Chapter 219 Respecting the Master and Respecting Arthur
This news...

It can't be said that it is unbelievable, it can only be said that it is somewhat unexpected.

the next day.

Chester Restaurant!
Locke got off the Audi R8, and not far away, Carrie was beckoning, nodding.

walked over.

"When did you come back?"

"The day before yesterday."

Locke said so, and looked at Carrie: "How are you and Betty doing as an intern at New York's No. [-] TV station?"

Carrie said, "Very well."

After changing a city, it is really like changing a different life.

Comparing it with New York, Carrie felt almost every time that Augusta was undoubtedly a hell, moreover, it was a living hell.

into Chester's office.

Open the door.

Smoky.

"Huh!"

Locke waved his hand, and in an instant, the smoke inside roared out like a long dragon: "Old man, are you planning to taste the taste of cancer?"

Good guy.

Locke took a step back and pointed outside: "I won't go in."

Chester came out of the thick fog, with a cigarette in his mouth, with a slightly sighed expression.

10 minute later.

Locke found out what had happened from Chester.

Arthur is killing Harry.

but……

It was Harry who first betrayed the Assassin Company he was working for, so the Assassin Company let Arthur deal with Harry himself, which could be regarded as preserving Harry's last dignity, and at the same time, giving Arthur a face.

If you want to let other people, these days, there are many killers who want to be promoted, and the tricks are not comparable to traditional killers like Locke.

If Harry was handed over to the new generation of killers, it is estimated that Harry would die without dignity.

Chester looked at the Hudson River at his feet, sighed, and shook his head: "This guy was set up by someone, and he leaked the information of more than a dozen killers in his company. As a result, they The company suffered heavy losses."

Locke nodded: "That's an unjust death."

If you say that the company wants to kill you for no reason, it would be wrong.

But betraying one's own people, leaking company secrets, no matter what, it was your fault first, so, can you be called wronged if you die?
Harry was dead.

Therefore, Arthur couldn't bear to do it anymore, but after knowing that Harry must die, in order to prevent other killers from causing Harry to die without dignity, he chose to send Harry away decently.

A headshot.

Locke put down what Chester handed over. Harry was sitting in a wheelchair, shot through the eyebrows, shot GG's photo, and sighed: "The world is changing so fast, we were talking about having dinner together two days ago."

It was fine two days ago, but in the blink of an eye, everyone was gone.

And, it's kind of suicide.

Commit suicide in fear of sin.

Because the company had embezzled funds, the company had already found out, so Harry quietly came to the parking lot, and then shot himself.

As a mechanic, what I like most is to pretend to be an accident.

Locke smoked the cigar in his hand and looked at Chester: "For the funeral, I'll just go there, but you don't go there, I'll help you take me there."

Chester nodded: "I didn't intend to go there."

He's retired.

Retire without reservation.

The reason why he was a little melancholy was because he felt that there was one less old friend who lived a secret life with him at the same time as him, so he was melancholy.

That's it.

Five days later.

Locke appeared in the New Jersey cemetery, glanced at Arthur next to him, put the bouquet in his hand on the ground, looked, there was not even a photo on it, only the tombstone with Harry McKenna's name written on it shook his head.

Chester and him are the kind who completely separate their career and life.

But most killers have turned their careers into their lives. To put it simply, they don't have many friends.

That's what happened to Harry.

Even the burial was done without a priest.

There are only a few cemetery staff shoveling the soil silently.

Other than that, there are only Locke and Arthur.

Arthur looked at the two bouquets of flowers that Locke put down and said thank you.

"I am sorry for your loss."

"Thank you."

Locke frowned and said, "I remember, Harry seems to have a son..."

talking room.

At this moment, a man with a crew cut, beard, and wearing a leather jacket, smoking a cigarette, walked over from a short distance away, and handed over some change that was left over after paying the money at the cemetery management office. and the receipt stuffed back into his pocket.

Then, I saw Arthur over the tombstone.

"Onishet!"

Harry McKenna's son, Steve McKenna saw Arthur, threw away the cigarette butt in his hand, and shook hands with Arthur: "God damn Arthur Bishaw, long time no see."

Arthur was expressionless: "My condolences will change."

Steve McKenna pulled a smile: "No, he spends more time with you than with me."

then.

Steve McKenna just left.

He walked very freely. After all, Harry is dead, but there are still a lot of things behind him, such as the bank and the house.

a lot of.

It's messy, and at the same time, messy.

Arthur turned around and looked at the departing Steve McKenna, his eyes flickering slightly.

Locke came out again and looked at Arthur: "I thought you were a serious killer, but I didn't expect that you are not serious, are you guilty?"

This is not good.

A cold-blooded killer suddenly has other emotions, either, he has failed, or he is playing some evil tricks.

Arthur glanced at Locke: "If it were you, would you?"

Locke shook his head: "No."

Because Chester will not betray him, Locke is very sure about this, as long as Chester does not betray him, as Locke said, Chester will die in retirement, whoever dares to stop him from doing so, he dares to let that person know , What is human suffering!
No one can stop Locke from fulfilling his promise, not even the person involved.

Again.

The nature is also different.

Locke looked at Arthur curiously: "What's going on?"

Chester simply said that Harry was set up by someone and lost a lot of money, so he could only make some money by selling company information.

Arthur was expressionless: "Harry participated in a gamble, but was laundered. Half a month ago, he was diagnosed with cancer. In order to save some money for Steve, he thought of taking risks, getting some money, and keeping money. To Steve."

Locke shook his head without making any comments.

after all……

The dead are the greatest.

Locke looked at Steve who was wandering back and forth in the parking lot not far away, and looked at Arthur next to him: "Okay, I'm leaving. If you need help, you know my mobile phone number."

Arthur nodded, looked at Locke who turned and left, and then, staring at the people on the other side of the parking lot, he didn't know what he was thinking, and walked towards the parking lot.

half a month later.

Early August.

Locke was in the newspaper and saw a bizarre death case published in the New York Daily News.

Of course.

For others, it was just a very unfortunate accident.

no doubt.

This group of people must be the other people in the gambling game. After all, after Arthur killed Harry, he finally wanted to find someone to vent his anger on. So, what is more suitable than this guy who brought Harry to a gambling point of no return? .

but……

What interested Locke even more was another thing.

Arthur called and told Locke that he had a disciple.

The disciple's name is Steve, Steve McKenna.

WTF?

what do you think.

Locke thought so in his heart, and at the same time, on the second day, he drove a motorboat and arrived at Arthur's residence on a small island in a lake in Maryland. When he saw Arthur who greeted him at the pier, he asked the same question : "Are you out of your mind?"

I really feel that killing a master feels good, so if you plan to train an apprentice, try killing it too?
"He came looking for me."

"Ha ha."

Locke went directly to the island. Hearing this sentence, he smiled happily: "If you are really guilty, just give him 100 million. For you, 100 million is not too much."

Arthur didn't answer this sentence, and smiled: "According to the agreement, he is my disciple, so please."

Locke was expressionless.

Locke behind the sunglasses rolled his eyes.

This is where the master-apprentice inheritance model is not good.

After all, it is not enough to rely on a master to cultivate a killer. At the very least, a teacher is also needed. If one only relies on a master, it will be somewhat biased and cannot be fully developed.

However, although Locke didn't really need it, he had received systematic training on accidental killings from Arthur's master, the dead Harry.

According to the ancient rules of agreement, if Arthur has a disciple, then, just as Chester's master trained Harry and Harry trained Locke, Locke needs to be responsible for training Arthur's disciple.

Similarly, when Locke has a disciple, Arthur also needs to come over to help train him.

However, Locke felt that he might not have any disciples in his life.

but……

Locke listened to Arthur's words, snorted and smiled, and realized what kind of trick Arthur was trying to play: "You are not guilty, you are disheartened, and you plan to retire."

Arthur's blood was cold.

Colder than his blood.

Therefore, Locke would not believe that Arthur would really accept Steve as his apprentice because of some guilt.

What's more, he had seen the movie The Mechanic.

In a word.

Arthur is not guilty, but disheartened, planning to retire.

Different from other industries, killers don't mean that they can retire after retirement. After all, it is not difficult for killers to retire.

The reason why Chester was able to retire cleanly was actually because he had staged a feigned death, which was why he retired cleanly.

That's all, thanks to Chester being a freelance killer, not a corporate killer, retirement would be easier.

But Arthur?
Arthur wants to retire, even if he agrees, his company probably won't agree.
