A thorough cleaning of the apartment took Hunter nearly an hour.
However, the time was not wasted.
An hour later, after packing up all the trash and taking it downstairs to dump,
Hunter returned to the apartment. Although his face showed no outward change,
his heart was now filled with fury.
"One camera, four wiretaps."
"I'm being watched. Who could it be?"
During the thorough cleaning over the past hour, Hunter confirmed that his previous suspicions weren't just wild imaginings.
His residence had indeed been broken into at some point over the past dozen days.
Furthermore, the intruder hadn't entered Hunter's apartment that long ago.
He estimated it must have been within the last two or three days.
While cleaning, he noticed that the dust on the floor, appliances, and other items was thicker in some places and cleaner in others, leaving behind a few traces of the intruder.
If Hunter wasn't mistaken, there was likely only one intruder, and in all probability, it was a male.
This was because he found a faint footprint in the dust under a cabinet and the refrigerator.
The footprint was roughly a size 44, slightly larger than Hunter's size 39.7 feet, and the sole pattern was different from Hunter's as well!
In Hunter's home, an extremely inconspicuous Camera had been installed, aimed at his living room.
At the same time, there were four bugs; one was in a kitchen cabinet, and another was under the refrigerator.
One was sewn into the sofa, and another was placed under the bedframe in the bedroom.
The placement of these Bugs and the Camera was very clever—not only were they hidden, but they were all in the most suitable locations for gathering intelligence within Hunter's apartment!
It was clear that the person who installed the surveillance in his home was very experienced!
If Hunter's five-dimensional attributes weren't more than double those of an ordinary person, and if he hadn't searched so carefully, he likely would have found it difficult to discover these very discreetly installed Cameras and Bugs!
"Who could it be?"
After 'cleaning' his home, Hunter sat down on the sofa that contained one of the Bugs and began to think seriously!
He had offended quite a few people over the past few months.
However, Hunter had always acted prudently!
Although he had offended several factions in the past, if any were to actually suspect him, it should only be the FBI and the Los Angeles Police Department!
As for Boston, even if the Russian Gang behind Moscow Nights knew Hunter's appearance, it would be impossible for them to find him in such a short time.
When he went to Boston, whether it was buying plane tickets or checking into a hotel, he had used false identity information!
Even if that Russian Gang suspected Hunter, it was impossible for them to find him here so quickly and install Cameras and Bugs!
Furthermore, he didn't believe that if those Russians came looking, their methods would be so gentle!
"So, the ones watching me should be the FBI or the Los Angeles Police Department!"
"Installing Cameras and Bugs is exactly the kind of tactic they would use!"
The reason the FBI and the Los Angeles Police Department were targeting him was definitely related to Dominic and his crew!
The only thing Hunter couldn't be sure of was Dominic's current situation!
He felt that he couldn't go see Dominic for the time being, because if even he was being watched by the FBI or the Los Angeles Police Department now...
...then there was a high probability that Dominic and the others had been completely exposed!
However, the FBI and the Los Angeles Police Department were looking for evidence!
The batch of electronic products that Dominic and his crew had hijacked had already been sent to Boston by Hunter to be fenced not long ago!
In America, it's very easy to convict a group of poor people without evidence.
But trying to convict wealthy people without sufficient evidence is not an easy task!
Dominic and his crew weren't short on money, so as long as there wasn't sufficient evidence, it wouldn't be simple for even the FBI or the Los Angeles Police Department to convict them!
Dominic's side had been suspected of being watched by the FBI before!
And Hunter likely entered the FBI or Los Angeles Police Department's field of suspicion when he bailed out Dominic and the others earlier!
Thinking about it this way, Hunter suddenly felt that everything made sense!
However, as his brain whirred, a thought suddenly struck him, and he abruptly thought of another possibility!
"I almost forgot!"
"There's another possibility!"
Slater might have exposed me, or Charlie and his crew might also suspect me!"
Although Hunter had been very careful when stealing Steve's gold,
to the point that even ten days after he successfully stole the gold, Charlie and the others likely still didn't know who had beaten them to the punch.
But later, in order to level up his Lockpicking Skill, and because he was also lusting after her body,
Hunter had not only exposed himself while saving Slater, but he also let the beautiful Lockpicking Expert Slater know a lot of real information about himself!
During the ten or so days he spent with Slater, Hunter had already discovered it!
Slater was indeed one of the world's top Lockpicking Experts and was certainly smart enough!
But she perhaps spent too much time and energy on practicing Lockpicking and related knowledge.
As a result, after Hunter had killed Steve and successfully helped Slater avenge her father's death,
when he faced the passionate Slater that night, he discovered that the beautiful Lockpicking Expert was actually still a virgin!
Recalling the plot of The Italian Job, where Slater was easily manipulated by Charlie and joined his team,
and was later caught in a slip-up by Steve, thereby exposing herself and Charlie's crew...
Hunter suddenly felt that after Slater went back,
when Charlie and the others approached her to ask how she escaped from Steve, she might have unintentionally exposed his information during Charlie's deliberate questioning!
Charlie had operated across various countries, committing countless thefts over a dozen years.
He had only been outmaneuvered once by his own man, Steve, and once by the transmigrator Hunter.
Not only was his mind meticulous, but he was also an exceptionally intelligent man!
Then there was Rob in Charlie's team; that guy had excellent Driving skills—motorcycles, cars, yachts, helicopters—it seemed there was nothing he couldn't handle!
Furthermore, Rob was a playboy who was particularly good at dealing with women!
With those two around, Hunter felt it wouldn't be strange if Slater had been successfully pumped for information and exposed him.
So, after this round of suspicion,
Hunter suddenly realized that the targets monitoring him might have reached around three.
Among them, the most likely and most dangerous was undoubtedly the FBI.
The next most likely were Charlie and his crew!
Hunter hadn't disposed of the Cameras and Bugs in his home yet, for fear of alerting the enemy.
But no matter who was watching him, it was definitely not a good thing.
He knew he had to identify the people in the shadows as soon as possible and eliminate these threats.
"I'll have things to do for a while."
At this thought, for some reason, Hunter couldn't suppress a surge of excitement in his heart...
