Chapter 704: Lead

"Any news? I couldn't contact you the whole time." Atlas stood in the middle of his room, holding his phone to his ear. "What's going on?"

"Uh, nothing's going on," Hugo reassured him with a light chuckle. "My phone died earlier. I was too busy investigating."

"Found out anything useful?"

"Nope." Hugo sighed, glancing up at the ceiling of the ward. "I checked the CCTV footage of the nearby establishments, but they didn't catch anything or anyone suspicious."

"Can you send the copies to me?"

"Well, about that... you should get them soon."

"Hmm?"

Hugo smiled a bit. "I asked Penny to send them to you."

"Why would you do that?"

'Because I can't do that right now, considering I'm admitted to the hospital with a roommate who has a bounty on his head,' was what Hugo wanted to tell his first brother, but he chose not to.

After all, Atlas would worry about him because it was Atlas who asked Hugo to look into it further. If Atlas found out that Hugo almost lost his life because his investigation led him to Merrick, it would throw Atlas off his game.

"I'm broke as hell, remember?" Hugo reminded him sassily. "And Penny doesn't want to lend her laptop to me. That little sister is becoming more and more stingy. So, I just asked her to send them to you."

Atlas arched a brow upon hearing Hugo's excuse. "That's the reason?"

"Yeah."
