Start in America, and receive three assassins every day.

Not far away, a gunman had already raised his pistol and pulled the trigger, and a bullet was flying rapidly toward Xiaodong's head!

Upon seeing this, the gunman wore a mocking expression. The other party was simply an idiot; what era is this, still using cold weapons!

But what happened next left him stunned.

Xiao Dong's eyes sharpened, and the incoming bullet seemed to move incredibly slowly in his eyes. Then, the arm holding the longsword suddenly rotated, blocking it behind him in a strange posture.

Ding!

A clear, bright sound rang out.

The bullet struck the sword, then veered off course and went elsewhere, avoiding the fatal blow.

The next second, Xiao Dong leaped up and covered three meters in the blink of an eye, thrusting out his long sword.

Seeing this, the gunman raised his gun again, aimed, and was about to pull the trigger again.

But Xiao Dong was faster. With a powerful swing, the incredibly sharp blade cleanly severed the gun barrel and the opponent's five fingers.

"ah--!"

A heart-wrenching scream echoed through the alley.

Then Xiao Dong slit the throat of the opponent with a single sword strike. All of this happened in just a few seconds. After doing this, Xiao Dong shook his longsword to remove the blood droplets on it, and then began to deal with the corpses on the ground.

Xiao Qiu and other assassins also went out to deal with the gunmen sent by the five major families in the vicinity. No one knew that a killing spree was taking place in this quiet and bustling area!

The next morning arrived in the blink of an eye.

As Chen An and Wayne entered the living room, a voice of astonishment reached their ears, "How strange! There hasn't been a sound all night. Haven't the five major families made their move yet?"

Faced with Wayne's doubts, Chen An smiled noncommittally. Xiao Dong had already told him what had happened last night, but he hadn't told Wayne about it.

Otherwise, it would be even more troublesome to deal with. His method is much simpler; you can't even find the body.

"Gentlemen, I need to go to the company today. How are your people being arranged?" Stephen Schwarzman asked as he walked out of the bedroom.

"It's all arranged, Mr. Su, don't worry," Wayne said.

"Okay, see you later then."

With that, Schwarzman stepped outside and got into a modified Cadillac armored vehicle.

On their way to Blackstone Group headquarters, they were closely followed by Cobra and S.H.I.E.L.D. security vehicles.

"Wayne, wanna go shopping?" Chen An invited.

Wayne shook his head. "I'm not going. I need to keep an eye on things here."

"Alright, I'll be going now." Chen An walked out of the apartment. Now that he had money, he hadn't yet experienced the thrill of shopping. Also, his hair was getting a bit long, so he needed to tidy it up.

Since I have nothing else to do, I might as well enjoy the local customs and culture of New York.

After Chen An and the others left, Gordon stepped forward. "Boss, I heard some gunshots last night, but they disappeared quickly. I wonder what happened?"

Wayne frowned. "Gunshots... Could it be the five great families making their move? Have any of your men noticed anything unusual?"

Gordon shook his head. "I've asked around, and everyone says no. Could it be someone from Mr. Chen An's side?"

"Probably not. He didn't tell me, and we've already started deploying drones around the area for 24-hour surveillance. If anyone's going to find him, we'll be the first to do so. All his security personnel are inside the apartment."

"That's probably because a conflict broke out among passersby nearby." Gordon didn't think much of it, gave his explanation, and stood aside again.

On the other side, Cherno was absent-minded, staring at the time on his watch. He had been thinking about it for the past few days and still couldn't understand why he had lost. It seemed that he hadn't trained enough.

He vowed to go and intensify his strength training immediately! He was determined to win back his losses sooner or later!

........

At the Continental Hotel, the door to Qinglong's VIP suite was pushed open, and Jerome walked in from outside, arriving in the living room.

All eyes were on the four people, including Qinglong, sitting on the sofa.

"Azure Dragon, what do you mean? Are you willing to help?" Jerome asked.

Qinglong looked at the other party and said, "We can help you get rid of the five major families, but what will be the reward? Don't even mention a seat in the Gao Zhuo Society; we can get that position ourselves."

Jerome pondered for a moment, then said, "One hundred million US dollars, all the earnings I've accumulated since joining the Continental Hotels Group, plus some news worth over a hundred million. What do you think?"

The four men, Qinglong, had different expressions.

"It seems you harbor quite a grudge against the five great families. This reward is very tempting; we'll accept it!"

Anyway, they were planning to take action against the five major families to make room for Hydra, so taking on a mission in the meantime was just a matter of course.

Jerome's face lit up. "Thank you. By the way, how many of us are there?"

"Including you, there are five people in total." Zhuque, who had long red hair, rarely spoke.

"Just five! Five people from five major families? Are you planning to take on an entire family by yourself? Don't be ridiculous, Suzaku!" Jerome considered himself quite strong, but he didn't have the guts to take down an entire family by himself. If he had that kind of strength, he would have already made his move!

"That's enough for just the five of us," Qinglong said.

Jerome sat down opposite Qinglong, his tone grave. "I know your strength, but the numbers are too disparate. Should we consider cooperating with other top assassins from the Continental Hotel?"

"Jerome, your goal isn't to wipe out everyone in the five great families. Your targets are only the leaders and those in power. You don't need that many people. Besides, I've recently heard that a mysterious force called Hydra has appeared in New York."

"According to reliable intelligence, the Lucesse family of the five major families has already clashed with the other side and suffered heavy losses. The other side will definitely reveal a weakness, so it would be best to take the opportunity to eliminate them."

Jerome heard everything Baihu said. He frowned. "It seems I was overthinking it. You already have a plan. We'll listen to you then."

"Alright, let's get going. Let's go to the armory and make some preparations." The four of them, including Qinglong, got up and walked out of the suite, with Jerome following closely behind.

Not long after, the equipment warehouse of the mainland hotel.

The scene here is no less impressive than a small armory, with a wide variety of individual firearms, melee weapons, and cutting-edge technological weapons, all stored in transparent glass cases.

And Weston, the butler at the Continental Hotel in New York, was standing here.

"Jerome, Azure Dragon, are you going on a mission?" Weston asked.

Jerome nodded. "Yes, open all the weapon cabinets. We need to choose weapons. Here are five silver coins."

After hearing this, Weston smiled faintly, then pressed a switch, and the surrounding weapon cabinets slowly opened, revealing elite individual soldier equipment inside.

Jerome began skillfully selecting his preferred weapons: a Glock 18 automatic pistol and a Glock 17, followed by an HK 416 assault rifle suitable for indoor combat.

Next came various grenades and other ammunition. His eyes inadvertently glanced at the four members of the Azure Dragon Clan, and his expression changed when he saw what they had chosen!
