Chapter 897 The Underground Market Boss
Sharon stared at the stubble-bearded man and asked, “Tell me, who ordered
you to mine for gold here? How much do you know?”
The stubble-bearded man hadn’t expected Sharon to be so straightforward,
immediately posing such sharp questions.
But he also understood that his life might be jeopardized if he didn’t cooperate
with Sharon.
After hesitating for a moment, the stubble-bearded man uttered a name.
The name was unfamiliar to almost everyone present, leaving them puzzled
and exchanging bewildered glances.
Enter title…
“Who is that person? And why would she target us?” Mandy looked at Joe
and Charlotte with suspicion.
She noticed that Charlotte’s expression seemed somewhat off.
“Do you know her?”
Mandy grew even more curious. She had been with Charlotte for quite some
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttime, and she couldn’t recall ever hearing about any connection between
Charlotte and this person.
“The underground market boss.”
Not only Charlotte but even Joe furrowed his brows.
He hadn’t expected the mysterious figure behind the scenes to target
Charlotte.
Could it be because of their previous encounters? Was she seeking revenge?
“Whether it’s true or not, we can’t solely rely on his words,” Charlotte
suddenly remarked.
Joe nodded in agreement, not missing the subtle change in the stubblebearded man’s expression.
Though he concealed it well, everything was laid bare in Joe’s watchful eyes.
“Keep this man here; I’m going to take him to question the black market boss
in person.” Joe quickly made a decision.
Sharon nodded and quickly had the laborers escort the others out.
Jack had already contacted international authorities, and soon, personnel
arrived to take away all the laborers and supervisors.
Furthermore, Jack brought in a professional mining team to expedite the
extraction of gold from the mine.
After causing such a commotion, news of the gold mine on the island would
surely spread. They needed to extract the gold before anyone with malicious
intent took advantage of the situation.
However, these were concerns for later.
The most crucial task now was to take the stubble-bearded man to meet the
underground market boss.
Joe didn’t do this on impulse.
Since the recent crackdown by law enforcement on the underground market,
its influence had significantly diminished. Rumors suggested that several
rivals had encroached upon its territory.
Therefore, the current state of the underground market was like a taut string.
Once Joe decided to support her competitors, the underground market would
be on the brink of destruction.
Joe didn’t believe that, under these circumstances, the underground market
boss would dare to confront him. His visit was more about applying pressure
than facing off.

No matter how much profit the underground market’s boss had swallowed
before, now she had to spit it all out one by one.
Leaving Jack and Mandy on the island to handle follow-up matters, Joe,
Charlotte, and Sharon immediately headed for the underground market.
As Joe had suspected earlier, the current state of the underground market
had deteriorated significantly, with far fewer people coming and going.
Whether it was their imagination or not, they felt that even the once
magnificent auction hall now seemed dimmer.
Charlotte noticed that the previously tight security had almost doubled in
personnel.
She signaled to Joe, and he nodded in agreement.
Her assistant personally came to greet them, and upon seeing the stubblebearded man behind them, a look of
surprise crossed their face.
“Why is he with you?”
Seeing the assistant’s surprised expression, Charlotte raised an eyebrow. “He
claimed to be working for the boss, so we brought him along. Is there a
problem?”
The assistant’s gaze shifted back and forth between them and their
companion, seeming hesitant to speak.
