Chapter 1791: A collector’s warehouse

"So, we just have to make sure we will! Let’s go. I think we’re already here."

With that, Penny jogged ahead while Slater kept his eyes on her figure. As she jogged away, the smile on Penny’s face slightly faded.

To be honest, Penny’s reason for believing in Atlas wasn’t just pure faith in him. Zoren had already shared a lot of information about the Zorken Family and the Shadow Order with her. It was why she knew that even if she got the code, she wasn’t the right person to lead such a powerful group.

Even Zoren admitted he wasn’t fit.

Of course, the couple were capable. However, they couldn’t because Atlas was already determined. Besides, with Atlas’s experience at Global Prime Logistics and his seamless transition to the Pierson Corporation, this was just another transition for him.

Besides, she knew Atlas would find a way to regain some form of freedom, even after making the Shadow Order kneel.

With that, her smile returned.

Meanwhile, Shawn glanced at Slater quietly before following Penny, walking past him. It took Slater a while to catch up.

"Of course, First Brother will be alright," Slater muttered to himself, dragging his feet to catch up with them.

Just as she said, they reached the area the grandma had told them about, and, as expected, they found a small, abandoned-looking hut. Still, the three of them entered and followed the grandma’s instructions, searching for any secret door on the ground.

As they searched, Slater soon felt something underneath the pile of dry leaves. Clearing it with his hand, he caught sight of a small rectangular metal plate.

"Penny!" he shouted, making Penny and Shawn pause.

The other two quickly rushed to where he was, finding the metal plate on the ground. They exchanged looks before Slater gazed down and pulled the plate up.
