Banquet (Happy New Year, everyone)

At the entrance of Continental Hotel.

Winston had been waiting for quite some time.

Three days have passed since the Adjudicator last appeared before him, received a call from the Elder, and let him go.

When Winston received the list of new Elder announced by the High Table, he was stunned. He couldn't understand how an assassin, even a Legendary Assassin, one of the top assassins in the country, could become someone above the rules.

But no matter how much he couldn't understand it, the facts were right in front of him, and he could only accept them. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh that he was getting old and couldn't keep up with the times.

As for why he escaped the judgment of the High Table this time, it was probably because John Wick sought help from Charlotte Doyle.

Just as Winston was marveling at the scene, three Rolls-Royce pulled up and stopped in front of the Continental Hotel. A greeter quickly walked to the car, opened the door, and respectfully invited the people inside.

Charlotte stepped forward, flanked by the Adjudicator and Golden Secretary on either side, followed by Umino Iruka, Rock Lee, and Sasuke Uchiha, with John Wick, Carlos, and Wesley bringing up the rear.

Upon seeing Charlotte Doyle approach, Winston hurriedly stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and said, "It is a great honor to have you here, Elder Charlotte Doyle."

Charlotte Doyle stepped forward and gave Winston a light hug, saying with a smile, "Manager Winston, we're all old friends, no need to be so polite."

Seeing Charlotte's usual attitude, Winston breathed a slight sigh of relief, but still maintained a respectful expression, saying, "You are now High Table Elders, so this is only natural; the Rules cannot be broken."

When Winston said that the Rules couldn't be broken, Charlotte smiled but didn't say anything. At that moment, the doorman next to her very perceptively opened the hotel door.

Winston bowed slightly and extended a hand, saying, "Please, Elder Charlotte."

Charlotte didn't stand on ceremony and led the two beauties into the Continental Hotel.

Winston stood outside the hotel, watching Charlotte Doyle's men enter. When John Wick approached, he whispered, "Thank you!"

John Wick didn't say much, just nodded, and went into the hotel with Carlos and his son.

Upon entering the Continental Hotel, the Adjudicator led Charlotte Doyle to the head table in the banquet area.

The banquet was now packed with guests, including all the leaders of the High Table's subordinate factions from across the United States, as well as congressmen and politicians supported by the High Table.

As for lone wolves and assassins, sorry, they're not qualified to participate. Otherwise, this Legion would probably overwhelm all the Continental Hotel and still not be able to accommodate them all.

Upon seeing someone appear on the stage, and recognizing Charlotte Doyle and the Adjudicator, the banquet hall instantly fell silent.

Seeing that everyone had quieted down, the Adjudicator walked to the Mike, turned it on, and said, "Today is a special day. The High Table welcomes its new Elder, Charlotte Doyle!"

The Adjudicator finished speaking, the spotlight shone on Charlotte Doyle, and everyone in the room turned their attention to Charlotte.

The crowd below was filled with curiosity about the new High Table Elders. In the past month, Charlotte Doyle had stirred up a storm in New York, first destroying the powerful Brotherhood of Assassins, then massacring the headquarters of the Russian mob, and finally killing numerous assassins outside the Continental Hotel.

This incredibly powerful person has now risen to a high position, becoming a figure above everyone else. Among those below, some look on with curiosity, some with excitement and admiration, and others are deep in thought. They seem to have seen a new path.

Seeing everyone's gaze turn to Charlotte Doyle, the Adjudicator didn't mince words and directly said, "Now, please welcome Elder Charlotte Doyle to speak."

The Adjudicator then gave up the Mike, Charlotte Doyle stepped forward, looking at the crowd below, and slowly began to speak, "Becoming Elder of the High Table is a very happy thing."

"The entire United States is now under my sphere of influence, and the existing Rules remain unchanged."

"However, I will bring you something new in the days to come."

Charlotte Doyle paused for a moment, at which point Golden Secretary manipulated the center console to display a video on the electronic screen. In the video, the injured John Wick entered Wax Bath and emerged completely unharmed after one night.

Charlotte Doyle explained, "Wax Bath, a magical substance that stimulates white blood cells and accelerates the recovery process, allow bruises, cuts, and fractures to heal in just a few hours."

"And I, Charlotte Doyle, will use this miraculous item to build a dedicated recovery room at the New York Continental Hotel. In addition to New York and Morocco, I will also select two more the Continental Hotel in other cities to build recovery rooms."

"From now on, any force or individual under the High Table will be able to enjoy this service."

Upon hearing Charlotte Doyle's words, everyone applauded. They were all very welcoming of such a treasure that could restore health quickly.

Although they couldn't have it built right in front of their own house, as long as the New York Continental Hotel had it, they could enjoy it too. After all, no one can guarantee they'll never get hurt, and even if they were fine, what about their top henchmen?

It's no joke that it takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, but with a recovery room, they can be Reparo in just a few hours and regain the ability to fight.

Charlotte gestured for everyone to be quiet, and the applause quickly subsided.

Charlotte, with a smile on her face, announced, "Now, I declare the banquet officially open!"

Without excessive speeches or platitudes, Charlotte Doyle announced her identity and the new services to be launched at the Continental Hotel before stepping down from the stage.

Upon arriving at the banquet area, Ginny, holding a bottle of Macallan Lalique 55 Year Old Single Malt Whisky, approached Charlotte Doyle and said, "This is a fine whisky Winston sent you. Would you like to try it now?"

Charlotte Doyle took the Macallan Lalique 55 from Ginny's hand and asked, "Ginny, the whole set, or just a single bottle?"

Ginny smiled and said, "Boss, of course it's the whole set. This is an extra bottle. Would you like to try it now?"

Charlotte, upon hearing it was a set plus a bottle, smiled and said, "Please thank Winston for me; he's very kind."

This set of Macallan Lalique 55 Year Old Single Malt Whisky is not cheap; a set costs US Dollar 800,000. Most importantly, it's a limited edition, with only 420 sets available worldwide.

Ginny took the whiskey and went to open it for Charlotte. Just then, a very muscular, over 200-pound white man walked over.

Looking at Kingpin dressed in a suit, Charlotte smiled and said, "Oh, Kingpin."

"You're not affiliated with the High Table faction, so what brings you to today's banquet?"

Kingpin walked up to Charlotte, extended a hand, and said, "Congratulations, Charlotte, on becoming one of the rulers of the High Table."
