Chapter 52 - Ten Rings

Broly sat in the bar on the seventh basement level of the Continental Hotel, elegantly cutting his steak with a dinner knife, his movements impeccable. If he did something once, he could remember it perfectly with muscle memory, combined with his keen observation skills. It would take ordinary people a dozen years to cultivate the noble etiquette, but he needed only a few minutes to do it flawlessly.

As long as he wasn't too hungry, he was happy to put on a show.

Charon stood beside him, wearing white gloves and holding a bottle of wine, pouring for Broly at the right moments.

"What's with the Grim Reaper thing?"

Broly forked a piece of steak and put it in his mouth. He was puzzled as to how this strange title came about.

"Mr. Wayne, it's because of your exquisite technique of killing people with the pigeon cards, which left a very deep impression on everyone, so they gave you such a terrifying title."

Famous assassins usually have their own titles. The legendary assassin John Wick, because of his peerless hunting skills and his identity as a Belarusian gypsy, was known as the Night Demon and Baba Yaga.

Baba Yaga was a witch in ancient Russian fairy tales, who specialized in eating children who got lost in the forest.

"Pigeons? Those were bats!"

Broly almost lost it, saying with a bit of gritted teeth.

Charon, holding the wine bottle, stiffened. No one would mistake that for a bat, he was screaming in his heart.

"Forget it, I made a new set of darts, I believe it won't be long before this error is corrected." Broly said, stacking the empty plates and pulling a new plate of steak in front of him. "Who is the big client you mentioned?"

Charon bowed slightly.

"Because this task is very astonishing, if it is leaked, the impact will be very bad, so after Mr. Wayne finishes his meal, I will take you to a safer place to understand the mission information."

Broly forked a whole steak and stuffed it in his mouth, then wiped his mouth with a napkin.

"Let's go then."

"Yes, Mr. Wayne."

Charon snapped his fingers, signaling for the waiter to clear the table. He then took Broly to the rooftop of the Continental Hotel in the elevator.

The open-air rooftop was furnished with luxurious leather sofas, solid wood wine cabinets, and a huge fireplace.

The firewood was burning fiercely in the fireplace, making a crackling sound. Winston was already sitting on the sofa, waiting for Broly to arrive.

"Hello, Grim Reaper."

He was holding a glass of whiskey, saying to Broly.

Charon's face showed embarrassment. He hurried forward and whispered a few words into Winston's ear.

"Pfft..."

Winston sprayed the whiskey out of his mouth and coughed violently, taking a long time to recover.

"Mr. Wayne, the target of this mission is very astonishing, I hope you will consider it carefully. Once you hear the detailed information of the bounty, you are not allowed to disclose any related information, otherwise you will be wanted by the High Table and will have no place to stand."

He looked at Broly seriously.

"The target is that Tony Stark, right?"

Broly sat on the sofa, saying with boredom.

"That's right, recently, only Tony Stark can be treated so cautiously. The employer originally hired terrorists from Afghanistan, but these terrorists seemed to have their own plans. After kidnapping Tony Stark, they didn't kill him, but imprisoned him."

"This made the employer very angry, but after Tony Stark was kidnapped, he was under the spotlight, closely monitored by the CIA and other special agent organizations, so he could only kill Tony Stark through us."

Winston said, he did not reveal the identity of the employer.

Many gossip tabloids had already listed several most suspicious targets through conspiracy theories. For example, Obadiah Stane, the major shareholder of Stark Industries, Justin Hammer of Hammer Industries, and even the Pentagon were suspected of being behind the kidnapping of Tony Stark.

Tony Stark's route was very secret, only a very few people knew, those terrorists appeared too coincidentally.

"Those terrorists are not simple, they are from the Ten Rings. The leader of the Ten Rings, Fire Cloud Evil God, is an extremely terrifying person. Although he was defeated by the martial artists of the East twenty years ago and fled to the Middle East, he rebuilt the Ten Rings not long after. It is said that he is already over ninety years old, and the High Table suffered heavy losses because of him."

"Of course, he has been avoiding the pursuit of the Eastern martial artists in recent years, living in seclusion, and those who are active outside are his disciples and subordinates. There is no need to face him directly when assassinating Tony Stark."

"Mr. Wayne will have to face about two hundred armed members of the Ten Rings. They are equipped with advanced weapons produced by Stark Industries, and even heavy weapons like main battle tanks. But they are all ordinary people. I believe Mr. Wayne will be able to sneak in and complete the assassination of Tony Stark without anyone knowing."

Because of the continuous support from Stark Industries, the Ten Rings gained a foothold in Afghanistan, repelled the Eastern martial artists who came to them, and even became the underground rulers of Afghanistan.

Winston said.

"The employer was willing to try to hand over this very difficult bounty to our Continental Hotel because he heard about Mr. Wayne's perfect performance in hunting Dave Boyle. The bounty is fifty million US dollars, and it will be credited to your account immediately as long as Tony Stark's death is confirmed. You can consider whether to accept this bounty."

Broly clenched his fists excitedly. This world seemed to be different from the movies and comics, even Fire Cloud Evil God appeared.

"Of course I accept it, two hundred people, and Fire Cloud Evil God, why not accept it."

If it was really the Fire Cloud Evil God from the Dragon Tiger Gate comic, Broly couldn't wait to fight him. He was so excited that he couldn't even control the surging energy in his body.

Winston was shocked by the surge of energy, and his hair stood on end. It was as if the person sitting opposite him was not a person, but a terrifying beast in human skin, ready to tear off the disguise and destroy everything in front of him.

"Since you have agreed, you can view further intelligence." Winston forced himself to calm down and took out a map from his pocket. "The map marks all the Ten Rings strongholds known to the employer. Tony Stark may be imprisoned in one of the strongholds."

Winston paused here.

"In addition, try to use the method of sneaking in and assassinating. Do not cause too much damage to the Ten Rings. If you anger Fire Cloud Evil God, you will die, and even the High Table will be affected."

The core of the High Table was originally in the Middle East, which was considered the local tyrant of the entire Middle East, but they suffered heavy losses when facing the Ten Rings, and were almost driven out of the Middle East.

This time, accepting the bounty to assassinate Tony Stark also meant to cause some trouble for the Ten Rings.
