Chapter 16: Conversation

Wesley had seen the Loom of Fate before. He always thought it was very similar to Hydra’s method of calculation, except that the final result was different and the purpose of the calculation was different.

Carlos was a top assassin in the Brotherhood, so he must know a lot. “Is your organization connected to other organizations?”

“Connection? What do you mean?” Carlos asked.

“You are an assassin organization. You have always acted according to the orders of the Loom of Fate, but Sloan has changed. He filled out goals casually for his own desires. So where does his interest come from? Who gave him the money to kill? He won’t change without benefits. And the Loom of Fate calculated Sloan’s change and sent out the instructions. This is the basis of his change. He saw his name and it accelerated his change, but it still requires benefits.”

“That makes sense. The Assassin Brotherhood has a lot of money since a few years ago. At that time, no one suspected it because the source of our money is not fixed. It is uncertain when it will be more or less.” In the past, they did not kill for money, so the money was not stable. That was why Sloan’s initial change was not discovered until now.

“No leads?”

“No, Sloan is in charge. He’s been running everything for more than a thousand years.” Wesley laughed when he heard this. What a group of weavers with their heads down. How many people have appeared in more than a thousand years using the organization for their own personal gain? This has become a permanent mystery that can never be solved in a lifetime.

“Then we need to investigate Sloan’s external contact first. This is very important. Let’s see if he has external support. The two of us will divide the work. I’ll look for Sloan’s source of funds, and you’ll be responsible for preparing for the attack on Textile Mill No. 17. Well, prepare a large garbage truck with this kind of rat bomb in it, directly attack the main door, and then let the rats out. I think this is very powerful. By the way, prepare some Chinese firecrackers so that the rats can run faster.”

Wesley wanted to track down Sloan’s collaborators. Since there was Iron Man here, Hydra might exist. This was too much of a threat to him, especially the way they calculated it. They might have gotten the idea from the Loom of Fate.

“Okay, but are you going to attack the headquarters first? What about the peripheral personnel?” Carlos asked.

“Sloane is their backbone. As long as we get rid of him first, the entire Assassin Brotherhood will fall apart. The people they are wandering outside are just ordinary assassins. There has never been a lack of killers in this world. They are no longer a threat to us.” The Assassin Brotherhood is very fragile. It was originally formed by a group of weavers around the Loom of Fate. Once the headquarters is breached, everything will disappear.

“Okay, let’s do it tomorrow. What do you want to eat tonight?” Carlos asked.

“Let’s keep it simple. I want six hot dogs and a cup of coffee.” Wesley had no intention of going out because he was surrounded by people looking for him, and a top assassin like Carlos naturally has his own way of moving.

Carlos went shopping, and Wesley began to prepare his weapons. There were some daggers hanging on the wall, and he began to choose. After fighting the Butcher for so long, he was very good at knives and daggers. He chose a smaller one, a longer one, and they were well maintained. The blades were very sharp.

Wesley left the attic. He still needed a pistol, but he would have to find Carlos for that. His weapons and bullets were of a special quality, and Wesley only needed a regular 9mm.

Back in his room, Wesley holstered his only handgun. The handle of the gun had some beautiful carved wood patterns, which was the main reason Wesley had decided to keep it. Some of the more distinctive and beautiful handguns were like that. Fox, on the other hand, used an M1911 with a flash suppressor on the muzzle and a slightly longer clip. It was the main silver color, with an ivory stock guard and a carved barrel holster.

Such a distinctive pistol was Wesley’s favorite, but now was not the time to collect it. He still needed a pistol. As for other firearms, they were not of any use at the moment. The most he had trained was pistols, and the main force of the raid on Textile Mill No. 17 was the rats.

“It’s time to eat.” Carlos also came. Wesley came out with two daggers and a pistol. “I chose two daggers, but I also need a 9mm pistol. One gun is too low firepower. If there are two, it will be perfect.” Wesley took his hot dog and coffee and then said.

“Leave it to me. I have a dedicated firearms channel. Do you need other weapons?”

“No need. The other weapons I have are not good at the moment. I might as well use a pistol. By the way, there can be a few grenades. Are you going to get explosives?”

“Not bad. It needs a lot of explosives and the electronic watch is not enough.”

“Do you need money?” Wesley asked. He didn’t know if he had any funds as a father. After all, they didn’t take money in the past.

“There are still tens of thousands of dollars. I’ll think of something. Don’t worry.” Wesley shook his head. His father was really poor. He put down the food and walked into the room. He had more than 400,000 dollars with him and had not touched it yet. He took out 350,000 dollars. “Here, the props they used to cheat me.”

Carlos looked at Wesley and asked, “So do you still have money?” It seems that this father did kill people who had made any money.

“They used more than three million dollars to tempt me. They said it was my father’s inheritance. Of course, I accepted it completely. Later, I asked to borrow money and borrowed forty-five million dollars to buy a million shares of Stoke Industries. But their share price fell sharply. By the way, have you seen the recent news? I’ve been training and the news can’t see it.”

“I saw some. Tony Stark seems to have been kicked out of the board of directors and hasn’t paid attention to it since.” Carlos was also eating hot dogs.

Wesley thought about it for a moment. It seemed that Stark Industries was about to go to war, and Iron Man was about to appear, and the stock was about to appreciate. “My stock is about to make money. A million shares. As long as the stock of Stoke Industries returns to its original price, I can make more than fifty million. With the principal, I’ll be a billionaire. I think you can retire early.”

“You’re amazing. You didn’t have a chance in the past, did you?” Carlos was very happy for his son, and his son wanted him to retire, so could they live together?

“You don’t have to think about the past all the time. You have to move on. After this is over, you can retire. Let’s go to New York and buy a big beautiful house and live in the sun.”
