Mystery Woman

After Tombstone left, Kingpin was the only one left in the room. With a dark expression, he leaned back in his executive chair, then took a phone from the drawer of the desk that had been smashed in half.

He then dialed a mysterious number. Before long, the call connected.

A deep voice came from the other end. "Calling me this late... do you have good news to tell me?"

Kingpin did not answer right away. After a pause, he said coldly, "Things have gone beyond our control. A mysterious silver-haired woman suddenly appeared.

Not only did she save Loren Morgan's life, but she also found the gunman who shot the head of the Morgan family. There's a good chance she already knows we were behind this.

So I've decided to raid Morgan Manor tonight and kill Loren Morgan before he can make a move. But this operation won't be simple, so I need your help."

"Fuck, you called me in the middle of the night just to keep me awake? Raiding Morgan Manor? What the hell were you thinking? Ever since the Morgan family head died, Morgan Manor has been guarded layer upon layer.

The security inside the manor is comparable to an army. What makes you think you can raid it at a time like this? You'd be walking straight into your own grave. Kingpin, I always thought you were smart. Turns out you're dumb as a pig."

The mysterious person's furious scolding made Kingpin lose his temper as well. He snapped without any courtesy, "You'd better watch your tone. You certainly weren't talking like this when you came looking for me.

You said Loren Morgan was a brainless young playboy, a worthless piece of trash, and that killing him would be as easy as killing a chicken. So what the hell is with that silver-haired female assassin who suddenly appeared?

Not only did she kill the people I sent, she even flew to Mexico and burned down a drug lord's headquarters. With methods that ruthless, you still have the nerve to call Loren trash?

Things ended up this way largely because the intelligence you provided was wrong. You have to take responsibility for this.

Don't forget that we're tied to the same boat now. If something happens to me, you won't get away either."

"You're threatening me!"

"This isn't a threat. I'm stating a fact. Of course, if you want to see it as a threat, then it's a threat. So I suggest you start thinking carefully about how to deal with this."

The mysterious person on the other end fell silent after hearing Kingpin's words. After a moment, she continued, "I understand what you mean. I'll handle this matter.

But before then, don't do anything rash, and don't reveal even the slightest bit of information. Otherwise, not even God will be able to save you.

Oh, right. You can use those bottles of serum I gave you before. Trust me, those things will help you get through this crisis. She's just a female assassin. It's nothing serious."

"None of your people died, so of course you can say that easily. I won't waste words with you. I'm giving you one day. By tomorrow night, I'd better see you take action. Otherwise, there'll be no need for us to keep working together."

With that, Kingpin hung up without giving the other party any face. As the underworld emperor of America, he was no pushover. Although the person on the other end had quite the background,

if this matter cost him his life, then there was no reason for him to show that person any respect. Dead was dead either way, so what did he have to fear?

In a forest forty kilometers outside New York, there was a secret underground base. At that moment, a woman in the base listened to the busy tone on the phone, her expression turning ugly.

"Hanging up on someone is very rude, Kingpin. You're becoming more and more irritating. Just wait. I'll make you pay the price." The woman lightly tapped her fingers against the table, her words filled with arrogant disdain.

A moment later, she called one of her subordinates in. "Two things. First, investigate the silver-haired woman who appeared beside Loren. Second, there's no longer any need for Kingpin to remain on the board."

"Understood. Before dawn, I'll turn Kingpin into a corpse." The subordinate nodded and quickly left the base, vanishing into the forest's night in the blink of an eye.

Naturally, Loren knew nothing about the conversation between Kingpin and the mysterious woman, nor about the schemes they were each plotting.

At that moment, he was immersed in his secret laboratory, devoting himself to building the Anti-Gravity Drone. Since the system had rewarded him with a complete technical blueprint, he had been spared the time needed for research and development.

All he needed to do now was manufacture the required parts according to the specifications, then assemble them.

It sounded simple enough, but actually doing it was incredibly difficult. For ordinary people in particular, it would be harder than climbing to the heavens—an almost impossible task.

But Loren was no ordinary person. He was the young master of a top-tier financial dynasty, with vast wealth at his disposal. His family owned all kinds of companies, including military factories capable of producing weapons.

Therefore, even if he could not make a certain part in the laboratory for the time being, one word from him was enough to make countless companies under his command produce it for him at full speed.

Thus, in less than half a day, he had obtained every component needed to assemble the Anti-Gravity Drone.

Of course, he personally crafted the core components. The Anti-Gravity Device and the energy supply system were both completed by him alone, and he had not let a second person know about them.

Therefore, even if the methods for making most of the Anti-Gravity Drone's parts were leaked, he did not have to worry about anyone building a complete Anti-Gravity Drone. That was the confidence that came from mastering core technology.

Once all the parts for the Anti-Gravity Drone had been made, Loren immediately threw himself into assembling it. After careful assembly, a drone resembling a surveillance camera appeared before him and 2B.

"Boss, is this the Anti-Gravity Drone you mentioned? Its design is so strange. It looks like a surveillance camera. Is it really as powerful as you said?" 2B asked curiously.

Because she was not the 2B from the original world, she naturally knew nothing about the Anti-Gravity Drone.

"Yes. Although this Anti-Gravity Drone has a strange appearance, it can ignore gravity and fly at high speed. With current energy-device technology, it can remain airborne for up to twenty-four hours.

Besides its incredible speed and long endurance, it also comes equipped with a bullet launcher and a laser emitter, allowing it to carry out long-range fire strikes. That happens to make up for your weakness in long-range attacks.

So once you equip it, your combat power will definitely reach a new level. As for just how high that new level will be, you'll have to test it yourself."

"Test it myself? Boss, do you have a new mission for me?"

"Yes. I want you to go to Kingpin Tower immediately and pry Kingpin's mouth open. I want to know the whole truth!"

"Understood. I'll move out right away!"
