Chapter 2
“Old rules, bourbon.”
Li Xu took out a gold coin and put it on the bar, looking around.
“Waiting for someone?”
Adi put down the wine glass, put his fair face very close, and deliberately breathed out hot air at Li Xu.
“I have business tonight.”
Li Xu pushed Adi’s face away.
“It’s so sad.”
Adi pretended to sigh: “It seems that you have changed your taste recently, are you a female agent or a female doctor?”
Li Xu was indifferent, drinking wine on his own, observing the situation in the bar.
At this point, the sky is not completely dark yet, and there are not many customers in the bar.
Gathering in twos and threes, discussing the hot topic of Wick’s return.
Many killers are jealous of the four million dollars offered by the Russian gangster Vig Tarasov.
But no one dared to do anything in the Continental Hotel.
The Continental Hotel is the world’s largest killer intermediary platform, and it clearly stipulates that all violent incidents are prohibited in the hotel.
Anyone who violates this rule is basically cold.
“Here.”
“Is he the one you’re waiting for?”
An hour later, Adi came over and leaned on Li Xu, pointing at a middle-aged man with a hood.
“Shall we go over there for a chat?”
Li Xu got up and looked at the cross, then pointed to the sofa in the corner.
Cross nodded, and walked to the corner with Li Xu.
Sitting down on the sofa, Li Xu looked at the tired face under the hood of the cross and the bloodshot eyes, and said with a chuckle, “It seems that you have verified the information I gave you, what do you think?”
“Lucis, what is your purpose?”
Cross looked up at Li Xu, his bloodshot pupils looked like a bloodthirsty lone wolf after starvation.
For him, the Brotherhood of Assassins has always been his faith.
According to the ancient destiny, kill one person to save thousands of people, this is the rule of the Assassin Brotherhood that has been passed down for thousands of years.
But now Li Xu told him that in order to make money, Sloan, the leader of the organization, even forged the list of Fate Loom.
So what are the people he killed all these years?
What is the sacrifice of abandoning his wife and son?
Li Xu poured himself a glass of wine: “My purpose is very simple.”
“Cell repair fluid formula and arc ballistics to quickly repair all wounds on the body.”
Cross thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
“You and I killed Sloan, and I can give you both.”
Then kill me?
Li Xu looked at the seemingly sincere appearance of the cross, smiled and snapped his fingers.
“make a deal.”
“However, I think our deal needs a guarantee.”
“What do you think of your son Wesley?”
The cross tensed up and stared at Li Xu.
“Wesley, come here.”
Li Xu didn’t care about the ferocious gaze of the cross, and greeted a slightly nervous young man who had just arrived at the door of the bar.
“Boss, good evening.”
Wesley trotted over, his face both nervous and excited.
This month, Wesley felt that his life was full of ups and downs.
First of all, the Eston Trading Company where he worked was acquired, and it is said that some unnecessary personnel will be laid off.
When he first heard the news, Wesley felt that his life was over, and he must be the one who was laid off.
Unexpectedly, not only was he not fired, but he also replaced the fat woman who always made things difficult for him, and was promoted to the general manager of the customer service department.
Hearing the careful compliments from his colleagues, Wesley felt that his life was complete, and all of this was of course thanks to the big boss who promoted him.
“Boss, if you have anything to do, just tell me.”
Wesley had a dog-legged smile.
Li Xu nodded in satisfaction, and ordered: “I’ll give you a week’s paid leave, and you will stay in this hotel, and you can’t leave for half a step.”
“no problem.”
Wesley didn’t hesitate.
“very good.”
Li Xumin glanced at Wesley’s cross secretly with a sideways face, and patted Wesley’s shoulder with a smile: “Work hard, the general manager of the customer service department is just the beginning for you.”
Wesley blushed and nodded excitedly.
After Wesley was taken away by the attendants, the cross returned to normal from the transparent state, and said through gritted teeth, “You shouldn’t have brought Wesley into this world.”
“I have no malice.”
Li Xu filled two glasses of wine and pushed one of them to the cross.
“Since I can find out that Wesley is your son, so can Sloan.”
“Living here, his safety can be guaranteed.”
“After killing Sloan, I got the arc ballistic technique and the cell repair fluid formula, and you take away your son.”
The cross stared at Li Xu, and after a while, he said a word: “I heard that you have a good relationship with Winston?”
“not bad.”
Li Xu raised his wine glass towards the cross.
“Wesley can’t take any harm.”
“Otherwise you get nothing.”
The cross was silent for a while, then raised his glass helplessly.
Winston is the manager of the New York Continental Hotel. Now that Wesley has moved in, it may be difficult for him to leave.
“certainly.”
The two wine glasses clinked together. .
Chapter 3
After reaching a preliminary cooperation intention, Cross introduced the situation of [Assassin Brotherhood] to Li Xu.
The Brotherhood of Assassins is a very ancient organization, according to legend, was founded by a group of weavers.
And the core of this organization is the Loom of Destiny, a magical loom that can predict the heinous people.
For thousands of years, the Assassins of the Assassin Brotherhood have believed in the idea of killing one person and saving the others, and executed all the lists on the loom of fate without fear of life and death, so as to save the world.
Even in modern times, the Assassin Brotherhood is still very active and powerful.
Therefore, if you want to eradicate Sloan, the leader of the Brotherhood, you must first clip his wings.
“So, let’s kill a wave of minions first, and finally push the boss?”
Li Xu interrupted the long speech of the cross.
Cross nodded helplessly: “Almost.”
“And in order to verify the authenticity of your news, I sneaked into the room where the Loom of Fate is kept, and Sloan has already discovered it.”
Li Xu stroked his chin: “Then we’ll make it quick.”
“You cut off some assassins first, and then show your flaws in the operation, let them send elites to surround and kill you.”
“I’ll take another surprise and kill these people.”
“In the end, go straight to Huanglong and kill Sloan at the headquarters of the Brotherhood.”
Cross was silent for a while, then nodded in agreement: “Yes, but I want to see your sincerity.”
“There’s an Assassin Brotherhood stronghold in Queens, let’s get rid of it together.”
“Then what are you waiting for?” Li Xu stood up directly.
…
The Queen.
Outside a paper mill.
“呵呵”
After drifting ninety degrees, a black Porsche rushed straight to the gate of the factory.
“Boom”
The factory gate was hit by the head of a car and slapped on an assassin who couldn’t react in time.
Li Xu and Cross rolled down from the two sides of the vehicle, and they drew their guns and fired continuously.
The first five people who came out fell almost instantly.
“Good marksmanship!”
These words sounded in the hearts of Li Xu and Cross at the same time.
A stronghold of the Assassin Brotherhood usually has about twenty assassins, which is nothing to the two of them.
The reason for this joint action is mainly to test each other’s strength.
As far as Li Xu is concerned, his cognition of the strength of the cross mainly comes from the movie memory of his previous life and some information on the dark net.
He must have a detailed understanding of the true strength of the cross before he can make targeted arrangements for the follow-up plan.
The same is true of the cross.
Li Xu is very famous in the dark world.
A firearms modifier with extraordinary skills, a prodigal son who does not touch his body, a financial genius with far-sighted vision, a top killer with extremely fast marksmanship… These are other people’s evaluations of Li Xu.
But seeing is believing. Li Xu’s actual strength needs to be evaluated by himself.
And this process of mutual evaluation between the two sides is a one-sided massacre for the assassins in the factory.
The marksmanship of the two is extremely fierce, but both have their own characteristics.
The arc ballistic technique of the cross is weird and deadly, and the assassin hiding behind the bunker cannot escape death.
Li Xu has another style.
His bullets don’t bend, but they are powerful and fire fast, forming a storm of metal in an instant.
The two didn’t make much effort, and the gunfire in the factory gradually subsided.
“It seems that this cooperation can continue?”
When the last assassin fell to the ground, Li Xu held the gun and looked at the cross.
“certainly.”
Cross was silent for a while, and put the gun back into his waist.
