Ultimate Firepower
Chapter 77 - 77 69 Huge Profits

77: Chapter 69: Huge Profits 77: Chapter 69: Huge Profits Sean was focused on driving while Gao Yi took out his phone.

With the nun gone, he could check it out now.

Gao Yi first checked Henry’s mission.

The mission was still posted on the Dark Web, which meant that it hadn’t been authenticated yet and could not be considered completed.

Although Gao Yi could upload the video as evidence on the Garden’s account, he could not check whether the Dark Web had already recognized this evidence.

“How come it hasn’t been completed yet?

Could someone else be trying to claim the results as their own?”

Gao Yi was a bit worried, mainly because in the previous few times, the mission would be approved immediately after evidence was submitted.

But this time, he had neither the time nor the opportunity to record a video.

It was just accepting a mission, then clicking it as completed.

Verification had to be done by the Dark Web, so the results wouldn’t come out too quickly.

He understood how it worked, but Gao Yi couldn’t help but worry.

“It won’t be so fast, don’t worry.

The Dark Web is still very rigorous even though you didn’t provide video evidence this time.

But it won’t be so easy for others to claim the completion.”

After saying that, Sean steadied the steering wheel with one hand and took out his phone with the other.

After opening it and taking a glance, Sean suddenly exploded in anger, “These bastards, such clear video evidence was submitted, why isn’t it approved yet!”

Gao Yi, somewhat worried, said, “Could Revenge Blade be stealing our business?”

Sean replied gravely, “Very likely.

After all, Revenge Blade was the first to accept this mission, and it seems they had no intention of responding to the nun.

So, once the news of Ditzel’s death gets out, Revenge Blade will surely claim they completed the mission.”

“That won’t be a problem, right?”

“No problem!

We have evidence!”

Though that’s what he said, Sean was still worried.

So, Sean quickly said with a hint of concern, “Revenge Blade won’t be able to produce evidence, right?”

“That’s right.”

Now the two were essentially comforting each other with reassurances, but just as Gao Yi finished speaking, he suddenly saw the mission status on his phone change.

“Hey, my mission is completed!

The commission has been paid.”

Sean exclaimed excitedly, “It’s been recognized?

That’s great.

It seems no one else was competing for Henry’s mission.

Since you were the only one who took on the mission, naturally it would be credited to you after it was completed.”

The commission for killing Henry was five hundred thousand dollars, just over the threshold of a C-level mission.

Honestly, for the difficulty of killing Henry, five hundred thousand dollars was an absolute bargain.

But, Revenge Blade merely created an opportunity to let the nun kill Ditzel, so they wouldn’t pay a high bounty.

The mission for Ditzel was different.

Ditzel’s mission was worth twenty million dollars, a very big order even among A-level missions.

According to the agreement between Gao Yi and Sean, all the commissions from this mission would go to him; moreover, the Garden had to pay an additional five million dollars as compensation to Gao Yi.

So, Henry’s five hundred thousand dollar reward was nothing.

The mission for Ditzel could earn Gao Yi twenty-five million dollars, enough for complete financial freedom—this was the key.

But according to the rules, if the Dark Web didn’t authenticate that the Garden had completed the task, then Gao Yi would not get the money.

So, in some ways, Gao Yi was more anxious than Sean.

Gao Yi quickly said, “Check if Ditzel’s task is completed.”

Sean looked at his phone again and then sighed, “It would be good if it’s recognized by tomorrow.

After all, it’s a twenty million dollar task, and, there must be many people competing for it.

Who knows how many would claim they’ve completed it.”

“Wouldn’t those who falsely claim the commission be punished?”

“Of course, they would.

Those with low ranks get their accounts deleted, the high-ranked receive warnings, and repeated offenses lead to demotion.”

Sean waved his hand and said, “Revenge Blade is definitely going to make a mistake this time.

I hope the nun notifies them in time.”

To comfort himself, Sean forced a smile and said to Gao Yi, “With twenty-five million dollars, what will you do with all that money?”

“Retire, go home, and enjoy life.”

It wasn’t too solid to dream of the future without the money in hand, so Gao Yi couldn’t help but say, “That won’t be a problem, right?”

“No problem at all,” Sean said somewhat conflictedly.

“So you won’t be an assassin anymore?”

“With that much money, why be an assassin.”

That’s the advantage of being a free man.

Even if the people in the Garden got the money, they couldn’t leave and enjoy retirement.

Gao Yi was blunt, and after hesitating for a moment, Sean said, “Alright, that makes sense.”

Gao Yi smiled and said, “What about you?

Now that the Garden’s mission is completed, what will you do next?”

“Completing an A-level mission should keep the Garden on the A-list for at least three more years.

Maybe I’ll find a qualified assassin to join the Garden.”

Gao Yi suddenly said, “The Garden is so short-staffed; don’t you want that nun?”

“I’m really not interested in fully formed Consumables.

What the Garden needs isn’t cannon fodder but an assassin who can stabilize the scene.”

Sean said regretfully, “Actually, I’ve been looking for several years.

You’re the only one who could be a super assassin—hmm, do you know anyone else with martial arts skills as good as yours?”

Gao Yi said, “Stop dreaming.

A martial arts genius like me comes along once in a hundred years, not just once in a hundred years—at least once in fifty.”

Sean snorted with a forced smile, “You’re truly confident, but you do indeed have the right to be.”

While talking, Sean glanced at his phone again and then said suddenly, “Huh?”

“What’s wrong?”

Sean said, “I saw a message on the Dark Web.”

“What message?”

“A mysterious person suddenly struck and killed Henry at his banquet.

According to witnesses, the mysterious assassin broke Henry’s neck, then used throwing knives to injure…

You can use throwing knives!”

Sean was shocked, whereas Gao Yi simply shrugged, “Just a supplementary technique.”

“Where did you learn it?”

“Online.

There are many bloggers who are very accurate with throwing knives—actually all sorts of things like playing cards, needles, axes, even rocks.

I followed along with the videos and then realized…

it’s actually quite simple.”

Sean was silent for a moment before saying, “You’ve become famous.

Anyway, you’re famous now.

The entire Dark Web probably knows about your existence.”

Gao Yi was puzzled, “The news from the scene spread so quickly?”

“It could already be in the news, or someone posted information not yet released by the police after passing it at the scene, which is quite normal.

This message already falls under the category of intelligence.”

After that, Sean said admiringly, “The news from the scene is beginning to spread.

I guess it won’t be long before the results are confirmed.

Gaining fame from Henry and making money from Ditzel—bro, you’ve made a fortune this time.

In theory, you’ve made a fortune, the kind that’s once and for all.

But until the money arrives, Gao Yi couldn’t relax.

The reason Gao Yi was so desperate was that a huge sum of money could allow him to achieve financial freedom directly.

But as for gaining fame, unless the Dark Web disclosed the Busan account, no one would know who undertook the task.

“Gaining fame might be an overstatement—I didn’t plan on disclosing my identity, and no one knows my name, so how can I become famous?”

Gao Yi could choose to disclose it himself; for example, he could completely release all of Busan’s achievements, letting the entire Dark Web know about his strength.

For assassins eager for fame, voluntarily disclosing is a common practice.

Gao Yi now had two missions under his name: one with Suleyman in Mexico and this one with Henry.

The commission for both tasks wasn’t very high, but they were very difficult to complete, and he completed them successfully and quickly.

The missions had been out for no more than a few days, and at the time of completion, there were many eyewitnesses.

It was really killing in the full view of the public eye.

So if he chose to disclose it, just based on these two distinct and strong stylized missions, it would be enough to make him a famous assassin overnight from an unknown small character.

But Gao Yi had no plans to disclose.

Gao Yi had no other thoughts; he had one principle: people are afraid of becoming famous just as pigs are afraid of fattening up.

As for the assassin industry, being too famous doesn’t seem to be a good thing; it often means dying quickly.

At this point, Sean had to say something.

“Aren’t you planning to disclose?

Well, if you’re just operating alone, being too famous can indeed be dangerous.

The Garden is different.

Once this action is confirmed, I will immediately announce it as a masterpiece of the Garden.”

As an assassin organization, especially at a critical moment of near disqualification, the Garden needed the fame and would naturally not hide it.

But Sean obviously had another intention, and he quickly said, “However, if you really want to retire, could you sell me your account, or let me manage it for you…”

Gao Yi was slightly stunned, “Huh?

Sell it to you?”

In a low voice, Sean said, “If you earn enough money and retire, then naturally your account will be useless.

You can sell it to me; I’ll offer ten million dollars.”

Gao Yi was taken aback.

Was his account worth that much?

Sean continued, “But if you’re not sure whether you’ll retire and just plan to take a break for a while, then you can give me your account to manage.

I’ll find someone to use this name to continue acting, sort of like maintaining your account for you, what do you think?”

The Garden really needed an assassin who could hold their ground.

After pondering for a moment, Gao Yi did not hesitate too much or feel averse, smiling, “Okay, I’ll sell you the account when the time comes, or you can manage it for me.”

All Sean wanted was that response.

He might not have gotten Gao Yi, but having the name Busan was still a great gain.

For Gao Yi, it meant achieving the peak as soon as he started, retiring after two missions.

To have been an assassin to this extent was already a success.

After getting the money, he could do whatever he wanted—how wonderful.

It was a win-win situation for both parties.
