I looked at Trinity and said, "To be honest, I feel guilty about Atlas. I only found out about this after he returned to Jitador. I didn't expect him to break into their stronghold. Looks like you really need to thank him." "Why do you say that?" Trinity asked me, looking puzzled.
"He has a deep-seated grudge with that organization from Jitador because they killed his parents. He infiltrated their base for the antidote after we captured the assassin. If you hadn't mentioned it today, I wouldn't have had the chance to ask about it. Looks like I'm not that good of a partner." "That Jitador organization killed his parents?" Trinity was surprised.

Everything pointed to this organization, but a crucial person was missing, which made it impossible to pin it on them back then," I didn't hide the truth from Trinity. "If you hadn't been the one injured this time, I would be dead." "I see." Trinity looked serious, as though she was taking on responsibility like the head of a family. "Who are we looking for then?" I hesitated. Trinity immediately asked, "Don't you trust me?" "It's not that. It's just that I don't know if I should tell you this," I said, truthfully.
"What are you saying? We're friends. Why do you need to think about it?" Trinity looked atskeptically.
"We're looking for a man named Rory White. He used to be Atlas's father's personal assistant. According to official reports, he died in the plane crash with Atlas's parents." "And?" Trinity said eagerly. She grew alert, like a hunting dog who had scented its prey.
"But his wife also passed away two months after the plane crash, allegedly due to grief. That made Atlas suspicious.
As I recounted all this to Trinity, my own thoughts suddenly becclearer.
He suspected that things were not o simple. But he was only ten years ›ld at the tand later experiencec sunexpected events. It wasn't until he was older that he secretly nvestigated the plane crash and liscovered the true identity of the person who had supposedly died in he crash-Rory. This person was a ake, and he was actually affiliated vith the organization from Jitador." I briefly told Trinity about the origins of this matter.

I answered the call. Ryan said, "We have news about Avalon Hills. They've officially announced a rebid. immediately perked up at the news. "I'll head back to the company right away." S "Okay," Ryan responded. "We'll need more solid information shortly, so be prepared to provide the necessary details." After hanging up, I told Trinity, "I need to go back to the company immediately. Something important has cup.' "Looks like it's more important than me." She sounded a little sulky. After all, she was the head of the Huffman family, and she was probably rarely overlooked. ŚwI smiled apologetically. "It's not more important than you, but it's important to my company. I'll spend the day with you after I deal with this." "Promise?" She glanced at me, probing. "Looks like I have to leave the hospital. Staying here is drivingcrazy." "Get srest. I'll make sure to csee you whenever I have time. That's a promise." I stood up quickly. "I have to go now. This really is urgent. Take care." "Tellmore about this Rory next tyou're here. I might be able to help you," she added earnestly.
I was taken aback for a moment. Her family's influence was said to be widespread, and she might really be able to offersreal help as head of the family.
"Okay. I could use your help. I really need it."
