"You are very courageous, and you are worthy of being a student taught by Cross."

Sloan lowered his gaze and seemed not annoyed by David's blackmail.

After pondering for a moment, he took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, gave a few instructions, and then looked at David again.

"Fifty million, will be paid immediately."

bite!

In less than a minute, David received a text message.

The Swiss bank salary account balance linked to the fraternity had a huge sum of $50 million.

"The deal is done, it's time for you to fulfill your promise." Sloan said.

"certainly."

David was in a good mood after receiving the money: "Cross's safe house is right under your nose."

"What do you mean?" Sloan asked with a frown.

"Have you ever thought about why Cross was able to discover your movements as soon as you approached Wesley, and a gun battle broke out with Fox at the scene?" David asked rhetorically.

Sloan wondered how David knew this.

As a member of the underground world, you must always have your own sources of information.

"This shows that Cross has been paying attention to his only son." He fell into deep thought and was vaguely aware of it.

"good."

David smiled and said: "You have said it so clearly, can't you still guess the location of Cross's safe house?"

"What?"

Sloan was stunned for a moment. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and finally they converged into one line. He suddenly laughed: "The answer is so simple."

"Yes, the answer is that simple."

David collected the money and was still in the fraternity's lair, but he remained calm and stated the facts: "You were frightened by Cross, and you were trapped in a circle, but I was not."

"This fifty million is well spent."

After finally getting clues about Cross's trace, Sloan was refreshed and a little excited. He was no longer as calm as before.

"In this case, I won't send it to you."

He glanced at David and issued an expulsion order: "From now on, I don't want to see you in the brotherhood."

"Don't worry, we'll never see each other again."

David waved his hand and turned to leave.

Bang!

The office door was closed, blocking out Sloan's seemingly calm but actually cold gaze.

"What a smiling tiger."

David recalled the conversation with Sloan just now, with a disdainful sneer on his lips, knowing full well the threat in Sloan's words.

From beginning to end, Sloan never wanted to let himself go.

As long as it is later confirmed that what he said is true, Sloan will immediately issue a "wanted order" against himself.

In Sloan's view, the 50 million was just temporarily stored in his hands, and he had various means to get the money back.

This is why Sloan gave money so freely.

After all, 50 million is not a small amount for Sloan.

In the memory of being a member of the fraternity instilled in the system, David only saved a million dollars after joining the fraternity for five years. His income level is not low among the fraternity members. Although it is far behind Cross, he can barely compete with Cross.

Fox et al.

If placed on ordinary people, this income would be appropriate for the elite class, but if placed in a killer circle where capable people gather, especially a top killer circle, it would be a bit shabby.

Even his mentor, the strongest assassin in the Brotherhood, the "cross" who could be ranked in the world - Cross, the balance accumulated in the bank card over the years is only about three million.

.

It is conceivable that the overall income of fraternity members is lower than those of the same level.

This is not controlled by Sloan, but the Brotherhood, a killer organization that has been passed down for many years, is not profitable in itself.

The core of the operation of the Brotherhood is faith.

Talk about faith,

You can't talk about money.

Sloan is rich because he has no faith.

Sloan betrayed his faith and forged "Destiny's" assassination list to benefit himself. This is the reason why he has accumulated huge wealth over the years.

The cloth with Sloan's name woven by the loom of destiny was the key factor in Sloan's betrayal of faith... Tracing back to the source, it is no longer clear whether the cloth came first and then Sloan's betrayal, or whether Sloan betrayed his faith first and then the cloth.

important.

What's important is that this is Cross's reason for defecting from the Brotherhood, and it's also the biggest secret he holds about Sloan that he doesn't want others to know.

Leave the office and go down the circular staircase.

David was surprised to find that Fox was still leaning on the ladder railing, waiting for him.

"Is something wrong?"

David raised his eyebrows.

"I'll give you a piece of advice, leave New York."

Fox seemed to be thinking about it and said calmly: "Sloan will not let you go."

"So, you are willing to let me go?"

David looked at the outstanding beauty in front of him, circling her alluring body curves with admiring eyes, and said casually, "This is really a surprising piece of advice."

"Damn it Cross."

Fox is obviously dissatisfied with Sloan's decision, but as a member of the Brotherhood, she must unconditionally obey the leader's orders: "In this chaos caused by Cross, many colleagues died, but there are always innocent people."

The cool moonlight shines into the house through the arched windows on the upper part of the wall, and the bright light pours on Fox.

With his wavy golden hair, tall nose, sculpted cheeks, and skin as white as snow, Fox is like an elf who stepped out of a fantasy world.

"I don't want to hurt innocent people, but I can't disobey Sloan's orders and the instructions of fate." Fox said, "So, escape as much as possible. Leave New York as far away as possible."

"I suddenly like you a little bit, Fox."

David laughed: "I can't leave... I blackmailed Sloan for fifty million, and he will soon send someone to kill me."

With that said, he extended a warm invitation to Fox: "If possible, I hope the person who comes to kill me is you."

"What did you say?"

Fox was stunned and didn't pay attention to the second half of David's words. Her face was stiff and she repeated the key words in her mind: "You blackmailed Sloan for 50 million?"

"good."

After speaking, David passed by Fox again: "If you want to know the truth, I will tell you when you come to kill me."

This time, the rich smell of engine oil on Fox's body became much better to David's perception.

Fox narrowed his eyes and watched David's figure disappear into the night.

This expression made her bright and charming face no longer bright and looked a little gloomy.

"Fifty million?"

A thought passed through her mind: "Sloan...where did he get fifty million?"

As a senior member of the fraternity, she knows very well the operation of the organization.

Even the entire fraternity couldn't come up with 50 million, so how could Sloan be blackmailed by David for 50 million?

She didn't think David was lying.

If it was a lie, then the lie was too clumsy, and David would not be so mindless.

Didi didi!

Suddenly, the assembly bell rang in the textile factory.

Fox was awakened by the sound, came back to his senses, and looked at the office on the second floor.

Da da da da!

Soon, the repairmen, butchers, gunsmiths and others located on the first floor and basement appeared in front of her at the same time, along with Wesley, who had been trained by them.

"Fox, let's go, Sloan has issued a summons."

"Do you know why he did it?"

"David came just now. He and Sloan talked for a while. I thought maybe it was because of the goal of their conversation."

"You mean... Cross?"

Everyone looked at each other.

"Sloan found Cross?"

Wesley had just been undergoing special training and was dripping with sweat. When he heard these words, he was instantly excited and his eyes lit up.

"I can finally take revenge?!"

Office on the second floor.

The room was very quiet and you could hear a pin drop.

The atmosphere became tense, the flow of time seemed to slow down, and everyone's heartbeats increased to 400.

On the desk in front of the wall-mounted bookshelf, Sloan sat on the chair and remained calm, looking at the people he had summoned before him.

These are the top brass of the Brotherhood and his confidants.

As for the people who were closer to Cross, they have all left now... some left temporarily, some left permanently, there is almost no difference between the two.

Tick ​​tock!

The pointer on the wall rotates little by little, representing the slow passage of time.

"Everyone, you should have guessed it."

Sloan broke the silence: "I received intelligence and basically locked the location of the Cross safe house... However, now is not the time to take action, we are not ready yet."

"No, I'm ready."

Wesley was the latest member to join the fraternity, and he was also the most special one among them. He lacked an in-depth understanding of Sloan's power within the fraternity. He only knew that Sloan had the final say in the fraternity, and he strived to

Convince Sloan to take action as soon as possible.

"I am the main force of this mission."

He said without hesitation: "I have completed the tasks assigned by the Brotherhood, and I have the ability to perform the tasks. Sloan, you have to believe me."

"Of course I believe you."

Sloan's eyes were gentle and fixed on Wesley.

This look was just like his experience in the fraternity these days, making Wesley feel as warm as family.

Sloan's words rang in Wesley's ears: "You have inherited your father's bloodline as the strongest killer, so you should be able to do all this..."

"Then why not now?"

Wesley was quite dissatisfied, thinking that Sloan's statement was an expression of distrust in his ability, and his irritability was visible to the naked eye: "What if we don't take action now and let him run away?"

"Cross won't run away...he won't back down until he kills us all."

Fox suddenly spoke with a very sure tone, as if he was solving a math problem that had only one solution.

The gunsmith, repairman, butcher and others beside him did not speak. Judging from their expressions, they strongly agreed with Fox's point of view.

Wesley looked around and saw that everyone had this idea. Although he was puzzled, he did not pursue it out of trust. Instead, he asked his doubts: "When will it be ready?"

"Hurry, our opportunity is coming."

Sloan said, turning to look at the neon lights outside the window, his eyes were deep, as if he could see through the deep darkness of the night:

"After Cross attacks us next time, it will be our turn to fight back."

"Next attack?"

Wesley reacted for a moment, but didn't react.

However, Fox and others immediately understood what Sloan meant - when Cross successfully attacks the Brotherhood members next time and returns to the safe house satisfied and exhausted, they will usher in a full-scale counterattack by the Brotherhood members.

"Sloan, what should we do about David?"

She hesitated, thinking of David who had just left the textile factory, and couldn't help but ask: "He has shown kindness to us, do we still have to deal with him?"

"Fate has pronounced its verdict."

Sloan took out a document from the drawer of his desk, with a piece of cloth stapled on it, densely written with binary translation codes, which summed up into one name - David Fisk.

"The top priority is Cross...after Cross dies, we will have enough time to kill David."

Sloan's tone was unquestionable: "However, we need to lock David's location and not let him escape. Fox, please take the time to pay attention to David's traces."

"clear."

Fox nodded.

No one noticed that Fox stared at the document in Sloan's hand, his delicate brows furrowed, and a trace of hesitation appeared in his emerald eyes, recalling that before David left, he said that he had blackmailed Sloan for 50 million.

.

"As expected, David told Sloan the location of Cross. He didn't lie to me... So, it's true that he blackmailed Sloan for 50 million..."

She frowned without leaving a trace, showing suspicion: "Where did Sloan get the fifty million?"
