[Extra 7: Mint]
"What in the world...?" Mint’s face twisted as she read something on a computer in a dark room. "Even though their bases were raided, the legacy she left—"
"What is this?"
Mint jumped from her chair, hitting the desk with her leg as she looked at the person behind her. Because the room was dark due to the blackout curtains, Benjamin popping up behind her out of nowhere almost gave her a heart attack.
"Beanie!" she shouted. "You almost gave me a heart attack! For a second, I thought you were that crazy Ray!"
Benjamin straightened his back, facing her.
"Mint, what is this again?" He pointed at the screen. "Why are you looking up cases again?"
Mint almost bit her tongue before laughing awkwardly. "I’m just... just bored."
"You already retired and promised that you would stay out of these kinds of things!" Benjamin scolded. "Also, look at your uniform! You’re going to start working for my boss soon, but even this isn’t ironed properly!"
Benjamin grumbled on and on as he slid the curtains open, making the light quickly spread through the room. He then picked up her uniforms, placing them over his arm while still nagging like a mother.
"Tch!" he glared at her. "How can you go to work without ironing your clothes?"
Mint pressed her lips into a thin line, watching him walk away to iron her uniform. She smacked her lips and skipped her steps, following Hugo.
"Beanie~ how about you teach me, eh?!" she cooed as she followed, leaving the computer on and the case she was reading.
After what happened on the island, Mint was granted a badge and a promotion. However, she respectfully declined the promotion and asked for permission for an early retirement. With her remarkable achievement and impeccable track record, the person who awarded her with that request was none other than the President of Anteca.
Hugo also earned a badge, but unlike her, he couldn’t just leave yet. So, Hugo would need one more deployment.
So, currently, Mint was just taking a long vacation, which she rarely had. And as she did, she would find herself looking into some cases in the underground world.
After they recovered Nathalie’s remains just drifting in the ocean, they apprehended all her members. Once that was clear, they raided all their bases in Anteca while the Interpol focused on their foreign headquarters.
But even with that, Nathalie left a legacy.
The businesses she established still ran rampant in the underground. She might have fallen, but another one rose.
Either way, Nathalie wasn’t the only one who left a legacy—Mint did as well. After all, even when Mint retired to fulfill her promises to Benjamin, those who had witnessed her and the Bennet family’s bravery sparked something in those who saw their long battle.
So, Nathalie’s end might not have eradicated all the evil in the world, but this victory against her was proof that evil doesn’t always prevail. And as long as there was evil, there would always be people who would fight for what was right.

[Extra 8: Butler Jen and William]
"So, your kid left the company, huh?" Seated on the bench in the Pierson Corporation rooftop garden, William was eating some bread brought by Butler Jen.
Butler Jen smiled warmly as he turned to him. "He did, but good sir, he is not my child. Although I’ve witnessed him grow into a fine young man."
"Ahh..." William nodded, already aware that Butler Jen was a butler. "You call him that?"
"Yes."
Now that William thought about it, Butler Jen was sort of on the caliber of Butler Hubert. For someone like him, he now wondered who this child was.
"If you don’t mind me asking, who is this... person you kept visiting back then?"
"It’s the First Young Master, Atlas."
"!!!!" William’s eyes widened in horror as he paled.
Butler Jen, unaware of the trauma Atlas had caused on the man, chuckled. "He said he’s reconsidering. So, he really appreciates that you keep insisting. He hadn’t realized just how much the executives of Pierson Corporation value him."
Hearing this, William shook his head in horror. Just the mere thought of Atlas coming back was enough to fill him with fear.
’No! Don’t let that ball of resentment back in here!!’

[Extra 9: Jonathan]
Jonathan sat quietly, staring at the person seated across from him. Between him and his visitor was a thick glass with little holes so they could hear each other.
"Zoren Pierson," Jonathan called, staring at Zoren’s cold face. "What do you want?"
