[Ellie's P.O.V]
Anton suddenly spoke, "What about Jeffrey's classmate? Who was the investor?"
I also suspected a connection with the investor. Without substantial incentives, Jeffrey, as Joseph's student and assistant, wouldn't likely resort to theft. But what if Jeffrey's classmate didn't want Joseph's compensation and instead convinced him to do further research?
The question remained: why did they aim to create a potion but then opt to produce mutated werewolves instead of profiting from the drug in the market?
Joseph let out a bitter smile, "I have no idea. I never asked who Jeffrey's classmate was. Due to my trust in Jeffrey and, at the time, my emotional state while trying to save Amanda, I didn't have the luxury to think too much."
Although we were left disappointed without precise information regarding both leads, we decided to continue investigating along these lines.
