Chapter 1743: Made just for her
Hugo, Mint, and Zoren lingered a little longer to discuss other matters. However, they eventually left without deciding who to approach about putting someone in charge of the Zorken Family. It wasn’t something they could just postpone—they had to consider it thoroughly. Perhaps even consult Charles and Haines.
Once they were gone, Penny sat behind her office desk.
Opening the drawer, she let out a shallow breath. She pressed the inside surface, hearing a soft click. Beneath the hidden compartment was the book containing the code. Right beside it was a gun.
"I said all that, but it’s still a little scary to be holding something this dangerous," she muttered, picking up the gun she had kept for a while. She held it up to her face, studying it for a moment before placing it on the desk.
Just in case, Penny closed the secret compartment and kept the gun in the drawer. The only reason she had hidden it was because Yugi had asked about it. He’d voiced his concerns, after all. So, she told him she had only kept it for Mark at the time—and that she’d returned it to him.
She had kept it hidden ever since.
But now, even if she was sure no one would barge into her office, it was better to be cautious.
With that, Penny carefully placed the gun back in the drawer for easier access. Holding the book, even temporarily, was still a heavy responsibility. If it landed in the wrong hands, it would be her fault—and she wasn’t about to let that happen.
Once everything was secured, she reached out to the telecom.
"Come to my office now," she said as soon as she pressed the button.
