Sword Points to High Table

After seeing Iruka take John to the Recovery Room, Charlotte gave instructions: "Sasuke, go outside and check if any suicidal guys have followed us."

"If any suicidal assassins show up, don't hold back. Deal with them directly."

"Understood, Lord Charlotte." With that, Sasuke Uchiha activated his Sharingan and walked out of the office.

Only Rock Lee, Ginny, and Charlotte Doyle remained in the room.

Ginny looked at the man before her, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Boss, you want to become an Elder of the High Table?"

This was too crazy. Even Ginny, who came from the Brotherhood of Assassins, found this matter too insane. It wasn't because Charlotte Doyle lacked the strength, but because they were too short-handed.

Including the newly joined John Wick, they were only six people in total.

Seeing Ginny's shocked expression, Charlotte chuckled, "Nothing is set in stone. With our strength, becoming a member of the Thirteen Seats of the High Table is more than enough."

"Since we don't know the location of the High Table headquarters or its Elder personnel, here we have a ready-made guide."

Ginny looked at the confident Charlotte and quickly said, "Boss, I'm not questioning your strength, but we don't have enough subordinates."

"Although I don't know the specific structure of the High Table's executives, managing eighty percent of the world's assassins and the Continental Hotels in every major city requires a considerable number of people."

"But we are only a few people..."

Ginny didn't finish her sentence, but her meaning was very clear: their team lacked the manpower to support their management. Even if they replaced a seat, they still wouldn't be able to control the sphere of influence attached to that seat.

Listening to Ginny's explanation, Charlotte Doyle chuckled, "No, Ginny, first you need to know that we are not just these six people. Over the years, I have accumulated connections. As long as I give the word, many assassins will be willing to serve me."

"In fact, John Wick's current situation could give us an opportunity to take over the allegiance of a faction."

"Besides, I don't need to personally manage these places. I only need a few Arbiters to handle routine patrols."

Upon hearing the word "Arbiters," Ginny immediately thought of John Wick. With his strength, if he were to become Charlotte's Arbiter, he would likely be able to complete the task well.

However, Ginny still shook her head, "Boss, John Wick alone is not enough. Are you going to send out Iruka and the others?"

"Actually, I have someone to recommend!"

Hearing that Ginny had someone to recommend, Charlotte was a little curious and asked, "Who?"

"Carlos and Wesley."

Upon hearing these names, Charlotte was slightly stunned, then asked in surprise, "Did Cross train his son?"

"He hasn't finished his training yet, but he's close. Carlos said Wesley has excellent talent, even stronger than him. If you need manpower, Boss, you can talk to them. I believe Carlos would be very willing."

Charlotte knew that Wesley's potential was indeed greater than Cross's, but he was still a bit curious, "Didn't he want his son to live an ordinary life?"

Ginny smiled, "After what happened, Wesley can't go back to an ordinary life. Besides, Carlos also wants his child to have some self-protection ability. Otherwise, if they encounter another special situation, he might not have the chance to save his son again."

Hearing Ginny say this, Charlotte guessed that Cross must have encountered something later that made him completely repent, but he was still unsure and said, "Let's talk to him when there's time. If he and his son are willing, they'll be more than enough to be Arbiters."

Ginny nodded, looking at the man before her, an ambitious man, which made her even more fascinated.

It was just that Ginny didn't know that Charlotte's desire to take over the High Table wasn't for power, nor to rule the world's assassins, but simply to connect the New York Continental Hotel's task system to his own Task Gathering Hall. Only in this way would his subordinates, the ninjas, have an endless stream of tasks to accept.

Let alone that the Task Gathering Hall could only accept nine tasks a day at most, at present, Charlotte Agency often didn't get a single task for several days. After all, the agency's reputation wasn't that great, and its competitiveness couldn't be compared to the Continental Hotel.

At this moment, the agency's door was pushed open, and Sasuke Uchiha walked in.

Looking at Sasuke, who was spotless, Ginny asked curiously, "Are there any assassins outside trying to break in?"

Sasuke ignored Ginny at this moment and reported to Charlotte, "Lord Charlotte, there were a few stalker assassins outside. I've already dealt with them."

"As for the FBI personnel that Teacher Iruka mentioned, they withdrew two days ago and haven't reappeared."

Hearing FBI, Ginny exclaimed, "What?"

Obviously, he didn't understand why the FBI would come looking for them. For people like them, as long as they didn't do anything outrageous in public, they and the authorities would mind their own business.

Seeing Ginny's confusion, Charlotte explained the matter of the FBI coming to them before.

As for the true identity of this FBI, Charlotte didn't elaborate, only briefly explaining the general situation.

Hearing that it was the FBI who came last time for protecting Wesley, and their purpose was to recruit Rock Lee, Ginny didn't say anything more.

Charlotte didn't pay attention to Sasuke killing a few stalker assassins. He was only surprised that this S.H.I.E.L.D., which hadn't changed its name yet, had withdrawn its personnel.

This situation made Charlotte a little confused. With Nick Fury's usual behavior, could he be at ease with something not under his control?

Could it be that they weren't interested in them?

After carefully considering the strength they had displayed, it was possible that Black Egg didn't take them seriously.

After all, with Black Egg cooperating with the Skrulls and having Captain Marvel as a backer, it wasn't impossible that he wouldn't take a few assassins seriously.

It was just that Charlotte didn't know that Nick Fury wasn't uninterested in them, but rather mistook them for members of the Yakuza.

Nick Fury knew that such brainwashed, organized ninjas, unless there was a major change, like Black Widow, couldn't be recruited, so there was no need to waste personnel on them.

It was such a wonderful misunderstanding that made Nick Fury give up on Charlotte and his group. By the time he understood Charlotte's strength again, it was already a long time later.

It was a pity that Nick Fury didn't know that the later he made contact, the more subordinates Charlotte would have, and the stronger he would become.

By the time the idea arose again, the difficulty would probably increase exponentially!
