As Sharon listened, his brow furrowed. "So, you never actually saw the people you were trading with?"
Skylar nodded helplessly. "Yes."
"Even the account they used for payment was heavily encrypted, making it untraceable."
Perhaps Skylar had foreseen a day like this and intended to have a secret ace up her sleeve. However, she hadn't anticipated that the other party would be so well-prepared, leaving her with no room to maneuver.
Joe thought for a moment and said, "I want to meet the person in charge of this place."
Hearing this, Skylar frowned. "How is that possible? I've been here so many times, but I've never heard of anyone who has seen the boss here."
"Is that so?" Joe sneered, suddenly grabbing a fire extinguisher and smashing it into the crystal chandelier.
With a loud crash, crystal beads from the chandelier fell to the ground, creating a huge commotion that caught people's attention at the entrance.
A group of bodyguards seemed to appear out of nowhere, brandishing their weapons and aiming them at Joe.
Joe, however, remained calm and threw a black suitcase onto the ground, scattering a considerable amount of dollars. This left everyone in shock.
"Accidentally damaged your property; this is compensation," he casually stated. "The extra is for your boss to enjoy a cup of tea. How about that?"
While these bodyguards had encountered various types of people, none had seen anyone quite like Joe.
After exchanging bewildered glances, one of them used a walkie-talkie to communicate for a few moments. Surprisingly, they eventually nodded and reluctantly agreed to Joe's request.
Skylar watched in astonishment.
She had never seen anyone so audacious as to demand a meeting with the boss here. However, upon reflection, she realized that no one else could casually toss around so much currency to intimidate these bodyguards.
