Chapter 724: Willpower

[SKYLINE PLAZA]

"Done," Penny muttered under her breath, holding the phone to her ear. "But Yugi, before you go on, let me say one thing. This could be... no, this is more dangerous than you think. The person behind this doesn't care about human lives and is the worst kind of psycho."

"That, I know," Yugi responded coolly. "If you're handling it with caution, I'm sure it's not something you'd approach lightly. Don't worry about me. I'm old enough to fend for myself."

He paused, exhaling a deep breath. "My family is affected by this, and I won't just stand by Penny. I'm pissed."

"Very well," she replied. "Just try not to get into too much trouble."

"Heh." Yugi snickered. "So, who is it?"

Penny hesitated, reluctant to reveal the name. But she knew that withholding it would only delay Yugi's progress, especially since her orders hadn't yet included the person she suspected was responsible.

"Jonathan Russel," she said. "I'm still not sure about him, but he's the name Finn mentioned when he came to see me the morning before his accident."

"Jonathan Russel... got it."

"Be careful."

"Hah. He should be."
