Chapter Nine, One Year, One Hundred Million, One Miracle

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

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
