After contacting Thor and learning they had already left on a mission, Zhang Jie decided not to rush back to New York and instead opted to explore Europe.
On his way to Europe, Anna invited Zhang Jie to fly with her on a private CIA plane.
After all, for agents like them, taking regular commercial flights was too inconvenient. Many items couldn't pass security, so the best solution was to have a private plane and simply apply for a flight path.
At 8:32 AM on July 6, 2014, Zhang Jie walked out of Marseille Provence Airport.
Anna's next mission was in France, so she had come to Marseille.
Zhang Jie had also taken this flight to Marseille. After leaving the airport, Zhang Jie, feeling a bit bored, opened the hitman APP and started browsing for missions again.
As for what Anna was going to do, Zhang Jie didn't ask. Asking about such things could potentially cost him his life, so he'd rather stick to his hitman profession.
But to be fair, even in Marseille, he could still feel the strong French atmosphere. France truly had a mysterious romance no matter where you were.
He was about to hail a taxi to go sightseeing in the city when, at that moment, a white peugeot 406 with a roaring engine pulled up not far from him. The car door opened, and a man in a brown suit with a face full of acne stumbled out, looking distressed.
"Ugh~"
Zhang Jie felt a bit disgusted.
Seeing the taxi parked just a few meters away, Zhang Jie waved his hand, and the taxi pulled up in front of him.
Zhang Jie sat in the back seat. The driver looked at him through the rearview mirror, then turned his head and stared at him, "Asiatiques?"
Zhang Jie didn't understand what he was saying at first; he was completely clueless about French.
The driver paused, apparently realizing that his language wasn't understood by the other party. So, he immediately pulled out his ultimate move.
"Hello?"
Good, Zhang Jie finally understood that much.
"Can you take me to explore the surrounding cities?"
The driver listened with some difficulty but managed to understand. After all, as a former pizza delivery driver, he often had to deal with English speakers during work, so he had studied it for a while.
"OK!"
After giving an OK gesture, the man floored the accelerator and took Zhang Jie on a tour of the city. The other party hadn't said he was in a hurry, but the man just loved to drive fast.
Seeing the driver smoothly overtake other cars, Zhang Jie became a little curious, "Do you also like to race?"
After hearing him, the man thought for a while before saying, "Occupational hazard, sir."
Zhang Jie took out three franklins from his pocket and handed them over.
"No need to rush. I've booked your entire itinerary for this afternoon. Take me on a good tour, and there's more if needed."
Zhang Jie was very generous, and the driver was naturally very happy.
This was Daniel's happiest day because he had landed a big fare. The Asian man in the back seemed kind and very generous.
So, he also friendly slowed down the car.
After all, the client's demands were paramount, especially since he had booked all of his itinerary.
And so, Zhang Jie toured the city of Marseille. After watching for a while, he finally felt a bit bored and continued scrolling through his phone APP.
Daniel, on the other hand, was clearly someone who couldn't sit still. He kept trying to chat with Zhang Jie in the car, but limited by his vocabulary, he eventually felt a bit bored too, as he couldn't speak much English at all.
Soon, Zhang Jie found a mission on the APP. This mission was to rescue the client's girlfriend.
Zhang Jie: ?
Wait, isn't this a hitman APP?
It's specifically for killing people, so how did it become about rescuing someone?
And it was even a two-star mission, with a reward of 50,000 dollars.
Meanwhile, Zhang Jie's star rating had unknowingly reached three-star Bronze, with '(Night Owl)' in parentheses next to his hitman information.
"Tsk tsk tsk! It updates really fast, doesn't it? But it was just a random name Ghost Wolf came up with. Has it been updated here so quickly?"
He had no idea that the High Table's hitman information updates weren't just based on missions taken by individuals but also evaluated through other multidimensional data.
Because there were many assassin organizations in this world, only a few were famous, and some were personal commissions. Therefore, data statistics had to be sufficiently accurate, and the High Table's intelligence agencies were spread globally.
Zhang Jie's recent missions had also been accurately recorded by the High Table. Although not tallied in the backend, his strength and ability had been recognized by the High Table's evaluation department.
After all, he was that man's direct disciple.
As for the codename Night Owl, it was uploaded by Ghost Wolf. As a top assassin, providing some auxiliary information was an easy task for him.
With the increase in star rating, the High Table's commission also decreased, from 40% to 38%.
This time, after receiving the 50,000 dollar reward, he would get 31,000 dollars, which was quite a good deal overall, and it was right there in Marseille.
"Little brother, take me to Les Pennes-Mirabeau, Bouches-du-Rhône, on the Blue Coast. I have something to take care of."
Looking at the information displayed on the APP, Zhang Jie accepted the mission without hesitation and told Daniel, the taxi driver.
"Tout est fait, mon estimé invité! (Hold on tight, guest)" Hearing Zhang Jie's tone, Daniel also got excited. After casually saying a French phrase, he shifted gears and stomped on the accelerator.
The G-force followed, but Zhang Jie merely shrugged it off.
Looking at Zhang Jie's expressionless face in the rearview mirror, Daniel felt a slight sense of frustration.
After all, his greatest pleasure was seeing the passengers in the back being conquered by speed. But it seemed like it wasn't enough this time.
Moreover, the location the young man mentioned wasn't actually far from where they were, just a few kilometers. Soon, the car stopped in front of a dilapidated warehouse.
Zhang Jie got out of the car and walked inside.
The mission said to rescue someone at this address, but in reality, Zhang Jie still had to find the person himself. However, he quickly spotted someone crouching in the distance.
When the man saw Zhang Jie, he immediately became excited.
Zhang Jie also observed him, confirming that this guy was not a hitman, just an ordinary person.
"Great! Someone finally came to save my girlfriend!" The man looked like he might even be an international student.
Upon seeing Zhang Jie, he was very excited and pulled Zhang Jie over to explain the situation.
It turned out his girlfriend had been kidnapped by a local gang, who demanded a 300,000 ransom. But he couldn't afford that much money, so he could only seek help through the hitman APP.
So that's how it was.
Zhang Jie patted the man's shoulder, telling him to leave and that he would handle the rest.
Subsequently, Zhang Jie walked into the warehouse area. After turning a few corners, he saw a group of people standing guard with weapons.
Zhang Jie directly drew his tti sand viper, "Baby, time to work."
A tactical peek gave him a rough idea of where the armed men were positioned. Next was the process of rescuing the hostage.
