the next day.
When Locke returned to the Star Building after class, he just walked out of the elevator and looked at his door, then raised his eyebrows.
So fast?
When Victoria Knox apologized to him yesterday, he had a feeling that someone would come looking for him soon.
but...
So fast?
You are quite capable.
Family members know their own business. The security of the Star Building is no worse than that of the New York Police Department headquarters. Even if there are guests, if they are not residents of the Star Building, they will be contacted for confirmation before being allowed in.
Especially after Locke was kidnapped, security defense was raised to a higher level.
That's it?
Could someone sneak in quietly?
It would be more accurate to say that Locke's last time was not so much a kidnapping as it was his own directorial act. If he were to invade the Star Building, he could actually sneak in without anyone noticing in a certain sense.
Killing everyone who saw him so that no one could see him alive, isn't that also a form of assassination?
Of course.
Although Locke is called Wushuang, generally speaking, he would not choose such an approach. There is still a small probability that this approach will fail.
At the door of my house on the 28th floor.
Just when several uninvited guests who were waiting in Locke's house felt that they might be discovered, Locke opened the door from the outside.
"Hi."
After Locke opened the door, he looked at the man standing opposite him, Callum Lynch, who was wearing a hooded medieval-style assassin's robe. He said, "Mr. Magneto, I've heard a lot about you!"
"…"
Callum hesitated for a moment, then took off his hood, revealing a handsome middle-aged face that resembled a certain mutant boss, Magneto: "I'm not the Magneto you're talking about."
Who are you.
In the mutant universe, you are Magneto.
Locke shrugged and walked towards the bar under the gaze of five people including Callum: "That's a shame, I've always wanted to see Magneto in person."
In the story about mutants, Locke is undoubtedly on the side of Magneto.
A great man once said that if you seek peace through compromise, peace will die, but if you seek peace through struggle, peace will survive.
Professor X is a saint, at best a Gandhi.
Magneto is the real king, and his nickname has the word "king" in it.
Locke took out the bourbon from a secret corner of the bar and looked at Callum who turned around and said, "Want a drink?"
Callum looked at Locke and said, "You are sixteen years old, if the information is correct."
"so what?"
Seeing this, Locke poured himself a glass, took a sip and looked at Callum: "You killers, do you still care about this kind of law?"
Except for Callum, the other three male and one female killers looked at each other in confusion.
Callum felt something strange and looked at Locke curiously: "Do you know us?"
Locke sneered: "Don't you just want to find that Wushuang through me?"
Callum and his accomplice looked at each other and nodded. "Yes, your friend has something that belongs to us. We hope he can return it."
Each golden apple has the power to destroy the world, and their brotherhood, as the former holders of the golden apples, must ensure that each golden apple cannot fall into the hands of evildoers who intend to destroy the world.
A few years ago, he was a death row prisoner, but after awakening the memories of his ancestors, he understood their mission and rebuilt the Roman Brotherhood.
Locke directly extended his hand: "Stop, I have nothing to do with that person you are talking about."
Callum frowned: "We have..."
The words were not finished.
Locke pulled his phone out of his pocket and tossed it to Callum. "That guy not only kidnapped me to the textile factory, but that same night he came to my house and said he'd taken something from the factory that might implicate me. He told me to give this number where they could contact him if anyone came looking for him."
Callum looked down at the unremarkable one-time prepaid phone in his hand.
Locke directly issued an order to evict them: "Now, please leave. I'm not a killer, I'm just a student. Damn it, I'm going to the bank to get a loan tomorrow and replace the door of my house with a safe."
The only female assassin looked at Locke, who was unable to hide his anger, and said with a smile: "The safe can't stop us. If we want to get in, there are plenty of ways to get in."
Locke said unhappily, "Go away, I'm just a student, I don't want to get involved in your affairs."
Callum looked at the prepaid phone in his hand and then at Locke.
quite a while.
"Excuse me."
Callum said this to Locke, then nodded to his four accomplices and walked towards the door.
soon.
Callum and the other five people walked out of the building one after another under the watchful eyes of the two bodyguards on the first floor. By the time the two bodyguards reacted and chased after them, there was no trace of the five people on either side.
The two bodyguards looked at each other with unpleasant expressions, as if they had seen a ghost.
"Lynch."
After the female killer walked away, she looked at Callum and said, "This Locke Broughton is too calm."
Callum nodded: "But at least the information is correct, isn't it?"
They rescued Victoria, and the information Victoria provided was correct. By finding this Locke, they could really get the contact information of the unparalleled assassin.
"Could he be the peerless assassin?"
"Won't."
Callum shook his head after hearing what the female assassin said. "I've seen his hands. An unparalleled assassin who was able to secretly learn the 'gun-flipping technique' from the New York Brotherhood wouldn't have such immature hands."
The female assassin nodded. "When Locke Broughton was in Texas, the Peerless Assassin was also in Texas. He came to New York, and the Peerless Assassin also came to New York. Their relationship is not as simple as Locke said."
It doesn't matter what.
Just based on their whereabouts, there is a lot of suspicion. Even if the two are not the same person, they must have some relationship that outsiders don't know about.
It's just that this relationship has never been found.
actually...
This is what Locke wanted.
If you didn't find it, then it doesn't matter. If you insist that it does matter, then come on, he is the one who is responsible for killing and not burying.
Make a bait that looks like the real thing and go fishing.
Stay at home and rewards will come from heaven.
Isn't it delicious?
In the living room.
Locke stood on the balcony, looking down at the Central Park opposite. Then, when he turned around, he looked at the apartment building opposite the Central Park, turned around and went back into the apartment.
On the roof of the apartment building opposite, the Brotherhood assassins, each with eagle eyes, watched Locke as he turned from the terrace back to the living room, turned on the TV, and kept him in sight at all times.
Just then.
The phone rang.
The three male and one female Brotherhood assassins set their sights on Callum Lynch's hand.
Locke just called Callum.
It rang!
