Living in North America, working from 9 to 5

Chapter 141 Organization Supreme Committee
Roy took out a pair of needle-nosed pliers from the toolbox, pried open No. 89's mouth, found two porcelain teeth in his mouth, and pulled them out with force.

One contains cyanide and one contains a locator.

Roy began a quick body search and found eight daggers, three blades, and a universal handcuff key on No. 89, but no gun.

"adhesive tape!"

Selina threw the reinforced tape to Roy, who took it and began to wrap it around No. 89's hands and feet and tied them together.

"What do you mean when you said he could be ranked in the top 20? Doesn't the organization rank agents based on their strength?" Roy asked.

Selina replied, "No, it's not the case that the higher the ranking, the stronger the strength. Senior agents with code names have clear division of labor and do different jobs. Some are responsible for assassinations, and some are responsible for technology. Irina is responsible for external affairs of the organization and holding the organization's assets on behalf of others."

Roy nodded: "I see..."

Selina continued, "Also, the smaller the code name, the more say one has within the organization, and the higher the position one holds. The Supreme Committee is composed of nine people, numbers 9 to 1."

Standing up and kicking the unconscious No. 89, Roy asked, "How many senior agents with code names are there in the organization?"

"The highest number currently is 99..."

Roy thought: Then I will call myself 404...

Taking out his cell phone, Roy called Irina directly.

After five rings, Irina answered.

Roy spoke directly: "Agents of the organization broke into my house. It seems that they are coming for Serena, who appeared at No. 89 at the charity dinner."

"What!" Irina on the other end of the phone stood up suddenly: "Are you saying that No. 89 went to your house?"

"Yes!"

"Are you and Serena okay?"

"Don't worry, no one can kill me. As long as I'm with Serena, no one can kill her either."

"How is No. 89 now? Did you kill him?"

"No, I knocked him out. He is lying in front of me now, with his hands and feet tied up by me."

"Listen to me, you don't have to stay at home now, take number 89, I will send you the address and we will meet there."

"Ok!"

The call ended and Roy received a text message.

Roy placed an oversized suitcase flat on the ground. He picked up the skinny No. 89, twisted his body, and stuffed him in.

After locking the suitcase, Roy threw a Glock and two spare magazines to Selina, and took a Glock and two magazines for himself.

The two nodded to each other and left the apartment with their suitcases.

Taking the elevator to the underground parking garage, Roy went out to check the surroundings first. Not finding anything unusual, he then hooked his finger at Selena.

Serena pushed the suitcase out of the elevator.

Roy drove the Ford SUV over, folded the back seats flat, stuffed the suitcase into the car, then drove out of Lance's apartment and headed straight for the address in the text message.

On the way, Roy threw the tooth containing the locator into the trunk of a pickup truck that was waiting at the red light next door.

After repeatedly confirming that no one was following them, they drove quickly to the designated location. The road conditions were good in the second half of the night, and it only took Roy and Selena half an hour to arrive at the agreed location in Queens.

In front of a villa, Irina came forward and asked, "How is it? No one is following you, right?"

Roy shook his head: "No!"

Irina asked, "Where is he?"

Roy went around to the back of the car and opened the trunk. An extra-large suitcase appeared in Irina's sight.

"follow me!"

After lifting the suitcase out of the car, Roy followed Irina into the villa, pulling the suitcase. After observing the surrounding situation for a while, Selena also followed into the villa.

Entering the basement, Roy was shocked by the scene in front of him. In the basement of this ordinary-looking villa, there was such a huge dark room with a sense of technology.

"This is my safe house for Serena and me."

Roy nodded slightly.

Selina kicked the suitcase over, opened the lock, and lifted the lid of the suitcase. No. 89, who was tied up tightly with tape, appeared in front of the three people.

At this moment, No. 89 has woken up. He is lying in the suitcase, mumbling something.

Serena ripped off the tape.

Irina looked at No. 89 in the suitcase with cold eyes and asked, "89, who sent you to kill Selina?"

"17, just kill me."

Irina squatted in front of the suitcase and looked at No. 89's thin and withered face. "You know the rules of the organization. You are definitely going to die. Think about your family. According to the information the organization has, there are 37 people related to you in the United States. Among them, 8 are elderly people and 12 are children. You have to think about them. I will send people to kill them all..."

After taking two deep breaths, No. 89 murmured, "If I tell them, they will die too."

Irina smiled slightly and said coldly: "If you say it, they may not die, but if you don't say it, they will definitely die."

"I……"

"Tell me, I promise you, I will catch him before he sends people to kill your relatives. You should understand what I mean, right?" Irina stared at No. 89's eyes with cold eyes.

"17, if I tell you another secret, can you swear to keep my family safe?" No. 89 also stared into Irina's eyes.

Irina narrowed her eyes slightly: "You still have secrets? Sure, as long as your secret is valuable, I can swear to you."

"The person who assigned me was number 3."

Irina sneered: "I guessed it." "I want you to swear to God first!"

"Do you have room to bargain with me? I said that as long as the information you provide is valuable, I will swear to protect your family."

Taking a deep breath, No. 89 murmured, "Okay, I tell you, my target is not only No. 18, but also him."

No. 89 turned his attention to Roy.

Irina smiled calmly: "I guessed this, but don't worry, your family is safe. Come back to the organization with me. I will take you to the Supreme Committee."

Standing up, Irina looked at Roy and Selina and said, "Roy, you stay in this safe house for the time being. It's relatively safe here. I want to take Selina and No. 89 back to the organization."

After a little thought, Roy nodded in agreement.

After helping Irina load the suitcase containing No. 89 into the Lincoln Navigator she drove, Roy watched Irina and Selina leave.

Returning to the safe house, Roy recalled No. 89's words and began to think quietly, with many more questions in his mind.

Why did No. 3 want to kill himself?

Isn’t the organization also a monolithic entity?
Eight hours later…

In a huge circular stone dark room with an ancient atmosphere, nine stone chairs were placed in an arc shape on the stone wall at the back, surrounding Irina in the center. A beam of light shone on her, and the nine chairs were all in the dark.

Irina was facing position 1, but that position was empty.

"17, you used the authority of Executive Level 10 to summon the Supreme Council to a meeting. Did something big happen?" No. 2 spoke first.

"A traitor has appeared in the Supreme Council!"

When these words were spoken, all eight members of the Supreme Committee showed shocked expressions.

Number 2 said, "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Irina: “Of course I know what I’m talking about.”

No. 2: "Tell me who the traitor is and show me your evidence!"

Irina looked around the eight stone chairs and finally fixed her eyes on No. 8: "The traitor of the Supreme Council is No. 3."

No. 3 said coldly: "17, do you know what you are talking about?"

The remaining seven people all turned their eyes to No. 7.

Number 2 spoke up: "Three, let her continue!"

No. 3 took a deep breath in the darkness, his eyes fixed on Irina who was standing under the beam of light.

Irina told the story about the misunderstanding of the wanted warrant a few days ago.

No. 2 said, "Are you saying that someone bypassed the organization system and sent an assassination mission directly to No. 18, and concealed the target's real name?"

Irina said, "Yes, the one who ordered the assassination mission to No. 18 was No. 3. No. 18 failed in his mission, so in order to cover up his tracks, No. 3 assigned No. 89 to assassinate No. 18. At the same time, he also ordered No. 89 to assassinate the organization's level 10 target, which was Roy von Weizsäcker."

No. 3 angrily rebuked: "You are making a false accusation, 17. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are the only person who carries out the level 10 mission in the organization."

"I have evidence!" Holding a document in front of her, Irina continued, "This is the organization system mission log. The name of the mission target entered by No. 47 is correct, and the name of the mission target conveyed by No. 3 to No. 18 has been modified. No. 18 is outside now and can come in to testify at any time."

No. 3's heart was shaken.

Number 2 looked at Number 3: "Is what she said true?"

No. 3 argued: "Of course not!"

Irina sneered, "Number 89 is also outside."

No. 3 had a gloomy face and was thinking about how to respond.

Irina continued:
"Supreme Council, Jacob von Weizsäcker is Roy von Weizsäcker's father. You are well aware of how important he is to the organization's sole authority to execute Authority 10."

"Now, Jacob is dead. If Roy dies again, the organization will never get Jacob's gift. Roy's survival is the only hope for the organization. Although this hope is slim, it is still hope."

"Everyone on the Supreme Council knows this secret. You all know how important Roy is. So, he is number 3..."

No. 2: "No. 18 and No. 89 come in!"

The huge stone door slowly opened, and the figures of No. 18 and No. 89 appeared at the opening of the stone door, and two beams of light shone on them at the same time.

"No need, I did it!" No. 3 admitted directly.

Upon hearing this, the other senior members of the committee were in an uproar.

No. 2 waved his hand, the stone door closed, and No. 18 and No. 89 were locked outside.

Number 2 asked, "Number 3, why?"

No. 3 sneered:

"Jacob's gift is certainly important, but we are not the only ones looking for it. The CIA, Mossad, KGB, MI6, and the mysterious organization called New Hope are also involved."

"If we fall into their hands, the consequences will be disastrous. You are all too stubborn. I don't want to convince you. I am loyal to the organization. I have not betrayed it."

"Enough!!!" No. 2 scolded.

No. 3 continued, "Jacob's gift is a double-edged sword. You all know it. It is very tempting, but also extremely dangerous. Isn't No. 1..."

"you shut up!!"
