15, Death Shooter and Black Cauldron Man
The legend of the billionaire's son surviving on a desert island and successfully returning has long become unattractive, and the most popular person in Star City recently is undoubtedly the madman who shoots the rich around with a bow and arrow.
Some people call him the "hooded man" or "butcher", while others call him a "vigilante" and a "vigilante".
In short, the controversial Robin Hood has become the number one wanted target of the Star City Police Department and often dominates the headlines of news newspapers.
In recent times, in addition to the first victim, Adam Hunter, there is Marcus Reedman, a financial broker who tried to defraud $30 million from the city's pension plan.
His head was crumbled into mud by a roof exhaust fan, and an arrow was stuck in his chest.
The same fate has befallen James Holder, whose company has installed defective smoke detectors on low-income families in the Palm Lake slum, resulting in preventable fires and a large number of deaths and injuries.
The black-hearted businessman who brought funerals to many families in Star City was found drowned in his swimming pool, and without exception, his chest was also pierced by an aluminum arrow.
The occurrence of such vicious incidents has caused public opinion to continue to ferment and send the unknown "Robin Hood" to the forefront.
Some people think that he is the embodiment of justice in Star City, and punish those lawbreakers who do evil with cruel means, while more people think that he is a madman, an extremely dangerous person, and call on the police to arrest this guy as soon as possible and send him to prison.
The two sides insisted on their own words and debated fiercely on the Internet and TV, which put the Star City Police Department under tremendous pressure.
"Who the hell is it? He may know who I am, or he may have a list of the same......"
Oliver Quinn held the newspaper and slammed his fist on the table, his forehead bruised.
After the death of Adam Hunter, he deliberately sought out Marcus Reidman, trying to lure out the mastermind hiding in the shadows, only to find that the target had already died on the rooftop, and then James Holder, leaving a similar aluminum alloy arrow at the scene, symbolizing the identity of the vigilante.
"He's watching me in the shadows and knows my every move? Or is it a coincidental parody crime? ”
Oliver couldn't help but be a little depressed, even though he had endured hardships on Purgatory Island and had a strong temperament that was extremely resilient.
But in the face of an invisible opponent, this man who is determined to become a policing man, inevitably has a sense of frustration that his fists are hitting the air.
"I want to bring hope and justice to Star City, not to be a dangerous person who spreads terror and violence!"
Oliver pulled out the notebook, a list left by his father of the city's outlaws.
He flipped through a few pages and looked at the names on them, his confused eyes gradually becoming firm.
"I'm not going to give in, I'll be able to get you out sooner or later!" Oliver said coldly. "Next, Martin Summers."
…………
"Amanda, you're really worried about me......"
Leo, who was sitting in the office of the president of White Industries, answered the call from the encrypted channel.
This top manager of the Tianyan Society should not contact him for no reason.
"There's a professional killer who has infiltrated Star City, and I need your attention."
Amanda Waller's voice was cold, she ignored Leo's pretense frivolity, and said in a deep voice: "His name is Floyd Lawton, he is a top mercenary, and he has done many big crimes, such as assassinating dignitaries in small countries or powerful and rich people involved in disputes, and Interpol has given him a code name, 'Death Shooter'." ”
"Floyd Lawton was recruited by the Eye Society, he is almost the deadliest marksman and the most accurate marksman in the world, find his whereabouts, and bring it to me...... That's what you're doing this quarter. ”
"Death shooter, I've heard the name, a sharpshooter, likes to soak bullets in arrow, a few years ago in Chicago, Marcovia and other places, assassinated many well-known celebrities and rich people, has been wanted by Interpol for a long time, but no one can catch him."
Leo is no stranger to this name, Floyd Lawton's code name, which is still quite famous in mercenary circles.
The good reputation of never missing a hand and being fairly priced has made Death Shooter's business more and more prosperous, spreading to all corners of the world.
Floyd Lawton was smart at taking orders and never messed with big people who could get him in trouble, so he got mixed up like a fish in water, and even when he was wanted by Interpol, he always lived a life of impunity.
"It's no small task, Amanda. Death shooter, tricky guy. ”
Leo pouted, he didn't want to run errands for Amanda Waller for nothing.
The relationship between the two is that of a partner, and there is no concept of superiority and superiority.
Leo wants to use the power of the Heavenly Eye Society and the state apparatus to lay a foundation for a foothold in this world, while Amanda Waller takes a fancy to the deep background of the White family.
"When I owe you a favor. Leo, on the list of building special teams, Floyd Lawton's name is at the top of the list. ”
Amanda Waller thought about it for a moment and said again.
"You can only hope that the death shooter will run into my hand like a mad rabbit."
Leo made a bad joke and after a few small talks, he hung up the call.
He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then asked the secretary to call the newly appointed head of the applied sciences department, Miss Felicity Smock, who was also assistant to the president.
"Your time has come to put you to good use, Miss Smock."
Seeing the nervous Felicity, Leo said straight to the point: "I need you to get into Mr. Warren Patel's computer and find some useful information from his private account. ”
"Mr. White...... Well, you should know it's illegal, right? ”
Felicity asked cautiously, wondering if the young president couldn't have been a little more tactful, or embellished with more appropriate words.
Directly let yourself hack into someone else's computer, how to answer this?
"For the average person, it's definitely a violation of federal law, but it doesn't count for you."
A smile appeared on Leo's face, this genius hacker whose appearance was proportional to his IQ was really a little natural.
"Congratulations, Miss Smock! You are already a field technician of the Sky Eye Club, and you are not subject to the general law. ”
Felicity had a question mark on her face, and she watched as Leo handed over her mobile phone, which showed her detailed information, with the words "Tianyan will be stationed in Star City, field technician" at the bottom.
"What is the Sky Eye Society? When did I join? ”
"Just a minute ago, I filled in your name. As for the Sky Eye Society, you can think of it as a state agency like the CIA, but in fact they have similar functions. ”
Leo shrugged and said with a relaxed expression.
"The welfare of our organization is good, the work is easy, there are many opportunities to travel abroad many times a year, and it is not under the jurisdiction of the police in Benzhou City, and it has independent law enforcement powers, such as pension insurance and pensions, which are beyond your imagination."
"So...... I'm a full-fledged agent now? ”
After listening to Leo's introduction, Felicity asked stupidly for a long time.
"Bingo! Miss Smock, the organization has decided to let you complete this mission. ”
"Warren Patel, the CEO of Hyspell Enterprises, was recently involved in the auction of Unistarch Industries, and I now suspect that he hired hitmen in an attempt to use the despicable means of eliminating competitors to get the deal done."
Leo leaned back in his seat, and judging by the vague plot in his memory, the death shooter should have been paid by Warren Patel.
The aim is to assassinate powerful potential buyers and create an atmosphere of panic so that they can get Unidad Industries at a low price.
The vigilante with countless black cauldrons on his back will be put aside for the time being, and will wait until the death shooter is settled.
Anyway, Oliver Quinn can't be cleared, even if Leo doesn't interfere, he is also a ruthless and violent dangerous person in the eyes of the Star City Police Department.
A "vigilante" who breaks into the homes of wealthy people, takes their bodyguards to the hospital, and then intimidates their owners with bows and arrows.
Sounds a little ironic.
"Mr. White, what if...... I choose to refuse to join, you won't kill me, will you? ”
Felicity only felt that everything was happening so fast that her brain seemed to be overloaded.
"Of course - no. You have the right to choose. ”
Leo smiled as if he was sure Felicity would agree.
"Well, I'll admit I'm all over those spy movies right now...... Warren Patel, I'm going to dig up all his old bottoms. ”
Felicity covered her face, but she still couldn't resist the temptation.
A field agent of the Sky Eye Society?
It sounds as exciting and fun as a role-playing game.
"Check his overseas transaction records, or anonymous accounts and the flow of company funds...... By the way, remember to buy an evening dress to use at Unidad Industries' auctions. ”
Leo smiled at the corner of his mouth, and maybe he could meet Oliver Quinn at the auction, with a black cauldron on his head.
After all, his stepfather, Walter Steele, is also one of the buyers of Unistarch Industries, and there is a good chance that he will be targeted by the Death Shooter.
