This short sentence shocked Claudia completely.
She subconsciously covered the scar on her face and blurted out, "You... How could you tell?!"
Charlie said indifferently, "Although your scar looks very realistic, it is only a visual effect. If it was a real scar, it would still be a part of your body tissue. In other words, a real scar would look alive, and no matter how realistic a fake scar might seem, it is just an external material."
Claudia could not understand Charlie's explanation.
She could understand that the scar was fake, but she could not understand how Charlie could see that.
To Charlie, his perception ability based on Reiki was far beyond that of vision itself.
Charlie had already realized that Claudia's scar was completely devoid of any semblance of life from the very first time h e had seen her.
It was just like how an artificial flower could never have the vitality of a real flower itself no matter how realistic it looked.
Charlie could already judge that the scar on her face was fake from this point alone.
It was also at that moment that he concluded that there was something wrong with Claudia.
It was just that he could not figure out Claudia's intention for calling him to come all the way over to Canada.
"The Italian mafia group originally engaged in these wicked things at first. Later, my father took charge, and he put a halt to these kinds of things at my mother’s suggestion...”
"However, over the recent years, the Italian mafia group in Vancouver has not been doing very well. Asian forces have begun rising quickly in Canada. The Oskian, Vietnamese, and Korean mafia groups have continued expanding, and the Americans have begun paying more and more attention to this place. The Italian mafia group’s territory has also been shrinking, so all of their income has been greatly reduced...
"Gopher has always suggested for my father to collaborate with several major groups in Europe and the United States to engage in the human trafficking business. They plan to kidnap girls from Canada, especially tourists, new immigrants, or stowaways, and then smuggle them out of the country to be distributed by those big European and American groups with almost no cost at all. At least hundreds of millions of dollars could then be earned, but my father had never agreed to this. It's also because of this that my father had some grievances with them."
"After my father was killed, they restarted the business. Recently, there have often been cases of young women going missing in Vancouver and its surrounding areas. In just two months, there have been more than twenty such cases, but since more than half of them are stowaways, the Vancouver police have chosen to turn a blind eye to it."
When Charlie heard this, he was so furious that his veins were already protruding.
