"Good afternoon 47. Your destination is Marrakesh, Morocco. Your targets: Kong Tuo-Kwang, head of a Chinese construction conglomerate and Matthieu Mendola, chief architect at Tuo-Kwang's biggest rival, Hamilton-Lowe. Mendola plans to double-cross his employer and leak non-disclosable company documents to Tuo-Kwang, including the confidential offer for a multi-billion dollar real estate project. In response, Hamilton-Lowe has requested that we eliminate both men and send their competition a clear message. Kong has rented a rooftop patio for the meeting, but the location is as of yet unclear. So, track them and eliminate them, and reclaim the documents. Good luck, 47." |
