Chapter 746 Behind the Wooden Door
On the other end, Joe and Sharon hurriedly brought the woman to the
designated rendezvous point.
The womanâs name was Skylar. She knew that she could only save her life if
she behaved herself, so she was very cooperative along the way.
They flew to a small bordering country not far from Albania. This place was
notorious for being an unregulated territory, as it attracted various shady
dealings due to its mixed population, making it the preferred location for these
gray transactions.
Skylar led them to a run-down motel, and Joe and Sharon exchanged skeptical
glances.
Understanding their lack of trust, Skylar explained, âThis is our transit point. To
reach the delivery point, we must be guided there by the motelâs owner.â
Joe glanced at Sharon and, seeing him nod, signaled for the bodyguards to
enter the hotel with him.
For this trip, Joe had deliberately hired four mercenaries as bodyguards, each exuding an extraordinary aura.
As they entered the hotel, the innkeeper immediately noticed them and
cautiously placed his hand beneath the counter.
Seeing this, Skylar hurriedly stepped forward. âDonât take any action; itâs me!â
With Skylar, who had been standing behind them, appearing, the innkeeper
relaxed slightly but looked at Sharon and Joe with a meaningful gaze. âWhat are
they here for?â
Skylar had no choice but to explain, âBlackbeardâs job went south, and they
want to go inside to find someone.â
The innkeeper had heard some rumors about Solomonâs recent activities, so he
understood the situation after hearing Skylarâs words.
The boss smiled and took out his hand. âI heard that you made a lot of money
this timeâ¦â
Hearing the insinuation in his words, Skylar turned to look at Joe.
Joe took out a check from his pocket and casually added several zeros, which
delighted the innkeeper.
He was about to reach for it when Joe withdrew his hand.
The innkeeperâs expression immediately darkened. âYou playing with me?â
Joe smirked. âOnce weâre inside, the money will be yours.â
The innkeeper gave him a deep look but ultimately decided to trust Skylar. He
made a gesture to them.
The innkeeper led them through a maze of alleys and arrived at an old wooden
door.
He knocked three times rhythmically. The door creaked open, revealing a
disheveled elderly man who eyed them suspiciously.
The innkeeper rapidly spoke to the old man, who reluctantly opened the wooden
door and gestured for them to enter.
Behind that wooden door lay a completely different world.
Without the dirty and disorderly alleys, without the decrepit buildings, the interior
was splendidly decorated, with even the doorknobs made of pure gold.
Even someone as worldly as Sharon couldnât help but marvel, âIt seems like this business really makes money!â
Joe didnât have time to admire the decor. Instead, he looked coldly at Skylar.
âWhere exactly is this delivery point you mentioned?â
Skylar had to explain, âThis is the largest black market trading place in the entire
country. Apart from the well-known auctions, they also have private trading venues.â
âBuyers and sellers pre-book trading rooms according to each otherâs needs
and place the goods inside. When the deal is confirmed, the money is
transferred to the sellerâs account.â
âAt that time, we placed Miss Charlotte in Room 008. After verification by the
exchange, they transferred the money to our account.â
