As Dio left the police station, he kept thinking about Edward's words.

Something never seen before.

Only the most advanced laboratories can build it.

And who owns Gotham's most advanced laboratory?

Wayne Group.

He was almost certain that this was one of Wayne's secret projects.

It's just unclear why it was leaked, causing the current chaos.

Everyone thought that the snake venom potion was a deadly poison that would kill anyone who used it.

But after hearing Edward's analysis, Dio thought even further ahead.

If this thing is the original version of Bane's Venom, then its potential is far more than just "deadly poison".

In critical moments, it can even be used as a trump card to trade one's life for another.

Therefore, he set his sights on Wayne Enterprises' subsidiary, Weizan Pharmaceuticals.

That was Gotham's biggest and best laboratory.

If this drug is indeed related to Wayne Enterprises, then Vezan Pharmaceuticals is the prime suspect.

Dior waved down a taxi on the street.

"Go to Weizan to make medicine."

"Yes, sir."

Bruce ran out of the police station, looked around, and finally spotted a glimpse of gold.

"Taxi!" He flagged one down, pointed to the car in front, and said, "Follow it. I'll give you a lot of money."

"The customer is king, as you wish, sir."

-----------------

Vizan Pharmaceuticals.

Dior got out of the car and looked up at the logo on the top of the building.

He had read in Thomas Wayne's autobiography that Wayne Enterprises' annual aid to Wezan Pharmaceuticals remained stable at around 30%.

Just the right amount, enough to have complete control without becoming the controlling shareholder in name only.

A very subtle number.

If the venom potion was indeed developed by Vezan Pharmaceuticals, then this sense of distance and uncertainty makes sense.

Dior was just about to walk in confidently when he heard footsteps behind him.

"You're not planning to use facial recognition to get in, are you?"

Bruce walked over, his face still bearing that melancholy expression, showing no sign of remorse.

They actually followed us here?

Dior glanced at him.

This guy is putting on quite a good act.

He was clearly feeling incredibly guilty, but he maintained a calm and expressionless demeanor.

"A venomous snake potion, right?"

Bruce ignored his strange gaze and continued talking to himself, his fingers secretly clenching the hem of his clothes.

"My father restarted many long-dormant projects many years ago..."

His voice grew softer and softer, as if he was unsure whether he should say these things. He suddenly stopped and remained silent for a few seconds.

"Does your hand still hurt?"

Bruce himself felt the words came out awkwardly.

He turned his head away and stared at the glass facade of Weizan Pharmaceuticals, as if there was something on it worth studying.

"Uh, that's not what I meant. I meant, how are you going to attend the banquet in a few days?"

"A banquet? I'm not interested in that kind of thing."

Dio rolled his eyes, not wanting to look at this pathetic guy in front of him.

"And are you sure we want to have this awkward conversation standing here?"

"Let's get down to business first."

"it is good."

Bruce took a deep breath, looked at the security personnel at the main entrance, and walked over.

After exchanging a few quick words, Bruce strode back and pointed to the door behind him:

"Dio, he's given us permission to go in."

Soon, news of the two young masters from Wayne Enterprises arriving at Wayne Pharmaceuticals reached the public relations department.

As Dior stepped into the lobby, hurried footsteps came from the direction of the elevator.

The leader was a white woman in her forties who was dressed in a women's suit and looked very well-maintained.

"I'm Aria, the head of public relations. Mr. Wayne, Mr. Brando, please come with me."

In the conference room, Bruce, sitting in the main seat, remained calm; he was quite comfortable in this kind of setting.

Dior sat in the first seat on the side, while Ms. Aria, the head of public relations, did not sit down.

Standing there, Alia spoke respectfully, yet hesitantly:

"Welcome to Wezan Pharmaceuticals. The other managers are just too busy, so they might be unable to..."

"Thank you for coming to see me."

Bruce, sitting in the main seat, glanced at Aria indifferently, his posture and manners impeccable.

In contrast, Dior's posture was much more relaxed, but combined with his aura, it was as if he were sitting on a throne.

"I have a few questions."

Dior turned his gaze to Aria.

How much do you know about snake venom potions?

"All I know is what's in the news; Vizan Pharmaceuticals has absolutely nothing to do with this incident."

"Oh."

Upon hearing this, Dio stared at Aria, who was blatantly lying.

The latter met his gaze openly.

That's the look in an adult's eyes when they're trying to fool a child.

Dior pursed his lips in displeasure:

"Let me be frank, what exactly is the connection between the snake venom potion and Vezan Pharmaceuticals?"

"If we didn't have evidence, we wouldn't have come here in the first place, do you understand?"

Aria was silent for a few seconds, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Dio and Bruce, just about to speak...

Bruce added:

"Don't give us platitudes."

"All right."

Alia took a deep breath and gave a professional, fake smile.

"Gentlemen."

"The venomous snake potion was indeed related to us in the past..."

She said that the drug was indeed related to Vizan Pharmaceuticals, but that was in the past.

When Thomas Wayne discovered that the corporation was developing this deadly poison, he decisively banned the project.

However, after Thomas's death, Wayne Enterprises ordered the project to be restarted.

So this matter is related to Wayne Enterprises, but not to Vizan Pharmaceuticals.

"Wayne Corporation has ordered the project to be restarted?"

Bruce frowned and met Dio's gaze.

Both of them saw the same thing in each other's eyes: the manager was talking nonsense!

She said a lot, but her words were a mix of truth and lies, trying to fool the two of them like ordinary children.

"As the parent company, Wayne Enterprises must know the formula for the Viper Potion."

"Of course, no problem." Aliya smiled and readily agreed.

Shortly after, Dio and Bruce emerged from Wayne's pharmaceutical plant, neither of them looking too good.

It's really unpleasant to feel like you're being fooled like a child.

"Wayne Group is unlikely to restart this project."

Bruce's face was grim.

At this moment, he was somewhat agreeing with Dio's previous "theory of power".

If he were an adult and sitting in the chairman's seat, this woman would never dare to fool him like this.

"Maybe."

Dior, however, held a different view, believing that Wayne Enterprises clearly had many secrets.

Venomous snake medicine is just the tip of the iceberg.

Dior glanced down at the file folder in his hand.

We've got the formula, that's the most important thing.

As for who restarted the project?

Only God knows.

The Wayne Group's secrets were far deeper than he had imagined.

The Wayne couple died because of this, and the Court of Owls is still watching.

The formula is only the first step.
