Although S.H.I.E.L.D. has some prejudice against superpowers, it is not the style of S.H.I.E.L.D. to set fire to houses.

Relatively speaking, this is more like what Hydra would do.

Of course, this is just Russell's guess now.

He is not 100% sure whether it was the Hydra or not.

After entering the hotel lobby, he went straight to Charon at the front desk, took out a gold coin, and placed it in front of Charon.

"I want to know who actually set fire to my office?"

Russell said directly.

As the direct hitman of the Continental Hotel, Charon is very clear about his identity on the bright side.

Not only does Charon know, but those who know him a little know that he runs a detective agency called Octopus Monster, such as Perkins and other colleagues.

"Okay, Mr. Bradley!"

Charon, who was dressed in a gentle manner and looked like a butler at first glance, took the gold coins and said quickly.

Russell nodded, turned and sat down in the lounge area in the lobby, waiting patiently.

As a killer service hotel under the High Table, the Continental Hotel, of course, includes intelligence gathering.

Of course, special intelligence needs to be purchased from a specialized intelligence dealer.

But just to find out who burned down his office, the hotel's own intelligence network can figure out such trivial matters.

Less than ten minutes after Russell sat down, Charon, in a neat suit, came over with a piece of paper with his name on it.

"Sir, this is the information you want."

Charon handed Russell the paper in his hand.

Russell took the paper and glanced at it, frowning.

Not SHIELD!

Not Hydra!

But two code names that he is not unfamiliar with.

The Cross, and the Punisher!

"What exactly is going on?"

Russell asked Charon.

"They met by chance in the office. After a fierce battle, the two sides left, and your office burned down."

Charon quickly explained.

Fight in my office and then set my office on fire?

Who has provoked whom in my office? Is this right for it?

Russell suppressed his dissatisfaction, took out four gold coins from his pocket and handed them to Charon.

"I want to know the whereabouts of the two of them?"

Looking at the four gold coins handed over by Russell, Charon did not take them immediately, he paused for a few seconds and took two of them.

"Two is enough. The other person you are looking for, sir, is here."

After taking the two gold coins, Charon pointed to the door of the hotel.

Looking in the direction of Charon's finger, Russell saw a cross that was somewhat out of tune with the hotel style.

Cross!

The ace killer of the Brotherhood!

A middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance.

The moment he saw the cross, the system that usually didn't have much presence suddenly popped up a message that only he could see.

"Reward: Destiny Assassin; Status: Inactive; Activation Condition: Completion of the Cross Commission; Activation Effect: After activation, master spear throwing and gain the ability to control adrenaline autonomously."

Forehead…

There was another reward that enabled activation conditions in the system, and it was a reward that he had not seen before.

If it was before, Russell should be very happy.

But now, he is not happy.

This reward is called "Assassin of Destiny", and the activation condition is to complete the commission of the cross.

Although the system didn't say it clearly, as long as you think of the fact that the cross just defected from the Brotherhood, it's not hard to guess what his commission will be.

Seeing that Russell was sitting in the hotel lobby, the cross quickly walked up and sat down opposite him.

"Sorry, I set your office on fire, and I will compensate you for all your losses."

After sitting down, the cross spoke first.

"No, you can't compensate!"

Russell's office is rented, and the office furniture in it is also bought casually from IKEA, which is not worth much.

The only things that are valuable are the more than 100,000 cash that he kept in the safe and the more than 20 gold coins issued by the high table.

But what he has lost now is not these things on the surface, but his reputation.

In the killer world, there are not many people who know his real name, and there are also many people who know that he opened a detective agency.

But to this day, he is still alive and well.

There is an important reason for this.

That is, he has established a very domineering image outside.

Don't mess with travelers!

People will die!

And not only will he die, but even his family, friends, neighbors, and even the neighbor's dog will be sent to see God.

For this, he was also strongly condemned by a dog-loving colleague.

Speaking of this dog-loving colleague, Russell oddly misses him.

From this dog-loving colleague, he learned a lot of practical shooting and fighting skills.

Let's say kill three people with one pencil...

But unfortunately, this dog-loving colleague retired and got married last year, which caused him to lose a good student (stealing teacher).

The mainstream American society has a natural exclusion, or discrimination, against the Chinese.

This is especially true in the underground world that advocates the laws of blood and violence.

When he first crossed into this world, Russell experienced many unpleasant things.

When he first entered the industry, he could get a little less reward than others for the same task.

After experiencing this kind of unfair treatment and invisible discrimination two or three times, he woke up!

Fuck being nice to people!

Fuck being polite!

Lao Tzu is a killer who sacrifices his life for money. Whoever dares to deduct Lao Tzu's life-saving money, Lao Tzu will kill him!

When he showed his fangs and showed the style of killing him if he didn't agree, the whole world instantly changed for the better.

Those who have suffered unfair treatment and discrimination because of skin color problems have disappeared!

Of course, when he showed his edge, there were still some people who didn't believe in evil, thinking that he was just bluffing, trying to use force to tell him who said it in this country.

But when he packed up these people and took away their family and friends, not many people doubted this.

Traveler is the killer code name he gave himself.

But among other peers, his killer code name has a few small prefixes.

For example, crazy travelers, tyrannical travelers, bloodthirsty travelers...

The cross may compensate for the loss of his property, but it cannot compensate for the loss of his reputation.

When this matter spreads out, and the cross is still alive and kicking, it won't be long before he can say goodbye to his current peaceful life.

"I can compensate you for your losses, all!"

The cross was very clear about what losses Russell suffered, but he still gave a firm answer.

"As for the compensation, I'll settle it with you later. Tell me, what exactly do you have to do with me?"
