Inside a shop on the streets of Beloburg, the store owner was stacking the shelves.
Although the supply of goods was tight now, he had managed to secure some channels to get hold of some quality items not available on the market.
Of course, these good items would not be openly displayed on the shelves. Only those who were familiar with the store knew there was another shelf underneath, where the real treasures were kept.
Such shops were not uncommon in the Northern Territory. Although the Northern Territory authorities had once conducted a large-scale sweep to crack down on major smuggling activities, these small underground black markets had never been entirely eradicated.
Rumor even had it that the Shelby family, whom the store owner was connected with, was a puppet of the Northern Territory authorities.
