Seeing Charlotte Doyle enter, Kingpin strode over and embraced her, saying, "Charlotte, it's been a long time."

Seeing Kingpin's enthusiasm, Charlotte didn't refuse. After a brief hug, she patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It's been about two months, hasn't it?"

Kingpin and said, "It's been two months. The last time we met was at the banquet where you became Elder. I never imagined that in just two short months, you would not only rise to the top and become the leader of the High Table, but also a major shareholder of Stark Industries, which is admired by thousands, and a superhero."

Listening to the other party's flattery, Charlotte shook her head and said, "Kingpin, you know me. I'm not going to become some kind of superhero. Anyone who wants my help will have to pay a price, no matter who they are."

Upon hearing Charlotte's words, Kingpin's smile faded, and he felt a weight lifted from his heart. He was truly afraid that, with the media's hype, Charlotte would become a superhero like Iron Man and turn against evil.

If that were the case, no one in the entire underworld could withstand Charlotte's heavy blows, and Charlotte wasn't some complete novice who didn't understand the underworld; at most, she could only take down a few gangs.

This man is an expert on the underworld, a former assassin himself. If he were to truly cleanse the world of evil, no one could escape Charlotte's punishment, not even Kingpin.

Fortunately, Charlotte didn't have such thoughts and didn't become that kind of person under the hype of the public and the media.

"I'm relieved that nothing has changed. I'll still need to rely on you Dodo in the future."

"I brought you quite a lot this time. I know you love fine wine, so I've collected quite a few this time."

Kingpin then led Charlotte to the entrance of the Agency, pointed to one of the trucks, and said, "This truck is full of very famous wines from various countries, all of them rare collector's items, very few of them exist."

"I didn't bring you drinks that can be bought in bulk. You don't need those things; you can buy them anywhere."

Looking at the entire truckload of liquor, Charlotte nodded. The most valuable aspect of these collectibles wasn't their price, but the difficulty of acquiring them.

"Kingpin, you're so thoughtful. I really like this gift."

Hearing Charlotte say she liked it, Kingpin was secretly delighted. His efforts had not been in vain. Ever since Charlotte became High Table Elders, he had ordered his subordinates to acquire fine wines from all over the world.

If something can be solved with money, then money will be used; if money can't solve it, then other methods will be used. The price Kingpin paid for this was many times higher than this truckload of alcohol.

After all, buyers who can afford to collect these items are not poor people, and they are not ordinary goods.

Kingpin and said, "This car contains antique items from my collection, from various countries, including quite a few from the Eastern Kingdom. I've heard you're quite knowledgeable about their culture, so I believe you'd be interested in these things too."

Upon hearing that they were antiques, and from the Eastern Kingdom, Charlotte showed a barely perceptible surprise, while Kingpin was attentive. However, she wasn't that interested in these items, since they weren't from the same country as in her previous life, but she still accepted them.

The last truck was loaded with something simpler: various types of jewelry and gold, totaling a billion US Dollar in value.

Including the previous commissions and this gift, they have basically drained Kingpin's cash reserves completely.

After listening to Kingpin's explanation, Charlotte summoned Iruka and asked him to arrange for staff to move all the items into the underground vault and store them properly. She also notified Ginny to come over to check the accounts and dispose of the items, while Charlotte herself returned to the Reception Room with Kingpin.

I have received your kind intentions, and I am very satisfied.

Kingpin gripped his Scepter and looked at Charlotte, saying, "Thank you very much for ceding the Japan to me; this is just part of my gratitude."

"However, my cash flow is already low, and these things are not even a tenth or a twelfth of what I'm grateful for. I will continue to express my gratitude in the days to come."

Hearing Kingpin's words, Charlotte wondered to herself, "Is this guy planning to come like this every year for ten years?"

This is a disguised form of loyalty; the way they're paying protection money is truly ingenious.

After getting a general idea of Kingpin's thoughts, Charlotte smiled and said, "Okay, I understand what you mean."

Upon hearing Charlotte's agreement, Kingpin and a smile returned to his face. After chatting for a while, Charlotte saw Kingpin out of the Agency.

Seeing Kingpin leave, Charlotte turned back to the Agency, only to see a familiar figure at the front desk—an Asian man.

Charlotte walked to the service desk and saw the man's face from the front: Louis Koo.

No, it should be a man who looks a lot like Louis Koo, but I don't know which movie he played.

As for why she appeared in this universe, Charlotte was already used to it; this wasn't originally a simple Marvel Universe.

"Chinese?"

Hearing the man next to him speak fluent Mandarin, Li Zhongzhi paused for a moment, then said:

"Yes, I'm Chinese. My name is Li Zhongzhi, from Hong Kong."

Upon hearing the name Li Zhongzhi, Charlotte tried to recall her memories, but couldn't remember which movie Louis Koo starred in.

This guy has made so many movies, both good and bad, that by the end Charlotte couldn't remember the names of the characters anymore, only Louis Koo.

"Hong Kong, what brings you here? What brings you here?"

"By the way, do you know what this Agency does?"

At this moment, Li Zhongzhi looked puzzled. He didn't Byakugan was asking so many questions, so he looked at Umino Iruka at the service desk.

At this moment, Iruka spoke in fluent English: "This is our Agency's boss, Charlotte Doyle."

Upon hearing that it was the Agency's owner, Li Zhongzhi immediately began to speak:

"My daughter is missing, please help me."

Looking at the anxious 'Louis Koo', Charlotte calmly said, "Come to the Reception Room with me. Tell me your story, and I'll see if I can help you."

"Iruka, get me a blank Mission Scroll."

He took the blank Mission Scroll from Iruka and led him to the Reception Room.

Sitting on the sofa, looking at the Hong Kong in front of her who had the same face as Louis Koo, Charlotte thought of Louis Koo's character, the actor who was willing to do charity work everywhere and build Hope Primary Schools everywhere.

He decided that if the other party was truly poor, he could consider accepting the task at a lower price.

"Sir, you can tell me the reason for this, and the task you wish to entrust to me."
