Chapter 78: The Boiling American Assassin World
🕑 Added 2023-09-17 05:55:08 +0000 UTCAfter briefing Ginny, Charles turned to Iruka and the other two and said, "This A-rank mission is mainly assigned to you three."
"Annihilate the Hand's base in Hell's Kitchen, and bring Madame Gao to me alive. Eliminate anyone who stands in your way, no matter who they are."
Charles then took out the box containing the tableware used by Madame Gao and said, "This contains Madame Gao's scent. You can use it to get help from Parker."
Iruka stepped forward, took the briefcase, held it in his hands, and said, "We guarantee the mission will be completed!"
Rock Lee, who was standing beside them, immediately gave a thumbs-up and said, "Rest assured, Lord Charles. You can trust me with this mission."
Sasuke turned his head to the side and muttered softly, "Idiot."
Then he looked at Charles and said, "Lord Charles, I will bring Madame Gao back."
Charles nodded and said, "Go and complete the mission!"
In the next moment, Iruka and the others disappeared in a blur.
Charles took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
A moment later, a voice on the other end said, "This is the Management Division."
Charles spoke slowly, "I want to issue a combined bounty notice across the United States!"
The operator on the other end of the phone asked calmly, "Verification code?"
"High Table Elder, 1000012."
"Retrieve the list of Hand members across the United States and issue a bounty for the entire group. Ordinary members, $100,000; lower-level leaders, $500,000; Hand ninja members, $1 million."
"Total bounty amount: $200 million!"
As for Madame Gao of the Hand, Charles did not specifically offer a bounty. After all, he had dispatched Iruka's team to complete the mission, and his priority was to bring Madame Gao back alive, not as a corpse.
"In progress, please wait."
On the other end of the phone, at the High Table Bounty Task and Archive Center, the operator temporarily paused the call and then said, "Management, archives, information on Hand members in the United States!"
A secretary-like High Table staff member went to the archive room, retrieved the latest information on Hand members in the United States, and handed it to the operator.
Taking the archive, the operator opened it and found a picture of Madame Gao and a building in Hell's Kitchen on the front page.
The operator picked up a red stamp, stamped it directly on the document, and the stamp clearly bore the word "war."
Then the operator picked up the phone and replied, "The information has been recorded and will be broadcast to all members shortly."
Soon, the bounty mission was immediately published.
A typist started inputting the information into the computer.
Bounty Target: Hand members across the United States.
Total Amount: $200 million.
Bounty Mode: Ordinary members $100,000 per person, lower-level leaders $500,000 per person, Hand ninja members $1 million per person.
Distribution: Nationwide
Status: Immediately effective
Known Major Base: Hell's Kitchen
Update Time: 5:00 PM
As the information was edited, the High Table Bounty Task and Archive Center's bounty mission board moved the previous top spot down, replacing it with the new mission targeting Hand members in the United States with a reward of $200 million.
The mission board was updated, and the information was sent out.
In the next second, the entire United States, including registered assassins associated with the Continental Hotel, received a text message.
The Bowery King, who had just regained control of the Bowery District, looked at his phone and said to Erla, "Looks like we've got some work. Send out our brothers. We have to get a piece of that $200 million."
As the newly reinstated Bowery King, he needed a substantial bounty to appease his newly regained subordinates.
…
Inside the Continental Hotel in New York, Winston looked at the message on his phone with a slight frown.
He knew that issuing an internal notification bounty against another faction like this was not a decision that a Continental Director could make.
Ever since Charles became a Continental Elder, there had been no change in the policies of the Continental Hotel in the United States, and there had been no major actions taken.
Winston muttered to himself, "It seems like the new Elder's first move is going to start a fight with the Hand."
At this moment, the mobile phones of the assassins in the Continental Hotel were ringing one after another. Winston looked at this familiar scene and pondered silently.
…
At this moment, assassins from all over the United States were mobilized, and the scale of this mobilization was many times larger than that of the John Wick incident.
Zero, the sushi chef, saw the word "Hand Ninja" on the notification and immediately closed his shop. He left with his apprentice.
In the next second, his phone rang again. This time, it was a link sent by the Continental Hotel. When he clicked on it, he found a list of Hand members across the United States with names and photos, totaling more than a hundred.
At the end, there was an additional sentence: "This list does not include all members of the Hand in the United States."
With $200 million in bounties and a large number of potential targets, the news spread through the assassin world like an atomic bomb.
At this moment, in the streets and alleys, everywhere, the most common phrase being heard was, "Brothers, let's go make some money."
Countless New York assassins were flocking to Hell's Kitchen. Even some local gangs and assassins who had received the message were itching for action.
…
In the meeting room, Charles and Ginny both received the information.
Ginny was dumbfounded and said, "Boss, where did you get this money?"
She had just heard with her own ears that her boss had invested $200 million for a nationwide bounty. She knew that her boss's money was usually invested in the stock market.
Charles smiled, took out the box containing the 900 million worth of shares that Kingpin had sent, and said, "This is the 2 billion commission from Kingpin's mission."
When Ginny heard the number 2 billion, she was shocked and stood up, releasing the notebook in her hand. "He's that generous?"
Charles nodded and said, "These are shares worth 900 million. They were advanced commission payments. I want you to transfer them all into my name."
Ginny took the briefcase, opened it eagerly, and looked at the documents inside. She was pleasantly surprised. "Boss, you've made a fortune with the mission to wipe out the Hand. These three stocks are all excellent and suitable for long-term holding."
Charles nodded and said, "I'm leaving this to you. Make sure to get the High Table Envoys involved as well, so they can earn some extra money."
"As for your bonuses, I'll distribute them after the job is done."
With that, Charles turned and left the meeting room, heading to the lounge. He wanted to celebrate the upcoming acquisition of the Dragon's Bone with a glass of whiskey.
