Of course, Lily also knew that this would not be possible. Aside from Zhou Jingren and Kaen, there are also other people that she considered close to her heart. Li Shanshan and Fernando are out there, as well as Cathy and George. Of course, her brother and Bei Tian were also out there managing the company.
What if those bastards come for them once Lily and Zhou Jingren didn't show up on that date? A sigh escaped her lips. Those people covered up the incident that happened months ago. They even clean up the incident about the Duke. However, they also didn't let Leandro take the throne. This could only mean that the Previous Duke is still alive, right?
After coming here, Lily and Zhou Jingren deliberately stop all the contact that they had with Eliza and Levi. Both of them decided to spend time with each other and 'enjoy' the last few months of her pregnancy together. Unless extremely important, Lily and Zhou Jingren refused to reply to messages from Qin Yuanfeng and even Bei Tian. They would, however, send them an email from time to time letting them know that they were doing fine.
Of course, that was only before Lily gave birth. After she gave birth, the contact soon increased as Lily and Zhou Jingren started to dabble into the company secretly. However, staying in this place for six months didn't really mean that Zhou Jingren and Lily stopped researching about The Order.
By now, the duo already knew a lot of information about The Order. This information includes their past crimes that could be associated with their extreme want to control the global market and politics. Lily also realized that this organization is not like the EU or UN who had laws. The Order of the Spectre only followed one law and that is to maintain the balance of the world.
Of course, Lily thought this was rubbish. Balance? How could a certain organization create balance? However, it seems that everyone in this group really believed that they were capable of doing this.
"So you think… the source of their money is gold and oil?"
Lily nodded at Zhou Jingren's words. An organization like this needed money to fund their activities. They needed money to fund the war that they wanted to do. Money to fund the protesters that they send to create chaos in some countries. Money for the research that they were doing in some countries. And of course…. They needed money to stay hidden from the public's eyes.
Lily thought it would be impossible to hide this trail as this was not something most people would look at when they are researching something. However, Lily was not most people. While most people would have decided to follow Harringfort or Mr. Nesson, Lily decided to follow the money instead.
How could a big organization like this hide every little detail about the funds that they are using? Impossible! Lily knew that they could easily falsify stuff. However, that would also mean that as long as Lily and Zhou Jingren would look closer, they would be able to find it.
So, Lily and Zhou Jingren started to focus their attention on the continent with the richest natural resources.
Africa. The blessed Africa that holds around thirty percent of mineral reserves in the world.
Using the computer in the bunker that is connected to a satellite, the duo started their research that didn't seem to have any good results in the first few days. And that was when Lily discovered something.
Diamonds.
Aside from being known as the blessed country with good reserves of minerals, Africa is also known for its high-quality gems and diamonds. Since the 1800's Africa was already considered as the top continent that produces the highest quality of diamonds. And that was when Lily realized that instead of gold and oil, the Order is using diamonds to fund their pockets.
Then, they started using the black market to stealthily smuggle diamonds from country to country. It was honestly a big operation that took Lily and Zhou Jingren two months just to trace the large network all over the world. Because of this, Lily was able to trace at least ten people who she thinks is associated with Harringfort. These ten people were all people who Harringfort had been with in the last year.
Then, Lily also started using Mr. Neeson's acquaintances with the people associated with the diamond business or gem business. So far, Lily only figured out two people. A Japanese man and someone from Russia.
Still, it wasn't an easy feat. The Order had been very careful about everything. Their meetings and even their hideout is something that even Lily didn't know. Even Qin Yuanfeng was unable to determine it. However, this does not mean that Lily is going to give up.
These people wanted to use her husband to control her. Wouldn't it be right for her to retaliate? And to do that, Lily needed to get close to them. "Is everything prepared?" Lily asked Zhou Jingren.
"Hmmm." He nodded as he started typing on the computer. Since staying here, Zhou Jingren had been using his skills in hacking in 'Gathering information'. Because of this, his skills had improved by leaps and bounds. "Are you sure about this?" He eyed her.
"Is there any other way?" Lily countered as her gaze turned dark. In the past, Lilian tried to act against the organization by ruining them from the inside. However, she had forgotten that her weakness, her own husband was left in the open. She thought the organization would not dare touch him in the open.
She was wrong. In the end, her own husband had to die in her arms.
Such a cruel fate. No wonder her grandmother never laughed even when she was with her granddaughter. A sighed escaped Lily's lips as she thought of the other contents of the letter that Madam Luo gave her. That fate will never happen to her.
That is a promise.
