Standalone Tokyo

Chapter 257 The So-called Killer

One morning, a man in casual clothes and carrying a backpack walked into the lobby of the Red Heart J Hotel and came to the front desk.

"Hello, I'm here to check in."

"Sir, do you have an appointment?"

"Have."

"Please provide your reservation number and ID..."

The man, who was neither handsome nor ugly, but just an ordinary, featureless man, silently took out his ID and handed it to the front desk.

The registration was completed in a short time. The receptionist stood up with a professional smile and handed the certificate back with both hands.

"Hello, Mr. Sankono Kouta, your registration is complete. Here is your room number, please take it."

Sankouno Kouta took the documents and walked towards the elevator with his backpack.

In front of the elevator, two security guards armed with metal detectors and an inspection door most commonly seen in airports were waiting for Kouta Sankono.

There was no need to unpack the luggage. Within a minute, the two security guards completed the inspection of Sanjiao Ye Kangta and his backpack. After ensuring that the latter did not carry any flammable, explosive or large metal objects, they let him enter the elevator.

Such an inspection was extremely harsh. If Sanjiao Yasuta was an ordinary person, he would probably have thought of turning around and leaving the room.

However, Sankouno Kouta is not an ordinary person. He comes to stay at Red Jack with a mission.

When he arrived at the room on the tenth floor of the hotel, Sankouno Kouta threw his backpack to the ground. After looking at his watch, he fell directly on the bed without even taking off or changing his clothes and closed his eyes to rest.

It's not time for the mission yet, he needs to wait patiently.

Kouta Sankono is a killer who has completed twenty-one missions and remains unknown.

Where there is demand, there will be supply. Japan is a peaceful country...at least on the surface it remains peaceful and there is no major chaos.

Therefore, all killer gangs active in the dark world of Japan have to face a contradiction: if they want to get orders, they have to be famous, but fame will easily attract the attention of official law enforcement officers.

The team behind Sankouno Kouta came up with a solution, that is, the team became famous, and Sankouno Kouta, as a killer, hid his identity and remained unknown to avoid being wanted by the authorities.

This method is still relatively successful so far. Sankouno Yasutaka has carried out twenty-one missions and has not failed so far, and he is not on the wanted list.

Today at the Red Heart J Hotel, Kouta Sankouno's mission target is a beautiful young woman with a strong background. Her name is Uehara Rui.

She was a very beautiful woman, but she still had to die in her own hands today because the money given by the sponsor was too much.

According to the investigation of the killer gang behind Sanjiao Ye Kangtai, there are many lone wolves and killer teams who received business orders, but most of them gave up the mission after initially understanding the location of the target.

There are two main reasons for giving up. First, there is a poker organization behind the Red Heart J Hotel, an organization that has only appeared in Japan in the last two years, but is crazy, highly motivated, and will never let go of a grudge.

The second reason is that the security of the Red Heart J Hotel is very strict, and the team behind Sankouno Kouta has no confidence that they can send any hot weapons in.

Even so, Sankouno Kouta's team still took on the task.

There are two reasons for accepting the task.

First, the sponsor gave a lot of compensation. After the mission was completed, it was enough for Sanjiao Ye Kangta and other partners to disband the team and return to their hometown to retire. Therefore, they were not afraid of the revenge of the poker organization.

We all went back to our hometowns to farm. When ordinary people no longer hang out in the dark world, no matter how good you are at playing poker, you will never be able to find us.

The second reason is that Sankouno Kouta is very skilled. Even without using hot weapons, he is confident that as long as he gets close to the target, he can kill her and her bodyguards, and then escape from the hotel.

As a person who has carried out twenty-one missions without failure, Sanjiao Ye Yasutaka feels that he is a top killer. Although the current mission is a bit difficult, it is not difficult for him.

After resting his eyes for three hours, Sankouno Kouta opened his eyes at exactly eleven o'clock, jumped out of bed, and started rummaging through his backpack.

After folding the straps of his backpack a few times, Sankouno Kouta took out two daggers made of special plastic. He tied them around his arms, fitting them against his skin, and put on long-sleeved clothes to cover them, so that there was no flaw from the outside.

After rechecking the makeup on his face and the ultra-thin finger gloves on his hands to make sure they were intact and would not expose his true appearance and fingerprints, Sankouno Kouta leisurely left the room and walked towards the elevator.

According to the team's observations over a week, the target would go to the hotel's western restaurant to eat at around 11:30 every day, then go to the cafe to drink coffee in the afternoon and use his mobile phone to contact the outside world.

Sankono Kouta decided to go to a western restaurant to wait for an opportunity and solve his lunch problem. He ordered a steak in the western restaurant. The food in the Red Heart J Hotel Restaurant is very expensive, and this steak, which was written on the menu as made of top-grade Wagyu beef, was even more unique. Sankono Kouta felt a pain in his flesh when he saw it.

However, for the sake of the mission, Sankouno Kouta still chose to order this extremely expensive steak, only because there was only one steak to choose from in this western restaurant, and only when ordering steak would the restaurant staff automatically bring you a western knife.

Sankono Kouta needs a Western knife because he is good at throwing knives to kill people.

After waiting for twenty minutes, the steak was brought by a waitress, steaming hot and fragrant. Sanjiao Ye Kangta's appetite increased at just one look at it.

However, just as he picked up the knife and fork to eat, the target of the mission appeared followed by two bodyguards, and chose a location near the exit, only five meters away from Sankouno Kouta.

This is within his attack range.

Sanjiao Ye Yasutaka sighed helplessly. He looked up and around. Except for a waitress standing by the side with a metal tray in her hand, there were only the target of the mission with his back to him and two bodyguards. There were no other guests at the scene.

Although he was a little unhappy, Sankouno Yasutaka was sure that now was the best time to take action.

He sighed again, stood up, and swung the Western knife at the target's beautiful, slender neck.

"clang……"

Sankouno Kouta's eyes widened because the knife he threw out with great determination was blocked by a metal tray. The Western knife pierced through the tray and got stuck on it.

what happened?

Sankouno Kouta moved his gaze and looked at the waitress standing next to the table, who had a blank expression on her face.

At this moment, she was wearing a suit vest and holding a tray in one hand, with the other hand on her waist. A pistol appeared in her hand at some point, and the muzzle was pointing at Sankouno Kouta.

"Nani!?"

"boom!"

Hearing a gunshot behind her, Uehara Ryu picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then showed disdain.

"Another idiot looking for death."

……

"That top killer who claims to never fail also failed?"

In the interrogation room of the Metropolitan Police Department, Kazuto Uehara, who was enjoying the air conditioning and internet service, was listening to the reports from his direct subordinates on his mobile phone.

"What a waste."

Kazuto Uehara knew that the security service of the Red Heart J Hotel was very good, but he did not expect that after he sent five guys known as Japan's top killers into the hotel, none of them succeeded.

Someone tried to kill the target from a long distance, but he set up a sniper rifle on the top floor of a nearby high-rise building and lay there for three days and three nights without finding a chance to kill.

Someone tried to bring in a pistol, but the security guard found the hot weapon and arrested him on the spot.

There were also people who sneaked in, but they entered in the morning and lost contact with them at noon, so it was obvious that they were gone.

At this point, Uehara Kazuto no longer expected the assassination to succeed.

Originally, Uehara Kazuto did not really want to kill his niece. He originally hired the mercenaries just to capture her and then bring her back to Uehara Manor to imprison her.

However, the situation has developed step by step to the point where he has no way to retreat and no other choice.

From the moment he hired the killer, Uehara Rui and he were destined to live alone in this world.

For the sake of rights and safety, Uehara Ryue must die.

On the contrary, after Uehara Rui successfully became the head of the family, she would never let go of her uncle who killed her.

Since the face has been torn, there is no value in following the rules.

"If the assassins don't work, then notify the commandos at sea and have them take action tonight."
