S.H.I.E.L.D.

Time quickly passed until evening.

At first, there were still some assassins who were delayed in receiving information or were overconfident in their own strength. They stepped into the blockade zone, ready to earn bounties.

But later, whether it was because the news had spread or because of the corpses piled up at the edge of the blockade zone, no more assassins dared to enter.

Instead, quite a few assassins visited the battlefield from outside the blockade zone and then retreated, as if to confirm the truth of the news.

It wasn't until 6:00 PM, when the deadline arrived, that no more assassins appeared!

As the matter concluded, the name Charlotte Doyle once again shook the assassin world. He not only gained fame in the New York assassin circle but his name also spread throughout the entire assassin world.

This incident was also marked as the Charlotte Incident. After this event, the New York Continental Hotel canceled the membership of nearly a hundred assassins.

These people did not have their memberships canceled due to being exiled by the Continental, but because they were all dead.

And the legendary assassin Charlotte Doyle, in addition to his ninja title, was rated as the number one assassin in New York!

At the Continental Hotel, Winston looked at the bounty information for Charlotte Doyle and his four companions. He then wrote something on a piece of paper and handed it to the subordinate beside him.

Soon, the bounties for Charlotte and the others no longer appeared in the rolling missions on the mission information board, but the bounties were not canceled.

Lowering the bounty was something Winston could do, but canceling the bounty was impossible unless the issuer initiated it. No one else could, not even Winston, the owner of the New York Continental Hotel, could break the rules.

Inside the Continental Hotel, Charlotte Doyle was talking with Ginny in his room: "Golden Secretary, the renovation of the agency needs to be arranged as soon as possible. We can't be closed for too long. Also, ask our next-door neighbor if they have any intention of selling."

"I plan to expand our indoor training ground. As for the original training ground, it can be converted into a Recovery Room."

Listening to Charlotte's plan, Ginny thought for a moment and then said: "Boss, aren't you considering building the training ground in the suburbs? The cost would be much lower there."

Charlotte heard this and asked strangely: "Ginny, don't we have enough money?"

"Boss, we still have 20 million US dollars in the company's account. This amount includes the 6 million that came in the day before yesterday."

"If we acquire the property next door, the cost will be much higher. If we go to the suburbs, you can buy a manor and a large piece of land with the same amount of money."

As a qualified secretary, Ginny naturally offered some reasonable suggestions.

Charlotte thought for a moment and felt that it was unnecessary to separate the agency and the training ground too far apart. He then said: "For now, let's purchase the property next door. We won't consider the suburbs for the time being."

"Ginny, I also have a batch of gold and jewelry here, which I obtained from Viggo last time. I will hand them over to you then, and you can deal with them as you see fit."

Hearing Charlotte's instructions, Ginny said helplessly: "You are the Boss, you have the final say. As for the sale of the gold and jewelry, I will resolve it as soon as possible."

Seeing Ginny turn to leave the room, Charlotte reminded her: "Don't forget about John Wick's matter."

"Got it, Boss!" Ginny didn't look back, her high heels clicking as she swayed out of Charlotte's room.

The next day.

Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement Logistics Directorate - Three-Wing Building. Agent Phil Coulson, whose hairline had yet to recede, was rushing towards the Director's office, holding a tablet.

"Director, this is the latest reported anomaly. Please take a look."

Nick Fury took the tablet from Phil Coulson. A video was playing on it. He clicked to play.

The screen showed an Asian teenager, moving at extreme speed, charging towards a woman holding a gun. One punch.

He sent the woman flying, crashing into a lamppost...

After watching the video, Nick Fury said in a low voice, "When did this happen?"

"3 days ago!"

Nick Fury played the video again, focusing on the speed of the man in the video and the scene where he sent someone flying with one punch.

This wasn't throwing someone; it was sending them flying. The difference was immense.

Especially since the Asian teenager in the video was clearly a child.

"Coulson, have you found any information on this Asian teenager from the video?"

Hearing Director Fury's question, Coulson immediately replied, "Director, the teenager in the video is named Rock Lee, 13 years old. He lives at the Charlotte Agency on 71st Avenue of Forest Hills, Queens..."

"His identity information was processed through the Channel of The Continental Hotel. In fact, we have no information on him from birth to the age of 13."

Listening to Coulson's report, Nick Fury stood up from his chair, stroked his chin, and after some thought, said, "Is he an Assassin?"

Coulson nodded and continued, "According to the information we've found, Rock Lee's identity was processed by Charlotte Doyle through The Continental Hotel. Charlotte Doyle is a registered member of The Continental Hotel and a legendary Assassin in the assassin world."

"This agency is one of his properties and serves as a window for accepting external missions."

Hearing that Charlotte was a legendary Assassin, Nick Fury showed a hint of disdain. An Assassin was nothing more than a rat in the gutter.

Seeing the Director's dismissive look, Coulson emphasized, "We just received the latest news: Charlotte Doyle annihilated the Brotherhood of Assassins two days ago."

Hearing that the Brotherhood of Assassins was annihilated by Charlotte Doyle, Nick Fury was slightly surprised but still didn't attach much importance to it. However, he saw the 13-year-old Asian teenager as a promising prospect. If he could be brainwashed and trained, he would be a valuable asset.

"Coulson, take this video to the intelligence department for analysis of the speed and strength of the teenager. Once confirmed, conduct information gathering and risk assessment."

"Finally, I have another task for you. If his age and other aspects are within acceptable limits, try to make contact with the Target. He's still a child, what's he doing following an Assassin?"

"If possible, send him to one of our academies for schooling. A 13-year-old child should be in school, doing his primary job: learning!"

Nick Fury spoke with noble intentions. Whether it was a regular school or a special agent academy was a matter of opinion.

Having received his mission, Coulson greeted Nick Fury and left the Director's office.
