Ultimate Firepower

Chapter 55

The dark web is very deep, much deeper than Gao Yi had imagined.

Judging from what Gao Yi has seen and heard, those who can accept tasks on the dark web are not good people, but those who can post tasks on the dark web are obviously more powerful.

Money is not omnipotent, but money definitely transcends the concept of omnipotence.

No amount of money can buy eternal life, but if money is combined with the dark web, then money can buy death.

You can buy someone else's death.

So the question is, what exactly are the products on the dark web?
Just looking at the killer section of the dark web, on the client's side, the service that the killer can provide is a commodity.

For a killer, the target provided by the client is the commodity.

For the dark web, both the clients who pay the money and the killers who work hard are commodities.

A transaction secured by the dark web actually involves four main parties, namely the dark web, the client, the killer, and the most important yet least important target.

From the perspective of mutual generation, the existence of these three parties, the client, the killer, and the target, jointly gave birth to the dark web.

From the perspective of mutual restraint, the killer restrains the target, the target restrains the client, the client restrains the dark web, and the dark web restrains the killer.

But the client's attack on the dark web is only a theoretical threat.

The biggest threat to the dark web is that the client's task is not completed in time on this platform. That's all. The greatest restraint the client can have on the dark web is to change the platform to send the task.

If there are several dark webs competing, then it would be a threat for the client to change platforms, but if there is only one dominant dark web left, then it would make no sense for the client to change platforms.

In conclusion, the target is the most important basic nutrient in this ecological chain, and the dark web is the top predator in this ecological chain that benefits the most and is almost not threatened.

Only by understanding the underlying logic of the existence and operation of the dark web can we understand why Huayuan is so anxious to complete the dark web mission.

As a merchant on the dark web, Huayuan will be closed down if it doesn't sell anything.

As for Gao Yi, once he figured this out, he knew that he could take absolute initiative in the task he had to do in the garden.

Many killers may not understand what role they play in the dark web until they die, and they may not even think about these questions.

But for Gao Yi, at least he can use his brain to think about what role he plays in this underground ecosystem, and figure out his position and function. Then, when he chooses a target, at least he will not choose a target that will cost him nothing even if he completes the task and gets the money.

For example, Gao Yi would never consider those powerful figures.

So Gao Yi gave Sean the right to propose target selection.

Sean was testing Gao Yi, and Gao Yi also wanted to test Sean.

If Sean chose an inappropriate target for him, the friendship they had established would end there. Gao Yi would thank Sean for everything he had done for him, and in return, he could give Sean a way out.

If Sean chose a suitable mission, even if it met the difficulty of an A-level mission, but after the mission was completed it would not lead to endless investigation and pursuit for Gao Yi, then Gao Yi would also think that Sean really wanted to cooperate with him for a long time, rather than treating him as a consumable.

So, Gao Yi looks like a newcomer who likes to rush forward, and in fact he is indeed a newcomer who likes to rush forward, but he is not stupid, but very smart.

Gao Yi was a little nervous. The reason for his nervousness was that once Sean chose a consumables task for him, should he turn hostile immediately or should he endure it first?
Think about it, if Sean really recommended a consumables task, it means that he wants to trick me. In this case, why should I feel any psychological burden in killing him immediately?

Gao Yi, who had a little difficulty in making decisions, stopped worrying about it after he figured it out. He looked at Sean quietly, with an impatient and indifferent expression, waiting for Sean to make a choice.

"There are a lot of A-level tasks, but not many that can be done."

Of course Sean had thought about taking that mission, he had basically already selected it, and now Gao Yi asked him to choose, he immediately clicked on a mission and said, "Take a look at this."

A-level public mission, reward of 20 million US dollars, target is Diso El Mondrian.

There is no limit to the manner of death, as long as the person is dead.

The fewer the requirements, the harder it is to do, because the client doesn't care whether the target is exposed or killed, which means the target must be very difficult to kill. The fewer the introduction, the more famous the target is. For example, the target in this mission has no introduction at all, which means everyone should know the target, and there is no possibility of making a mistake in the name. At least he is a world-class celebrity.

In general, the fewer words, the more difficult the task.

After casually glancing at the details of the mission, Gao Yi said with a puzzled look on his face: "No introduction, who is this person?"

Sean obviously knew the target's information by heart.

"Dissot, don't you know him? He's a celebrity, a French celebrity, a legend. If you hang out in Europe often, you must have heard of his name."

After a brief pause, Sean continued, "Dissot is a wealthy businessman. He was born in the 93rd arrondissement in the northern suburbs of Paris, which is the poorest, most dangerous, and most chaotic area in France. But Dissot became a billionaire and one of the top ten richest people in France. In particular, he entered politics and served as a member of parliament. His highest position was Minister of Urban Housing and Transport of France."

Gao Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, you are an official?"

Sean smiled and said, "Don't worry, he has been retired for nearly ten years. If he were an official in office, I wouldn't be able to select him as a target."

"It's okay, you just scared me." Gao Yi touched his chin and said, "But I have principles. I won't kill good people."

If being a killer is just a profession, why kill good people?
There are countless scumbags to kill in the underground world, so why should you go against your conscience? Killing good people will bring you psychological burden. Killing a bad guy who has committed heinous crimes is doing justice for the heavens, and it can also make you happy and satisfied. So, why does Gao Yi want to kill good people?

Sean smiled again and said, "Don't worry, I know your principles. In fact, you don't need to emphasize this principle. Think about it, can someone who can rise from District 93 and become a big shot in the business and political circles be a good person in the general sense?"

Gao Yi said honestly: "I don't know where Zone 93 is, nor do I know the origin of the target. Please tell me in detail."

"District 93 has the largest population of North Africans and Arabs. Diso is white, but he was born in District 93, so it is impossible for him to start his business through legal means. So Diso has been a ruthless person since he was young. He first unified District 93, and then he could get out of District 93. Let me put it this way, he does all the business that can make money!"

Gao Yi spread his hands and said, "What do you mean by any business that can make money?"

"Everything you can think of, everything on the dark web, drug trafficking, human trafficking, organizing theft, selling stolen goods, selling guns..."

Xiao En didn't know how to list them all. Gao Yi waved his hand and said, "Okay, I know what profitable businesses are. What next?"

"Diso left District 90 in the early 93s. He had capital, but it was only after leaving District 93 that he entered a path of rapid development. He bought companies at low prices and sold them at high prices. Let me put it this way, Diso has killed dozens of times more people than you and I combined. He is not the kind of boss who rose to power with the help of others. He is a boss who really fought his way up from the bottom. It was not until the early 00s that he cut off his dark history and whitewashed himself into a legitimate businessman, and then mixed into politics."

A big boss who truly came from the bottom is not easy to deal with or to mess with.

Gao Yi said seriously: "Then he doesn't know that he has been rewarded on the dark web?"

"Yes, that's why he protects himself so well. He also uses the dark web to kill many of his competitors. As far as I know, at least ten assassins have died at the hands of Diso."

Sean hesitated for a moment, then he made a guilty expression and whispered, "We received an invitation to assassinate Diso. It was not an open mission, but a direct mission through the dark web to the client. It was worth 50 million US dollars, but we failed and finally had to give up the commission."

"Oh, that's how it is……"

Sean whispered, "But also because of this failed mission, we have done a lot of research on Diso, and have been tracking him for a long time. We have a deep understanding of him. These are all valuable experiences, so he is my first target."

Gao Yi thought for a moment and said, "In other words, if we kill Diso, we won't be hunted down by the French authorities?"

"No, I can assure you of that. Oh, Dissot was a minister for a very short time. He was sentenced to four years in prison for bribery and fraud. He has nothing to do with the French government now."

It’s okay. Although the target Sean chose sounds very powerful, at least he is not the kind that will be hunted down by a big country. If that were the case, Gao Yi would not give Sean any face.

After thinking for a while, Gao Yi looked at Sean and said, "Since you have chosen Diso, you must have found an opportunity, right?"

Sean immediately said, "Diso is one of the backup missions, not the only choice. In fact, I haven't found a particularly good opportunity yet. The information I have now is that Diso's former subordinate, an old subordinate who has followed him for many years, has now been cleaned up and become a successful businessman. This subordinate will hold a grand charity dinner in a month. I speculate and judge that Diso may be able to attend this dinner."

Probably, possibly, perhaps, there is no definite answer anyway, but this is also normal. If it is really easy to grasp the whereabouts of the target, assassination will not be so difficult.

Sean was a little nervous. He whispered, "You said to focus on finding tasks that can be solved in the restaurant. I think a charity dinner might be a good opportunity, so I screened a lot and focused on it. It took me a long time to find this clue and opportunity. What do you think? Can you consider it?"
