Two days later, inside the Los Angeles Continental Hotel.
"Good to see you, Hunter!"
"Hello, Cole!"
Hunter, dressed in a casual suit, walked straight to the counter.
Looking at Cole, Hunter didn't beat around the bush.
"Cole, you know I'm a new member of the Continental Hotel."
"So, can you tell me where I can get the information I want?"
"I want to know who was targeting me last night."
Cole raised an eyebrow, but the expression on his face didn't change much.
He was actually quite interested in the handsome Asian Youth before him.
At the very beginning, as the concierge of the Los Angeles Continental Hotel,
Cole only thought Hunter was someone with decent long-range sniping skills, barely qualifying as a potential future star assassin.
However, on the very day this guy joined the Los Angeles Continental Hotel, the hotel encountered some minor trouble.
At that time, they needed an expert with long-range sniping capabilities.
Cole couldn't find anyone else on such short notice.
So, with a 'give it a try' attitude, he invited the handsome Asian Youth before him to give it a shot.
It was precisely that instance that began to change Cole's attitude toward Hunter.
Afterward, according to the data surveyed by the technical team, this handsome Asian Youth had been nearly 1,300 meters away from the target in a straight line.
With one precise shot, he took out the target.
One must realize that even though many high-definition, high-magnification scopes have appeared among modern weaponry accessories,
snipers who can accurately hit a target from more than two or three hundred meters away are not that common.
And those who can accurately assassinate a target with one shot from 800 meters away would be considered top-tier snipers in any national military.
As for a sniper who can accurately assassinate a target from over a thousand meters away,
calling such a person a sharpshooter would not be an exaggeration at all.
Cole had served as the concierge here at the Los Angeles Continental Hotel for five or six years now.
In the past five or six years, he had only encountered one such sharpshooter: Hunter.
And looking at the entire Los Angeles Continental Hotel, before Hunter, there had been only one person capable of accurately assassinating a target from over a kilometer away.
Originally, if Hunter were only that,
Cole might have thought highly of him but wouldn't have dared to give him some very dangerous missions.
After all, the Continental Hotel had plenty of assassins with great combat skills who could take on ten opponents at once.
But top-tier snipers like Hunter, who specialized in long-range sniping, were far too rare.
Such top-tier snipers often produced unexpected results at critical moments.
As it turned out, not long after, Cole was indeed startled by Hunter's 'unexpected result.'
He had actually shot down a US Military helicopter. From the site of the explosion to the distance discovered during the subsequent US Military investigation,
this handsome Asian Youth had not only accurately sniped several US Military special forces soldiers from 1,700 or 1,800 meters away multiple times,
Hunter had even killed the pilot of that crashed US Military helicopter with a single shot from 2,600 or 2,700 meters away.
Because of the terrifying long-range sniping ability and ultra-high precision he displayed, after the Continental Hotel received the intelligence,
Winston, the manager responsible for all Continental Hotels in the US region, personally intervened to coordinate things, preventing Hunter from being placed on the capture lists of the US Military and the CIA.
It was also because of this that Cole gained a new understanding of the terrifying strength of the handsome Asian Youth before him.
However, just when even he began to think
that this handsome Asian Youth's potential and ability were mostly manifested in long-range sniping due to his ultra-long-range assassination capability and ultra-high precision,
Cole received a report early this morning.
Last night, while Hunter was staying overnight at one of his lovers' residences, he was attacked by assassins sent by an unknown force.
In a very short amount of time, he killed twelve assassins single-handedly.
As a result, Cole had to once again update his assessment of this handsome Asian Youth.
"This Asian is simply a natural-born killer!"
"His future achievements will likely even surpass those of John Wick, who is currently in the limelight over at the New York Continental Hotel."
Precisely because his mindset had shifted again, when Cole looked at Hunter,
he not only made no attempt to hide his admiration but also unconsciously showed a few more degrees of goodwill.
After all, this was the future ace of the Los Angeles Continental Hotel.
The reason Winston had been able to become the manager overseeing all Continental Hotels within the US territory a few years ago
was precisely because he had personally discovered a group of top-tier assassins back when he was serving as the concierge of the New York Continental Hotel.
Cole felt that as long as he held onto the handsome Asian Youth before him, he might also be able to get a glimpse of the position of US Manager after Winston retired... Thinking this, he quickly answered Hunter.
"The Continental Hotel can provide you with intelligence consulting services. I can take it upon myself to give you half-price this time."
"Three continental gold coins. Give me a few hours."
Hunter was very sensitive to changes in other people's expressions and attitudes.
He keenly noticed that Cole's attitude toward him had changed once again.
"He seems to admire me more; this should be him proactively extending goodwill to me."
When others were good to him, Hunter naturally wouldn't be ungrateful.
Nodding expressionlessly, he reached into the pocket of his suit.
Using the clothes as cover, Hunter took out three continental gold coins from his private space and placed them on the counter in front of Cole.
Cole only glanced at them briefly to confirm that the three gold coins were indeed minted by the Continental Hotel itself.
He first nodded to Hunter, then picked up a phone behind the counter, dialed a number, and
soon gave instructions to the other end: "Investigate who moved against our Los Angeles Continental Hotel member, Hunter Sun, last night."
Another person's voice soon came from the other side of the phone.
However, despite having keen hearing, Hunter soon discovered that the telephone receiver at Cole's counter had been treated with soundproofing and noise reduction.
Hunter could only vaguely hear someone speaking,
but he couldn't hear clearly what was being said.
However, seeing Cole's slightly furrowed brow, Hunter realized that the force that had raided Slater's home last night—clearly targeting him—might not be simple.
Sure enough, after Cole quickly hung up the phone,
Hunter saw him looking at him, saying with some difficulty, "Hunter, would you consider letting the hotel step in to help you settle this matter?"
"As long as you agree to complete one commission for the hotel for free as before,"
"the hotel will resolve the subsequent trouble for you."
"How about it?"
Looking at Cole's somewhat serious face, Hunter's expression remained calm.
"I want to know who wants my life."
