Most of the people in the Fraternity were Sloan's loyal lackeys.
Cross had said this before, but nobody believed him, or rather, they chose not to believe him.
But now that Firefox was caught and the Fraternity wasn't interfering, he had enough time to explain the truth.
There was disbelief in Firefox's big, seductive eyes. "That's impossible."
Luke chuckled. "No, he's telling the truth."
Firefox turned her head and looked at him with a conflicted look in her eyes.
She didn't want to believe it, because she had always thought that she was doing the right thing.
If she was just helping Sloan do bad things, that would go against the original intention of joining the Fraternity.
There weren't many people in the world who didn't forget their original intentions, but Luke knew that Firefox was one of them.
He took out a Titanium phone, found the video, and played it in front of her.
It was a video of Sloan at work.
On the screen, Sloan was on the phone and writing something in his notebook. Clearly, he was jotting down what the other end of the line was saying.
Then, the video changed.
At that moment, there were pieces of cloth in front of Sloan. Holding the notebook from earlier, he wrote down a name under each piece of cloth.
Firefox's face was ashen.
Cross, however, mumbled in a low voice, "Sure enough, he did tamper with the list."
Other people might not be able to see anything wrong with the video.
But Cross and Firefox were veterans who were very familiar with the process, and easily sensed that something wasn't right.
It was said that the names of evil people that needed to be eliminated were contained in the cloth of the Loom of Destiny.
Logically speaking, Sloan should have been holding the cloth and using a special binary program to decipher the names.
But judging from the video, he had copied the names from the notebook onto the cloth.
The difference between the two was like a student writing out the answer after reading the question, and a student writing out the answer before reading the question.
Sloan was forging the assassination list.
Recalling what Cross had just said, Firefox's eyes dimmed, as if she were a dying man.
Luke put away his phone and said, "Don't worry too much about that. I've been paying attention to the Fraternity for a long time. You, Cross, and Redback Spider's targets are indeed heinous criminals. "
Firefox was at a loss. "What?"
Cross looked at him.
Luke said, "You didn't kill the wrong person. Because he was afraid that you would notice something unusual, Sloan didn't dare to let you kill the innocent. He only let you kill the bad guys who have committed the most heinous crimes. You don't have to blame yourselves. "
After comforting her, he looked at the corner where the cross was hiding. "I've helped you today. In return, I want you to take your son and his big sister away from New York for a while. "
The cross hesitated for a moment before saying, "I think …"
"No, you don't," Luke interrupted him unceremoniously. "To tell you the truth, I've been keeping an eye on the Fraternity for a long time. Naturally, there would be someone to take care of those killers who killed innocents. If there are any fish that escaped the net, you can kill them as you wish. But this time, all of you better stay away from me. "
The other three people in the room were shocked. They felt like they had met a lunatic.
Even if the Fraternity was currently in a precarious situation, it still had more than ten famous assassins and several hundred ordinary assassins.
Even if the Cross Society was confident in itself, it would still take a few years to slowly wear down the Fraternity.
He had never considered wiping them out in one fell swoop.
But from what this man said, he actually wanted to wipe out the Fraternity in one fell swoop?
If you're so capable, why don't you go to heaven? The three of them couldn't help but think the same thing.
…
No matter what the three of them were thinking, they were asked to leave by Luke in the end.
His request to them was to stay out of the matter between the Mutual Assistance Association and him for a week.
The cross didn't say anything.
Firefox, on the other hand, was clearly under his "supervision."
With Luke's help today, he had finally found his silly son and proved that he was the real father.
He had to return this favor.
As for Firefox, Luke secretly used some Elementary Pheromone Control and Mental Communication to make her think, "I'll wait for a week," so that she wouldn't run back to the Fraternity and cause trouble.
Although Firefox was a unique and charming female assassin, Luke wasn't interested in her at all.
After he wiped out the Fraternity, she could do whatever she wanted. She could even be the cross's daughter-in-law.
Hm, this definitely wasn't because Rebecca and Firefox were "best friends."
After seeing the three of them off, Luke didn't waste any more time.
He had just killed the tinkerer, and the Fraternity should have taken the body back by now.
In the meantime, he would make a trip to Textile Factory 17 tonight.
Killing people and setting fires were good for one's health.
…
On the outskirts of North Bergen, by the Hackensack River. Textile Factory 17 was still busy.
A figure suddenly appeared outside the room where the Loom of Destiny was stored.
After fiddling with the door for a moment, a hidden circuit was cut off, and the alarm was no longer working.
Luke then stuck his tools into the keyhole and opened the door.
Even though the Fraternity boasted of its long history had an alarm, the door was an ancient wooden keyhole that looked like an antique.
In fact, it was indeed very easy to open, but it was far inferior to a modern security door.
Luke could only say, "You've got guts" when it came to showing off and ignoring safety, before he walked in.
Looking at the Loom of Destiny, which made clacking sounds under the light as it wove golden threads, Luke was amused.
Speaking of which, the Fraternity claimed to have been founded a thousand years ago.
Let's not talk about when this slogan was put forward. Based on the current year of 2005, the Mutual Aid Society should have existed in the 11th century AD.
But the Fraternity claimed that it was because they discovered the "password" to the Loom of Destiny that their ancestors established this organization to eradicate evil and enforce justice on behalf of the heavens.
So here was the problem.
It wasn't until the 13th century that Europe widely adopted a single weave loom that could be considered as popularizing looms.
So what was the Loom of Destiny like at that time? It couldn't have been this loom from the early industrial era, could it?
At that time, didn't the Fraternity have to rely on people to weave the cloth one by one, and then the weaver had to say who was bad?
Was it possible for the mighty Loom of Destiny to rely on human mouths?
Besides, if the Fraternity really had such a thing in the 13th century, they would probably have bragged about it as a miracle.
But in the hundreds of years that followed, there were no clues or legends about the Loom of Destiny at all.
The real history that the Fraternity could trace back was more than two hundred years ago, during the first industrial revolution, which happened to coincide with the era of this loom.
The Loom of Destiny that the Fraternity spoke of actually relied on the industrial revolution to show a miracle. Then what was it doing a thousand years ago?
