Winston deliberately wooed Russell before, and made him a direct hitman with only rights but not many obligations, just to use Russell's power to get a seat at the high table.

Although he made a lot of preparations, when he really planned to get a seat at the high table, he realized that getting a seat was more difficult than he thought.

There are only so many seats at the high table, and if he wants to take the seat, someone must give way.

Not to mention that it is not a good thing to occupy a seat at the high table, just the small circle inside the high table is a difficult problem to solve.

There are a total of 12 seats on the high table, which are occupied by the forces of Kemora, the Mafia, the Glory Society, the Chinese, and the Russians.

And these 12 seats are divided into several different small circles because of interests and cooperation.

This also means that if Winston wants to replace one of the members, what he needs to solve is not just one force, but an alliance of several forces.

In the underworld of New York, Winston is one of the local snakes.

But if it is placed in the world, Winston will have little reputation.

What's more, his power will also drop sharply after he leaves the boundary of New York.

"Are you interested in my previous plan now?"

Winston asked in disbelief.

"No, I'm still not interested in your previous plans, I'm only interested in the high table now."

Russell corrected Winston.

Winston had talked to him before about getting a seat at the high table, not long after he joined the Continental Hotel.

But at that time, he was far from his current strength, and he didn't have too many messy thoughts.

His idea at that time was very simple, to be a well-known killer, to earn enough money for himself and Diana to spend, and to live a good life for the two of them.

"You're helping me get a seat at the high table?"

Winston continued to ask.

"That's right!"

Russell replied calmly.

After he finished speaking, he gestured towards Perkins and asked Perkins to bring the whisky from the wine cabinet next to him.

"Why are you helping me?"

While Russell's help was a good thing, Winston knew Russell well.

To put it simply, Russell is an unprofitable guy.

He didn't believe that Russell would help him get a seat at the high table for no reason. He must have other plans.

"You don't have to look at me like this. It's not free to help you, but you don't need to worry that I will sell you."

"What kind of power I have now, you should be very clear, you don't have to worry that I will use you as a pawn."

Although Winston didn't say it, Russell could see what he was worried about.

Don't you just worry about being used as a pawn?

If it was before, Russell might have been a little interested in the high table.

After all, the continental hotels with high table controllers all over the world are undoubtedly one of the behemoths in the underground world.

But now, in front of him who already has the physique of Krypton, even if the strength of the high table is increased ten times, it is only the same thing.

"What am I going to pay?"

Although he didn't know what Russell was thinking about, Winston was still tempted.

nonsense!

The long-awaited seat at the high table is now in front of him, how could he not be tempted.

If he didn't want to, he would retire early, how could he have been the manager of the New York Continental Hotel.

"I haven't thought about it for a while, but I'll tell you later."

"But you can rest assured that I won't let you do what you can't do."

Russell said slowly.

Then, he picked up the whiskey that Perkins had just poured and took a sip.

Winston didn't answer right away, frowned for more than ten seconds, and then said slowly: "Okay! As long as you can help me get a seat at the high table, I can help you do something within my ability."

Winston eventually agreed to Russell.

"Trust me, you will never regret your decision today."

"Okay, it's getting late, I won't bother you anymore."

After finishing speaking, Russell drank the whisky in the glass and left the office with Perkins.

When taking the elevator to the lobby on the first floor, Perkins looked at Russell suspiciously and asked slowly, "Are you really going to help Winston get a seat at the high table?"

"Yes, what's the problem?"

Russell asked back.

"Didn't you come to avenge me tonight?" Perkins continued to ask.

"Vengeance? What kind of revenge? Didn't you kill the person who attacked you?"

"As for the high table that issued the order, even if I want to avenge you, they have to be here."

Russell said with a smile.

Although Russell looks the same now as before, Perkins finds that he can't see Russell more and more.

She couldn't guess what Russell was thinking now.

Russell was not surprised that Perkins would feel that way.

In fact, helping Winston to get a seat at the high table was an impromptu decision he made after meeting Callum.

He had planned to have some fun at the Continental Hotel, but after seeing Callum, he immediately changed his mind.

How can the Continental Hotel compare to the Brotherhood of Assassins and the Knights Templar when it comes to having fun.

If nothing else, the Pieces of Eden alone are worth his energy.

When they came to the hall, the body of the big man had been taken away.

The direct hitmen who had gathered in the hall also disappeared, and they didn't know where they went.

"You drive back to Zhenglian headquarters by yourself."

After leaving the hotel, Russell said to Perkins.

After he finished speaking, he flew towards the apartment without any hesitation.

Looking at Russell who quickly disappeared into the night sky, Perkins went straight back to the car, quickly started the car and drove towards the headquarters of Zhenglian.

When Russell left, she realized that she was now somewhat dependent on Russell's protection.

In less than a minute, Russell was back at the apartment.

As soon as he landed on the balcony~lightnovelpub.net~ he saw Diana lying on the sofa in the living room reading a book.

After entering the living room, he sat down beside Diana and said to Diana, "I met a very interesting person today."

He briefly talked about Callum and the Assassin Brotherhood.

Of course, he also talked about his own guesses, such as why the Assassin Brotherhood suddenly found a high table to cooperate.

"Shards of Eden golden apples, are you sure these things really exist?"

Diana didn't quite believe Russell's words.

Because Callum and the Brotherhood of Assassins aren't characters from Marvel and DC, Russell doesn't need to hide too much and say everything he knows.

As for the source of intelligence, of course, those Assassin's Creed games he played before crossing.

"I think there is a high probability that it will exist, and I sense some ancient aura in Callum."

Russell said with a serious look.
