11. League of Assassins and Killers

The sky was white, and the faint morning light pierced the clouds and dispelled the haze of the night.

Leo leaned against the head of the bed, the sound of the shower water came from the bathroom, and Ms. Xiwa, who had been fighting for most of the night, stepped on the ground wrapped in a white bath towel, not minding the unexpectedly dewy spring light.

"What's wrong with you?"

His brows tightened slightly, and after a moment of silence, Leo still raised the doubts in his heart.

He had a complicated relationship with Ms. Shiva, who met the world's most powerful martial artist while traveling to Japan.

In Tokyo's Ushiiri Wakamatsu Street, Leo visited the Aikido headquarters Imperial Martial Arts Hall, and witnessed this heroic and sharp young woman shoot the legendary Aikido master Ueshiba Kuzo into the air in just ten rounds, knocking her into the air and vomiting blood to the ground!

And the matter did not end there, the later karate master Oyama Shinyoshi of the Jijinkai sect, the master of Gangrou Ryu Miyagi Renyasu, etc., these well-known Japanese martial artists were defeated in her hands.

The most miserable end was undoubtedly Isao Machii of Iaido, a famous swordsman who was said to have broken dozens of ribs with his bare hands and broken elbow joints in both hands, and it was no longer possible to lift a sword in the future.

It was also at that time that Leo began to follow Ms. Siwa all the way, even if he was driven away several times, he was reluctant to leave, and finally after several tests, he successfully became a student of the other party.

"I know you, Sandra, you don't usually act like you did last night...... Passionate debauchery! ”

Leo looked into the eyes of Lady Siva, they had ever had the closest relationship with each other, and they had once pushed the limits together around the world, improving themselves by constantly fighting.

In the Gulag concentration camps in Russia, face the vicious gangster thugs, as well as the Gurkha mercenaries in Chechnya and Nepal, and the drug lord syndicates in Mexico......

The tempering and polishing of that period of time made Leo a qualified fighter.

It is very responsible to say that Oliver Quinn, who was tortured from Purgatory Island and successfully returned, may not be his opponent now.

"I'm on the hunt for a mysterious organization called the League of Assassins."

Ms. Siwa wiped her long wet hair, wrapped her arms around Leo's neck, and said quietly.

At this moment, she seemed a little fragile and helpless, and could only ask for warmth from the little man in front of her.

"A killer called David Kane, he killed Caroline, my sister."

Leo sighed silently, he had heard of the League of Assassins, a group of long-established villains.

There are countless vests, ninja masters who make trouble everywhere, and Talia who will have a leg with Batman in the future, including Macolm, the helmsman of the Star City Merlin Group...... They were all members of the League of Assassins.

As the leader, the ninja master claims to be the "head of the demons" and maintains his false image of "immortality" by soaking in the pool of Lazarus.

He used many aliases, and through his vast wealth, he established an alliance of assassins, recruited and trained killers, and organized an all-pervasive intelligence network.

This old guy who has lived for hundreds of years is an extremist who stubbornly believes that human beings are a stubborn disease that needs to be eliminated and must be sterilized and detoxified at regular intervals in order to achieve continuous self-development.

As for who will play the role of a scavenger?

Himself, of course!

Similar villains are not uncommon in this world, especially in the Arkham Asylum in Gotham, where the ninja master can find quite a few crazy people and psychopaths who are similar to what he sees.

"David Kane, I'll help you find out about this person."

Leo pressed Lady Siva's smooth shoulders, he knew how terrifying it would be when the woman in front of him was completely reduced to a revenge machine.

The martial artists, mercenaries, and killers who were killed by her bare hands were already lush with the grass on their graves.

Unless it is a special force that is heavily armed and carries heavy firepower, there is basically no possibility of stopping Ms. Siva.

"As for the League of Assassins, I have a clue."

The corners of Leo's mouth turned up, and he remembered Malcolm Merlin.

The billionaire of Star City, once one of the great ninja masters, has undergone rigorous training and is proficient in a variety of weapons and fighting techniques.

Beneath the glamorous celebrity cloak, his true identity is one of Oliver Quinn's arch-enemies, "Black Arrow".

"Keep the flame of hatred in your heart and calm down for a moment, David Kane, League of Assassins, and I'll find them for you."

Hearing Leo's solemn promise, Ms. Siwa was silent for a moment and nodded slightly.

She rested her head on the man's shoulder, and her heart, which had always been strong enough, revealed a hint of weakness.

…………

At two o'clock in the afternoon, the black sedan stopped in front of the White Industries building.

Surrounded by bodyguards, Leo entered the president's office on the 43rd floor, which was his first formal participation in the company's operations.

Thankfully, his father, Mr. White Sr., didn't leave a mess.

It wasn't until he sat in his office and read the general company introduction and group business that Leo really understood what kind of behemoth White Industries was.

It is the world's largest private company, one of the world's largest producers and suppliers of professional road asphalt, the most important participant in the U.S. Strategic Highway Research Program, the largest liquefied petroleum gas processing group in North America, and the sixth largest power supplier in the United States, with power supply operations in all 50 states.

Since the acquisition of DuPont's Invista, and then the acquisition of paper giant Georgia-Pacific for a sky-high price of $21 billion, the largest private acquisition of a listed company in history, White Industries has firmly sat on the throne of the world's number one private company, and no one can stop the progress of this behemoth.

"Really...... A shocking legacy. ”

Leo smacked his tongue secretly, he did know that he was rich, but he didn't expect to be so rich!

It's simply inhumane, and it is estimated that in front of Batman, who has the ability to make money, he will be able to straighten his waist and be a man in the future.

"Fortunately, I have trusts and charitable funds, and I have specialized accountants and lawyers, so I can reasonably avoid federal estate tax."

The inheritance tax in the United States can make any lucky person who inherits a large inheritance so distressed that he can't breathe.

Leo leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes in contemplation, the current White Industry has tentacles in many fields.

Typical enterprises such as crude oil extraction, refining, voyage trade, pipeline transportation, etc., obtained through acquisitions, as well as subsidiaries under their names, are countless.

It is hard to imagine that the world's largest private company, which has been in existence for no more than 70 years, and has not relied on the financing function of the capital market, has been able to expand to such a point.

I have to say, this is a miracle to be admired!

"The core business is petroleum and chemical industry, and my father was looking for a transformation before, and he began to be involved in biomedical and clean energy projects a few years ago, and funded many private scientific research institutions."

Leo flipped through the detailed confidential information, sketching a rough outline in his mind.

He is also politically active, investing in academic institutions and founding the Cato Institute, a well-known libertarian think tank, the White Family Foundation, which financially grants financial support to nearly 40 political and policy organizations each year, and serves as the mouthpiece of the government's unrelenting criticism of climate change legislation, excessive economic intervention, and public support for cutting corporate taxes...... It's really a matter of taking what you need. ”

For the next three hours, Leo spent the entire hour flipping through the materials.

The sudden shooting of the former helmsman of White Industries did not affect the giant with roots in the North American continent.

It still runs as usual, like a steel train along a fixed route, and it doesn't rush off the tracks just because the driver is away for a moment.

"It's okay that I don't have to put all my energy and time into this...... A thriving, well-run, and steadily growing private company should not require me to be personally involved unless it is a major decision or a new acquisition. ”

Leo snapped his fingers, expressing his satisfaction.

"Have Mr. Derek Coleman from the Human Resources Department come over and I need him to contact a trustworthy executive search firm."

The newly appointed young president dialed the private line in the office, and the secretary outside hurriedly began to give the order.

"I hope to find a suitable secretary in the future."

Leo chuckled softly, he now has two secretaries, one is in charge of administrative office, and the other is in charge of daily life and scheduling.

In addition, there are three to four senior assistants for the classification and sorting of documents, the collection and summary of daily reports, and the delivery and reporting of daily reports, as well as the handling of accounting matters managed by various departments.

The helmsman of every large group will always choose a personal secretary who is trustworthy and has excellent work ability.

In Leo's mind, there is no suitable candidate for the time being, so he can only use his father's original team first.

"Mr. White, I have selected three headhunting companies with a good reputation and reputation in the industry, which talent do you like?"

Five minutes later, Derek Coleman, the manager of the personnel department, sat a little nervously in a chair in the president's office.

He knew almost nothing about the new boss, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Miss Felicity Smock, currently working in the IT technology department of Quinn Associates, I am able to offer a position with a better salary and office environment, and I hope that these headhunters can take care of this - preferably quietly."

Derek Coleman looked at the information in front of him, a little dumbfounded.

A young and unknown woman?

Need to go to great lengths to poach her from the Quinn Consortium?

Glancing at the youthful and beautiful face in the photo, Mr. Coleman realized.

The clichΓ© of a domineering president and a civilian lady?

Mr. White is really good at playing.

"I see, I won't let you down."

Derek Coleman swears by that.

Then he lowered his head and showed a knowing smile that all men understand.
