The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family

The bodyguard's words made Finley panic more, and he quickly asked, "Who else died?!"

The bodyguard shook his head and said," I'm not sure about that."Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

After that, he could not be bothered to talk to Finley anymore and left in a hurry.

Finley immediately fell into deep thought.' Homer has gone missing? Who did this? What happened to those Iga ninjas? Are they the ones who died?!'

Finley never thought that the eight Iga ninjas he hired would attack Homer instead. Hence, he speculated that it might be another enemy that had kidnapped Homer.

Finley had done a lot of despicable deeds: n his life. However, he could swear that he had absolutely nothing to do with Homer's disappearance.

It was rare for him to face something with a clear conscience like this.

He was not worried that Homer's disappearance would have anything to do with him. He was only worried about the implications.

If something happened to Homer, Finley might temporarily lose his protection. In that case, he might be in big trouble. The murderer that had killed his younger brother could be after him. However, Finley changed his mind quickly. He felt that he should not worry too much for the time being.

After all, he had a peaceful life here, which proved that the other party had been unable to trace him to the Fox family. He was still safe for the time being.

Whether Homer could come back safely or not was unimportant. All he had to do next was continue to stall as much time as possible in the Fox family, which was not difficult for Finley.

Homer had arranged for him to stay in a vacant villa. All the Fox family members that had previously stayed there had already moved out. The Fox family member would not pay attention to him as long as he stayed in the villa quietly.

It did not matter even if they paid attention to him. He could just tell the Fox family that he was Homer's friend, and the Fox family would probably not drive him out.

Finley calmed down with that thought in mind.

Meanwhile, at the Fox-family owned The Palace Hotel, the New York police had gathered all the staff who worked in the ballroom.

Merlin was certain that there was a mole among the staff members. It had to be an insider job, therefore, Merlin's top priority was to hunt for the mole who had helped the ninjas in their murder.

Merlin used a simple method to

achieve his goal. He did not follow

the normal procedure and

understood the situation from the person in charge first. Fisher Charles was the person in charge, but Merlin regarded him as one of the suspects and gathered him into the crowd.

This way, he did not have to listen to anyone's biased statement and directly pinpoint the problem from the crowd.

Merlin used a different approach in

questioning the staff. He ordered his

subordinates to take a few high-definition frontal photos of each person first. Then, he asked his subordinates to casually pick one of these people and take him to the next room.

The police would make the staff go through all the photos before questioning him.

Then, the police would ask the staff if there were any people whom he had seen today but were not at the scene.

If the staff said no, the police would temporarily take him to the corner and guard him. The staff was not allowed to communicate with anyone at all. It was to ensure that he could not collude with others.

They first questioned dozens of people who were all regular employees of The Palace Hotel.

When Fisher had arranged for Kazuo and his men to come into the hotel, he had intentionally told him not to have any contact with the regular staff. Therefore, the regular staff did not notice that anyone had been missing at the scene. Soon, the police questioned a temporary worker who had been hired to work for just a day.

This temporary worker was a young Oskian. He was originally an international student at an ordinary university in New York. His family had spent all their fortune and sent him to study abroad in hopes that he could achieve something. However, the young man had gradually lost himself after coming to the United States. Soon, he had simply squandered all the tuition fees that

his parents sent to him, and as a result, he was eventually expelled from the school because he could not pay the tuition fee.
