Quincy's murder set the city on edge, especially since Everett and Jeffrey's traces were found at the crime scene, landing them multiple trips to the police station for questioning. After all, this wasn't just any case; it was a sensational murder that had everyone talking. Everett played dumb about Lane's whereabouts, only admitting his knowledge about a certain drug involved in the case.

The news that the CEO of the Lopez Corporation had passed out from shock at the grisly scene spread like wildfire across Eldorria City. Of course, Lane got wind of it too.

Kenneth, who had been watching the news, turned back with a slight frown. "Do you think... Everett could come up with the antidote on his own?"
