At the Continental Hotel, the assassins all had their own channels, and it didn't take long for them to know what happened last night. They all had a very clear understanding of their own strengths. For a target like Dave Boyle, at least six assassins would need to work closely together to complete the hunt.
It seems that this newcomer is the next bullseye.
The Continental Hotel had a conflict with Kingpin several years ago, and seven assassins died at the hands of Bullseye alone.
Winston was sitting on a recliner in the lobby. His power was not comparable to that of an ordinary killer. After Broly walked out of the Irish community, he knew the general situation of the matter and even got the card that Broly used to kill people from the scene.
At this moment, he was playing with the crudely made card in his hand. Suddenly, he threw it hard. The card flew more than ten meters and fell to the ground weakly.
"Charon, what kind of monster can kill fifty-four fully armed gunmen with these ordinary cards?"
Seventy-six people died in Dave Boyle's mansion last night. Except for sixteen servants, all the others died. Twenty-one of them died because their necks were broken by heavy force, and fifty-four died because their trachea and arteries were cut by cards. The remaining one was Dave Boyle, whose head was twisted off.
"How terrible, Charon... Do you know what the number fifty-four represents?"
Winston spoke in a voice almost whispering, looking at the card which was obviously cut from the seven of spades.
"There are exactly fifty-four cards in a deck. That man bought a random deck of cards and cut them into a dove pattern. Not a single card was wasted, but he knew there were seventy enemies. If you were going to a battle and there were more than thirty enemies, would you only bring seven bullets? A normal person would never do this unless he had no other choice. It can be seen that these cards are just a small trick of his."
Charon picked up the card and looked at it carefully. The maker of this card was obviously very perfunctory. The pigeon was cut into a strange shape, the wings on both sides were not symmetrical at all, and there was even a piece missing from the head. It was hard to imagine that someone could shoot an enemy more than 60 meters away with such a crude prop.
"What does the dove symbolize?"
Winston took up the glass and drank from it, then paused for a moment.
"Maybe it's some kind of totem, but there are very few schools or organizations that use pigeons as totems and symbols. The earliest pigeon totems appeared in Mesopotamia. He is likely to belong to the school passed down by the Assassins. This may be a breakthrough for us to find out his identity."
Charon nodded. Winston had been in this business for more than fifty years, and had been running the Continental Hotel for forty of those years alone. The experience and knowledge he had accumulated was an invaluable asset.
At this moment, the door of the Continental Hotel was suddenly pushed open, and a figure walked in. The entire lobby suddenly became quiet, and everyone was quietly looking at the person who came in.
Broly was holding a cloth bag, not affected by those gazes at all. Not long after, the hall became noisy again. However, everyone was a little absent-minded, and their wandering eyes fell on the cloth bag in his hand.
"Welcome to the Continental, Mr. Wayne."
Charon put the card away without leaving a trace and walked behind the counter, while Winston left the lobby quietly.
Broly threw the bag onto the front desk, and Dave Boyle's head rolled out, with Dave's expression of fear and disbelief still on it.
"Dave Boyle is dead. How can I get my money?"
There was another noise in the lobby. Dave Boyle was actually dead.
Charon's face twitched, and he took out a pair of gloves from under the counter and put them on. He carefully put his head back into the cloth bag, took out the detergent, and carefully cleaned and wiped the counter.
"Mr. Wayne, Mr. Kingpin has already transferred the full amount to our account. You can withdraw the money here at any time. In addition, we have channels to confirm whether the hunt is successful, and... there is no need to use such crude means to confirm it."
Broly slammed the table in dissatisfaction.
"You should have told me this earlier. It's only been three hours since it started to stink. I don't know how to explain it to the waiter."
A drop of cold sweat ran down Charon's forehead. Broly's dissatisfaction put him under tremendous pressure, but he never said that he needed to use the target's head as evidence of a successful hunt.
"Forget it, I'll give it to you. You can hang it on the wall as a decoration after processing it." Broly said, "Also, I'm going to take out the bounty now."
There are still a few farms in Lajitas that have not been acquired due to lack of funds. With this money, they can take over those pieces of land and connect all the land into one piece. Broly is also going to pay for a batch of beef cattle to graze on the farm's pasture.
With Broly and Kakarot's appetite, they would eat two adult beef cattle almost every day. If they didn't buy more, the cattle on the farm would soon be eaten up.
Charon wiped a cold sweat. Although they were an organization serving killers, they were not so perverted as to use human heads as decorations.
"If you want to hang this kind of decoration on the wall of the hotel, you need Mr. Winston's consent. I think he will most likely not agree. As for the bounty, I can pay it to you now, Mr. Wayne."
As he spoke, he picked up the landline and made a call. Not long after, a waiter came over with a huge suitcase and handed it to Broly.
"You can count them, Mr. Wayne. If you need money laundering services, the Continental Hotel only charges two gold coins and a 10% commission, which can turn all bounties into legal income. In addition, the hotel provides a gold coin exchange service, with 10,000 US dollars for one gold coin. You can use the gold coins to obtain any service of the Continental Hotel, including safe accommodation, weapons, armor, medical care, and information about the target. Everything can be exchanged for gold coins."
Most money laundering agencies charge a commission of around 30%, which is indeed a very affordable price. But letting the Continental Hotel launder money for you is equivalent to handing over all your identity information to them, so Broly did not choose the Continental Hotel's money laundering service.
The identity Alejandro forged for him in Bolivia was very reliable, and funds below 10 million would not attract the attention of the FBI and the IRS at all.
"By the way, I killed the lady who came to talk to me last night. Does that count as a violation of the rules of the Continental Hotel?"
Broly took a candy from the counter, peeled it and put it in his mouth, chewing it while asking.
Charon's heart skipped a beat. He felt that Broly seemed to very much hope that the Continental Hotel would take action against him.
"Of course not, Mr. Wayne. As long as it is not within the hotel, the killings between killers have nothing to do with the Continental Hotel..."
Broly sighed in disappointment and turned away.
