Chapter 376 - Karma

Although confused, Lance forced a smile at Madam Victoria.

Chairman John sighed. Although it seems that Madam Kelly has already decided on it, he still has to make a background check on Lance. But Lance was confident. He came from a family of trusted lawyers. They have a good reputation within the circle. His grandfather was the adviser and lawyer of Elder Do. His father is the adviser and lawyer of President Martin and continuing the line, he is now the adviser and lawyer of Jenny Do. Aside from that, Lance is also known in the business circle. He doesn't just acquire assets for J, he also acquires some for himself.

All this time, Lily is not aware of the efforts that Lance is putting through before he could start pursuing her. All she believes is that Lance doesn't care at least a bit about her. Hopefully, Lance is not too late.

...

The following days, Arthur's Team were busy gathering information for the upcoming auction where Galaxy a.k.a Massive J will be auctioned. While Lily who has been staying at Mt. Celandine again received two bouquets of flowers for two consecutive days with a note only with a letter L. During these days, Lance has never visited the filming set making Lily more frustrated.

Meanwhile, Jacob is still busy with Novus Rex. This time his focus is not messing with Novus Rex's darknet and selling of personal information. He managed to find one of the organization's gunsmithing warehouse. Aside from smuggling weapons from other countries and selling it on the black market, the organization is also gunsmithing to satisfy the requests of their clients in case they cannot smuggle weapon or the black market is lacking supplies due to bulk orders.

Jacob anonymously reported it to the police and the police afterward raided the warehouse and find weapons that were being repaired and modified. They even find customized weapons and weapons that were banned in modern warfare such as blinding laser weapons, poisoned bullets and cluster bombs.

Jack Ogden was outraged and was certain that it was Jacob who is causing disarray in his business. He was not affected when Jacob messed up with their darknet, after all, they only lost a small amount of money. But he is now stirring up trouble with their weaponry business. Illegal smuggling of weapons and prescription drugs were their main and best seller product in the black market. It was considered as their bread and butter.

….

In the nurse's station of the Department of Surgery, J is reading not a book but news on her phone. Diana accidentally saw what she is reading and asked in a low voice. "Is that about Novus Rex?"

J's reply was a simple nod.

Diana took a chair and sat close beside her and peeked at her phone. "Is this Dr. Jacob's doing?"

J shrugged her shoulders.

"Your husband sure is ruthless." Though she is not receiving a proper response from J, she didn't mind. She is used to that. She leaned back and crossed her arms in front of her chest. Diana knew that J is worried about Jacob, after all, he is dealing with the number one and most notorious organized crime group in the country.

"Don't worry too much about him. You husband is too capable. And besides, he's got the Twelve Army and the Robin Hood Society backing him up. It was the Novus Rex's fault for threatening you. They are too greedy with wealth and power. Now they are suffering. This is called karma. They will soon receive their downfall."
