"Welcome home, Mr. Caine!"
The Continental Hotel concierge greeted Caine with a beaming smile, his eyes sparkling with delight.
He first poured Caine a drink, then accepted the gold coin Caine offered, and carefully took out a meticulously prepared list from a drawer.
He thoughtfully printed the list in Braille, solely for Caine's convenience.
In fact, he had specifically learned Braille for Caine.
Although many people said it was useless, opportunities often favor the prepared.
The concierge knew very well that Caine would return, and compared to Caine's power, his efforts were nothing.
For a profit-oriented, guild-like establishment such as the Continental Hotel,
having powerful agents under its wing is crucial.
Because the higher the rewards these agents earn from completing missions, the more commission the hotel receives.
Therefore, when Caine appeared, the concierge naturally felt exceptionally happy.
The Continental Hotel had lost a large sum in commissions without Caine, with its performance dropping by more than half.
"Thank you very much!!"
Caine smiled slightly, thanked him concisely, and then eagerly checked the target information on the list.
After confirming everything was correct, he turned to leave without hesitation, but quickly returned, downed his drink, and then placed another gold coin down:
"Another drink, this one's on me!"
"Thank you for your generosity!"
The concierge took the gold coin and said with a smile.
…
…
That night, darkness enveloped the earth, and silence reigned.
However, a thrilling event quietly transpired.
A newly rich magnate was tragically assassinated, his body received by the Continental Hotel, awaiting employer confirmation of the mission target.
Even more chilling was that the entire estate suddenly became deserted, with only the magnate's body left alone in place.
This bizarre scene filled people with fear and doubt.
At this very moment, Caine, having completed his bounty mission, was quietly sitting cross-legged in room 2302 of the Continental Hotel, fully focused on condensing his thirty-fifth acupoint.
Tonight, he sacrificed the flesh and lives of thirty-five people.
In return, the Cyber Dimension granted him an extremely vast amount of spiritual energy.
One human life could only successfully condense one acupoint.
Such a transaction seemed demonic to many,
but to Caine, it was an incredibly good deal.
Now, he was fully absorbing this immense spiritual energy, further enhancing his own strength.
Crucially, with the condensation of acupoints, he could even vaguely sense the spiritual energy floating in the air without needing to cultivate.
This spiritual energy would fluctuate with the movement of humans and air currents.
With this level of perception, Caine could now 'see' things purely by sensing spiritual energy.
Although the visible range was only a few meters,
this was enough to restore Caine's strength to 70% of his peak, helping him locate mission targets more precisely.
"Not enough~ I need more sacrifices!"
Caine clenched his fists, saying coldly.
Over the next few months, Caine embarked on an astonishing slaughter.
As his strength grew, the number of targets Caine pursued also increased, and the difficulty skyrocketed.
Even the arduous tasks that had been on the bounty list for years, untouched by anyone, were easily handled by him.
His insane slaughtering actions astonished many of his peers.
They wondered what madness had possessed Caine to take on missions so frequently; wasn't he afraid of the police coming for him?
But while they lamented his madness, it also made the name Caine resound like thunder among many of his colleagues.
A further reason was that the murder scenes of all missions executed by Caine were eerily strange.
No matter how fierce the fight, not a single body was left behind!
This was, of course, because, apart from the mission target, all those killed by Caine were sacrificed to the Cyber Dimension.
But only Caine himself knew this; others were completely unaware, which only made Caine's name even more renowned.
Caine's brutal killings continued, even attracting the high attention of the High Table Council.
Throughout history, only one type of assassin could achieve such a feat as Caine, disappearing without a trace.
Undoubtedly, that was the true controller of the High Table, the famous Hassan Clan.
The problem was that Caine had no connection whatsoever with the Hassan Clan,
yet he controlled a mysterious power similar to the Hassan Clan.
And what this meant, the High Table understood clearly.
This astonishing discovery filled the High Table Councilors with ecstasy.
After all, the reason the Hassan Clan could lord over them was ultimately due to their incredible supernatural power.
However, regrettably, this power was a unique racial talent of the Hassan Clan.
The Hassan Clan also strictly controlled the flow of their family bloodline, absolutely preventing any outflow.
Even if someone stole the power of the Hassan Clan, the Hassan Clan would spare no effort to eliminate them.
Others were absolutely forbidden from coveting this power.
However, since Caine also possessed supernatural power,
did that mean they also had a chance to claim this power for themselves?
As long as they obtained this power, they could completely break free from the Hassan Clan's shackles and truly control the entire organization.
This way, they would no longer need to offer most of their hard-earned money to the Hassan Clan.
Thus, to seize Caine's power, the High Table still intended to use the old method:
capture Caine's daughter and use her to coerce Caine into handing over the extraordinary power he possessed.
"Utterly foolish mortals!"
Caine's eyes gleamed with cold light, and countless data streams flashed through them.
All the cameras in Paris were under his strict surveillance.
Over the past few months, Caine had not only successfully condensed a total of 362 acupoints but had also unblocked the Eight Extraordinary Meridians and the Twelve Main Meridians.
Now, his strength had reached the peak of the Qi Refining Realm; his physical body alone was enough to ignore most hot weapons.
In addition, even his self-mutilated and damaged eyes had been restored to their original state,
and he had also learned a powerful ocular technique obtained from the Cyber Dimension.
With this ocular technique, he could instantly control all electronic devices within his line of sight, easily infiltrating all electronic cameras,
and even detect human body heat, achieving thermal imaging through walls.
Because of this, his sharp, eagle-like gaze constantly shadowed his daughter, never leaving her side.
Any assassin or High Table member approaching within 1000 meters of his daughter was a target for Caine's hunt.
