372 Chase and Kill!
Before martial law in Washington, John had already taken a flight arranged by Dewey to Berlin. Haze
The bounty on his head has increased and his trip has been dangerous.
And he learned through his friend in Osaka, Shimazu, that the retired killer who was called out was Kane.
A killer like him who was once a ceiling-level killer, and even faintly better than John in him.
That was, of course, before Kane gave his eyes to the raised table.
Kane, who has now lost his eyeballs, can only maintain his professional skills with the help of some special means.
Although Kane can still maintain a level close to his peak, he has no advantage for a top killer like them who can win or lose in the slightest of seconds.
But Kane has been retired for many years, and he wouldn't have been in this situation again. Haze
But it seems that the Marquis of Nagramon must have shamefully used Kane's daughter to threaten him, so that he would come back and hunt down John.
This fratricidal drama is indeed a bad taste of the Marquis de Gramont.
After all, the retired killer of the Continental Hotel said that there was no more, and there was no less than that, and he couldn't deliberately let Kane chase him.
Speaking of which, John increasingly felt that the so-called retirement was a scam.
How could they possibly retire as killers, and what happened to him and what happened to Kane illustrates all this.
Whoever kills, he will always kill him.
In the end, I am afraid that they will only die at the hands of others. Haze
John was mentally prepared for this.
Maybe it's not a blessing to die at the hands of an old friend.
Thinking about these things, Johann finally set foot on the soil of Berlin.
And when John set foot on this land, he lost the protection of the imitators, and he fell into the eyes of all the killers in Berlin.
The bloody rain along the way is skipped.
When a scarred John pushes open the door of the church that represents the Continental Hotel in Berlin with his bloody palm, he is not protected as he deserves.
The polite priest standing on the stage saw John's presence, and without saying a word, he took out his truncated shotgun under his stage and squirted it violently at John's chest. Haze
The impact sent John flying out in an instant, and the blow to his chest knocked him unconscious.
If it weren't for the new Kevlar composite bulletproof material concentrated in the chest, I'm afraid that the broken sternum would have pierced John's heart directly.
John, who finally woke up from a sharp pain, found himself in a desperate situation again.
He was now surrounded by malevolent men, and he knelt on a round platform, with a thick hemp rope firmly around his neck.
The other end of the hemp rope hanging above the high-altitude sling is in the hands of a strong man with five big and three thick.
There was no doubt that the strong man was strong enough to hang John!
But the strong man didn't move at the moment, just looked at John with a smirk, and from time to time rolled a roll of hemp rope in his hand to intimidate John. Haze
But there was no fear in the eyes of the battle-hardened John, who just kept looking for the new manager of the Continental Hotel Berlin in the crowd with his eyes.
Soon his gaze rested on a woman.
He saw the figure of an old friend in her, and this woman must be the new manager of the Continental Hotel in Berlin in Du Wei's mouth.
But before John could speak, the woman waved her hand down, and the strong man, who had been smiling, immediately pulled the hemp rope down from his hand.
Pulled by the traction, John was instantly hung from the ground by the hemp rope around his neck!
With his hands tied, he didn't seem to be able to break free from the strong knot.
Fortunately, the other party seemed to just want to give him a dismissal, and he didn't really plan to kill him. Haze
After briefly reprimanding John, the woman waved her hand again for her men to let John down, and then she spoke:
"John Wick, you should give me a reason not to kill you now!"
"Ahem!"
John coughed lightly twice, then took a long breath, then looked up at his daughter, who had the outline of an old friend in front of him, and said:
"I know your father, and I can avenge him."
The woman squinted, waved her hand again, tortured John, and then squinted and asked:
"Oh, yes? Looks like you've heard about the promise I made. Haze
So what do you want?"
John, who already had strangulation marks on his neck, couldn't help but bend over and gasp for breath for a moment before he raised his head again and replied:
"I want to be a member of your family and propose a duel to the Marquis of Gramont as an agent!"
Hearing John's request, the woman thought seriously for a while and smiled:
"Very good advice, your words do have the potential to kill Kira.
You've already messed with the Marquis anyway, so it doesn't matter if you kill his right-hand man, Kira.
It's just that if I'm not mistaken, the bounty on your head has recently increased by 20 million, which means that you can die at any moment walking the streets of Berlin! Haze
But...... I could have taken you away to Kira, so I could have avoided the trouble on the road.
And then there will only be two endings.
One is that you are killed, and the other is that he is killed, but I am happy to see either ending.
After all, there is always a price to pay if you want to join the family, I think you should have that determination, right? Mr. John Wick?"
"Yes, I've already made a choice since I'm here."
"Well then, happy hunting."
The woman clapped her hands, and the strong man next to her immediately let go of the hemp rope in his hand, and then walked up to John and slapped him hard and directly knocked John unconscious. Haze
By the time he woke up again, he was in a speeding car.
When the strong man driving the car saw John awake, he smiled and said:
"Looks like you're even better at fighting than I thought.
I thought you wouldn't wake up until we got there, but you woke up early."
John was about to sit up when he suddenly found that his hands and feet were tied, and he could only ask as he tried to get out of the trap:
"Where are we going?"
The strong man glanced at John's small movements from the rearview mirror in the car, and smiled silently
"Mitte Electric Heating Plant, a long-abandoned electric heating plant facility.
It has become Kira's home base, where he runs nightclubs and casinos that are not under official control.
He's heard that you've been caught by us and wants to meet your legend, so you'll have a chance to face him......
Speaking of which, the driver paused, and then said:
「…… In a restricted way."
Hearing this, John immediately stopped unfastening the rope in his hand.
After all, since the Mitte Electric Heating Plant is Kira's home base, if he breaks straight in, he will probably lose the trace of his target, and thus lose the opportunity to kill Kira in exchange for an agent at the Continental Hotel in Berlin. Haze
You know, every day he spends here multiplying the risk, and he can't afford to spend that time!
Only when he is in danger like this can he have a glimmer of life!
Seeing John quiet down, the strong man understood what he meant, and immediately drove at full speed towards the abandoned electric heating plant.
Soon, the strong man escorted John through the crowd of clubbers writhing wildly on the dance floor to Kira, who was sitting at the table.
Kira, who had a big gold tooth in her mouth and was playing cards in her hand, looked at John who was "sent" and smiled with satisfaction.
"Haha, John, that's a surprise.
It seems that the high bounty really appealed to many people. Haze
I've worked hard for you, leave him behind, and as for you, you can get out!"
Kira's last unkind words were obviously addressed to the strong man who had brought John, and in his eyes the Continental Berlin was really nothing.
Among the continental hotels all over the world, the Continental New York is the best run and the most powerful, but that is a thing of the past, and now the Continental Paris is the strongest trump card in this killer system.
As for Berlin? What kind of thing?
If it weren't for the fact that the Continental Hotel Berlin still has a bit of the above relationship, he could replace it in minutes!
The humiliated strong man did not have the arrogant look on his face when he saw John, but bowed slightly with a respectful face, bowed to Kira, and then turned away without saying anything.
During this time, the strong man did not even make the slightest eye contact with John. Haze
It's as if the two of them were indeed strangers.
Obviously, until John succeeds in killing Kira in front of him, the Continental Berlin will never admit that John is their own.
John didn't care about this, after all, these things had been discussed beforehand.
So now John, who seemed to have his hands tied, but who was actually ready to release himself at any moment, began to look around.
As Kira's lair, the defensive strength here is undoubted, and it can be seen that there are bodyguards in bulletproof suits.
And Kira, who seemed to be sitting at the gaming table without protection, was actually not just wearing a purple bulletproof suit, but also a bulletproof vest under his coat.
And he always glanced under the table, consciously or unconsciously, and predictably there must have been a troll taped under the table, like the priest who attacked him. Haze
As John looked around, Ki stretched out his fingers and shook them, and immediately someone took out the knife he had brought with him and stepped forward to untie John from the fiber ropes that bound his hands.
Then Kira opened a bottle of whiskey, poured a third of the wine into the glass on the rocks, pushed it in front of John, pointed to the stool, and said:
"Sit down, John, you'll never be able to drink such good wine after today."
At this moment, there was a commotion next to him, a guy with sunglasses and a blind cane in his hand, holding a coffee cup in his hand, quickly dodged all the bodyguards' interceptions, successfully approached the table, and looked at John as if he had eyes:
"What a coincidence, John, to see you here."
Hearing the voice, John's pupils contracted suddenly.
"Kane, you're finally here." Haze
Kane smiled, and after hitting the ankles of the bodyguards chasing behind him with precision with the blind cane in his hand, causing several people to fall and eat, he pulled open the leather seat in front of the table and sat down.
Then he put the coffee cup on the table, "looked" at Kira and said:
"Kira, John is my prey."
Kira grinned, showed her big gold teeth and smiled, then waved her hand back from those men who still wanted to fight Kane again, and spoke:
"Really? But he's in my territory now."
As Kira's words fell, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense.
Kane "looked" at Kira for a moment with his blind eyes hidden under his sunglasses, and then suddenly smiled: "Boom."
"I remember you loved to play cards? Why don't we take a gamble?
If you win him, yours, if you lose, you let me take him, how about it?"
Kira laughed out loud, and after expertly shuffling a good hand, looked at John:
"John, since he won and wanted to take you, what about you? What do you want to gain if you win?"
John drained the whiskey from the glass in front of him and replied:
"I want to kill you!"
Kira laughed again: Boom
"Good! Let's try it."
As the playing cards were distributed, John was the first to open his hole cards, a pair of aces and a pair of eights and a queen, which looked good, and was placed on 80 percent of the tables, which was enough to win the game.
However, Kira glanced at it and sneered with certainty:
"John, it looks like you're not lucky, you're dead!"
Kane, who was unable to see the cards, opened the cards on the table, apparently Kane's luck was much better than John's, four nines with a four, Kane's deck alone could win 90 percent of the table.
It's just that Kira's face didn't fluctuate when she saw this kind of big name, and she even wanted to laugh a little.
"Yo yo yo, what a big name. Haze
Maybe each of you thinks you're a winner, but there's always one winner at the table.
That's the dealer!"
As the words fell, Kira opened his hole cards - five twos!
As we all know, it is impossible to have five cards of the same kind in a deck of playing cards, and there is only one possible situation, and that is out of thousand!
Kira stood up with a look of mockery on her face and said:
"I'm sorry, gentlemen, you've all lost!
Don't forget that I'm representing a high table! Haze
All the rules are set at the high table, and what are you poor creatures who can only follow the rules do to fight us?
Hahaha—......
Kira's wild laughter stopped abruptly, as a poker caught in John's hand had already slashed his throat!
Kira then remembered the rumor that anything could be a lethal weapon in the hands of Daredevil John.
He had thought it was an exaggeration, but now that he had risked his life, he finally realized that he was wrong, and that he should never have given John a weapon to use!
But Kira clearly has no room for regret.
He could only clutch his throat and collapse in despair on his gambling table, which he would never lose! Haze
John, on the other hand, flipped over to the other side of the table, quickly took the shotgun under the table and fired at the bodyguards around him who had only reacted.
Soon, the room was empty, and the only person facing him was Kane, who was blind!
