Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1011

However, the hospital and compound systems remained impenetrable.

Those locations were likely connected to different mobile networks.

Mira suspected that each of their operations used a completely separate system, rather than relying solely on Mishka's father's personal network.

By dusk, Manager Warren found an excuse to dismiss the front desk staff, the security guards, and the hidden lookouts nearby.

Hank Whitlock brought his associates over to discuss strategy with Dominic West and the others.

Eventually, they reached a consensus. When the time came, Hank's associates would bring their armed forces to draw the enemy's fire, while the Mavarians handled raiding the compound.

Once the battle concluded, the territory, the land, and all the equipment would be handed over to Hank's associates.

He promised that from then on, they would run legitimate businesses.

But given the lawless nature of the region, Dominic West wasn't entirely convinced. He added a strict condition. "No illegal activities involving Mavaria.\nIf you break this rule, Mavarian forces will level this place with artillery."

Over the course of today and tomorrow, the official negotiations for handing over the Mavarian victims would be finalized.

On this issue, they would take whoever was handed over.

If they pushed too hard, the syndicate might lash out in anger and execute the hostages.

After the meeting concluded, everyone dispersed to deploy their units and prepare for the final battle.

That night, Mishka sent another note. This time, she had someone draw a massive turtle on it as an insult.

Mira completely ignored it.

Shortly after, Warren called to explain. "Mishka ordered me to deliver that note."

"Do you know where she's staying lately?"

Mira asked the manager.

"No idea. She would never tell me that. She's never trusted me."

Later that evening, Harvey Rivers called.

"There's still no news of my sister. I'll be in the Balkan Underworld by tomorrow morning."

Mira nodded firmly. "I will."

That same night, Mira's team went out to scout again, taking the same car belonging to the driver they had saved the previous night.

Unlike the night before, they only spotted Mara Mercer in the villa.

If Dominic hadn't issued strict orders to hold their fire and avoid reckless moves, Mira would have put a bullet in Mara's head right then and there.

They gathered even more intelligence on the various criminal strongholds.

Thanks to Warren giving them the green light, sneaking out of the inn that night went incredibly smoothly.

They returned by two in the morning.

When they reached the third floor, Felicia was actually pacing the hallway.

Later, checking the security feeds, Mira saw Felicia sneaking back into the manager's room to inform on them again.

Back in her room, Mira forwarded the security footage of both of Felicia's betrayal attempts straight to Dominic West.
