Ambush

On April 25, 2024, by Pencil Dancing.

Charlotte Doyle entered the Naruto interface within The Continental Hotel and completed his daily check-in, receiving 30,000 copper coins as a reward.

"Would you like to upgrade to a distinguished VIP2 user and enjoy double check-in rewards?"

Looking at the recharge invitation that popped up again, Charlotte felt a bit helpless.

It wasn't that he wanted to be a player who doesn't spend money, but he genuinely didn't know how to recharge, so he reluctantly chose to close it.

After obtaining John Wick's Blood Pact Badge, Charlotte Doyle went to The Continental Hotel's service desk, checked out, and left The Continental Hotel.

Seeing that the sky had already darkened, Charlotte Doyle didn't go to his office. Iruka Umino was in charge there, so he didn't need to worry about it for the time being. If he encountered any difficult missions, the other party would contact him. Although Iruka was just a teaching Chunin in Naruto, he could easily take on some missions before the Marvel events began.

Instead, he drove his beloved Mercedes-Benz 300SL to 405 Lexington Avenue, Manhattan, New York. He rented a spacious 200-square-meter apartment in the Chrysler Building for his residence.

Actually, Charlotte had previously looked into the Starlight Tower on Fifth Avenue. The building's clause prohibiting Black people from renting or purchasing had particularly attracted him. An apartment without Black people, to be honest, held a significant appeal for him.

He also wanted to see if he could find the people from that world, but the result was that there was no apartment called Starlight Tower on Fifth Avenue, and those people were nowhere to be found, which honestly disappointed him a little.

At the same time, it also helped him avoid the problem of competing with senior transmigrators.

Finally, before dark, Charlotte drove from Fifth Avenue to Lexington Avenue, slowly driving his car into the underground parking lot of the Chrysler Building.

At this moment, the security guard responsible for the building's underground parking saw Charlotte Doyle's car from a distance, immediately opened the gate, and smiled in salute.

This was mainly because Charlotte Doyle's Mercedes-Benz 300SL was too distinctive. Produced in 1954, this Mercedes-Benz with gull-wing doors was too recognizable, and Charlotte was the only resident in the entire building who was willing to drive such a highly collectible classic car on the road.

That's right, the 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300SL was indeed a true classic car. Charlotte had bought this car from a bankrupt tycoon. At that time, the car had only driven over two thousand kilometers, and the owner had maintained it very well, so it was perfectly drivable.

In Charlotte Doyle's eyes, cars should be driven, not kept in a garage as exhibits, which was not his original intention.

Passing through the gate, he slowly drove the car into the underground garage and arrived at his parking spot. Charlotte parked the car and, as soon as he got out, he felt a killing intent.

A gunshot rang out. In a flash, Charlotte retrieved a kunai from the Naruto space and slashed at the incoming bullet.

"Clang!"

With a crisp impact, the bullet was deflected by Charlotte Doyle.

The next moment, a shuriken was thrown by Charlotte, directly embedding itself in the shooter's neck, killing him instantly.

However, as he fell, his finger on the trigger did not release. Due to the automatic firing, the assault rifle's bullets swept towards the car next to Charlotte.

"Damn it!"

Charlotte cursed inwardly, but his hands didn't stop. He deflected all the incoming bullets, finally saving the car.

And all of this happened in the blink of an eye.

Just after saving his beloved car, without any time to catch his breath, four more gunmen appeared and began firing their weapons at Charlotte Doyle.

A large number of bullets erupted, forming a rain of fire.

Fortunately, the moment Charlotte saw the gunmen, he quickly formed hand seals and used the Substitution Jutsu in time to dodge the barrage of bullets.

However, his beloved car behind him was instantly riddled with holes.

The four gunmen were stunned as they watched Charlotte Doyle in front of them instantly turn into a log. They even stopped pulling the trigger without realizing it.

At this moment, Charlotte, who had appeared beside them through the Substitution Jutsu, spun around rapidly.

With a swish.

He appeared in front of a gunman, and with a slash of his kunai across the throat, the gunman instantly died, collapsing to the ground.

The other three gunmen had just reacted and immediately turned their guns.

Unfortunately, before the three could turn around, Charlotte's figure appeared before them like a ghost, and he instantly slit their throats with his kunai.

With all five gunmen dead, the underground parking lot fell silent.

No other gunmen appeared. Charlotte Doyle walked to his beloved car and looked at the dense bullet holes on the car body, feeling heartbroken.

This was a vintage car he really liked, and he wondered if it could still be repaired.

No longer looking at the battle-damaged Mercedes-Benz 300SL, Charlotte wondered who the audacious person was who dared to attack him.

Charlotte Doyle approached the bodies of the gunmen and discovered they were all Russians. He immediately guessed that Viggo, that scoundrel, was behind all of this.

"Damn Viggo!"

He hadn't retrieved his shuriken from the battle that morning, but had left it at the scene as a mark to let Viggo know that Charlotte, the ninja, had saved the person.

He had intended to intimidate Viggo, but the opposite happened, and instead, the man had sent his subordinates to find him.

Knowing who the target was, the rest of the matter became easier to handle.

Charlotte Doyle took out his phone and dialed a number. The call was quickly connected.

"Charlie, the Chrysler Building parking lot, dinner for five."

"Yes, it's now."

As soon as he hung up the phone, the phone rang a moment later.

Charlotte Doyle glanced at the caller ID and pressed the answer button.

"Charlotte, is that you?"

"John, it's me."

On the other end of the phone, John Wick spoke with a hint of sadness, his voice low. "I should have killed Viggo. That bastard brought people and killed my old friend Marcus. He saved me at The Continental Hotel yesterday."

"Charlotte, Viggo might come after you too. You need to be careful."

Charlotte Doyle looked at the five corpses on the ground and replied, "He already did."

"What?"

"Viggo's subordinates. I've already taken care of all of them."

After hearing that Charlotte Doyle had killed everyone Viggo sent, John Wick said, "It's good that you're okay. I'm going to find that scumbag Viggo now to settle the score. We'll talk later."

With that, John Wick hung up the phone.

Hearing the dial tone, Charlotte Doyle knew John was going to avenge his old friend.

He glanced at his beloved car again and murmured, "Since someone wants to kill you, I won't snatch this kill. But this debt will have to be settled with your Russian mob."
