"However, when the darkness covers the land, the Holy Knights will protect the last light, protect the last order of the land, and finally let the light cover the land again.”
"We have failed before, but this time, we will not lose again.
"Tell all the killers and assassins, Sloan, tell them, whether they are killers who have completely abandoned the creed or assassins who are still determined to follow the so-called destiny.”
"The Temple Knights are back."
Before Sloan could react, Li Liang hung up the phone.
...”Li Liang took a deep breath and felt that his face was a little hot." Not bad, not bad. This time, it seems to be alright. You managed to get through the lines with such chuunibyou. Next time, it will definitely be better!”
Li Liang was now seizing every opportunity to break through the lower limit of his embarrassment cancer and prepare for the future.
"It's finally settled…" Li Liang looked left and right. After making sure that no one was left alive, he opened the office door and left the same way.
Li Liang didn't have the company's identification, but with his physical fitness and Ghost Steps, he could completely come and go without a trace in this pharmaceutical company that was not strictly guarded.
How could a Templar Knight, the archenemy of Assassins, not know how to use Stealth? This didn't make sense!
It was normal to have a good grasp of it!
"Speaking of which, the Continental Hotel's high table was actually split from the Assassin Brotherhood? Li Liang pondered,"This is going to be even more interesting."
.....
On the other side, Sloan only came back to his senses after a while. He called again, but the phone was turned off.
"Holy Knights…" Sloan's expression was grave.
As the leader of the Brotherhood, he naturally knew about the existence of the Holy Knights. However, according to the ancient records, the Holy Knights had clearly been completely destroyed by the Assassin Brotherhood many years ago!
Could it be that the Holy Knights had not been exterminated for so many years, but had been struggling at death's door and gradually developed? Only now did they feel that they had the strength to fight, so they came knocking on their door?
The more Sloan thought about it, the heavier his heart became.
However, when he subconsciously reached for his phone and flipped to the phone number that represented the highest leader at the high table, he stopped.
"We can't do this now…There was no conclusive evidence yet. If they went to find him directly, it would be too embarrassing.”
Sloan thought to himself, I should investigate first. I'll contact him after I'm sure what's going on…
Sloan knew that he and the elder sitting at the high table were almost equal in terms of status, but in fact, they were far inferior in terms of strength.
After the Assassin Brotherhood successfully defeated the Temple Knights and took over all their assets, the assassins inevitably had differences due to the benefits of money.
Some of the assassins still held on to their beliefs, but some of them had already begun to secretly accept monetary rewards to obtain more benefits.
This was a very normal thing. There were many people with beliefs in the world, but there were very few people who could firmly adhere to a certain belief or belief under the temptation of life and benefits.
Most of them were just words.
As a result, the assassins gradually split into two groups.
Due to their understanding of each other, the assassins also knew that the Brotherhood could not afford another internal war. Otherwise, it might lead to the situation of the third party benefiting from the battle.
The Brotherhood of Assassins evolved peacefully and split into an organization called the High Table, which meant that they were above everything.
In the years that followed, the Assassin Brotherhood, which had a firm belief, became weaker and weaker.
The High Table, which had completely abandoned their beliefs and turned into a pure assassin organization, developed better and better. Gradually, it became an absolute force that controlled the underground world. Even if they openly opened a continental hotel in an important city, there was no police coming to check!
Killers had become synonymous with fear. Even if they committed murder on the streets, no one dared to stop them!
A real assassin, on the other hand, could only slowly weaken.
Sloan forged the Loom's order for money and status. He knew that if this continued, even if his reputation was still there, his power would only weaken. One day, he would be swallowed by others!
" Now," Sloan shook his head. He had to take things one step at a time. He checked the phone book and found Fox's number." Let me figure out what happened first."
"Ding, ding, ding!"
Fox looked at his phone, a hint of hesitation in his eyes.
She knew that if she picked up the phone, she might not be able to help but ask that question and get the answer she already knew but was unwilling to accept.
The information that Li Liang gave was too detailed and realistic. Fawkes couldn't find any loopholes.
Carlos also took out the cloth with Sloan's password on it. With the evidence from fate, Fox had no choice but to believe it.
Sloan?" Fox answered the call and asked.
Master Assassins were only slightly lower in status than the leader of the Brotherhood, so Fox could call him by his name.
"Fawkes." Sloan frowned. Fox did not know how to act, and he had no intention of acting. Therefore, he could hear the coldness and distance in Fox's tone.
"Was there a problem with last night's operation?”
"Yes."
"What's going on? Why did the person destined by fate escape from your hands?”
"Because someone stopped me."
"Who?"
"I don't know who he is, but he calls himself a Templar Knight.”
"What is it? Fox's words made Sloan's eyes widen.
" It seems that you know, Sloan," Fox asked." Then, can you tell me, what he said, everything he said about the Brotherhood and the Knights Templar, is it true?"”
" We will follow the guidance of fate," Sloan said in a deep voice." There is no right or wrong, only faith will last forever. Back then, the name of the elder of the Knights Templar appeared on the Loom of Fate, so we had no choice!”
" I'm not talking about that matter," Fox said coldly." I'll go back and ask you personally, Sloan. There's no way to investigate the matter of our ancestors. However, if you betray fate, I'll correct your mistake.”
"I will send you to meet your fate!"
After hanging up, Sloan fell into a trance as he listened to the beeping sound from the other end.
Had he been discovered?
The Templar knew what he had done and told Fawkes? So, after
Faced with a leader who had betrayed his fate and an unknown enemy organization from ancient times, what would the assassins in the Brotherhood choose?
Sloan didn't want to gamble, nor did he dare to gamble.
After waking up from his trance, Sloan's eyes sharpened. He stood up and walked towards the secret chamber where the Loom of Fate was.
He wanted to create some favorable conditions for himself for what might happen soon!
" It's just a machine," Sloan muttered. He followed the method in the ancient book he had found before and controlled the Loom of Fate once again. He made it weave according to his own wishes, writing the names he wanted on the special code of the loom!
"Fox, Carlos, Gunsmith, Butcher…" Sloan started to code the names one by one." Finally…" It's me."
"Sloan. Kenway!"
"Congratulations, sir. After confirmation, you have completed your entry assessment mission. You have become an official assassin of the Continental Hotel and enjoy all the services available to you.”
In the Continental Hotel, the receptionist, Charon, said to Li Liang in a refined manner," At the same time, I have to repeat myself, sir. Killing and seeing snow are not allowed inside the Continental Hotel.”
" Okay, I understand." Li Liang nodded and played with the slightly larger secret order in his hand." What's this?"”
"This is your snow contract, sir. Every killer has a snow contract. If someone has your snow contract, you must do whatever he asks you to do.”
"Therefore, please take note that unless it is absolutely necessary, do not use the contract as a price to ask for help from others.”
" A contract that is enforced." Li Liang asked," Why?
"Because this is the rule of the high table.”Charon smiled and said," The high table is above everything else.”
"Then it's fine. Li Liang shrugged and prepared to leave." Thank you for your explanation."
"It's my honor, sir. Also, I've already conveyed the message you asked me to convey last time to Mr. John Wick. Charon said.
"Oh? What did he say?"
"Sir, Mr. Wick's exact words were-I've always had a good memory. Charon said.
"You are wrong. He should have said this with a straight face and no expression, not with a smile.”Li Liang turned into a stick spirit.
Charon…
Li Liang felt refreshed and left the Continental Hotel.
It was indeed very comfortable to occasionally be a bar spirit!
" Sir," Charon picked up his phone and called Winston." Mr. Li has completed his assessment mission and has become an official assassin."”
"Interesting, this is really interesting…Winston looked at the content on his phone. As the manager of the hotel, he naturally had the authority to see all the information and missions under Li Liang's name directly from the backstage.
This person was really too interesting.”
"Sir? "Charon naturally wouldn't understand.
"Independent mission? How long has it been since such a mission appeared? Winston took a sip of wine." This person's ability is real. What Wick said was not an exaggeration.”
" Unique mission…" Charon said," Although there are such missions, they require a higher price to be paid. Furthermore, open missions can achieve their goals, so very few people will post them. Sir, what do you mean?"
" Yes, just now, Li Liang received an independent exclusive mission. Winston looked at the records with interest." The president and chairman of an international pharmaceutical group found Li Liang by providing surveillance videos to Hawkeye and gave him a mission.”
Li Liang did not disguise himself when he tried to stop Fox, so his face was captured by a hidden camera.
