Chapter 16
Most of the exchanges between the killers started with hands, and I don't know if the killers in the Arab region all have Assasin blood, in short, the few people around them pulled out knives.
The carved knives were extremely sharp, but they were not enough to see on Richard and the two of them, and they didn't even grab their weapons, so they just knocked several men to the ground empty-handed.
"Enough!" In the dark, an Arab in a suit lit a cigarette and walked out, "Mr. Jonathan, please come with me, our administrator is waiting for you." Mr. Richard, please come along. ”
Walking through the old street, I came to a large building, and the men in the suit were very talkative, and talked to them for a long time along the way, especially John.
This is not surprising, after all, the one in front is the Continental Hotel here, and the manager inside is John's old acquaintance, Halle Berry, oh no, Sophia.
Well, no matter what her name is, at least she's capable enough to be John's friend and still owe John a life, and at a time like this, there aren't many people that John can trust, and Sophia happens to be one of them.
Walking through the exotic courtyard, they arrived at the manager's office, located in the depths of the hotel, where the man in the suit led them in and left.
Compared to the manager's office at the Continental Hotel in New York, it was a little more intimate, with a thick Persian carpet on the floor, dim lighting, and most importantly, a small table next to it with family photos, a picture of a black beauty and a little girl, it was Sophia and her daughter.
Before they took two steps, someone came out to greet them, but unfortunately, it was not Sophia herself, but the wolf dog she raised, Richard, who still had an impression of the movie, knew how powerful these dogs were, although they didn't know how to use guns, but they bit people to the next three roads, and they were combat pets that made men extra painful.
"I heard you like dogs, John." A female voice came from inside, which sounded quite sexy, but unfortunately, the beauty only had John in her eyes, and Richard was gorgeously ignored.
"Sophia."
Bang!
The beauty's answer was a bullet, a shot knocked down John, the beauty was in a good mood, did not hit him in the head, just hit his bulletproof suit and made him hurt, Richard saw that the two of them were playing so big, so he simply sat on the sofa next to him and teased the dog.
"Sophia, you can't kill your badge bearer." John didn't expect that what welcomed him was a bullet, and he didn't dare to play any more feelings, so he hurriedly said yes.
"I didn't kill you, I just shot you, and the suit was good."
John was almost angry, this welcome ceremony was really special enough, "I'm glad to meet you too." ”
"I'd love to shoot both of you in the head." Sophia glanced at Richard and saw that he was grinning at her dog, and continued to look back at John.
"I know." John replied helplessly, now the two of them are like a plague, whoever gets caught is unlucky, and the one who let them take the initiative to find the door is even more unlucky.
"I don't have a choice." As he spoke, John pulled out a round badge from his pocket, the same one in Sandino's hand.
"Don't take this thing!" Seeing this, Sophia was anxious, "You have been excommunicated!" This badge is nothing! ”
John didn't speak, just opened the badge, revealing only half of the fingerprints, which means that the owner of this fingerprint owes the holder of this badge a great favor, the kind that has to be paid back when he dies, and he was used by Sandino in the first place.
"This is your blood, your debt. Once you needed help, I helped you. ”
"Tsk, coercion, scumbag."
"I agree with that kid." That being said, Sophia put down her gun and turned to walk inside, where John and Richard glanced at each other and followed.
Walking inside, the three of them sat on the sofa, Sophia looked at John and said, "You can also see, I'm in management now, and I don't do the same things as before, so I won't go out and shoot people in the head at every turn." ”
"I'm not begging you to kill. I just wanted you to take me to meet him. ”
"See whom?"
"Your old boss."
"You're trying to kill Bellada?"
"I didn't want to kill him, I just wanted to talk to him."
"What can he give you?"
"Guidance."
"I don't know what guidance you're looking for, but when I took over the hotel, I made a promise to follow the rules of the high table, and if you didn't want to kill him, he would kill you, and then I was the one who let you in, and then someone would go for trouble with my daughter." Sophia said with a serious face, obviously, for the sake of her daughter, she didn't want to take any chances, "I know what you've done, John. But please keep my daughter away from these troubles. ”
"Sophia, I understand your feelings, I retired for the same reason as you. I just want you to give it a try, and whether it works or fails, we're all tied. John sighed, but insisted on pushing the badge over, this was his last chance.
"No, we don't have anything to do with it from now on." Sophia gritted her teeth and replied, this time she really started to hate John, "We'll leave in 10 minutes." ”
......
At the same time, in New York, in the pouring rain, a taxi stopped in front of a Japanese restaurant called Heike on the street, the door opened, and the female adjudicator stepped down and came to the counter.
"Smimarseille!" The standard Japanese welcome is authentic, and the chefs and waiters at the counter are all Asian, and they are all dressed in Japanese clothes, which looks like an ordinary izakaya.
"How can I help you?" On a rainy day, there were no guests, and the chef personally came to the woman and greeted her with a smile.
The woman didn't speak, just placed the black medallion she had shown at the Continental Hotel on the table.
Seeing the medallion, the chef's smile gradually faded, it didn't matter what his real name was, the important thing was that he was also a killer, and he was also a title killer, his code name was "Zero".
"I didn't expect the high table to come so soon." Zero smiled and pulled out a puffer fish from the counter.
"There's a mission. Someone who broke the rules and was standing on the opposite side of the high table," the woman said, looking at Zero.
"You mean John. Wick? Zero said as he cut off the head of the puffer fish with a knife.
"John. Wick and all the people who have helped him. The woman continued to stare at Zero, "You should have heard of him, in the past week, he has killed dozens of people, just because..."
"A dog, a car, I know and am interested." Zero watched the woman talking, while his hand did not stop, the kitchen knife did not tremble or hesitate in his hand, he just cooked a whole puffer fish, and then put a chopstick on the plate in front of the woman, "Puffer fish, it is highly poisonous." ”
Without the slightest hesitation, the woman swallowed the puffer fish meat in one gulp, and said with zero satisfaction: "I have served at the high table, and now I will continue to be loyal." ”
