A Beauty With Multiple Masks Chapter 398

“A shipping company?” Arielle asked suspiciously, “The legal owner of that company is behind all this?”

Harvey shook his head and continued, “No, he’s an average businessman. Something doesn’t add up, though. It’s kind of odd for the legal owner of such a big company to be your average Joe. Anyway, once we’ve properly identified the guy, we can continue our investigations.”

“All right.” Arielle muttered to herself thoughtfully, “A shipping company.”

Shipping companies typically did not come across as glamorous as real estate, luxury goods, or technology giants, but it would be ill-advised to underestimate their profitability. It was also easy for shipping companies to smuggle other items with legitimate cargo.

They were privy to all sorts of intel thanks to their access to ports across the globe.

They couldn’t have picked a better front for their operations.

Arielle said coldly, “By the way, Chanaea strictly forbids the private sales of guns and explosives. But look at me; I’ve encountered two explosions already! They must’ve been able to smuggle those things into Chanaea under the guise of shipping cargo.”

Her guess seemed to remind Harvey of something. He clapped his hands once and said, “I can pull some strings with my friends at customs and get my hands on

that company’s cargo log.”

Arielle voiced her agreement but advised him to act cautiously. “Remember to stay under the radar; we don’t want to lose this lead. We’re dealing with some very cunning enemies.”

Harvey nodded a few times for good measure. “I know. I’ll get in touch with them and discuss our next steps. I would’ve called them while I was abroad, but I was worried that they might’ve bugged our phones.”

His caution impressed Arielle. “You’re right. They have some pretty skilled hackers, and we shouldn’t drop our guard.”

Soon enough, the four of them arrived at the university’s cafeteria.

“You brought us to the cafeteria?” Several moments passed before Harvey realized where they were.

“Uh-huh. Do you mind? I’m kind of strapped for cash these days, so this is all I can afford.”

“Of course not! Why would I mind?” Harvey added hastily, “Just let me know if you’re short on cash. What’s your account number, and how much do you need?”
