Xavien furrowed his brow as he responded, "I've been investigating, but it seems that the money is being paid to the streamers from regular accounts. Additionally, these streamers are playing games with those on the leaderboard, who have also spent millions in the game."
Certain individuals had discretionary income and chose to invest it in games to enhance their in-game capabilities. This represented their unique approach to gaming.
Sean narrowed his eyes, leaning back in his car seat. He picked up his work tablet, gathered some financial reports from various websites, and handed them to Xavien.
"Except for the website Ms. Quinn signed with, all other websites of this kind are losing money." After Xavien finished reading, he was greatly astonished by the results.
"What does this tell us? It tells us that running such websites is not profitable. Even websites invested in by large corporations went bankrupt last year. So why is this one so successful?" Sean always had a feeling that something was amiss with this financial report. He couldn't afford to have any issues with his business ventures, as it would also have personal implications for him.
Furthermore, Abigail was also signed with this website. If there were any major problems in the future, Abigail would be affected as well.
"I'll investigate it thoroughly!" Xavien declared.
"Do you need guidance in your investigation?" Sean asked coldly, looking at him.
Xavien licked his lips and replied, "This is my first time dealing with this kind of business. I really don't know where to start."
After all, online tipping was not his area of expertise. If there were issues with a solid business, he could spot them immediately. However, besides the discrepancy in cash flow compared to other websites, he couldn't find any problems within his investigative scope. This left Xavien feeling like there was nothing else to investigate.
"Consult someone who specializes in the internet. Don't waste your time trying to figure it out on your own," Sean directed him.
It was normal for Xavien to not find anything. This was their first time dealing with internet-related matters. If it weren't for Sean's unusually keen sense of abnormal cash flow, they wouldn't have discovered the issue with the website they had invested in.
Back at the Pearson Residence, Sean saw Abigail sitting in the living room watching TV. He had a ton of questions he wanted to ask her. However, in the end, he held back.
He was well aware that Abigail would tell him when she was ready.
Sean sat down next to Abigail, glancing at the TV. "Are you sure you can return this afternoon?"
"Yes, I can." Abigail nodded immediately. Then, she asked as she looked at Sean's hand, "You said you were going to buy my favorite coffee. Where is it?"
"Why do you need coffee after finishing all your tasks? Now that you're back, maintain a good routine and drink less coffee," Sean said seriously, pinching her hand.
Abigail purposely looked at him unhappily and replied, "But I want to drink something."
