Bounty Order

As Coulson left, the Charlotte Agency returned to its usual quiet.

Charlotte didn't bother dealing with the surveillance personnel left outside.

A bunch of grunts, let them watch if they want. He had other things to do and didn't want to poke the hornet's nest of S.H.I.E.L.D. just yet.

However, if they were foolish enough, Charlotte wouldn't mind sending them to report to the Lady of Death!

Although the Charlotte Agency had opened, it had only been three days and hadn't received any mission requests.

On the other hand, six days had passed since the agency began renovations. During this time, Charlotte had persisted in signing in daily and finally obtained another Ninja Recruitment Scroll.

As for the other five sign-ins, three were for 5000 Copper Coins, and two were for 200 Reputation Points.

Charlotte had now accumulated 7896 Reputation Points, 2.937 million Copper Coins, 1058 Gold Coins, and one Ninja Recruitment Scroll.

Charlotte secretly thought, When I reach ten thousand, ten thousand Reputation Points, I'll upgrade Blue Snake. Speaking of which, I haven't summoned Blue Snake for a chat yet.

Closing the system interface, Charlotte was about to leave home for the agency when a message arrived on his phone.

Sender name unknown, public bounty, John Wick, 7 million US dollars!

Seeing this message, Charlotte knew that John had killed Gina Antonio, the Camorra Mafia boss and a High Table member.

At this moment, all registered assassins at The Continental Hotel had received this public bounty order. Looking at the information, many assassins were speechless.

The previous legendary assassin, Charlotte Doyle, was only put on a public bounty with a reward of merely 2 million US dollars, and yet outside The Continental Hotel, he had caused a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

This time, it was an even more serious public bounty order, with the target being the former legendary assassin, Night Demon.

Public bounty and public bounty order were two entirely different types of bounties. The former was just one of many bounty missions on The Continental Hotel's mission board, while a public bounty order directly transmitted the information to every assassin.

Some newer assassins who were unaware of John's Strength chose to give up the mission. After all, as fellow legendary assassins, Charlotte Doyle's reputation had been proven three days ago. It was safe to assume this former legend wouldn't be much worse.

Conversely, some veteran assassins who had witnessed John Wick became interested in this mission.

After all, although John's Strength was formidable, it was still within their acceptable range. He could get injured by a gunshot, and a headshot would be fatal. The key point was that John Wick didn't have the Strength to split bullets...

7 million US dollars was enough for them to risk it for one shot.

Just as Charlotte was about to leave his home, his phone rang again.

"Boss, John Wick, whose life you saved before, is on the bounty list again, and it's a public bounty order with a reward reaching 7 million US dollars."

"His value is increasing really fast!"

"Boss, your investment in him might be a loss."

Charlotte smiled, "Golden Secretary, no need to worry. My investments won't lose money, and he won't die either."

"Boss, as long as you're confident, that's all that matters. I was just reminding you."

"Also, Carlos transferred 4 million US dollars to us. He asked me to tell you that he managed to find Sloan's cash, but he couldn't access the money in bank cards, including the money of other Brotherhood members. None of it is accessible in bank accounts."

Hearing about more money coming in, Charlotte smiled, "Tell him I appreciate the thought. If there are any more missions, remember to contact Charlotte Agency."

As for the money in the bank cards, Charlotte didn't care. After all, money he couldn't get was as good as non-existent to him.

After hanging up the phone, Charlotte closed the Room Door and drove to the Continental Hotel.

"Mr. Charlotte Doyle, it's a pleasure to see you again."

Charon greeted Charlotte with respect.

Charlotte replied with a smile, "Charon, it's a pleasure to see you too."

"Is the Manager in?"

Charon replied, "He's always here."

"Do you need me to notify him?"

Charlotte smiled, "I'd appreciate that."

Charon picked up the phone and dialed, "Sir, Mr. Charlotte Doyle wishes to pay you a visit."

"Okay, okay!"

Charon hung up the phone and said, "The Manager is in the hotel's dining area. You'll see him when you get there."

Charlotte nodded and headed towards the dining area.

Upon reaching the dining area on the first basement level, Charlotte quickly spotted Winston reading a newspaper. He walked up to the table and sat down opposite him.

Winston folded the newspaper in half and placed it on the table. He adjusted his glasses and slowly began, "Charlotte, you're here about John's matter?"

Looking at the man who controlled the New York Continental Hotel, Charlotte Doyle slowly spoke, "Santino Antonio is very unethical. John had just completed his blood oath when Santino put out a bounty of 7 million US dollars to kill him."

Charlotte paused before continuing, "Most importantly, John Wick cannot die. The Blood Pact Badge I obtained cannot become useless."

Seeing Charlotte's solemn expression, Winston secretly thought, That last sentence is the real point.

He then leisurely said, "Issuing a bounty is the right of every Continental Hotel member."

"Furthermore, Santino Antonio has inherited his family's position and become a member of the High Table, enjoying special privileges. The issuance of the Bounty Order is reasonable and legal."

"The most important point is, Gina Antonio was a member of the High Table herself. John killed a High Table member, and he will inevitably face the High Table's pursuit."

"Whoever kills a member of the High Table will be punished, even those who helped them!"

Charlotte chuckled, "Winston, don't forget Gina Antonio. She was merely a member of the High Table, and a newly inherited one at that. Even Santino Antonio, who has now inherited the Camorra Mafia, is merely a member of the High Table."

"They are not part of the High Table's management, let alone one of the thirteen seats."

"Moreover, I don't think Santino, who succeeded his sister, can withstand John's revenge after offending him."

"After all, this guy burned John's house, the place where he and his wife lived."

Winston sized up Charlotte, asking curiously, "You know John well?"

Charlotte smiled, "Winston, wanna bet? Santino Antonio will definitely flee to The Continental Hotel for refuge, tomorrow night."

Looking at the confident Charlotte Doyle, Winston slowly stood up and said, "I also have full confidence in John!"

"I wish you a pleasant stay at The Continental Hotel, Mr. Charlotte."

Watching Winston leave, Charlotte knew he was going to retrieve the Blood Pact Badge held by Santino Antonio.

At this moment, Charlotte Doyle secretly thought, "Soon, soon, the time will be ripe!"

"This High Table, established for countless years, should change its master!"
