Chapter 1076: End of the First Half, and Gains
Luke shook out his arms, and the leader and the guard whom he had been using as cover fell to the ground, their bodies riddled with bullets.
Crossing his arms, he slowly tucked the two Glocks back under his armpits. He took another step toward the southwest passage, leaving the hall that was filled with screams and groans.
He didn’t move quickly, and was limping again.
When he walked out of the hall, the few guards who were still alive and could shoot kept quiet from fear.
Although the man’s back was facing them, and he was staggering as if he was about to collapse, they didn’t have the courage to open fire.
They could only watch as the person disappeared down the passage. Only then did they let out long breaths and soft sighs in unison.
“Quick, call for help.”
“Who is he? Who is he?”
“Mom, I want to retire. I’m never going to be in a gang again.”
...
Luke, who was acting, limped out of range of the last surveillance camera in the catacombs, before he went back to normal.
He quietly reached the foot of the mountain and got into his car. He took out a prepaid phone and sent a message to Gianna: “Everything went smoothly. Follow the plan.”
Gianna, who was waiting for the ambulance in her bedroom, was about to reach for her phone, when Cassian stopped her.
Cassian saw that it was a text. He hesitated, then handed her the phone.
Gianna opened the message, then let out a long sigh of relief.
Cassian: “He sent it?”
Gianna nodded. “Everything’s going smoothly. Get your men ready. The moment those people come for the autopsy, subdue them in one go.”
At that point, she laughed coldly. “I really have to thank my dear brother. The most troublesome old fellows were killed earlier; it’ll be easier to control the rest. If he hadn’t found Jonathan, it wouldn’t have been easy for me to deal with these people. Now, these people’s deaths are on his head, hehe.”
Cassian nodded silently.
Even if Santino was lucky enough to escape alive this time, he would definitely suffer.
Even if the dust settled and Gianna “came back to life,” those people would still hate Santino.
Who asked him to look for the Boogeyman!
Several old fellows of the Camorra family had been implicated and died. Their descendants probably wouldn’t reason with Santino.
Although this plan had been put together in a hurry, it was effective.
In the end, it all depended on whether or not John could kill Santino.
Once this goal was achieved, Gianna would be invincible.
At that time, she would be the only descendant of the Camorra family, and one of the twelve members of the High Table.
...
Luke drove back to the Rome Continental Hotel in a bloody state.
When he arrived at the lobby from the hotel parking lot, many people only stared at him for a moment before looking away. They weren’t too surprised.
The guests here were all veterans in the industry.
Injuries were common in this line of work. There was nothing much to see.
At most, they would keep an eye on Luke and, when they were free later, ask around about what major incident had taken place in Rome tonight.
Walking to the front desk, Luke said to the tall girl, “Book me a flight to New York for tomorrow morning.”
The receptionist nodded. “Yes, Mr. Wick.”
She glanced at his wounds and asked, “Do you need me to get someone to send you to the medical ward?”
Luke shook his head. “No; have a first aid kit sent up to my room.”
As he spoke, he acted as if he was doing his best to keep himself together. However, he was still limping as he headed for the elevator.
The Rome Continental Hotel was the final act.
He had to pretend that he was heavily injured but was concealing it and pretending that they were ordinary injuries.
I’m sure Santino’s dog will relay this information to her master.
On a couch in the lobby, a young woman with short hair narrowed her eyes as she watched him disappear down the hallway. She picked up her phone and typed out a message: He’s returned to the hotel and booked a flight back to New York tomorrow morning.
In New York, Santino read the message and his heart raced. Confirm her condition. If his operation was a success, you can come back.
The short-haired woman: Understood.
After sending the message, she got up and left the hotel.
...
Regardless of the strife within the Camorra family, Luke boarded a flight back to New York at nine o’clock the next morning.
This time, the flight attendants were even more solicitous.
Compared with a handsome man, an injured handsome man was clearly more effective in arousing their protective instincts.
Luke was indifferent.
During the flight, he read through the information on his phone. He only calmly said “sorry” or “thank you” to them.
The information on his phone was from Gianna.
It was basically about Santino’s forces and important subordinates in New York.
It wasn’t easy for anyone else to get their hands on this information, but Gianna had always had it.
Clearly, she was also wary of her troublesome brother.
With this information, at least half of Santino’s life was over.
With Luke added into the mix, the ambitious second young master was doomed.
After reading the information, Luke had even more thoughts. It was impossible for him to directly destroy Santino.
That would result in a huge waste of experience and credit points, which would disappoint Daddy System.
Just like now, when he looked at the system prompt, he felt that the cooperation with Gianna had been worth it.
System: Kill important member of the Camorra family, Vittorio. Mission accomplished.
Total experience: 3,000. Total credit: 3,000.
Contribution rate: 100%. EXP +3,000. Credit +3,000.
System: Kill important member of the Camorra family, Quesipe. Mission accomplished.
Total experience: 2,500. Total credit: 2,500.
... Wait.
Out of the eight mid- and high-ranking Camorra leaders, none of them had less than 2,000 experience and credit points, which added up to a total of 21,000 experience and credit points.
These eight people were Gianna’s assassination targets. She had even marked out their range of activities during the banquet.
In fact, there were a total of eleven people on the list that Gianna had given to him.
The three people who didn’t get shot either ran fast or were far away. There was even one who he hadn’t seen, and who had thus escaped disaster.
In addition, the two guards whom Cassian had mobilized, Lucio and Frenan, were closer to Santino.
Lucio and Frenan had charged into the basement with more than sixty guards to hunt Luke down, and most of them had died there.
Gianna no longer had to worry about internal mischief threatening her personal safety.
With more than sixty people, Luke earned another 15,000 experience and credit points.
The system showed that the host’s experience was 189,000 / 300,000.
Credit: 205,000.
The 36,000 experience and credit points earned was just from the Camorra banquet as the first half.
The second half would continue in New York.
