Chapter 496: Why the Zorken Is Dangerous

One reason the Zorken family was once the most powerful family in the secret society was because of its structure. The Zorkens had decided long ago to split their power, which gave birth to the Order.

While the Zorken family focused on economic and state affairs, the Order focused solely on strengthening its military power.

And to build that military strength, the late head of the family had invested heavily in research—multiple research projects and inventions.

"Technology in the outside world has advanced," Sybil continued, leading Lola through the tour. "From harmless devices like cellphones to machinery to deadly weapons like nuclear arms... the Zorken family contributed to all of it."

She glanced at Lola with a proud smile. "You’re probably aware of who succeeded in creating the first nuclear weapon."

"Don’t tell me..." Lola murmured, catching how Sybil’s smile stretched wider.

"He was part of the Order," Sybil confirmed. "If you visited the Order’s library, you’d even see some of his research there."

Lola listened quietly, unsure whether she was amazed or alarmed. After all, that wasn’t the only information Sybil had revealed.

There were also a few people—people who had made history or changed the world. Some even made it into history books. Never in her wildest imagination had she thought the very people others praised were members of the Order.

"The Zorken family’s military strength is undeniably strong," Sybil went on. "With our inventions and research bearing fruit, it could easily change the world. However, not everyone in the Zorken family can fight like those in the combat department."

Adding to that, Sybil explained that the rumors saying the Zorken family members were all experienced fighters were nothing but rumors—rumors spread by the Zorken family and the Order themselves to scare off anyone thinking of infiltrating their land.

"Nathalie knew that," Sybil added with a deep breath. "She knew the Order’s weakness and targeted it specifically."

Lola pressed her lips into a thin line, shifting her eyes to Sybil before glancing at the transparent room beside them. There, she saw several researchers studying a beating heart on the table.

In other words, the island where Nathalie—the main villain in the Bennet–Pierson story—was captured, and the people she had taken hostage, were mostly researchers.

"If you don’t know yet, the late head of the Zorken family couldn’t conceive a child," Sybil’s voice snapped Lola out of her thoughts. "They had to undergo a complicated procedure to have children. Hence, the existence of their triplets."

Lola shot Sybil a side-eye as they stopped before another glass cubicle.

"Unfortunately, one decision led to such destruction," Sybil sighed. "Anyway, this floor focuses on medical breakthroughs."

"What are they doing over there?"

"They’re studying how the heart reacts to the drug they’ve been developing," Sybil explained. "We’re hoping we can find something useful. Perhaps a drug or procedure that can basically create soldiers who don’t fatigue."

"What?"

"Do not worry, Madam," Sybil said with a reassuring smile. "The research has yet to show any promising results without harmful side effects."

But it was working?

Lola gulped, unsure what to feel about this discovery. She had been here for a month, yet she was only now uncovering this side of the Order. No wonder Atlas wanted her to take her time.
