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 nces.
“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 time, 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 wasid bare in Joe’s watchful eyes.
“Keep this man here; I’m going to take him to question the ck market boss in person.” Joe quickly
made a decision.
Sharon nodded and quickly had theborers 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 amotion, news of the gold mine on the ind would surely spread. They
needed to extract the gold before anyone with malicious intent took advantage of the situation.

However, these were concerns forter.
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 byw 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 herpetitors, 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 ind 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 peopleing
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 imed 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 theirpanion, seeming hesitant to
speak.
