On the side, Alexandra was infuriated when she heard Murakami's words. She said, "Murakami, how dare you..."
Murakami, seeing Charles unfazed, continued, "My lord, I am willing to lead the Hand in surrendering to you. The Dragon Bone can grant immortality, but it requires a special method. I am willing to provide you with that method."
Seeing Murakami surrendering so unconditionally and revealing the true secret of the Hand, Alexandra's face turned even uglier. He knelt down as well and lowered his head, saying, "Lord Charles, I am also willing to surrender."
By now, Sasuke and the others, who had dealt with all the enemies, had approached and surrounded the two men.
Charles Doyle looked at Iruka, who was nearby, and said, "Tie them up for me."
…
On the other side-
The Bowery King and others had just gathered their subordinates and were rapidly heading towards Charles's Agency.
New York Continental Hotel-
The sudden attack had driven the assassins in the hotel back, but after Charon cut off the hotel's power supply and with his knowledge of the terrain, the hotel's security personnel and the assassins inside launched an effective counterattack.
For a while, casualties mounted on both sides. However, the Continental Hotel was Winston's headquarters, and to prevent a recurrence of the defeat by the Adjudicator, Winston had increased security personnel and equipped them with more advanced weapons.
The hotel's security personnel had become a sharp blade that plunged straight into the Hand's forces.
If not for Sowande and Bakuto, the Hand's members might not have been able to contend with the Continental Hotel's security forces.
The battle between the two sides was intense, and for the time being, it was difficult to determine the outcome.
…
On the other side-
The personnel responsible for sealing off the Forest Hills in Queens didn't pay much attention to the sudden cessation of gunfire.
They had received orders to seal off the area, believing that there was an anti-terrorism exercise happening inside, and their job was to keep unrelated people away.
As for what was happening inside, they didn't care.
At the ruins of Charles's Agency-
Iruka had already tied up the two men and brought them to kneel in front of Charles Doyle. He had gone back inside the agency to search for something.
Seeing the two men in front of him, Charles Doyle patted their cheeks and then spoke slowly, "The Hand has five fingers. Besides Madame Gao, whom I've already eliminated, where are Sowande and Bakuto?"
Upon hearing Charles's question, the two men looked at each other and then Murakami spoke, "They led a group to attack the Continental Hotel."
Hearing that Sowande and Bakuto had gone to attack the Continental Hotel, Charles felt relieved. It seemed he wouldn't need to make a trip to Japan.
"Sasuke, Lee, you two head to the Continental Hotel and bring back Sowande and Bakuto. Kill all the other intruders."
"Be careful to avoid surveillance on the way."
Upon hearing Charles's orders, the two of them answered, "Yes!"
Their figures flickered, and they disappeared instantly.
This time, Charles Doyle didn't instruct them to take a car because he wasn't sure if the cars in his garage were still in working condition.
The focus returned to Alexandra and Murakami in front of Charles, who spoke calmly, "You have some interesting ideas, splitting your forces into two groups, one to attack my agency and the other to destroy the Continental Hotel. Did you think you could take me down with such confidence?"
"Just relying on this scrap metal?" Charles gestured towards the RPG rocket launcher and the armored vehicle that had crashed into a nearby shop.
Alexandra, kneeling on the ground, couldn't help but twitch his mouth at the thought: If I had known these things wouldn't be useful against you, would I have chosen them? If you were in japan, I could have used missiles against you, let alone dirty bombs and portable nukes.
Clearly, Alexandra was still somewhat unwilling to accept this defeat. Now, he wasn't just worried about Charles getting the Hand; he was uncertain if he would even survive.
Seeing that the two men remained silent and hung their heads lower, Charles exclaimed, "Raise your heads!"
Reluctantly, the two men lifted their heads.
"Now, let's discuss the issue of the losses incurred this time."
"My demands aren't high. Just hand over the Dragon Bone you have."
Upon hearing Charles mention the Dragon Bone, neither of the two men spoke.
After about three seconds, Charles became impatient. His chakra surged, and a terrifying pressure pinned the two men firmly to the ground.
Feeling Charles Doyle's terrifying aura, Murakami found it difficult to breathe. The two men locked eyes with each other while being pressed to the ground.
Alexandra spoke, "Lord Charles, our Dragon Bone has been used up. Otherwise, we wouldn't have sent Madame Koga to New York to search for it."
Hearing this, Charles Doyle kicked up a katana from the ground and held it in his hand.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
In the blink of an eye, the blade flashed, and Alexandra was chopped into more than a dozen pieces. Charles then kicked Murakami aside.
"Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique!"
The dismembered Alexandra was instantly turned into charcoal by the intense heat of the fireball.
Charles Doyle's Great Fireball Technique had undergone significant changes due to skill fusion, the amplification from the Sharingan, and his horrifying chakra. It easily outclassed Incinerator.
Seeing Alexandra completely turned into charcoal, Charles stopped his Great Fireball Technique.
He then looked at Murakami, who was trembling with fear, and said slowly, "In this condition, I believe Dragon Bone can't resurrect a pile of charcoal."
Murakami, who had managed to sit up from the ground with great effort, could only look at Charles Doyle with terror in his eyes and stammered, "How did you know the secret of the Dragon Bone?"
"Madame Gao would never have disclosed this information to you."
Charles smiled and then spoke slowly, "The secret of the Dragon Bone isn't yours alone. Don't forget where you came from."
Hearing Charles Doyle allude to Kunlun, Murakami didn't dwell on how he knew about the Dragon Bone's ability to extend life and resurrect people.
Looking at Murakami, who remained silent, Charles Doyle continued, "Now, can you tell me where the Hand's Dragon Bone is? Did it come with you to New York, or is it stored at the headquarters in Japan?"
