No taboos in the world

Chapter 55: Taking Orders, The Wolf of Wall Street

The collision and fusion of black and gold tones create an atmosphere of mystery and luxury coexisting in the Continental Hotel.

Before entering the hotel, Marcus took out a gold coin and kept throwing it up in his hand.

Coming to the counter, Marcus slapped the gold coins on the table and gently pushed them out.

"Charon, two new guys," he said to the black man behind the counter.

Charon, the receptionist at the Continental Hotel and also one of the managers, has a shiny dark complexion.

Behind the lens, a pair of eyes turned to Hong Chen and Anna, and with a light glance, he took the gold coin, lowered his head to take out the paper from the drawer, and said: "Marcus, you always introduce some good newcomers."

Marcus smiled and said, "I'm old now, so I have to do more part-time jobs to supplement the family income."

Charon smiled slightly, sorted out two file bags and handed them to Marcus, along with a key.

"Welcome to join us. I hope my service will satisfy you in the future." He whispered to Hong Chen and Anna.

Hong Chen smiled and nodded, but Anna remained cold and made no response.

Immediately, they followed Marcus, took the elevator upstairs and entered an empty office.

Marcus handed them the document packet and instructed them to fill it out.

There is nothing strange about the content. It is similar to ordinary company onboarding materials, or even simpler.

Marcus then took a picture of them with the camera in his office, stuffed the completed information back into the file bag, and placed it into a pipe in the wall.

Looking back, he smiled and said, "It will probably take another half an hour, kids, we can have some coffee."

Of course you have to make your own coffee, but Marcus is very good at it.

While sipping coffee, Marcus continued, "After becoming a member, the Continental Hotel will give you a gold coin for free, and the platform will also be open to you. You can check the platform information at any time through your mobile phone or computer. There are always many jobs for you to choose from. However, I don't recommend you to take some tasks."

Hong Chen looked at him curiously.

"The first type is killing politicians. This kind of task is not difficult for us, but the subsequent investigations and troubles you may face will be far greater than the reward you get." Marcus reminded seriously.

Hong Chen smiled and said, "What about the Ukraine incident?"

Marcus shook his head helplessly. "This is the second type I'm talking about. It's best not to accept missions related to those spy organizations, especially those from the KGB and CIA. The reason is the same as above."

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at Anna.

Anna was naturally very calm.

Hong Chen thought of the previous task reminder.

If he chose to kill John Wick at that time, it would most likely attract the attention and tracking of the KGB.

In other words, the employer behind John Wick's mission is most likely the KGB.

From John's ambiguous attitude at the time, we can know that although John was unwilling, he had to accept it. It is estimated that there is some involvement between the two parties that is inconvenient to disclose.

Maybe, like the blood pact at the Continental Hotel?
The best thing about the complex world is that there are multiple main quests to explore, but the most unfriendly thing is that after the fusion of different film and television works, the world background and plot development will undergo unpredictable changes.

Just like in the movie "John Wick", the police and the government are basically just a supporting role or even almost non-existent, but now it is completely different.

"I remember it. Is there anything else?" Hong Chen asked.

“Third, don’t have too much communication with those gangsters, and don’t cooperate with them privately, even if they can bring you more profits. Don’t forget, they are a group of people who are more unruly than killers. Remember these three points, I believe you will live a good life, and maybe you will surpass John and become a greater legend in the future.” Marcus said with a little emotion.

Hong Chen laughed when he heard this: "Isn't the legend of the assassin world still an assassin?"

Marcus was stunned, and then he couldn't help laughing.

"You're right, a killer is a killer. It seems you have higher aspirations."

Hong Chen: "You said not to have too much communication and cooperation with the gangs, but I remember you also said that there are gangs in the upper echelons behind the mainland hotels."

Marcus pursed his lips and said, "Yes, so if you want to get away with it in the future, don't contact them, just do your own work, and no one can cause trouble for you."

Hong Chen nodded slightly without commenting.

It is impossible not to have contact, otherwise how can the main task be completed?

There are four main lines in total, there is no way he would give up.

At this moment, the pipe in the room suddenly opened.

Marcus immediately stood up, took out the contents and handed them to the two men.

A card to verify your login to the Mainland Hotel Killer platform. A gold coin is a gift for your first registration.

Under Marcus's guidance, the two successfully logged into the platform, and the tasks from all over the world were neatly arranged in front of them.

The three left the hotel.

Hong Chen handed his gold coins to Marcus.

"You just used one, so I'll give it back to you now."

Marcus raised his eyebrows and said, "No need. After you complete your first mission, the hotel will give me an extra share of your rewards and gold coins."

This is a benefit for the referral.

Hong Chen flicked his thumb, and the gold coins flew up and fell accurately into Marcus' chest pocket.

"Take it, I don't need it now."

Seeing this, Anna also took out her gold coins.

Hong Chen shook his head: "Keep it for yourself."

Marcus also said: "You might be able to use it."

He was hinting at something, and Anna cleverly understood: if the KGB found her one day, she could still stay in a mainland hotel for temporary shelter.

But Hong Chen didn't mean that. He said directly: "I think you can use this gold coin to buy a weapon you like."

Marcus was stunned, then laughed.

"Well, you always have good ideas. Let's say goodbye here. We haven't seen each other for half a year. I have to go see John."

"How is his wife's condition?"

Marcus shook his head. “It’s not very optimistic. I’ve been in the hospital but my condition hasn’t improved. But to be honest, not getting worse is the best outcome.”

Hong Chen nodded and said goodbye to Marcus.

Although Marcus acted as a middleman and Hong Chen and John had chatted a few times in the past six months, their relationship was not close, so he did not suggest going together.

After all, his current level of Chinese medicine knowledge has no way to treat terminal illnesses.

He took Anna into the car and just sat down when a white shadow suddenly jumped out from the back seat and jumped into Hong Chen's arms.

"Meow~"

The soft and sticky cry instantly brought smiles to their faces.

This is a cat with long, snow-white fur and two eyes of different colors, one yellow and one blue.

Its parents came from the other side of the ocean, and it is a lion cat.

"Nina, do you miss me?" Hong Chen held it in his arms and sucked it hard, and it obeyed without any resistance.

"I want one too." Anna stretched out her hand, her tone a little jealous.

Nina was obviously chosen by her personally, but she always preferred to be close to Hong Chen.

Hong Chen handed Nina to her with a smile and started the car.

When they got home, Anna hugged Nina and refused to let go, while Hong Chen sat in front of the computer selecting tasks.

The reason why he chose to settle in New York is, firstly, because there are properties that can be inherited here, and secondly, because New York often appears in various types of works, and here, he has a greater chance of meeting different plot protagonists.

The reason why he joined Mainland Hotel was not because this platform could allow him to make more money, but because he could get to know more people through the orders provided by the platform.

As we all know, the protagonists are always different and often become the targets of assassination by the villains. What's worse, some protagonists are the villains themselves.

It turns out that Hong Chen's method is effective.

He soon saw a familiar name - Jordan Belfort.

"The Wolf of Wall Street".

Because this is a work that combines biography and comedy, Hong Chen has not reviewed it seriously.

There was only one thing that impressed him.

The protagonist’s wife… is very smooth!
