Chapter 185

• Money was not a problem for Maximilien, he quickly solved that, called the bank and requested the withdrawal of the amount from one of his accounts. Of course, the manager was surprised by the withdrawal of such a large sum, however, since the Barclays were one of their best clients, he refrained from asking questions, so he confirmed that the exorbitant sum would be in his hands first thing the next day.
• After 10 pm, they were finally able to contact Carson. Marina explained to him what was happening, taking him by surprise, and he informed her that he would return to London as soon as possible, although obviously due to the distance, it would take many hours to arrive.
• Exactly at one in the morning, the phone in the residence rang again. Everyone had stayed up all night, and a torrential rain pounding outside did nothing to help their troubled hearts. Once again, Maximilien took the call, which was quite brief. They simply told him the location where he had to leave the money, Tottenham Hale, a rather dangerous neighborhood in the city. They gave him the street number, a quite lonely one, right in an alley, where he had to deposit the money in a large trash container.
