Hank brought Julien and Royce to the villa's third floor. Looking at Biden's mansion from a distance, Julien asked, "Have you searched the house?"
Hank answered, "We've done more than that. We scanned the entire house and courtyard with many detectors but found nothing."
Julien's eyes widened in surprise, and he queried, "The treasure tower is made of metal, but the detector couldn't detect it. Does that mean it's not here?"
"It's hard to say." Hank explained, "Biden is very sly. He must have made full preparations since he dared to swap the tower. There are more than ten secret rooms in the house, so there might be dark rooms that we haven't found yet."
"Okay!" Julien nodded and affirmed, "You must find the treasure tower even if you have to turn the house upside down!"
Hank sighed. "That's gonna be hard for us now. The FBI has warned us that overdoing the search could cause a lot of trouble, and we've lost our control over Biden. The entire country is pointing fingers at us now. I'm afraid we'll be in a worse position if we turn the house upside down."
Julien nodded and said, frowning, "Biden is still in the hospital, but I guess he'll be discharged soon. I guess we can't send him back to prison under public pressure. Once he is acquitted and returns here, maybe he will lead us to the treasure tower."
Then, he lowered his voice slightly and continued, "Sometimes, instead of catching the rat, we should let it go and quietly follow it. Once we get to his hiding hole, we can kill it all at once!"
A large group of people gathered at the entrance of Campbell's Roast, and several lion dance teams came from all directions with gongs and drums, lining up to perform the lion dance in front of the restaurant.
A little bewildered upon seeing the sight, Charlie approached a man in the crowd and curiously asked, "Excuse me, what's the occasion? What are they celebrating?"
The man answered with a laugh, "Angus, the owner of Campbell's Roast, is now the new boss of the entire Oskian gang! Not only did they kick the Burning Angel out of Oskiatown and take over Oskiatown, but more importantly, Angus announced this morning that the Oskian gang has reorganized and will permanently stop collecting protection fees from the merchants. This is great news for us!"
Oskiatown had never been able to get rid of the control of gangs since the day it was formed. Merchants here had never been able to exempt themselves from protection fees. They either paid the fee to local gangs or Oskian gangs in Oskiatown. Today marked a great day in history when the Oskian gang finally stopped collecting the fees.
