New Gods of North America.

Chapter 141 Transit
At first, Wayne only planned to recruit a few capable bounty hunters privately.
Help with staking out and blocking people when trading with the kidnappers.

As a result, it has now accidentally turned into a job fair, and the scale of the recruitment is difficult to grasp. I have to inform the financial sponsor first.

Considering that several people in the detective agency might have been targeted by someone at this time, rashly contacting Ian Fisk who was unwilling to reveal his identity would be counterproductive.

So Wayne wrote a note and had Doug secretly send it by pigeon.

The hotel was not too far from the neighborhood where the rich lived, so the pigeons flew back soon.
When it came back, one of its legs was obviously entangled by the reply note.

The note appears to have been dictated by Ian Fisk and then ghostwritten.

The handwriting appears elegant and fluent, with a hint of shorthand.

He was obviously very interested in this way of sending messages by pigeons, and he spent a lot of time talking about this. He then asked how to buy a batch of such pigeons, how to raise them, how long it would take to train them, and whether the trainers could sell them to him as a package.

As for how many people to recruit, just let Wayne and the others decide, but don't let the news leak out.

So Inissa, Lina and Doug took those who passed the initial test to the retest.
The content of the re-examination is to go out for a stroll.

Then if you find someone following or tracking you, you should persuade them to leave, or beat them up if necessary.

Wayne, whose face had appeared in local newspapers, was left in the hotel to continue attracting attention and to "stop adding unnecessary workload to the detective agency."

Wayne is fine.

By the afternoon, Doug's parrot was almost becoming autistic due to being teased.

……

Ms. Vahana felt the "power" coming from the pendant on her chest.
She walked out of her temporary residence, searched for a carriage with its door open parked on the side of the road, and got in.

Sitting in the carriage was a lady who looked dignified and elegant. She seemed to be slightly older than Ms. Wahana, but upon closer inspection, it seemed that there was no trace of time left on her.

Delphine LaLaurie's eyes glowed with a deep blue light:
"Is everything done?"

Ms. Vahana looked into her eyes, and her gaze suddenly became a little blunt and hesitant:

"Yes, Mrs. LaLaurie. According to the plan, I have asked someone to contact the Fisk family. But Miss Olivia's resistance is getting stronger and stronger. I am a little worried that I can't control her."

This is not surprising. For a woman like you who has been trained in etiquette and elegance like a peacock, it is a blessing not to make any mistakes.

The light in Delphine LaLaurie's eyes grew brighter. "I can give you the 'power' again so that you can continue to control her. Our goal is the ransom. As for her, she is not that important after the transaction is completed."

Ms. Vahana's face was filled with joy, but her facial expression was obviously slower than that of a normal person:

"Thank you very much, Mrs. LaLaurie. Although we can no longer return to the South where the Fisk family can reach us, with this fund, we can continue to help those poor slaves in the North and help them escape from their suffering."

Nausea.

It is because of people like you who claim to be "morally upright" that I am wanted and forced to leave New Orleans because of those little personal hobbies.

It's just plucking, skinning, and dismembering. Every cook does this to turkeys, cows, and sheep. Why can't I do the same to slaves?
Delphine LaLaurie first approached Ms. Wahana because when she fled to Georgia, she was rounded up by the church and needed to use the secret channel behind Ms. Wahana to hide and escape as soon as possible.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with enslaving the inferiors, so she had no ill will towards the Fisk family. But when Ms. Wahana asked her for help because she was about to be exposed for helping the slaves escape,
She thought about it and decided that it would be better to seduce Ms. Wahana and abduct the young lady at the same time.

The road to escape is still long. If I can bring a few tens of thousands of dollars with me, I can leave America more smoothly.

As for this stupid woman and her companions, they can slowly reflect on their hypocrisy and ignorance in prison.

Maybe they won’t have that chance.

Even she didn't want to touch the Fisk family's anger.

Delphine LaLaurie reached for the pendant on Lady Vahana's chest.
Infuse spiritual power into it.

She can temporarily share her ability to "persuade others" with others through specific objects.

But this kind of sharing is not entirely a gift. Those who receive the sharing will become more easily "persuaded" by themselves.

If it weren't for the fact that Ms. Vahana had been employed by the Fisk family for a long time, she would have been excluded from the Beyonder status and gained trust.

There was no way she could get in touch with the young lady on her own.

……

After night falls,

The maid left behind by Ian Fisk quietly informed Wayne that Butler Henry had arrived.

The old housekeeper pretended to be another customer of the hotel and booked a suite.

He was accompanied by several bodyguards.

Wayne formally took a briefcase from him, which contained a ransom of 100 US dollars, in -dollar bills.

It's light and airy, but it's like there are two hundred "Gray Wolf" Freddies locked up inside.

When Lina came back, she was furious when she found out that Wayne had just put the suitcase in the safe in the master bedroom of the suite.

Then Peter and Parker were ordered to guard the safe without leaving. Wayne estimated that Lina herself would probably run over to guard it tonight.

In the end, there were six applicants who passed the "re-examination", all of whom were Beyonders with bounty hunter experience.
What Wayne and his team have told them so far is that the wife of one of their employers has been kidnapped, and they want to catch the criminal by pretending to pay.

Originally, Wayne didn't want anyone to associate "kidnapping" with the Fisk family, but the most important thing at the moment is the hostages, and he couldn't help but let his companions realize this.

Everyone looked at the map of Burke Park, assigned locations to ambush, and anticipated some possible unexpected situations.

Thanks to Tolina's various creative ideas, Wayne and his team perfected the current response plans as much as possible in advance.
All that remains to be seen is how the kidnappers behave tomorrow.

Then according to the arrangement, Doug took a few of them to wait in advance. As for the on-site communication between everyone, except for signaling each other at that time, the rest would depend on Doug to mediate.
