…

The departure of the Stark Group was just a small episode, and after stirring up a wave, it quickly dissipated. This April, the election is at the forefront of New York's attention.

As the day of the election arrived, the candidates of the general election accelerated their campaign movements and launched the final sprint, plunging New York into a frenzied atmosphere.

At the critical moment of the general election, all the campaign teams tore off the camouflage of kindness and launched a brutal battle in various battlefields to win public opinion.

New York has a strong mayor-council system, in which the mayor is elected and has unique executive power and is subject to the supervision of the city council. The Legislature is also elected from New York's 51 constituencies.

After a series of battles and rounds of elimination, there are only three candidates left for the post of mayor of New York this year: New York Attorney General Chuck Rhodes, New York Police Commissioner George Stacey, and up-and-coming New York rookie Matthew.

Amazingly, Matthew, who was originally low-key, entered the New York political arena strongly under the operation of campaign chairman Jordan Belfort. Since announcing his candidacy, his support has risen all the way, defeating many political stars and veterans one after another, winning the support of the majority of voters, and being pinned on by the media and the public.

Matthew's strong performance also made other competitors uneasy.

…

The Upper East Side, the West Cuda neighborhood is a wealthy neighborhood in New York City. Under the dual role of power and wealth, the shadow of war has disappeared, and small western-style buildings with unique styles have been erected.

"Master Pierce, this Matthew is too rampant, you must call the shots for me." Attorney Chuck Rhodes let himself breathe a sigh of relief as he loosened his neckline with his hands.

In his debate with Matthew today, he was once again at a disadvantage. For him, who has been in New York politics for more than ten years, being defeated by this newcomer who appeared out of nowhere made him a joke in New York politics.

S.H.I.E.L.D. Director Alexander Pierce sat in his chair and looked straight at Chuck Rhodes in front of him.

Watching from Pierce's cold eyes, Chuck Rhodes shifted his body uneasily, re-tied the bow tie around his neck, and sat upright, reining in his slightly arrogant demeanor due to irritability.

After a while, Alexander Pierce said: "I have helped you expose the scandals of the other candidates, and I can't control the rest of the matter." You can't handle such a worthless little person, and I'm considering whether it's necessary to continue to invest in you. ”

Chuck Rhodes swallowed his saliva and muttered indignantly: "My lord, this thief's previous low-key is fake, and his scheming and insidiousness are far beyond our estimates." Honestly, George Stacy doesn't have to worry about it, this Matthew is our most formidable opponent in charge of New York. ”

After beating Chuck Rhodes, Alexander Pierce stopped being aggressive and focused on the campaign.

Nick Fury has been forced away, and he has taken control of S.H.I.E.L.D. New York is the heart of the Americas, and once it takes control of New York, the immortal Hydra will be able to radiate throughout the Americas. This is about the achievement of the core goals of the organization, and the slightest failure cannot be tolerated.

Alexander Pierce sighed: "I know this matter in my heart, I will arrange for Matthew's matter to be resolved, and you go to prepare for the election first." Taking control of New York is the most critical plan for an organization, and if it fails, you know the consequences. ”

Seeing the murderous aura flashing in Pierce's eyes, Chuck Ritz was not surprised or overjoyed. He knows the strength of the organization, and as soon as the organization makes a move, this Matthew will not be able to jump for long, and he will definitely turn into powder in the shadow of the hydra.

AFTER CHUCK RITZ LEFT, ALEXANDER PIERCE PONDERED FOR A MOMENT AND INSTRUCTED SOLID SNAKE NEXT TO HIM: "NOW THAT THE ELECTION IS APPROACHING, THE PLAN HAS REACHED A CRITICAL JUNCTURE, AND WE NEED TO ELIMINATE ALL VARIABLES." ”

Sollid Snake looked at the words and said, "I'm taking someone there?" ”

Alexander shook his head: "The organization cannot be exposed, so as not to startle the snake, and this time we can't use our own people." You go to the League of Assassins, and Old Fox Sloan has been with us for a while, tell him what we're aiming for, and he knows how to do it. ”

…

Soon after, a dark alley.

"Tell me, who are you targeting?" A low, magnetic voice rang out, and Sollid Snake raised his hands and slowly turned away.

What appeared in front of him was an old black man with gray hair and dark skin, dressed and looked extremely ordinary, without any features, just like an ordinary old man.

"Sloane, you're still so primitive, you like to play tricks." Snake laughed.

"Snake, you have to be considerate of an old man's traditional habits. In this day and age, there are no privacy secrets, and I still believe in face-to-face transactions. It's troublesome, but it's safe and efficient. Not to mention that you know that our cooperation will not see the light of day. Sloane, the leader of the Assassin League, said calmly, as if he didn't appreciate his sarcasm.

Solid Snake scratched his head and said, "Well, you old stubborns who keep the old traditions and eat the ancients, I really don't know how you got to the present. This time I'm going to kill someone, Matthew Williams. ”

Sloane's eyes flickered and he spoke, "Matthew Williams? The light of victory? How did you mess with him? This is a single-handedly subverted Hand and killed the Demon Beast with his body, a recognized powerhouse in the dark world. I heard that even the powerful mutant professor was helpless against him. ”

Sollid Snake said coldly: "It's not a good thing to know too much, how to kill him is the problem you should consider." ”

Sloane pondered for a moment, then made up his mind for a long time and said, "It's not impossible to kill him, but what do we get?" ”

Sollid Snake said coldly, "If it weren't for the Order's protection, you would have been wiped out by the Templars long ago, don't think too much. Of course, if you do it well, we can also support you in destroying the Templars. ”

"Remember your promise!" Sloane said, taking a step back, his figure slowly melting into the darkness.

After Sloane left, Sollid Snake felt the murderous attempts of several guns on his body slowly disappear, and he let out a wicked smile and turned and disappeared into the darkness.

Only darkness remains, enveloping everything.

…

New York, Bart Meat Processing Plant.

The Bart Meat Processing Plant is famous for its beef processing, and the tradition of butchers is still alive and well for thousands of years at a time when other peers were using mechanized facilities to process meat.

Beef processed by butchers is highly prized by food lovers for its well-defined muscle texture and tender meat.

The Bart Meat Processing Plant, which was originally the largest in New York, was hit by mechanization and sales were declining. Later, it transformed into high-end meat processing and became the royal beef supplier of major five-star restaurants, but the original large factory was abandoned and deserted.

In the eyes of the outside world, the interior of the abandoned factory is in full swing. Hundreds of apprentice Assassins in the factory were trained by their mentors to undergo rigorous training in assassination, reconnaissance and counter-investigation, and combat.

This is the headquarters of the League of Assassins.

Under the astonished eyes of the apprentices, the mysteriously powerful, unfathomable leader Sloan hurried through the lobby and back to headquarters.

The apprentice was then surprised to find that the tranquility of the Assassin League had been shattered, several big names who had only stayed in legends had appeared, and legendary Assassins who had been on missions around the world were also urgently recalled, and the alliance was filled with an undercurrent of rain and tension.

"Is war coming?" The apprentice Carlos cautiously questioned his mentor, the legendary Assassin Fawkes, known as the "Cunning Fox".

Fawkes lowered his head and touched little Carlos's head, looked at these young disciples who were about to get involved in the war with sadness, and replied softly: "Yes, Carlos, there is a new goal on the loom of fate that has been silent for decades, and for the future of the world, the holy war is coming!" ”

"Remember, all things are false, all things are allowed! We work in the darkness to serve the light! Seek justice with righteousness in your hands! ”

"We are assassins!"
