Chapter 127: Nowhere to Hide

Henry's team arrived in Miami and met with Alan from the Lucerce family, who coordinated their search efforts. They split into 30 groups, distributing portraits of Leo and instructing their contacts to locate him.

Meanwhile, Victor, now in a state of panic, contacted Charles, his money-laundering associate. Charles informed him that the Lucerce family was conducting a city-wide search for someone matching Leo's description. Realizing the gravity of the situation, Victor grew anxious, fearing the wrath of the powerful Lucerce family.

Victor, once relaxed and confident, now felt the pressure as Charles explained that the background of Hardy's auction company might be more significant than he initially realized. Victor decided to avoid detection by hiding out in a car overnight, and then attempted to alter his appearance with a new look.

He ventured to the airport but found it heavily guarded, making it clear that he was the target of a widespread search. Fearing for his safety, Victor abandoned the idea of flying and instead decided to drive out of Miami.

Victor took a Ford sedan he found on the street, heading towards Georgia. He managed to evade immediate capture but remained wary, planning to lay low for a while before dealing with the stolen check.

In Miami, Henry and his team continued their search, discovering that a guest fitting Leo's description had stayed at a hotel but had since vanished. The hotel manager revealed that the guest made two calls: one local and one to Boston.

Henry tracked down Charles, who was understandably nervous. Under pressure, Charles admitted that he had a history with Victor and had been contacted just before the search began. He revealed that Victor had a history of money laundering and often reached out to him for financial dealings.

Henry, suspecting that Victor had fled to Boston, contacted a woman claiming to be Victor's partner. She informed Henry that Victor was expected to return in a few days. Henry, now with a lead, prepared to fly to Boston to continue the search.

As Henry and his team departed for Boston, the stakes were high, and the pursuit of Victor intensified. The chase had expanded beyond Miami, and Victor's situation became increasingly precarious.
