    Chapter 972 Asking For Trouble


    Gale had also heard about this matter.


    Jones Group’s production of banned drugs in Essley was an illegal act, which naturally drew significant


    attention from the authorities.


    Hence, Gale quickly agreed, “Rest assured, I will arrange for someone to personally monitor the


    uing progress.”


    “Thank you for going through the trouble.”


    Gale chuckled. “It’s unnecessary to speak so formally between us. We’ve known each other for so


    long, yet you’ve never asked me for anything. Now that you finally have, I must do my best to help you


    out!”


    After hanging up the phone, Jean didn’t leave. Instead, he stayed at thepany to handle the


    company affairs.


    In the afternoon,n suddenly strode in.


    “Mr. Beauvort, something’s happened. There’s a bit of a situation at Jones Group.”


    Jean put down his coffee cup and looked up at his assistant. His eyes were dark and cold as he asked,


    “What’s going on?”


    “The tide of news has shifted somewhat. Half an hour ago, Jones Group released a statement


    asserting that the factories under its umbre were merely researching prohibited drugs. They imed


    they had not introduced them to the market. I’ve asked the police, and so far, they haven’t found any


    verifiable sales channels. As for those illegal drugs appearing on the market, there’s no evidence to


    prove they came from Jones Group.”


    At this point, his tone carried a hint of irritation.


    “In this way, Jones Group will be used of secretly researching dangerous drugs at most, but it won’t


    constitute a concrete crime. Moreover, if they handle it well by guiding public opinion, they might even


    be praised for contributing to medical research! It’s simply outrageous!”


    After hearing everything, Jean narrowed his eyes, his long fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on

    the table.


    Naturally, prohibited drugs couldn’t be sold through legitimate channels.


    The only way to make huge profits without leaving any evidence for the police to find would be through


    the ck market.


    Hence, the ck market was inevitably linked to this matter.


    When he arrived at that thought, the man’s eyes grew increasingly somber.


    A coldugh spilled from his lips. “They’re really asking for trouble!”


    Originally, he hadn’t nned on dealing with the ck market here so soon.


    But now, he had changed his mind.


    Since Essley’s ck market dared to get involved, there was no need for him to show mercy!


    Since Essley’s ck market dared to get involved, there was no need for him to show mercy!


    In fact, this was a perfect opportunity, as cleaning up everything in one shot would certainly save him


    some trouble.


    At that moment, he ordered with a stern face, “Send all the evidence collected by Nightshade to Prince


    Gale. Once he sees it, he’ll know what to do.”


    Ian knew that Jean was serious this time. Snapping to attention, he set off immediately to carry out the


    task.


    That evening, just as Jean was about to finish work, he received a request to meet from Gale.


    Apanying Gale was the Duke of Essley, William.


    Jean invited them in and specifically askedn to brew some tea.


    Gale waved his hand in refusal. “No need for such fuss. Our main purpose foring here this time is


    to talk with you about cleaning up the ck market base here.”


    Not at all surprised, Jean asked in a neutral tone, “Is there a problem?”


    Gale hesitated briefly before saying, “Indeed, there is! In truth, the authorities have been searching for


    ck market strongholds for years, but they haven’t had much sess. It was onlyst year that they


    identally stumbled upon one. At that time, the authorities dispatched an elite force. What they


    stumbled upon was all sorts of illicit trading, which included the sale of human organs and human


    trafficking. The authorities attempted to intervene, leading to a fierce sh between the two sides. The


    oue was that the elites sent suffered heavy casualties, with only a handful making it out alive. The


    people in the Essley ck market are not only heavily armed, but they also possess extraordinary


    skills. Among them are even Bartitsu experts!”


    Jean was somewhat surprised, as he didn’t expect such a situation.


    It seems that the ck market in Essley is more troublesome andplicated than I imagined. T


    Moreover, what surprised him the most was that even Bartitsu experts had gotten involved!


    Could it be that the ck market in Essley is also connected with Phison?
