Chapter 1683: how come that bitch is still alive?

"That drug Penny's been studying for some time. The lethal drug."

Atlas and Dean didn't speak. They just stared at each other, and their silence was louder than a scream.

Without a word, Dean took off his blazer, dragging a stool as he sat down by the counter. But instead of going straight for the box of pills, he checked every chemical and searched for notes. Anyone conducting research or simply testing substances like this one would need to take notes.

Meanwhile, Atlas watched Dean before turning his attention to the investigation wall behind him.

He approached it carefully, his eyes scanning the investigation board. There was a lot of information here-enough to overwhelm or confuse someone who didn't know what Jonathan had been up to. But Atlas was aware that one way or another, Jonathan was connected to what was happening around them.

And this entire wall showed it.

The Pierson Family tree, the ones in power, the Smith Family, well-known businessmen and politicians, and even some people and organizations Atlas had never heard of.

Human trafficking.

Illegal drugs.

Scams.

Gambling.

And many more were listed under the organization's name, with a photo of a woman connected to it.
