Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 2315: Chapter 2324: The Truth Behind It Is Even More Complex Than Imagined

Rupert Harris didn’t really know if he was genuinely paying attention or simply ignoring the warning. Calmly, he relayed the findings of his investigation, ”The person you’re talking about is the real head of the Oscar Family. Besides that, he is also the Chairman of an overseas trading company. Because you asked me to look into it, I carried out a detailed investigation of that company’s background, and what I found was quite troubling...”

With a stern tone, he said, ”Baron, are you familiar with the dark web?”

”Hmm?”

”It’s essentially another network world within the virtual web, apart from the normal Internet we use—it’s the dark web! The term ’dark web’ literally translates to ’dark network,’ and at a deeper level, it means that items prohibited by law from being traded in the real-world network can be traded on the dark web. This includes virtual currency, rare animals, cultural treasures, slaves, and—arms.”

He enunciated the last two words with particular clarity.

”Every year, hundreds of wars and tens of thousands of armed conflicts occur globally. From where do these non-legitimate organizations procure their firearms and ammunition? Including pirates and others, where do they get their advanced weaponry and ships?” Rupert Harris articulated clearly, ”They buy them from the dark web!”

”There is a specialized trade currency on the dark web, which is also virtual currency. Buyers convert their money into virtual currency through legitimate avenues, then engage in transactions on the dark web through unofficial channels. The immense web of interests and monetary trade has created a huge profit chain on the dark web, fostering a massive group of individuals who thrive off this illicit income. The overseas company of the person you asked me to investigate is connected to the dark web.”

”Actually, over recent years, I’ve already noticed that some of the Oscar Family’s funding sources are unclear. They’re not new to the dark web; I just didn’t expect them to have any connection to you.”

The Lawrence Corporation conducts legitimate business and makes money.

The business on the dark web is hidden from view and also makes money.

These are two distinct ways of earning, and they are destined to never intersect.

But he didn’t anticipate there being a crossover point—Enna Clark!

Or rather, the Habsden Family!

”I believe the reason he made a move on Enna is because the Habsden Family controls the most profitable item on the dark web—arms!”

Rupert Harris’s voice sank a bit, as he continued to speak.

”Edward Jackson, this man, is truly formidable, flawless in every way, with powerful tactics. Under his leadership, the Habsden Family has maintained its position as the top family in Country T, controlling the nation’s oil extraction! He holds the raw materials for the dark web arms trade, and if others want to take this business, they have to deal with him. But Edward Jackson remains unassailable year after year, which shows how powerful his methods are. Those people can’t handle Edward Jackson, so they target Enna instead.”

”You said... arms?” Baron Lawrence hadn’t expected the network of relations to be so complex; he thought it was simply related to the oil deal that Skye Lawrence mentioned in Country T.

Now it seemed, even with all the work Skye had done for the people behind the scenes, she hadn’t even scraped the surface of the truth.

”Yes, arms,” Rupert Harris said gravely, ”That’s why I told you it’s very dangerous. It’s an incalculable fortune, and these people are all desperadoes. If they want to seize this business, they have to target Enna.”
