Chapter 40 Stepping Stone
Winston's face was gloomy. This was the first time he had encountered this situation in more than forty years at the Continental Hotel in New York.
However, the other party's provocation is not allowed by him, but the question also arises, will the other party really come?
"Inform Santino and ask him to come here and prepare manpower. The Continental Hotel will not tolerate provocation." After Winston said this, he picked up the phone and then dialed. He called old Antonio.
"Mr. Antonio, your son posted a reward at the Continental Hotel in New York. The other party came to the door and threatened to attack the place tonight. Do you know who the other party is?"
"..." Old Antonio didn't know anything about his son. He was terminally ill and would soon die.
Sloan, whom I had met in Las Vegas before, is the leader of the Assassin's League. This Assassin's League has a long history, with a history of thousands of years. They had no conflicts with each other before.
However, the code of conduct of the Assassin's League changed a few years ago, and there was friction between the two sides. However, the assassins of the Assassin's League were more powerful than the killers of the Continental Hotel, which meant that they had too few people.
The main purpose of the negotiation between the two parties was to prevent the Assassin's League from entering Italy. After all, that was the family's headquarters.
Both sides lost at the gambling table and it was considered a tie.
"I don't know about this matter, so Lin is a professional gambler, but he said this now, it seems not simple." Old Antonio said: "You can go all out, if you need the help of the council, then I can help."
"I don't need help here for the time being, but I want Santino to come over at night." Winston said.
"Okay, since he was the one who provoked it, I will let him go." Old Antonio hung up the phone.
…
Link drove back home and opened his small arsenal, then frowned before closing it again.
He turned around and left home again, drove to the industrial area, found a small processing factory, and asked them to make throwing knives for him.
This time the battle was indoors and did not necessarily require firearms. I gave the boss fifty thousand dollars and asked them to start making flying knives now. Link made them according to the style of Liuye's flying knives.
With its own strength, it is enough to shoot through any bulletproof suit.
He did not plan to use his own weapons. After all, his weapons were all obtained from SHIELD. This matter did not require the support of SHIELD. It was just a New York Continental Hotel.
And he also hopes to have some characteristics. After all, Hawkeye, Black Widow and even Iron Cavalry are all codenames made by himself, and he must also make one.
He called Jessica and asked her to go to Trish's house that night, then hung up the phone without explanation.
Jessica must be worried, but now that this matter is explained, she will be even more worried. Link also understands that he cannot always appear too weak and low-key.
It is good for the casino to ask you to participate in the card game, but if the guests do not follow the rules, the casino also depends on others.
Most people would not be like this, but this Saint Dino was obviously too arrogant.
When Link joined the Continental Hotel, he also thought of this guy, who was a villain in "John Wick".
This guy has no moral bottom line. In order to get a seat at the high table, he hired a killer to kill his own sister, and then offered a reward for the killer's life. He called it revenge for his sister.
On the road of not doing human affairs, he has been drifting away. If he loses the game of cards, he will find a killer?
What he cares about is not money, but his own face. He feels that Link has made him lose face, which is not unusual for him. Moreover, Link easily guessed that it was him, and now Link is given a chance. In SHIELD, he is not a core member for the time being. Nick Fury may intend to train him, but he still lacks a record.
Then use the Continental Hotel in New York as your stepping stone.
…
It wasn't until ten o'clock in the evening that Link stopped the factory and checked. There were hundreds of willow flying knives.
The small factory's processing capabilities were not strong, and they did not have grinding tools. For this reason, they first built the grinding tools and then started working on it. The $50,000 was worth a day's work stoppage, just to serve Link.
Link left with his things. He was wearing a pair of jeans, Martin boots, and a black cotton T-shirt.
He tied a sports fanny pack around his waist, put all the lancets in it, and then drove to the Continental Hotel, arriving an hour early.
He stopped far away, got out of the car and leaned against the car, then took out a cigar and a bottle of bourbon, put the wine on the hood, and carefully handled the cigars.
For an hour, he planned to slowly enjoy a cigar and a bottle of bourbon.
In the hotel, Winston was drinking tea in the terrace garden, and in the entire lobby on the first floor, there were dozens of killers sitting or standing, and there were also killers in various rooms.
Winston did not use the power of the hotel this time, but summoned a large number of killers here. The reward of three hundred thousand dollars was quite large.
And Santino Antonio was also in the terrace garden. He didn't take it seriously at this time. He didn't believe that the arrogant guy could come here. If it weren't for his father's order, he wouldn't come here.
"Winston, you are too careful. Do you really think that person can kill him here?" Saintino asked.
"No, I don't think so, but he was the first guy to provoke the Continental Hotel." Winston said, "So we must take it seriously and make him pay the price to warn those who come after him."
Winston did not tell the truth. He actually believed that there were two possibilities. One was that Link was killed as a warning to others.
Another possibility is that he and Link really fight here, and then he prepares to hand over Saint Dino. As for the future, it needs to be solved by the high table.
He didn't intend to use his own power. There were people from Santino outside, guarding the entrance to the terrace garden.
Link looked at the time, and it was five minutes before midnight. He couldn't be late.
He picked up the wine bottle and drank it down in one breath, then slowly walked over with the cigar. At the same time, he put his hands into his pocket and took out a throwing knife from it.
When he came to the door, he looked at the time and saw that it was just a few seconds before he stepped directly into the door.
The moment he entered, the killers in the lobby looked over. Link bit his cigar and smiled, "Hi..."
"..." Everyone moved and began to draw their guns. They did not put their weapons outside.
"Boohoo..." Link raised his hands, and the flying knife in his hand flew out directly, "Puff, puff..."
