Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 831

Mishka, on the other hand, was the daughter of the most prominent crime lord in the Balkan Underworld. True to the group's earlier suspicions, she was ruthless, fiercely jealous, and completely unhinged.

She once had a boyfriend from the Republic of Koralia, whom she had been dating for over two years.

Merely because he was caught looking at another woman, Mishka had the poor girl brutally mutilated and put on display as a macabre trophy. She then had her boyfriend castrated, turning him into a living nightmare.

Reading this, Mira turned to Owen. "How is someone who commits such atrocities still walking free?"

"As long as these syndicates don't pose a massive, systemic threat to the public or repeatedly operate within a single nation's borders, local authorities often view a couple of isolated murders as minor collateral damage.

The government isn't going to declare war on a heavily armed crime syndicate over personal vendettas.

Their reach is vast, and they are incredibly good at staying hidden."

"We can't fix the world's problems. Let's just focus on looking after ourselves,"

Owen added firmly.

"We'll set up our accounts at the NYSE tomorrow. The fees might be steeper, but it's our best bet for avoiding those massive consortiums."

It was a proactive move to prevent any unforeseen disasters.

Mira nodded in agreement.

The next morning, as Mira and her team exited the hotel, they unexpectedly ran into Jude Vance and Lawrence Lance right by the entrance.

This all but confirmed that Jillian Lowe had been operating as their spy, tracking Mira's every move on their orders.

"Why are they here?"

Hank glanced nervously between Owen and Mira.

He was hauling a massive amount of capital across international lines; it was impossible not to be paranoid.

"They've probably been monitoring us this whole time,"

Owen replied coolly.

"What if they leak our location back home?"

"Nothing we're doing is illegal, Hank. If they want to talk, let them.

They don't have the leverage to manipulate the market anyway. So what if they know we're here trading stocks?"
