Chapter 248 The Dark Web

“Mr. Goldstein, it’s me, Zachary,” Zachary greeted from the other end of the line.

“What is it?” Jonathan’s brows creased slightly.

Didn’t Zachary leave Jadeborough two days ago? Why is he calling me now?

“Mr. Goldstein, I received intel that someone offered one million in exchange for Ms. Smith’s life on the Dark Web,” came the answer.

“What?”

Jonathan’s gaze turned as dark as thunder at the mention of the Dark Web.

The Dark Web? I can’t believe someone placed a bounty on Josephine’s head!

Through the Dark Web, underground assassin organizations could communicate and conduct business anonymously without divulging identifying information, such as a user’s location. They would accept any business—including human trafficking and murder anyone—as long as the price was acceptable.

They would kill anyone as long as the client could afford to pay them.

Even if someone asked them to assassinate a country’s leader, they would do it if they were paid handsomely.

“Did you find out who posted the bounty?” Jonathan demanded icily.

“No,” Zachary answered in a low voice. “Mr. Goldstein, you know the Dark Web isn’t under our jurisdiction. Their server is located overseas, so we couldn’t find out who posted that bounty. Besides—”

“Cut the crap!” Jonathan interjected harshly before Zachary could finish his explanation. “You have one day. I want to know who posted the bounty before the sun sets!”

“Understood, Mr. Goldstein!”

Zachary didn’t dare have any objections.

Even though they were only talking through the phone, he could still feel the unbridled fury in Jonathan’s voice.

“Mr. Goldstein, should I ask Andrew to lead his troops and keep watch at Edenic Heights all day round?”
