Premeditation

Winston's voice had lost its initial confidence, but he still spoke, "He broke the rules in my hotel."

The Arbiter's face was stern as he said, "That's precisely the issue, it's your hotel."

"What about your loyalty?"

Winston stared at the aggressive Arbiter and said, "I've served for over forty years..."

The Arbiter looked at Winston, his expression solemn, and said, "Under the High Table, you serve the High Table. The High Table is above all else."

"I know you are loyal, but this matter cannot be ignored."

"Let me be clear, I am here to pass judgment on you."

"You have one week to settle your affairs."

Hearing the Arbiter speak like this, Winston was shocked. "What did you say?"

The Arbiter continued, "At that time, your successor will be appointed."

"Only through the existence of rules can we differentiate ourselves from..."

Winston interjected, "Animals."

The Arbiter nodded. "Precisely."

"You have seven days."

With that, the Arbiter turned to leave. After taking two steps, he turned back to Winston and said, "Meanwhile, if you need assistance with the transition, you can find me in Room 217."

Winston looked at the Arbiter and said, "I hope you enjoy your stay at The Continental Hotel."

Winston said this not to welcome him, but to remind the Arbiter that he was still the master of The Continental Hotel.

The Arbiter gave Winston a deep look, said no more, and turned to leave.

In the training room.

Charlotte was refining Chakra. For three years since awakening his system, he had been training his body and refining Chakra.

After all, he had come into contact with Chakra for too short a time. Although the system existed, it could grant him more Chakra and character skills, and allow him to use these skills smoothly.

However, Charlotte had started using Chakra too late. Unlike in the Naruto World, where people began to come into contact with Chakra from the age of five or six.

The key point was that even at the same age of five or six, Charlotte couldn't do what the children in the Naruto World could, jumping onto a rooftop with a single bound, or achieve the same speed.

The difference in the number of body cells clearly told Charlotte that his physical fitness was that of an ordinary person in the Marvel World.

Chakra is born from the combination of mental power and cellular energy. If one has fewer cells and poor physical quality, they will correspondingly have less chakra.

It can be said that Charlotte has put in a great deal of effort to catch up to the third-year students of the Ninja Academy during these three years of training.

From the moment Umino Iruka was recruited, he became his ninja teacher. Although Charlotte had some understanding and guesses about ninjutsu, actually using it was another matter entirely.

He had trained in climbing trees and walking on water, but in terms of mastering ninjutsu, besides the basic skills, he had only additionally learned the Clone Technique and Transformation Jutsu. As for the Substitution Technique, the one that came with the system was much more appealing.

As for the so-called Rasengan and Chidori Stream, it wasn't that Charlotte didn't want to develop them himself, but his strength simply didn't allow it.

If you told a ninja academy student who wasn't training full-time, even if you explained the principles, they wouldn't be able to figure out these two ninjutsu on their own.

It wasn't that Charlotte was stupid, but he had simply been exposed to it for too short a time.

Charlotte was currently sitting on a cushion, refining his chakra, when he suddenly heard the door to the training room being opened.

He stopped refining his chakra and gestured for John Wick, who was walking over, to come closer, saying, "Have a seat here."

John Wick sat down on a cushion opposite Charlotte and quietly looked at Charlotte.

"Have your injuries all healed?"

John touched his shoulder and neck, then replied, "They've all healed. Your recovery room is really effective."

Charlotte nodded, then said, "To become one of the Thirteen Seats of the High Table, the first thing you need to do is find the location of the High Table's headquarters."

"I don't know the specific location. Do you know?"

John Wick pondered for a moment before replying, "I don't know the specific location of the High Table's headquarters, but I only know it's roughly in the deserts of Casablanca."

"There's a faction of Elders stationed there year-round."

Hearing John mention the deserts of Casablanca, Charlotte smiled and said, "If you go there now, can you meet that faction of Elders?"

John thought about it and replied uncertainly, "If it were just me, there might be a chance I'd be brought before an Elder. If we went together, the High Table Elders might not show themselves."

"Alright, then you go to Casablanca and meet the High Table Elder. All you need to do is find him and protect yourself."

Hearing Charlotte say this, John asked with curiosity, "It's a desert there. How will you find me later?"

Charlotte smiled, not explaining the matter of the ninja hounds to John, and simply said, "I have a way to locate you. As long as you can enter the High Table headquarters and meet the Elder inside, that's enough."

John Wick nodded, knowing what he had to do. At this moment, Charlotte took out a kunai engraved with a special pattern and handed it to John Wick, then said, "After this, go find Iruka. He'll take you through Kingpin's special channel. From there, you'll travel to Casablanca by ship."

Hearing the name Kingpin, John was taken aback. The ruler of Hell's Kitchen, a criminal organization not affiliated with the High Table. He hadn't expected Charlotte to have contact with him.

Taking the kunai with the special pattern from Charlotte's hand, John Wick left the training room.

As Charlotte watched John Wick leave, he murmured, "Soon, the sky of The Continental Hotel will change too."

Meanwhile.

Bowery King (referred to as The King of Bowery for short) was at his gang's headquarters when Eila walked over and said, "An Arbiter wishes to see you."

The King of Bowery looked at his subordinate and let out a deep sigh, thinking to himself, An Arbiter appearing... it seems something bad is about to happen.

At this moment, The King of Bowery, holding an umbrella, went up to the rooftop where he kept his pigeons, waiting for the Arbiter's arrival.

Soon, Eila arrived with the Arbiter.

The King of Bowery looked at the approaching Arbiter and smiled, saying, "Welcome to my mission control center, my action hub, my super information flight route."

"Here, I grasp the slightest stirrings on the streets, as well as the ways of the world."

The Arbiter glanced around, surprised, and asked, "Using pigeons?"

The King of Bowery also looked at the pigeons around them, then replied, "That's right. In your eyes, they're rats with wings, but in my eyes, they're the internet."

The King of Bowery said confidently, "No IP addresses, no digital traces, untraceable, unhackable, unsearchable."
