"The 'Thorns of Sin' Club."
"Scope of operations—bridge, Imperial Military Chess..."
Shiayar waved the dossier in Zieg's direction.
"A chess and card games club occupies almost half a city block, and your Military Department has classified it as top-secret intelligence?"
"Of course, there's more to it than that."
Zieg approached Shiayar, glanced at the intelligence on the dossier, and couldn't help but frown slightly.
"Nominally, it's a card games club, but in reality, 'Thorns of Sin' is a colossal casino."
"Moreover, unlike those casinos purely after profit, indirect evidence suggests that 'Thorns of Sin' is directly involved in certain illicit industries."
"Including, but not limited to, organ trafficking, false imprisonment, the slave trade, and so on..."
Shiayar raised his eyebrows in astonishment. "So you just stand by and watch them engage in illicit activities in the Empire Capital, right under your noses?"
