Chapter 29 Kingpin Calls: New Mission?
Because of the two times he saved her life, Gwen's love for Toby had reached its peak, and having no way to repay him, Gwen could only offer herself to him...
And so everything happened just like that...
However, the process did not take as long as I had imagined, at least not as long as the non-stop all night long in female-oriented CEO novels.
First, because Toby isn't a domineering CEO.
Secondly, it's because Gwen is number one.
Toby is a seasoned veteran, while Gwendo is like a new field being cultivated for the first time.
So before nightfall, Gwen was already fast asleep, while Toby lit a cigarette on the hotel balcony.
However, Toby had only taken two puffs of his cigarette when his phone rang.
When I picked it up, I saw it was Kingpin calling, who hadn't contacted me for almost two weeks.
Normally, Jin wouldn't bother him unless there was nothing wrong.
So it seems like we've got more business coming in.
They just spent ten million US dollars on custom-made suits for him and Peter, and now it seems like they can recoup their losses.
So Toby smiled, picked up his phone, and answered, "My dear tycoon, what good job do you have for me this time?"
Kingpin's hearty laughter came through the phone: "Hahaha, dear Toby, you guessed right! This time, there really is a big job that requires your personal attention, and it's even bigger than the last time I gave you to wipe out the Japanese gang!"
Toby's eyes lit up when he heard this!
You should know that the last time Kingpin asked him to wipe out the Japanese gang, he offered ten million US dollars, which was the highest commission he had ever received!
After all, missions like wiping out an entire gang aren't something that happen all the time.
Under normal circumstances, Kingpin's job is just to take down a gang leader, and a commission of several million is already considered a lot!
Only high-intensity tasks like wiping out an entire gang can yield commissions exceeding ten million.
This is a really big job!
Make one thing, and you can live off it for a whole year!
Therefore, Toby didn't even ask what the mission was, and directly said, "I accept the mission. Tell me the location, the objective, and most importantly, the commission!"
Kim, on the other end of the phone, wasn't surprised that Toby agreed to take on the task without even asking what it was.
This wasn't the first time Toby had done this; usually, as long as the commission was high enough, there was no task Toby couldn't complete.
This is one of the reasons why Kingpin values Toby so much: if Toby is paid enough, he can be more reliable than all of Kingpin's men combined!
And he, Kingpin, Wilson Fisk, the emperor of the underworld, the head of the Fisk Corporation, has no shortage of money!
Moreover, it wasn't a bad deal for Toby to carry out those assassination missions against his enemies.
On the contrary, he could also use Toby to assassinate those leaders, seize their gangs, and gain more money and territory!
This is a mutually beneficial deal!
Thinking of this, Kingpin's smile deepened, and he decided to mention money, which was what Toby was most interested in, before even discussing the mission itself:
"Let's not rush to discuss the details of the task. Let me tell you about the commission amount first. It's a whopping fifty million US dollars."
Upon hearing this, Toby remained silent for several seconds before speaking: "So, do you want me to kill the President of the United States, or the Secretary of Defense?"
Now it was Kingpin's turn to fall silent.
Kingpin sighed, "No, no, why would I want to kill the president and the defense minister? Even if I did, I wouldn't be able to get elected right now..."
"To tell you the truth, Toby, this mission isn't just a personal matter for me. Someone contacted me through special channels and wants my help."
"Moreover, this mission isn't the kind of assassination missions you usually like to carry out; it's a rescue mission."
"That's why I wanted to tell you the type of task first and ask if you would accept it, rather than assuming you would accept it and directly informing you of the task details."
Toby frowned. "A rescue mission? Rescue whom? Don't tell me it's the president or the secretary of defense. If it's them, send them as far away as possible to die."
To be honest, he never liked doing any of those damn rescue missions.
Because these kinds of tasks are usually long and tedious, and there may also be some after-sales risks.
Assassination missions are different. You just need to take out the target and that's it. You don't have to worry about any after-sales issues. It's 100% satisfactory!
Therefore, Kingpin, who knew his personality, would only assign him assassination missions in the past.
However, this time, Toby felt he might have to overcome his aversion to trouble, because the other party had given him just too much!
A full fifty million!
He had to wipe out five gangs to earn that money!
Kingpin rubbed his temples and sighed, "Sigh, Toby, are you really going to go against the President and the Secretary of Defense like this...?"
"You know, according to the rules of the trade, I can't tell a hired assassin the details of a mission, let alone who the target is, without having accepted the mission. But since you're the one asking, my most trusted friend."
"So I'll just tell you straight: this mission is going abroad, it's in Afghanistan, and the target we're rescuing is Tony Stark, the CEO of Stark Industries."
"Tony Stark?" Toby raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, then suddenly relaxed.
I initially thought it was some disgusting politician who had such a high net worth, but it turns out he's the head of an American arms dealer whose net worth is even higher than that of a politician!
However, Toby was still curious and asked, "I can take this mission, but I have two questions."
Kingpin immediately replied, "Go on."
Toby asked casually:
"First, Tony Stark has disappeared? How come I've never even heard of such important news?"
"Secondly, as the president of Stark Industries, isn't a commission of fifty million US dollars a bit too low? He's worth far more than fifty million, isn't he?"
"You didn't secretly pocket 90% of my commission, did you?"
Kingpin answered Toby's two questions, and said helplessly:
"The first question is, Tony Stark has indeed disappeared, and has been missing for over two months..."
"But don't say you had no news. Before today, even I hadn't received any news because Stark Industries had kept it under wraps."
"The second problem isn't that Tony Stark is only worth fifty million, but that the people who want to save him can only come up with fifty million, and I didn't even take a cut of the commission!"
"This employment assignment wasn't commissioned by Stark Industries, but rather secretly commissioned to me by Tony Stark's personal secretary, Pepper Potts."
"However, she herself said that this is all the wealth she can offer. If you can really save Tony Stark, I believe Tony Stark himself will give you a lot of benefits."
