Chapter Nine, One Year, One Hundred Million, One Miracle
Good morning, Gwen
Generally speaking, such urgent orders are relatively complex, yet they are also the simplest
Hawk's class this morning is different from Lorna's, so they are not in the same classroom. After all, Lorna is still taking her eleventh-grade biology class.
Gwen once again gave Hawk a big eye roll, tucked her hair behind her ear, sat up straight, and exuded an air that could be summed up in one word
That Lauren Strack is a twelfth-grade student at a prestigious school in the Upper East Side
Do not disturb me, I need to study seriously
geometry
Isn't it just a matter of lacking over ninety million in hard-earned money? With some effort, why not simply take on one order per week
It is said, why do you have such a talent for foreign languages, such as German, Russian, Spanish, and even Eastern languages, yet why do you lack talent in mathematics
Hawke originally intended to say that this Lauren was not a student from the Upper East Side schools, so it was impossible for her to come to their school. However, noticing the expression on Zoe's face, he abruptly changed his tone: "I remember that among the students from the Star Tower, it seems you are the only one."
At this moment, Gwen is not just Gwen, but rather the highly renowned academic achiever in New York City, the flagship student of Midtown High School's admissions in recent years, and the celebrated academic prodigy among the students, known as the academic deity Gwen
Gwen, who was sitting beside with her head down reading a book, looked at the teacher walking in from the door, put away her book, and then glanced at Hawk beside her, who seemed lost in thought about something. She frowned and directly nudged Hawk's calf with her foot.
Very lacking
If one were to ask which subject Hawke dislikes the most, without a doubt, it would be mathematics. Any category within it is something that Hawke detests.
Hawke blinked and looked at Gwen, who was closing her notebook beside him
Even if one has evaded the wave of the Chery Tarians, what about the crisis of Thanos's snap that followed
This person's foreign language proficiency is remarkably high
Hawke instantly regained his focus and saw the biology teacher with a stern reputation walking in. He glanced at Gwen beside him, and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted.
And at present
They are not familiar with each other at school
Just thinking about it makes Zoe feel a sense of dread
Hawke felt that he could do it too
A sentence
What if it goes wrong
Zoe reluctantly closed her eyes, unable to bear the thought of what she might see. If it were truly the case, what kind of treatment would the beautiful Lady Catherine Strack and her little companion Lauren Strack face
The most important day
Moreover, he was a professional assassin who was kidnapped, and even more so, he was abducted from the Star Building, which is famously known as the 'Little Langley of Manhattan'
I miss you
He has conducted investigations; if he had been informed in advance that someone named Lauren Strack would transfer to Midtown High School, he would not have used his classmates as an excuse, even if he was not familiar with them
Yes
Hawke walked to his position, greeted Gwen who was sitting beside him with her head down reading a book, and then there was nothing more.
I have French class next period, how about you
Hawke listened to Gwen's French words of good luck, reining in the pained expression on his face regarding geometry, and replied with a smile: "Thank you, if my suffering can bring you happiness."
This is not.
Hawke is short on money
Fool, what are you thinking about
God
Hawke has conducted an investigation
However, Hawk is not an ordinary assassin
The complexity arises from the fact that very few assassins would take on such urgent contracts. After all, being busy can lead to mistakes, and assassins are no exception. Even if the information provided by the employer is complete, the assassin will still conduct their own investigation to ensure that there are no hidden issues with the contract
Gwen looked at Hawk, whose expression was somewhat pained, and revealed a faint smile, then said in French with a smile: "Bonne chance (Wishing you good luck)"
This is indeed a kidnapping
But how can we know it won't work if we don't try it?
Forty-five minutes later
Hawke listened to Zoe's words and caught one key term within them
Therefore
However, due to the urgent addition of an order, I need to meet this afternoon to collect the relevant materials
Because I have not encountered anyone who can give me this ability
Teacher
Never mind, it's nothing
Gwen raised her eyebrows; she had actually already completed her foreign language credits, and French was merely a course she had chosen last month. However, she was well aware that Hawke's French was very authentic, even carrying the genuine accent of old Paris.
What the hell
Zoe nodded: "Yes, Lauren was originally from an elite school in the Upper East Side, but her grades were not good, so Mrs. Strack found our school's board member. Today was supposed to be Lauren's first day at the new school, but who would have thought such a thing would happen."
Hawke is somewhat curious about the objective of this urgent order
Gwen did not even glance at Hawk
Good morning, Hawk
Thanos's snap is the fairest, as all beings are equal, with everyone having a fifty-fifty chance.
Gwen shot Hawk a glance without leaving a trace
fool
Hawke also took out his biological book and placed it on the table, while waiting for the teacher to arrive, he contemplated the meeting he had scheduled with his assassin agent at noon today
How to hide
It seems that the reason Lady Strack was able to call the police was not due to luck, but rather because the assassin had a sense of professional ethics
But can one hide for a moment and hide for a lifetime
In the words of Gwen
What if this is a killer without professional ethics, or rather, what if an unscrupulous criminal has entered?
Arrive at the biology classroom
This Lauren ... ...
The order from last night has been approved, and the commission of 300,000 has already been withdrawn by his assassin agent. Originally, after deducting a 30% fee, the remaining commission of 210,000 was supposed to be directly transferred to Hawk's overseas bank account.
The Hawke's notebook is blank, while Gwen's notebook next door is already filled with over three pages of notes.
What if it doesn't work
Students all know that on the eve of the new school year, a pen, a lamp, and a miracle await you
However
It is still the same statement
Although there is still a slight distance from the one hundred million hard-earned money
After all, if he wants to find someone familiar with the Star Building, why go far when he can seek someone nearby
Hawke: "... ..."
At that moment
But ... ...
It is now the year 2011, and next year will be the year when the Chery Taren attacks Earth. Although next year, Hawke can directly escape from New York
Hawke did not want to stake his life on this fifty percent probability, after all, he was not a being of this universe. Who knows if he would be resurrected alongside Iron Man's snap six months after the crisis of the snap.
Hawk had a sudden thought; even if a master of disguise were to come, they would have to leave on their knees due to the disguise he donned last night. After all, last night, Hawk had even altered his own demeanor.
... ...
Hawke listened to Zoe's words, feeling somewhat speechless.
If one does not strive in youth, one will only regret in old age
Is there so much to say
In one year, one hundred million, and one gun, there is indeed the possibility of creating miracles
