Brotherhood of Assassins

Seeing that Pakkun had returned to the Summoning Realm, Charlotte could not help marveling at the greatness of the system.

When he had first learned that beings like Pakkun existed in the Summoning Realm rather than the System Space, he had asked Pakkun to use Reverse Summoning Jutsu to bring him into the Summoning Realm.

It was an independent world, a world the system used to house Summoned Beasts. His eight Ninja Dogs lived there.

As for how large this world actually was, Charlotte Doyle did not know, nor had he explored it. For the time being, he could not go beyond Mount Inugami, likely because he had not unlocked any other Summoned Beasts.

For now, it seemed that no one besides him and his Summoned Beasts could enter this Summoning Realm. He just did not know whether it could be discovered by the rulers of other dimensions or by gods.

Looking at the pitiful amount of Prestige he had left on the system interface, Charlotte Doyle shook his head. Besides US Dollars, he also had to worry about Reputation Points.

After finishing the whiskey in his glass, Charlotte Doyle returned to bed and went to sleep.

The next day.

The first thing Charlotte Doyle did after waking up early that morning was enter the system page to sign in.

Ding—Sign-in successful!

Received one Ninja Recruitment Scroll. Would you like to top up to VIP2 to receive double scrolls?

Seeing that the day's sign-in reward was a Ninja Recruitment Scroll, Charlotte Doyle was in an excellent mood. As for the so-called top-up option, sorry, he could only ruthlessly click the ×. It was not that he did not want to; he genuinely had no idea how to top up!

Sometimes, he wanted to ask the system, Just tell me what you want so I can top up successfully. Say the word, and I'll find a way to get it for you. I'll definitely top up successfully.

But to his frustration, the system had no customer service.

Forget customer service—there was not even a system sprite. He had to figure everything out himself. Fortunately, he was fairly familiar with the Naruto Mobile Game.

Looking at the five Ninja Recruitment Scrolls he had saved up, Charlotte thought to himself, In another two months, once I've gathered ten scrolls, I can try recruiting a new ninja.

It was not that he did not want to make single pulls. But only a ten-pull guaranteed a ninja. For someone like him, who had no way to top up and had probably used up all his luck when he transmigrated, he should not count on miracles from single pulls.

After closing the system page and washing up, Charlotte Doyle put on the bulletproof suit he had custom-made at The Continental Hotel, then took a taxi to the Charlotte Agency on 71st Avenue, Forest Hills, Queens.

Pushing open the Agency door, Charlotte Doyle saw Umino Iruka, who had been about to greet whoever entered. The moment Iruka saw that it was Charlotte Doyle, he immediately stood up and said, "Good morning, Lord Charlotte!"

"Iruka, did the Agency receive any jobs over the past two days?"

Picking up the job sheets from the desk, Iruka said, "There are only two jobs: finding a lost cat and investigating whether a husband is cheating. There are no others."

"They've already been assigned to Sasuke and Rock Lee. They should be completed smoothly."

Hearing there were only two jobs, Charlotte Doyle felt somewhat helpless. Without even thinking about it, he knew jobs like these would be D-rank missions at the Mission Center. Still, even a mosquito was meat. He then said, "Iruka, bring me the signed Mission Scrolls."

"Lord Charlotte, here are the Mission Scrolls." Iruka took two signed Mission Scrolls from the cabinet and handed them to Charlotte.

Charlotte took the scrolls, opened the system page, and entered the Mission Center to submit them. After the Mission Center's evaluation, both were D-rank missions, each rewarding 200 Reputation Points and 5,000 Copper Coins.

Seeing those mission rewards, Charlotte Doyle was still somewhat depressed. "Our Agency needs to build up its reputation. The returns from these low-level jobs are far too low."

"Iruka, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Could we have Rock Lee and Sasuke Uchiha take jobs from The Continental Hotel?"

"The bounty missions there pay well. With their strength, ordinary assassination jobs should not be a problem."

Iruka laid out his suggestion, but Charlotte Doyle merely shook his head.

"Iruka, unless I personally accept and complete jobs from The Continental Hotel, the jobs you take cannot be submitted to the Mission Center."

"Lord Charlotte, I can't think of any good suggestions for now. The proportion of higher-level jobs at the Agency is indeed too low. We usually only get one or two decent jobs a month. Most assassination-type jobs have basically been monopolized by The Continental Hotel, and our reputation is still too small."

"Only employers who cannot even afford Gold Coins come here to place orders."

There was one thing Iruka did not say: both Lee and Sasuke were very young and looked like outsiders, so customers did not take them seriously. If not for Charlotte's name, they probably would have had a hard time getting any jobs at all.

After all, if someone wanted Charlotte to make a move, they could place an order directly through The Continental Hotel. With The Continental Hotel backing it, its reputation was guaranteed.

Hearing that The Continental Hotel was squeezing their living space, Charlotte frowned slightly. It looks like obtaining one of the High Table's twelve seats is already an urgent matter.

Only by becoming one of the High Table's upper echelons could he bring The Continental Hotel's jobs into the Agency. Then the ninjas he recruited would be able to accept Continental Hotel jobs and upload them to the system's Mission Center.

John Wick, Winston, I hope you will not make me wait too long.

Just as Charlotte was thinking, Ginny pushed open the door and entered. With a smile on her face and a sweet voice, she said, "Boss, I just heard you complaining about not having any big jobs?"

Looking at Ginny as she spoke, Charlotte did not know whether it was an illusion or because of the big job, but he felt that Ginny was especially charming today.

Clearing his throat, Charlotte looked at Ginny and said, "Secretary Ginny, have you brought good news?"

This time, Ginny did not make a humorous joke. Instead, she said seriously, "Boss, would you take a job involving the Brotherhood of Assassins?"

Hearing the name Brotherhood of Assassins, Charlotte's thoughts drifted far away. In his previous life, he seemed to have watched a movie called Wanted, which told the story of the Brotherhood of Assassins.

But he was not sure whether it was the same one, so he asked uncertainly, "The Brotherhood of Assassins whose bullets can curve?"

Ginny nodded and replied, "That's the one."

"I'll take it. As long as it's a big job, I'll take it."

Ginny took out her phone, made a call, and said, "Come in."

The next moment, a middle-aged man with curly hair pushed open the door and entered the Charlotte Agency.
