In a way, taking over these remnants of the Duncan Family at a low price really was profitable.
Following the Bu Peien jackals' usual playbook, they could split up the companies and make a huge profit. That was practically guaranteed! Ever since the Bu Peien jackals discovered that dismantling companies brought in far more profit than operating them, more and more people had started eyeing this method.
They definitely wouldn't let such a huge spread left behind by the Duncan Family slip through their fingers!
However, countless precedents had shown us that when everyone believed they could definitely profit from something, it might not actually benefit anyone!
With core members such as Jieluno secretly fleeing, the Federal Department of Justice had finally begun holding trials centered on the various crimes committed by the Duncan Family.
Large numbers of related individuals were arrested, charged, and investigated. Society as a whole was paying close attention to these matters.
And the scope of this case's involvement had truly exceeded everyone's imagination!
When the principal of a public middle school was implicated as well, society could no longer express that kind of anger. There was only endless sorrow.
According to the investigation, among the school's current and former students, some had taken part in various parties meant only for adults, organized by the principal.
Each time, he paid the students who attended roughly four to five hundred dollars. Nearly a hundred such parties had already been confirmed, spanning more than seven years.
During that period, some students' parents had noticed problems, but members of the Duncan Family had ultimately suppressed them through the government.
Several local celebrities, public figures, and government officials were subsequently implicated...
In fact, once a major case like this broke out, it was not necessarily necessary to investigate every detail.
