Chapter 440: Chapter 420: Look Down Upon

"What?"

Dani asked in shock, "He’s just one person, yet he maintains extremely close contact with the United States, Northeastern University, Russia, and France simultaneously? What gives him the right?"

Green shrugged and said, "Never mind what gives him the right, but since he can do what you can’t, do you want to protect him while also being a top assassin?"

This thing that Dani couldn’t do had a profound implication; everyone knew what it was, but no one would say it out loud.

Dani sighed and said seriously, "If he’s really as formidable as you say, what can I do even if I work for him."

"Get changed, then take out the two targets in London as a meeting gift for him, we need to hurry."

Kir interjected, "Wait a minute, if we let Dani take out two targets, is it just about taking out the targets?"

Green and Dani both looked at Kir.

Kir said gravely, "The French have the first-mover advantage. If we just kill the targets like the French, how do we show our sincerity, our superiority? I mean, how do we show that the Captain is more outstanding than the guillotine?"

Being the boss, one must consider the importance of face value.

Green glanced at Dani, saying, "Well, I’m worried about whether our current Captain can still work like he used to. Looking at him now, I think we should give him some time to get back in shape before considering whether he can outmatch the guillotine."

Dani’s current look indeed left much to be desired.

Dani didn’t hesitate to say, "I’m fine!"

No need for further words, fine means fine, losing shape doesn’t affect one’s strength.

This was the Captain’s confidence.

Kir didn’t know whether to believe Dani or not, he just whispered to Green, "Now we have two options, one is to let Dani directly eliminate the two targets in London, no matter how it’s done, by the time Hammer God wakes up and gets out of bed, it will all be over. But there’s a downside, we can’t boast to Hammer God how powerful Dani is, we can’t prove Dani’s reputation, we can’t even prove to Hammer God that all this was done by Dani himself."

Green slowly nodded.

Kir continued, "The other choice, we take Dani back with us, let Dani show Hammer God onsite how he does it, let Hammer God know Dani’s strength, physically see and feel the oppressive aura of a top expert, only then will he earn Hammer God’s respect and feel our sincerity. But there’s a problem with this approach."

Kir looked at Dani, who also seemed deeply concerned, and said, "Are you really up for it?"

The chief of the Intelligence Bureau seriously said, "Dani, have you really been indulging yourself these years, or are you trying to use this guise to confuse others?"

Dani, a bit annoyed, held up a finger and said seriously, "I’ll only say one thing, I don’t know what identities the two targets hold, or what kind of protection they have, but! I can assure you, I can immediately take out the three of you right here!"

Green pursed his lips, then he sighed and said: "Then that’s fine, I hope your confidence is as big as your size now, come on, get dressed, bring the essentials, you’ll never come back here again."

Dani silently turned and went back to his bedroom, followed by the sound of opening the wardrobe.

A moment later, there was a low curse from Dani, followed by the sound of things being fiercely thrown onto the bed.

Green tilted his head, pointed to the bedroom door, then to his ears, and then pointed back at the bedroom door, whispering, "I bet, he has discovered that he can no longer buckle his belt over his belly."

A few minutes later, Dani reappeared, carrying a bag, wearing dungarees and a short-sleeved shirt.

Dungarees.

Green couldn’t help but laugh.

Dani took a deep breath and then looked at Green, asking seriously, "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing, it looks good, uh, I suggest you go shopping for more clothes when you have time. You probably haven’t been out for a long time. I understand there’s not much choice in your wardrobe, also, the bag you’re carrying is a bit... mismatched. Is there something very important inside? If not, better not bring it."

Green was not as snarky this time, but his words still felt uncomfortable.

Dani sighed lightly, then held the bag in one hand and pulled open the zipper with the other, suddenly pulling out a sawed-off double-barreled shotgun, and said in a deep voice, "How do you expect me to handle this thing, huh?"

Green’s face showed surprise as he said, "Mr. Big Eye, you still kept Mr. Big Eye? Alright, that’s good, I’m relieved to see you’ve kept your signature weapon."

A side-by-side, with barrels cut even with the fore-end, and when aimed at someone’s head from the front, looks like a clown with huge eyes, hence the nickname Mr. Big Eye.

Mr. Big Eye has another explanation, which is that this kind of gun always makes a big hole in a person, so it’s called Mr. Big Eye.

Whatever the reason, the gun is indeed big.

The gun in Dani’s hand clearly had years on it, the shotgun stock was sawed off leaving just a small section of handle for one-hand grip, made of wood, now shining dark brown, clearly often used.

The muzzle was also polished very smooth, and the mottled marks on the fore-end showed it was not just for show, it was frequently used and often bumped into things.

With an overall length of just thirty-something centimeters, it’s large for a pistol but short for a sawed-off shotgun, short to the point of being difficult to control.

Dani spun the sawed-off shotgun in his hand, then placed it back in the bag, saying, "Let’s go!"

The four of them got up, left the apartment Dani had lived in for many years, got into the car, and started driving towards Kir’s home.

It’s tough competing with others, with the French setting a precedent, the British couldn’t help but hurry.

The Directorate-General for External Security sent a French national treasure, Black Gloves, to Gao Yi, while the Military Intelligence Sixth Department sent a retired British national treasure agent to Gao Yi.

If you’re going to compete, you have to go all the way, in terms of reputation, strength, and efficiency, everything must keep up.

Apart from the appearance, there isn’t much of an issue.

A few people entered, and Collins stood up in shock.

As the captain of the action team, standing guard wasn’t a big deal, but seeing a former top agent and idol turn into this pathetic state, Collins couldn’t accept it.

"Captain? How did you become... like this?!"

He tried to stop halfway through his sentence, but realizing he couldn’t hold back, he decided to just say it outright.

Indeed, Collins found it a bit hard to accept.

Well, let’s say.

Dani is not tall, and he seems even shorter after gaining weight, but Tom Cruise isn’t tall either, yet that doesn’t stop him from being a famous handsome guy and a global superstar.

Dani used to be very handsome, not quite like Tom Cruise, but really handsome.

It’s precisely because he was handsome before that it makes it even harder for everyone to accept his current ghastly appearance.

Dani glanced at Collins and coldly said: "Well, Director, Chief, Action Team Captain, former captain, the core of Military Intelligence Sixth Department from ten years ago are all here, great."

No matter how impressive Dani’s speech seemed, his words were evasive.

He just didn’t want people staring at his belly or looking at him with strange eyes.

Seeing Collins about to speak again, Dani whispered, "I will lose weight! Shut up!"

Collins spread his hands helplessly.

Kir looked at his watch and said, "It’s 6:20, a bit early, shall we wake him up now?"

"Wake him up, I’ll go, it doesn’t matter if it’s early or late, what we need is efficiency, efficiency!"

Green felt a bit tired, but he still briskly went upstairs.

Just as Green was about to knock on Gao Yi’s door, he felt something strange behind him; he turned and saw Sith half-emerging from the neighboring room’s doorway, tilting his head and smiling at him.

The guillotine, still as elusive as ever.

Green turned back and continued to knock on the door, ignoring Sith.

The door was knocked on, and soon, Gao Yi responded with a groggy voice: "Who is it?"

"Come out for a bit, someone needs to see you, if possible, speak about the target in London."

Green made his instructions clear because he wanted Gao Yi to be fully prepared both physically and mentally.

Be ready to follow Dani immediately and witness Dani’s capabilities.

Gao Yi came down to the living room.

Then Gao Yi saw Dani.

Not sure if it’s a destiny-like encounter, but Gao Yi’s first impression upon seeing Dani was that this fat guy looked odd.

With a big belly, wearing suspenders, exposing white socks on his ankles, and paired with a slightly tight short-sleeved white shirt, Gao Yi found the sight somewhat displeasing.

After scanning him with a scrutinizing glance, Gao Yi then smiled and nodded at Dani, saying, "Hello."

Dani appeared even more surprised, but there was no unusual expression on his face; he just nodded back at Gao Yi and slightly tilted his head looking at Kir.

The message in his eyes was clear, how is it such a young person, and an Asian?

Then, Dani looked at Green and slightly frowned, his facial muscles twitching slightly.

Even without reading micro-expressions, it could be seen that Dani was thinking how low they’ve stooped, needing to suck up to a kid now.

Gao Yi didn’t want to know what Dani was thinking; he was just woken up to meet this fat man.

At that moment, Green finally said, "It’s still early, but I think it’s better to take care of the target in London sooner rather than later. Dani is our best top agent! If you’re interested, why not go with him, you can see how he operates, how about it?"

Green issued the invitation to Gao Yi, but Gao Yi immediately said, "Uh? Forget it, I’d rather sleep a bit more, you guys can handle this small matter, I don’t need to go, right?"

Gao Yi has become lazy.

Green was slightly astonished, but he immediately put on a stern face and said, "Go on, see how an assassin works."

Gao Yi rubbed his eyes, hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright then, let’s go, uh, are we all going?"

Collins immediately said, "I’ll go, I’ll follow along, um, not to help, just to... watch."

Obviously, Collins didn’t quite trust Dani.

Dani was uncomfortable, he was a bit angry, but more than that, he wanted to prove himself, so he promptly said, "Then let’s all go, the more the audience, the better, everyone go! You too."

Dani was referring to Sith.
