Chapter 8: Assassination

Jack knew where to go to find Gallo's people.

In other words, he knew where the stronghold of the "Eternal Darkness" was.

Although the headquarters of Qianying have also been in many cities over the years, they have all used the same cover - textile mills.

This is a master assassin from more than 100 years ago...... The tradition of Enzo Ducho, known as the "Butterfly", was continued by subsequent chieftains after his death.

As a person who has been in the killer industry for decades, Jack knows this kind of information even if he has little contact with the people of the Underworld.

So, after leaving Angel's residence, he locked his destination in the only textile factory in Naples.

Since there is no car, and it is not easy to get a taxi in the early morning, Jack planned to go to a place far away from Angel's house to "pass" one.

Unexpectedly, he was lucky, and after walking two blocks, he happened to come across a taxi parked on the side of the road.

Jack walked over and knocked on the glass of the car to wake up the driver who was dozing in the car, and after a few complaints from the driver who got up, he let Jack up.

However, when the driver heard that the place where Jack was going was in the suburbs, he immediately retreated.

After some haggling, Jack and the other party agreed on a mutually acceptable price, and then the driver set off without a meter.

The car was heading east, and after about forty-five minutes, the sky ahead was already white.

However, Jack didn't see this scene, because he took advantage of the time of the ride to close his eyes and recuperate......

He was indeed tired.

Jack hadn't slept properly since he met Angel in the early hours of yesterday morning and was raided by Marino.

At that time, he left Marino alive and brought an ambulance for him, apparently for a reason...... Although there is nothing useful to put out of Marino's mouth, it is a good choice to use it as bait and follow the vine.

So, after Jack left the hotel, he took refuge nearby; He watched Marino be lifted into the ambulance and followed the car to the Federal Charity Hospital in Naples.

Jack had planned to wait in the hospital for Marino's accomplice to appear, but unexpectedly, he waited for a day, but it was Gallo's men who came.

After testing Aladino and the others, Jack learns that the Soul has split from within, and he understands...... Marino couldn't dig up anything from this line, so he left a few words for Aladino and left the hospital.

It was in the hours between his time at the hospital and his appearance at the White Dove Bar that he found a place to squint a little...... And this was the longest break he had in the last forty-eight hours.

"Are you lost?"

After another moment, the sky was already overcast, and Jack, who had been sitting in the back row without opening his eyes, suddenly said such a sentence.

There were only two people in the car, he said that...... I said it to the driver.

"Are you talking to me, sir?" The driver was stunned by what he said, and confirmed softly at a volume for fear of disturbing the guest's sleep.

"Is there anyone else here?" Jack still hadn't opened his eyes, but his voice sounded clear and clear.

"Huh...... You're laughing. The driver laughed and replied, "I'm an old driver, how can I be confused ......?"

"Three times ago, at S268, why did you turn right?" Jack interrupted the other party's nonsense and asked directly.

"You ......," the driver became a little slurred, "...... Aren't you sleeping? Why do you know ......?"

"You look in the rearview mirror very diligently." Jack said, "Keep making sure I'm not open, right?" ”

Now, the driver stopped answering, and his expression was ...... It's getting colder, too.

"You say, what reason should a taxi driver who has already negotiated the price with the passengers and doesn't have a meter take a detour?" Jack then asked.

The driver was silent for another two seconds, and then replied in a deep voice, "Mr. Anderson...... You really live up to your reputation. ”

"Something practical." The words of compliment mean nothing to Jack's eyes.

"Our chief wants to see you." The driver answered.

"Who is your leader?" Jack asked.

"Olivia Dojo." The driver knew that he only needed to report the leader's full name, and Jack would naturally understand who it was.

When Jack heard this, he didn't respond, and there was no other reaction......

He acquiesced to the invitation.

…………

Ten minutes later, the car pulled up next to a suburban road.

Before the driver could speak, Jack got out of the car himself, because he had already heard Olivia's heartbeat in the car.

Although he has been a killer for many years, Jack, the last descendant of the Ducho family, is still seeing him today.

Olivia looks twenty-six or seventeen, but she is about the same age as Angel, and her beauty is ...... It is also on par with the latter; However, the temperament of the two is very different.

If Angel looks like an Eastern European spicy model, then Olivia looks like an Eastern European aristocrat.

Whether it's standing, posture, eyes...... Olivia gives people a sense of dignity and solemnity; "Excellent" is the first impression she makes, and even if she doesn't say a word, it can make the person standing in front of her feel pressured.

"It's been a long time, 'killing gods'." As Jack approached, Olivia offered to greet him.

"Why did you choose to meet here?" Jack basically doesn't say hello to people he doesn't know well, and talks directly.

By the way, because he doesn't even say hello to people, it's difficult for others to get acquainted with him.

"The view is wide, there are no buildings nearby, and there are no bunkers." Olivia replied, "That is...... Difficult to locate, difficult to eavesdrop, difficult to ambush. ”

"What about long-range sniping?" Jack said again.

"Unless my exact coordinates are leaked in advance, this assumption can't be true." Olivia said, glancing at the taxi not far away, "Only you, me, and him know about seeing you here today, and this location was decided by me not long ago, and the possibility of being sniped is basically zero." She paused, "Take a step back...... If there is an extreme situation, that car can also be used as a cover for us. ”

"Hmm......" Jack nodded, "you seem to be very professional." ”

"You ask me these two questions just to see if I'm professional?" Olivia stroked her long hair that had been blown to her forehead by the wind, and frowned slightly.

"I'm not done yet." Jack is really a person who doesn't know what "politeness" is, and the same is true for women, "Why would someone as 'professional' as you arrange a ...... like yesterday morning?" What about very amateurish assassinations? ”

"This question of yours is exactly what I asked you to say." Olivia paused for a second, then added, "The assassination you did not instigate ...... me."

"Oh?" Hearing this, several assumptions immediately flashed through Jack's mind, and immediately probed, "Isn't Marino your person?" ”

"He is." Olivia replied, "But three days ago, he ...... and the other two brothers you killed...... Suddenly, he lost contact with the organization. ”

"You mean......" said Jack, "your people...... Accepting orders from someone other than you to come and assassinate me? ”

"That's right." Olivia nodded in response.

Jack quickly recalled the few exchanges he had with Marino, and then said, "But in my opinion, Marino did not betray you, on the contrary...... He is very loyal. ”

"Of course I do." "So I'm angry and ...... Astonished. "If I'm not mistaken," she said thoughtfully...... Someone deciphered our internal code and assigned Marino and them a mission in my name. When she said this, her expression became very solemn, "I think you understand...... If this assumption is true, then the problems on my side may be much more serious than yours. ”

"Well......" Jack muttered, adding, "but how do I know...... Are you making up a story at the moment? With his hands in his pockets, he whispered, "Perhaps...... You saw that you didn't succeed in killing me, so you ran to me and performed such a play, so that you could not only get rid of your responsibility, but also take advantage of the situation to win me over...... Anyway, the three people who came to assassinate me are already dead, and there is no proof of death, so you can say whatever you want. ”

"But I have no reason to kill you at all." Olivia argued, "You've seen the situation now, it's just a matter of dealing with a Gallo...... I'm already overstretched, how can I still have the strength to hunt down you, a killing god who has no grievances with me and has never been known all my life? ”

She let out a sigh of relief, and continued, "I also learned about Marino's death and the details of their assassination not long ago......" At this point, her tone became slightly agitated, "Mr. Anderson, may I say something less professional...... I'm also a woman, how could I use the vicious methods of 'praying mantis'? Again...... That whole assassination operation is weird, isn't it?

"Why do you want to send a woman to the door to scare the snake first? Don't say it's you, it's just an ordinary killer, and it's impossible to be fooled in the face of such a suspicious situation; Isn't it good to raid directly?

"And ...... Since the person who planned this operation didn't care about implicating innocent people, and could even get his hands on something as rare as a 'praying mantis', why didn't he/she take a more extreme approach? For example, planting bombs in a hotel beforehand, bombarding your room across the street with RPGs...... There are many ways to choose from with a higher success rate, aren't they? ”

Her words are well-founded and earnest; The excitement suppressed by cultivation is indeed like the emotion that a wronged person should have.

Of course, Jack didn't disbelieve her; Fang Cai's various questions and malicious speculations are just temptations.

From beginning to end, the scale in Jack's heart was flat and without any tendencies; This kind of objectivity is important for a killer because in this industry...... As long as you are deceived once, it is likely to be the last.

"Well, I'll trust you." Feeling that the temptation was almost over, Jack was slightly relieved.

"Thank you, Mr. Anderson." Hearing this, Olivia's brow finally stretched a little.

At that moment, her moving face became even brighter, like a kaolin flower blooming in the morning mist.

However, for a flower, the splendor of that moment often means the subsequent withering.

Bang –

Suddenly, gunfire rang out.

When the voice arrives, the person ...... It's already poured.

The picture of being hit by a sniper rifle at a distance is by no means as beautiful as it is portrayed in many film and television works.

If you think the person who was shot will go around in a circle, fall to the ground with a melodious and light feeling, and then say the last words for about two minutes, and then slowly close your eyes...... That's a big mistake.

In reality, a person who is hit by a large-caliber sniper rifle at an ultra-long distance will die if he hits his torso, and if he hits his limbs...... At the lightest, the flesh flies sideways, and the heavy one is broken in two.

In terms of posture of falling to the ground...... Usually they are taken out a meter away in the direction where the bullet is flying, and they are thrown into the street with a top-heavy fall.

As for the last words, it's lucky to be unconscious on the spot, but if you're awake, it's all pain, where can you say anything in that situation?

Right now, Olivia was one of the lucky ones — she had been shot in the head, cleanly.

At the same time, the driver in the taxi had already stepped on the accelerator...... Obviously, he knew about the sneak attack, and the gunfire was a signal for him to escape.

I have to say that this is indeed an excellent assassination.

Olivia, who was lying in a pool of blood, would never have thought that it would be such a temporary decision...... In a place where it is difficult to locate, eavesdrop, and ambush, one of her most trusted companions will collude with others and kill her in front of the "killing god".

This is the world of killers.

When you feel safe, that's the closest you're to death.

Bang –

Olivia is dead, but the assassination is not over because Jack is still alive.

This second gunshot, the second bullet...... It's like they're coming for him.

But Jack is different from Olivia, he dodges, dodging in a movement that gunners can't see.

Not only did Jack dodge the second shot, but after dodging, his figure instantly appeared on the roof of the taxi that had driven more than ten meters away......
