"Registered in New Wuni?"
One of the reporters scratched his ears when he heard the news and asked the photographer next to him, "Did I hear wrong? Did they say they will be registered in New Wuni?"
The photographer gulped. "Unless we were hallucinating at the same time."
After a moment of silence, a discussion broke out at the venue. House of Jasmine will be registered in New Wuni?
Sitting in a corner, Ollie was dumbfounded before he came to his senses and laughed, "Looks like your arrogance has no limits, Lad. House of Jasmine's share price is about to hit the lower limit, and you're planning to get listed on New Wuni?"
"Mr Parsons, that person must be dreaming. Forget about the current conditions; even when the House of Jasmine was in its prime, they never considered enrolling in New Wuni!" joked the manager sitting beside him. That person used to be in charge of the stock market at the House of Jasmine.
Being listed on the New Wuni and t
"I told you five days ago that I know nothing about this. I'm leaving it to you. But first, let me introduce you to everyone in this place," Bruce said to Alberto."This is Tom Hodge, vice president of the House of Jasmine. He is now the president. You can contact this man if you have any problems. And this is Mr Jennings' daughter, Miss Claudia Jennings."Bruce introduced the two people beside him to Alberto."Hello. My name is Alberto Bert. You can call me Alberto." Alberto shook hands with Tom and Claudia.Alberto turned to greet Tom, "Mr Hodge. Let's talk about our cooperation later.""Sure. No problem." Tom nodded and looked at Alberto with admiration in his eyes.Claudia seemed to be the only one not surprised by the man before her. But every other entrepreneur in the business world must have known or heard the name Alberto.To outsiders, Alberto seems like an ordinary manager. But his status is even higher than the CEO of any b
"20% share shouldn't be a problem, right?" Bruce leaned into Tom and asked.Tom gulped and nodded. How could that man refuse a 20% stake in exchange for investing 5 billion Solace dollars? That amount was more than enough to buy the House of Jasmine.The offer was unimaginable. Subsequently, Alberto continued to answer the reporters' questions. The place was bustling at the moment, but one corner remained deserted. Everyone was looking towards Ollie.Ollie looks grim. Ollie's face looks like someone who accidentally ate faeces."The House of Jasmine has risen from the dead," whispered one of the managers.However, others know this is more than just a resurrection from the dead; the House of Jasmine is better than ever.The investment from Millenia Group and Cerulean Group in Carthage is nothing compared to the Global Group. And House of Jasmine will expand to the international market."What's going on, Ollie? You promised us your plan
"I got word that some of Apol's Slayer Rank have arrived in Carthage. It looks like you are their target."Bruce frowned. "Someone from Apol's Slayer Ranking?""If you mean Silver Flora and Flying Spikes...""No, not them. I don't know who they are, but I'll ask my friend to investigate and send you a message."With a smile, Bruce walked to the window and said, "Did you call me just to tell me this? Aren't you worried about me?"There was silence on the other end of the line."I just wanted to return the favour," Moonlight's voice sounded flat.`"By the way, don't forget the terms you promised me. Where are you now? How did it go?" asked Bruce."If there's nothing else, I'll hang up." Moonlight did not answer Bruce's question."Wait, I have something to ask you.""Continue.""Is there any way to get Apol's Hitman Rank?"Bruce wanted to know because his Special Mission was waiting for him."The
Only then did Bruce remember that more than a month had passed, and the winter holidays were just around the corner."Let's not talk about your constant leaving, but you better get back here now because the final exams are about to start!" Bruce could see how angry Zara was.Bruce said helplessly, "Zara, I might not be able to attend that final exam. There's an emergency.""What? What matter could be more important than this final? Come back here.""Hello, hello, Zara? It seems like your voice is broken. I'll call you next time." Bruce put his phone away and shouted before hanging up."Phew. Zara, I'm sorry. It's not that I don't want to come back, but there are too many urgent matters that I have to handle."Bruce apologised in his heart.BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!Then, Bruce received another call. It was not from Zara but from Donna. What will come must come.Bruce picked up his phone and said nothing. The person on the other
The message was simple. It contained a few names and information."27th place in the Apol Assassin Ranking: Iron Fist King. Skilled in close combat and Tiya Fist. 44th place in Apol's Paid Assassin Ranking: Tripp Mooney. Skilled in close combat and Taekwondo. 37th place in Apol's Paid Assassin Ranking: Scorpion. Skilled in gambling and poisoning. 67th place in Apol's Hitman Ranking: One Armour. Swordsman. Skilled in using a katana. 53rd place on Apol's Hitman Ranking: Eagle. Excels in the One-Handed Eagle Claw Palm."Moonlight wrote a longer description for the last name."13th in the Apol Paid Assassin Ranking, 97th in the World Paid Assassin Ranking: Gunner. Skilled in double rifles, proficient marksmanship. Beware."Bruce gasped when he saw the list."Six assassins. Plus Liam and Flora Silver, that's eight assassins, and one of them is in the World's Paid Assassin Ranking."There was a hint of excitement in Bruce's eyes, and his breathing
Two days later, in a secluded villa on the outskirts of Carthage."Seeing so many smelly men coming in at once is annoying." A woman on the sofa, dressed in transparent pyjamas, spoke languidly in a foreign language, not caring that her body was visible.A group of men was next to the woman, but most were busy with their business, some were fighting, and some were sharpening their knives."The superiors wouldn't be looking for us if it weren't for the fact that you guys are useless and can't complete such an easy task. What an embarrassment to the people of Jetrona." The moustachioed man, who was 160 cm tall and had small eyes said sarcastically."What are you talking about? Don't think we're countrymen; I wouldn't dare touch you!" With a murderous look in the woman's eyes, a silver flower appeared in her hand.This woman is Bruce's old rival, Flora Silver."Okay, take it easy." Sitting next to Flora Silver, Liam Bryant pressed the woman's h
"Understood. I'll be right down," Bruce shouted, using Tripp's voice.From outside the door, there was the sound of Silver Flora coming downstairs. At that moment, Bruce heaved a sigh of relief.During this time, Bruce also wondered if there was a way to deal with these people easily, but these people were too strong and cautious.They stay in their respective rooms at night and do not go out. Moreover, they did not eat the food provided by the villa or anyone else. It is unclear where they get their food from.Previously, Moonlight had confirmed to Bruce through text messages that she should pay more attention to the Shooter. However, after two days of observation, Bruce found that the Shooter was almost the same as an ordinary person. The Shooter woke up at seven in the morning every day, drank tea, read the newspaper, and played with his mobile phone. The person would not touch his gun at all at other times except for one special hour to clean his gun
Bruce observed the scene outside that continued to move backwards. They were ready to head towards the Carthage Highway and would soon enter the city of Carthage."Iron Fist King, you want to go to my village to see beautiful women. But aren't you all meditating for Tiaya Fist training?" Bruce's body slightly moved forwards and looked at the driver.The Iron Fist King smiled and said, "Relax. After all, we, as assassins, lick blood every day at the tip of the knife. When else can we enjoy it if not now?""Then why did you become an assassin? I remember you started five years ago and were ranked 27th in just five years. Amazing!" praised Bruce."There is no other way. There are no opponents in Tiaya. Besides, I'm a gambler and always short of money. Tiaya is a poor country, so I had to become an assassin to make ends meet. You see how easily we can make money, and that's 7.5 million dollars at once," the Iron Fist King said indifferently."What abou
"You said your evidence was stored in a shopping mall in the centre of Carthage?" Bruce looked at the Masked Fox suspiciously.The woman nodded. "Yes. How can I take those things with me? Of course, I'll find a place to hide them."Bruce thought for a moment."Bruce, I think this woman might be lying to you," Derek said cautiously.Bruce looked at the Masked Fox again."Believe it or not, but I value my life very highly," the woman responded with a shrug."Sarah, wait here. You can call the police and have them come. I'll go with him to get the evidence." Bruce made a decision.The Masked Fox smiled and looked at Bruce. "Young man, aren't you afraid I will attack you if you go alone?""Before you attack, my sword will split your veins," Bruce replied coldly.Bruce pushed the Masked Fox out. There were several cars parked on the roadside by the men in black.Bruce casually found a car and threw the Masked Fox in th
Roy continued to crawl on the ground. Roy did not have the courage of Dextor, who could kill everyone, including himself, and all he wanted to do right now was live.SLASH!Roy screamed in pain. There were four Soul Swords embedded in his thigh."Release me. Please let me go. Bruce, we are still family, after all." Roy prayed while crawling.Bruce moved his finger slightly, and four more Soul Swords pierced Roy's back."Family? Now you know that we're family? I haven't forgotten how you, the family, treated us, mother and daughter."A murderous aura and a cold feeling, at this moment, everything appeared in Bruce's mind. Four more Soul Swords were stuck on Roy's back."Ah, Bruce. I am guilty. I know I'm guilty; I'm just a dog from the Waylen family. That, those things are not what I want to do." Roy cried and shouted; he was scared.SLASH! SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!Roy's arm was in pain as four Soul Swords were stabbed into h
"At that time, you already knew that person was a fraud. Why didn't you expose that woman at that time?" Sarah asked in confusion.Bruce shrugged his shoulders. "Of course, I'm not sure if that woman is an imposter, and if she really is an imposter, and I expose her directly, won't you be in danger?"Bruce walked towards Roy."And I really couldn't find any clues at the time. I'm not sure who was trying to hurt Mr Maverick.""So, instead of looking around like a blind cat, I co-operated. After saving Sarah, I created a fake death scene."Bruce took out the Supreme Gold Card from Roy's pocket."Some things that are not yours will never be yours!" Bruce said indifferently."Son of a bitch!" Roy gritted his teeth, and his hand pulled a gun from his waist.Bruce's fingers moved slightly, and a cold light flashed.A hand holding a gun landed on the ground, and blood splattered all over the floor."Ah... my hand." Roy h
In a villa on the city's outskirts, the morning light shines on the villa's roof."This is the first time I've felt so happy waking up in the morning, and with a glass of wine too. What a nice life." A young man in a nightgown holds a glass of red wine in his hand."Don't get too cocky, Lad. Everything is set. From now on, there is no more Mr. Maverick or Bruce in Carthage.""Everything in the underground world of Carthage is yours."Several figures walked out from behind. "But don't forget who gave you all this. Dextor, Mr Shelton."Roy narrowed his eyes and looked at Dextor in front of him. A smile appeared at the corner of Dextor's mouth as he raised the glass before Roy."Of course I understand. Without the Waylen family, I wouldn't have been able to take down my godfather.""It's all thanks to the Waylen family and Mr. Waylen," Dextor said in a flattering tone,"Feel free to let me know if you need anything! I will do anyt
Bruce was surprised to see Sarah with a wicked smile on her face."Cough! Why? You..." Bruce vomited another mouthful of blood and instantly fell to the ground.In disgust, Sarah threw away the bloody dagger in her hand and walked to Roy's side while swaying her hips."Mission accomplished. That dagger I used was poisoned, so she can't show her skills now, no matter how strong they are.""You'll be poisoned to death in half an hour." Sarah smiled wickedly.Bruce looked at Sarah and said angrily, "You're not Sarah! Who the hell are you?""Ranked third in the Apol Slayer Ranking, Masked Fox.""Sarah" licked her lips and grabbed the back of her neck.A crack appeared in Sarah's skin. Then, Sarah's scalp and hair were removed. The real face under the mask was revealed. The person had short hair, a sharp nose, fair skin, and sly eyes."How, how did this happen? Where is Sarah?" Bruce gritted his teeth and roared."You
"This is indeed too coincidental; could it be that someone..." Sarah muttered. Bruce raised his head and looked at the rehabilitation centre behind him."This is not possible. It must have been planned.""Someone got rid of all these people before we could get any information and left us with no leads!" Bruce clenched his fist.Now, all the clues that might have existed were gone. Even if Bruce believed in Mr Maverick, it was useless that he had no evidence to prove that Mr Maverick was not a drug dealer. The court needed evidence!"Then what should we do now?" asked Sarah. Bruce said nothing."Well... we haven't eaten since this morning. How about... let's eat something?" Sarah whispered.Bruce raised his head and walked while pushing his motorbike."Hey, where are you going?""Eat.""Who do you think is behind this? Everything is well planned; the person behind all this is not someone to be underestimated.""And I know Mr Maverick's influence very well. " While eating, Bruce frowned
[Location: at the police station.]"Come on, let's go see Mr Maverick now." Bruce looked at the door of the police station."Come with me."Sarah led Bruce to the police station."Captain Johnson, why are you back?""Sarah, you're home! I heard that something happened to the Sea Queen that you travelled on Yakut during a business trip!""Captain Johnson!" Everyone in the police station was surprised by Sarah's arrival.The two went to the innermost room of the police station where the prisoner was."Why is Mr Maverick still locked up at the police station?" asked Bruce.Bruce says the inmate must be transferred to prison after the first hearing."I heard that because Mr Maverick hasn't explained much, and the police still want to know how many drug dealers there are in Carthage, so he's locked up here for now."As Sarah explained, a gate blocked her way."Captain Johnson." A police officer stood up.<
Bruce couldn't believe the boy had undergone so much change in less than half a month. But Bruce could still recognise Leviathan's voice."Bruce, did you return because of Mr Maverick and the others?" Leviathan walked up to Bruce.Bruce looked around. "Why did you wake up so early? Did you not sleep well?""I woke up when you opened the door, Bruce. I have installed infrared alarm devices on the walls and all the gates of the welfare house. Once someone enters the welfare house, I will be alerted by the tablet."Leviathan took out a small tablet, which showed the display of some software. "Infrared alarm device?""Did Mrs Sanders buy this tablet for you? How did you get an infrared alarm device?" Bruce asked in surprise."I bought the tablet while I installed the infrared alarm device and others in the welfare house. I did it when everyone was asleep at night.""Miley and Mrs Sanders don't know about it.""The whole thing cost
"Look out!" Bruce suddenly pushed Sarah away.BANG!The bullet hit the ground and left a hole."Again?" Sarah fell to the ground. Fortunately, Sarah quickly held her hands to the ground to balance herself. Otherwise, Sarah would have been injured.Saran wondered why people in Carthage could get guns so easily. Sarah had already experienced several gunshots in a day.BANG! BANG!There were two more shots. Despite the silencer, Bruce could still hear the gunshots faintly.Two Soul Swords appeared in Bruce's hands; then he parried the two incoming bullets—the impact produced sparks."There is one right in front, 1 o'clock direction.""One more at seven o'clock."Bruce confirmed the shooter's location through the bullet trajectory. Bruce looked to the side and kicked the wooden door next to him."Go in and hide inside. I'll get rid of them!" Bruce pushed Sarah into the room.BANG! BANG!Ther
