Chapter 8 - Mysterious Woman

With Tombstone gone, Kingpin was left alone in the room. The gloomy Kingpin leaned back in his Boss chair, then took out a phone from the drawer of the desk that had been smashed in half.

He then dialed a mysterious number on the phone. Before long, the call connected.

Immediately, a low voice came from the other end of the line: "Calling me this late, do you have some good news to tell me?"

Hearing this, Kingpin did not speak immediately. He paused for a moment before saying in a cold tone, "Things have developed beyond our control. A mysterious Silver-haired woman suddenly appeared.

Not only did she save Loren Morgan's life, but she also found the Gunman who shot the Morgan family head. So, it's highly likely they already know we did this.

Therefore, I've decided to raid Morgan Manor tonight and kill Loren Morgan one step ahead. However, this operation isn't that simple, so I need your help."

"Fuck, are you calling me in the middle of the night just to keep me awake? Raiding Morgan Manor, how could you even think of that? Since the Morgan family head died, Morgan Manor has been protected by layers upon layers of security.

The security force inside the Manor is comparable to an army. How capable are you to dare raid the Manor at this time? You're just going to your death, Kingpin. I always thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you to be as stupid as a pig."

Cursed at by the mysterious person on the other end of the phone, Kingpin also got angry and said impolitely, "You'd better speak a little more politely. That's not what you said when you came to me back then.

You said Loren Morgan was a brainless dandy, a waste, and killing him was as simple as killing a chicken. But what's with that Silver-haired woman assassin who suddenly appeared now?

Not only did she kill the people I sent out, but she even flew to Mexico and burned down the drug lord's lair. With such ruthless methods, you actually have the nerve to say Loren is a waste?

A large part of why things have reached this point today is because of the incorrect information you provided. You must take responsibility for this.

Don't forget, we are now grasshoppers tied to the same boat. If something happens to me, you won't be able to escape either."

"You're threatening me!"

"This isn't a threat, but stating a fact. Of course, if you want to consider it a threat, then it is. So I advise you to think carefully about how to handle this matter."

Listening to Kingpin, the mysterious person on the other end of the phone fell silent for a moment before continuing, "I understand what you mean. I will handle this matter.

However, before that, don't act rashly, and don't reveal even a tiny bit of information. Otherwise, even God won't be able to save you.

Oh, right, those few bottles of potion I gave you before, you can use them now. Trust me, that stuff can help you get through this crisis. It's just a female assassin, it's no big deal."

"It's not your people who died, of course you say it lightly. I won't waste any more words with you. I'll give you one day. By tomorrow night, I must see you take action, otherwise there's no need for us to continue cooperating."

With that, Kingpin directly hung up the phone, showing no respect to the other party at all. Being able to become the underground emperor of America, he was naturally not someone to be trifled with, even though the person on the other end of the phone had a significant background.

But if he couldn't even save his own life because of this matter, then there was no need for him to give the other party face. Either way, it was death, so who was afraid of whom!

New York, 40 kilometers away from the urban area, in a forest, there is a hidden underground secret base. At this moment, a woman in the secret base was listening to the busy tone from the phone, her face extremely grim.

"Hanging up on someone directly is very rude, Kingpin. You're becoming more and more unpleasant. Just wait! I will make you pay the price." The woman's fingers gently tapped on the table, her words filled with arrogant disdain for everything.

A moment later, she summoned a subordinate: "Two things. First, investigate the situation regarding that Silver-haired woman who appeared beside Loren. Second, there is no need for Kingpin, this chess piece, to continue existing."

"Understood. Before dawn, I will turn Kingpin into a corpse." The subordinate nodded and quickly left the base. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the night of the forest.

As for the conversation between Kingpin and the mysterious woman and their respective plans, Loren naturally had no idea.

At this moment, he was fully immersed in building the anti-gravity drones in his secret laboratory. Because the system had already rewarded him with the complete technical solution, it saved him the time for research and development.

Now he just needed to follow the technical specifications, manufacture the corresponding parts, and then assemble them.

It was easy to say, but doing it was extremely difficult, especially for ordinary people. It was practically as hard as ascending to heaven, basically an impossible task.

But Loren was not an ordinary person. He was the young master of a top financial group family. He possessed billions of assets, and his family owned various enterprises, including military factories capable of manufacturing weapons.

Therefore, if he wanted a part, even if he couldn't temporarily build it in the laboratory himself, with just a word, countless enterprises under his family would frantically manufacture it for him.

So, in less than half a day, he got all the parts for assembling the anti-gravity drones ready.

Of course, he made the core parts himself, such as the anti-gravity device and the energy supply device. He completed them independently and did not let a second person know.

So even if the manufacturing methods for most parts of the anti-gravity drones were leaked, he didn't have to worry about someone being able to build a complete anti-gravity drone. This was the confidence that came from mastering the core technology.

After all the parts for the anti-gravity drones were built, Loren immediately threw himself into the drone assembly. After careful assembly, a drone shaped like a surveillance camera appeared before him and 2B.

"Boss, is this the anti-gravity drone you mentioned? Its shape is quite peculiar; it looks like a surveillance camera. Is the power of this thing really as strong as you say?" 2B asked curiously.

Since she was not the 2B from the original world, she naturally didn't know about the existence of anti-gravity drones.

"Yes, although the shape of this anti-gravity drone is peculiar, it can fly quickly by ignoring gravity. With the current energy device technology, it can fly continuously for 24 hours."

Besides its extremely fast flight speed and long endurance, it also has built-in bullet launchers and laser emitters, so it can perform long-range firepower strikes. This can just compensate for your weakness in not being able to attack from a distance.

So, as long as you are equipped with it, your combat power will definitely reach a new height. Of course, as for how high this new height can reach, you will have to verify it yourself."

"Verify it myself? Boss, do you have a new mission for me?"

"Yes, I want you to go to Kingpin Tower immediately, pry Kingpin's mouth open for me, and I want to know the whole truth!"

"Understood, I'll act immediately!"

Hearing the new mission assigned by Loren, 2B did not hesitate at all and immediately took action.
