The Bowery King's Retreat

The Arbiter walked out of the Charlotte Agency.

At this moment, Killer Zero, who had been thrown outside, came before the Arbiter and said with his head bowed, "I'm sorry, I'm not their match."

Thinking of the terror of Charlotte Doyle, the Arbiter was not angry. With a calm expression, he slowly said, "It's not your fault. Charlotte Doyle is too strong. We don't need to deal with this for now. It seems the headquarters needs to send some people over."

The Arbiter knew very well that today, when she brought Zero and the others into the Charlotte Agency, someone would surely be watching in secret, wanting to see if she, who came from the High Table, would suffer a loss against this legendary killer.

However, shortly after entering, Zero and the others were thrown out. Although Zero could not represent the face of the High Table, her prestige would definitely be affected.

At least others would know that in the first contest, she lost.

In 7 days, she had to perfectly resolve the High Table's judgment, especially concerning the Bowery and the Continental Hotel. As for Charlotte's side, with the opponent's strength, she believed that the opponent could definitely find a way through the upper channels.

After all, Charlotte Doyle's strength was worth that price.

On the other side, The King of Bowery stood in his 'Internet Center' and chuckled as he listened to Eila's report, "She has times when she suffers losses too."

Eila's expression was calm, and he did not laugh along with The King of Bowery. Instead, he said, "King, Charlotte was able to block the Arbiter because he has the strength. After all, Charlotte had already proven himself outside the Continental Hotel before."

"Moreover, his subordinates are not simple. Even that secretary came from the Brotherhood of Assassins."

Eila paused for a moment before continuing, "But we don't have the strength to stop the Arbiter. Furthermore, since the Arbiter suffered a loss at Charlotte's place, he might try to regain his face by using us and establish his authority."

The King of Bowery pondered for a moment. He knew that he could not stop the High Table's judgment. They didn't even need the High Table to send a large number of people; he couldn't even withstand the power of the Arbiter alone.

Moreover, if they used him to establish authority, it wouldn't be as simple as him not having to move or give up his throne. He might face death. Unless the Arbiter strictly followed the rules, he would have a way to survive, but he would lose everything.

Losing the Bowery and his subordinates, what difference would that make compared to death? He would eventually die at the hands of his former enemies.

Finally, The King of Bowery hesitated and said, "Eila, can we seek help from Charlotte Doyle?"

Eila thought for a moment and said, "We can try, but what can we offer?"

"What can we offer?" The King of Bowery thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what price he could pay to gain Charlotte Doyle's help.

He didn't even understand why Charlotte Doyle would protect John Wick.

"Eila, let's try tomorrow. Ask what price we can pay for Charlotte Doyle to protect us."

"If Charlotte Doyle can make the High Table stop pursuing John Wick, then he should be able to stop pursuing us as well."

"Even if we have to fight the High Table, with Charlotte Doyle around, our chances of winning will be greater."

Eila nodded, indicating he understood.

The King of Bowery stood on the rooftop, the cold wind whistling past. Looking at the pigeon coops around him, he thought to himself, "I hope we can safely get through this crisis."

He never imagined that simply giving John Wick a handgun back then would lead to such serious consequences.

Continental Hotel.

Winston put down the newspaper he was holding and looked at the message from his subordinate, murmuring, "Charlotte sent John Wick away and even embarrassed an Arbiter."

"This is the prelude to a war with the High Table." He then thought of Charlotte Doyle's strength, as well as those few subordinates who couldn't be underestimated.

Winston understood very well that the High Table wasn't monolithic. Given Charlotte's strength, the possibility of him negotiating with the Arbiters wasn't nonexistent, but rather very high.

He then considered his own predicament and felt he needed to do something...

The next day.

"Sign in!"

Ding. Sign-in successful. Received 5000 copper coins.

Charlotte Doyle walked out of his room and into the office lobby. The entire team was already assembled.

Ginny, holding bread and milk, said, "Boss, here's your breakfast."

Charlotte walked forward, took the breakfast from Ginny's hand, took a sip of milk, and asked, "How's the preparation going?"

Ginny smiled and said, "It's all done. Our flight is at ten this morning, direct to Casablanca."

"Also, Carlos has been contacted. He's willing to work for you and become one of your Arbiters, but he'll only pledge his loyalty after we've finished this task."

"His son hasn't graduated yet, and Carlos is training with him."

"He asked me to convey his apologies for not being able to participate in this mission."

Hearing Ginny's report, Charlotte smiled and said, "Excellent. This way, our team expands again."

"As for this Action, whether Carlos and the others come or not, the result will be the same. Let him focus on training his son."

"After we return from Casablanca, the landlord next door should also be back. Ginny, please expedite the expansion of the office then."

Looking at the confident Charlotte Doyle, a smile also appeared on Ginny's lips. "I'll get it done quickly when we return. I've also found buyers for the gold and jewelry, and I'll deal with them directly upon our return."

"Boss, after breakfast, we need to head to the airport."

Charlotte Doyle nodded, glanced at everyone, and said to Iruka, "Iruka, are the three of you ready? This mission won't be easy."

"Lord Charlotte, please rest assured. We are prepared for the mission," Iruka replied respectfully.

"Leave it to me, please don't worry. The Lotus of Konoha will bloom once more."

Seeing Rock Lee's passionate demeanor, Charlotte smiled. After taking a few bites of bread, he said, "Let's go!"

As for Sasuke Uchiha, he still maintained his cool appearance, not speaking.

Shortly after Charlotte Doyle and the other four left, the Arbiter in his room at The Continental Hotel immediately received the information.

He also learned that Charlotte and the others' flight was bound for Casablanca.

Looking at the subordinate reporting to him, the Arbiter murmured, "Are they going to see the Elder?"

He then glanced at the watch on his wrist and said, "There are still 6 days left..."

Meanwhile.

Eila looked at the locked door of the Charlotte Agency, which had a "Closed for Business" sign hanging on it, his expression grave.

He knew they were in trouble.

Charlotte Doyle had left, and the entire agency had left with him, even temporarily suspending business.

Their escape route was gone. Eila no longer hesitated and immediately rushed back to Bowery to report this situation to The King of Bowery.
