Chapter 2580

At the West District of the Southern Territory, a few names flashed through Nash's mind-Shealor, Voodoo Parasite King, the Southern Martial Alliance...

"The West District of the Southern Territory, huh..." He did know a few people from the Southern Territory, but this time, he planned to go alone.

Ever since the fall of the Voodoo Parasite King, the West District of the Southern Territory seemed to have found some semblance of peace.

Goldspin Commerce was originally a small overseas business association. For some unknown reason, however, it suddenly rose to prominence.

"A sudden rise?" Nash asked Theo.

Theo pulled out some documents and explained, "Yes, they experienced a sudden and rapid growth-the kind that's almost insane. Their commerce group practically replaced Dominion Commerce, which belonged to the Florentine family."

"I remember," Nash said. "Clint once mentioned that Dominion Commerce was absorbed by them, right?"

"That's correct. Nowadays, Dominion Commerce is in the hands of the Meltons. But truth be told, the Meltons don't really care much about Dominion Commerce. As a result, Dominion Commerce is now pretty much a shell of what they used to be. They don't really exist in any meaningful form anymore."

"And the people from the commerce group?"

"Mr. Reggie Melton has mostly called them over to his own company. The commerce group is still running, and because of the Meltons' interference, their financial chain has actually become more stable.

"However, as mentioned earlier, they've essentially been reduced to a subsidiary of the Meltons. They have no real influence left."

"So, all the industries that originally belonged to Dominion Commerce were just handed over to Goldspin Commerce?"

"Well, you can't really blame Mr. Melton for that. The way I see it, the business that the Meltons handle isn't suitable for the commerce group's model. So, Mr. Melton probably made that decision to maintain stability. He ended up outsourcing most of their industries."

"Outsourcing?"

"Yes, they essentially divided Dominion Commerce's main industries into smaller branches and then outsourced these businesses to companies willing to take them on. That's how commercial outsourcing works.

"Goldspin Commerce took over the most profitable part of Dominion Commerce's overseas import sector."

At this moment, Nash raised a question. "But why would Reggie just hand over such a profitable industry like that?"

"Nash, it's understandable if you don't quite get it," Theo replied. "The Meltons aren't really a commercial group, so they don't have much experience running a commerce group. But someone still needs to manage those affairs.

"So, Mr. Melton came up with the most stable approach. Since they couldn't handle it themselves, they handed it over to those who could. Meanwhile, Mr. Melton secured himself a position as a major shareholder."

Theo pulled out a corporate structure chart of Goldspin Commerce.

"Look here, Nash. The Meltons hold the largest share at 30%. With that, they can sit back and let others manage the commerce group. If the commerce group does well, they profit. If it doesn't, they lose nothing. That's where Mr. Melton's brilliance lies."

"I see," Nash said thoughtfully.

"By the way, Nash, what exactly are we doing going to Goldspin Commerce?" Theo asked, still puzzled.

Nash did not hide his thoughts. "I have a feeling Goldspin Commerce is headed for trouble."

"But so what, Nash? Why does that matter to us?" Theo could not grasp the reason, especially since they had no direct connection to Goldspin Commerce, aside from Reggie's indirect link.

There were no significant interests between their group and businesses like the Lewis family.

Nash gazed out the window, lost in thought. "Who knows? I just feel like helping them out for some reason. Maybe it's just that I can't help but meddle in these things."

It was true. Nash had no real reason to come here. His actions in Shealor had made him a well-known figure in the area, and because of that, he had avoided returning.

Yet something was pulling him in this direction-his inner demons, or perhaps something like them. It felt as though the voice in his heart was guiding him.

Hence, here he was. A part of him wanted to help, but a larger part wanted to confront what was inside him.

Inside Goldspin Commerce's executive conference room at the West District of the Southern Territory, the leaders sat in silence. They stared helplessly at the token and the Infinite Bug Battle Diagram in front of them.
