Five days passed in a flash.
Because of Alex's maneuvers, New York's gang chaos didn't subside—
instead, it grew even worse…
St. Dian Strip Club.
Bang!
Bang, bang!
Night Demon, bare-chested, fists wrapped in brass knuckles, struck the sandbag again and again.
Beneath it, blood seeped out continuously…
A nervous gang boss under the Night Demon Organization stood nearby, reporting the latest news:
"Yellowstone has already lost two-thirds of its turf. At this pace… it'll be gone completely very soon…"
"And besides Yellowstone, two of our other satellite groups have been wiped out by the Hadro Organization and the Giselle Gang. Their turf is gone too…"
Bang!
A heavy punch.
Rip—!
The sandbag tore apart.
A mutilated figure rolled out, collapsing into the pool of blood on the floor, whimpering faintly.
The sight made the reporting boss tremble violently.
Night Demon removed his brass knuckles, calmly picked up a towel, wiped the blood from his fists, crouched down, and stared coldly at the man dying on the ground.
"Bradley. Your Yellowstone Gang couldn't block those filthy rats. That means… you no longer have any reason to live."
He stood, and with one kick snapped the man's neck.
"Five days. And those three gangs haven't slowed down at all?"
He turned, looking at the reporting boss.
The man swallowed hard and quickly answered:
"No… the three gangs… they're fighting with no restraint…"
"Heh… and aren't they the ones closest to the Lighthouse Hotel?"
"Yes… And the Takuya-kai—their leader was taken five days ago and hasn't been seen since. Their turf is now being used as the Lighthouse Organization's outpost…"
"This Lighthouse Organization… looks like they want to force me out personally."
Night Demon's lips curled into a cold smile.
"Find me a few capable fighters from the Viggo Gang and the Vietnamese Gang. Tell them to bring me the leader of the Deli Gang… alive."
Early in the morning, a familiar system notification rang in Alex's mind:
[Ding! System shop refresh complete. This week's discount items have been updated…]
His eyes snapped open.
Before even sitting up, he muttered eagerly:
"System, open the shop!"
The familiar panel appeared:

[5. Assassin Camp LV2: Every 24 hours, automatically recruits 5 elite assassins, green grade. Price: 100 coins (70% off, limited).]
"Nice—!"
Alex clenched his fist in excitement.
He hadn't expected the free shop refresh to be so generous.
Without hesitation, he opened his personal backpack, checking his gold balance:
[Sand Coins: 433]
Enough!
He instantly bought everything.
The moment the items arrived, Alex eagerly pulled out the Purple Assassin Recruitment Scroll.
A thought—
The scroll vanished.
Purple light filled the room.
And then… a tall figure appeared.
Her build rivaled Anna's…
Alex immediately checked her profile panel:
[Name: Nikita][Age: 26][Height: 170 cm][Skills: English LV4, Mandarin LV4, Stealth & Disguise LV3, Close-Combat LV4, Firearms Mastery LV4, Driving LV3, Hacking LV3…][Talents: Firearms Affinity LV4, Fast Learner LV4…][Flaw: Too emotional—doomed never to become the very top assassin.]
Alex smacked his lips.
He hadn't expected… to summon this woman.
