After feeling John's will to die, Du Wei couldn't help frowning. Mean

That's not a good sign.

This means that John has self-destructive tendencies.

In other words, after completing the task, John, who feels that he has nothing to love, is very likely to choose to accompany Helen.

And Helen ...... Long dead!

However, John's current condition is very much like heart disease, which is known to be the most difficult to treat.

Even if Dewey didn't let John carry out this mission, I am afraid that he would have burned his last glory and ended his life in other ways.

Just as Du Wei was thinking about how to make John as happy as possible, Gen Mei, who had been instructed by Du Wei to start investigating the Marquis of Gramont, sent a request for a video call. Mean

Du Wei immediately let go of his worries about John, and instead connected Genmei's communication.

In the video, Gen Mei is still tapping on the keyboard quickly, and through the side of the display, it can be seen that Gen Mei is still fighting against the unknown hacker behind the screen.

However, since Genmei has initiated a communication request, it is natural that Genmei has gained a slight upper hand.

Gen Mei said without taking her eyes off the display:

"This guy's information is so well hidden, but I still found some clues.

You've probably heard that the old high tables were hereditary.

So this Marquis of Gramont who suddenly appeared was actually the heir to a high table seat entrenched in the Rooster Country. Mean

It's just that this guy has always let the Bloody Hand Sect stand in front of the stage, and he cleverly hid his power under the Bloody Hand Faction, which made everyone ignore him.

But in fact, he is the real underground ruler of the Rooster Country.

There's not much to look up for this guy, but it seems like he's a very disciplined man.

In a video circulating internally, there is a sentence that this guy has been hanging on his lips: "My father often said that the way of doing things should be within the rules, this is the first and last rule of life".

So in his opinion, the reason why the high table collapsed was all because John broke the rules.

It's like an army loses a war in the first place because of a horseshoe.

And this guy also added another $30 million bounty to John's head. Mean

In other words, John, who is standing next to the bed, is a walking ATM.

Anyone who kills him and goes to Paris with a token of John's DNA will receive a reward from the Marquis de Gramont.

In addition, I heard that the Marquis de Gramont had found a number of good men who could successfully retire and let them come back to deal with John.

That's all I have to offer.

As for the others, they've been removed by the damn hackers!"

After speaking, Gen Mei hit the enter key in front of her heavily, and then quickly unplugged the computer, completely cutting off all contact with the other side.

Physical isolation is the best way to deal with hackers! Mean

Genmei, who looked up again, spread her hands to everyone, indicating that she had done her best.

And Du Wei quickly remembered who this Marquis of Gramon was.

A guy who always likes to say that everything runs under the rules of the high table.

A guy who is in a new era but is willing to stick to the old rules.

In a sense, people who can stick to the rules like this are really rare in modern times.

But the same kind of people can be difficult to deal with.

Because he only plays by those time-tested rules, it means that the chances of trying to find loopholes in him are low. Mean

Fortunately, Du Wei finally remembered a way to deal with this difficult guy.

"Root, thank you, you said that reminded me of some long-standing rules......

Speaking of this, Du Wei turned his head to look at John and said:

"John, have you ever heard of the 'duel' rules that the high table was used to settle internal disputes?"

John frowned slightly, pondered for a moment before speaking in an uncertain tone:

"Duel? Are you saying that it is necessary for the dominant Continental Hotel to send an agent to challenge the 12 people at the high table?"

Du Wei nodded and confirmed: "Huh."

"That's right, this is it."

Hearing Du Wei's confirmation, John's brow furrowed even more:

"But the Continental Hotel in New York is gone, and the Continental Hotel in Rome, Casablanca, and Tokyo are all my friends, and I don't want to cause trouble to them.

As for the people in the other continental hotels, I'm afraid they will only care about the bounty I carry.

And how can you be sure that the so-called Marquis de Gramont will accept the challenge of a duel?

He just needs to sit there and there will be killers who will come and kill me."

Faced with John's doubts, Du Wei smiled and replied: "Wow."

"There are quite a few continental hotels in this world.

We don't have to look for your friends.

Some Continental hotels are not as stable as they seem.

For example, the Continental Hotel in Berlin.

I heard that the original manager had been assassinated, but the Continental Hotel in Berlin was so weak that even if they knew who did it, they would not dare and could not retaliate.

Because the other party was sheltered under a seat at the high table, the manager's daughter could only send a message to the outside world that anyone who could kill the guy would get their friendship.

And by friendship we mean anything, including being their surrogate to challenge a duel at the high table. Mean

I think that's just what you need."

John was silent for a moment and then nodded:

"I see, it's really the best thing to do."

Seeing that John agreed, Dewey continued:

"By the way, I've updated your Taran Tactical Pistol to the latest model.

The $7,000 PitViper/Pit Viper pistol, which is now worth $7,000, is still a 9-calibre pistol, but has been deeply customized.

The cost is actually far more than $7,000. Mean

As a custom-built firearm, it has a 21-round magazine that you don't find with a regular pistol.

I also had them equip you with a compensator, so that there is almost no muzzle jump when you shoot.

And it also has a fiber-optic front sight, double-sided safety, a flared magazine well, a quicker reload, and an ultra-light two-pound trigger, all of which make it the perfect pistol for your use."

As Du Wei's words fell, Frank, who came here at some point, took a box made of precious mahogany.

John lowered his eyes slightly and opened the wooden box, which contained a Taran tactical pit viper pistol that exuded a brand new factory scent.

John picked it up and tried the weight of the trigger and was quite satisfied.

It seems that the person who customized the pistol for him did study his habits of use. Mean

Then Frank took a brand new suit that hung on a hanger.

"John, change the old one you have.

Times have changed, and technology is changing.

Now, Kevlar's body armor, which uses lighter materials, focuses on protecting the lethal position and the front.

This gives it another level of resistance to hits, but it's a little lighter than the one you wear.

Just right for the scenario you're about to face.

I think you've been through a killer chase in New York and Washington, and you should know what the intensity of the chase will be. Mean

But this time things will only get worse.

I'm afraid you'll never have a chance to breathe in that romantic city."

John didn't hesitate, took Frank's clothes and put them on, then bounced on the spot to find a feeling.

It has to be said that the equipment for one is already the ceiling

is the most important thing for the killer.

The weight on the body armor was enough to make him faster and more responsive.

And in the process of fighting against top masters, this small difference is enough to determine the final victory!

After being fully equipped, John didn't say much, and went directly to the airport to prepare to fly to Berlin to get the identity of the spokesperson. Mean

After John left, Du Wei rubbed his somewhat tired eyebrows and made the last call, which was to Delores, who was wearing the identity of "Charlotte".

As soon as the phone was connected, the other end quickly picked up the phone.

It's just that under the deliberate suppression, "Charlotte's" voice is very low, and even Du Wei has a hard time listening to it.

"Tell me quickly, I'm not very convenient right now."

"Okay, then I'll make a long story short, have you found the elder's tool?"

"No...... But I've heard that he's going to go to Washington in person to talk to some of the big people who wield military power.

Maybe then I'll know who he's seen." Mean

"Okay, then I'll wait for your news."

"Yes."

Soon, "Charlotte" hung up.

This phone call was the shortest of Du Wei's arrangements.

But although this phone call was short, the information content in it was no less than that of other phone calls.

Because it's about a man who is almost immortal—an elder.

This guy hasn't come out of his head since he was killed by John last time like a smelling rat. Mean

And this time, he took the risk of coming to Washington to talk to the big guys, most likely for the comet in the sky.

After all, the support of the military is indispensable if you want to crush that comet.

So the purpose of the elders' visit to Washington is obvious.

Of course, this will probably also be a good way to send the elder back to the consciousness space again.

I just don't know if the elder has used the computer that has been used to upload consciousness during this time.

After rubbing his chin, Du Weimo immediately got up and got dressed, and walked towards Space X.

…… Mean

At the same time, under the transfer of Diana, groups of ICA killers who could not find their identities on the beautiful national ID card system began to secretly infiltrate the vicinity of the Washington Grand Court.

They began to observe everything around them in every detail, down to the time and moment of the day when someone came out to walk the dog.

As a key target, the whereabouts of the justices have been confirmed dozens of times by several people.

When everything is ready, assassination is as simple as eating and drinking.

Many people have not even realized that things have begun, and things are over.

When the justice, who was buying baguettes on the side of the road, fell to the ground and died, passers-by even thought he had just fainted.

It wasn't until a puddle of blood came out of the head that everyone screamed and panicked. Mean

Soon, Washington, which had just recovered from the Capitol Hill assassination that shocked the world, was put on alert again.

Countless armed soldiers began to take over everything in Washington, bringing Washington into the realm of provisional military control.

This level of vigilance helped Caesar, who was trying to persuade his kind.

Because of martial law, his kind were gathered in a place like a circus on a large scale.

This saved Caesar a lot of time.

Although there are thousands of faces, there will always be people who agree with Caesar and are willing to let Caesar try to take out the miniature bomb that controls their lives.

And with the experience of learning under House, Caesar knew these things even better than the average surgeon. Mean

After a few careful first attempts, Caesar became more and more familiar, and soon freed all the orangutans who were willing to go with him.

As for the caretaker of the orangutans, he was dealt with by the elusive Rogge.

Caesar then secretly contacted animal activists and used animal organizations to smuggle himself and his companions out.

After all, at this time, no one realized that orangutans could also kill people, and all the targets of the investigation were placed on those black households.

Therefore, Caesar went to New York to find Yuri and got the secret weapons specially made for the orangutans.

Of course, Caesar's appearance did almost scare Yuri half to death.

If Elijah, the underground king of New York, hadn't stepped in in time, I'm afraid Yuri would have pointed the muzzle of the AK in his hand at Caesar first. Mean

The fact that the orangutan can speak human language and use weapons shocked him greatly!

He almost thought he was dreaming.

God knows what he thought at first that Du Wei had customized this batch of weapons for some specific group of people.

Because he's also heard of people with disabilities who can be great killers.

But he really didn't expect his client to be an orangutan!

This truth really shocked him for a hundred years!

It wasn't until the orangutans who had received their weapons disappeared into the night that he came back to his senses, looked at Elijah on the side, and said, "Huh."

"What the hell is wrong with this world?"

Elijah patted Yuri on the shoulder and smiled:

"It seems that the long-term arms deal has limited your horizons to arms.

Look at the world, the rapid development of AI, the continuous rise of armaments, and the huge meteorite overhead.

All of this means that the world is going to change dramatically.

If you wait a little longer, the world will be completely different."

Hearing this, Yuri hesitated for a moment and said, "Whew."

"Is it because of Dewey?"

Elijah nodded and said:

"I think yes, his presence changed the fate of many people, including me.

I never imagined that one day I would be able to step on the head of a high table and own the city of New York.

Yuri, I need a batch of the latest elite weapons in the near future, can you get your hands on them?"

"Yes, as long as the money is in place, everything is fine, but why do you want these things?

There's nothing you can't figure out in New York, right?" Mean

Elijah smiled and looked at the vast estuary:

"A high table doesn't allow anyone to stand on a table and ignore the rules.

So they're coming soon.

It's just that I'm going to let them know who's the real King of New York right now!"
