"You are very bold, worthy of being a student taught by Cross."

Sloan narrowed his gaze, seemingly unannoyed by David's blackmail.

After a moment of silence, he took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, and after a few words, looked at David again.

"Fifty million, it will arrive immediately."

Bite!

In less than a minute, David received a text message.

The balance of the salary account of the Swiss bank, which is linked to the brotherhood, is a huge sum of fifty million dollars.

"The deal is done, it's time for you to keep your promise." Sloan said.

"Of course."

David received the money and was in a good mood: "Cross's safe house is right under your nose." ”

"What do you mean?" Sloane asked, frowning.

"Have you ever wondered why Cross was able to find out about your movements the first time you found Wesley, and a shootout broke out with Fox at the scene?" David asked rhetorically.

Sloan wasn't curious how David knew this.

As an underworlder, you always have your own sources.

"This shows that Cross has been keeping an eye on his only son." He was lost in thought, vaguely aware.

"Not bad."

David smiled, "It's all so clear, can't you guess the location of Cross's safe house?" ”

"What?"

Sloane was stunned for a moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally converged into a line, and suddenly smiled: "The answer is so simple. ”

"Yes, the answer is that simple."

David took the money, and at this time he was still in the brotherhood's lair, but he was still calm and composed, stating the facts: "You were frightened by Cross, and you were confined to the circle, and I didn't. ”

"It's worth the 50 million."

Finally getting a clue to Cross's whereabouts, Sloane perked up, faintly excited, and no longer as calm as before.

"In that case, I won't send you."

He glanced at David and ordered the expulsion: "From now on, I don't want to see you at the Brotherhood." ”

"Don't worry, we'll never see you again."

David waved his hand and turned to leave.

Bang!

The office door closed, blocking Sloane's seemingly calm, but actually cold gaze.

"What a smiling tiger."

David recalled the conversation with Sloane just now, and the corners of his mouth pulled into a disdainful sneer, knowing the threat in Sloane's words.

From the beginning to the end, Sloan didn't want to let himself go.

As long as he is sure that what he said is true, Sloan will immediately issue a "wanted warrant" against him.

The 50 million, in Sloan's opinion, was just temporarily deposited in his own hands, and he had all kinds of means to get the money back.

That's why Sloan gives money so happily.

After all, 50 million is not a small amount for Sloan.

In the memories of being a member of the Brotherhood instilled by the system, David only saved a million dollars after joining the Brotherhood for five years, and his income level among the members of the Brotherhood is not low. Although it is far inferior to Cross, it is barely on par with Fox and others.

This income is placed on ordinary people, properly in the elite class, but it is really shabby in the killer circle where capable people gather, especially the top killer circle.

Even his mentor, the strongest killer of the Brotherhood, and the "cross" that can be ranked in the world, Cross, has only accumulated a balance of more than three million over the years.

It is conceivable that the overall income of the members of the fraternity is relatively low compared to those of the same level.

It's not controlled by Sloan, it's the Brotherhood, a killer organization that has been passed down for many years, and it can't make money in itself.

At the heart of the functioning of the Brotherhood is faith.

Talking about faith,

You can't talk about money.

Sloan was rich because he had no faith.

Sloane's renunciation of his faith and the falsification of "fate's" assassination lists for his own benefit are the reasons why he has amassed a huge fortune over the years.

The cloth woven by the Loom of Destiny with Sloan's name on it was a key factor in Sloane's renunciation of faith...... Tracing back to the source, it no longer matters whether there is cloth and then Sloan's betrayal, or whether Sloan first betrays and then has cloth.

Importantly, this was Cross's reason for defecting to the Brotherhood, and the biggest secret he had about Sloan that no one else wanted to know.

……

Leave the office and go down the circular staircase.

David was surprised to find that Fawkes was still leaning on the railing of the ladder waiting for him.

"Something?"

David raised an eyebrow.

"A word of advice, get out of New York."

Fawkes seemed to be thinking about it, and said lightly, "Sloan won't let you go." ”

"So, you're willing to let me go?"

David looked at the outstanding beauty in front of him, and swirled around the curves of her seductive body with an admiring gaze, nonchalantly: "This is really a surprising piece of advice." ”

"Damn it, it's Cross."

Fawkes was obviously unhappy with Sloane's decision, but as a member of the Brotherhood, she had to obey the leader's orders unconditionally: "In this chaos caused by Cross, many colleagues died, but there were always people who were innocent. ”

Cool moonlight poured into the room through the arched windows in the upper part of the wall, pouring light on Fawkes.

With long wavy blond hair, a high nose, sculptural cheeks, and skin that is whiter than snow, Fawkes is like an elf coming out of a fantasy world.

"I don't want to hurt the innocent, but I can't go against Sloan's orders, and fate's commands." "So, run as far away as you can, out of New York, as far away as possible." ”

"I'm suddenly kind of fond of you, Fawkes."

David laughed, "I can't leave...... I extorted 50 million from Sloane, and he will soon send someone to kill me. ”

As he spoke, he extended a gracious invitation to Fawkes, "If it were possible, I hope that you would be the one who came to kill me." ”

"What did you say?"

Fox was stunned, didn't care about the second half of David's words, his face stiffened, and repeated the key words in her heart: "You blackmailed Sloan for 50 million?" ”

"Not bad."

After speaking, David passed by Fox's side again: "If you want to know the truth, I'll tell you when you come to kill me." ”

This time, the rich smell of engine oil on Fox's body has become much better in David's perception.

Fawkes narrowed his eyes as David's figure disappeared into the night.

This expression made her bright and moving face no longer bright, and it looked a little gloomy.

"Fifty million?"

A thought crossed her mind: "Sloan...... Where did the 50 million come from? ”

As a high-level member of the fraternity, she knows the operation of the organization very well.

Even the entire brotherhood can't come up with 50 million, how could Sloan be extorted 50 million by David?

She didn't think David was lying.

If it's a lie, then it's too clumsy, and David won't be out of his head to that point.

Drip, drip!

Suddenly, the textile factory rang the assembly bell.

Fawkes was awakened by the sound, came back to his senses, and looked at the office on the second floor.

Dadada!

Soon, the repairman, butcher, gunsmith and others on the first floor and basement, along with Wesley, who had been trained with them, appeared in front of her at the same time.

"Fox, let's go, Sloan issued a summoning order."

"Do you know why he did it?"

"Davy just came, and he talked to Sloan for a while, I think maybe because of what they were talking about."

"You mean...... Cross? ”

Everyone looked at each other.

"Sloane found Cross?"

Wesley was still in special training, drenched in sweat, and when he heard this, he was instantly excited, and his eyes released a bright light.

"I can finally get my revenge?!"

……

2nd floor office.

The room was very quiet, and you could hear pins dropping.

The atmosphere was calm, the flow of time seemed to slow down, and everyone's heartbeat was four hundred.

At the desk hanging in front of the bookshelf on the wall, Sloan sat in his chair and remained as he was, calm, his eyes sweeping over the few people he had summoned in front of him.

These are the high-ranking members of the Brotherhood, and they are also his henchmen.

As for those who were closer to Cross, they are now gone...... Some leave temporarily, some leave permanently, and there is little difference between the two.

Tick tock!

The hands on the wall turn little by little, representing the slow passage of time.

"Guys, you should have guessed it."

Sloan opened his mouth to break the silence: "I received information, and I basically locked on the location of Cross's safe house...... However, now is not the time to make a move, we are not ready. ”

"No, I'm ready."

Wesley was the latest member of the Brotherhood to join the Brotherhood, and the most special member of the Brotherhood, lacking an in-depth understanding of Sloane's power within the Brotherhood, only knowing that the Brotherhood was in Sloan's hands, and he tried to convince Sloan to do it as soon as possible.

"I'm the main force on this mission."

He did not shy away from saying, "I have completed the task assigned by the Brotherhood, I have the ability to carry out the mission, Sloane, you have to believe me." ”

"Of course I believe you."

Sloane's eyes were gentle, his gaze fixed on Wesley.

The gaze, like the experience of the fraternity these days, made Wesley feel like family.

Sloan's words rang in Wesley's ears: "You inherited your father's bloodline as the strongest killer, and you should be able to do it all......"

"Then why not now?"

Wesley was quite dissatisfied, believing that Sloan's statement was an expression of distrust of his abilities, and his expression was visibly impatient: "What if you don't make a move now and let him run?" ”

"Cross won't run...... He won't back down until he kills us all. ”

Fawkes spoke suddenly, in a tone of affirmation, as if he were solving a math problem with only one solution.

Beside them, the gunsmith, the repairman, the butcher and the others did not speak, and judging from the expressions of the crowd, they very much agreed with Fox's point of view.

Wesley looked around and saw that everyone had such thoughts, although he was puzzled, but out of trust, he did not pursue it, but asked his inner doubts: "When will it be considered ready?" ”

"Come on, our chance is almost there."

Sloane said, turning to look out the window at the neon, his eyes deep, as if he could see through the deep darkness of the night:

"The next time Cross attacks us, it's our turn to fight back."

"The next attack?"

Wesley reacted, but didn't.

Fox and the others immediately understood what Sloane meant—when Cross returned to the safe house after his next attack on the Brotherhood members was successful, he would be filled with a full-scale counterattack from the Brotherhood members.

"Sloane, what to do with David?"

She hesitated, thinking of David who had just left the textile factory, and couldn't help but ask, "He has already shown us goodwill, should we still deal with him?" ”

"Fate has decided."

Sloan took out a document from the drawer of his desk, on which was a piece of cloth stapled, densely written with binary translation code, summed up by one name—David Fisk.

"The priority is Cross...... By the time Cross is dead, we'll have plenty of time to take out Davy. ”

Sloane's tone was unmistakable: "However, we need to lock David's position and not let him escape." Fox, take the time to keep an eye on David's tracks. ”

"Understood."

Fawkes nodded.

No one noticed, Fawkes stared at the document in Sloan's hand, his delicate brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of hesitation appeared in his emerald green eyes, recalling that David had said that he had extorted Sloan with 50 million before leaving.

"David really told Sloan where Cross was, and he didn't lie to me...... In this way, it is true that he extorted Sloan 50 million......"

She frowned, without a trace, revealing a suspicious look: "Where did Sloan get 50 million?" ”
