No taboos in the world

Chapter 53 Marcus

Midtown Manhattan, New York.

High-rise residential building with sunlight shining through the windows.

The living room of more than 200 square meters has a ceiling height of eight meters and glass curtain walls on three sides, providing an ultra-wide view of the Hudson River and Central Park.

Warm colors are chosen for the walls, curtains, floors, etc., and the fully customized furniture is perfectly integrated, neat, simple and generous.

The sound of Anna's high heels hitting the oak floor became clearer in the wide space. She turned her head and looked around, with surprise in her eyes.

"Is this your home?"

"Yes."

Although Hong Chen's answer was very affirmative, he was no less shocked than Anna when he looked at this absurdly large and surprisingly luxurious house.

As I recall, Killer 33 spent all his savings to buy this super residence.

In order to continue making money, he even took on a job like assassinating his ex-husband for $50,000. Of course, $50,000 was a lot of money in that era.

Unfortunately, Killer 33 only came here once after buying it, and then hurriedly started his "work", and was eventually replaced by Hong Chen near Moscow.

The above is not a person’s real experience, but the identity background that Hong Chen obtained after traveling through time.

This house is part of the game's novice gift package, and is also an arrangement to make the connection between Hong Chen and Killer 33 more natural and logical.

After all, although the mansion is nice, it is only used for living. At most, it can be sold for gold, and it takes a white ring to take it away. However, the value of wealth to him is rapidly decreasing, and it will approach zero infinitely in the future.

"I didn't expect being a killer could make so much money. I'm starting to doubt whether I need to revise my idea of ​​becoming a model." Anna came to the window and sighed as she looked at Central Park which was completely within her sight.

Hong Chen also stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery he had never experienced before, and said with a smile: "Don't think about it, you are already a killer now."

"It's the assassin's assistant."

"Almost. Come with me."

Following his memory, Hong Chen took Anna through the living room and into the equally astonishingly large kitchen. He fumbled for a hidden panel on the refrigerator door. After triple verification of password, fingerprint and iris, the entire refrigerator suddenly shrank inwards and then moved to the left, revealing a completely new space.

The area is about 100 square meters.

All four walls were covered with a variety of weapons, and the cabinets were filled with different types of ammunition and equipment.

An extra-large workbench about five meters long, with various tools on one side and several computers with connected screens on the other side.

Anna was shocked again.

Hong Chen felt like he was watching a movie.

This was his third time traveling across time, but it was his first time fighting such a rich battle.

He went in first and said, "See if there's anything you like."

The two of them walked around the room, one in front and one behind, and looked at all the weapons in the room.

"Did you use that much?" Anna asked.

Hong Chen shook his head: "It can't be used, but it's quite pleasing to the eye."

The weapons and equipment here are all well-known types and models from all over the world, and their collection value is greater than their practical use value.

Then, Hong Chen walked to the door: "Come here."

Anna came to his side obediently, and he said again: "I will give you the entry permissions. You can come and go here freely in the future. If you need remote support in the future, you can provide me with help through the equipment here."

Hearing this, Anna glanced at him twice quietly and nodded slightly.

After entering Anna's fingerprint and iris in turn and telling her the password, Hong Chen said, "Go choose a room you like and have a good sleep. We'll go out for dinner together tonight. Starting tomorrow, you teach and I learn."

"what do you want to learn?"

"I want to learn everything you know and I don't know."

After returning to the room, Hong Chen saw his makeup in the mirror and turned to Anna to borrow makeup remover.

Anna then said: "I know what to teach you tomorrow. You should learn how to put on makeup first, so that you can have an additional identity that is least likely to be noticed by others."

"Good idea." Hong Chen agreed. Women's clothing is not the goal, but a means.

I don’t like women’s clothing at all!

Right, that is it!

After taking off the wig and makeup and taking a shower, Hong Chen lay on the bed. If he turned left, he could see the Hudson River in the distance; if he turned right, he could see a corner of Central Park and the bustling city in the distance; if he lay flat, the blue sky and floating white clouds outside the glass window also came into view.

Empty your mind and fall asleep quickly.

Night falls.

There was a knock on the door. Hong Chen woke up and answered it.

After a while, the two went downstairs and drove to the restaurant.

The car stopped in front of a Chinese restaurant.

"We're having Chinese food?" Anna was surprised, but there was some surprise in her eyes.

"Well, you want to order?"

"Okay!"

Although Anna didn't say anything during the meal, her expression and eyes proved that she was very satisfied with the meal.

Halfway through the meal, a man came in through the door.

He searched around and finally looked into Hong Chen's smiling eyes. He smiled and walked straight towards him.

Hong Chen: "There are guests coming, don't worry about it."

Anna didn't even raise her head, she lowered her head and chewed her food and hummed.

The man chose the chair next to Hong Chen and sat down. He put down the bag in his hand and said, "We have been working together for three years and finally met for the first time today. You are younger and more handsome than I thought. I am glad that you invited me to meet you. You can call me Marcus." He stretched out his hand.

Hong Chen held his hand: "My name is Hong Chen."

"Obviously this is a Chinese name, I guessed wrong again." Marcus laughed.

Hong Chen took the set of dishes and chopsticks brought by the waiter and handed them to Marcus, saying, "I didn't expect that my agent is actually my colleague. Tell me, did you give me your own orders, swallow a large sum of money from me, and lied to me that it was the agency fee?"

Marcus burst into laughter when he heard this, and skillfully placed the bowl and chopsticks aside. He picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

"Mm, delicious!" He swallowed the food and said, "Your suspicion makes me sad. Hong, you should understand that not everyone knows where to place an order, and there are always some orders that cannot appear on the largest platform for various reasons. At this time, small intermediaries like us have a place to use our skills. People like you who don't want to work in a big company can also take these well-paid orders."

Hong Chen nodded slightly, accepting what he said.

Marcus took two more bites before asking, "But how did you know I was your colleague?"

Hong Chen looked at his face and smiled unconsciously.

Marcus was stunned: "Why, I look... bad?"

"No, Marcus, you're just not as good-looking as me. Bad and ugly are two different things."

Marcus immediately looked resentful.

Hong Chen: "Eat quickly, and we'll talk after you're done."

Marcus nodded and said no more.

Hong Chen could clearly feel the cold aura that was restrained from Marcus. It was an aura that naturally arose after killing many people. It could probably be called "evil aura."

However, Hong Chen's basis for identification was not this, but his appearance.

Who told him to have a face like the Green Goblin?

I heard that this old man was so gifted that he frightened the crew members, and they even had to use a body double during the filming.

If I ask him later, I wonder if he would be willing to tell me the size.
