Chapter 244 Attention During Meetings
Ding Ding Ding Ding!
Amidst the distinctive, rhythmic gunshots, Tommy effortlessly completed a kill.

In less than a few seconds, he had killed almost all the enemies in the room, including the gangsters who had led him in.

In the very end, only the host of the meeting remained, the little old man named Luigi.

"What the hell!"

Luigi was panicking inside, but he tried to appear calm. He raised a trembling hand, put a cigar in his mouth, and then lit it with shaky steps.

He took a deep breath and then exhaled a large cloud of smoke.

Stimulated by nicotine, he calmed down considerably and was finally able to speak.

"Listen, friend, no matter how much money that guy gave you, I'll give you double!"

Despite his advanced age, Luigi's intelligence and wisdom have not diminished in the slightest.

Since the other party didn't kill him immediately, there must be a reason for doing so.

There might be something he can use against them.

Of course, he knew a little bit about it too.

Most people who can do this job are cold-blooded and inhumane.

Therefore, trying to reason with a killer is definitely not going to work.

There is only one, and only, method that is effective.

That is to throw out large sums of money and openly lure people in with benefits.

That's what Luigi thought, and that's what he did.

In order to save his own life, he directly offered double or even triple the price.

But to his disappointment and even despair, no matter how high the price he offered, the "delivery guy" standing opposite him remained unmoved.

Why do people always think they can buy me off with money?

Tommy shook his head.

This was the case before at the Red House, and it's the same now in Italy.

Furthermore, if you're going to negotiate terms, then what is Luigi doing with the hand hidden behind his back?

Ding Ding Ding!
Tommy didn't even blink, and fired the nail gun in his hand again.

Several nails flew out and pinned Luigi's hand to the table.

What followed was a painful scream, and the image of a pistol falling to the ground.

"Please, can you at least show me some respect?"

Tommy was speechless.

The old man thought his little tricks hadn't been noticed, but in reality, he had seen through them all along.

With his superhuman reflexes, he could even see the flapping of a fly's wings.

For Luigi to try and fool him was as difficult as a primary school student sitting in the front row of the classroom playing on their phone.

However, today is Luigi's lucky day.

Jaina had told him before he set off that he didn't care about anyone else, but Luigi, as the leader, had to be captured alive.

They said they would take advantage of the old man, squeeze out every last bit of value from him, and then execute him in a grand manner.

Upon hearing this, Luigi's expression did not improve; in fact, it became even more unpleasant.

Compared to the leaders who died, he certainly escaped death tonight.

But that doesn't mean his fate will be any better.

Luigi knew all too well how cruel his family was to traitors.

He even personally served as an executioner on several occasions.

That's why, when he heard that he was about to be subjected to severe torture, he immediately felt a sense of impending doom.

Under intense emotional stress and the stimulation of a heart attack, the gray-haired old man suddenly felt dizzy, his head tilted back, and he completely lost consciousness.

Luckily, Tommy had pinned his hand to the table beforehand, otherwise he would have fallen under the chair and gotten a bloody head wound. Surprisingly, his fainting spell really worried Tommy, who immediately went over and checked his breathing.

Fortunately.

The old man was still breathing.

Tommy's heart immediately relaxed.

Since he had promised Jaina he would capture her alive, he had to make it happen no matter what.

If he really killed Luigi, wouldn't that make him look like an amateur?

Does it make him seem unprofessional?
This unjustly tarnished his reputation as the "Harwood Butcher".

Fortunately, things weren't as bad as he had imagined.

Luigi is still alive. His mission for the day is complete, and he can finally call it a day and leave.

Tommy opened the Anywhere Door and quickly left, disappearing completely from the room.

But those gang leaders who were just talking so loudly could no longer take a single step and fell forever in a pool of blood.

Their ambitious and grand plans will never be realized.

……

Hello.

Carrying the unconscious Luigi, Tommy returned to Gianna's residence and casually handed him over to a servant in the villa.

"Take this guy away and keep a close watch on him. Make sure he doesn't get away."

Tommy casually gave a word of advice, then turned and went to find Jaina.

As luck would have it, he returned just in time, as Jaina was taking a shower.

The bathroom was filled with steam. Jaina, who had taken off all her clothes, was completely immersed in the water, with only her head sticking out. She had a face mask on and was enjoying the warmth of the water with her eyes closed, surrounded by elegant music.

Just then, the bathroom door suddenly opened.

"Tommy?"

Jaina didn't even look up, yet she knew who the newcomer was.

No one in the entire villa was as bold as Tommy, daring to open her door without even a greeting.

However, what puzzled her was why Tommy had returned so quickly.

It's only been less than ten minutes.

According to her calculations, there were so many objectives in this mission that even with Tommy's skills, it would probably take him a while to complete them.

But she forgot that people can change.

A few years ago, Tommy would have done exactly what she thought.

But the situation is different now.
As the saying goes, a day apart feels like three autumns.

She and Tommy hadn't seen each other for more than a day; it had been almost a whole year. Naturally, she wouldn't know about the changes that had happened to Tommy, let alone his strength.

She was still judging people with outdated perspectives, so of course she was surprised.

Moreover, there's another convenient condition today.

If those gang leaders all go home, even if Tommy manages to complete the assassination mission, it will still take some effort and he'll have to run several blocks more.

But those leaders were just unlucky enough to all gather together for a meeting.

This is truly a golden opportunity.

Tommy, of course, wouldn't let this golden opportunity slip by. He simply flicked his finger and pulled the fatal trigger.

In a matter of seconds, they performed a textbook example of catching everyone in one fell swoop.

It was a killer training lesson that was performed in great detail.

What does this mean?
This shows that holding meetings can be really dangerous.
