Chapter 1037
“Thanks, sir. Thank you p>
Mira and her team didn’t need to head out tonight, while Dominic’s crew had to finalize the handover with Director Whitlock’s contacts.
Suddenly remembering something, Mira turned to Dominic at the dinner table. “Can we push the handover back a day? We have some loose ends to tie up p>
“Loose ends?” Dominic asked between bites. “Is a day enough? Do you need any of the squad to assist p>
Mira pondered for a moment. “It’s speculative, so we shouldn’t draw attention.
If I need backup, I’ll just coordinate with Lieutenant Vance p>
“Alright, handle it however you see fit. A slight delay won’t hurt. I’ll just tell everyone we’re pushing it back by two days p>
The men needed the rest anyway, and the wounded weren’t in any shape to travel
just yet.
Back in her room after dinner, Mira dialed Barlow National Bank.
The operation’s success was largely thanks to their financial maneuvers.
Barlow National Bank had frozen a massive chunk of Mishka’s family assets, crippling their international reach. The other major factor was the enemy’s sheer arrogance.
Otherwise, Mira’s small crew, coupled with the few hundred special ops and armed police they’d brought, would never have stood a chance against such deeply entrenched drug lords.
Securing the alliance with Director Whitlock’s contact had also been critical.
The contact’s massive private army had pinned down the cartel’s main forces, making them believe it was just a local turf war. They never suspected that a Mavarian strike team would slip in and obliterate their stronghold.
As for the frozen funds, after the bank took its cut, the remainder would be funneled directly to Mavaria.
“My dear Mira, you finally decided to call? In the words of your people, you’ve been practically ignoring me.
I came all the way to the Balkan Underworld just to see you, and I’ve been waiting forever p>
“I’m so sorry. I had no idea you flew out personally. I’ll come visit you tomorrow p>
To her surprise, James replied with a flawlessly translated idiom. “Excellent, I eagerly await your arrival p>
“James, there’s one more thing. Do you have vehicles available p>
“Of course. Depends on what you’re looking for p>
“Your armored trucks, naturally. The ones for transporting gold and jewels p>
“Ah, the perks of owning a bank. Yes,
we absolutely do,” James replied et
cheerfully. This was his favorite kind
“I’ll even throw in the armed guards p>
“How many armored trucks can you spare p>
“Five. Two heavy-duty, three standard p>
“Perfect. Please keep your phone on tonight p>
“Will do. So, what’s my cut going to be p>
“I’m not even sure if I have anything yet. But if I do, you’ll be generously compensated p>
“Alright, I trust you, Miss Mercer p>
After she hung up, Owen looked at her.

and you’re already making
promises? Content belongvelo
“I told him it wasn’t a sure thing. No harm done if it falls through.
But I needed to secure the transport in advance p>
Despite her casual tone, Mira’s instincts screamed that they were about to hit the jackpot.
“Owen, you stay behind tonight and rest that arm. Master and I will take a few guards p>
“Nonsense. You expect me to sit at home while an old man and my woman head into into danger p>
scowled, clearly displea net
“You’re injured. I’m just looking out for you p>
“If you’re really looking out for me, we’ll get married this holiday season p>
She would be turning twenty by then.
“No way. I haven’t even graduated yet p>
