Chapter 583 [This $500,000,000 order is going to take a top ten spot on the Dark Net.
(The person who issued it is very mysterious. Thereâs no trace of him online. I can only speculate that heâs a Cairnstanian soldier.
(But he claimed that he would pay the $500,000,000 after we help him with this order.
[In our industry, we always work after we receive payment. Heâs clearly violating the rules. I think we better not take this task.
[Sure, $500,000,000 is very attractive, but what if weâre being fooled?]
Alden pursed his lips and contemplated for less than a second after he read the long list of messages, which K had sent continuously.
He tapped away speedily on his keyboard. (Whatâs his mission?]
K replied, [Iâll ask him.]
One minute laterâ¦
[What the heck?! Sir Daugherty, we better not accept this mission! This Cairnstanian soldier takes himself very seriously. He wants to kill Auguste! He wants us to assist him in hacking the surveillance system in Augusteâs manor and creating chaos on the web for the Auguste family. He wants to kill Auguste alone. Donât you think heâs mad?]
You would not find anyone on the Dark Net who did not know Auguste.
He was the leader of an illegal organization in an unregulated territory overseas. After he developed it for about eight years, his illegal organization now had thousands of followers, and he had carved out a path to claim his throne.
Businessmen and politicians who passed by his territory would need to pay a toll.
âA tollâ was putting it nicely. In reality, it was blackmail and kidnapping. If they could not pay, they would die. Countless people had died in his territory.
The organization committed crimes everywhere, so regular people dared not step into the region.
International organizations did not want to get involved with this mess, so they turned a blind eye to it, which caused this illegal organization to grow increasingly vicious.
It was Aldenâs first time hearing that someone wanted to kill Auguste.
Alden said, (Tell him that weâll accept the task.]
(What⦠Do you even know who Auguste is?] K responded.
Alden replied, [1 know. So, even if this person doesnât pay us the commission, Iâll still help him because Iâm also a Cairnstanian.]
K then said, (Is this what the soâcalled Cairnstanian brotherhood is? Okay, since you want to accept it, Iâll have to do it with you!
Three minutes later, K sent Alden another message.
[Everything has been finalized. Heâll arrive at Augusteâs manor in three hours.)
Alden nodded.
It would be 12:00 am in three hoursâ time.
It was best for him to start his mission after everyone at home fell asleep.
Right then, it was daytime in Europe.
A man with exquisite features and a profound gaze ruthlessly threw a cup of coffee on the floor.
âDidnât I ask you to watch him closely? How could he run away?â
A bodyguard in a black suit trembled as he knelt on the floor.â He was in the unregulated territory, so our people couldnât pursue him. Besides, even if weâre allowed to enter the region, we wouldnât be able to come out. I thought he would be trapped there for the rest of his life. Who would have expected that he would kill the leader? He even stole two submachine guns. Heâs so skilled at martial arts that our people lost him halfway.â
The manâs eyes were filled with disdain.
Initially, he had only wanted to ruin Dukeâs face to prevent him from returning.
Unexpectedly, the wounded man managed to escape those vicious combatants.
If Duke rushed back to Sea City, then everything he had carefully planned would be ruined.
âGuard every exit at the border. Capture him alive as soon as heâs spotted!â âYes, Sir!â
