Chapter 159 One pill to refresh the mind, two pills to keep you tireless 5K

As a secret organization capable of coordinating assassins worldwide, the Continental Hotel is not a place where just anyone is qualified to enter and spend money.

This organization has set a threshold, allowing only qualified individuals to access the true darkness of the underworld.

At least compared to the Continental Hotel, the Bonanno family and the Castro gang that Rosen had previously faced were nothing more than minor players.

After listening to Svefa's words, Rosen had only one question.

"Lincy, how do you know so much about hotels in mainland China?"

This question stumped Svefa, and she frowned as she looked at Rosen.

"Rosen, shouldn't you be worried?"

"Worried? What's there to worry about? Worrying won't solve anything."

Svefa's furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

"Rosen, you're right! Worrying won't solve anything, but we still need to be careful of the people who hire these assassins!"

'

"I roughly know who's behind this. Lindsey, aren't you going to explain to me how you know so much about the Mainland Hotel?"

Svefa embraced Rosen, pressing her broad chest against her beloved man.

"Actually, I used to work at the Continental Hotel, but I left due to internal power struggles and opened a small bar in Los Angeles. However, I still have connections and channels, so I can still make a little money through the intelligence business."

Rosen then realized where Svefa's intelligence came from. With the terrifying influence of the Continental Hotels Group all over the world, selling intelligence in Los Angeles was just a small matter. The Continental Hotels Group probably only had intelligence that they couldn't get from the University of Tokyo.

"Oh, I see! I initially thought you were a CIA agent!"

Having received the answer, Rosen pinched Svefa's nose.

"Rosen, aren't you upset that I kept this from you all this time?"

"Of course not! Everyone has their own secrets, and I actually have my own little secrets that I haven't told you."

For example, there are time-traveling mobile phones and Harvest Day apps.

"Then what secret have you been hiding from me?"

"For example, I'm actually from Krypton!"

These words prompted Svefa to pinch Rosen's weakness, and she immediately felt Rosen's anger.

Well, seeing Eva take off her clothes and get electrocuted was really too stimulating. And with Swifa doing this, Rosen felt like he was losing control.

Svefa was startled and quickly apologized in a pleading tone.

"Rosen, I was wrong! Please don't do anything reckless at a time like this!"

After a long period of corporal punishment, Svefa already knew that provoking Rosen usually had a very bad outcome.

This tall woman didn't want to end up like the stubborn Daisy, who always ended up miserable, and besides, she had important things to do right now.

"Just you wait! I'll deal with you when we get back!"

Suppressing his inner turmoil, Rosen began to clean up the scene.

The bodies of the two snipers were left to Svefa to handle; it was ultimately inconvenient to expose what had happened at the Mainland Hotel.

As for Eva and Frank, they were naturally handed over to the FBI.

When Eva was taken to the FBI's Chevrolet Suburban, her eyes were fixed on Rosen, as if she wanted to imprint Rosen's face into her mind.

Cole, who had personally gone to the scene to check the situation, happily patted Rosen on the shoulder.

"Agent Rosen, well done! The FBI's operation tonight wasn't a complete failure after all! You really gave me so many surprises tonight!"

"Chief, there's actually another surprise I haven't told you."

"What surprise?"

"While rescuing John Byrne this afternoon, we accidentally captured some CIA agents. Agent Jane Banner is currently guarding these CIA agents."

This can no longer be called a surprise; it's downright terrifying.

Listen to what this is all about: an FBI trainee agent taking down an entire CIA special agent team.

Cole looked at Rosen as if he were observing a rare and exotic animal.

"Agent Rosen, I'm really curious now, you don't happen to control 'qi' like Iron Fist, do you?"

(Iron Fist, a superhero in the Marvel Universe, possesses abilities similar to chi.)

"Chief, you must be joking! Actually, it wasn't me who did it, it was my friend."

Cole gave a particularly mysterious smile.

"I understand, everyone has their secrets! I've never been one to care much about the process, only the outcome. Agent Rosen, I'm increasingly impressed with you!"

After that, there was no need for Rosen, the trainee agent, to do anything more.

Rosenli deserved more than enough credit; he owned more than half of the cake, while Sean and Jane split the remaining half equally.

Other FBI agents can't be left without any work; they need to be able to make a living.

So, while the FBI building was busy, Rosen actually had some free time and had time to properly punish the naughty Svepha and Sophia.

First, Adams Byrne's mention of transaction records and ledgers successfully led the FBI to dismantle a large drug trafficking network.

There are definitely a lot of things related to the CIA involved, but the FBI doesn't care whether the CIA is happy or not.

Then there's Jonathan Courtney, who was caught by Sean.

This guy was initially very tough, but his attitude softened immediately when he saw Frank Castro with his limbs broken.

Then, the experienced Sean used the information gap to successfully trick Jonathan into talking.

As for Frank, he was already completely disheartened and revealed everything he knew without needing to be asked.

Frank had no children, no lover, and few friends, so after a series of betrayals, he had no will to live.

But much of what Frank said was kept secret by Cole, especially what he said about a man named Walsh.

America also has places where the sun doesn't shine, just as a woman facing multiple murder charges can still be a presidential candidate.

There are some things that even the FBI field chief can't solve.

The only option is to keep the secret hidden until the right time, and then let it see the light of day again.

Finally, there's the matter of CIA Agent 91.

This is a matter involving a power struggle between the FBI leadership and the CIA, and even Cole couldn't make the decision; he could only let the FBI headquarters negotiate with the CIA.

The outcome is unknown, but it certainly brought a rare smile to Cole's face after the mysterious deaths of Frank Castro and Jonathan Courtney.

Yes, Frank and Jonathan still died.

Frank died during his treatment at the hospital, and the cause of death was that an intern prescribed him an excessive dose of medication.

The intern's license was eventually revoked because of this mistake, but the FBI has not yet been able to prove that it was intentional.

Despite having his license revoked, the intern was still smiling broadly, showing no sign of remorse whatsoever.

Jonathan was strangled to death in a detention cell in the FBI building. As expected, all the surveillance cameras at the scene malfunctioned at the time of the incident, and no one witnessed the event.

Cole had no choice but to accept this outcome; he had actually anticipated it when he heard the surname Walsh.

Compared to these two things, Eva's disappearance is nothing. She is neither a gang leader like Frank nor a deputy director of an FBI field office like Jonathan.

Eva also went missing in the hospital; she was admitted after suffering an electric shock and other injuries.

At the time, some people thought that Rosen had beaten Eva so badly, but after examination, it was discovered that most of Eva's injuries were old ones.

Because Eva was a woman, the FBI officers guarding her relaxed their guard, and the woman used her thumb to dislocate her joint to break free of her handcuffs, then jumped out of the window and escaped.

If, like in the future, her hands were bound with plastic straps, Eva wouldn't have such an easy time escaping.

After escaping, Ava, disguised, returned to the upscale club in downtown Los Angeles.

"Oh, Eva, I thought I'd never see you again."

The old man with a full head of white hair appeared again, but this time he was accompanied by a black man.

A tall, muscular, and terrifying black man, like a black tower.

Eva knew this black man; his name was Mbadi, and he was someone Walsh had found in Africa.

When Walsh found Mbadi, the guy was fighting a lion all by himself; he was only 12 years old at the time.

The name Mbadi means "the bravest man" in that African tribe.

Then, Walsh brought Mbadi to the civilized world and trained him to be his most loyal dog.

Anyone who wants to harm Walsh must first get through Mbadi, and those who attempt to do so are usually torn to shreds.

When Eva saw Mbadi on this occasion, she instantly understood that Walsh no longer trusted her.

This is perfectly normal for Walsh, given that he is a suspicious person.

If a suspicious person sees their pet return suddenly after running away for a few days, they will definitely wonder if the pet is carrying some kind of parasite, or if there is a small ball on its body.

It will take Eva a long time to regain Walsh's trust, starting now.

"Mr. Walsh, I thought I'd never see you again!"

With a wronged expression, Eva walked towards Walsh and knelt down, wanting to rub against Walsh's thigh as usual, but was blocked by Mbadi.

Mbadi would never act on his own initiative, so that's Walsh's attitude.

"Eva, we can reminisce later. I want to know who ruined my plans."

The image of that handsome Asian face instantly flashed into Eva's mind.

During the time she was held captive by the FBI, Ava didn't just lie around doing nothing.

Through subtle hints and her own deductions, Eva realized that the key figure in this series of events was an undercover agent.

The FBI concealed the information about this undercover agent, but Eva had already guessed that the undercover agent was the Asian youth who had captured her.

However, Walsh's current attitude deeply hurt Eva, so she said another name.

"It's FBI senior agent Sean Arthur!"

Walsh gave a knowing look.

"I bet it was this guy! This guy ruined billions of dollars of my business, I'm not going to let him get away with this!"

The murderous voice seemed to lower the room temperature by several degrees.

After a long while, Walsh looked down at Eva.

"Eva, now that you've escaped, take a break. But I don't want you to fail again; you should know I've never been very patient."

Eva lowered her head and lay prostrate on the ground, seemingly to express respect, but actually to avoid letting Walsh see her current expression.

"Mr. Walsh, please rest assured, I will not let you down again!"

Walsh nodded, looked at Eva again, and left the room with Mbadi.

Only when the door closed did Eva slowly raise her head, her eyes filled with resentment.

It's obvious that Eva's heart has changed, and once a woman's heart changes—

By the end of October, Brian also received good news.

The LAPD's investigation into the undercover agents has yielded results, successfully identifying four undercover agents besides Colin Sullivan.

This was actually an FBI mistake; when they interrogated Frank Castro, they didn't care at all about the LAPD's fate.

The LAPD was able to uncover these four undercover agents thanks to Rosen's intelligence.

After uncovering the LAPD mole, Rosen's two tasks were completed.

The only drawback was that not all of the core members of the Byrne gang were captured; one or two were still missed.

There's nothing that can be done about it. Rosen can't guarantee that every job will meet all the extra requirements; there will always be some unexpected things that happen.

For example, Brian's cold during the last Korean restaurant incident—these kinds of things are unpredictable.

[Breaking Bad assignment completed, settling accounts]

[Additional condition 1: Finding criminal evidence worth at least 30 million US dollars has been achieved]

[Additional condition 2: The arrest of all core members of the Byrne Gang has not been achieved]

[Additional condition 3: Arrest of Adams Byrne has been achieved]

[This task received a final rating of A, earning 9 reputation points with the Federal Government and 4 chances to flip cards.]

Sure enough, this time the reputation gained was not from the underworld, but from the federal government.

This also means that Rosen has begun to gain some recognition within the federal government, although this recognition is still very small and negligible.

But as long as Rosen keeps doing his job, he will one day become a respected figure.

Hmm, the first Asian-American FBI director seems quite interesting. Why not give it a try?

After imagining the future, Rosen stroked the two kittens lying beside him.

Rosen seemed to have heard someone say in his past life that petting kittens could bring good luck, so he decided to give it a try today.

"Rosen, stop touching me, I really can't take it anymore!"

Even in their sleep, Svefa and Sophia were still begging Rosen for mercy, probably because the act of petting the kitten had provoked them.

[Win $30000 in cash!]

[Win $50000 in cash!]

[Win $70000 in cash!]

[Hypnotic gas obtained!]

This...this isn't right, is it?

Why did my luck get worse after petting the kitten?

Rosen looked at his hands in confusion; there was still some dew on them from petting the kitten.

Could it be this dew?

Rosen quickly wiped the dew onto the four mountain peaks around him, then checked the newly acquired items.

Hypnotic Gas: A fast-acting anesthetic gas that can be sprayed by hand or used as a smoke grenade. Maximum capacity is 3.

Each one automatically regenerates at midnight every day. Truly an essential medicine for home, travel, and even for silencing witnesses!

Hmm, Rosen previously thought it was a bit troublesome to knock out enemies with sticks or fists.

Stunning someone is not as simple as it is in movies and games. You have to control the force and degree of force. Too much force can kill someone, and too little force will not be effective.

With this hypnotic gas, it will be easy to knock someone out in the future.

[The Undercover Agent's mission is complete, settlement in progress —]

[Additional condition 1: Finding the LAPD mole planted next to Frank Castro has been achieved]

[Additional condition 2: Finding all the undercover agents Frank Castro planted in the LAPD has been achieved]

[Additional condition 3: Finding the person within the FBI who provided information to Frank Castro has been achieved]

[This mission received a final rating of S, earning 17 reputation points with the Federal Government and 5 chances to flip cards.]

The reputation rewards from the two jobs propelled Rosen's reputation with the federal government from obscurity to prominence.

However, it is still quite a distance from the rising fame of the underground world (109).

[Winner of the Ace "Magician" title!]

[Get Kidney Tonic!]

[Win $60000 in cash!]

[Obtained the Agent's Watch!]

[Received non-prescription glasses!]

Holy crap! Four out of five, and they even have an ace up their sleeve!

Family members, petting kittens really works!

Rosen looked at his haul with delight and couldn't resist giving a handful of money to the two kittens beside him.

This caused Svefa and Sofia to moan softly.

[Magician: You now possess hands like those of the world's top magicians. Precise and elegant, swift and agile!]

As the ace merged into Rosen's body, he instantly felt a change in his hands.

His fingers became longer and more flexible, and all the calluses he had developed during his training at Quantico disappeared.

Now Rosen feels that his hands are even more delicate and soft than a woman's hands.

The Magician's Ace actually meant this; Rosen had thought it meant he would gain the magician's skills.

Hmm, it's definitely not that basketball magician.

So-called magic is actually just psychology and technique.

They control the audience's psychology, attract their attention through language or actions, and then perform magic tricks with superb skills.

The basic skill involved is having quick hands.

Top magicians have incredibly fast hand speeds; their handwork is often too fast for the naked eye to detect and can only be seen with high-speed cameras.

With this trump card, Rosen should be able to do something similar, at least his speed of drawing his gun and throwing cards will be greatly improved.

He might even reach the level of the legendary quick-draw gunslinger Bob Monden.

(World record: from drawing the gun, aiming, to firing, it only takes 0.21 seconds)

[Kidney Tonic: Eliminates fatigue and restores energy, but continuous use may be too much for the body to handle. It automatically replenishes at midnight every day. One pill refreshes the mind, two pills eliminate fatigue, and three pills promote longevity!]

The description of this item made Lawson feel strange, like something that would appear on some small penises.

However, the effect is still very powerful, and it may come in handy at certain times.

Yeah, I was wondering what happened when we stayed up all night?

[Spy Watch: A watch with multiple spy functions, useful in various situations. You can easily possess time, but you cannot change it.]

Rosen took out the agent's watch. On the surface, it was a high-end gold watch with a low-key yet luxurious design, but the secret inside could only be discovered by opening the dial.

It contains a series of props such as transmitters, positioning tools, cameras, and steel cables, and is indeed highly functional.

And because these functions are integrated into the watch, they are very discreet.

Incidentally, it also saved Lawson the money he needed to buy a watch.

[Plain-rimmed glasses: A pair of black-rimmed glasses can make your appearance and temperament less prominent. I am Superman!]

Could these glasses be the ones Superman wears?

Those glasses would be quite useful.

Rosen's face can sometimes be a problem; he can't use Two-Face's trump card all the time. These non-prescription glasses might serve as a temporary solution.

At this point, both tasks have been settled, and the results this time were quite good.

To celebrate, Rosen took out some kidney tonic and gave two tablets to Svefa and Sofia.

The two women quickly regained consciousness.

Sophia stared wide-eyed at Rosen.

"Rosen, what did you feed us?"

"Don't worry, it's a secret formula from the University of Tokyo; there are absolutely no side effects!"

A wicked smile spread across Rosen's face as he reached out his hands toward the kitten that had just brought him good luck.

Svefa and Sophia exchanged a glance and immediately understood what Rosen wanted to do.

Without any hesitation, Svefa and Sofia both jumped out of bed and ran away.

However, Rosen's hands were now very fast, and he easily caught the two of them.

"Rosen, please let me go! We really can't go on anymore!"

"Don't be afraid, I'll be very gentle this time!"

A few minutes later, a cheerful duet filled the room.

The two women eventually succumbed to Rosen's powerful body and sang until dawn.
