The Dragon Bones' Whereabouts

Charlotte Doyle didn't mind Madame Gao's slow realization and instead said, "I've already told you what you wanted to know."

"Now, should you tell me if you have found any trace of the Dragon Bone?"

Madame Gao looked at the man before her, her mind racing. After a moment's thought, she said, "I can tell you the information you want, but I beg you to grant me one request."

"I won't make any demands like begging you to spare my life. It's just that we Japan believe in returning to one's roots and finding peace in the earth. I hope the Hand can send my body back for a proper burial."

"Such a request should be very simple for you."

Upon hearing Madame Gao's plan, Charlotte revealed a mysterious smile and said, "Returning to one's roots, huh? That's a request I can grant, but you must tell me the information I want to know."

At this moment, Charlotte was thinking that sending the ashes back was a way of returning to one's roots; as for wanting to bring the physical body back for resurrection?

Madame Gao, you're dreaming...

Hearing Charlotte Doyle agree, Madame Gao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, because Charlotte had the Sharingan and an exceptionally strong will, making it impossible for her to enter his mind or discern his true intentions.

I could only make this simple request, guessing that it wouldn't be blocked by the other party, and now it seems that I have achieved my goal.

High Table, Charlotte, the Continental Hotel, just you wait. When I am resurrected, you will face the Hand's full-scale revenge.

Madame Gao paused to gather her thoughts, then slowly said, "I don't know where you learned about the Dragon Bone, nor what you want Dragon Bone for, but I can tell you clearly."

"The Dragon Bone should be located below Hell's Kitchen. As for the exact location, I haven't found it yet since I've only been in New York for a short time, but I can confirm that it's in Hell's Kitchen."

Charlotte wasn't surprised to hear that Madame Gao hadn't found the Dragon Bone yet. After all, there was still a long time before Madame Gao would start digging at the location where she had found the Dragon Bone. She then asked, "Tell me where the Dragon Bone couldn't possibly exist, since you've ruled them out."

Seeing that Charlotte's request was so simple, Madame Gao replied without hesitation, "Alright, I will now tell you about the places we have explored. Please take notes. No trace of Dragon Bone was found in these places after the exploration."

Charlotte looked at Ginny, who was still checking the documents, and said, "Ginny, write down everything Madame Gao said."

Soon, Madame Gao listed all the places that had been ruled out, and even offered some of her guesses that the Dragon Bone might be located there.

After giving her final instructions, Madame Gao gave a phone number, hoping Charlotte's men would call it so someone could collect her body. She then closed her eyes and awaited judgment.

Seeing that Madame Gao had finished explaining everything she needed to, Charlotte gestured to Iruka beside her and said, "Take care of Madame Gao."

Iruka walked up behind Madame Gao and pierced her heart through her back with Kunai, ending Madame Gao life instantly. After carefully checking to confirm her death, he nodded to Charlotte.

Seeing that all this had been done, Charlotte picked up the phone, but instead of dialing the number Madame Gao had given her, she called Charlie at the Continental Hotel and said, "Charlie, Charlotte Agency, one bento box."

After hanging up the phone, Charlotte said to Iruka, who was standing opposite her, "Iruka, go with Charlie later and take Madame Gao's body to the Continental Hotel."

"I need you to witness Madame Gao's body being cremated, then collect the ashes, and contact the person Madame Gao mentioned to send her back to her roots."

Charlotte was fully aware of Madame Gao's plan to resurrect herself; anyone unaware of this could easily be fooled by her. Now?

Resurrected? I didn't scatter your ashes; that's all because I, Charlotte Doyle, kept my promise.

Standing opposite him, Umino Iruka respectfully replied, "Yes, Lord Charlotte."

At this moment, Ginny had finished comparing the information provided by Madame Gao. She stood up and came to Charlotte, saying, "Boss, I have finished comparing all the information."

"Aside from the places Madame Gao has already investigated, there are three other locations that are most suspicious."

"The buildings in these three locations were all constructed by the Rand Enterprises, which you mentioned."

"One of them has been abandoned for more than ten years and has never resumed construction. The other two locations are the police station building in Hell's Kitchen and an apartment building constructed by the Rand Enterprises."

"And all three buildings were constructed before the Rand Couple' plane crash."

Hearing Ginny's analysis, Charlotte nodded and then said, "Ginny, I have a task for you: first, buy the two buildings besides the police station. With our assets, we should be able to do it."

"We'll start by excavating these two buildings. If we don't get what I want, then we'll just have to trouble the Hell's Kitchen police station to relocate."

Ginny thought for a moment and said, "No problem, Boss. If it's just unfinished buildings and apartments, you can easily raise the funds to acquire them by borrowing your shares."

Charlotte shook her head and said, "No need for a loan, wait for my news."

Charlotte then took out her phone, selected video call mode, Kingpin.

"Kingpin, your mission is essentially complete."

As she spoke, Charlotte pointed the camera at Madame Gao was already lying on the ground.

On the other side, through a video call, Kingpin saw the Kunai in Madame Gao's heart and visibly breathed a sigh of relief before saying, "Charlotte, your efficiency is truly remarkable."

"I will arrange for someone to deliver the remaining one billion to you tomorrow."

Charlotte laughed and said, "Okay, it's settled then!"

Charlotte then hung up the phone and said to Ginny, "The money will be available tomorrow."

Seeing that Charlotte had quickly resolved the issue of funding for the acquisition, Ginny said, "Boss, as soon as the money arrives, I will proceed with the acquisition of the building."

Charlotte nodded, glanced at her four subordinates present, and then said, "This bounty operation is basically complete. The remaining loose ends will likely be dealt with by the assassins for the reward."

"Now, let me tell you about your mission rewards."

"Iruka, report all the information about the Hand members you killed to the Continental Hotel. They have the bounties I posted there; collect yours."

Charlotte looked at the group again and then said, "I'll give each of them an extra 10 million US dollars as compensation for this mission."

However, the recent successes have been quite impressive, and Charlotte is preparing to distribute a large number of rewards to her subordinates.
