Early morning, darkest time.

Naples, Vittorio Bruno's mansion, in a reception room.

"So...you're the one who said Qianming now?" Vittorio sat at a small table and said to his guests while having a midnight snack.

"Yes." Olivia sat on a sofa chair several meters away from the other party, responding in a tone of neither humility nor arrogant.

"Ha... I really didn't expect that Gallo was actually caught in the hands of a little girl like you." Vittorio did not show any sadness after hearing the death of his "school dog". On the contrary, he smiled with interest, "If you have the chance, I want to know what you did."

"It doesn't matter what I did." Olivia replied, "What's important is...I did."

"Ah...ah...understand, understand." Vittorio said in a long voice, "Tell me, Miss Qianming, you have any new conditions, as long as it is not too much, you can discuss it."

Although Vittorio always regards Qianming as a dog in his heart, he is still quite polite to Qianming's leader on the surface; after all, many federal executives now need Qianming to do business, and as an intermediary, he can get a lot of benefits from it; in contrast, most of the foundations are in Qianming, Europe, and also need a powerful protective umbrella like Vittorio Bruno.

In recent years, under Gallo's operation, the two sides have formed a win-win model of mutual benefit; no one wants to see the situation in order to make some face-saving problems or small profits.

"Please rest assured, Mr. Bruno, I am a person who knows how to behave." Olivia continued, "The Bruno family is my role model. I hope that the Du Qiao family can make Qianming's foundation bigger and bigger like the noble family... last for a hundred years, or even a thousand years."

Bang-

Just as she was about to start to negotiate terms, suddenly, the door of the reception room was pushed open.

A tall bodyguard in a suit and headphones rushed in and said in panic: "The county is the first to be born! Something happened to the front door..."

"You can't even knock on the door?" Vittorio turned his head and showed obvious displeasure. He stared at the bodyguard and interrupted, "Didn't you see me talking to the guest? Who allowed you to come in?"

"Yes... I'm sorry, the county was born first." The bodyguard quickly lowered his head and apologized, "But this is an emergency now, I hope you can take refuge with us as soon as possible."

When he said the word "we", two more bodyguards in suits rushed over from the corridor behind him and appeared at the door.

"Hmm?" Vittorio was also a person who had seen big scenes. Although he was in doubt at this moment, he was not scared by the situation. He just asked calmly, "What's going on? The people are rioting? Or is it an organized bomb attack?"

The two assumptions he mentioned were the worst situation he could think of; and... even if it was a situation of this level, he was not afraid.

Because the Bruno family's mansion is the most heavily defended place in the entire Crown County; the area here is larger than the office area of ​​the local federal government, Vittorio's private armed forces are even stronger than the local garrison... Whether it is weapons and equipment or the individual combat capabilities of bodyguards, they are outstanding, and the various defense facilities in this complex are also solid.

"There is someone...he...he said he was going to come in and kill you..." The bodyguard said this, hesitated for a moment, and then looked at Olivia next to him, "...and Miss Ducho."

"What...?" When Vittorio heard this, he really wanted to stand up and slap the bodyguard. "Are you all idiots?" His anger came up. "Because of this, you rushed into my reception room, interrupted my conversation with the guests, and asked me to take refuge? Is there a stinky beggar who came to my door to shelter from the rain next time, and you all came to inform me?" He pointed to the bodyguard. "You will now order the person standing guard at the front door to kill me that the guy who was clamoring to kill me! Also, you will show me the gate for a month from tomorrow!"

"Slow down." At this time, Olivia suddenly spoke, "Something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" Vittorio still needs to listen to the words of the leader Qianming.

"It's not surprising that someone came to your door and clamored to kill you, but..." Olivia said, "Why did the other party know that I'm here?"

After saying this, Vittorio immediately discovered this blind spot.

Anyway, the fact that the leader of Qianming secretly visited the head of Guanzhi County in the middle of the night... must be kept secret; the only people who knew about this were their own subordinates; how could an ordinary person who shouted to kill the head of the county know that Olivia Ducho was visiting Bruno's house at this moment?

"What does the person you are talking about look like? Where is it now?" Olivia had a vague premonition in her heart, and she quickly asked the bodyguard.

…………

Forty minutes ago, Bai Ge Bar.

The bell at the door rang, and Jack walked in.

When the bartender heard the sound, he glanced at the door, and then... the cup in his hand fell to the ground and broke.

Bai Ge Bar has been open for so many years, but no one has ever seen the bartender break things, but today... I saw it.

People's eyes quickly moved to Jack and the bartender.

Everyone's conversation stopped, everyone's expressions were frozen, and except for the old record player, it was still making noise and distorted music, and there was no other sound in the entire bar.

"I want to talk to Charles alone." Jack said this as he walked down the ladder.

After the words fell, within five seconds, the guests in the bar stood up and walked out; in less than thirty seconds, there were only Jack and the bartender left in the entire bar, and even the waitress put down the tray and left.

"Oh..." When the house became empty, the bartender sighed and said, "I have advised you...and more than once."

Jack looked at him without saying anything.

"Are you going to kill me?" asked the bartender a few seconds later.

"Why do you think so?" Jack continued, "You just said how many years Olivia is, just because of this... do you think you deserve to die?"

Indeed, most of what the bartender said to Jack was true, and the advice was sincere; the only point of lying was to cover the real Olivia.

"Ha...yeah." The bartender laughed dryly when he heard this, "Why do I have this kind of thought?"

"I'll tell you why," Jack said, "because you feel guilty in your heart."

"Is there any guilt..." the bartender said, "I've been in this industry for so many years, will there be that kind of thing?"

"Of course there will be." Jack said, "Everyone has sin, sooner or later... we will be swallowed by it."

"What about you?" asked the bartender.

Jack was silent again, and showed a shallow, sad smile.

"Stop talking..." Jack said, "Tell me whereabouts of Olivia and her men."

In the usual case, the bartender might reply first - "How can you be sure that I know their whereabouts?" or "What can you do if you find them?"

But at this moment, looking at Jack Anderson in front of him, who even felt "strange" from him, he could not have the courage to say those words.

The bartender just quietly took out a piece of paper, wrote down several strongholds used by Olivia's men and handed them to Jack.

…………

"Jack Anderson?"

The moment he heard the name, Vittorio and Olivia repeated it in a surprising tone at the same time.

The bodyguard thought he didn't say it clearly, so he said, "Yes, he called himself Jack Anderson, and said he wanted to come in and kill you... and they all said to the monitor at the gate. After that, he shot and exploded the monitor."

"Impossible." Olivia said firmly, "Jack Anderson is dead."

"What? He's dead?" Vittorio obviously knew Jack, but he didn't know what happened in the past few days.

"Yes," said Olivia, "just twenty hours ago, I personally blew him to death."

"Are you sure?" Vittorio seemed to be very afraid of Jack. After hearing the name, he became nervous. "Is it possible that he just exploded and got seriously injured?"

"A liquid bomb that can blow up the factory explodes directly in his arms. How do you want me to be sure?" Olivia replied impatiently.

"Is this what..." Vittorio nodded, but was still skeptical.

"Miss Ducho... In any case, this man who claims to be Jack has sneaked in... no... he has 'break into' the mansion and destroyed nearly one-third of the surveillance equipment; when I came here, we had a large number of people missing..." The bodyguard continued, "To be on the safe side, please ask for two..."

"Okay! Stop talking too much!" Vittorio interrupted the bodyguard again, but this time, his line was, "Don't waste time, lead the way quickly, I'm going into the bunker!"

At the beginning, he was too nervous to curse, but now he thought he was running slowly, so he was talking about Vittorio's behavior.

"You go to take refuge first, Mr. Bruno." On the other side, Olivia looked solemn, because she still firmly believed that Jack was dead, and all that came was a fake, "I'm going to meet the intruder and see who he is."

"You..." Vittorio had already followed the bodyguard to the door. Hearing this, he looked back at Olivia, "...Then be careful."

He had no need and had no time to ask the other party to take refuge with him. Anyway, who will be the leader of Qianming, it is the same for him. If he takes the initiative to take risks, what does it have to do with him?

So Olivia stayed in the mansion and touched carefully in the direction of the front door.

Vittorio, escorted by three bodyguards, trotted into a safe passage and arrived at the entrance of the "bunker" located under the mansion within two minutes.

Many federal officials will prepare for emergency shelter facilities like this; after all, this is the 23rd century. The more technology advances, the more means can cause the destruction of all mankind in a short period of time... No one can say whether a super AI will take over the nuclear warheads of the world tomorrow, or a mutant virus with a 100% mortality rate flows out of a certain laboratory. Anyway, rich people have too much money to use, so it is also safe to build a bunker that can last for a while in the end of the world. Even if humans are going to usher in the inevitable destruction, these people hiding in the bunker can at least choose a relatively decent way of death.

[All identifications have been passed, the security door is opened.]

After a series of scans such as fingerprints, voiceprints, pupils, passwords, etc., the door of the bunker finally opened.

Vittorio also knew that it was not realistic to keep the three bodyguards outside at this time... Anyway, he just went in to avoid assassination, not to avoid the end of the world, and at most he would stay for a while, so he asked the bodyguards to come in with him.

Seeing the security door of the bunker gradually closed, Vittorio's heart slowly fell; as long as the door in front of him was closed, he would be absolutely safe. Even if all the bodyguards in the mansion were killed, even if the house was attacked by missiles, he could be unscathed here.

The three bodyguards who followed him all breathed a sigh of relief. At least today, they would no longer have to fight for their lives.

scold--

With the sound of the air valve venting, the door was completely closed.

Vittorio immediately let out a long sigh, turned around, and thought of sitting down at the sofa.

unexpectedly.

"Ah!" He turned around and screamed because he saw that someone had already sat on the sofa.

It was a man wearing an expensive black suit with a scar on his face that straddled the entire face.

Hearing the master's scream, the three bodyguards also turned around quickly. The three of them had already pulled out of the holster and held it in their hands, so they almost instinctively raised their guns and aimed at them.

Of course...

Bang bang bang-

A gun, three sounds, sounded almost in the same second.

A second later, three pulp flowers bloomed on the heads of the three bodyguards.

At this moment, the gun that Jack was holding was the weapon Gallo collected in the "coffin". It was a very exquisite special product, and its rate of fire and power were not comparable to standard guns on the market.

"Do you know why I didn't come to kill you back then?" Looking at Vittorio, who was sitting on the ground with a shocked look, Jack slowly stood up and asked and answered, "Because I was a very timid and selfish person at that time..." He paused and continued, "I can kill some not-so-bad politicians for money, so that scumbags like you can be re-elected as the county chief; although you wanted to silence me later, I just killed the commandos who came to the door and did not come to kill you... because I don't want to get into more trouble."
To be continued...
