Chapter 537 Upon hearing Isabella’s question, Draxton fell silent momentarily before saying, 'Whether it's the crystal potion or the crystal robot, it's all related to the big ship at the bottom of Pacilian Ocean.
Very few people knew how that large ship had appeared fifty years ago.
"You have to ask grandfather about this." Isabella commented, "Number Five mentioned that Jake and Olivia are in the headman's laboratory. What we need to do now is find the headman's laboratory, save them, and... find the so-called headman.
"The headman is hiding. | want to see what kind of existence he is." A light flashed across Isabella's eyes.
Draxton said seriously, "Bella, leave everything to me. The most important thing for you to do now is to protect yourself and our children.’ Isabella sighed. "You're right. | have to think about the children.” She gently caressed her slightly protruding abdomen. She was gentle and determined.
Draxton also reached out and gently wrapped the back of her hand. The two of them stood side by side.
At that moment, the butler hurried over excitedly. "Patriarch, patriarch's wife, Spencer, is awake!" Isabella and Draxton looked at each other and hurriedly walked toward Spencer's residence.
When Isabella and Draxton arrived, they excitedly saw a few doctors crowd around Spencer's bed. Spencer had already woken up and was leaning against the bed. Although his face was pale and he was extremely thin, he looked very energetic.
Upon seeing their arrival, a few doctors immediately moved to the sides and made way for them. The doctors’ respectful gazes all landed on Isabella.

Spencer's gaze fell on Isabella. Spencer heard from the doctors that the patriarch's wife had saved him.
That was the first the met Isabella, but he already knew Isabella very well before that. After all, Big Dipper and Little Dipper's respect for the patriarch's wife had spread throughout almost every branch.
It was to the extent that the people from the various branches of the Lockwood family had long heard of the patriarch's wife.
"Patriarch, patriarch's wife." Spencer greeted respectfully. He tried to get up but was too weak to do so.
Draxton stopped him. "Don't move." Spencer did not move. He looked at Isabella and thanked her profusely, "Patriarch's wife. Thank you for saving my life. | will repay your kindness in the future.” "Oh, then how are you going to repay me?" Isabella asked.
"Err..." Spencer’ had a mental block.
He never expected the patriarch's wife to be so blunt.
"You saved me. My life now belongs to yours." Spencer thought for a moment and thanked solemnly.
"I don't want your life. You should recuperate and work hard for your patriarch." Isabella did not make things difficult for him and declared with a bright smile.
Draxton asked, "Spencer, do you know that Walter is fake?" Spencer suddenly becsilent.
Spencer's expression suddenly turned solemn. He explained, "That day, | saw Walter sending the confidential information from the Big Dipper branch to an external party. | only thought that Walter had betrayed us. Because I had stopped him, he wanted to kill me. At that time, | was shocked and angry, and he was chasing after me.
Later, | was cornered to a dead end. | was already determined to die, so | called the patriarch. However, just as Walter was about to create an explosion to blowup, | saw him smiling at me. At that moment, | suddenly realized that Walter would not smile like that. That smile and the look in his eyes were very unfamiliar. Before | lost consciousness, | knew that the person was not Walter..." Spencer continued, "I'm sorry, patriarch. | was so careless, and | sent you the wrong information. | wonder if anything happened to the Big Dipper branch while | was unconscious." Draxton consoled, "You don't have to blyourself. Letask you, can you tell when Walter was replaced?" Spencer thought quietly and answered, "I'm not sure. But one day, something special happened. It lefta deep impression, so | haven't forgotten it." Draxton's eyebrows twitched. "You're someone who has undergone special training. You have to believe in your gut feelings." Spencer was stunned. "Yes, patriarch. A month ago, Walter said he would need to meet a special client.
"I was a little curious, so | probed him with another question. | asked who that client was and how he could trouble Walter to meet him personally. After all, Walter's social status in Southeast Aelinne is very high.
"At that time, Walter toldthat since he had nothing to do, it would be a good opportunity to meet a recently rising businessman. Most importantly, that businessman was a Lucsian. He was very interested in seeing his compatriot in Southeast Aelinne.
"| think that the main reason why Walter took the initiative to meet the businessman was that the other party's identity was a Lucsian.
"At that time, | didn't think too much about it. The next day, | saw Walter again. | even specially asked him about the Lucsian businessman. He only smiled and said that the other party was indeed a businessman. He didn't mind helping him.
"I realized he didn't want to say more, so | didn't ask further. After that, neither of us mentioned that Lucsian businessman again." Isabella and Draxton looked at each other. A person flashed through their minds at the stime. Isabella quickly asked, "Spencer, do you know the nof that businessman from Lucsia?" Spencer thought momentarily and replied,* | did hear from Walter once. It's strange. That businessman is a Lucsian, but he has a local name. I think his nis Nita.’ "It is him!" Isabella said.
Draxton's face turned gloomy.

Spencer was shocked, 'Patriarch, Patriarch's wife, have you seen that person? Is Walter's accident related to that person?" Draxton answered, "Bella and | just saw that person yesterday. There's something suspicious about that person’s background. If Walter met with an accident because of him, then there's no need to think too much about that person's background. It must be related to that branch." "Patriarch, I'm useless. | had to trouble you to cand deal with the matters in Southeast Aelinne personally..." Spencer looked down in shame.
"As an elite from the Lockwood family's Expendable Camp, you shouldn't be so careless. After you have recovered, you can return to Expendable Camp and train for another month. Do you have any objections?" Draxton asked.
Spencer requested, "Patriarch. I'm willing to return to Expendable Camp for three months." That was because he felt that a month's punishment was too short.
"Up to you," Draxton agreed.
Isabella said, "You're still a patient, after all. Take good care of your body first. With your current health condition, I'm afraid it won't be possible for you to recover to your peak condition without a few months." When Draxton heard this, he added, "Rest well. I'll get someone else to cover your role." Spencer nodded.
Isabella left Spencer's room and expressed, 'So, that Lucsian called Nita must be related to that branch." Draxton continued, "Bella, none of these forces in Southeast Aelinne are innocent. Let's start with Dominic first." Isabella said, "Alright, let's start with him first." At the stime, Dominic's estate welcomed two guests, Chorluke and Nita.
Dominic told them, "You might not know this, but Isabella is the best test subject.
"Isabella had fused with Evolution Poison. It was rumored that Evolution Poison was Clan Mobius's inheritance treasure. After fusing with Evolution Poison, it could revive people from the dead. This magical gene was more worth studying than as compared to the Lockwood family.
"Moreover, Isabella was injected with the Black Crystal Potion. Not only that, but she was also pregnant with Draxton's child. Capturing Isabella is equivalent to capturing two test subjects."
