Chapter 40 - 40

Locke hung up the phone decisively and drank the wine in his glass.

Good job.

You can't afford to offend the Roman Brotherhood, okay, I can understand that, but Locke Broughton is an outsider in this incident, and it's not right to drag him into it.

What kind of logic is this?

Locke narrowed his eyes and his thoughts raced. When he met Victoria Knox, he was just starting out and some equipment needed to be bought on credit. Victoria happened to show up at that time.

Out of trust, Locke also gave Victoria some things.

That is Locke.

If Wushuang breaches the contract, she can go to Locke, who is his friend. This is a seemingly true news.

They were just starting out at the time, and Victoria was not an angel investor. She didn't want to sell her body, but Victoria needed a guarantee. So, she had to pay for some information, that was for sure. As I said, nothing is free.

If there is, there will definitely be a big trap.

Victoria...

You betrayed my trust.

so.

The Roman Brotherhood will come to me and try to break through from me to find the unparalleled assassin?

Just then.

"bite!"

As soon as Locke thought of it, the system appeared directly to provide Locke's thoughts with sufficient power, allowing his thoughts to run wildly.

"Task generation in progress!"

『Prerequisite Quest: "Assassin's Creed"』

『Task completion rewards: "Achievement points*1000", "Potential points*1000"』

Mission Description: "The Assassins from Rome want to find their lost Golden Apple. However, for the player, what is in the hands of the player is the player's, how can others usurp the right to take it!"

Mission Notes: "This mission can unlock a long-term mission. Of course, players can decide whether to choose short-term rewards or long-term rewards. The specific activation method is up to the player."

『Mission Note: "Tell them that the Brotherhood is no longer Roman orthodoxy. Now, Roman orthodoxy lies in Locke!"』

"Accept/Reject!"

"…"

Good job.

Locke's eyebrows twitched when he saw the bold and enlarged words "Roman orthodoxy is in Locke" in the mission notes.

This is another title.

"Title: Destiny is with Me (obtained during the Wanted Order mission): Wearing this title allows you to be called Destiny. Destiny players have unparalleled luck, but there is a chance that you will attract the hatred and suppression of the Destiny here (current probability, 100%!)"

It is precisely because of this that after obtaining this title, Locke chose to hide himself.

One hundred percent suppression?

Although Locke likes excitement, he doesn't like to seek excitement. Isn't it nice to be able to develop quietly?

Here comes another title.

Locke is the one who holds the title of Roman orthodoxy. He doesn't know what the purpose of this title is, but he thinks it is definitely not a good thing.

I guess if he were to wear this title, the whole of Europe would be in trouble with him.

after all...

After the fall of Rome, every small country in Europe claimed to be Roman orthodoxy.

Um.

It's similar to the situation after Lu Bu's death when so many people emerged saying, "This boy is as brave as Wen Hou."

I don't want to be a superhero, but I don't want to be a supervillain either.

Locke always felt that this dog system was leading him to become a super villain.

Fortunately, he has a clear mind.

Not all players like to have titles on their heads after getting them, no matter whether they are good or bad. Some wealthy players prefer to hide all titles and walk around with white titles.

This is not about playing the pig and eating the tiger, this is about enjoying the quiet and peaceful game life.

Locke is one of these players.

but...

Locke sighed and accepted the task. "If you're hiding when the others are about to come knocking on your door, that's not being prudent, it's being weak and vulnerable."

Come on then.

Who is afraid of who!

"Just right."

Locke took out the leafless golden apple and seemed to have thought of something: "It's timely. OK, I can use this golden apple to do something and completely cut off the peerless assassin."

Although Locke had appeared on the same screen with the Peerless Assassin before, that was on surveillance footage.

Although the New York Police Department may not necessarily doubt his identity, the guys in the dark world who play by different rules might have wild imaginations and suspicions.

This time is a good opportunity.

Just right.

He can use energy to create an energy clone. After playing with it for the past few days, he has been able to do two things at once from being unskilled in the beginning. When the time comes, he can let the Peerless Assassin appear on the same screen with Locke, and completely destroy the idea that Locke is the Peerless Assassin.

"Can I start a long-term mission?"

Locke looked at the notes of this task and felt a little curious: "So, is this considered a main task?"

at the same time.

New York, S.H.I.E.L.D., combat command center.

"What?"

Nick Fury watched the video report from his deputy in the Prescott Organization and said in a deep voice, "How could Victoria escape?"

Damn it, when he came to New York, he arranged the highest level of confinement for his former Agent No. 1.

Did Victoria run away with all this?

The deputy nodded and transmitted the footage from the monitoring room. He then looked at Nick Fury and said, "Sir, the one who rescued Victoria is most likely from the Roman Brotherhood."

"reason?"

"The people who rescued Victoria didn't set off any alarms. By the time our people found her, Victoria had already escaped. No one could have done that except for the Brotherhood assassins of the Roman Brotherhood who were able to turn invisible in front of people."

"…"

Nick Fury frowned as he watched the surveillance video: "What do those assassins who were dead for so many years and were resurrected need Victoria for?"

The surveillance footage showed the interior of the base without any abnormality.

but...

As the surveillance cameras were destroyed one after another, no one could capture what had destroyed them. When the surveillance cameras came back on, all they saw were the various base agents falling to the ground with thuds.

"Are they all dead?"

"No."

The deputy at the base over there took out a thing that looked like a poison needle and said, "They are all anesthetized. It seems that the assassins are also aware of this and are not willing to make a big enemy with us."

Nick Fury groaned, "You're not willing to make a big enemy, but you treat my impregnable base as your own backyard. Isn't this not a big enemy?"

The base deputy said nothing.

Nick Fury was too lazy to say anything. It had already happened, and it was too late to find out the reason: "Look for Victoria Knox again."

MMP!

Are you playing this game of jumping back and forth with me?

Agent No. 1 finally caught him, but Agent No. 83 escaped.

Now that we have finally found the trace of Agent No. 83, Agent No. 1 has escaped again?
