Chapter 1841: Slumber Party
It took almost three days for everyone on the island to leave and contact the outside world. This was mainly due to the strange reception on the island. Their only contact was Yugi, who communicated with his father in a unique, coded way.
But Yugi had no time to inform everyone. After all, he had to connect the Anteca government with the situation and then fix the Prime Group’s current problems involving market manipulation.
So, after almost three days without a word from them, they were expecting quite a lot upon their return.

Riding in a van provided to them, Charles drew a deep breath as the gates of their home opened. With him were Atlas, Slater, Penny, and Zoren. Hugo would stay strapped in at the hospital in the city; the guy simply didn’t know the meaning of "staying put."
"Uh..." Penny smiled nervously, seated in the front row with her father, while her brothers stayed in the back with her husband.
She turned to Charles, wearing her sweetest smile. "Dad, I told you my husband and I should just go straight home. You know, Chunchun and Blacky probably miss us."
Charles kept his lips drawn into a thin line, slowly sliding his eyes to the corner. A part of him wanted to give in to his precious daughter, but then again...
He smiled—the kind of smile a schemer would give to the person they were planning to scam. "My beautiful princess, after everything that’s happened, it’s best if we just go home together and be grateful that we’re all coming here together."
"..." Penny’s mouth quivered as the corners of her eyes reddened.
She shot everyone in the back a look, only to see Slater sporting a mocking expression. Atlas looked away to avoid her gaze. As for Zoren, he looked at his wife apologetically.
