The business of the Duncan Family...
was, after all, not a legal one.
At a time when the entire world was de-colonizing—er, de-slaving and beginning to respect human rights, there were still people capturing slaves, raising them, trafficking them, abusing them, and even killing them. These businesses were not only illegal in various countries, but also condemned by society as a whole.
Yet it was, of all things, the core industry of the Duncan Family! Some people developed an addiction to doing terrible things.
Perhaps at first they might have... been accidental. For instance, accidentally killing someone while seeking pleasure through abuse, but once they found that the thrill of killing a fellow human was obviously stronger than simple harm, they would become obsessed.
Any addictive desire would eventually lead a person to destruction, and these people could not just go around killing people casually, but through the Duncan Family, at some secret location, they could occasionally spend money, or use other forms of exchange, to obtain such pleasure! It was barbaric, and terrifying! The international community was civilized after all, and these people hid behind the scenes, acquiring what they needed through other means.
There was nothing more suitable as a target than "missing persons", and furthermore, these missing persons came from Nagaril.
The Duncan Family had dozens of slave-hunting teams in Nagaril, and these people did not capture slaves every single day. They would screen the targets they could reach based on some customer orders and detailed requirements.
They would observe those candidate targets, find the right ones, capture them, and after some domestication, tie them with a pretty ribbon, pack them in a box, and send them to their clients! Aside from that, there were all kinds of flesh and blood factories—this term sounded a bit cruel,
