Leonard Churchill was not surprised at all by hearing this.
In his previous life, these wealthy tycoons with vast amounts of capital would enter the new market, throw around billions of dollars, and take over the market, eliminating all competitors.
Then they would monopolize the industry.
The tycoons are all well-versed in this strategy.
Observing this move, Leonard knew that a massive restructuring was coming for these "small businesses" in the Sinless City.
Can a small shop compete with a large supermarket?
Where there is demand, they supply. Where others have, they excel. Where others excel, they provide at a lower cost.
The biggest difference between the Black Market and the conventional market was that the bosses of the Black Market dared to buy and sell things that others driven by fear would not.
After all, it built trust. For some aggressive bandits and looters who kill for a living, the Black Market is their stable channel of goods sales.
