(Naruto Shippuden) Sasuke Uchiha (140)

"Charlotte, the Brotherhood of Assassins has been wiped out. How do you plan to receive the spoils of war?" Carlos gestured towards the ashes on the ground and the surrounding factory buildings.

Seeing Carlos pointing at the ashes, Charlotte secretly thought, My spoils of war have already been received; you just don't know it.

"Carlos, I'll leave the textile factory to you. Since you came from here, it's only fitting that you take charge of it."

Hearing Charlotte say she would give him the textile factory, Carlos was taken aback. He had thought it was Charlotte's spoils of war, especially since their previous contract stated that all spoils belonged to Charlotte.

Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Carlos expressed his gratitude, "Thank you, then. I'll tidy things up here and see if Sloan had any hidden cash or anything. I'll transfer it to you later."

Seeing Carlos being so sensible, Charlotte nodded with satisfaction. "Alright, arrange it yourself. The mission is complete, go pick up your son now."

The two left the textile factory and returned to where they had parked. Charlotte tossed the keys over and said, "Wesley is at my agency. You can drive on the way back."

Taking the keys, Carlos didn't question why Charlotte asked him to drive. He immediately opened the car door and started the engine. Charlotte opened the passenger door and sat in the passenger seat. He sniffed the air and still detected the faint sewer-like smell of rats. After opening the window, he closed his eyes to rest.

Seeing Charlotte close his eyes to rest as soon as he got in the car, Carlos smoothly drove the vehicle towards Charlotte's agency on 71st Avenue in Forest Hills, Queens.

At this moment, Charlotte's consciousness had already entered the system interface. Looking at the 1730 gold coins in the currency tab, he began to check the recharge records.

He discovered that special energy could be recharged.

Recharge successful: 840 gold coins. First-time recharge, gold coins doubled, resulting in 1680 gold coins.

Seeing this, Charlotte Doyle finally understood. It wasn't the Fate Weaver that had directly recharged so many gold coins for him, but rather the system's reward for the first recharge, with the doubled bonus, that brought the total to this amount.

However, 840 gold coins only raised his VIP level by one, which was quite exaggerated. It wasn't that 840 gold coins was a lot; in a Naruto mobile game, that would only be 84 yuan, enough to reach VIP 3. The problem was that this cheat, which didn't charge any money, dealt with such rare items. Only upgrading by one level left him feeling a bit dejected.

Fortunately, even VIP 1 came with a corresponding gift package.

Upon opening the VIP 1 privilege gift package, Charlotte received 12,000 copper coins, 70 reputation points, and one ninja recruitment scroll.

Seeing another recruitment scroll, Charlotte was quite satisfied. This scroll alone was worth 168 gold coins, nearly a tenth of his total gold.

Adding the previous 5 scrolls, Charlotte now had 6 ninja recruitment scrolls. Glancing at his gold coins, he generously purchased 4 more, bringing his total to ten.

He spent a total of 672 gold coins, leaving him with 1058 gold coins.

Charlotte didn't immediately proceed with the ninja recruitment. Instead, he began to ponder.

Since the Fate Weaver could be converted into energy for recharging, what else could be recharged?

Dragon Bone? Ten Rings? Heart-Shaped Grass? Frostmourne? Eternal Fire? Or Infinity Stones?

Although Charlotte didn't possess these items and didn't know if they could actually be recharged successfully, he wanted to try.

After all, relying solely on his own growth was still a bit slow. The only way to get stronger was to stack the attributes and corresponding skills of multiple ninjas.

With a goal in mind, Charlotte Doyle became more confident about the future.

Putting these thoughts aside, he opened the mission hub and saw that the mission to annihilate the Brotherhood of Assassins was complete. He immediately chose to claim the reward.

5000 reputation points, 500,000 copper coins, and one exquisite treasure chest.

Upon opening the chest, a flash of light appeared, revealing a ninja fragment. It clearly stated: (Naruto Shippuden) Sasuke Uchiha. It was Sasuke after finishing his training with Orochimaru.

Charlotte was quite satisfied with obtaining a ninja fragment. It was a shame that he only had one fragment for (Naruto Shippuden) Sasuke Uchiha. It should be known that unless a B-rank ninja was recruited directly, synthesizing one required 40 identical fragments.

Instantly, Charlotte felt the dread of being controlled by a card collection game. Without dwelling on the time and cost required to assemble this Sasuke, he exited the system space.

After Carlos had been driving for a while.

He arrived near Charlotte's agency. From a considerable distance, Charlotte spotted Charlie's hearse parked in front of his agency.

Charlotte's eyebrows rose slightly. It seemed an assassin had come calling and been dealt with.

At this moment, Carlos also noticed the anomaly. The car quickly drove to the entrance. As soon as the car stopped, Charlotte got out first and walked towards the agency.

Charlie, who was overseeing his subordinates cleaning up the traces, saw Charlotte approaching and said, "Good evening, Mr. Charlotte!"

"Good evening, Charlie." Charlotte greeted him and then looked inside the building. The lobby was in disarray, with bullet holes and the aftermath of grenade explosions everywhere.

Charlie's cleanup crew was sweeping up debris, wiping away bloodstains, and packing up bodies.

Charlotte's expression grew increasingly grim. These assassins were too brazen, directly attacking his agency and even using grenades.

"Charlotte, has the Brotherhood of Assassins been wiped out?" asked Ginny, who had come down from the second floor.

"They have been wiped out. Is everything alright on your end?" Charlotte asked.

Charlie, who was directing his subordinates in cleaning the room, seemed to hear something unbelievable. His pupils contracted sharply, and his body stiffened for a moment before he resumed directing as if nothing had happened.

"Everything's fine, no one was injured." After speaking, Ginny turned to Carlos, who had just entered behind Charlotte, and said, "Carlos, Wesley is upstairs. You can go up and get him yourself."

"Ginny, thank you!" Carlos said, then turned and went upstairs. He was about to have his first face-to-face conversation with his son, who had lived before his eyes but whom he had never met.

Seeing Carlos leave, Charlotte said calmly, "Ginny, tell me what happened!"

Hearing Charlotte's words, Ginny recounted the events without any concealment: "From this morning until now, a total of 6 waves of assassins have attacked. We've already spent thirty gold coins just on cleanup fees for Charlie, not including the cost of renovating the agency."

"However, these assassins were all too weak and didn't cause us any real harm. It's just that as time went on, the attackers became more troublesome. Some have already used grenades, and it's possible someone might take desperate measures and use an RPG on us next."

Hearing Ginny say that no one was injured, Charlotte's anger did not subside in the slightest. Especially upon hearing about RPGs, his anger intensified. However, not seeing Iruka and the other two, he asked, "Ginny, where are Iruka and the others?"
