" Don't make a sound, Mr. Anderson." Li Liang whispered in Anderson's ear," Go and close the door of the study." Tell the bodyguards at the door not to disturb them. Also, close the windows and draw the curtains. After that, let's talk about something.”
Anderson calmly stood up and followed Li Liang's instructions. He did not do anything special.
Anderson was very smart. Since this man was able to barge into his villa's study so easily without being discovered, and did not kill him immediately, but said that he wanted to discuss something, then it was best to do as he was told since he was unable to resist.
No matter what, the most important thing was to protect his life. If his life was still there, everything could be discussed. If his life was gone, then everything would be empty.
"Very good. It seems that the first step of friendly communication between us is not a problem.”
Li Liang nodded with satisfaction." It's a pleasure to meet you, Governor Anderson. Do I need to introduce myself?"”
When Anderson turned around, his heart had already turned cold.
The Li Liang that he saw was not wearing a mask or anything else. He was directly showing his face in front of him!
Of course, this was what he saw and thought. In fact, what he didn't know was that Li Liang was wearing an Isenhunt mask.
She couldn't disguise herself too much, could she? "What do you want?" Anderson asked softly," Money? Or something else?"
" No, no, of course not." Li Liang shook his head." If I wanted money, I should have robbed a bank instead of coming to you."”
"So, you want to kill me? Anderson asked,"Are you a killer?"
"It seems like you know about the existence of the assassin profession. But it makes sense. After all, the Continental Hotel is open in New York City. As the governor, it doesn't make sense that you don't know.”
Li Liang nodded." I'm indeed an assassin. An assassin from the Continental Hotel."”
"Is the high table crazy?" Anderson couldn't believe it. They actually dared to break the rules!
" Oh…" Li Liang narrowed his eyes slightly." It seems that you have some dealings with the high table?"”
"You don't know anything. Are you just a simple killer? Anderson was so angry that he wanted to curse." You're here to kill me because you received a bounty, right?”
"Do you know why High Table opened Continental Hotel in New York?”
"A long time ago, they sent a large number of assassins to threaten the US government!”
"Those assassins are indeed everywhere, but we are not to be trifled with. If both sides start a war, our high-level personnel will suffer a lot of losses, and the high platform will be united by all the countries to completely eradicate it at all costs!”
"However, if we really go to that extent, it will be a price that is difficult for any country to accept. Therefore, we have maintained a state of balance with the high table.”
"We allow Gao Tai Table to open 12 Continental hotels around the world and allow their other affiliated organizations to exist, but correspondingly, they must not make a move on important figures belonging to national institutions.”
"And now, you've received a bounty and are here to kill me?”
"Do you know what this means? Do you know what will happen if I die in your hands?”
"I can't say for sure what will happen between the United States and the high table, but believe me, one thing I'm absolutely sure of is that after you get that commission, your days are numbered!”
"At that time, whether it's the United States or the high table, they will all attack you! Your life will no longer belong to you. At that time, whether you live or die will no longer be in your control!”
"So now, young man, have you not realized that you have been used as a chess piece?”
"Leave, leave quickly. I can pretend that this never happened, and I promise that I won't target you. I'll only take revenge on the Continental Hotel after this!”
Anderson perfectly displayed the standard of his inauguration speech, and even exceeded it. Every sentence was reasonable and tear-jerking. However, Li Liang remained unmoved as he looked at Anderson. Anderson was anxious." Why don't you understand? What exactly don't you understand?" Or did he not believe it? Tell me, I'll analyze it for you!"
" No, no, it's not that I don't believe you, Mr. Anderson." Li Liang shook his head and said," I believe every word you say is true. Yes, except for the part where you said you won't take revenge on me afterward. However, that doesn't make much of a difference.”
"... It seems that you are determined to kill me?”Anderson asked.
" Mr. Anderson, perhaps you don't understand what I mean, or perhaps I didn't make myself clear from the start.”
Li Liang leisurely sat on the sofa and put the pistol aside.
"Even an assassin who really accepted the bounty to kill you would give up after hearing what you just said.”
"But, when did I say that I came here to kill you?”
"Didn't I say it from the beginning?" Li Liang said innocently. I came here to discuss some matters with you…
Anderson was speechless.
"Huh?" Anderson was dumbfounded.
"Yes." Li Liang nodded seriously.
"You're not a killer?"
"I'm a killer."
"You're a killer, but you didn't come here to kill me?”
"Yeah, isn't it easy to understand?”
"Easy to understand my ass!"
Anderson was so angry that his brain almost exploded.
So, if an assassin like you didn't come here to kill someone, what else could it be?
"Maybe I forgot to tell you about my other profession.”
Li Liang took out a custom-made cross badge and placed it on the table." Other than my identity as an assassin, I'm actually a Temple Knight.”
"..." Anderson pondered for a moment. Just as Li Liang was surprised that Anderson knew about the Temple Knights, Anderson pretended to have a sudden realization." The knight of the Poor Knights of the Temple of Jesus and Solomon?”
"No!" Li Liang facepalmed. "It's not that…"
"What's that?" Anderson felt much more relaxed now.
Temple Knights, this name sounded very righteous! Moreover, regardless of his name, as long as he was not here to take his life, then there was not much of a problem!
" The Temple Knights are actually the arch-enemies of the Assassins." Li Liang told Anderson about the origins of the Temple Knights and the Assassin Brotherhood, as well as how the Assassin Brotherhood split into the current High Table and the Assassin Brotherhood after winning the war.
"In other words, you are a templar knight, and you hid your identity to become an assassin of the Continental Hotel just to get rid of the High Table and the Assassin Brotherhood?”
After Anderson heard this, he summarized the situation and was immediately interested." How many people do you have? With our help, how confident are you?"”
Anderson had already roughly guessed Li Liang's purpose for coming to the door.
Wasn't it just to seek help and cooperation? If the Holy Knights were really a force that could rival the high platform, then Anderson would vote for this project!
Not only did he vote, but he also brought other states, even the Ministry of National Defense, and even other countries to vote!
As the governor, how could Anderson not know the harm that the High Table organization brought?
However, who would risk their lives? In other words, were there really so many people willing to sacrifice themselves that they could unite in a short period of time and make a decision to attack the Continental Hotel?
Of course, it was impossible. There were people who were not afraid of death, but it was rare for all of them to be afraid of death, let alone in a country like the United States that advocated "freedom".
In fact, it wasn't that no one had proposed to remove the high table, but because there would always be people who disagreed, the proposal couldn't be passed all at once. And no matter how tight the defense was, the person who proposed it would die in an " accident."
Even if he protected one, it was impossible for him to protect everyone at the same time, right? It was not impossible to protect them, but to achieve that level of protection, sufficient resources and time were needed.
The intelligence organization on the high platform could have reacted in such a situation and attacked, carrying out the decapitation operation, or even more threatening actions!
Unless all the members of the Congress could put forward their suggestions at the first possible moment, pass them, and implement them in an instant, without caring about the huge casualties caused by the people at the high table!
In America…Instead of praying for that to happen, it was better to buy a lottery ticket directly because the probability of winning was not as high as winning.
This matter had been delayed just like that. Now, if there really was a force that could rival the high platform table, or even a force that was just slightly weaker, willing to be the main force and become the enemy of the high platform table, the United States would definitely be able to provide some secret help!
This was the best he could do in the early stages. When the Temple Knights displayed enough strength to fight to the death with the high platform, as long as they weren't defeated and successfully made it difficult for the high platform to deal with, then, it would be the time to start the war!
Of course, Anderson would definitely not reveal these things now. After all, he was not sure if everything Li Liang said was true.
Li Liang extended his right hand and showed it to Anderson.
"Fifty percent?" Anderson was overjoyed. Just as he was about to ask Li Liang about the details of the Holy Knight's forces and why he was so confident, he heard Li Liang's answer.
"Five people."
The scene fell into an awkward silence. "Five people?" Anderson widened his eyes, wondering if he had heard wrongly.
"Five people." Li Liang said seriously, enunciating each word.
"Are you here to make fun of me?”Anderson's head was full of question marks.
"Do you think I'm crazy? Li Liang asked. Anderson did not answer, but his gaze had already explained everything.
Not only do I think you're a lunatic, but I also think you're a lunatic with strength. Otherwise, you wouldn't have made it here!
"If I tell you about my other thoughts now, you'll only treat them as nonsense.”
Li Liang did not mind. It would be strange if Anderson believed him now. "Therefore, I have decided to show some battle results that can prove our strength.”
"Do you know where the headquarters of the Assassin Brotherhood is?”
"I know." Anderson replied.
" That's enough," Li Liang said." Then, please pay attention to what's going on there. I'll come to you again soon."”
