Eh, my guess was "company" because maybe the cargo was merchandise. What kind of merchandise, I had no clue. I guessed "family company" because it'd make sense if her family shares the snowflake emblem that we saw on her clothes. It just wouldn't make sense for someone as young as her to be in charge of said company. For whatever reason, the thought of her being an heiress didn't even enter my mind, but y'know. And I figured the company must be pretty successful, considering that they can afford to have their merchandise transported on a heavily guarded train.

Yeah, volume 1 had a lot of obvious plot twists. I don't think that us being less able to figure a bunch of stuff out has to do with Monty employing some special style that's now lost. I think it has more to do with them getting better at keeping certain key pieces of info out of our hands in a reasonable way.

For example, nothing in volumes 1-3 would've really justified randomly bringing up mentions or discussion of the real Relics, so it's reasonable that they withheld information about the Relics. The old short-lived volume 1 theory of "They're targeting Beacon because there's something hidden in Beacon that they want to take" was a lucky guess made by following a trope and the fact that Beacon was circled on Torchwick's map.
