章節 121: Poison Can Kill?

The press conference brought a whirlwind of inquiries, painting Bellrox Corporation and Drake Chwe in a more favorable light. Yet, amid the positive buzz, Drake's unease amplified.

"Where did he go? Why isn't he here?" Drake pondered, his mind spinning with doubt. His initial assumption that Justinbaste might be Zack White crumbled, leaving him even warier of Justinbaste's true identity.

"Are you looking for Lucille?" Marianne's voice snapped Drake out of his thoughts, drawing attention to Lucille's absence.
