Montana zhou, Three Oaks Town.
Duncan put out the cigarette in his hand, threw it in the snowdrift by the roadside, and opened the door and walked into a convenience store.
The enthusiastic convenience store proprietress raised her hand and said hello, "Hi, handsome sir, what do you need?"
Duncan nodded politely but distantly, and walked quickly behind a snack shelf.
"If you can't find anything, you can always ask me!"
After the boss lady shouted loudly, she continued to say to the girl in the knitted hat in front of the cashier, "There are not many residents in Three Oaks Town. Every new person is our friend~"
Camilla wore a gray knitted hat and hugged her shopping bag tightly, nodding awkwardly. "Thank you, thank you~"
"Oh, you are so polite, kid~" The boss lady liked the cute girl very much, so she turned around and took out a box of chewing gum from the counter behind and put it into her shopping bag, "A small gift~ Welcome to Three Oaks Town~"
Camilla pursed her lips, lowered her head slightly, supported the knitted hat on her head, and whispered, "Thank you~"
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared next to her.
"Yeah!" Camilla was so frightened that he quickly took two steps away, but accidentally knocked over the umbrella-shaped shelf with small toys at the entrance of the store.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" She hurriedly bent down to apologize.
The landlady asked quickly with concern, "My child, are you injured?"
"No, no, I'm fine! I will compensate!" After saying that, Camilla quickly put his shopping bag on the checkout counter, squatted down and picked up the small toys scattered on the floor.
Duncan put the shopping bag under the checkout counter, bent down to hold up the umbrella-shaped shelf, and helped her pick up the small toys on the floor.
"I'm sorry..." His apology was almost inaudible.
Camilla's body was stiff. She buried her head and didn't dare to look at Duncan. She just responded, "No, it's okay..."
The two worked together and quickly inserted the small toys back into the umbrella-shaped storage rack.
Camilla took out his wallet and wanted to compensate, but the landlady quickly waved her hand to stop her. "No need to compensate, kid, I've wanted to replace this shelf for a long time, and nothing is damaged, so don't worry~"
Camilla silently took back the money he took out, and said dull thanks, "Thank you..."
The landlady laughed and said, "This is the third time you've said thank you, my child."
Camilla couldn't help but hug the shopping bag tightly, and his face quickly turned red.
She bent down and bowed, turned around and ran out of the convenience store.
Duncan looked at her disappearing back, feeling a little lost.
"He is a good and polite boy, right~" the landlady said with a smile.
Duncan didn't answer. He looked away, picked up his shopping bag and put it on the checkout counter.
The landlady didn't care either. There are people with all kinds of personalities in this world. The middle-aged gentleman with a good temperament in front of him might be a withdrawn person~
She calculated the price neatly and generously paid a small change for Duncan.
Duncan said a rare word after paying, "Thank you~"
The landlady replied with a smile, "You're welcome, welcome to Three Oaks Town~"
Duncan nodded and left.
Duncan drove a gray SUV back to Wooden Cabin next to a secluded lake.
He held the shopping bag and looked at the two-story building across the lake. The girl he met at the convenience store was wielding an ax to chop wood.
Duncan's eyes fluctuated slightly for a moment, then turned and walked into Wooden Cabin.
As soon as he got home, he turned on the TV, randomly selected a channel, and started making dinner.
At this time, the phone rang.
He paused for a moment, but ignored the call and continued making his own dinner.
But the person on the phone seemed to be very stubborn. From the time Duncan started preparing dinner until he finished dinner, the person kept calling.
Duncan After putting away the tableware, he finally picked up his mobile phone.
It was an old-fashioned flip phone. In addition to making calls, it could only send text messages and multimedia messages.
"Vivian?"
Vivian's resentful voice came from the phone. "Fake Squid, Duncan, I called you fifty-three times and sent you eighty-nine text messages!"
Duncan said expressionlessly, "You still have twenty seconds."
"You..." Vivian's voice stalled, not daring to waste any more time. "Duncan, take a look at the email I sent you! This is the last task assigned to you by the company. Listen clearly, it is the last one!"
Duncan's expression did not change at all, he said calmly, "Ten seconds..."
Vivian said angrily, "Duncan, let me remind you! You are just about to retire, but there are still fifty days before your official retirement! According to the contract, you must perform any tasks assigned to you by the company!"
"Someone is deliberately targeting the company now. Mike is the fourth retired agent to be assassinated. Waiting for you..."
Duncan said coldly, "I'll call you later."
After saying that, he hung up the phone, removed the phone battery, took out the phone card, broke it off and threw it into the trash can.
Then he changed to a new phone card, restarted the phone, and dialed Vivian.
"Fake Squid, Duncan!" Vivian yelled immediately after answering the call, "Open that damn computer, read that damn email, and then accept that damn mission!"
Duncan frowned slightly and said in a cold voice, "Vivian? You need to reorganize the language and say it again..."
Vivian took a deep breath and immediately apologized. "I'm sorry, Duncan, Blut, that bastard asked me to convince you to accept the mission today."
"I agree..." Duncan said, "But I have to collect half of the deposit for this order first!"
Vivian was a little surprised. "This is against the rules!"
But Duncan's attitude was very firm. "If you agree to this request, I will take over the task. Otherwise, let Blut find someone else."
Vivian gritted his teeth and replied, "I need to talk to Blut."
Duncan's eyes were calm and calm. "Wait for my call in twenty seconds."
After saying that, he turned off the phone, repeated the previous actions, took out the phone card, broke it and threw it into the trash can, replaced it with a new phone card, and turned it on again.
Twenty seconds later, Duncan called Vivian again.
Vivian immediately said, "Duncan, Blut agreed..."
Duncan interrupted her, "I want two million US dollars for this mission."
"Two million?!" Vivian exclaimed, "Duncan, your order price is one million, which is already the top price in the industry!"
"This time I want two million!" Duncan said, "Blut will agree..."
Vivian was silent for a moment and replied, "He agreed. In half an hour, one million will be credited to your account."
Duncan immediately hung up the phone, repeated the previous action again, took out the phone card, broke it and threw it into the trash can, replaced it with a new phone card, and turned the phone on again.
This time he did not call back, but opened his laptop, clicked on a secret website, and entered his membership account and password.
An unchecked email sits alone in the website mailbox.
Duncan clicked on the email, and a folder appeared on the computer screen.
Opening the folder, a photo of a fat man Mexico with long hair and tattoos came into view...
On the other side, Vivian was sitting on the sofa wearing a full-body black skirt.
"Blut, one million US dollars, must be transferred to Duncan's account in half an hour."
Blut was leaning on the office chair, his two fat short legs crossed on the desk, and he was leisurely grinding his nails with a file in his hand.
"One million~ It is indeed the famous Black Caesar, how dare you open your mouth!"
Hild stood behind him, rubbing his shoulders, and said angrily, "Dear, Duncan is old, he is not worth the price at all now! Send my team!"
Blut filed the file for a while, then he picked up one of Hild's hands, kissed it on the lips, and then said with a strange smile, "Oh, that's not possible! This task is the curtain call performance I specially prepared for 'Black Caesar'..."
"When the old emperor falls, the new emperor can ascend the throne~"
