Chapter 40 Stepping Stone

Winston's face was gloomy. He had been in the Continental Hotel in New York for more than 40 years, and this was the first time he encountered such a situation.

However, he did not allow the other party's provocation, but the question was, would the other party really come?

"Notify Santino and ask him to come here and prepare manpower. The Continental Hotel does not allow provocation." Winston said, picked up the phone, and then dialed it. He called old Antonio.

"Mr. Antonio, your son has issued a bounty at the Continental Hotel in New York. The other party came to the door and threatened to attack here tonight. Do you know who the other party is?"

"..."Old Antonio did not know about his son's affairs. He had a terminal illness and would soon die.

Sloan, who had met in Las Vegas before, was the leader of the Assassin's League. The other party's Assassin's League had a long history of thousands of years, and they had no conflicts with each other before.

However, the code of conduct of the Assassin's League changed a few years ago, and there was friction between the two sides, but the assassins of the Assassin's League were more powerful than the killers of the Continental Hotel, that is, they had too few people.

The negotiation between the two sides was mainly to prevent the Assassin's League from entering Italy, after all, that was the family's base camp.

Both sides lost at the gambling table, so it was a draw.

"I didn't know about this matter, so Lin is a professional gambler, but he actually said so now, it seems not simple." Old Antonio said: "You can go all out, if you need the help of the Council, then I can help."

"I don't need help here for the time being, but I want Santino to come over at night." Winston said.

"Okay, since he provoked it, then I will let him go." Old Antonio hung up the phone.

...

Link drove back home, then opened his small arsenal, then frowned, and then closed it again.

He turned around and left home again, drove to the industrial area, found a small processing plant, and asked them to make a throwing knife for him.

This time it was an indoor battle, and it didn't necessarily require firearms. He took 50,000 US dollars to the boss and asked them to start making throwing knives with all their strength now. Link made it according to the style of willow leaf throwing knives.

With his own strength, it is enough to shoot through any bulletproof suit.

He didn't plan to use his own weapons. After all, his weapons were all from SHIELD. This time, SHIELD's support was not needed. It was just the Continental Hotel in New York.

And he also wanted to have some characteristics. After all, Hawkeye, Black Widow and even Iron Knight were all code names he had typed out, so he had to type out one himself.

He called Jessica and asked her to go to Tracy's house at night, and then hung up the phone without explaining.

Jessica must be worried, but she would be more worried if he explained it now. Link also understood that he couldn't always appear too weak and low-key.

It was good for the casino to ask him to participate in the game, but the guests didn't follow the rules, and the casino also looked at the people and served them.

Most people wouldn't do this, and this Santino was obviously too arrogant.

Link combined the Continental Hotel and also thought of this guy, who was a villain in "John Wick".

This guy had no moral bottom line. In order to get a seat at the high table, he hired a killer to kill his own sister, and then offered a reward for the killer's life, calling it revenge for his sister.

On the road of not doing anything, he has been going further and further away. He lost the card game and asked for a killer?

He didn't care about the money, but his face. He felt that Link made him lose face, which was not uncommon for him.

And Link could easily guess that it was him. Now he was given a chance. In S.H.I.E.L.D., he was not a core member for the time being. Nick Fury might be interested in training him, but he still lacked a record.

Then he would use the Continental Hotel in New York as his stepping stone.

…

It was not until ten o'clock in the evening that Link stopped the factory and checked it. There were hundreds of willow leaf throwing knives.

The processing capacity of the small factory was not strong, and they did not have a mold. For this reason, they first made a mold and then started to work. Fifty thousand US dollars was worth their one-day stoppage to serve Link.

Link left with his things. He was wearing a pair of jeans, Martin boots, and a black cotton T-shirt.

He tied a sports waist bag around his waist, put all the scimitars in it, and drove to the Continental Hotel, arriving an hour early.

He stopped far away, got out of the car and leaned against it, then took out a cigar and a bottle of bourbon, put the wine on the hood, and then carefully handled the cigar.

For an hour, he planned to slowly enjoy a cigar and a bottle of bourbon.

In the hotel, Winston was drinking tea in the terrace garden, and there were dozens of killers sitting or standing in the lobby on the first floor, and there were killers in each room.

Winston did not use the power of the hotel this time, but summoned a large number of killers here, and the reward of 300,000 US dollars was not a small amount.

And Santino Antonio was also in the terrace garden. He didn't think it was a big deal at this time. He didn't believe that the arrogant guy could come here. If it weren't for his father's order, he wouldn't come here.

"Winston, you are too cautious. Do you really think that person can kill here?" Santino asked.

"No, I don't think so, but he was the first guy to provoke the Continental Hotel." Winston said, "So we must take it seriously and make him pay the price to warn those who come later."

Winston didn't tell the truth. He actually thought there were two possibilities. One was that Link was killed to warn others.

The other possibility was that Link really came here, and then he was ready to hand over Santino. As for the future, it would take the high table to solve it.

He didn't intend to use his own power. There were also people from Santino outside, guarding the entrance to the terrace garden.

Link looked at the time. There were still five minutes to zero, and he couldn't be late.

He picked up the bottle and drank it in one breath, then walked over slowly with a cigar, and at the same time reached his hands into his waist bag and took out a throwing knife from it.

He came to the door and looked at the time. It was a few seconds late, so he just stepped into the door directly.

The moment he entered, the assassins in the lobby looked over. Link bit his cigar and smiled, "Hi..."

"..."Everyone moved and began to draw their guns. They did not leave their weapons outside.

"Swish..." Link raised his hands and the flying knife in his hand flew out directly, "Puff, puff..."
