American manga: start to investigate Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s tax issues

"Well, you don't have to repeat that," said Winston.

"...Have I said that before?" Wick was stunned. He clearly remembered that he didn't seem to have said that he had companions.

"Although I haven't said it yet, from what you decided to do, I can already conclude that you are not a person, but a lunatic."

"...I'm speaking in English. I can't understand the meaning of 'alone' in Chinese." Wick's face darkened.

"Hmm... that's right." Winston said, "So you mean you're not the only one who's crazy?"

"It's not a 'madman'," Wick shook his head and said, "In short, I can't do such a thing by myself."

"...You are very strong, Wick. This is undeniable, otherwise you would not be able to obtain the title of Night Demon, but you must admit that there are not many people as strong as you." Winston sighed.

tone, said.

"Do you dare to say that everyone in your team is as strong as you? Some are strong while others are weak. When facing an enemy like Gaotai Table, any weakness is quite fatal!"

"Although I'm not very willing to admit it, but... you seem to be right." Wick raised his eyebrows and said.

"What?" Winston was stunned, "This is not a joke."

"Perhaps you should be allowed to see them with your own eyes... You have already met one of them."

"Your old friend?" asked Winston.

"No, to be precise, they are some people I have just met...but they all have powerful enough abilities." Wick said, "Maybe you should have heard the names of some of them...Cross."

"...Is it the cross I was thinking of?" Winston asked after a moment of silence.

"I can't read minds, how can I know which cross you are thinking of?"

"That's it, the cross in the League of Assassins? The cross known as the Master Assassin?" Winston also realized that there was something wrong with his words and added.

"Yes, that's him." Wick nodded.

"Well, if that's the case, what you say does have some credibility, but... hasn't he been expelled from the Assassin's League?"

As Winston spoke, he frowned again, "Don't you know this? If you let him be your teammate, then you may have to face the entire Assassin's League!"

"The League of Assassins no longer exists," Wick said.

"...What?" Winston almost suspected that he had heard wrongly.

"You heard that right." Wick took a sip of wine.

"...The cross did it, he alone?" Winston was stunned for a long time and asked again.

"No, it's not him..." Speaking of this, Wick's expression became a little weird, "It's because the Assassin's League has been making profits from illegal activities recently, but it has never paid taxes until now...

"

"What?" Winston confirmed that he heard clearly this time, but he began to wonder if it was Wick's problem.

Because... no tax was paid?

What outrageous reason is this?!

"Yes, that's the reason. I'm not wrong." Wick nodded, "Because there are no taxes paid for profits from illegal activities, the IRS has the right to dispose of them, and then during the investigation by the IRS action specialist, someone

They resisted, and then... the Operations Commissioner wiped out the Assassin's League."

"But the Continental Hotel seems to have received no news at all." Winston shook his head again, feeling as if he had caught a loophole. "If it is a large-scale operation, it is impossible for me to know nothing."

"Yes, because it was not a large-scale operation from the beginning... There was only one person to carry out this task." Wick nodded.

"A person?" Winston listened.

"A person, an IRS operations specialist, yes, you heard that right," Wick said.

"I'm not wondering if I heard wrong, I'm wondering if you're mentally ill!" Winston had a puzzled expression on his face.

"Do you know what you are talking about? Wick? That is an assassin organization that is enough to make the Continental Hotel fearful. Everyone in it is a freak, not like a human being at all! Such an organization, you tell me, they

He was destroyed because he failed to pay taxes and resisted the search?

This kind of thing is simply more outrageous than a third-year national going to an enemy country without permission, wandering around openly and then leaving safely!"

"Although I don't know what you are talking about, I always feel like you are talking about something dangerous." Wick said, "Let's stop this topic. In short, what I said is true, and the IRS agent

The commissioner is also the one who has to do this."

"This news sounds really incredible, but when it comes from your mouth, it seems to have a little credibility." Winston said, "In this case, you now have three legendary members in your team.

?”

"two."

"With you, that's three, Wick. Maybe you were a little unqualified before, but now, when you decide to do such a thing, you are already qualified." Winston shook his head and said,

"The person who dares to make the decision to take action against the high table is either a madman or a legend."

"If possible, I don't want to make such a choice." Wick's face was gloomy, "They forced me."

"...Okay, then I wish you success." Winston poured him a glass of wine.

"I didn't come here to get your blessing... Winston, didn't I say that before?" Wick said.

"You did say that although my memory is not very good, I still remember it clearly. You said that the high table table does not regard me as the owner of the Continental Hotel in New York, but as a subordinate, but... isn't this still

Didn’t happen?”

Winston spread his hands, "I don't think I will do anything to make them want to replace me. Oh, by the way, when you want to attack the high table, remember to stay away from me and don't let me

Difficult to do.”

"I really want to promise you, but it's not up to you." Wick sighed.

"...I thought we were friends...are you going to take action against me?" Winston frowned.

"It's not that I want to attack you, but that person wants to attack you, and I can't stop him." Wick shook his head.

"The IRS tax action specialist is targeting High Table and all affiliated organizations of High Table, which means that the Continental Hotel is also within his target range."
