John Lane, too lazy to waste words explaining, simply presented his hands and evidence of his ability to fight:
"Gentlemen, I urge you to at least investigate this matter thoroughly before coming to me with this problem! I don't believe that with your power, you really can't find any clues about this matter. Are you trying to force a smear against the Ryan family?"
His eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a hint of cold light:
"If you think of Ryan as a pushover who can only be slandered without daring to fight back, then you are sorely mistaken!"
No one dared to meet John Lane's gaze; they all awkwardly looked away.
"The Hand? Where did this organization come from?"
"The 4.8 Assassin Organization? An assassin organization that has been around for over a thousand years? But why are they coming after us?"
"A building? Just for such an absurd reason, they dared to oppose Ryan and kill two directors of the Ryan Group?"
"Gentlemen!" John Lane said, "I have given you the truth you sought. Whether you believe it or not, it is up to you to verify it yourselves! I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave!"
After finishing his speech, John Lane immediately ended the video conference.
He's busy taking over the shares and influence left by the deceased director of the Ryan Group, so he doesn't have time to argue with these guys!
Two directors of the Ryan Group died, a double stroke of good news, and Hawke was in a great mood.
78 Even if heavy snow closes the mountain pass, I can still take the dry route.
It was already late afternoon when he left the company. He called Kobayashi Miu and Catherine to ask them to meet up so he could have them imitate a college student dance for him to see.
Oh, no, their current status is that of college students!
That would be even better!
Unexpectedly, Miu Kobayashi caused some trouble.
"I can't, Hawke, my period is coming to visit," Miyu Kobayashi said with difficulty. "How about we skip this time and I come to visit you next time?"
Hawke sneered: "Even if the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, I can still take the dry road!"
The three-player game continued until the afternoon of the next day.
When Kobayashi Miu left the Hawke's house, she was limping and being supported by Catherine, her body covered in bruises.
"Tsk tsk tsk, making money is really not easy." Gu Ziyun, who had just finished his vacation, looked at the backs of Catherine and Kobayashi Miu supporting each other.
"Who makes money easily?" Hawke shrugged and said, "Look down at 06, everyone works hard. Do you think construction workers don't work hard? Factory workers don't work hard? Compared to that, celebrities can earn in one night what others can earn in several lifetimes. What's so hard about that!"
“You’re the boss, you’re right about everything,” Gu Ziyun said, pursing her lips.
In a capitalist society like the United States, where money reigns supreme, ordinary people are merely fuel for the times and scraps of society. No matter how hard you strive, you're just making money for capitalists to buy villas, luxury cars, and hook up with young models. So there's no need to live such a stressful life. The most important thing in life is to be happy.
……
He himself got into the car; the most important thing today was Little Chili's birthday dinner tonight.
“Oh, right.” Hawke suddenly remembered something and said to Koo Ja-yoon in the passenger seat, “You know about the Hand, right? They’re so bold as to assassinate Ryan’s director. If we don’t do something, other people might think Ryan is afraid of the Hand! You take Eun-bi and Shin Si-ah and give the Hand a taste of its own medicine, teach them a lesson they won’t forget.”
"Remember, retaliation should be equal, neither too much nor too little."
"Oh." Gu Ziyun found it somewhat amusing.
Clearly, this gentleman felt that the number of directors at the Ryan Group was still too high and needed to be further reduced.
So how can we expect the Hand to stop after killing two directors of the Lane Corporation?
Come on, let's keep hurting each other.
Whoever backs down is a dog!
night.
Koo Ja-yoon, along with Eun-bi and Shin Si-ah, who had just debuted, appeared outside a dojo base in Brooklyn, New York.
"You know the mission details, right?" Gu Ziyun glanced at Eunbi: "Destroy this base and kill its leader, Botu."
"Both tasks are essential!"
"Understood!" Eunfi nodded.
Shen Shiya was a little nervous. Although she had undergone a long period of training and her abilities had been discovered quickly, this was her first mission.
"Remember what Botu looks like!" Gu Ziyun tossed a piece of chewing gum into his mouth, showed the two of them a photo, and said, "When you see him, beat him to a pulp!"
"let's start!"
Three witches stormed into the Bottom Master's gym base.
Botu, one of the five fingers of the Hand, is also the head of the Hand's training academy. He is responsible for finding orphans and homeless people around the world with good aptitude for practicing "ki," taking them on as apprentices, teaching them, and training them to become warriors who serve the Hand.
Originally, Bottom wasn't based in New York, but recently Alexandra found the Dragon Bone and summoned the Five Fingers to New York to discuss the matter, so Bottom hurriedly returned.
Having just returned to the dojo base, he spent a long time soothing the orphans there, and by evening, he thought he could finally adjust to the time difference and get a good night's sleep.
But never thought about it.
Not long after he lay down, a commotion arose outside the base.
"Fuck!"
Bo Tu cursed, "Didn't I say before that no wandering around, making noise, or causing trouble is allowed? Are you ignoring my previous orders?"
He angrily threw on his clothes and walked out of the college, only to suddenly notice that three Asian girls were staring at him.
The BoTu Hui Kunlun martial arts secret technique "Qi" and his swordsmanship are also very powerful, making him one of the extraordinary individuals. However, when he saw the eyes of these three girls, his special sense of danger set off alarm bells in his mind.
Maybe, probably, unsure...
Is it possible that he can't beat one person?
"Target locked."
A smile crept onto Gu Ziyun's lips:
"Up!"
The gambler's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints, and he almost roared:
"and many more!"
At this moment, the gambler was like prey being torn apart by a pack of wolves in the wilderness, utterly powerless to resist.
He didn't even have a chance to escape.
Because all his escape routes have been blocked.
"When the hell did I offend this group of monsters?"
The gambler was almost in tears.
He didn't remember ever offending these people, so why were they suddenly targeting him?
As he spoke, Gu Ziyun rushed up to him.
A punch was thrown.
Bo Tu circulated his "qi" and barely managed to catch the punch. Immediately afterward, he felt as if his body had been violently hit by a heavy truck, and he felt completely unwell.
In an instant, his consciousness became blurred, and when he regained his senses, he found himself embedded in the concrete wall of the base, so deeply that he couldn't be pried out.
Bo Tu felt the pain all over his body, as if his joints were being shattered, and he finally realized one thing—this time, he had kicked a hornet's nest.
"What... exactly do you want?"
Bo Tu barely managed to lift his head.
"What do we want to do? You should be asking yourself that! What exactly does the Hand want to do!?"
Gu Ziyun smiled faintly.
79 It's my honor to be the young master's dog!
"us?"
The gambler was suddenly taken aback. So this wasn't aimed at him, but at the Hand, and the Hand had recently…
He suddenly realized that Alexandra had apparently clashed with the American tycoon Ryan over the dragon bones.
So these people are actually Ryan's men?
"Wait!" Bottom shouted hastily, "Alexandra is just one of the five fingers of the Hand, she doesn't represent the entire Hand! She alone started the war with Ryan, it doesn't mean I'm willing to be your enemy! I'm willing to surrender, and if possible, I'm willing to be Ryan's dog, from now on serving him faithfully, and dismantle the Hand from within."
Before this, the gambler had tacitly approved of Alexandra's confrontation with Ryan, since Ryan was nothing compared to the Dragonbone.
But now Botu finally knows fear. Ryan's biotechnology is too powerful. He has created a bio-engineered human of this level, which is simply beyond his ability to contend with.
If you can't beat them, you can join them.
If I could become Young Master Ryan's dog, I might even be able to use his power to deal with Kunlun in the future.
The number of dragon bones in Kunlun is far greater than the number scattered outside!
Bo Tu's plan was well-conceived, but unfortunately, Koo Ja-yoon didn't give him a chance to continue speaking—the Hand Society had already begun to purge the directors of the Ryan Group. If Hawke were to fold his five fingers back into his own hand at this point, and then claim that he didn't kill the directors of the Ryan Group, who would believe him?
Moreover, why would Hawke risk offending "Kunlun" for something as worthless as the Hand's five fingers?
Therefore, the five fingers of the hand must die.
Hawke will only need to leave behind a few mid-level members of the Hand to integrate and incorporate the remaining forces of the Hand.
"To be the young master's dog is my greatest honor!" Eun-bi, who had been silent until now, suddenly stepped forward: "And you, clearly, are unworthy of such an honor!"
"Young Master Hawke doesn't just take any stupid dog!"
"Bam—!"
Eun-bi threw a punch.
The gambler's head exploded.
……
At this moment, in the CEO's office of the Lane Group, Hawke is discussing the next strategic direction with Andy.
"YouTube is in contact with Amazon, and Amazon seems to be showing some interest. Should we try to snatch them away?" Andy briefly reported the latest developments.
Hawke stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Of course. No matter how much Amazon offers, we'll add 5%. We'll make sure our offer is overwhelmingly competitive."
