It's still midnight, it's still that alley.

Jack, like last night, pushed the door open and walked into the White Dove Bar.

Tonight, there were three times as many customers in the bar as there were yesterday, and not only were the seats full, but even the place to stand was almost gone.

There is no doubt that these people are here to see the demeanor of the "God of Killing".

Of course, there is nothing "to see", because in appearance, he is just a man in a black suit who looks ordinary all over his body.

However, in this particular bar, he is the center of attention.

He didn't even have to say "borrowed", and the crowd automatically gave way in front of him.

Jack didn't show any mood swings about it, he just followed the path to the bar.

At this time, there were already five people waiting for him there.

"Hmph......" Ice Finger sneered as soon as he saw Jack.

Last night, there was only one person in Bingzhi, and the person who helped him call an ambulance and carry him out into the street after he coughed up blood could only be regarded as his friend of wine and meat.

But tonight was different, there were four official killers standing beside him.

In Bingzhi's opinion, this is already an invincible combination in the world, what kind of killing gods and ghosts, in the final analysis, it is just one person, in the face of five "masters", how can there be any reason not to be cowardly?

Jack, however, treats them as if they were air, and doesn't even look at them......

He leaned leisurely back on the bar and said to the bartender, "Charles, pour me a drink." ”

The bartender took a half step forward, helped him wipe the countertop, and placed an empty cup and a coaster: "The price of this cup is not low." ”

"Thank you." Jack replied, "You still take such care of me." ”

"It's not called care." The bartender poured him a drink and said, "I'm just throwing you jobs that no one takes because they're too difficult." ”

"Hey! Bastard! At this time, Bingzhi finally couldn't stand it anymore, and he said directly to Jack, "Do you think it's okay to pretend to be invisible to me?" ”

"Of course I saw you." Jack answered this sentence and took a sip of the wine in his glass, "I just don't want to pay attention to you." ”

"You ......" Bingzhi was about to curse at that time, and he also put on a look of wanting to do it.

But Aladino rushed forward with an arrow and raised his arm to stop the ice finger.

At this time, Jack turned his head slightly and said, "So...... Now it's up to you to explain it to me, or is it up to me to understand? ”

"I'd like to hear your understanding first." Aladino said tentatively.

"If I am to understand myself, it is ......," continued Jack, "that what I said to you not long ago did not have the effect I expected. ”

"Hmm......," Aladino muttered, "Mr. Anderson, I don't know what you're expecting...... All I can say is that we have never been an organization that can be intimidated by a few words. He paused for half a second, then changed his words, "Of course, at this moment, we are not here to trouble you. ”

"What?" As soon as these words came out, Jack didn't react, but Bingzhi was stunned, "What do you mean that you didn't come to trouble him?" You're not here to help me......"

"The leader has an order." Aladino didn't let Bingzhi continue, "I hope you apologize to Mr. Anderson for your rude behavior yesterday." ”

Before he could finish speaking, Ice Finger's expression changed sharply.

Jack, on the other side, blurted out: "No need." ”

At this moment, although Jack didn't know who the current leader of the Shadow was, he already felt that it was a very difficult person.

Let Bing point to apologize to him, which seems to be a concession, but in fact, it is a retreat.

From the reaction of Ice Finger, it can be seen that before Ardino said this, Ice Finger didn't know that there was such a thing, but ...... The expressions of the four people beside him showed that they all knew.

In other words, before coming here, Ice Finger had already been treated as an outcast, a victim......

Now, if he apologizes, he can still save his life, at most, he can't stand in this industry anymore; But if he doesn't apologize, the consequences will ...... Jack had already guessed ninety percent.

"No, it has to be." Aradino didn't flinch, he glanced at Jack before continuing to glare at Ice Finger, "You should know very well what will happen if you disobey the leader's orders. ”

"I ...... But...... He ......, "Bingzhi is incoherent and doesn't know what to say."

"Hurry up, don't act like a little kid." The male killer who was following Aladino pushed his finger and urged, "So many people are watching." ”

However, it was because of so many pairs of eyes that he couldn't open his mouth.

All of this is naturally in Gallo's calculations...... When he gave the order to Aladino, he had foreseen that this would be the case; His "temptation" was originally to use Bingzhi's life and dignity as a bargaining chip.

"Okay...... "Okay" After struggling for a few seconds, Ice Finger suppressed his emotions and nodded, "Okay, I apologize......" He said, walking up to Jack, "Mr. Anderson, I'm really ......" When the half sentence came out, he grabbed a wine bottle from the bar and slammed it into Jack's head, "...... I'm sorry! ”

Bang –

Before the bottle could be dropped, the gun went off.

It wasn't Jack who shot, it was Aradino.

Ice Finger is an easy person to see through, young, impulsive, stupid, arrogant...... His thoughts, in the eyes of the sophisticated Aladino, were simply clear.

So, Aladino was presciently ready to shoot, and just as Icefinger was about to attack Jack, he shot Icefinger in the back of the head.

Suddenly, Ice Finger's brains and blood spurted out of his forehead and squirted down towards Jack's place.

But Jack dodged away.

No one could tell when or how he dodged, but when they did, he was no longer there.

"Is that what your leader meant?" A second later, Jack, holding a wine glass and a coaster with his little finger, stood not far away and said to Aladino.

"Yes." When Aladino answered, he had put away his gun.

"So...... That's how he responded to me? Jack asked again.

Aradino didn't answer the question, just glanced at the other three companions, then turned and walked out of the store.

The four Assassins were gone, and Ice Finger's corpse was discarded here like garbage, without even looking at it.

…………

Fifteen minutes later, the people in the bar were basically dispersed, and the body of Ice Finger had been carried away and disposed of.

At this time, there were only two people left at the bar.

"I wanted to ask you yesterday." Jack smoked a cigarette and said to the bartender, "Your rules in the store...... Has it changed? ”

"Well, it's changed." Charles also lit a cigarette for himself at this time, and said as he smoked.

The "rules" they call are a tacit understanding of all the killers who have come to the White Dove Bar to "pick up work" over the years; That is-"In the White Dove Bar, any outside grievances must be put aside, and the killers are not allowed to kill people here, nor can they take the initiative to provoke others, and they will go out to solve anything else." If anyone dares to take the initiative to stir up trouble here, then the provoked party has a reasonable right to fight back. ”

Last night, based on the principle of "the provoked party can fight back", Jack stuffed a few almonds into Bingzhi's trachea and told him to shut up; Although it was theoretically possible for him to kill Ice Finger, he tried to avoid it.

Jack thought that Bing Finger was a young man who didn't understand the rules and was arrogant, and he was a special case...... However, after seeing Aladino's actions and the reactions of the killers around him, he realized...... Today's rules may be different from what they used to be.

"Let me confirm...... I've been gone for four years, not forty years, right? In front of acquaintances, Jack made a rare joke.

"Huh...... Uh-" The bartender laughed dryly and spat out his cigarette, "Don't be sarcastic, I'm just a middleman, what can I do if the world changes?" ”

"Then tell me about this 'way of the world'." Jack continued.

Hearing this, the bartender glanced at Jack and sorted out his thoughts for a moment before he spoke: "Do you remember that before you left, Vittorio Bruno was re-elected as the head of the county again?" ”

"Yes." Jack Road.

"After that re-election, he basically swept away all the political forces in the county that could compete with him." The bartender continued, "In other words...... On the white road, he has one hand covering the sky. ”

"So he put his other hand out into the 'black' place?" Jack Road.

"Hmph...... "The bartender snorted coldly, and did not respond to the obvious revelation, but said directly, "Naples is like the back garden of Bruno's family today, and Giuseppe Gallo, the leader of the 'Underworld', is his guard dog. ”

"Gallo?" When Jack heard this name, his expression changed slightly, "Gallo has become the leader of the Underworld?" ”

"Ah......" replied the bartender, "three years ago, the previous leader of Qianying passed away, and there is only one descendant left in their Du Qiao family...... is a girl in her early twenties, and she is far from Gallo in terms of strength and city government...... Therefore, it was only natural that Gallo had the support of the majority of the people within the Underworld and was elected as the new chief; And the young lady of the Du Qiao family splintered from the organization with a small group of people who were still loyal to her. ”

"Heh......," Jack laughed, "if I'm not mistaken...... This organization has now become a private force to help Bruno 'do the dirty work'? ”

"Pretty much." The bartender replied, "Also, what are the branches of the world in the world...... Those who disobeyed Gallo's leadership were either eliminated or left the organization, and the rest of them were ......" he paused, took another drag on his cigarette, and added, "You know...... Vittorio Bruno also had many friends in the upper echelons of the Federation, and those of his friends sometimes needed some 'special help'. ”

"Uh-" Jack spat out his cigarette, "understood." He nodded slightly, "Then what are your rules here......"

"Most of the people are still well-behaved, but the people of the Underworld are ......here for me," the bartender shrugged, "...... In other words, anywhere, don't have to worry too much. Even if they go to the federal police station, they don't have to worry......" He said this, turning his head to glance at the place where Ice Finger died, and said at the residual smell of blood, "Let's just say that 'Ice Finger', he has been arrested by the police more than three times, and the result is that not every time he can come out unharmed." ”

"Oh?" Jack said coldly, "This guy is so crazy, I thought he was quite capable...... As a result, can't even the evacuation after the mission be done? ”

"He wasn't caught on a mission." The bartender pouted, "When he was caught, he usually got drunk and fell on the body of a man, or on the body of a woman who was half dead. ”

Jack naturally immediately understood the meaning of the bartender's words, he was silent for a few seconds, and said leisurely: "The way of this world...... It's really changed. ”

"So...... As an old friend, I would like to advise you a few words. The bartender said, "If you can 'retreat', return again, and don't come back this time...... If you really have a reason to come back, then I can help you with that...... With your skills, go to other counties, or simply go to other continents to pick up work...... There are no problems either. He paused, then shifted, "But you have to stay in the county of the crown and stay in Naples...... You will definitely be in touch with the Underworld. ”

The bartender took another deep drag on his cigarette.

"Because...... You are the 'God of Killing'. After spitting out the cigarette, he frowned and continued, "'God' will not be subservient to men, even if you are willing...... A person like Gallo will never tolerate you; And Gallo can't tolerate you, which means that this 'world' can't tolerate you now.

"Today, he let his subordinates make trouble here, and everyone can see that he is retreating as an advance and killing chickens and monkeys......

"You and I understand what he means...... He wants you to retreat, or at least go.

"If you don't go back or go, then he will come to you; And...... Killers on the road, no one will come to help you, and no one will dare to help you. ”

The words of old friends are very practical and sincere.

It's a friendship that money can't buy, but it's something that Jack hasn't cared about before.

"Uh-" After a moment of silence, Jack spat out the last puff of his cigarette, snuffed out the cigarette butt, and threw it into the ashtray, "I'll give this back to you......"

As he spoke, he took out the coaster that the bartender had given him from his jacket pocket and placed it on the table; On the coaster, there are two Chinese characters written - "judge", and below the characters, there is also a long string of Arabic numerals.

This is also one of the rules of the White Pigeon Bar, where the bartender will hand the guests a coaster with "Goal and Reward" written on it, and the drinker will have a glass of time to consider whether or not to take the deal.

Now, when the bartender sees that Jack has returned the "business" he has taken, he thinks that the latter really wants to accept the suggestion.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Jack said again: "In this situation, you still insist on giving me an order...... Then you will be targeted, too. ”

With that, he got up and left.

"Where are you going?" The bartender didn't look back, but he still asked eagerly.

Jack thought for two seconds and replied, "Go and walk around Bruno's back garden and see if there are any thorns that haven't been leveled yet." ”
