Another mysterious organization.
S.H.I.E.L.D.?
Locke raised his eyebrows, always feeling that S.H.I.E.L.D. was involved in everything.
But it's true, SHIELD has always been a troublemaker.
As the old saying goes, you want to do everything, but you can't do anything well.
Terrorist act?
Not to mention the distant past, what was SHIELD doing when the 9/11 incident happened three years ago?
Arms deal?
The smuggling of arms all over the world is still going on. Not to mention all over the world, the arms trade in the federal underground black market is almost as busy as a market.
Killer?
The Continental Hotel is located on Pearl Street in New York, just two blocks away from SHIELD's office in New York. Doesn't SHIELD know about this?
They can't do anything about it.
Besides.
When training an agent, they are often told time and again that they would rather defect and come to school than go back. If you tell others about this, it would make people laugh out loud.
"Yeah?"
Locke's thoughts raced, and he sneered, "If you're here to remind me of this mysterious organization, then I'll say thank you. My things, if I don't tell you to give them away, no one can snatch them away. Whoever dares to snatch them away will have to pay the price."
If SHIELD dares to come, he will kill them.
The only thing that can influence Locke is the reward of the mission, not fear or the desire for safety.
As long as the reward is big enough, he won't be afraid of Thanos, let alone SHIELD.
In Locke's eyes, S.H.I.E.L.D. is not as good as the Brotherhood in New York as long as Hydra does not take sides. He can kill S.H.I.E.L.D. and wipe them out completely.
At least, the bullets of the New York Brotherhood can turn corners. Do the bullets of SHIELD have this ability?
Oh.
Callum Lynch frowned slightly. He heard the firm and strong murderous intent in Locke's words. It was a murderous intent that was subconscious and decided in an instant.
"I have already uncovered the tip of the iceberg of this mysterious organization. Victoria Knox, who told me how to find you, was once a member of the organization."
"who?"
"Victoria Knox, an arms dealer who sold munitions."
"oh."
Locke nodded and looked at Callum: "Is she dead?"
Callum: "…"
Locke smiled and spun the wine glass in front of him: "I was just kidding, of course I know who she is."
The first sentence is a joke, but the second one is not.
Victoria Knox has already been sentenced to death in Locke's eyes.
The same thing.
He didn't mind that Victoria gave him up in order to survive. That was a survival instinct, which Locke could understand. However, Locke cared a lot that Victoria had given him up.
Callum and Sovia next to him looked at each other.
The latter seemed a little reluctant, but still nodded.
Locke raised an eyebrow according to the body language of the two.
What are you doing?
Callum looked at Locke: "Mr. Wushuang, you have the golden apple in your hand, and the golden apple should be under the custody of the Brotherhood, so..."
After talking for so long, are we going to get started?
All right.
Since you look like Magneto, I'll give you a quick death.
Locke narrowed his eyes.
However, just as Locke's murderous intent was about to rise, and the system was about to issue a task with a ding, Callum said to Locke with a heavy breath, "In the name of the Brotherhood, I invite you to join us and become one of us."
System: "Ku…???"
Locke's killing intent also dissipated as quickly as the tide receding, and the system's urge to issue a task was naturally suppressed.
Blinking, he came back to reality and looked at Callum, "What?"
If you can't beat me, why not just join me?
Callum said with a serious expression: "I can see that we are the same kind of people. Join us and become one of us."
Locke readjusted his sitting position, having nearly fallen over. "Aren't you guys... coming here to take back the golden apple?"
What is this unfolding?
Locke was confused.
Callum nodded and said, "We did plan to do so, but after reading the little information we have about you and this brief encounter, we discovered that you are actually the same as us."
Locke: "…"
Everything is false, everything is allowed!
This is the creed of the Brotherhood, and under this creed, there are three principles.
First, the indiscriminate killing of innocent people.
Second, hide yourself in plain sight.
Third, never endanger the brotherly alliance.
Callum said, "You only kill those who are guilty. You could have killed that police officer at the time, but you didn't. Moreover, since your debut, no one has been able to discover your true identity. As for the third point, you anticipated that we would find Locke and left your contact information. Moreover, you also learned the New York Brotherhood's 'gun-fling technique'. You are one of us. Join us."
Locke opened his mouth.
The reason he didn't kill the police officer was because his name was George. Try someone else.
The reason why no one has found out who he is is because he doesn't exist at all.
As for why I left my contact information, nonsense, that was one of the three contingency plans I prepared to prevent my identity from being exposed.
What does it mean that just because you can wield a gun you are a member of the Brotherhood?
That's what I said.
only...
How come I don't know that I'm acting in accordance with the brotherhood?
Locke smiled and looked at Callum thoughtfully: "What if I say I'm not interested?"
Callum's eyes were calm. "We will keep an eye on you. If you try to use the golden apple to do anything harmful to the world, we will fight you to the death, or we will perish."
Locke nodded: "It's a very severe threat."
Callum corrected him, "It wasn't a threat, it was a statement."
Locke looked up at Callum and was about to refuse when he thought of the task ejected by the system.
Roman orthodoxy in Locke?
I'm afraid this task is not that simple.
Locke originally thought that Callum and his men were planning to rob the place. If that was the case, then it would be easy to deal with.
kill.
Kill them all and the problem will be solved.
but...
Callum's IQ is obviously online.
Locke was wondering what Roman orthodoxy meant. He had checked the information about the Brotherhood and found that the former Roman Brotherhood was indeed orthodox, but after the collapse of Rome, the Brotherhood also fell apart.
Eastern Brotherhood.
Italian Brotherhood.
Egyptian Brotherhood.
The brotherhoods that have sprung up all claim that they are the true Roman orthodoxy.
Good job.
This is indeed a series of tasks.
The dog system doesn't want me to incorporate all the brotherhoods. In this way, there will only be one brotherhood left, and naturally he will be the only one left as the Roman orthodoxy.
"mmp!"
Locke suddenly felt that he had guessed right and felt a little embarrassed.
but...
