Chapter 4107
The Ten Thousand Armies deployed over a thousand soldiers to New York for several days in a row, but they still failed to track down Finley's whereabouts. Porter was very ashamed about this, and he called Charlie almost every day to apologize.
Charlie didn't blame him. He knew that in looking for clues, a complete chain was necessary. If a link was missing, it would be impossible to restore the chain. Without a proper trail, nothing could be found. Forget the Ten Thousand Armies, even the United States' National Security Agency would fail.novelbin
Finley couldn't be found at all since his arrival at the New York JFK Airport, and the Ten Thousand Armies was temporarily unable to fill in this small hole in their search. Naturally, it was impossible for them to find Finley's whereabouts.
Porter soon thought of a way to break out of their predicament. He planned to investigate all the vehicles and helicopters that entered and left the airport within a few hours after Finley's arrival in New York. He intended to find the owners of these vehicles and match them with Finley one by one, in order to determine which had crossed paths with Finley.
However, Charlie rejected this method the instant Porter proposed it.
Finley's vanishing convinced Charlie that the former probably had a powerful backer in New York. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to disappear without a trace.
If Porter started investigating the vehicles, it would certainly alert the enemy, even if he did it with utmost secrecy. Then, it would be harder to find them.
Therefore, Charlie wasn't anxious about finding Finley's whereabouts.
After all, he was certain: Finley couldn't be hiding for the rest of his life.
There was no need to search high and low for him. Sooner or later, he would have to come out.
Now that the Ten Thousand Armies had already deployed a lot of troops to be stationed in New York. As soon as Finley appeared, Finley along with his superiors and subordinates would all be wiped out at once.
Finley had yet to show his face. At the moment, his plan tailored specifically for Quinn's kidnapping was proceeding in an orderly manner.
In the past few days, he had been following Homer to The Palace Hotel every day.
As he was with Homer the entire time, he had yet to be exposed to the public eye.
The Palace Hotel was so large, the ballroom had a separate two-storey building spanning more than ten thousand square meters. The first floor was where the ballroom and the private rooms were located, and the back
the second floor was Wand staff
Kitchen, equipment room, and staff lounge were located.
Finley already had a detailed plan of action in mind after a thorough on-site survey of The Palace Hotel.
Homer brought Finley there several days: n a row, but still nothing was fully planned. Homer began feeling a little anxious. He couldn't help but ask in worry, "Finley, do you have a plan yet?"
Finley smiled faintly and said, "I've
already planted a high-priced
informant in the local security company that Quinn Golding's agency is collaborating with. I learnt about their methods of protecting public figures. They have their own manuals of conduct, detailing all their standards and strategies in dealing with contingencies and unexpected events."
Finley added, "Security companies in the United States have similar routines. They will focus mostly on protecting their customer outdoors, especially when he or she is on
or going out in a car. During the ot
they usually keep their guns at hand to prevent harmful persons from conspiring anything along the way. They'll also arrange for snipers and observers at high points with the best view, all to
monitor the surrounding environment in real-time. However, their vigilance is lowered once their customer is indoors."
