Charlotte Agency

In the Charlotte Agency, the lights were bright. Wesley sat on the sofa, looking around, while Rock Lee and Sasuke Uchiha stood guard on either side to prevent him from running off.

After all, ever since they got out of the car, Mr. Wesley, whom they were tasked to protect, hadn't been still, constantly trying to escape.

At this moment, after Ginny and Iruka had a brief conversation, Ginny approached Wesley and began to communicate with him. Meanwhile, Iruka dialed Charlotte's number.

"Lord Charlotte, we've made contact with the mission target, Wesley, today. During the process, we encountered an assassin from the Brotherhood of Assassins attempting an assassination, but we eliminated the assailant. We've now temporarily brought the mission target, Wesley, back to the agency."

Charlotte Doyle, who had not yet rested, was listening to Iruka's report over the phone. He found it somewhat unbelievable that the Brotherhood of Assassins would send an assassin to carry out a killing.

He recalled that in the original plot, the Brotherhood of Assassins had sent Fox to pick up Wesley, train him into a top assassin, and then have him assassinate Carlos. They hadn't attacked Wesley directly but had instead taken him away for deception and training.

He then speculated that the people sent by the Brotherhood of Assassins were likely preparing to take Wesley away, and a conflict had arisen with his people, as their mission objectives were different.

"Do you know who attacked?" Charlotte wanted to confirm if it was Fox.

"According to the information provided by Golden Secretary, the attacker was Fox from the Brotherhood of Assassins. However, she was killed by Rock Lee with a single punch, so we couldn't interrogate her further."

After receiving the news, Charlotte calmly said, "Alright, I understand. Protect Wesley's safety during this period."

"The agency will be temporarily closed. We don't have enough personnel to take on new missions right now."

"Once I complete my mission, we can resume normal operations."

"Lord Charlotte, please rest assured, Iruka's team will perfectly complete this guarding mission."

After a brief exchange, Charlotte hung up. He didn't care about Fox's death. Although she was described as sexy, hot, and skilled on the wanted poster, she was still only human.

Being hit by Rock Lee's punch and dying was a perfectly normal outcome. However, thinking that in the original plot, she would have died by his own gun, dying a few days earlier was probably not a significant difference. Moreover, it was better than dying after her beliefs were shattered.

At least at this moment, Fox firmly believed that her assassinations were for justice and for the future.

Charlotte pulled up Carlos's phone number and dialed it. After a moment, the call was connected.

"Carlos, the Brotherhood of Assassins has made a move on Wesley. Fox died at our hands today."

Charlotte paused before continuing, "How much longer do you need to prepare? You know, after someone dies, their offensive might become even more ferocious. I'm not someone who likes to wait."

Hearing that the Brotherhood of Assassins had sent Fox to attack his son, Carlos became completely tense. Fortunately, upon hearing that Fox had been killed and his son was still safe.

Carlos let out a sigh of relief and then replied in a deep voice, "Let's meet tomorrow. I'll tell you the combat plan and bring you the terrain map of The Textile Factory."

"If there are no problems, we'll act as soon as possible."

Hearing that Carlos was ready to act quickly, Charlotte was quite satisfied. This aligned with his thoughts. He told Carlos his address and hung up the phone.

On the other side.

Inside The Textile Factory, Sloan, Gunsmith, Butcher, Insecticide, Mechanic, and Pharmacist were gathered. On the table before them lay the corpse of Fox.

Sloan's expression was heavy as he spoke slowly, "Today, our friend Fox was murdered."

"Following Mr. X, Fox has also departed from us, and the instigator of all this is the traitor Cross."

"He betrayed Faith, betrayed Destiny, and even colluded with filthy assassins to attack us."

"Even the retired Ginny was deceived by Cross and stood with him."

Sloan paused, building the atmosphere, then continued, "And all of this happened because Carlos's name appeared on the Fate Weaver. He went mad and wanted to destroy us."

"How should we deal with those whose names appear on the Fate Weaver?" As Sloan spoke, his gaze swept over everyone present.

"Destroy him!"

Several voices spoke at once. Though not perfectly synchronized, the answer was unanimous.

Hearing their response, Sloan nodded with satisfaction. The Brotherhood of Assassins had many members, but besides the sacrificed X and Fox, the only truly powerful ones left were the individuals before him.

"Gunsmith, you will brief everyone on the information regarding Wesley's group."

At this, Gunsmith produced a stack of A4 papers printed with information purchased from black market merchants on their way back.

"On the papers everyone has, pay special attention to one person: Charlotte Doyle!"

"Charlotte Doyle is a registered member of The Continental Hotel. In the assassin world, he is rated as the second assassin to receive the legendary title after Night Demon, codenamed Ninja."

Besides being an assassin for The Continental Hotel, he also runs an agency named after himself, the Charlotte Agency. It primarily handles tasks such as retrieving lost items, investigations, assassinations, escorts, and security.

Agency employees include: Ginny, a retired former member of the Brotherhood.

Umino Iruka, an Asian Ninja?

Sasuke Uchiha, Asian, Ninja?

Rock Lee, Asian, Ninja?

These four members, apart from one who was a retired comrade, the remaining three are marked as suspected Ninjas.

"Children?"

Mechanic exclaimed in surprise upon seeing the photographs of Sasuke Uchiha and Rock Lee.

Sloan spoke then, "Don't underestimate them just because they are children. In fact, they are more dangerous than anyone."

"The injuries on Fox were inflicted by this person named Rock Lee."

Hearing that Fox was killed by Rock Lee, everyone immediately stopped underestimating the two children. They had all seen the injuries on Fox. Could those be inflicted by a single punch?

They'd believe it if you told them they were hit by a dump truck!

At this moment, the Pharmacist hesitated and asked, "Are they Yakuza ninjas?"

It wasn't strange for the Pharmacist to ask this, because the Brotherhood of Assassins had been established for over a thousand years, and during that long period, they had clashed with the Yakuza, located in that East Asian Island Nation.

For some unknown reason, however, under the leadership of the Brotherhood of Assassins' leader at the time, both sides ceased hostilities, and there had been no further interaction between them.

The Gunsmith was a little uncertain. At this point, Sloan spoke up, "Those few people are not Yakuza ninjas."
