Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1037

"Thanks, sir. Thank you."

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."

"Loose ends?" Dominic asked between bites. "Is a day enough? Do you need any of the squad to assist?"

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."

"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."

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."

"I'm so sorry. I had no idea you flew out personally. I'll come visit you tomorrow."

To her surprise, James replied with a flawlessly translated idiom. "Excellent, I eagerly await your arrival!"

"James, there's one more thing. Do you have vehicles available?"
