Chapter 127

Seeing this, a trace of despair flashes imperceptibly in the woman's eyes.

She was actually provoking him just now, wanting to try if there was a glimmer of hope; it seems there really isn't.

Then... daughter...

Reluctance flashes in her eyes, but immediately she becomes firm; she didn't withstand the torture just now and revealed that information, so she already had no way back; for her daughter, she can only trust this marked person now.

Being able to be marked and still not be able to move only shows that he has the strength to make the company wary, so he should have the ability to hide her daughter.

Now it depends on whether the information she provided is enough; as for whether Louis will fulfill these promises...

She has no choice; enduring the pain, she begins to narrate.

The so-called W Company, the full name is actually Watershed.

This enterprise has power in many southern states, because the four or five missions she has done over the past three years were all in southern states.

She is indeed just a peripheral member, only a bit more special; because of her professional quality, she was about to be recommended as a full-time employee by the man who brought her into the industry.

She only had a single-line contact with that man; how many people the company has, where they are, what they are researching, and how strong their power is—she doesn't know any of this.

But she was a spy after all; over three years, she also grasped some clues.

Because the bonus for each completed mission and the monthly basic salary were all issued through a trust fund named Thomas; according to her investigation, there are more than a dozen capitalists standing behind this trust fund, including bankers, food groups, large factory owners...

Combined with the things her superiors told her usually and the support and convenience she received during missions, she believes that Watershed Company is a special company supported by multiple capitalists; the dozen or so capitalists behind the Thomas Trust Fund might only be a part of the members.

Moreover, this company was established not long ago, otherwise it wouldn't be so hungry as to reuse even an outsider with relatively high professional quality like her; and the reason it is supported by these capitalists should be related to supernatural items, otherwise this company wouldn't keep collecting special items.

And among these special items, some are collected away, while some are placed out for social experiments after being processed, and she is the supervisor.

Responsible for supervision; once an accident occurs, she must take countermeasures in time.

As for those four gunmen, they were subordinates arranged for her, and they know even less.

"The meaning of a marked person is..."

"Full-time employees will have a W tattoo; every full-time employee is an important member of the company and must have completed many missions, belonging to trusted personnel.

And this company must have an entity, a headquarters, and economic flow, because of the IRS, there is no such thing as a void company in America; they all must pay taxes; the reason it cannot be found is probably just that it is hidden well.

Although it is hidden behind the scenes now, I think with this company's ambition, it will walk onto the stage sooner or later."

Clearly, she is very confident about the IRS point, and even used this to deduce some of the company's future trajectory.

After listening to her words, Louis frowns deeply.

What is this?

A union of capitalists?

That's right, this is America; after capitalists learned of the existence of the supernatural, how could they not have actions? This W Company might be a similar product.

However, he doesn't know what this W Company is specifically researching to be able to get the support of so many capitalists.

Regardless, this definitely belongs to a strong enemy.

It's just, I had already become a marked person of W Company before she made a move?

That is to say, I had been exposed in front of W Company?

When?

And why would they be wary of me? Because of the family?

A company with considerable power in the southern states and at least a dozen capitalists supporting it would be wary of a gang family that has just transformed into capitalists?

This is unreasonable.

There are probably other reasons inside.

Looking at it this way, this W Company is quite troublesome, because as the master of this national team, capitalists huddling together to stand for them itself means trouble.

"What is the company's style of conduct?"

"Normal merchant style: exploitation, utilization, good treatment, sometimes very ruthless, but sometimes they become conciliatory, like... a head without a unified idea, only various, constantly changing thoughts."

Hearing this, Louis roughly guesses some of the reasons why the other party didn't make a move against him; although it's very reluctant, it should also be one of the reasons.

Sure enough, compared to centralization, a decentralized system is easier to exploit.

"Since you are a CIA agent, do you know about the departments in America related to the supernatural?"

"This aspect is managed very strictly; there are no public agencies; I only know a few departments that might be; these departments are all very secretive, the level is not too high, but without exception, they can mobilize police forces at will..."

"..."

He asked about some other things, such as where the woman's daughter is and what her name is, the contact information of that superior, etc.

Although she said it all, the woman believes they probably won't be able to find that superior, because she was caught, and the superior will likely relocate.

After asking, the woman suddenly begins to wail and beg Louis; she wants to live, she wants to live.

The strength she had been feigning just now completely collapsed.

Louis shakes his head; he had given her a chance before; he had said, one chance, life or death.

Unfortunately, she chose death.

Louis won't be soft-hearted; if he just didn't kill someone who attacked him and almost made him look miserable or even seriously injured just because he pitied the other party's encounter and listened to a few cries, then what would that be?

It's a pity, her value is not enough; if she were special enough, Louis actually wouldn't be unable to just endure it.

But she clearly doesn't have this value.

In Louis's cold eyes.

The driver drags the woman out; accompanied by the sound of gunfire, her life is quickly ended, which can be considered giving her a quick death.

In fact, considering the amount of intelligence the other party provided, Louis had already been lenient; for example, he didn't use her soul to make a soul stone; you must know, she has quite a lot of sins on her...

Ending the woman's life, Louis sits on the chair and begins to think.

"W Company... capitalists..."

Lunca on the side, seeing Louis is a bit troubled, suddenly says, "Actually, you don't need to consider this company for the time being; since they made you a marked person, there must be a reason."

"And since they act so secretly, it must be because they cannot see the light now; there is power suppressing them, or their power is not enough and they need to hide; in this situation, they cannot do anything with great fanfare, which contradicts their behavior of marking you."

Louis nods; Lunca is right; this company certainly cannot be the only one; the biggest one is still the main body of America.

"I know, I'm just thinking about what this company is doing; what will those rich people use the supernatural for? Longevity? Money? Or power?"

"And have you considered a question: since this company was established recently, what about those big capitalists from before? Will they also have similar actions?"

Lunca is stunned, and then begins to ponder.

Louis's question points directly to the core; these capitalists are not quiet people; if this W Company is the object of support for some newly promoted big capitalists, then what about the old ones?

And similar institutions established by the American state.

I feel that the other side of this world is even deeper than I imagined, Lunca thinks sincerely.

"Alright, don't think about these for now; it's too empty; focus on the present."

Louis stretches, "You go back first, and intensify your cultivation; next, I'm going into seclusion, striving to directly complete the Qi Gong, and then break through to the Yin Spirit."

"Hmm, okay."

After Lunca leaves, Louis first calls his grandfather, and then begins the cyclical path of ghost-eating cultivation.

……

Miami.

The Kano family receives a mysterious call.

Carl picks it up, his expression changes, and after a while, he hangs up the phone.

"W Company, Wilson, oh Wilson, I didn't expect that after not being in contact for so many years, you have gone so much further than me on the road of seeking the supernatural; this time, I have to owe you a favor."

I'm afraid Louis didn't expect that the reason he was set as a marked person also has a layer of relationship with his grandfather.

"Little Louis, sure enough, he's restless."

Carl shakes his head; in fact, he had expected this point long ago; after all, how could a capable person be so easily content with the status quo?

However, now that he has provoked this W Company...

The words Wilson said on the phone ring in his ears: W Company is a part of the capitalists who rose after World War II, and it can also be said to be supported by the new era capitalists; as for the purpose of its establishment, Wilson didn't say, only saying it is an extremely magnificent goal.

And now, according to him, W Company is still expanding and developing.

This kind of power is something the Kano family cannot resist.

Although they cannot use violent means, just economic sanctions alone would probably force the Kano family back to their gang prototype.

No, I must warn little Louis to be content and behave himself.

Carl picks up the phone, just about to call out, but pauses; after a long time, "Forget it, send this information to him and let him decide for himself."

"I'm old, I'm old..."

In fact, Wilson, a friend from his youth, also invited him on the phone, wanting him to join, and promised that he could use the power of this circle to help the Kano family completely wash their hands of their past; unfortunately, after decades of ups and downs, Carl has seen through many things.

First is the trust issue; Wilson is indeed a friend from his youth and helped this time, which can be said to be very sincere, but capitalists are capitalists; they are untrustworthy in their bones; who knows if this favor is him borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha, going with the flow; what's more, they haven't been in contact for decades, and Carl doesn't want to gamble.

Secondly, such an enterprise network that has begun to expand (if the other party hasn't exaggerated) will sooner or later be suppressed by the higher levels of America; entering now, even if one can gain profit for a while, one will have to spit it out later, and even encounter accidents because of dangerous things like the supernatural.

Here, the biggest one is ultimately America!

Of course, he doesn't deny that this is mainly because he is old and has no drive; if he were twenty years younger, he would dare to gamble with Wilson.

Carl shakes his head, edits the information, and sends it out.

After doing this, he lies on the recliner and quietly basks in the sun; when people get old, they just like to bask in the sun.
