During the two hours he sat in the plane, Finley searched for all information related t o Quinn.
When he realized that two hours had already passed, he did not hurry to get off the plane. Instead, he called Homer.
As soon as the call was connected, Home's first question was, "Finley. You didn't wait until now to take off, did you?"
Finley said hurriedly, "Young Master Fox, I didn't inform you the time I took off, but I'm actually already in New York now. I'm still a t the airport."
"You've already arrived?" Homer sounded displeased. "Damn you! Didn't I tell you to inform me in advance so that I can arrange for my butler to pick you up? Why didn’t you notify me?"
Finley replied in a flattering manner, "Don't be angry, Young Master Fox. The reason I didn't tell you in advance is because I didn't want to cause you any trouble. Think about it! I'm the one who's operating everything. If anyone knows that I am here, it'll be somewhat risky for you."
Homer didn't know that Finley had already been exposed. Thus, he thought Finley's cautiousness was to protect his privacy. His dissatisfaction dissipated as he said with a smile, "Your biggest strength in so many years is your cautiousness, Finley. You truly are the only one who can help me in kidnapping Quinn Golding!"
"I've made it so that we were once university classmates. Our relationship was recorded in our files. If anyone checks up on you and discovers that you came to New York to see me, and will be staying at my house for a few days, they will not have any suspicions."
Homer had also given himself a good shield.
First of all, he was certain that once Finley was exposed, Finley would never dare to betray him and expose him.
If Finley did, Homer would destroy Finley’s entire family.
Both of them were in cahoots and had done many unconscionable deeds together, it didn't mean that they were comrades.
He knew nothing about Finley's black business, nor was he involved in anything.
Without evidence, no one would suspect him.
Finley, being the sharp man he was, naturally knew this very well. The reason h e gave his excuses was simply to take advantage of the opportunity and show his loyalty to Homer.
When Homer insisted on sending his butler to pick Finley up, Finley said, "If that's the case, Young Master Fox, you can send a helicopter here. I’ll be waiting in the hangar."
Homer usually returned to New York from the airport via a helicopter. This was a routine operation for him, so he didn’t think much about Finley's words. He said casually, "Wait, I'll speak to my butler."
