Chapter 244 Help

Chen Ke took a taxi to Lafite Road. The car radio broadcast the late night news, which was about the recent impact of foreign consortiums on the United Federation stock market and business community.

Half an hour later, Chen Ke arrived at the door of Lester's clothing store.

It was already early in the morning, but the commercial street of Lafite Road was still crowded with people. It was the only relatively lively place in Opportunity City.

Lester did not expect Chen Ke to come. When he saw Chen Ke standing at the door, he showed a surprised expression on his face. He closed the shop, took Chen Ke to the back room, and made two cups of coffee.

"The professor is no longer a problem." Chen Ke took the coffee and sat on the chair.

"Well... So, you talked to him?" Lester sat opposite Chen Ke.

"When I found him, he was talking to a woman who called him professor and seemed to be from an organization called the Foundation..." Chen Ke said.

Lester hummed and sipped the coffee.

"Do you know anything?" Chen Ke asked tentatively.

"Chen Ke... there are some things that even I don't know too well. And knowing too much is not a good thing..." Lester warned.

"You always say that, but I think this concealment has put me in some danger. That woman doesn't look like a pushover. I saw three bodies in the villa's swimming pool... That woman seemed to be protecting the professor." Chen Ke said.

"I... don't deny it. Our sources of information are limited, and there are too many interference factors. We don't know what you will encounter..." Lester said.

"At least let me know who I'm killing for and who I'm killing..." Chen Ke said.

Lester was silent for a while, his hand holding the coffee cup trembling slightly, thinking for a long time, and finally raised his head and looked at Chen Ke.

"Well, I shouldn't have told you, but given the adverse consequences of this behavior on your actions, it is very likely to lead to the failure of the assassination... I don't think the employer will have any complaints..." Lester said.

Chen Ke leaned back in his chair, holding the coffee in both hands, and narrowed his eyes.

"We are not employed by a fixed employer. The assassination deals for the first three targets came from the Spirit Enterprise Alliance of the United Federation. The employer for the three targets this time is from the Phoenix Republic, and is the CEO of a large industrial consortium. You don't need to know the name." Lester said.

Chen Ke listened quietly. The information Lester told him answered his question, but it was useless. There are so many spiritual enterprises in the United Federation, and no one knows which enterprises are allied.

The targets of the assassination have no direct correlation. Why did the spiritual enterprises want to assassinate them? Lester certainly didn't know this. After all, the killer only needs to know the purpose, and the employer's motive is always a secret.

The second employer is from the Phoenix Republic... Chen Ke suddenly remembered the conversation between the woman and the professor. They mentioned an industrial consortium CEO named Li Moyang... And in the last assassination mission, a certain target also talked on the phone with a man named Li...

Could it be such a coincidence that it is the same person? Chen Ke tried to connect the meager information he had.

Professor, save the world, foundation, founder... The source of this string of information came from the mysterious woman.

On the other hand, the man surnamed Li hired assassins to kill the professor and two other targets. Would the three of them be the unreachable people in the foundation's plan?

What role did the CEO of the consortium who was on the phone with the man surnamed Li play in the whole thing...? The three bodies left by Asra in the villa swimming pool proved that they were also hostile to the foundation...

Several major forces emerged in Chen Ke's mind, the company, Asra, the foundation, and the man surnamed Li. Everything has their purpose.

As part of the company, what kind of responsibility does the Si Consortium bear? What is the Terror Whip exploring under the sea? What is the green gem? What are they exploring in the void?

Chen Ke felt that he was one step closer. Although he still didn't know the purpose of these organizations, at least he had sorted out their relationship now.

Asra and the Si Consortium cooperated openly, but in fact they were also doing some actions in private. It was obvious that they were trying to grab the gems that the company had entrusted to the Si Consortium.

The Foundation and Asra should be in a hostile relationship. The specific details are unknown, but from the conversation between the mysterious woman and the professor, the Foundation is now looking for a key figure called the founder, and Asra wants to kill the Foundation's informant who knows this information.

What is the purpose of the man surnamed Li as a force from the Phoenix Republic? It seems that the company is getting rid of people who have contact with him, and the man surnamed Li is also against the Foundation.

This buddy is working on both sides, which is a bit reckless. Maybe there is a bigger force behind him to support him...

"The other two targets... I will try my best to help you get more information, so that you don't encounter uncontrollable situations again, Chen Ke, you see... I don't want these little episodes to affect our cooperative relationship." Lester said.

Lester didn't know what Chen Ke was thinking at the moment. Seeing his uncertain expression, he thought Chen Ke was dissatisfied with him.

"Hmm?" Chen Ke suddenly pulled himself out of his thoughts and took a sip of coffee.

"Hmm... nothing." Lester noticed that Chen Ke was distracted just now, so he didn't say much and drank a sip of coffee.

Chen Ke put down his coffee cup. He wanted to ask Lester if he had any way to get psychic bullets, but he held back because it would undoubtedly expose his secret that he had a psychic pistol and was also a psychic.

His friendship with Lester was only at the level of PY transactions. Lester was an assassin middleman, and Chen Ke himself was a trigger puller, nothing more.

As long as someone is willing to pay, human life can also be priced.

At this time, his mobile phone vibrated briefly. Who would send him a message so late? Could it be Lucina?

Chen Ke put the mug on the table, took out his iPhone and looked at it. It was Shreli.

It was the woman he met after entering the black box Xijin Building. He also met her on the day of the bank robbery. If I remember correctly, her full name is Shreli Miles, a very rich girl.

Shreli wanted to pick up Chen Ke, and it seemed that she herself was not particularly decent, so Chen Ke didn't want to deal with her. It was so late, what was she doing sending a text message, just think about it and you know.

Unlike Sam, Diana and Lucina, these people knew his secrets, but Chen Ke believed that they would keep secrets for him. Shreli was different...

She knew a little too much. She saw herself falling into the light gate with the contracted demon, and then came back alive. Keeping this girl was an uncertain factor for him. Chen Ke's eyes turned cold and he wanted to kill her.

He unlocked his phone and opened the text message interface. He saw that the text message sent by Shreli was only a simple line:

"Tulip Apartment 1708, help!"
