The Fake Heiress Turns Out to Be a True Tycoon!-Chapter 1156: The Dark Web

"In the past two years, there’s been ongoing warfare over in the Westerly region. I’ve heard from people that every time there’s a war, organ traffickers become active."

Because of war, not only do people die, but more people become displaced.

These people often become targets for organ traffickers.

Where there is war, there is illegal human organ trafficking.

And the legalization of organ trafficking is the greatest support for these war profiteers.

Originally, such matters were far removed from ordinary folks like them, but with the frequent wars in the Otherworld in recent years, Scarlett Jennings naturally paid more attention.

"They say the Heavenly Dao favors the Humankind Clan, and the Otherworld Heavens would rather eradicate all Phantom Spirits that can absorb Spiritual Energy than preserve humankind. It shows Its favoritism towards humans. But why would It allow constant warfare and even the emergence of human-animal hybrids?"

Scarlett Jennings didn’t mind Amber Livingston being present and just voiced her own speculations.

Everyone present, except for Amber Livingston, was familiar with the situation. Upon hearing her link organ trafficking to the Otherworld Heavens, Stella Gibson was the first to speculate,

"You think these abnormalities all originate from Shu’e?"

Magnolia Hearne, who had borne the Power of Heavenly Path for eighteen years, thought more deeply than Stella Gibson,

"Shu’e’s malicious intent can certainly influence many, but for such international chaos without the help of Ferocious Beasts, only the Heavenly Dao could manage this."

She said,

"It’s likely these events were orchestrated after Shu’e merged with the Otherworld Heavens."

After Magnolia Hearne finished speaking, she looked directly at Five-Colored.

Among everyone present, if anyone understood Shu’e best, it would probably be Five-Colored.

Amber Livingston saw that the ancient-looking porcelain doll he thought was just an ornament opened its mouth and spoke.

"This does indeed look like Shu’e’s handiwork."

Amber Livingston: ...

Stay calm, stay calm.

These are Jasmine’s friends, so even if they’re not human, it’s not a big deal.

He remained calm.

Nobody noticed Amber Livingston’s slightly trembling hand on his leg as the group continued discussing the rampant nature of these human organ trafficking cases.

Assuming such a situation went against the will of the Otherworld Heavens, it could potentially be their entry point to separate the Heavenly Dao from Shu’e.

However, understanding this from merely a screenshot wasn’t enough.

"Is there a way? For us to directly enter that livestream room?"

Magnolia Hearne asked Amber Livingston.

Amber Livingston snapped back from his forced calmness, seeing everyone staring at him, he swallowed and spoke truthfully,

"That’s a live stream on the dark web. Ordinary people can’t even touch the entrance to the international dark web, let alone enter a live stream room."

After he finished, fearing disappointment from the non-humans before him, he racked his brains,

"Perhaps I can think of a way to find some top hackers to help, but they’re generally hard to find, so I might need some time..."

But the truth is, Scarlett Jennings and her company didn’t have much time to wait.

Not to mention, Ashton Todd is currently in the hands of the Heavenly Dao.

Although they were sure the Heavenly Dao wanted to use Ashton Todd to fully connect the two worlds and wouldn’t act rashly against him,

the Heavenly Dao, merged with Shu’e, couldn’t be totally relied upon.

Coincidentally, their strongest connection in the Otherworld was Jasmine Hamilton.

Finding someone who knows and can enter the dark web was indeed challenging...

As Scarlett Jennings pondered, her gaze unknowingly fell on Shellback lying nearby, and a flash of insight struck her mind as she suddenly thought of someone.

"He might be able to help us..."

Scarlett Jennings said, her almond eyes slightly mysterious, looking at Magnolia Hearne.

Magnolia Hearne: ???

...

In another luxury villa not far from them.

Luca Jennings was explaining to his family about staying outside for a while.

Despite his age, he’d never truly had feelings for anyone, nor pursued anyone. Truthfully, although he’d decided to stay here, he wasn’t sure how to pursue someone.

After all, he’s no longer a passionate young man.

Knowing Luca Jennings was staying outside temporarily, naturally, no one in the Jennings Family said anything.

After all, Luca Jennings is the current Family Head, and besides Old Sir Jiang, there’s no one who can control him.

Even Old Sir Jiang had no solution for his eldest, who remained unmarried for years.

Now that his eldest finally had a "thought," Old Sir Jiang certainly didn’t stop him, even going as far as to tell Luca Jennings,

"As long as you’re willing to marry, you don’t even have to live at home after marriage."

Luca Jennings said nothing to this.

Because he himself couldn’t be sure if Magnolia Hearne would agree to his proposal.

Just as he was pondering, the doorbell rang.

Luca Jennings emerged and was slightly surprised to see who was at the video doorbell.

It was her.

He had thought that after saying those words to her abruptly, she would take some time to respond.

Unexpectedly, not long after they parted, she’d come to his door on her own.

Luca Jennings, uncharacteristically, momentarily lost his composure, quickly walking to the door.

Before stepping out, he stopped to inspect his attire carefully, ensured it was appropriate, then slowed his pace and welcomed her inside personally.

Of course, it wasn’t just Magnolia Hearne who came, Scarlett Jennings was there too.

She suddenly remembered when she accidentally discovered Azura Loomis colluding with Ava Zimmerman, the system was still operational, and Old Sir Jiang had urgently ordered it all settled, getting Donovan Jennings to issue a bounty on the dark web.

If Donovan Jennings could touch these dark web matters then, it seemed logical that Luca Jennings, as the Jennings Family Head now, might have some way to help them enter the dark web.

Of course, the prerequisite was that Magnolia Hearne would first have to clear up the previous matter.

It wouldn’t be right to ask for help and then flatly reject the other party.

So when Magnolia Hearne entered, she didn’t first state her request but responded to the previous question Luca Jennings had asked her to consider.

"I deeply appreciate what you said to me before, but I must decline."

Though Magnolia Hearne didn’t want to hurt the person before her, she also disliked being indecisive,

"My daughter and I are doing well, and we likely don’t need any care. More importantly... I love my husband, although you and he are similar in many ways, even identical, in my eyes, you both are still two different people."

Though Luca Jennings had guessed what her answer might be, hearing it from her mouth brought a strange and indescribable sense of loss.

He’s rarely experienced rejection in his life.

Moreover, the person before him was the one who first appeared before him.

But if to say there was unwillingness, there was some, but not much.

Rather than unwillingness, he felt some envy for her deceased husband, and even a slight tinge of jealousy.

As these emotions swept over him, even Luca Jennings found it incredible.

After all, at his age, such fleeting, trivial emotions were quickly suppressed by him as they arose.

Pushing these aside, Luca Jennings looked anew at the person before him.

"I understand."

His expression remained serious, but his tone was calm. He paused, then said,

"You rushed to reply not just to give me an answer, but because you have another reason, right?"

He said this and paused, asking her,

"Is there something you need my help with?"
