Chapter 742: In a Different Lens

"I see." Penny rocked her head, seated on the chair with her legs crossed. "So that’s what’s happening, huh?"

"The Church," Zoren hummed, leaning back in his seat. "That doesn’t sound good."

They weren’t directly involved in the Secret Society, but they were aware of the powerful families behind it. The Church was a formidable force—not because of military strength, but because of influence. Its reach ran deeper than any other, and while individual supporters might not stand a chance against a founding family, together, they would be a headache.

"But why would they want to abolish the Secret Society?" Finn wondered, deep in thought. "It doesn’t make sense to me."

Penny nodded. "Given that the other founding families haven’t caught on that they might also be in danger, a lot of this doesn’t make sense."

"If they truly wanted that," Zoren added quietly, "they should’ve made a move when the Order was unstable. They didn’t have to wait until someone took over or until it stabilized."

Atlas listened and nodded. He glanced at his brothers—Slater and Hugo—and they nodded as well. These were the same questions that had been gnawing at them.

"What about Yuri?" Penny shifted the topic. "Still no leads?"

Atlas shook his head. "The team I sent found something, but we’re hoping it eventually leads us to her. There’s no guarantee, though. They should be on the move right now, considering the time difference."

"Still no word from them?"

"Not yet. But I’m expecting something soon."

Another heavy silence settled over them as they processed everything that had been discussed. Atlas had told them everything. On the surface, it might have seemed straightforward, but it wasn’t. Too many things didn’t connect.

"Actually, Penny. Zoren." Atlas suddenly looked at the couple, then back at Penny. "Since I don’t remember my first life... how was I back then?"

The trio frowned, so Slater spoke up.

"He’s asking what he did in the past that might’ve made people want him dead," Slater clarified. "I already told him what I know, but it’s barely helpful."

"He was investigating my case," Penny said in a knowing tone. "And because he came dangerously close, he got into an accident. Zoren rescued him. He fell into a coma, but when he woke up... everyone was dead."

She shrugged. "So he—" She trailed off, finding it unnecessary to continue.

They all knew what followed.

Atlas had taken his own life in their first life.

Penny wasn’t there to witness it—she was already dead by then—but she trusted Zoren’s account. Atlas couldn’t accept everything and eventually ended his life.

"No," Atlas shook his head. "Not that one. Before your arrest."

"First Brother believes the accusation against the company was meant to put him behind bars," Hugo explained. "But because Penny is a busybody, she ended up taking the fall."
