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

Huo Leiting didn’t know if he really listened or simply didn’t take his warning seriously. Steadily, he relayed the content he had uncovered to him, "The person you’re asking about is the true head of the Oslo family. Besides that, he is also the Chairman of an overseas trade company. Because you wanted me to investigate, I delved deeper into the company’s background, and it led me to some very unsettling news..."

He said sternly, "Beijue, are you aware of the dark web?"

"En?"

"Aside from the internet we normally use, there exists another world within the virtual realm, known as the dark web! The so-called dark web, translated literally, means dark network, but in essence, it’s a place where items banned by law from trading on the real internet can be dealt on the dark web. This includes virtual currency, rare animals, antiques and treasures, slaves, and—firearms."

The last two words, he enunciated with remarkable clarity.

"Every year, hundreds of wars occur globally, with tens of thousands of armed conflicts. Where do these non-regulated groups get their weapons and ammunition? Pirates included, where do they procure their advanced weapons and ships?" Huo Leiting articulated clearly, "All are bought from the dark web!"

"The dark web has a special transaction currency, which is also a virtual currency. Buyers convert their money into virtual currency through legal channels and then use illegitimate channels to trade on the dark web. The massive network of benefits and money trades creates a gigantic profit chain, breeding a group of people who thrive on this dirty money. The overseas company of the person you wanted me to investigate is related to the dark web."

"In fact, I had already discovered in recent years that some of the Oslo family’s funds have unclear sources. They haven’t been new to the dark web; it’s just that I didn’t expect them to be connected to you."

Li’s Plutocrat conducts legitimate business, and still profits.

Business on the dark web is hidden from the light, and it profits equally.

These are two distinct ways of making money, two pathways destined never to intersect.

But he never imagined there would be a crossing point—Chi Enen!

Or rather, the Habsburg family!

"I think the reason he acted against Enen is because the Habsburg family holds the most lucrative line on the dark web—firearms!"

Huo Leiting’s voice fell deeper as he continued.

"Quan Dongting, this man, is truly exceptional, virtually flawless, with formidable tactics. Under his leadership, the Habsburg family has managed to remain the top family in Country T, controlling the entire nation’s petroleum extraction! He holds the raw materials for firearms on the dark web; if others wish to partake in this business, they can only get rid of him. But Quan Dongting... has remained invincible all these years, showing just how skilled he is. Unable to deal with Quan Dongting, those people perhaps thought to target Enen."

"You mean... firearms?" Li Beijue hadn’t anticipated the web of relationships to be this complex; he thought it was simply related to the petroleum mentioned by Li Qiyun and Country T.

Now it seems, despite all Li Qiyun has done for the people behind the scenes, she hasn’t even touched the edges of the real truth.

"Yes, firearms." Huo Leiting said with a heavy voice, "That’s why I told you it’s very dangerous. It’s an immeasurable fortune, and those people, all being desperates, want to seize this business just by targeting Enen."
