## Explanation

Knowledge—whether a scientific process or a blackmail file—is depicted as a dangerous commodity, with characters willing to kill, betray, or die to control it, underscoring that secrets have immense and often deadly value.

The secret of the Professor's discovery and the syndicate's actions to suppress it come at a high cost, leading to death and suspicion.

The secret of the diamond process drives Robinson to extreme measures, including imprisonment and threats.

Drummond's suppressed knowledge and the hidden motives behind Goodman's death weigh heavily.

The threatening letter offering Professor Goodman a large sum to suppress his discovery, and the subsequent explosion, illustrate the dangers and costs associated with keeping secrets.
