Chapter 182: The Senju

"Winston, this is my newly appointed Adjudicator. I've come to help her handle her identification," Charles said.

Upon hearing Charles's words, Winston shifted his gaze to Tsunade, a young golden-haired girl with a ponytail who appeared to be quite young despite being 24 years old.

Although Tsunade was 24, Winston perceived a youthful energy emanating from her.

"Elder, please follow me to the office upstairs. I'll handle her identification there. You won't need to make these trips in the future," Winston offered.

"You only need to make a phone call, and the Continental Hotel will come to your service."

"It's alright. I brought her here to familiarize her with the Continental Hotel," Charles replied.

Following Winston, the three of them made their way to the office upstairs, where the staff responsible for handling identification soon arrived.

Tsunade registered her information and took a photo with the staff while Charles chatted with Winston.

"Elder, since you provided the wax bath service, business at the New York Continental Hotel has improved significantly," Winston informed.

"Now, it's not just for assassins; even some celebrities and athletes come here for their recovery."

"The value of the Continental Hotel's coins has soared on the black market. They're difficult to come by," Winston added.

"Even several hospital directors have approached us, hoping to introduce this technology, but I turned them all away," he continued.

Hearing Winston's words, Charles nodded understandingly and replied, "We should cater to our guests. The wax bath market will only get bigger and more upscale." 

"For those celebrities, athletes, or even wealthy individuals, the cost of treatment is negligible to them."

"However, for those who dare to pry into the secrets of the wax bath, we won't just chop off their claws; we'll also chop off everyone behind them," Charles declared.

Winston agreed with Charles's words and nodded in agreement.

He then walked over to the nearby wine cabinet and retrieved a bottle of the beautifully packaged 72-year-old Macallan Rare Cask series single malt whisky.

"Elder, this is a gift I specially prepared for you. This whisky is a global limited edition of 600 bottles, and I'm in the process of acquiring them. They will all be delivered to your office," Winston said with a warm smile.

Charles didn't refuse the gift and accepted the exquisite bottle. After examining the packaging, Charles smiled and said, "Winston, I really like your gift."

At that moment, the staff member responsible for handling Tsunade's procedures asked, "Miss, how should we fill in your surname here?

Hearing the question, Charles placed the wine glass on the desk and walked over.

Looking at Tsunade, who seemed a little conflicted, Charles patted her on the shoulder and told the staff, "Senju - Tsunade."

"Fill in 'Senju' for the surname."

Seeing Charles's gesture, Tsunade was about to object, but Charles continued, "Let the surname 'Senju' blossom anew here."

"After all, this isn't Konoha."

"Perhaps one day, your grandfather, or your second grandfather might come, and I'm sure they won't blame you. After all, it's your surname and family name, isn't it?" Tsunade asked excitedly, grabbing Charles's shoulder.

Upon hearing Charles's words, Tsunade became somewhat excited and grabbed Charles's shoulder, asking, "Are you saying that my grandfather and second grandfather will come too? Is it true?"

Feeling Tsunade's strength, Charles turned his hand and gently removed Tsunade's arm from his shoulder, then looked at her, saying, "Yes, they will come one day."

Tsunade withdrew her arm from Charles's grip but still exclaimed, "Thank you, Charles."

Charles smiled but said nothing more.

Soon Tsunade completed the formalities and left the Continental Hotel with the gift Winston had sent.

…

Meanwhile, the Iruka team, which had already arrived in London, was currently at the Continental Hotel. 

Instead of rushing in with his team, Iruka first obtained detailed information on the mission target using the intelligence system at the hotel.

Once they had gathered all the necessary information, Iruka set out with his team. The mission was smooth and uneventful. 

After dark, they easily dispatched three targets. On their way back, they encountered heavy rain and took the subway back to the hotel.

"This kind of mission is too simple. I think a single person can handle these types of C-rank missions without the need for our entire team. It would be better for everyone to take on more tasks or help Lord Charles find some special items," Sasuke said with a hint of helplessness, and Naruto chimed in in agreement.

Iruka took off his hat and said, "The main reason is that we are unfamiliar with this place. Perhaps we might encounter what Lord Charles mentioned."

Hearing Iruka's words, Sasuke disdainfully pursed his lips. Having been in this world for some time, besides a few capable individuals from the Hand, he hadn't seen any other special individuals.

Rock Lee, on the other hand, stood quietly on the side and didn't say anything. He just wanted to return to the office soon and start training.

As the four of them waited, they saw a subway train arriving, but unfortunately, it wasn't the one they were supposed to board. They waited quietly.

In the subway station, people were coming and going, and there were quite a few people waiting to board the train.

A burly black man approached and pushed everyone in his way. When he got close to Iruka and the others, he stopped abruptly and shouted, "Vampire!"

Turning around, he pulled out two submachine guns from his jacket and started shooting indiscriminately.

"Da-da-da-da-"

Bullets poured out, shooting at the people in front of him, regardless of the others' safety.

Numerous passengers panicked and fled in all directions. Some passengers who were about to enter the subway entrance heard the gunfire and ran out without intending to enter.

However, Iruka and his team, who had just witnessed the scene, remained unfazed. They were used to such situations and didn't hide like other passengers, instead waited for the train.

At that moment, Sasuke suddenly spoke up, "Iruka-sensei, did that man shout 'vampire' just now?"

Hearing Sasuke's words, Iruka was also taken aback. There were some differences between American English and British English, and he hadn't paid much attention to what the man had shouted earlier.

Now, prompted by Sasuke's reminder, Iruka carefully recalled the situation and said, "It seems like he shouted 'vampire'!"
