Chapter 337 - Louis and Gunner (1/2)

But not a second later when the shadow had just made its exit.

Another silhouette of a person quickly followed after that particular shadow like it was chasing after whoever that person was.

But if someone was to observe the city from the skies, then someone with very keen eyes would notice that there's at least a swarm of people converging towards the park in the middle of the city, and every one single one of them seems to be in a hurry like they are trying to catch someone.

At the northern side of the city.

There are currently two silhouettes of two people running through the dark alleyways side by side as they headed towards the direction of the park in the middle of the city.

”Was it true that one of those rat-like bastards from Blood Lions came here in Central?” the shadow on the left said, his voice tinged with bewilderment.

”It's true, Old Song sent it to all of us whose base of operations is around Central City. Apparently, one of those rats tried to assassinate his client tonight but stupidly failed” the shadow on the right couldn't help but laugh when he remembered what Old Song told them about the stupid approached the assassin did..

”Looking at you laughing, that person seems like someone who wasn't a big deal at all. So why are we even heading over there to catch that rat?” said the shadow on the left, where he sounded like he was forced to come with his companion tonight.

”That's not important, the point is that these rat bastards seem to ignore our warnings of never stepping foot in Central City, and they need to be taught a lesson! So we'll capture this bastard tonight and pry the information of their main hideout from him” said the person on the right.

”Ohh finally! I have a vendetta against these bastards!”

And a minute later, both of them slowed down in their steps as they were slowly approaching a busy road on one of the main streets.

”Hey, there ladies! Do-”

”Shut it, focus on the objective right now. You can get laid all you want tonight after this”

The man who looks like a handsome gangster was about to flirt with a group of passing ladies when the guy in a suit on the right of him quickly cut him off.

”Man, you're such a killjoy Louis” the man can only smile at the girls who also smiled back at him, laughing, and then he glared at the man beside him.

Louis just shook his head and started walking forward, and with every step, his pace was increasing and his companion hurriedly caught up to him.

”I'm not being killjoy Gunner, but don't forget that this is our chance to move up in the ranks. I at least want to retire with millions of dollars in my bank account and live peacefully where I don't need to work regular jobs just to get by”

”Besides..”

As one of the people in the lower rung of the Continental. He knows that most people around their rank mostly use the money that was paid to them in buying things to upgrade their gears like weapons and other important things they might need, like paying for information that they needed while on the job.

Leaving them with barely any savings when they retire.

Normal people have the misconception that assassins or hitmen are all secretly rich people with amazing houses, nice cars, and guns hidden in the walls of their houses or something because of the movies that they had watched.

But that's not also a complete lie, but that only applies to those in ranks of where Michael and the others are.

As someone who had started from the bottom rank called Grassroot and reached the rank of Four-leaf Clover in his mid-thirties.

He wasn't satisfied with it.

The lower ranks literally had hundreds of them, or maybe in the thousands!

Most of them are gangsters, former mercenaries, or currently mercenaries, and there's also those soldiers who left the system and became hitmen for money.

Louis didn't want to be only a mere Four-leaf before he decided to retire, but most of all, for revenge!

Revenge!

That particular word is the only thing that's keeping him going in life!
