American Comics Reward Order

Chapter 9: I’m in trouble, who am I afraid of?

After the three returned to the outpost from Raccoon City, they found that the place had changed drastically compared to the last time!

The number of the US army increased from two battalions to two divisions, each with guns and ammunition ready to go.

At the same time, he was shivering.

On a makeshift podium, Defense Secretary Thaddeus E. Ross was giving an impassioned speech to the media reporters.

Well, a few years later, Thanos was about to invade the earth, and this guy was still clamoring to arrest Captain America.

"Everyone, we are about to use plasma to introduce zombies in Raccoon City into killing traps one by one."

Thaddeus looked proud, "This trap tactic was independently developed by the Ministry of Defense... mainly by me..."

Damn it, there is a special emphasis on 'independent research'...

Plagiarism, isn’t it just Bangzi’s patent?

Why is it so popular here?

"Don't mind them."

John put his arm around Laika's shoulders, with a relaxed look on his face, "Let him copy it. It's always a good thing to clean up Raccoon City and rescue the refugees as soon as possible."

The original creator doesn’t mind, so what else can Laika say.

Anyway, nothing can ruin Laika's good mood now about raising a seven-figure bounty.

A little behind, Jane was confirming the arrival of the bounty with the council.

To be honest, it's quite thrilling.

The battle just now was so intense that none of the three of them looked at their watches.

In fact, when you kill the tyrant, there are only 15 seconds left before the time limit expires!

The Council has an extremely powerful set of monitoring methods that can accurately monitor how much bounty each killer deserves.

For example, among the zombies in Raccoon City, which killer killed several zombies should be given a few hundred dollars to make it clear and honest.

Even if a zombie is hit by seven or eight beginners at the same time, the council will know who gave the fatal blow and give him the 100 US dollars.

The same goes for the time limit, even if it exceeds one second, the council knows it.

Not a single point will be deducted from the money that should be given, and the money that should not be given will be useless even if you go to the Continental Hotel to hang a banner.

If there was anything that could possibly go wrong, it was that the Tyrant deal was a private deal taken by the Smiths.

In other words, the Senator’s 1200 million bounty will be paid to the Smiths first, and then the Smiths will give Laika his share:

900 million, minus the 26 commission to be paid to other new killers.

874 million.

The council doesn't care about this step, and if the Smiths don't pay, they won't help Laika with his salary.

Although Mr. and Mrs. Smith were not deadbeats, they were still a little upset when they didn't receive the money one day.

John seemed to notice Laika's anxiety a little bit, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to go back to New York with you, but we have received a new mission and we have to go to Los Angeles."

Laika's heart suddenly shuddered.

Damn, it sounds a bit like the rhythm of rolling money and running away.

To be fair, the Smiths were really frustrated. They made a big profit but only got a small share. Their hard work was almost in vain.

I almost got two lives in it.

But this was all negotiated, and if Laika hadn't shown off her power just now, their relatives and friends would have gathered together for a feast.

"Is it dangerous? Do you want my help?" Laika asked pretending to be calm.

Keep an eye on the debtor and never let him escape.

Unexpectedly, John gave an answer that made Laika even more desperate.

"Oh, this is just a small business, you don't need to get involved..."

∑(°△°|||)︴

"...But there are some things that I want to find a place to talk to you about alone."

Ok?

The rabbit is dead and the dog is cooked, and the murder is silenced?

Feeling anxious, Laika followed John and hid behind a transport aircraft.

John went straight to the point: "Let me tell you what you are most concerned about first. We will not give you any less of the money you deserve, and we will give it to you right away."

Laika breathed a sigh of relief in her heart and quickly waved her hand: "See what you said, don't be in a hurry."

"Stop pretending, I'm new here too, so there's no need to worry about money."

"Ha, brother understands me."

"Anyway, don't worry. The money will definitely arrive after I tell you something important."

John lowered his already deep voice a little lower.

"Before I asked you to form a team to do the mission, Jane and I studied you carefully. At first we thought we had seen through you."

Laika blinked: "It turns out that I am more sophisticated than you thought?"

"The word level is not very accurate." John scratched his head, "I think you are an unfathomable person with a bright future."

"Oh, look what you said."

So accurate~~~

Laika tries hard to be a humble person, but she doesn't seem to succeed.

After staring for a while, John smiled bitterly and said: "You didn't fully understand. What I meant was that you are an unfathomable mortal with a promising future."

When he said the word 'mortal', he deliberately raised his voice.

“You should know that as we continue to grow in size, the council today is far from the council it was [-] years ago.”

Laika said confused: "You mean compared to ten years ago, many killers under the Council are no longer mortals, right?"

"Yeah, think back ten years ago, the purgatory-level John Wick was the ceiling for killers and the goal that all killers strive for."

John showed a helpless expression.

"But now, this ceiling is just the floor for those archons."

There are currently four Archons, the highest combat power of the Council, and they are all monsters.

Either you are a monster on the outside or you are a monster on the inside.

The reason why the Council can accurately monitor how much bounty each killer deserves is because one of the Archons can see and hear everything through human electronic devices.

Its name is 'Solomon' and it is an artificial intelligence.

The other three consuls are also not fuel-efficient lamps.

With Laika's current strength, they are all out of reach.

John continued: "It's really annoying to say it. The skills we have honed over decades are nothing in front of these monsters."

Laika understood, but didn’t seem to understand.

"What you said so much means..."

"As the directors continue to grow, more and more monsters will join in, and this industry will definitely be severely involuted."

John pointed at Laika, and then at himself, "And if we mortals want to gain a foothold in the council, there is only one way, and that is to unite."

"Hold together?"

"Yes, let me explain first that the two of us are not planning to gather all the mortal killers on the council, but are only looking for reliable ones like you."

John's eyes were full of sincerity.

"What I mean by reliability is not only your abilities, but also your personality. You are very much like our husband and wife. You will never betray a true friend lightly."

Laika shrugged: "Well... I don't even dare to say it myself, because I have no friends in the council."

"Who said that?" John was a little unhappy, "We and I are your friends."

This is somewhat of an element of friendship.

But Laika feels quite useful.

After thinking for a while, Laika said seriously: "Since I am telling the truth, I will just say a few words."

"Please."

"Actually, it's not that complicated. If the industry gets involved, let it get involved."

Laika showed a confident and fierce smile. "It's just...if anyone dares to get in front of me and block my way, I will kill them!"

After a brief stare, John also laughed.

"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers."

"Do you think so? I think I am a newborn lion who is not afraid of dogs."

Laika slapped her chest vigorously.

"If those Archons block our way, we will kill the Archons. If the Council cannot tolerate us, we will kill the Council!"

If one day Thanos comes to Earth wearing the Infinity Gauntlet, I will break off his thumb and index finger and see if he can snap his fingers with the remaining ones! "

Every sentence is sincere.

Keep making money and keep getting stronger.

Laika has the confidence.

The complete confidence was written all over his face, and when John saw it, he didn't even have the slightest feeling that this kid would hit the muzzle sooner or later.

After a while, he smiled and said: "Just now, it seems that you didn't say 'I', but 'we'."

"Really?" Laika blinked, "Well, if there are a few younger brothers, the work efficiency will indeed be higher."

"Okay!" John said half-jokingly, "Then if I don't mention the grouping thing, if you take off in the future, don't forget to take us two with you."

"That's easy to say."

At this moment, a 'ding' sound suddenly came from the trouser pocket.

Laika took out her phone and took a look.

"Oh, it really paid off."

Not far away, Jane shook her phone and raised her eyebrows at Laika.

"Of course, I specifically asked my wife to give you your share as soon as she receives the money."

John said helplessly: "The price is that I have to pretend to be you tonight."
