"The arrows are Teflon-coated titanium blades that cut through skin and bone with ease, and the shafts are special polymers that are stronger than ordinary carbon fiber......"

Leo, who returned to White Manor, pinched a black arrow in three fingers, and his sharp eyes converged on the edge.

That person is going for himself, and if you want to follow the logical reasoning, the other party may be the remnants of the triad, or the interests of the people who have suffered in the process of rebuilding Palm Lake.

It's a pity that Leo doesn't have to bother to investigate clues and track down the murderer, because he already knows the answer.

"Malcolm Merlin."

Leo whispered the name and placed the black arrow on the table.

In the original timeline, Malcolm Merlin was supposed to be one of Oliver Quinn's greatest enemies, the "magician" of the League of Assassins, the future "Black Arrow".

The helmsman of the Merlin Group, who is gentle and well-dressed on the surface, is actually ruthless behind the scenes, and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

In order to complete the mission assigned by the Assassins, and also to avenge the death of his wife, Malcolm Merlin was able to sacrifice millions of people in the slums of Palm Lake without hesitation.

"Are you sure it's him?"

Ms. Siwa stood in front of the sliding chalkboard, her hands on her chest, looking at Malcolm Merlin's photo.

The middle-aged man, who was over forty years old, did not have a big belly like an ordinary rich man, or was emptied by wine.

Judging from his appearance alone, he has a well-proportioned physique, powerful limbs, and naturally has a strong momentum.

Compared with the killers of the League of Assassins, it is more in line with the image of elites.

"Felicity checked for me, and the synthetic material for the shaft is patented, registered with the company Saaditris, which means 'archer' in Latin. If you dig deeper and search for the sale records of Saaditris, you will find the location of the delivery. ”

Leo said in a clear manner, there was too much information left behind by this black arrow, and it was easy to find the assassin by digging through the vine.

"Since you know so well, tell me the specific place directly, and I'll go over and kill him."

Ms. Siwa frowned slightly, and her thin lips outlined a cold arc.

She traveled the world and always followed a simple principle of not saying much if she could do it, which earned her the name of Siva, the goddess of destruction.

Most of the guys who can provoke Ms. Siwa have only two ends, one is to be killed by her, and the other is to be killed by her in the future.

Apparently Malcolm Merlin, this is already on the death list to be killed.

"Sandra, don't be so anxious."

Leo stares at the last remaining gamers on the blackboard, vigilantes and gangsters are out one after another, and now there's one Malcolm Merlin left to deal with.

"Merlin is cunning and smart. If he wanted to hide his identity, he wouldn't go out of his way to buy weapons from Saaditris, leaving such an obvious flaw. ”

"So it's a trap?"

Ms. Siva furrowed her brow, and then she would be able to kill Malcolm Merlin later.

Due to David Kane's affiliation, she did not have any affection for anyone who belonged to the Assassin League.

"Merlin probably didn't want to kill me at the time, the redevelopment of the Palm Lake slum has already begun, I'm the key person, and if something happens, it's bound to cause an uproar."

Leo rested one hand on his chest and the other on his chin, his thoughts spinning.

"So it's a warning, like Oliver Quinn playing vigilante, threatening the rich with death to get away."

Ms. Siva picked up the black arrow on the table and played with it nonchalantly.

She's been teaching Helena physical combat lately, and the mafia girl has a lot of talent and learns quickly.

I believe that it won't be long before a new law and order maintainer will appear in Star City.

"After the warning, it's time to pay a visit."

A faint smile appeared on Leo's face, and he said with some expectation: "I don't know when Malcolm Merlin is going to come over to give someone head." ”

…………

Merlin Group Building, Private Meeting Room.

"You're crazy! At this time, the Quinn Associates will terminate the cooperation, do you know that the redevelopment project of the Palm Lake slum has been officially launched? ”

Moira looked at the man sitting across from her in disbelief, if she did do so, the Quinn family's reputation for decades would be ruined in an instant.

The tremendous pressure from City Hall and the White Family, as well as the condemnation of the residents of Star City, could have caused the stock price of the Quinn Consortium to fall like an avalanche.

"I'm calm, Moira."

Malcolm looked calm and said calmly: "I will not let the Quinn family's honor for many years be ruined in your hands." Leo White will be the first to quit, all the public opinion and pressure will be on the White family, and you have nothing to do with Walter. ”

"The Quinn Consortium alone can't support the rebuilding of Palm Lake, and you will have no choice but to quit when the time comes, and you can still win a lot of sympathy, isn't it a double win?"

Moira frowned, she hesitated for a moment, but still spoke dissuasively, "Stop, Malcolm." If you destroyed Palm Lake in honor of Rebecca, your dead wife, but now Palm Lake is different, it can be reborn! ”

This well-maintained lady looked much older than before.

Her son's imprisonment, combined with her torn line between her family and Malcolm Merlin, left her exhausted.

If it weren't for the fear that the other party would let Robert's "accident" repeat itself again and hurt Walter and Thea, how could Moira be repeatedly manipulated.

"The stubborn germs must be completely eliminated in order to cure the terminally ill Star City, this is a truth taught to me by a wise man."

Unmoved, Malcolm said unusually seriously, "Moira, I've backed down many times. Your son, Oliver, is a vigilante, and I was supposed to let him die in Iron Mountain Prison, but I let him go because of your feelings. ”

"Your husband, Walter, is actively involved in the redevelopment of Lake Palm and has partnered with Leo White, and I should have kept him shut forever, but I chose to be merciful in your heart."

Malcolm, who stood up, looked down at Moira condescendingly, his eyes were extremely cold.

During his years at Nandarbat, the ninja master taught him how to harness the hatred and fear in his heart.

It turns out to work!

After his rigorous training and trials, Malcolm underwent a transformation in his life, becoming a true master of archery, a murderous assassin, and a ruthless conspirator.

The city under his feet is about to change dramatically in his hands.

From the ruins of Lake Palm, reborn!

"I warned Leo White last night that I would go out of my way to visit him today, and if that kid didn't know each other, I would reunite them as a family."

Malcolm said lightly.

His warning shot was dodged by Leo-White, and it was clear that the young helmsman of the White family was not as simple as it seemed.

But these are trivial problems that Malcolm is confident he can easily solve.

"Moira, we have been old friends for many years, for the sake of Oliver and your family, please continue to support my cause."

Although Malcolm said it sincerely, the chill in his words made Moira tremble slightly.

She knew how terrible this man was, and Robert was shipwrecked on a cruise ship five years ago when he just wanted to quit the plan to raze Palm Lake.

You know, they used to be good friends, but Malcolm didn't give up at all.

"I'm going to convince Walter."

Moira nodded reluctantly.

"Thank you for your support. Rest assured, I'm going to greet Leo White tonight. ”

Malcolm nodded in satisfaction, looking beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows of the reception room to the sunlit Star City.
