Cole frowned, looking at the expressionless Hunter.
He didn't know what this handsome Asian Youth was thinking, but this time he was indeed in trouble.
Moreover, this trouble would not be much smaller than the last time he was targeted by the US Military and the CIA.
However, Hunter had, after all, spent 'money' to buy information from Cole.
Seeing his determined attitude, Cole only gave a soft sigh.
He then answered him, "The people targeting you this time are from Hicks Consulting Company."
"The name Hicks Consulting Company is very misleading, but I can tell you clearly that it is an Assassin Organization with decent strength."
"Because it has some cooperation with the US Department of Defense and the CIA,"
"so, if our Continental Hotel does not step in..."
"With your own strength, it's very difficult to deal with them."
Hunter frowned. He looked at Cole and said, "Didn't the Continental Hotel settle the last matter for me?"
Upon hearing that Hicks Consulting Company cooperates with the US Department of Defense and the CIA...
The first thing Hunter thought of was that the incident where he took down that US Military helicopter at the Arizona-Mexico border a month ago hadn't been fully resolved yet.
Cole shook his head and said, "It's unrelated to that matter."
"The other party contacted us proactively last night, telling us that you killed one of their ace assassins."
"And according to the news gathered by our intelligence personnel, it can basically be confirmed as true."
"The assassin you killed is said to be named John Smith."
"So, they are using this excuse to deal with you. Even if we suspect the shadow of the Department of Defense and the CIA behind this operation against you, it doesn't violate certain understandings we've reached before."
Hunter suddenly understood!
He didn't expect that a bullet he fired more than a month ago would circle back and land on him again.
"It was actually him!"
Hunter, of course, knew John Smith, the male protagonist of the mr. & mrs. smith plot!
More than a month ago, he received an invitation from the Female Assassin Perkins to go with her to Arizona. In a small Gobi town on the US-Mexico Border, they ambushed an Arms Dealer with a US Department of Defense background who was protected by a team of US Military special forces!
It was precisely then that Hunter offended the US Department of Defense!
In an instant, countless thoughts surfaced in his mind!
Hunter quickly figured it out; he knew that Westerners remember the beatings but not the kindness!
As long as he dared to make one concession, they would keep pushing their luck and closing in step by step!
What happened last night was a good proof of that.
Saying they wanted to avenge their ace assassin was nothing more than an excuse.
Hunter didn't believe for a second that there wasn't the shadow of the US Department of Defense or the CIA behind this!
"Good, very good! So you all think Hunter is a soft target, huh!"
Hunter felt a secret resentment; he was truly angry this time!
If they had only acted against him, perhaps Hunter would have backed down and let it all pass!
But this time, the other party directly made a move at the home of a lover where he was staying!
This action had already touched Hunter's bottom line!
Therefore, he had to fight back!
Immediately, Hunter stared at Cole and asked, "I want the information on all the high-level executives of Hicks Consulting Company. How many continental gold coins do I need?"
Cole was startled. His expression toward Hunter became more serious, and even his voice changed!
"Are you serious, Hunter?"
Hunter didn't say anything more. He just reached into his suit pocket and pulled out one continental gold coin after another, placing them on the counter in front of Cole!
That small pile of continental gold coins amounted to twenty-six, which was all the continental gold coins Hunter had on him!
Since his failed attempt to find Mia and his return to the US, he hadn't stopped taking commissions from the Continental Hotel!
By last night, the continental gold coins in Hunter's hands were approaching forty!
If sold at the price of five hundred thousand us dollars per coin offered by some outside forces, the total value of these continental gold coins would be close to twenty million us dollars!
Cole naturally knew the value of the continental gold coins in front of him. Although he was the concierge of the Los Angeles Continental Hotel, his income might not necessarily compare to those assassins!
He stared with a bit of greed at the continental gold coins Hunter had placed on the counter. After looking a few more times...
Cole stared at Hunter, who replied coldly, "I hate it when people move against my women. Once I find out, it's a fight to the death!"
Cole was taken aback. He could hear that Hunter was angry and realized that Hicks Consulting Company's actions this time had indeed slapped the Continental Hotel in the face!
Therefore, Hunter's stubbornness was also due to his dissatisfaction with the Continental Hotel!
So after a moment of silence, Cole took four continental gold coins from the counter!
"Fine, still within the scope of my authority, this time I will only charge you half the continental gold coins!"
"Go back for now. I guarantee that within twenty-four hours, I will send you what you want!"
Hunter looked at Cole calmly for a while and finally nodded!
He took back the continental gold coins from the counter and put them back into his pocket, but in reality, he put them back into his private space!
"Then I'll be waiting for the hotel's intelligence, Cole!"
After saying that, Hunter turned to leave.
However, he didn't leave the premises but instead walked toward the elevator of the Los Angeles Continental Hotel!
He believed that a fierce battle would inevitably break out soon!
Therefore, Hunter planned to purchase more firearms and weapons, especially some explosives and special bullets!
Watching Hunter open the elevator and disappear inside!
Cole thought for a moment and quickly dialed a phone number!
The phone rang a few times before being picked up!
After the call went through, Cole proactively said, "Mr. Winston, this is Cole. I have something to report from the Los Angeles Continental Hotel!"
On the other end of the phone was Winston, the manager responsible for all Continental Hotels in the US!
Winston heard this and asked calmly, "What is it?"
"It's Hicks Consulting Company. They sent a team of assassins last night to raid the residence of one of Hunter Sun's lovers!"
"He killed most of the assassins who attacked him and is very angry!"
"Just now, Hunter Sun purchased all the high-level information on Hicks Consulting Company from me, and I agreed to sell it to him!"
On the other end of the phone, Winston was silent for a while!
After a good while, he still replied to Cole calmly!
"Oh, it's not bad to let him go and cause a stir!"
"Tell him, and while you're at it, slip in a few of our commissions and give them to him together!"
"Let's see if this young assassin you favor has the potential to become the second John Wick!"
