Chapter 441 - The Plan (2/2)
Legend had it that if anyone could survive the training of Master Shan Chi then they could survive any obstacles in the world.
Right now, Edward needed that theory to be true even though he hadn't particularly believed it.
He didn't expect the heat from Tai and Jinn's men combined to be little so he was expecting everything.
He would have asked for more men to flood the hotel, but they still had the element of surprise and Edward wanted to strike and take out half the army before they realised what was happening.
He gave the details of the plan he and Viktor had come up with within ten minutes of thinking of nothing else.
The party was the next night and whatever Tai Pin had planned would definitely be executed then especially if it involved blackmailing
Edward into giving up his position in the mafia. They would expect that Edward would want to return to Beijing afterward and would waste no time in capturing him.
”Either of two things are going to happen,” Edward had speculated, ”I'll arrive the party and be taken in immediately or sometime during the party, I'll be escorted out of the hall on the request of Tai Pin.
Of course, they expect that I would comply freely because I'm not supposed to know what's happening.”
Viktor had nodded, completely in agreement with his boss's theory.
”But option one is not feasible. If they take me before the party, I'll feel blindsided. I need to see the everything that's going on.”
So, Edward had decided that he would arrive the party with an entourage.
”Of course Tai won't be expecting that because I don't need the security, right?”
Viktor caught on quick. He gave Edward a reassuring nod.
”So, I'll walk into the building flanked on all sides by a few chosen men so that no one's able to get to me to request my presence somewhere else.”
Because if the memo got to him, Edward would be compelled to obey else it would be the first tip off that something wasn't going well.
”But won't the presence of security be questioned. You said it yourself, they don't expect you to have so much protection.”
”I'm currently seen as the most dangerous man in the underworld Viktor, they may not expect me to travel with so much security because it has never been my style.
It won't throw them off because they have an option two.” Plans changed easily whenever there were options and all Edward needed to do was figure out the ones Tai Pin had and make him pick the one that would leave his army open for attack from him.
It was this Edward explained to the men in the room. Afterward, he went into phase two of the plan.
”There's always a pattern to these parties. Once all the guests have arrived, the doors to the ballroom will be closed to any other person,” Edward had explained to Viktor.
”How do they know all the guests have arrived?”
”They have a list.”
”What about latecomers? How long will they leave the door open for them?”
”It's a mafia rule, you don't come to a gathering an hour after the stated opening time else you won't be let in.”
”So you're convinced everyone of the guest list is mafia then?”
