Chapter 1324: I Lied, and Elder and Kingpin
Knowing that a certain person who had been beaten up like a dog wasn"t in a good mood, James sent just two people to this small villa in the mountains, in case this guy, who was acting more and more abnormal, caused trouble again.
Bullseye opened the window and looked at the dark mountains outside, his heart burning.
"Boogeyman, just you wait. I"ll find you and stab you to death!" he murmured with a deranged smile.
Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine, and he subconsciously raised his elbow and jabbed backward.
Then, he felt a sharp pain, as if his elbow had hit a rock.
Before he could say anything else, a big hand covered his mouth, and a low but clear voice rang out. "Don"t bother. I found you!"
Bullseye trembled and struggled wildly.
To his despair, however, he slowly rose and floated out the window.
The arms behind him were like iron that completely restrained his hands.
His movements were severely restricted, and he couldn"t even reach for his knives.
As he despaired, he floated higher and higher.
He couldn"t even hear the rustle of the man"s clothes as they rose up.
That low voice sounded again in his ear. "Do you know who I am?"
Bullseye: "Mmph."
The man said, "That"s right. I"m G.o.d"s messenger, the angel who judges all sin."
Bullseye was both frightened and angry.
The man said, "Fine, I lied. Actually, I"m h.e.l.l"s messenger, the night demon who harvests evil souls."
Bullseye: "Mmph."
The man said, "Fine, I lied again. I"m just a bundle of thoughts of the innocent people you"ve killed. They"re going to take you to the underworld and cut you into pieces."
Bullseye trembled and didn"t cry out in protest.
Sensing his emotions, Luke was lost for words. It seemed that this guy really believed that?
But he wasn"t done yet. He simply continued speaking in a low voice, which reached Bullseye"s ears with Elementary Sound Wave. "Idiot! You actually took it seriously! That"s a lie too! Actually, it"s because you"re too stupid, and I can"t take it anymore. I should just kill you!"
Bullseye"s eyes were bloodshot as he continued to protest.
Unfortunately, Luke"s telekinesis had already lifted them hundreds of meters into the air; no one else could sense the anger in Bullseye"s voice.
Luke chuckled. "Alright, don"t struggle. Come with me. I"ll definitely send you to h.e.l.l."
After having enough fun, he finally gave Bullseye a sedative, then threw him into s.p.a.ce 2 a few seconds later.
In the night sky, the White Wolf Armor glided away.
…
At that moment, in a palace on the edge of the Sahara Desert, a middle-aged man in an Arabian robe listened gloomily to the report of his subordinate, who was half-kneeling.
"All 106 people of the third special service team, including the commander, are dead. The three judges are also confirmed dead. The self-destruct system was activated. The follow-up has already been handled. There are no other problems." An old man in a similar robe bowed his head and fell silent after he was done talking.
The middle-aged man stood up and slowly paced in front of his seat. "So, the Boogeyman is still alive and kicking?"
The old man said, "Judging from the video, he wasn"t seriously injured."
The middle-aged man"s eyes flickered. "How about the man who pretended to be a special service member and fought the Boogeyman?"
The old man said, "From his movements, it has basically been confirmed that he"s an American hitman called Bullseye. He"s been working for Kingpin for the past few years."
The middle-aged man snorted and was silent for a moment before he finally said, "Reveal that the Boogeyman and Daywalker are partners and are hunting vampires. Also, provide those people with detailed information on the Boogeyman."
"Yes, Elder." The old man lowered his head and waited quietly.
The middle-aged man walked back and forth for a few minutes before he suddenly realized that the old man was still on his knees. He waved his hand impatiently. "Go."
The old man got up respectfully and left the room, his body still bowed, before he turned around and quickly left.
The middle-aged "Elder" sat down again on a luxurious gold divan and leaned back. He closed his eyes and thought for a moment, before he summoned another servant in the room and asked, "Is Kingpin working with Roxxon?"
The servant said, "Kingpin is involved with Cybertek. He"s supposedly taking part in an R&D project for a super soldier exoskeleton. Kingpin provided some funding and the test environment."
The Elder naturally knew what was going on.
On the surface, Cybertek had nothing to do with Roxxon Corporation, but Roxxon Corporation was secretly involved in this company"s operations.
Roxanne had always been like this; it liked to hide behind the scenes.
The R&D project or whatever would definitely involve human experiments. The so-called funding and test environment was Roxxon Corporation providing support via sockpuppets.
Kingpin forked out money as well as found test subjects before killing them once they were no longer useful.
If these experiments were exposed, it would be Kingpin who took responsibility; it would have nothing to do with Roxxon.
To put it simply, this Cybertek Corporation was set up by Roxxon Corporation and many other forces, while Kingpin did the dirty work for this sh.e.l.l company.
In fact, it wasn"t just Kingpin; there were a few other secret organizations at the High Table engaged in similar cooperations.
This "Elder," who was known to be the only person above the High Table, had also cooperated "indirectly" with Roxxon Corporation many times before.
They knew each other"s ident.i.ties on the surface and knew the strength behind them, but they had a tacit understanding and didn"t interfere with each other.
Practically speaking, their previous cooperations gave both parties more channels and "clients," and couldn"t be considered failures.
Thus, the Elder and Roxxon Corporation could be considered "friendly" partners.
However, Roxxon Corporation also had a super trust, with many internal departments that did all sorts of things.
This structure was similar to the relations.h.i.+p between the Elder and the High Table.
Thinking for a moment, the Elder said, "Tell Roxanne to have Kingpin add Bullseye to the exoskeleton experiment, and then have him go and kill the Boogeyman."
The servant: "Yes, Elder."
Pausing for a moment, he asked in a low voice, "What if Kingpin refuses?"
The Elder looked at the servant indifferently. "If he refuses, just kill him. Find someone else who will obey to take that position."
The servant: "Yes, Elder."
