My Wife is Actually a top-tier Soldier King?!
Chapter 650 - 650 650 Dark World!

650: Chapter 650: Dark World!

Vast data, like an ocean.

Categories so numerous, they’re almost innumerable.

Quietly infiltrating the central server, Wu Jie felt as if he had entered a super massive library.

There, a plethora of information was categorized and stored, overwhelming Wu Jie to the point where he didn’t know where to start looking.

The feeling was akin to a foodie suddenly arriving at a gastronomic temple.

With all sorts of delicacies dazzling before him, what to eat first?

After pondering for two seconds, Wu Jie decided to focus on the task at hand.

His primary mission in Zanan City was to retrieve the thirty million Gold Coins gambling stake on behalf of his wife, the beautiful CEO Tang Xiao.

So…

Wu Jie immediately began to trace the path of the betting orders.

He considered the data transmitted back from the Zanan City office: Where it was sent for processing, and what the results of that processing were.

As the invincible King of the cyber world, Wu Jie of course located it quickly.

It’s undeniable that the World Cup, held every four years, indeed drives fans (and gamblers) crazy.

Wu Jie noticed that there were six locations around the globe transmitting massive amounts of data simultaneously with the central server.

This not only proved that the organization had six global operation centers.

From the betting data, it was clear just how massive the bets were.

The office Wu Jie was at was responsible for the entire Yi Continent’s business.

A casual glance at any betting order showed stakes of several hundred thousand.

He looked at several in a row, and there weren’t any for just a few tens of thousands.

Of course, the amounts varied, and some figures were particularly frightening.

Betting 337 million Gold Coins was equivalent to only about 100,000 of the large currency notes.

Moreover, the betting orders were incredibly simple.

Client information consisted only of their phone number, bank account, and betting details.

To facilitate transfers from international clients, the organization not only had accounts with banks like Wenhe and Citibank.

They had a multitude of bank accounts in various countries; as long as customers wanted to transfer money, they had plenty of accounts to receive it.

Once betting orders were uploaded to the central server, a dedicated system would process them based on the results of the matches.

The new orders taken today were all for bets on tonight’s and future matches, encompassing all sorts of betting methods.

Single match outcomes, accumulators, total scores, total goals, and so on.

As for games like last night’s that were already over, they now belonged to the history of bets and had been dealt with.

Wu Jie spent a good while searching through the vast historical data and couldn’t find Tang Xiao’s betting order.

He went to check the server management system logs.

There he discovered that at 3:50 a.m., the betting order for thirty million Gold Coins had already been deleted.

Calculating the time…

It was roughly when the Sweet Team unexpectedly lost to Wenhe Bank, right after the match ended, that it was deleted.

After all, the shocking draw meant that Tang Xiao had hit two upsets in a row, and they would have to pay out twenty-four billion Gold Coins!

Being liable for such a large sum, they were naturally reluctant.

So, Tang Xiao’s betting order was directly deleted by someone in the organization’s headquarters with a high level of authority.

To avoid paying, not only was Tang Xiao’s mobile number listed in the communication blacklist,

But even the entire Tianyuan region’s mobiles and landlines were restricted.

Their aim was clearly to prevent Tang Xiao from contacting them.

Of course.

Unlucky for more than just Tang Xiao.

With a population of over three billion on Yi Continent, there were surely other wealthy and daring gamblers besides Tang Xiao.

Upon closer examination.

There were several others whose betting orders had been deleted, just like Tang Xiao’s.

Some of them were even more severe, with higher stakes.

A bet of fifty million Gold Coins would mean a payout of forty billion Gold Coins, wouldn’t it?

Then there was one particularly strange bet, wagering on the total number of goals and covering three different games.

Whether it was a gambling god’s possession or just insanely good luck.

This individual managed to guess correctly, and since betting on goals already had high odds,

The combined odds for three games reached as high as over two hundred times, leading to a near twenty billion Gold Coin payout.

…

As the saying goes.

In a vast forest, there’s all sorts of birds.

The organization taking in betting orders non-stop every day, catering to wealthy people bold enough to gamble on international outsiders, naturally had bigger guts than the average person.

With so many betting orders, it’s inevitable that quite a number would bet on the unexpected.

Though upsets were rare, in general, it was a business that was almost guaranteed to make a profit.

But who could have anticipated that last night would see two upsets consecutively.

As a result, the organization acting as the bookie naturally dared not pay out!

Tang Xiao and their large-value unusual bets, if honored, would amount to nearly twenty billion Gold Coins in compensation.

This clearly far exceeded their tolerance threshold, so it might be better to simply default on the payment.

After all, during the World Cup, betting was at its peak, with plenty of new clients; they wouldn’t miss a few old customers, and offending them wouldn’t matter.

Besides, their organization operated in the shadows.

Although they took money and did work, a scam organization was purely about swindling money.

But ultimately, both were deeply hidden and unseen by the public.

After being stiffed, trying to find a place to collect debts was impossible, and since betting was illegal, one wouldn’t dare to report being cheated.

However, there were always exceptions.

Even with layers of disguise and careful concealment,

Wu Jie still found this office, which was one of their business centers.

But he had to enter the tiger’s den and reach this office to invade their system through their proprietary communication method.

Otherwise…

If the other party didn’t even have a website, how could an invasion take place?

Now it was good.

Wu Jie found Tang Xiao’s bet slips, confirming that the organization had deliberately deleted them, intending to default on the payment.

Moreover,

The organization had also long been operating online casinos and the International Black Market.

Because there was an ongoing regulatory crackdown in China, there was constant attacking, suppression, and blocking.

Therefore, the online casino’s servers had temporarily stopped accepting IP visits from domestic users.

But access from other countries and regions could still continue playing.

Online top-up, various gambling methods were available, but the algorithms were already well in place.

Occasionally letting gamblers win a little money, gently guiding them, ultimately luring them into deep addiction and losing miserably.

As for the International Black Market, there was really anything you could buy or sell.

Just like a free trade market.

Buyers could post requests to purchase anything, even issue death bounties.

Sellers could open shops, regardless of the legality; as long as the product was profitable, it was openly sold.

There were Mercenary Corps opening shops, taking on various jobs.

And on this International Black Market Network, such businesses offered their services.

Wu Jie browsed for a while and found that items ranged from cancer drugs to multi-axis CNC machine tools.

Beyond that, over two million people mysteriously disappear globally every year…

Where did all the missing people go?

The answer goes without saying.

Anyway, capitalists, for the sake of profit, dared to do anything.

Art comes from life.

A movie called “Taken” is a true portrayal of human trafficking.

Women alone are the easiest targets for human traffickers.

Wu Jie once read a news story.

A somewhat famous female model, shopping alone, suddenly had someone clamp down on her neck from behind and cover her mouth and nose.

When she woke, her mouth had been sealed with a note, her hands and feet bound, curled up and stuffed into a tiny box.

After a long, bumpy journey, she was taken to a farm and held captive.

During her captivity, she wasn’t violated, but had pictures forcibly taken of her and put online, the criminals blatantly stating they would sell her for a high price.

Fortunately, she was lucky; two days later, the criminals were arrested by the police for using a stolen car and she was rescued in the process.

Otherwise, she would have been sold for three hundred thousand on the dark web.

And following the leads, the police cracked down on that dark web.

They found that many traffickers abducted women, and even with just three completed transactions, they had made over a million already.

While on that website, some had made tens of millions.

But…

The dark web persisted despite numerous bans, because there was always a market demand.

Tycoons needed beautiful women, assassins needed weapons, addicts needed drugs, and those harboring grudges wanted to buy murder…

Certain countries needed weapons, equipment, and industrial materials, multinational corporations needed business intelligence…

These market demands would never disappear.

So no matter how many were shut down, more would crop up.

It was an endless cycle, impossible to eradicate completely.

Just like the International Black Market Network that Wu Jie discovered, the power behind it was prepared to be shut down at any moment, with many backup websites ready.

Moreover, they operated a strict membership system, and ordinary people could not access such websites at all.

The site administrators must also have legitimate social media software to maintain backup contact with members.

Once a site was shut down, the new site’s address would be published using legitimate social media software, and it would certainly be in code.

If you weren’t in their circle, you would have no idea what they were talking about.

So.

This is a world that cannot bear the light of day, filled with interests and filth…
