Human trafficking, organ deals, drugs, phone scams… Those crooks had their hands in everything dirty!
And the amount of cash and people tied up in it? Totally insane.

Jarrett and the others had seen some crazy stuff on the dark web before, but this was on a next level.
“Got beef? Then take it out on them. Show the world what Comet Squad can do!
“You’ve been back home for the holidays so long. Hope you didn’t lose your edge.”
“No way, Queen. Just give the word!”
At the same time, the five Bluewing members noticed the central system’s newest update.
Comet Squad had accepted the mission.
They started to get a little suspicious.
“This target has been underground forever. Their servers are hard as hell to break, and it’s super risky to get exposed. Is Mr. Benedict seriously okay letting the newbies handle this big mission?”
If the mission failed, the enemy would move all their data in minutes. Tracking down the new server could take forever.
On top of that, Comet Squad was brand new and still learning how Bluewing worked.
Even the top talents who’d been here two years wouldn’t touch that mission without the Lamb brothers guiding them.
“Wanna bet? Let’s see if this new team has got the chops.”
“Mr. Benedict and Mr. Wesley clearly trust them. Even if the work’s rough, maybe they’ll pull it
off.”
“So, what do you say? Wanna bet how long they’ll need?”
“Half a month, at least.”
“Half a month then!”
“What’s with all the chatter over here?”

Chapter 569 Wanna Bet?
40
Benedict’s voice cut in out of nowhere.
Everyone froze. “M–Mr. Benedict?”
“I heard talk about betting. Sounds entertaining. Wanna loop me in?”
“Uh…”
They all looked at each other nervously, like kids caught sneaking candy.
They might doubt Comet Squad, but they didn’t dare disrespect Benedict.
“I know you don’t believe them. But I handpicked that squad. Gimme a little faith, yeah?”
“Mr. Benedict, we didn’t doubt your judgment. It’s just that this mission is insane. We were just saying maybe Comet Squad would need half a month-”
“I’ll bet they wrap it up today. Whoever wins takes a month’s pay from the others. If I lose, I’ll hand over mine. Deal?”
