Most people in the black market would only suffer loss. Even if they were rich enough to buy something
here, what they bought might be taken back in some way or other in the end.
This was the black market, an unknown but nefarious place. Although this place was underground, if
you could carve out a place for yourself here, you would gain not only wealth but also reputation.
However, most people were rich before they started their business here. The black market was not like
the place where the gang was prevalent, but a place where people would choose to stay small.
Everything that beyond your imagination would happen here.
"Boss, we got the news that Jacob has been here recently, and he has done a big deal a few days
ago."
The men in black cautiously half bowed beside Thompson. Were people unequal at birth? Maybe not.
However, everyone had different life. Some people could be superior, while others could only be
inferior.
This made people doubt if life was really equal to everyone. But everyone had accepted their fate when
they were born, so there would be so many competitions in this society.
"What deal? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Thompson frowned. What does it mean? Would Jacob
also want to venture into business in the black market?
Although Thompson was not afraid his opponent, he was still a little worried when he thought of his
stupid teammate.
"I don't know the details. Jacob bid for a jade at a sky-high price at an auction."
The man in black bent down again and was a little worried about what Thompson would do next.
"What? He took away the jade I want?" Thompson's face darkened.
"Yes, I'm sorry, boss. I couldn't stop him." The man in black blushed. His professional ethics didn't allow
him to look panic, but in fact, he was not that calm like he looked in his heart.
"Forget it. It's not your fault. Why did he want that jade? " Thompson squinted his eyes. He had
planned to show the jade in his jewelry shop.
But how did Jacob know about that jade? Thompson was a little angry, and all the anger he had held
back in the day emerged again.
"I... I don't know. I've sent someone to look into it. But it's his first time to trade in the black market, so
few people know his background. "
The man in black stood straight and was no longer as timid and overcautious as before.
"What a bastard!" Thompson smashed the tea cup to pieces. The man in black kept a straight face and
didn't any anything about it.
The fact was that the boss could do whatever he liked, and the subordinate like him could not stop his
boss no matter what happened.
"All right. Go and get me Vernon. I want to see him." Thompson reached out to rub his temple, and the
emerald ring on his finger was slightly shining.
But Thompson was in no mood to appreciate the ring in his hand. He was very irritable now like a
gunpowder can be ignited at any time.
"Got it." The man in black walked out quickly. Years of experience told him that nothing would be
serious even if the boss was angry.
Thompson was nice to him, by the way. Thompson always know how to win over people's heart, so the
men in black had always been loyal to him.
And this man, Vernon, was the one who took care of Thompson's business in the black market.
Usually, Thompson had to take care of the jewelry store, so he didn't go to the black market very often.
That's why he sent Vernon to take care of his business here. In this way, they could work together
perfectly. What's more, Vernon was not a good guy, but he was full of wicked ideas.
Although he was loyal to Thompson, Thompson couldn't rest assured about him. After all, sometimes
you can't even believe yourself.
Soon, Vernon came. Every time Thompson came to the black market, Vernon would get quite busy.
"Boss, you want to see me?" Vernon knocked on the door.
"Come in." Thompson lowered his head and didn't look at Vernon.
"What's wrong, boss? You seem to be in a bad mood." Vernon rolled his eyes and thought about what
had happened recently. "Is it because of that jade?"
Thompson raised his eyes to look at Vernon. Sure enough, Vernon knew him best. He could guess
what Thompson was thinking even Thompson hadn't said anything yet. Therefore, Thompson had a
better impression of Vernon and his anger was faded away.
"Yes, there are something I want to know, but most of them are related to him. I think it's time to make
an end. Since I chose to declare a war to him, I've already made up my mind. "
With his hands crossed his chest, Thompson said in a cold tone. Hearing this, the cold sweat broke out
on Vernon's forehead.
Declared a war? Thompson used such a frightening and exaggerating word to describe his competition
with others in the modern society.
Vernon always thought that Thompson was an independent and special man, so he chose to work for
him all the time. Maybe he could have a higher salary and a better treatment if he chose to work for
others, but many things in this world could not just be solved by a better treatment.
After casting a glance at Thompson, Vernon sat down next to him. Vernon felt comfortable when he
could meet Thompson was as natural as meeting an old friend.
"Boss, I think there might be a scheme behind Jacob's action. Since he is up to something, he will not
let anyone know about it." Vernon put his legs on the tea table and looked relaxing.
"Yes, that's why I feel something's wrong. And how did Jacob know the black market? Last time, he
almost destroyed my business. This time, I have to be more careful to deal with him. "
Thompson said coldly and recalled what happened last time. He had to stay low for such a long time all
because of Jacob.
Jacob almost exposed his secret business last time. Of course, his secret business was illegal.
Because of that, Thompson had to check every step.
It took him a lot of time, but Thompson finally found the hole. That was, someone had leaked the secret
who also had known the relationship between "Generalist" and Jacob.
But Thompson had no choice because he could do nothing about it. He had to pay more attention to
the crisis.
Fortunately, God helped Thompson. Now since James and "Generalist" were gone, leaving Jacob high
and dry. That was why Thompson wanted to join hands with others to give Jacob a big blow.
However, Jacob's performance was shocking. No matter what happened, Jacob could always make a
comeback easily.
It was tired to have an opponent like Jacob, but even so, Thompson enjoyed the process to fight with
Jacob.
In this game, he had to think about the next step over and over again. Therefore, Thompson had
gained something from it. At least, if Thompson met such an opponent again in the future, he could
deal with him much better than now.
But there was no such chance anymore. Jacob alone could make Thompson feel exhausted. If
Thompson met another opponent like Jacob, would he still have strength to fight back?
