Chapter 001: The Cross

For Wang Bo, who had already crossed over, he naturally couldn't appreciate the pain of the Green Goblin who had just stepped out only to be blocked by seven Spider-Men. No matter how many curses the Green Goblin had in his heart, Wang Bo couldn't hear them.

After all, he had already moved on to a new world.

This time, Wang Bo's luck was still good.

Not only had he arrived in a new world, but he had also learned the plot of that world as soon as he arrived.

All of this was thanks to the person Wang Bo had replaced.

The Cross!

Of course, the Cross was not a name but a code name.

The Cross's real name was Carlos, and he had once been a member of a very ancient assassin organization.

This ancient organization possessed a divine artifact called... the Loom of Fate!

In ancient times, this loom could weave the names of a group of people. Without exception, these people were tumors and villains hindering social development, even potential criminals.

Even if they hadn't committed crimes now, they would eventually commit crimes due to various circumstances.

Soon after the Loom of Fate appeared, a group of people discovered its miraculous nature, and they gathered around it, founding this ancient assassin organization with the loom at its center.

Their purpose was to eliminate the names that appeared on the loom.

But in modern times, the current leader of this ancient organization, Sloan, betrayed the Loom of Fate. He became a mercenary assassin, using the Loom of Fate to forge a list of names.

He sent his assassins to eliminate the people on the list, profiting from it. This ancient organization gradually became Sloan's money-making machine.

Thus, the names of all the assassins appeared on the Loom of Fate.

But if you walk the night path often enough, you're bound to run into ghosts.

Although Sloan's actions fooled most of the organization, one person noticed.

And that person was the Cross, whom Wang Bo had replaced.

After discovering what Sloan had done, the Cross decisively chose to betray the organization and secretly hunted down all its members.

Because the Cross was the most formidable assassin in the organization, the ancient organization suffered repeated defeats under his attacks, and one excellent assassin after another died at the Cross's hands.

Until today, when the Cross was replaced by Wang Bo.

And Wang Bo, thanks to the Cross's memories, confirmed that the world he was in should be the "Wanted" world. Of course, that was just one name.

In fact, "Wanted" had several other names, such as "The Assassin Alliance" or "Killer Agent," etc.

Actually, they all meant the same thing.

Coincidentally, Wang Bo had happened to watch this movie and was very clear about its plot. He even knew exactly where the ancient organization's lair was.

In fact, even if Wang Bo hadn't known the plot, he would still have known the organization's lair. After all, the Cross had once been the organization's best assassin; how could he not know where the lair was?

Of course, Wang Bo didn't care about the plot at all.

He just wanted to live a peaceful life.

But the identity he had replaced was simply too troublesome.

Because of the Cross's actions, the ancient organization had listed the Cross as a must-kill target, and the organization's leader Sloan would not let someone who knew his secrets go.

In their eyes, the Cross had to die.

Even if Wang Bo now withdrew and lived a carefree life, these people would not let him go. They would frantically search for him until they killed him.

The thought that his peaceful life could be disturbed at any moment by these assassins with their extraordinary skills made Wang Bo uncomfortable.

So for the first time, the idea of killing entered his mind.

If he could just kill all these damn assassins, no one would ever disturb his life again.

But soon, Wang Bo suppressed the murderous intent in his heart.

After all, he was not that cold-blooded kind of person.

Helpless, Wang Bo had to analyze the current situation. Because he had replaced the Cross, in the eyes of others, he was the Cross.

And the Cross and this ancient organization were already locked in a life-and-death struggle.

Only one of the two could survive in this world.

Analyzing it this way, Wang Bo suddenly realized that only by killing these assassins could he continue his peaceful life.

After much deliberation, Wang Bo finally made a decision.

Since they were already in a life-and-death struggle, he might as well take them out.

Of course, that didn't mean Wang Bo wanted to kill people.

After all, with Wang Bo's current strength, crushing them was a piece of cake. What he needed to do was to gather this group together and take them all down, crippling them.

That way, they wouldn't have to die, and they would be powerless to take revenge.

Then Wang Bo could live his peaceful life.

As for how to gather them together, Wang Bo already had a very mature idea. Because just a short while ago, one hour before Wang Bo replaced the Cross,

this guy had just killed the organization's Mr. X.

Mr. X was also a code name, and he was the second-best assassin in the organization, second only to the Cross. His death would surely cause turmoil in the organization. This group should gather for a meeting to discuss how to deal with him.

Wang Bo immediately took Friday out of his four-dimensional pocket and had it hack into the network and satellites to monitor the phone calls of Sloan and other organization members.

Sure enough, after Mr. X's death, the organization's leader Sloan sensed the crisis and quickly made several phone calls, summoning the members who had been dispatched outside.

They agreed to hold a meeting at the headquarters tonight.

But he himself didn't know that his calls were already being monitored by Wang Bo's Transformer.

Wang Bo knew exactly the time and place of their meeting.

After learning the whereabouts of Sloan and his group, Wang Bo began to take care of his own affairs.

It was morning.

He carried a cello case, dressed in a suit, and walked down the street. In the eyes of others, Wang Bo might be a cello teacher or a performer.

No one knew that the cello case Wang Bo was carrying contained not a cello but a sniper rifle.

Not long ago, the Cross had used this very gun to snipe Mr. X, cutting off the organization's toughest wing.

Half an hour later, Wang Bo walked back to the Cross's home.

It was a shabby house, right by the railroad tracks. Whenever a train passed, the house would shake gently with the roar.

Being woken up by passing trains in the dead of night was a common occurrence.

Yet, as the former top assassin of the organization, the Cross was actually very wealthy; he could have lived in a much better place.
