[Chapter 278]
The Quinn family house in Capital City.
Zachary was sitting in front of the computer, waiting for the results.
According to Howard, David had skipped school these days, and he had no idea whether the dark web mission had succeeded.
However, they said they would reply in a week, and today was the first day after a week.
Soon, there was a message from the dark web.
Dark Web: [Mission failed!)
Dark Web: (Would you like to continue posting the mission or cancel it?]
Dark Web: [If you continue to post missions, you will need to increase your bounty by no less than 10%. If you cancel the mission, your bounty will be refunded.]
'Failed?
'How could it fail?'
Zachary could not believe it!
The dark web was a global underworld liaison site for the elite hitmen of the underworld.
If the dark web's men failed, who else could he contact?
Did he have to wait until T-man and Clinton's ten-year deal was over to touch David?
God knew when the ten-year date would be over.
How much longer did he have to be laughed at?
No!
He could not stand the ridicule going on behind his back.
If the hitman this time was not strong enough, he would pay more for someone better.
He would always be laughed at unless David died.
Therefore, he bumped the commission up to two billion dollars.
The two billion dollars commission immediately put his mission in third place on the dark web.
Countless hitmen had their eyes on the mission.
Many of the top hitmen were intrigued.
Ninety percent of hitmen did it for money, while only a fraction did it for fame or was just plain twisted to the point that they enjoyed killing.
Zachary increased the commission.
In a secret facility in Capital City.
"Captain, target 4 increased the commission."
"Hack it immediately and determine the exact location where the target posted the mission."
"Yes!"
"Captain, we're intercepted by the dark web. We can only confirm that they posted it in Capital City."
"The dark web is worthy of its name. They're fast! Inform Team Vulture No.10."
"Yes!"
David was still trying to figure out how to make a breakthrough and make his lavish points increase more rapidly when he received a secret message out of the blue.
It was the secret number of Spider Squad in Falcon, which was in charge of intelligence.
"Team Vulture No. 10! According to our analysis, the mastermind behind the assassination mission posted on the dark web is in Capital City. We don't know the specific location, and they have increased the commission for your assassination from one billion to two billion dollars. I believe that stronger hitmen are coming. Please prepare accordingly."
David perked up when he saw the message. 'The person trying to kill me is in Capital City?
'Who is it?
'Did Morris and his brother come to Capital City?
'Or is it someone else?
'Who else did I have a beef with other than Morris and his brother?
'Is it someone from Capital City?
'The eight great fighters of the T Faction… Zachary Quinn?'
He was the only person David thought of.
He and Zachary had their issues, but they did not seem to have a deadly feud.
He did not think he had done anything to Zachary. He did not even hurt Zachary, he just blocked his attacks to save the Luther siblings.
'Did he want me dead because of this?'
David's anger flared up at once.
'He's f*cking overly sensitive.
'You can touch the others, but we can't even block your attacks? Are we supposed to clean ourselves and wait for you to do something?'
David had yet to understand the importance of dignity for a man who had been privileged and held a high position in society since childhood.
However, not necessarily!
It was just his speculation.
If he wanted to test this idea, he would have to start with one person, Howard Jackson.
As he thought of it, David wanted to meet Howard first.
He had to sort it out immediately, or the assassination attempts would not stop.
Even if his mind power had had a breakthrough, and he was no longer afraid of such assassination, he was tired of it after it happened so many times!
