Hollywood What If

Chapter 238

[Wesley and the woman fled the scene. The woman, who introduced herself as Fox (Angelina Jolie), took Wesley to a textile factory.]

[There, Wesley met the other members of the Fraternity. They all seemed strong and professional at killing people.]

[An old black man introduced himself as Sloan and ordered Wesley to shoot the wings of the flies.]

"Shoot the wings of the flies."

"Ah, I really have something else to do-"

[The Gunsmith, one of the killers, pulled out a gun and pointed it at the back of Wesley's head.]

[Wesley Gibson had a panic attack. His heart began to beat faster and his vision became clearer. He felt time slowing down.]

[Fearing for his life, Wesley gritted his teeth and emptied the entire magazine of bullets into the trash can.]

[He felt his heart explode as he leaned against the wall. He was gasping for air, his face flushed from lack of circulation. He began to search for his prescription.]

[However, Sloan came up to him and showed him what he did. Wesley forgot about his medicine as he looked at the twitching, wingless flies. He was shocked.]

"What you're experiencing is not an anxiety attack. Your heart is beating over 400 beats per minute. Sending an abundance of adrenaline into your bloodstream."

"Wesley, you are not sick. You are gifted. You have inherited your father's talent. Very few people can do what you did. People like us. Your father is a member of our organization. From now on, all his possessions will be yours. We have already transferred your father's money to your bank account."

"Stay away from me, S-Sir. I, I have a gun."

[Perhaps confused by the situation he was in, Wesley pointed his gun at Sloan, but the man was unperturbed.]

"My name is Sloan and she is Fox. Everyone you see in this room is very good at killing people."

"You're insane."

"No, I'm not. The person who attacked you before is Marcus. He is the one who killed your father. Your father is one of us, the Weapons of Destiny."

"S- Stay away from me. You don't know anything about me."

[Wesley continued to point his guns at them as he left the square. None of the killers were afraid, though].

[Wesley successfully returned to his home...]

[When he awoke in the morning, he was surprised that it was not all a dream. Everything that had happened last night was real. The fact that he had a gun under his pillow blew his mind. Wesley quickly hid the gun in the toilet bowl.]

[Out of curiosity, Wesley checked his bank account. He was stunned to find more than seven digits. This confirmed that Sloan was not lying... Maybe his father really was a killer].

"Jesus H. Fucking Popsicle. I still don't have my billing report."

[Unfortunately for Wesley, his fat boss was there to ruin his morning].

"Yet you have time to sit here and Google your ass off. Well, I know one thing. Your evaluation is due next week."

[The female boss, Janice, used her stapler and made irritating clip sounds. Making Wesley angry]

"Attitude, poor. Performance, poor. Management skills, poor! Well, what are you looking for on the Internet? Huh, some fucking loser lost his head on the rooftop of the Metropolitan Building?"

[That was the fuse.]

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

[Wesley yelled at the top of his lungs. Everyone in the office fell silent].

"I understand that life is hard for you, Janice, because no one invited you to the prom. But that doesn't give you the right to treat your workers like horseshit."

[The fat boss was speechless.]

"I know we laugh at you, Janice. I want you to know that if you weren't such a bitch, we would feel sorry for you. I do feel sorry for you."

[Wesley grabbed his keyboard and walked out of the office. His friend tried to talk to him, but Wesley smashed his face with the keyboard. Intentionally creating a "fuck you" in the air.]

"I'm the man."

[Wesley muttered.]

[As he left the building, he realized that Fox was already waiting for him. Wesley got into the car without a problem. He had already decided that his old life was over.]

[When he returned to the textile factory, he realized that everyone there was not simple.]

[Wesley accepted that he would follow in his father's footsteps. So he began his career by getting beat up.]

[On his first day in the Fraternity, The Repairman, one of the hit men, started punching him in the face like a punching bag].

[After that, Wesley was wounded by The Butcher.]

[When he woke up from this terrible beating, he found himself in an ice sauna. Apparently, it was a way to heal his wounds quickly. There he met The Exterminator, a man obsessed with making explosive rats.]

[His life in the Fraternity was basically the same - getting his face smashed in and waking up in an ice sauna].

"I don't know who I am..."

[He muttered weakly as blood covered his face. The people around him fell silent. Sloan decided it was time to tell him about his father.]

[Sloan told Wesley that his father was one of the best assassins in the world. But Marcus surprised attacked and killed Mr. X.]

[Since then, Wesley has been motivated. He began fighting his instructors to get back at them for beating him. He also learned about Marcus. He realized that Marcus was indeed strong. In fact, he only had two missions that he failed. The first was to kill John Wick, and the second was to kill a retired agent.]

[Wesley followed the life of a hitman and successfully killed his first target.]

"Now that you can bend the trajectory of your bullets and killed your first target, I want you to know about the Fraternity."

[Sloan told him about the history of the Fraternity and how they used the textile to determine their targets. He used codes to determine the names of the targets, saying it was the revelation of destiny to them].

"Unless the High Table needs our help, we will only kill the people who are written in this textile. Now, the High Table has a mission for you... This is the information."

[Sloan handed him a document about his next target... Wesley's next target was retired agent Bryan Mills].

+++++

[Author's note: Yep, that's how I'm going to make the connection between them.]

[I posted three chapters today to make up for my absence. I'll probably post two chapters tomorrow to finish this summary... Probably]
