After David fully understood the importance of the two identities, he felt that he had completely changed. He went from being a useless person who had nothing but low self-esteem to a person who now not only possessed unlimited wealth but also high status in the country.
With the combined identity of being an official member of Special Task Force Team A and Falcon Vulture Team, it could be said that the provincial and city cabinet ministers as well as the local military commanders needed to show respect to him.
Of course, what they had to pay to get such treatment was not comparable to ordinary people as they often had to risk their lives to go on missions.
Leeman and Lucas also told him that as long as he did not commit treason and harm the country and society, the Special Task Force and the Falcon would always support him.
After all, it was the country that supported the Special Task Force and the Falcon. Since the state supported him, he could also start his own plan and spend crazy money to earn luxury points.
Everything he had right now was based on his strength. If he didn't have the strength, would Leeman and Lucas really appreciate it?
Sure didn't!
Although David did not know his position well because his strength had increased too quickly, he had a strong mind power and he could sense that Leeman and Lucas were looking at him with endless admiration and excitement.
This, combined with the fact that Lucas wanted to include him in Team Vulture even though it meant fooling him, proved that he had great value.
In fact, David's original intention was only to join two large organizations and become a freelancer. The difference between freelancers and official members of elite teams is not small. In fact, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are different worlds.
However, he gained his strength from luxurious points, so all he needed to do right now was to earn more points to increase his strength. Even though he was extremely strong, it was far from enough. At the very least, he was much inferior to Lucas and Leeman. He could not relax as long as there was someone stronger than him.
When he increased his strength to the point where no one was stronger than him, then David could relax a little. When that happened, he would spend extravagant money in the Capital. He would randomly buy several houses in the Capital, a place where every inch of land was extremely expensive. At that time, his luxurious points would increase exponentially.
In addition, Pearl made even more luxurious points for her in Springfield. So, he believed that he could increase the strength of his mind as well right away. When the time came, his skills would level up as well.
While David was planning his next move in his room, inside the luxurious mansion in the Capital, Zachary was busy typing a special web address on the computer in his room.
He wasted a lot of effort to get that address. Moreover, he could only use it for one day, after which, this address was invalid.
After entering the website, he posted a message.
[Gift of 500 million to kill a Peak Tiger Ranker.
Location: Capital of Somerland.]
After he posted that, Zachary waited quietly. The special website he entered was on the dark web, the underground side of the Internet. There are all kinds of embarrassing deals going on here. It was all kind of murder or kidnapping, while the rewards offered would be huge.
People who will post missions on the dark web often have an extraordinary identity in the real world. It is possible for them to become important political leaders of a country, heirs to a consortium, or children of noble families. However, they would go undercover so that no one would know who they really were.
Meanwhile, the ones who received the mission would be the mercenary group that was at the top of the list of dungeons or super-killers that preferred to work alone.
Once the mission is accepted, the employer will send the money to the designated account on the platform. When both parties confirm that the mission has been completed, the platform will take a commission and then transfer the remaining money to the person who completed the mission.
If the mission fails, the money will be returned to the employer in full. Employers and people on missions won't meet all the time, and they won't get in touch. In this way, the identity of the employer will be better protected.
Since the formation of the dark web, mission failures have never had a devastating impact on employers. Therefore, the popularity of the dark web increased quite rapidly.
Today, the dark web has become a place that provides many mercenaries and assassins. Also, it would rank the mercenary and assassin groups according to the difficulty level of the mission and its completion.
The people who could reach the top rank were very famous people in the underground world. As for the dark web itself, all states insist on removing it. An important political leader of a country can be killed at any time because of its existence.
However, that can't help. Dark web addresses seem to change every day, and are maintained by the best hackers in the world, making it impossible to remove them completely. The dark web is getting stronger by the day.
Zachary is warned by T-man Stan that a ten-year appointment is imminent, and he should not get in trouble for now. He doesn't dare to fight Stan openly, but he doesn't want to let David off the hook. Therefore, the arrival of David in the Capital would be the perfect time to attack.
He decides to post a mission on the dark web as an employer so he can get an internationally famous assassin to get rid of David. It would be better if it worked. Even if it failed, he would not be affected too badly.
After waiting for some time, there was no response from the dark web which meant that no one accepted his mission. He's a little confused. From what he knew, the price to kill a peak Tiger Ranker would cost around 300 million dollars and he had raised the price to 500 million dollars.
Logically speaking, missions that offer nearly double the reward will soon be accepted on the dark web. He wanted it to be accepted as quickly as possible, which was why he increased his reward so much. He did not expect that no one would accept it even after nearly an hour.
'What's wrong?' Zachary's confused.
This was the first time he had posted a mission on the dark web.
What Zachary doesn't know is that not only are the abilities of the targets at play in the killings, their identities and locations are also taken into consideration.
These aspects play a big role. For example, when it came to the killing of a Peak Tiger Ranker, there would be a huge difference between a person who was only an individual with no power supporting them and a person who was the heir to a large family.
The price might even be ten times higher in the second case.
What Zachary posted was just a name without any personal information. In addition, it is also the capital of Somerland, which is considered forbidden by mercenaries and assassins.
Everyone knew that Somerland had a special organization to target mercenaries from abroad like them.
Assassins who work alone are a little better because their targets are smaller. Some of the braver ones would dare to come but most of them would not be able to return. Not many have managed to complete their missions here.
The mercenaries are even worse. They are unwilling to accept the mission in Somerland because they will go on a mission in a group. Sometimes, they even went to groups of more than ten people. They'll be easily spotted in Somerland, and it's too dangerous. Therefore, it is almost never worth it.
These people are not idiots. They still have to live to spend money, right?
Because of this, 500 million were unfit for them to risk coming to a forbidden land like Somerland.
Zachary started to become impatient after a long wait. He immediately contacted the dark web staff and asked what was going on. He didn't want to let the chance to see David get away with it.
As for why he had to do it in the Capital and not when David was in River City, he wanted to tell others that it was he who did it while they could not prove it. As long as there was no evidence, no one could do anything to her.
If it was done in River City, not everyone would suspect it, so wouldn't what he did be a waste?
What he wanted was not just to vent, but more importantly, it was to tell others that he should not be bullied, and if anyone was against him, they should be prepared to pay the price.
This was the trust he should have as the heir to Quinn in the Capital and also one of the eight great fighters of the T-Faction.
Because of David, he's been a laughing stock among the Capitals all this time. How would he continue to show his face in the Capital if he did not regain some of his prestige?
If something bad happened to David in the Capital this time, everyone would think that he was the one who did it, but there would be no proof. Not only would he regain his reputation, no one could do anything to him. He just needs to spend some money.
To him, as Quinn's heir, a few hundred million was a small sum of money. For someone with his status, money was a small matter, but his prestige was a big deal. As long as he could regain his prestige, it would be worth spending more money.
(What can I help you with?) The dark web staff sent Zachary a message.
(I want to ask why no one accepted the mission I just posted.) asked Zachary.
(Maybe there are all sorts of reasons why no one accepts it. I can't tell you specifically what's wrong with that.)
(Help me see that then. What's wrong with the mission I posted? It's my first time posting or I might not understand it too much. If there's a problem, I can fix it right away.) Zachary answered.
(Alright, please send me your mission code.)
Zachary looked at the code and sent it to the other party.
(4398.)
After some time, the other party replied. (Hello, according to the mission you posted, there are two problems. One, the information is incomplete.
Second, the target location was the Capital in Somerland and it was a place that most people did not want to visit. 500 million to kill the Peak Tiger Ranker was very high but if the location was the Capital in Somerland, it was the capital city of Somerland, then that's another story.)
(Then what should I do to get people to accept this mission? I can't change the location.)
(I suggest that you increase the value of the reward. That way there will probably be people willing to take risks.)
(Good thanks!)
After speaking to the dark web staff, Zachary understood that it was not easy to post missions.
After he thought about it, he thought it made sense because others would risk their lives to complete the missions he randomly posted. So of course, they need to understand the nature of the mission.
Then, Zachary changes the mission. He did not change anything but directly increased the value of the reward to a billion. He believed that there would be people willing to take risks with the temptation of money. A forbidden ground for mercenaries. That's just an excuse to raise prices.
In fact, to be honest, this place was definitely no more dangerous than the others. Indeed, after Zachary raised the price, people began to pay attention to his mission. One billion is a number that few people have never seen in their lives. Plus, missions on the dark web are ranked from highest to lowest prizes. The higher the bounty, the higher the list of missions to be performed. As such, Zachary's one billionth prize is now on the first page and ranked seventh.
Many people noticed this new mission but when they saw that its location was in the Capital of Somerland, most people decided to ignore it. It was a place where many mercenaries and assassins refused to leave.
There was a reason why the Capital of Somerland was called a forbidden land by mercenaries. This was an experience they had gained with their blood. Of course, there are some brave newbies and crazy people who underestimate this. What forbidden land? They don't believe.
These people were eager to make a name for themselves in the international underground world. Plus, the one billion prize is worth the risk.
As long as they accomplish this, they will be able to live freely and happily anywhere on this earth even if they stop working altogether. Therefore, many people ask about this mission but most of them are inexperienced beginners.
Today, the staff of the dark web will choose the most suitable person to carry out this mission based on their previous results and abilities. There will be no case where there will be many people who carry out the same mission. If that happened, it would be difficult to ascertain who completed the mission after that
done that.
Others could only accept this mission after a precious person failed to carry it out. After confirming the person who was going to carry out this mission, the staff contacted Zachary.
He needs to provide some basic information about the target such as gender, height, age, photo, and the place where the target will be frequented. It's all provided by Howard. Once everything is done, Zachary still needs to transfer a billion to the specified account on the dark web.
This is to prevent the employer from escaping after the mission is completed and refusing to pay. After the reward was received, the staff said that the person performing this task would arrive at the Capital three days later. He will then update Zachary info one week later regardless of the mission results. Zachary thought everything was ready and he only needed to wait until David was in the Capital so that he could deal a fatal blow to him.
Dark web is very popular in the international underground world. As long as there was enough money, there would be no one they would not dare to kill. However, they did not know that David was no longer a Peak Tiger Ranker. Plus, with David's identity, once something happens to him in the Capital, the entire Capital might be turned upside down to find who did it.
The identity of the official members of Special Task Force Team A and Falcon Vulture Team was no joke. In short, there are only 20 more of them in the country. They were the elites of the country, so if they were to be killed, the dark web would be involved. If the Somerland empire went berserk, it would become very serious. Even the world would tremble at their feet.
At this moment, David did not know that someone was paying attention to him, and was here to take his life. He was still thinking about where to spend the money tomorrow.
