The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family
Chapter 3998

This short sentence shocked Claudia completely.

She subconsciously covered the scar on her face and blurted out, "You... How could you tell?!"

material."

Charlie said indifferently, "Although your scar looks very realistic, it is only a visual effect. If it was a real scar, it would still be a part of your body tissue. In other words, a real scar would look alive, and no matter how realistic a fake scar might seem, it is just an external Claudia could not understand Charlie's explanation.

She could understand that the scar was fake, but she could not understand how Charlie could see that.

To Charlie, his perception ability based on Reiki was far beyond that of vision itself.

Charlie had already realized that Claudia's scar was completely devoid of any semblance of life from the very first time he had seen her.

It was just like how an artificial flower could never have the vitality of a real flower itself no matter how realistic it looked.

Charlie could already judge that the scar on her face was fake from this point alone.

It was also at that moment that he concluded that there was something wrong with Claudia.

It was just that he could not figure out Claudia's intention for calling him to come all the way over to Canada.

So, he asked, "Claudia, I hope that you can tell me honestly and openly what kind of danger Stephanie is in?"

Claudia hesitated for a moment and spoke up, "Stephanie is now being targeted by the Italian crime syndicate in Vancouver. If you don't take her away from Canada, Gopher and the others will make a move on Stephanie soon."

Charlie frowned and asked, "Stephanie is a n Oskian girl who is running a convenience store. She does not have much of a background or property. So, why would the crime syndicate target her? Is it because they want to kidnap her for ransom?" "No..." Claudia said incomparably seriously, "They are far eviler than kidnapping for ransom...

As Claudia spoke of this, she added, "In the gray areas of Europe and the United States, the most lucrative industries are drugs and women, and the especially profitable industry is women. This is because women are zero-cost gold mines in the underground world."

"They would kidnap beautiful young women and smuggle them out of the country to be sold in Europe or the United States. Those innocent women with good looks would usually be selected and packaged to be sent to be auctioned in the underground world. The transaction price might even exceed one million US dollars o r more."

"As for those women with ordinary

looks or are no longer qualified to be auctioned, they would then be sold

to the Algerian gangs operating in Europe. They would generally only end up with one fate, and that would be to continue engaging in dirty sexual trades under coercion. They would be a money-making tool for their lifetime, and they would be

killed and discarded after losing their value..."

"The Italian mafia group originally engaged in these wicked things at first. Later, my father took charge, and he put a halt to these kinds of things at my mother's suggestion..."

"However, over the recent years, the

Italian mafia group in Vancouver has

not been doing very well. Asian

forces have begun rising quickly in. Canada. The Oskian, V

and Korean mafia groups have continued expanding, and the Americans have begun paying more and more attention to this place. The Italian mafia group's territory has also been shrinking, so all of their income has been greatly reduced...

"Gopher has always suggested for my father to collaborate with several major groups in Europe and the

United States to engage in the human trafficking business. They

plan to kidnap girls from Canada et

especially tourists, new immigrants, or stowaways, and then smuggle them out of the country to be distributed by those big European and American groups with almost no cost at all. At least hundreds of millions of dollars could then be earned, but my father had never agreed to this. It's also because of this that my father had some grievances with them."

"After my father was killed, they restarted the business. Recently, there have often been cases of young women going missing in Vancouver and its surrounding areas. In just two months, there have been more than twenty such cases, but since more than half of them are stowaways, the Vancouver police have chosen to turn a blind eye to it."

When Charlie heard this, he was so furious that his veins were already protruding.
