What is the most important thing for the High Table?
In the beginning, it was assassins, and it still is today.
Although the High Table has become a massive organization ruling the underworld, the most crucial core that binds everything together remains the assassins.
The twelve Continental Hotels spread across the globe are the core hubs of the High Table's power. Combined with other supporting organizations like the Moles, Hawkeyes, and Vultures, they can project their influence worldwide.
And now, Morin's Templar Knights are targeting the assassins!
In the past, if you were on the High Table's bounty list, your only options were to rely on your own power for protection. Official help was out of the question'the government wouldn't get involved.
But now, someone is stepping up.
If the bounties from the Continental Hotel fail too many times, it means their greatest weapon the threat of death becomes ineffective.
The Templar Knights have proven their strength in two battles in New York over the past few days. Ezio has no doubt they can protect their clients from assassins.
So, if the Templar Knights succeed, and they succeed often...
The High Table's power will be greatly diminished!
A thousand-mile-long dike can collapse from an ant's nest, but Morin isn't just making an ant's nest; he's directly tearing down the dam!
Ezio, of course, understands the gravity of the situation, which is why he's so agitated. He wants to extinguish this sudden spark before it grows into a wildfire.
"Get me a phone!" Ezio ordered his attendant, and he began dialing the numbers of high-ranking officials he had dirt on.
Ezio knew that in addition to mobilizing the High Table's forces, these official powers had to be put in motion as well!
The most terrifying attacks are the ones that come from behind!
On the streets of New York.
Gilbreth stared at the broadcast, which had returned to normal, for a long time.
When he finally came to, he looked toward the Continental Hotel and saw that the sign had been replaced. It now read "New York Templar Knights"!
Gilbreth remembered what the Templar Knight on television had said.
Could it really be true?
Could he really get revenge on the High Table?
Or was it just empty talk?
After a moment of hesitation, Gilbreth walked toward the Continental Hotel.
He had to at least try.
"Sir?" Charon, who was reviewing some documents at the front desk, noticed Gilbreth walking in after being searched.
"It's like this, I just saw on TV..." Gilbreth asked hesitantly, "Is it true?"
"It's absolutely true, sir," Charon said with a polite smile. "So, do you need to hire our services?"
"What?"
"Do you need to hire a Templar Knight to fight for order?"
"...Yes... yes, can you take on a contract for something that happened in the past?"
"Of course. Although justice delayed is no longer justice, but revenge, everything is worth it to protect order."
"Then, I would like to..." Hope swelled in Gilbreth's heart, but then he remembered something and panicked. "But... I don't have that much money..."
"You don't need to worry about that. We will assess the assets of the party you're targeting. After the task is completed, those assets will serve as our fee."
Charon adjusted his glasses, smiling. "We apologize for needing to do this. Even protection requires a price."
"If that's the case, that's perfect!" Gilbreth said, overjoyed.
"If you're certain you want to hire a Templar Knight to protect order, please present your identification. We need to investigate a few things to ensure the authenticity of your request."
"Sir, you may leave now. Once the contract is fulfilled, the results will be relayed to you."
Even after leaving the New York Templar Knights, Gilbreth felt dazed.
Just moments ago, after he had submitted his ID, Charon returned it to him, along with a printed document.
Gilbreth saw that the document contained information about his enemies!
It included the details of what happened all those years ago, along with detailed profiles of each person"everything was there, complete and thorough!
After signing, fingerprinting, and having his photo taken, Charon told Gilbreth he could leave and wait for the Templar Knights to handle the matter.
Gilbreth still couldn't believe it.
Just like that... it was done?
Was it really possible?
Without a doubt, the keywords "Eric," "Morin," and "Templar Knights" were on everyone's lips.
In less than an hour, the entire story had spread across the internet worldwide.
Ezio had anticipated this, but when he ordered the government departments to control the narrative, he was told it was impossible because they had been "hacked" and were "forced" to comply.
Ezio knew they weren't forced, but when he threatened the officials, he received this response:
This is a struggle between the Templar Knights and the High Table, and official forces will not be getting involved.
Therefore, the agreement between the High Table and the government remains in effect, and outside of those rules, the government will not restrict the High Table's actions.
However, the government will also not restrict the Templar Knights.
This meant that if Ezio were to act against the officials because of this, he and the High Table would be unilaterally breaking their agreement.
At that point, the government would be free to support the Templar Knights without restraint!
The government forces must have already given the Templar Knights their support, Ezio knew that.
But as long as the agreement was still active, and there was no evidence, the High Table couldn't act against the government.
If they did, they'd be facing both the government and the Templar Knights at the same time!
Compared to that, it was much better to only have to deal with the Templar Knights for now.
So, Ezio didn't make the follow-up calls.
He didn't need to.
If the High Table, after developing to this point, couldn't deal with the sudden emergence of the Templar Knights, it meant it was time for them to be destroyed.
Besides, Ezio was confident he could do it.
He just had to suppress them before they gained momentum, and it would be over!
Especially since the other side had made such a big public spectacle of it if they failed and the High Table won, the High Table's global status would be further cemented!
There are two sides to every coin; the greater the crisis, the greater the opportunity!
