Charlie was impressed at Janus's attention to the minute details. He praised, "I guess they must think they've done a great job. Still, they couldn't deceive you."
Janus waved his hand humbly. "You're praising me too much, Mr. Wade. I’m not that attentive, but I've been in Oskiatown for many years. I'm so familiar with this place that I can immediately notice if anything strange happens here.”
Janus then added with a smile, "It's no exaggeration to say that after staying in one place for a long time, I can even tell if the next door dog’s barks sound different from usual."
His tone changed into one of worry as he asked Charlie, "Mr. Wade, why are the police paying attention to you? Did the Ten Thousand Armies leave any clues for them to track down?"
Charlie shook his head. "The Ten Thousand Armies didn't. Actually, I might have overlooked a small detail. I sent a girl with a sensitive identity to escort Jordan and Kathleen Fox back to New York. At that time, I didn't think too much about it. I told her to bring them in, but I ignored one thing. The moment she enters the country, she will be a clue."
Charlie added, “Merlin has led his men to surround the Fox Group's headquarters. Fortunately, I received the news ahead of time and instructed the girl to leave quickly. If the New York police find her, things will get messy."
Janus asked in a hurry, "What are the details, Mr. Wade? Can you tell me?” Charlie had nothing to hide from Janus, so he explained why he had Rosalie escort Jordan and Kathleen to Syria, and why he changed his mind halfway and sent them to New York instead.
Janus nodded softly after he listened to the story. "Indeed, it wasn’t planned properly. However, it's understandable. In any case, you've handled the situation well. Missing one or two small details is normal."
