Chương 675: Surprisingly well

Penny sat behind the desk, still deep in thought. Yugi and Wild idled with her, but once they finished their little fish barbecue session, they left with the case files. Instead of doing some work now that the two had already departed, Penny found herself drowning in her own thoughts.

"Phantom Circle," she whispered, narrowing her eyes again. "Renren, don't tell me you are… a part of it?"

Penny trusted Wild's judgment more than her own. If Wild concluded that it was the Phantom Circle, then she believed him. After all, Wild wouldn't drop a name unless he was completely or almost sure about it.

"How?" she wondered to herself, lowering her gaze. "Should I ask him?"

Would asking him be the only way to find out? What if Zoren lied to her? What if this started a problem in their relationship?

There were so many "what-ifs" that followed that simple thought: "Should I ask him?" Hence, Penny slapped herself to get it together.
