"You are very courageous, you are worthy of being a student taught by Cross."

Sloan narrowed his gaze, and didn't seem to be annoyed by David's blackmail.

After pondering for a moment, he took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, and after a few instructions, he looked back at David.

"5000 million, it will be credited immediately."

Ding!

In less than a minute, David received a text message alert.

The balance of the Swiss bank salary account linked to the fraternity has a huge sum of 5000 million knives.

"The deal is done, and it's time for you to honor your promises," Sloan said.

"of course."

David received the money and was in a good mood: "Clos' safe house is right under your nose."

"What do you mean?" Sloan asked, frowning.

"Have you ever thought about why Cross was able to discover your movements the first time you approached Wesley, and a shootout broke out with Fox at the scene?" David asked back.

Sloan didn't wonder how David knew this.

As an underground person, always have your own sources.

"This shows that Cross has been paying attention to his only son." He fell into deep thought, faintly aware of it.

"good."

David smiled and said, "You've said everything so clearly, can't you guess the location of Cross's safe house?"

"what?"

Sloan was stunned for a moment, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally converged into a line. He suddenly laughed: "The answer is so simple."

"Yes, the answer is that simple."

David received the money, and at this time he was still in the fraternity lair, but he was still calm and composed, stating the facts: "You were frightened by Cross, and you were confined to the circle, but I was not."

"The 5000 million spent is well worth it."

After finally getting the clue of Cross' trace, Sloan was refreshed, slightly agitated, and was no longer as calm as before.

"In that case, I won't send you off."

He glanced at David and issued an order to drive away: "From now on, I don't want to see you at the fraternity."

"Don't worry, we'll never see each other again."

David waved his hand and turned to leave.

boom!

The door of the office was closed, blocking Sloan's seemingly calm but actually cold eyes.

"What a smiling tiger."

David recalled the conversation with Sloan just now, with a sneer of disdain, knowing the threat in Sloan's words.

From beginning to end, Sloan never wanted to let himself go.

From Sloan's point of view, the 5000 million is only temporarily stored in his hands, and he has various means to get the money back.

This is why Sloan gave the money so happily.

After all, 5000 million is not a small sum for Sloan.

In the memory of being a member of the fraternity instilled in the system, David joined the fraternity for five years and only saved 100 million dollars, which is not a low income level among fraternity members.Although it is far inferior to Cross, it is barely on par with Fox and others.

Putting this income on ordinary people is suitable for the elite class, but it is really shabby if it is placed in the circle of killers gathered by capable people, especially the top killer circle.

Even if it is his mentor, the strongest killer of the fraternity, the "cross" that can be ranked in the world - Cross, the accumulated balance of bank cards over the years is only about three million .

It is conceivable that the overall income of fraternity members is lower than that of their peers.

This is not controlled by Sloan, but the Brotherhood, a killer organization that has been passed down for many years, can't even talk about making money.

At the core of the operation of the fraternity is faith.

talk about faith,

You can't talk about money.

Sloan was rich because he had no faith.

Sloan turned his back on his faith and forged the "Destiny" assassination list for his own benefit, which is the reason why he has accumulated huge wealth over the years.

The cloth with Sloan's name woven on the loom of fate is the key factor for Sloan's betrayal of his faith... Tracing back to the source, whether there is cloth first and then Sloan's betrayal, or Sloan's first betrayal and then cloth, has long been unclear. important.

Importantly, this was Cross's reason for defecting from the Brotherhood, and it was also the biggest secret he had about Sloan that he didn't want others to know.

……

Leave the office and go down the circular staircase.

David was surprised to find that Fox was still leaning on the ladder railing and waiting for him.

"Is something wrong?"

David raised an eyebrow.

"Give you a piece of advice, get out of New York."

Fox seemed to be thinking about it, and said lightly: "Sloan will not let you go."

"So, are you willing to let me go?"

David looked at the outstanding beauty in front of him, circling her seductive body curves with admiring eyes, and said casually, "This is really a surprising piece of advice."

"Damn Cross."

Fox was obviously dissatisfied with Sloan's decision, but as a member of the fraternity, she must obey the leader's order unconditionally: "In this chaos caused by Cross, many colleagues died, but there are always innocent people."

The cold moonlight shone into the room through the arched windows in the upper part of the wall, and the bright light fell on Fox.

With long golden wavy hair, a tall nose bridge, sculptural cheeks, and white skin that is as white as snow, Fox is like an elf who has stepped out of a fantasy world.

"I don't want to hurt the innocent, but I can't go against Sloan's orders and the instructions of fate." Fox said, "So, escape as much as possible, and leave New York, as far away as possible."

"I suddenly like you a little bit, Fox."

David laughed: "I can't leave... I blackmailed Sloan for 5000 million, and he will send someone to kill me soon."

As he said that, he extended a warm invitation to Fox: "If possible, I hope that the person who comes to kill me is you."

"What did you say?"

Fox was stunned, and didn't pay attention to the second half of David's words. His face was stiff, and he repeated the key words in her mind: "You blackmailed Sloan for 5000 million?"

"good."

After finishing speaking, David passed by Fox again: "If you want to know the truth, I will tell you when you come to kill me."

This time, the strong smell of engine oil on Fox's body became much better in David's perception.

Fox squinted his eyes and watched David disappear into the night.

This expression made her bright and moving face no longer bright, and looked a little gloomy.

"5000?"

A thought flashed through her mind: "Sloan... where did he get 5000 million?"

As a senior member of the fraternity, she is very familiar with the operation of the organization.

How could Sloan be blackmailed by David for 5000 million when the entire fraternity couldn't come up with 5000 million?

She didn't think David was lying.

If it was a lie, then the lie was too clumsy, and David would not be so out of his head.

Drop drop!

Suddenly, the textile factory rang the assembly bell.

Fox was awakened by the sound, came back to his senses, and looked at the office on the second floor.

Da Da Da Da!

Soon, the repairman, butcher, gunsmith and others on the first floor and basement, together with Wesley who had trained with them, appeared in front of her at the same time.

"Fox, let's go, Sloan issued a summons."

"Do you know why he did it?"

"David came in just now, and he talked to Sloan for a while, I think maybe because of the purpose of their conversation."

"You mean... Cross?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Did Sloan find Cross?"

Wesley was still undergoing special training just now, and was dripping with sweat. When he heard this, he was instantly excited, and his eyes shone brightly.

"I can finally take revenge?!"

……

Office on the second floor.

The room was very quiet, you could hear a pin drop.

The atmosphere was sombre, the flow of time seemed to slow down, and everyone's heartbeats went up to [-].

On the desk in front of the wall-mounted bookshelf, Sloan sat on a chair and remained calm, his eyes swept over the few people he had summoned in front of him.

These are the senior members of the Brotherhood and his confidantes.

As for the people who are closer to Cross, they have all left now... some have left temporarily, some have left forever, there is almost no difference between the two.

Tick ​​tock!

The pointer on the wall turns little by little, representing the slow passage of time.

"Everyone, you should have guessed it."

Sloan opened his mouth to break the silence: "I have received information and basically locked the location of the Cross safe house... But, it is not the time to make a move yet, we are not ready yet."

"No, I'm ready."

Wesley was the latest member of the fraternity present, and also the most special member among them. He lacked a deep understanding of Sloan's power within the fraternity. He only knew that the fraternity was in the hands of Sloan. Convince Sloan to do it as soon as possible.

"I am the main force of this mission."

He said without hesitation: "I have completed the mission assigned by the brotherhood, and I have the ability to carry out the mission, Sloan, you have to trust me."

"Of course I believe you."

Sloan's eyes were gentle, and his eyes fixed on Wesley.

This look, just like the experience in the fraternity these days, made Wesley feel the warmth of family.

Sloan's words sounded in Wesley's ears: "You inherited your father's bloodline as the strongest killer, so you should be able to do all this..."

"Then why not now?"

Wesley was rather dissatisfied, thinking that Sloan's statement was an expression of his distrust of his own abilities, and his expression was impatient and uneasy: "What if we don't take action now and let him run away?"

"Cross won't run...he won't back down until he kills us all."

Fox spoke suddenly, with a very affirmative tone, as if he was solving a math problem with only one solution.

Beside him, the gunsmith, repairman, butcher and others did not speak. Judging from the expressions of everyone, they agreed with Fox's point of view very much.

Wesley looked around and saw that everyone had such an idea. Although he was puzzled, he did not pursue it out of trust, but asked his inner doubts: "When will you be ready?"

"Come on, our opportunity is almost here."

As Sloan said, he turned and looked at the neon lights outside the window, his eyes were deep, as if he could see through the deep darkness under the night:

"The next time Cross attacks us, it's our turn to fight back."

"Next attack?"

Wesley reacted, but didn't react.

Fox and the others immediately understood what Sloan meant—after Cross succeeded in attacking the fraternity members next time, when he returned to the safe house satisfied and exhausted physically and mentally, there would be a full-scale counterattack by the fraternity members.

"Sloan, what should we do about David?"

She hesitated for a moment, thinking of David who had left the textile factory just now, she couldn't help asking: "He has already shown us his favor, should we still deal with him?"

"Fate has made its verdict."

Sloan took out a document from the drawer of his desk, on which was bound a piece of cloth, densely written with binary translation codes, summarizing it into one name——David Fisk.

"The top priority is Cross... After Cross dies, we have enough time to kill David."

Sloan's tone is unquestionable: "However, we need to lock down David's location and not let him escape. Fox, take some time to pay attention to David's tracks."

"clear."

Fox nodded.

No one noticed that Fox stared at the document in Sloan's hand, frowned slightly, and there was a hint of hesitation in his emerald green eyes. He recalled that before David left, he said that he had blackmailed Sloan for 5000 million.

"David really told Sloan where Cross is. He didn't lie to me... So, it's true that he blackmailed Sloan for 5000 million..."

She frowned, without any trace, showing suspicion: "Where did Sloan get 5000 million?"
