Zhang Jie didn't get the information he wanted from Veronica, but he wasn't discouraged; after all, who could say for sure with these things? Besides, the call mentioned 24 hours of consideration time, which meant he would still call him back after 24 hours. No rush, just wait and see.
After all, 1.5 million US dollars was really tempting, wasn't it?
Lying on the sofa, Zhang Jie pulled out his phone again and scrolled through the assassin APP. The missions there were as usual, no big assignments, just a few scattered small jobs.
Just as he was getting bored and about to close the APP, a pop-up suddenly appeared.
"Emergency Mission, Limited Time Acceptance."
Zhang Jie glanced at it, then clicked on it.
After all, he had never encountered this before, so he was a bit curious.
After opening the pop-up, he saw the content inside.
> Mission Location: New York · Broadway <
> Mission Target: Silas Webber <
> Reward: $250,000.00 <
> Danger Level: ★★★ <
> Acceptance Condition: Located near New York, priority for those who can complete the mission within two hours. <
Attachment: Photo and detailed address of the mission target.
"Huh? A three-star mission with a 250,000 US dollar reward, that's not common."
Zhang Jie accepted the mission without a second thought.
He happened to be nearby and was a bit bored.
He quickly prepared his equipment.
A bulletproof suit was essential, and a bulletproof vest underneath was also necessary.
Main weapon: Smith & Wesson MP9, with a suppressor, three magazines.
Secondary weapon: glock 34, four magazines.
A tactical dagger, one flashbang.
After getting ready, Zhang Jie left the house, got into his car, and sped towards Broadway.
As for the Russian's mission, hehe, who cared about that? First, earn the money he could get his hands on.
An hour later, Zhang Jie appeared near the New York City Center Theater on Broadway.
The person he was to eliminate was currently watching a play in the theater.
However, when Zhang Jie arrived at the City Center Theater, he found that the security here seemed very tight.
"I wonder who this guy named Silas Webber is, to have so much security?"
Muttering to himself, Zhang Jie studied how to get into the New York City Center Theater.
But soon, his eyes lit up.
He followed a few young people into the theater, and once inside, he found that compared to the few security guards outside, there seemed to be even more security inside.
Not only were there security guards, but he also noticed some suspicious-looking individuals, though these were not within his mission scope, so he ignored them.
According to the mission attachment, the target was in the VIP box, so he couldn't be seen from the regular seats. Thus, he walked towards the second floor.
On the second floor, he found that the security was even tighter than on the first floor. Within his line of sight, there were at least four security personnel.
It seemed this guy was very concerned about his personal safety. Zhang Jie then continued forward, but going further ahead would likely be difficult, so Zhang Jie moved along the wall.
At this moment, a security guard walked over, and he immediately dodged behind a curtain.
The security guard kept walking from around the corner and soon reached the curtain, noticing a pair of shoes behind it. His Be alert (alertness greatly increased).
His hand pressed on the Pistol at his waist, then he slowly walked towards the curtain. When he pulled back the curtain, he found only a pair of leather shoes on the ground and nothing else.
Just as he let out a sigh of relief, a dagger directly slit his throat, and he conveniently took the earpiece from his ear.
"Ha~ ha~"
The man whose windpipe was cut could only make gasping sounds, and blood flowed profusely. He clutched his neck, trying to slow the bleeding.
But Zhang Jie didn't give him a chance; instead, he delivered another stab to his temple.
Then, Zhang Jie put on the leather shoes and continued to walk inside.
Since the security guards were mobile, there was no fixed position.
When Zhang Jie approached the second security guard from behind, he was watching the performance below.
"Really not professional at all."
Zhang Jie muttered softly, then stood behind him with the dagger. Suddenly, he covered the guard's mouth with one hand, and the dagger in his other hand directly slit the guard's throat. He then dragged him to the safety passage at the back and threw him inside.
After dealing with the two security guards, Zhang Jie continued forward. At this time, the other two security guards had already moved to the other side, and Zhang Jie directly approached the VIP box.
Inside the VIP box, two VIPs were watching the performance below, a man and a woman. The man was a bit old, wearing a light blue gilded suit that looked very expensive.
Zhang Jie pulled out his MP9 and came up behind the man.
He took out his phone, opened the attachment, and looked at the photo.
"Silas Webber?"
Zhang Jie's voice made the man and woman, who were engrossed in watching the ballet performance below, turn their heads to look at him. But what they saw was the dark muzzle of a gun and a young-looking Asian man.
Upon seeing the dark muzzle of the gun, Silas didn't panic; instead, he calmly asked, "Who sent you to kill me?"
"Assassin's code of conduct prohibits revealing employer information," Zhang Jie casually retorted.
Silas shrugged, "How much did he pay? Never mind, I'll offer double the amount for my life. What do you think?"
He had originally intended to ask how much Zhang Jie's employer had paid for his life, but after thinking about it, he directly offered double the price. He no longer asked how much it actually cost; after all, compared to his own life, those things were not important.
"Although I'm very tempted, I'm sorry, assassins also have professional ethics," Zhang Jie said with an apologetic expression, then pulled the trigger.
Puff!
With a soft sound, like someone coughing, a red dot appeared on the man's chest, and then blood slowly flowed out.
As he fired, Zhang Jie also made a "shush" gesture to the woman.
Silas looked at Zhang Jie with an expression of disbelief.
At this moment, Zhang Jie fired another shot, this time directly at his forehead.
This time, the skull was directly blown open, blood splattered, and the woman's pristine clothes and delicate face were also stained with blood.
But under Zhang Jie's pressure, she didn't scream, and Zhang Jie merely waved his hand at her. The woman then rushed out, somewhat in a state of collapse.
Then, Zhang Jie opened his phone's camera, took two photos, uploaded the mission, then calmly put away his Pistol and walked out from the other side of the VIP box.
After the panicked woman ran out of the VIP box, she finally couldn't help but collapse and scream loudly, running forward while shouting. Her voice also attracted the attention of the security personnel.
Two rushing security guards held Pistols, but as they passed a curtain, they discovered that their comrade had already been killed.
Their hearts immediately sank with a bad feeling, and they pulled out the MP5s hidden under their suits and rushed towards the VIP box.
Another security guard also arrived, and both arrived at the same time, simultaneously discovering the thoroughly dead Silas.
"Mission target has been eliminated!"
This information was instantly transmitted through the security guards' earpieces.
