New York, inside an inconspicuous ten-story office building.
In a conference room, only three people remained sitting inside at this moment.
The three of them sat in the now-empty conference room, separated by several empty seats.
They looked at each other and saw the anger and fear on each other's faces.
"What exactly is the situation now, Brett?"
"You are the current CEO of the company. With so many things happening recently, I think you need to give us an explanation."
A white old man with completely white hair asked with a frown.
From the way the hand holding his walking stick was constantly trembling with irritation, it was not hard to see the old white man's terrible mood right now.
His name is Steven Lancourt, one of the major shareholders of Hicks Consulting Company, who operates casino businesses in Las Vegas.
Privately, other members of the Lancourt family are engaged in the arms trade.
Their family is also a director of several US Military enterprises such as Raytheon, and although their share is not large, their strength cannot be underestimated.
Steven Lancourt looked dissatisfiedly at a refined middle-aged white man sitting in the main seat of the conference room.
Then he looked at another robust middle-aged black man in the conference room and soon let out a cold snort.
Let professional people do professional things.
This is one of the beliefs that has allowed Steven Lancourt to sit firmly on the throne of one of the largest gambling groups in Las Vegas for all these years.
In his early years, the reason he invested in Hicks Consulting Company and became its major shareholder.
Was because the founder of Hicks Consulting Company was the head of a security company that had once provided security services for Steven Lancourt's gambling group.
Initially, Hicks Consulting Company was also a security company; they recruited many retired soldiers and even Special Forces, but their performance was not very good.
It wasn't until a group of new investors was introduced that Hicks Consulting Company gradually discovered that they could actually make big money in areas other than providing security services.
Eventually, this company became more and more like a shady Assassin Organization.
Of course, Hicks Consulting Company did indeed make big money because of this.
This is also one of the reasons why Steven Lancourt, although dissatisfied with the transformation of Hicks Consulting Company, had not withdrawn his investment before.
As one of the casino tycoons in Las Vegas, Las Vegas, this old thing has many competitors and troublemakers to deal with on a daily basis.
With Hicks Consulting Company around, Steven Lancourt has easily solved many troubles in the past.
The person Steven Lancourt called Brett is the current CEO of Hicks Consulting Company.
And it was under his leadership, starting more than a decade ago, that Hicks Consulting Company transformed from an original security company into the current Assassin Organization.
Brett was actually also very irritated by the major shareholder's dissatisfaction.
He suppressed his anger and replied, "Mr. Lancourt, now the company's senior management, only the three of us are still alive."
"Everyone is a smart person, why pretend to be confused when you understand?"
"I don't believe you really don't know why the company got into such big trouble this time."
"This time, we were forced by the US Department of Defense to stand out and act as a gun for them to test the strength of that organization."
"Otherwise, that person named Hunter Sun is only one person after all."
"Even if he can really snipe a target accurately from two thousand meters away, can he really take out all the personnel we sent by himself?"
"Last night, Rhett volunteered to be bait, and we even arranged more than forty killers."
"As a result, they were all taken out."
"In the process of the battle, the other side even used flashbang grenades, Flashbang, hand grenade, and light machine guns!"
"That Asian Assassin named Hunter Sun does indeed have some skills."
"But you tell me, can that Asian Assassin named Hunter Sun really bring these pieces of equipment to one of our peripheral bar strongholds without our eyes and ears noticing, relying only on himself?"
"The US Department of Defense angered the Continental Hotel this time, and we are just taking the blame for them."
Although the United States is extremely lax in its control of firearms, it attaches great importance to mercenary companies and security companies registered in the country.
And the major clients of these companies here are basically the US Government.
Although Hicks Consulting Company started to switch to the business of hired killing more than a decade ago, it has also worked with the US Department of Defense and the CIA many times in the past.
Two months ago, when the US Department of Defense wanted to escort an Arms Dealer who helped them sell arms back to the country from Mexico, they received intelligence that an assassin organization might take action against that Arms Dealer.
Therefore, they hired Hicks Consulting Company and sent their ace assassin, John Smith, to protect that Arms Dealer.
It was during that mission that Hicks Consulting Company lost their ace assassin, John Smith.
They also failed to protect that Arms Dealer, and even caused the US Department of Defense to lose a helicopter.
It can be said that the trouble Hicks Consulting Company is facing now started from that failed mission.
Steven Lancourt was also blocked by Brett's impatient retort.
The hand holding his walking stick kept loosening and tightening in irritation.
After a while, he asked, "What does the US Department of Defense say?"
"After all, this test was started because of them."
Before Brett could answer, the robust middle-aged black man who had been silent in the office for a long time spoke up: "It's useless, the US Department of Defense will not intervene in this matter."
"When we previously sent assassins to deal with that Asian Assassin named Hunter Sun."
"We used the name of avenging John Smith!"
"So now, we also need to face the anger of the Continental Hotel alone."
The office fell into silence once again.
A long time later, as the CEO of Hicks Consulting Company, Brett was the first to speak.
"The Continental Hotel had previously thought about bringing us under their banner."
"In the past, we thought we had the backing of the US Department of Defense and could occasionally receive some commissions from the CIA, so we never paid any attention to the Continental Hotel."
"Judging from the intensity of their counterattack this time, it is impossible for the Continental Hotel to stop easily."
"The US Department of Defense will not help us. Besides surrendering to the Continental Hotel and becoming their subordinate organization, we have no other choice."
The twenty or so directors and executives of Hicks Consulting Company were killed until only these three were left in less than two weeks.
Under the threat of death, the three soon reached a consensus.
Steven Lancourt cherished his life the most, so he nodded first: "I have no objections."
The middle-aged black man then nodded as well, without saying anything more.
"Good!"
Although Brett was still a bit unwilling, he still said: "I will take the initiative to contact the Continental Hotel in a while."
"However, we cannot solve the Continental Hotel, but that Asian Assassin named Hunter Sun, we cannot just let him go."
Steven Lancourt rarely intervenes in the management of Hicks Consulting Company, so he asked with a frown upon hearing this: "That Asian Assassin's strength is very strong, isn't it? So many people have been taken out by him."
The middle-aged black man is the training director of Hicks Consulting Company, and before retiring, he was a major in the Delta Special Forces.
During this period of time, he has watched many of the crime scenes and surveillance footage left behind after that Hunter Sun killed their executives and directors.
Therefore, he spoke directly: "Indeed very strong, that Asian Assassin's long-range sniping ability, even within the US Military, only a very small number of top snipers can achieve it."
"Moreover, he also has quite strong close-combat ability."
"In the few surveillance videos I have seen, I have never seen him miss; he almost hits every shot."
"I really don't know how the Continental Hotel cultivated such a monster."
Brett also knew that relying solely on the power of Hicks Consulting Company, there was no hope of revenge.
But he still snorted and said: "John Smith's wife, according to our investigation, is also a professional assassin."
"The Assassin Organization she belongs to is no weaker than ours."
"Notify John's agent, find an opportunity to tell his wife the real cause of his death."
"Let them fight it out!"
The conference room was silent for a short while, and the other two felt that this was a good idea.
After quickly reaching a consensus, the three of them took action.
