Chapter 1715: That's enough breather

"And they answer only to Mr. Zorken- and the person who would have this passcode or perhaps, a coordinate of where they hide, will be considered Mr. Zorken's heir."

Another wave of silence dawned on them as they let everything sink in.

"A code or a coordinate...?" Dean murmured, scratching the back of his head as he was barely following this investigation report.

He glanced at everyone present, catching the grim look on their faces. However, what surprised him the most was Slater being in the same room. Throughout the beginning, Slater hadn't spoken a word. However, his reaction told Dean that this third son of the Bennets was also in on it.

Quite unexpected.

But even more surprising was that there were four Naylanis. Not even two-but four! But so far, that was still unclear, since from Zoren's story, only three daughters were raised in the Zorken Family, in this secret society.

'One of them died, and her name is Noel,' Dean thought. 'One of them is Enzo Pierson's wife? Then, this evil sister. How about the fourth one?'

There were still so many questions lingering in Dean's mind. Although he was slowly catching up on the investigation, the Bennets had been conducting.

Meanwhile, everyone remained quiet for a different reason than Dean. This information, after all, just changed everything they had until now.

For them, Noel-Haines's ex-lover-had concocted this lethal drug. And according to the investigation, she wrote the formula underneath her skin. It made sense since this lethal drug was generating hundreds of millions alone.

But then again, retaining the sample of this pill was still enough to study it and replicate it. It wouldn't be easy, but the chances still existed. But for them to abduct Charles and torture him for Noel's remains, it made more sense why they would go that far.
