    Hansel shook his head. “Mr. Luke, the ck market’s always been chaotic. Peoplee in and expect trouble- beatings aren’t rare. When I was grabbed just now, they blindfolded me and gagged me, dragged me out. I wasn’t beaten as badly as you, but I still took a few hits. I heard that when Miss Natalie came here years ago, she was also beaten. She almost got assaulted.”


    Jensen’s fury froze in an instant.


    Natalie had been beaten here too?


    He could barely stand the pain himself-how had she endured it, a young woman all alone?


    “How do you know that?” Jensen turned sharply toward Hansel. “You’ve never told me this before.”


    Hansel lowered his gaze, aware of the dangerous edge in Jensen’s eyes. “When Miss Summers came to the ck market, I was with her. I stayed until we saw Witch Doctor, then I was ordered to leave. As for the beating, Miss. Natalie told me not to mention it to you. She said if your surgery seeded, if you survived, then everything was worth it. She didn’t want you weighed down by guilt.”


    Jensen fell silent.


    His chest clenched with a crushing ache, almost choking him. The more he learned about what Natalie had endured for him, the more monstrous he felt.


    But what could he do now?


    She was gone. Whatever regret or remorse he carried, it was toote to give her anything back.


    He forced himself to stand. His whole body throbbed, but the physical pain was nothingpared to what gnawed inside his chest.


    He nced around the empty street, mind reying the stranger’s voice and words.


    Why had that man known everything-about Natalie, about Sharon, about him?


    Was he truly just some admirer of Natalie’s? Or was there some hidden power behind her that Jensen had never seen?


    If this man cared so much about her, then maybe… maybe Natalie was still alive.


    Jensen’s mind raced.


    Hansel stayed silent, waiting. When he finally spoke, Jensen’s voice was low. “Do you know who runs this ck


    market?”

    Hansel shook his head. “No. It’s been here for years, but no one knows who’s really behind it. What’s certain is that no one dares stir up real bloodshed here. Once, a powerful family tried to seize control of the market. The next day they all came down with some strange illness. Within weeks, they were wiped out, not a soul left. Since then, no one has daredy a hand on this ce. There’s another reason too-it’s said Witch Doctor himself is tied to it. His shop is here in the market.”


    Jensen’s eyes narrowed.


    Witch Doctor.


    Everything always circled back to them.


    Could it be that the force behind Natalie… was the Witch Doctor?


    If so, then there was still hope. She could still be alive.


    Jensen’s pulse quickened with a surge of desperate excitement. “Where is Witch Doctor’s shop?”


    “At the very end of this street,” Hansel answered. He didn’t know why Mr. Luke suddenly looked so animated, but since Natalie’s death Jensen had rarely been himself.


    “Then let’s go.”


    Jensen started forward, though every step tore through his battered body with fresh waves of pain.


    Damn it.


    Whoever beat him today-he would find out, and they would pay.


    “Can we pull surveince footage here?” he asked.


    Hansel shook his head. “This is the ck market. All the security systems are run by their own people. We won’t


    get ess.”


    “Not even with a hacker?”


    “No. The system here is too strong. There was a hacker who tried once-didn’t get a single byte. Instead he ended up losing his mind,pletely insane, unable to live a normal life again.” <fn82de> Discover more novels at Find_Novel(.</fn82de>


    Jensen’s brows drew tight.


    The power behind this ce… was even greater than he imagined.


    “The government doesn’t interfere?”


    Hansel sighed. “It seems they can’t. And since no murders or outright crimes ever surface here, everything that goes on in the market is presented as legal. Rare treasures, unique goods-things you can’t find anywhere else. But illegal trades like organs? Those don’t happen here, at least not openly.”

    Jensen gave a harsh, humorlessugh. “A ck market that’s ‘legal.’ What a joke.”
