Start in America, and receive three assassins every day.
Chapter 289 Blackstone Group
"Once they appear, they are highly sought after. However, this security mission is very special, and not many people dare to take it on. Even our Cobra Security Company is not entirely confident in completing it."
Hearing Wayne's words, Chen An became increasingly curious.
"Chen An, have you heard of the five great families of New York?" Wayne asked.
Upon hearing this, Chen An's expression shifted. "New York? You'll take on security missions that far away? Aren't you from Los Angeles?!"
After listening, Wayne explained, "A friend of mine introduced me to him. It would be better if he were from Los Angeles, as he'd be familiar with the connections and environment here. It's precisely because I'm not familiar with it that I'm not confident!"
"Of course I've heard of the Five Families. They seem to be the five major families of the New York underworld. Could they be the ones we're protecting?" Chen An asked.
Wayne shook his head. "No, the person who issued the mission is the CEO of a famous listed company, worth billions. However, he recently offended the five major families, and there are rumors that he is preparing to take action."
"It's said that they've tried several times, but without success. However, it scared the boss so much that he spent a lot of money to hire a famous security company. So the task fell to me. I was originally considering whether to take the risk and accept it."
"But seeing you at the banquet today gave me a sense of hope."
Chen An's expression shifted. If Wayne knew that the security personnel and the Black Hawk helicopter that were lost recently were his doing, he would be furious.
The other party is no longer cooperating with him; they probably want to kill him!
So Chen An smiled and looked at the other person, "Are you so sure that my involvement will be effective?"
Wayne said, "It's my intuition, and I've investigated all the missions your SHIELD security company has taken on during this period, including the security mission for Brandon's daughter, which our company was involved in from the beginning. That mission was very tricky."
"But you all resolved it very quickly, which is enough to demonstrate your capabilities."
After listening, Chen An asked, "Then tell me, what about the payment and the time?"
"A reward of one hundred million US dollars!" Wayne said.
"How much...how much?!" Chen An's face showed a rare look of surprise. You know, the most expensive job that S.H.I.E.L.D. security company has ever taken on was Director Brandon's job.
Other missions only pay a few hundred thousand US dollars, at most a million, but this one is worth a hundred million. No wonder Wayne would take the risk to accept this mission.
Simply because the pay was so generous!
"Yes, you heard me right, it's a hundred million US dollars. That's why I said these large-scale missions are so sought after." Wayne smiled, but then changed the subject, "However, there are some requirements for the missions."
"Please speak," Chen An gestured. He had already decided to participate in this mission. After all, given the current capabilities of the assassins, there was no mission that could stump them. Why would they refuse free money?
"That boss has a request: he needs us to find the person from the five major families who wants him dead and bring them to him. This is what I find tricky, since we are a security company and doing this could get us into a lot of trouble."
Listening to Wayne's request, Chen An smiled calmly, "So that's what the request is. It's quite simple."
"Chen An, this could offend the five great families!" Wayne felt that Chen An didn't seem to understand the five great families' dominance in New York.
"What's the big deal? We're in Los Angeles, New York isn't under our jurisdiction. As long as we can ensure the mission is completed, that's all that matters." Chen An had an expression as if he did this all the time.
Seeing this, Wayne narrowed his eyes slightly. "Chen An, besides your security company, do you have other side businesses, like being an assassin or hiring mercenaries?"
"Hey! Don't talk nonsense, or I'll sue you for defamation. I never do that kind of thing," Chen An said.
"Alright, then get ready. Come with me to New York to meet that boss, and I'll take that as a confirmation that you're willing to take on this job." Wayne said, looking at the other person and waiting for a reply.
Chen An raised his glass and smiled, "Of course, it's a pleasure to cooperate."
"It's a pleasure working with you." Wayne leaned forward slightly, and the two clinked glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
"Oh right, I haven't introduced him to you yet. This guy next to me is one of our security company's top five-star security guards, Gordon. Don't let his age fool you, he's incredibly skilled. He can take down three big men with his bare hands in no time. His marksmanship and agility are also top-notch. Plus, he's been pretty lucky, surviving since World War II."
Upon hearing this, Chen An looked surprised and turned to Gordon, "Hello, judging from what Wayne said, you're quite a talent."
Gordon replied modestly, "Not at all, I'm just older, so I've learned more, learned more lessons, and have more practical experience. And it seems Mr. Chen also knows a bit of martial arts?"
Chen An laughed and said, "I don't know any kung fu. I just learned 'a little' from the bodyguards at our company. After all, what boss is going to be fighting and killing?"
"Really? Then perhaps I misread it." Gordon didn't say anything more after hearing that.
Soon, the vehicle arrived at the Cobra Security Company building. Wayne and Gordon stepped out of the car, turned to Chen An, and said, "Then call them, and I'll have the driver take you home."
"Okay." Chen An nodded.
The convoy then continued its journey towards the Ralph neighborhood.
After the car had driven away, Gordon asked, "Boss, there's something wrong with this Chen An."
Wayne's expression was extremely calm at this moment. "There are some problems, but they are also very capable. Based on what Colonel Vincent said, it is not difficult to see that in addition to the security company, the other party is also involved in other industries. Anyone who knows arms dealers must be a law-abiding person."
"Wouldn't there be risks if we cooperated with him?" Gordon asked.
Wayne shook his head. "I don't know, but they are the most suitable partner we can find right now. Let's observe them further."
.........
At this time.
Chen An returned home, turned around and went straight into the bedroom, where he sat on the bed and fell into deep thought.
Of the five major families, he had only come into contact with the Gambino family, and even had a minor conflict with them. He knew nothing about the other four families.
So he immediately contacted Hank and asked him to investigate.
Then Chen An picked up his computer and searched for information about that boss on his own. Soon, the information that the boss had publicly registered appeared on the computer screen.
Stephen Schwarzman, CEO of Blackstone Group, has a net worth of approximately $518 billion!
[His business empire spans global real estate, hotels, military, energy, infrastructure, and cross-border mergers and acquisitions; he's also a powerful figure on Wall Street! His network is extensive, and he reportedly has close ties with the sixth president.]
Looking at only the first half of the information,
Chen An felt that the five major families were courting death, daring to attack such a person. Were they just throwing caution to the wind?!
