Chapter 1564
Sophie shook her head, saying, "I don't want to drag them into this mess. The Silent Shadows have their eyes on
Odie. If it weren't for the safety of Aldridge Estate, they would have countless ways to whisk Odie away. Jenna
and Adler are too restless to stay cooped up at the estate. The best plan is to keep our distance for now. Once
things calm down, I'll explain everything to them."
Just then, Sophie noticed Harold staring intently at his computer screen, looking quite serious.
"What's going on? Did you find something already?"
Harold replied, "Not exactly a lead, but this website looks a lot like something | paused..."
He hesitated, then corrected himself, "It remindsof an investigation | put on the back burner."

Harold explained, "I've been digging into a dark web site involved in black market trading. It used to be strictly
overseas, but now it's spread to Devonport. Check it out, the website's prefix, 'guangming’, is the sas those
black market sites."
Seeing the dark web trading site, Sophie almost laughed at Harold's frustration, "It's so obvious, and you're just
now realizing it's from The Silent Shadows?"
"Knowing that early doesn't help if we can't figure out the site's full reach or who created it, let alone pinpoint
their headquarters. It's all just talk." Harold continued, "Now you see why | shelved this investigation?"
"Yeah, | get it. It's tough to trace back to the source. It's like we've tried so hard but still can't flush out The Silent
Shadows' leader."
As they talked, Sophie browsed through the webpage.
It listed all kinds of illegal items for sale, from banned medical supplies and drugs to human organs and blood
banks.
There were even live human listings.
A search bar was on the page, right next to a category index.

"Yeah."
Seeing Harold admit this, Sophie raised an eyebrow and asked, "You hit a wall at this step, didn't you?"
Though Harold was hesitant to admit it, that's exactly what happened.

Members of The Silent Shadows never willingly revealed their information. Plus, with Devonport under the rule of
the four major families lately, finding a member The Silent Shadows to create an account there was nearly
impossible.
