On a rainy night, Wayne took off from Moonlit Lake, citing some business he had to attend to back at the company.
Two hours later, he arrived at a small town in M City, standing outside a morgue.
Sean had arrived earlier. Seeing Wayne, he quickly strode over.
Wayne could smell the stench of death through the walls and doors.
Sean said, "President Silverman, I just went in. There are 8 members of the Atticus family... Despite some decomposition, they're still identifiable."
Sean and Atticus were old schoolmates. It was Sean who introduced Atticus to Wayne, which led Atticus to work for Wayne.
However, due to the nature of the job, once Atticus started working for Wayne, he didn't interact privately with Sean anymore.
The Atticus family had 8 people in total.
Besides Atticus, his wife, and their kids, Atticus's parents and his wife's parents were also killed.
Wayne asked, "Did you find out who did it?"
Sean didn't answer. Wayne stared at him, "Do I need to ask twice?"
Sean was silent for a moment, then pulled out his phone and showed Wayne a photo.
In the photo was a wooden board smeared with patchy blood and rotten flesh. However, a sentence written in red was still easily recognizable. It read. "Dedicated to the Wayne couple."
Wayne was furious when he saw this.
Sean said, "Orson found a similar message."
He then flicked to the next photo in his gallery.
This time, the message wasn't written on a wooden board but on the back of Orson's newlywed wife.
Orson's family had it worse.
They lived in a coastal city and were originally a big family of 27, including his brother and sister's families. But now they were all dead.
