Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Chapter 1243

In the sprawling maze of the Dark Web, covering almost every corner of the developed world, thousands of deals are struck daily. Running such a colossal network isn't something a small-time player like Conrad could handle solo.

He was just overseeing a minor outpost, and Maja knew there were far bigger players pulling the strings behind him. Greg, the protégé, was probably set to lead the next outpost. But that plan was toast.

Maja chuckled coldly, her eyes on her nails, "Oh, he will."

"Thank goodness, Mr. Conrad is back!" a crowd erupted in cheers.
