After 100,000 simulated crimes, I became an ace detective.

ten minutes later.

No. 10, who was sure that he had escaped in time and was completely safe, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Picking up the mobile phone that had just been hastily thrown in the passenger seat, he dialed number one.

Although this temporary action made her a traitor to the poker organization, she was not sure whether she could still get the $1 billion reward.

But at the very least... she has to ensure that she gets the $100 million bounty belonging to No. 1. As for the subsequent heads of other members, she can only make plans slowly.

After waiting a few seconds.

Number 1 on the other end of the phone finally picked up the call.

Before Number 1 could say anything, Number 10 spoke in extremely serious words.

"No. 1, the situation has changed."

"K just asked me to move my position inexplicably. There are obviously professional killers outside, but he still asked me to move so suddenly."

"I think... they probably can't wait any longer and want to use us in exchange for the bounty."

"So, I just took the first opportunity to escape from the villa where J, Q, and K were staying, and acted according to the previous plan in advance."

"Although this is a betrayal of the poker organization, there is no way... They already want to take action against us. If they continue to wait, they will probably have to wait for death."

"No. 1, where are you currently? I'm going to find you and escape from this damn New York together."

now.

No. 1 in an upscale apartment somewhere in Queens.

After hearing No. 10's words, the whole person fell into a state of confusion, with some unspeakable doubts in his eyes.

Because, just before the phone call on the 10th, he received a call from K.

It was said that... he was needed to assist in a mission, and he was rushing towards his hiding place, so that we could work together for the future of the poker organization.

This phone call was undoubtedly very suitable for No. 10's words, which made No. 1 feel that... he had been abandoned by the poker organization, even if it was to be exchanged for a reward of 100 million US dollars.

But coincidentally, he also received a message from Q, saying that... Number 10 has betrayed the poker organization, and everyone must believe her words.

Intellectually speaking.

No. 1 wants to believe No. 10 more, because no matter K or Q's information, it seems that... No. 10 does the extreme act of betraying the organization because he does not want to be a victim.

But from an emotional point of view, he didn't want to believe that... K, who regarded the members of the poker organization as his family and was devastated by the news of No. 8's death, would do something like exchanging himself for a reward.

Moreover, the apartment he currently lives in was also bought for him by the arrogant Q.

After hesitating for a moment.

No. 1 deliberately used a shocked tone and answered extremely anxiously.

"tenth."

"I can't tell you where it is now, because K just called me and said he was coming to find me."

"I think... maybe they are also planning to trade me for a reward. I need to leave the apartment where I am hiding first, and then tell you the specific location after it is safe."

"That's it for now, I need to pack up and leave quickly."

After saying these words.

Number 1 was the first to answer the call and hung up the phone without hesitation, then chose to dial K's number.

The waiting tone sounds.

When K picked up, Number 1 asked in a very serious tone with a somewhat disappointed tone.

"Brother K."

"I just logged into the dark web and saw the news about the huge reward from the Morgan consortium."

"So I'm a little scared now. Can you please tell me, tell me the truth... What are you going to do when you come to me this time?"

The words fell.

K on the other end of the phone was obviously silent for a few seconds, and then apologized in an extremely hoarse and low tone.

"I'm sorry, number one."

"I shouldn't hide it from you. The purpose of this operation is to use it as bait to lure the dog Su Ming out and assist Reni in killing it."

"The location is in New York Harbor, so no matter whether the mission is successful or not, the person who acts as a bait... there is a high probability that there will be only one ending."

"The people who went to serve as bait this time include me, J, No. 9, and Riley. You are not the only one."

"Sorry, I hid this from you before..."

Not finished yet.

Number 1, who received this answer, immediately spoke anxiously.

"Brother K."

"I don't want to... I don't want to die yet."

"If possible, could you exclude me from this mission? I really don't want it to end like this."

Hearing this cry from No. 1.

K, who was already extremely uncomfortable and felt that he was sending his family to the execution ground with his own hands, sighed heavily and comforted him in a gentle tone.

"Don't be nervous, number one."

"I understand what you are thinking. Don't worry, I will never take you to New York Harbor again, nor will I go to the apartment where you live."

"Now that we Westerners are used as bait, the number may be enough. I'm sorry, I didn't ask you what you think before."

"If you have any questions later, just go to Q first."

"Although I still don't know what the outcome of this operation will be, I will try my best to allow you to continue to live in New York safely."

"No. 1, for the future of our poker organization, we must work harder in the future."

When this last sentence falls.

K then hung up the phone. From the beginning to the end, he always regarded the members of the poker organization as his most precious family members.

Even if No. 1 doesn't want to be a bait and wants to continue living, he will choose to disobey the professor's orders.

This is...King K.

But after K hung up the phone, No. 1, who got the accurate answer, had an indescribably depressed and sinister look in his eyes, and murmured to himself.

"Sure enough, I am the least valued person in the poker organization."

"Worthless, the bottom of the entire poker organization, the eternal number one."

"Even if I were to be chosen as the bait, I would be put first. Even if it hadn't been for this pleading phone call, K wouldn't have told me the details, and would have just silently taken me to that damn New York. Hong Kong ends this life.”

"Everyone can step on my head without thinking about what I think."

this moment.

As if No. 1 had made up his mind, he dialed No. 10's number again.

Just got through.

The phone was picked up, and No. 10's somewhat puzzled words came out.

"Number one."

"Aren't you about to run away? Why did you call again..."

I haven’t waited for No. 10 to finish asking.

Number 1, with gloomy eyes, said slowly in an extremely cold voice.

"tenth."

"The Morgan consortium's huge bounty should not have personnel restrictions. We can get it as long as we complete the mission objectives, right?"

"Then do you want to join me and find an opportunity to solve the other digital cards and get a huge reward that will be enough for us to spend the rest of our lives..."
