Chapter 17: The Assassins

In the Grand Theater, a group of girls were dancing ballet on the stage, and the woman who had helped John and the two of them leave New York was still sitting down and watching, her head swinging up and down to the rhythm, and from time to time she was writing and drawing in her notebook.

The heavy rain was still falling outside, and it seemed that there was no intention of stopping for a while, and a big man stood under the eaves, threw the cigarette butt out, and was about to return to the theater.

As soon as he turned around, a figure suddenly jumped from above his head, and before he could react, the knife flashed, and he felt a pain in his heart, and then another pain in his neck, and a figure swung a knife and slashed at his neck.

Who are these people...

The big man fell down with doubts, and the two figures put their knives into their sheaths and quietly sneaked into the theater.

In this dark and rainy night, the ancient assassination technique triumphed over the modern firearms, and these Eastern European men were also considered to be experienced in a hundred battles, but under the knives of these Japanese killers, the fragile ones were as if they were Yusheng on the chopping board.

Zero silently followed behind the four apprentices, not so much a killer leader, but like a teacher, accepting the students' homework.

The two teachers, a man and a woman, smiled at the performance of their disciples, but unfortunately, the artistic attainments could not resist the killing attainments at all, and one after another the big men fell silently, until only the old woman and her students were left in the theater.

Four sword-wielding figures slowly walked from among the girls dancing on the stage, and the old woman's smile froze, and the appearance of these people meant that the guards were all dead.

"Stop!"

At the sound of the order, all the girls stopped, and they had just seen these uninvited guests, but they did not dare to stop dancing after a long period of training.

Stomp and tread.

The sound of high heels came from far and near, and the adjudicator came to the old woman's side.

"Get out!" At the sound of the order, all the girls left the stage, leaving only the old woman herself and the killers.

Soon, the old woman was set up on the stage like a prisoner, pressed to a chair, and the adjudicator stood beside her, looking at her with contempt.

"There is an agreement between the high table and the Russian Gypsies." The old woman also tried to struggle a little.

"Yes, but you helped John. Wick. ”

"He has the ticket."

"But the ticket is not higher than the high table. Your sins will be paid for with blood. Now, stretch out your helping hand and pledge your loyalty. ”

The old woman took a breath, put her hands together and stretched out, and then the whole person also stood up, "I have served at the high table, and now I will continue to be loyal..."

Poof!

A katana passed through the old woman's palm, nailed them together, it was a zero shot, and the knife was withdrawn, and the adjudicator came to the old woman, looked at her bleeding hands, sneered, and turned away, and she didn't notice it haughtily, or she didn't care at all, the look of hatred in the old woman's eyes.

......

Casablanca, Continental Hotel, Sophia stuffed a loaded pistol into her dogs' vest, Richard looked closely, as if the vest was also bulletproof, he couldn't help but sigh, if John had given his puppy such a piece in the first place, wouldn't there be so many things behind.

"Don't get me wrong, I really just wanted to talk about it this time." Watching Sophia's movements, John felt that she might have misunderstood something.

"Conversations between people like us?" Sophia put the gun away and stood up, "Let's go." ”

Richard stood up and followed, and John had to follow, "Richard, I really just want to talk. ”

"Yes, I believe in you, but I don't trust anyone else, and besides, I think Sophia knows the person we are about to meet better than you and me." With that, Richard caught up with Sophia, "yes, beauty." ”

Sophia looked at Richard and then looked back at John, "Have you been retired for too long, and no newcomer can see it yet?" ”

John knew that he was at a loss, and when he saw Sophia speak, he immediately closed his mouth, but it was Richard, who was muttering to her beside Sophia, and seemed to be more familiar with Sophia than he was with Sophia.

The three came to a secret stronghold, where they were stopped at the gate and searched for themselves.

Fortunately, Sophia, who was familiar with each other, was there, and the gun on the dog was not found, and the three of them were able to meet the owner of the place smoothly.

"Sophia, it's always a pleasure to meet you." Just as the three of them finished checking, a young white man came down the steps and opened his arms to Sophia, "Ah, and your dogs, of course." Can I touch them? ”

"Of course." Sophia gestured, and a dog obediently walked over.

"Jonathan. Wick. The old man looked up at John while petting the dog, Richard was still too young for most people to pay attention to him, "I've heard you've come to us, come with me, I'm pretty sure we have a lot to talk about." ”

Well, this guy is also extremely confident.

Richard didn't show anything, in order to complete the task, he can definitely act like an invisible person when he should pretend, and he didn't learn anything in the world of three missions, at least he knows that in the face of those who are eager to succeed, no matter how much they pretend to force them, they won't do anything to you, but will automatically make up tens of thousands of words of background descriptions related to you in their hearts, and for these successful people who have a successful career, you should shrink up, so that they will turn a blind eye to you in their eyes.

Now this is the case, obviously three people came in together, but the old man did not mention him a word.

"I'm curious, what kind of wind blew you here, are you here to kill me?" The old man and John walked forward side by side, chatting as they went.

"It's not."

Walking through the long hallway, the group came to a rooftop that looked like a rest area, but there was a craftsman there checking the gold coins one by one, the kind of gold that John and the others used in the organization, combined with the watering field they had seen when they came, this seemed to be the place where gold coins were produced.

"Mr. Wick, do you know the origin of the word 'assassin'?" The old man came to the table, poured two glasses of wine, and handed one to John, "Assasin, a follower of the old man of the mountain, Hassan, a man who smokes marijuana, but another group thinks they should be called Hasassin, which means 'faithful to their duties'." See that gold coin? ”

The old man pointed to a shrine behind him, in which was inlaid with a gold coin, an ancient gold coin used in the Order.

PS. The last two days are mainly plot transition chapters, which are arranged for book friends who have not watched the movie, and can also be regarded as a novice task protection mechanism, of course, the back is not the same, mainly to improve the strength of the protagonist. The next mission will go to the official mission, and it will be useless to know the story, so stay tuned. Also, it's good to ask for a recommendation ticket.
