บท 24: Trust from the Old Man
John Wick quickly calmed down and looked at the armored man in front of him, without any negative emotions of fear or shrinking.
"Kill me."
He said lightly.
He has been in this business for so long that he has long put life and death aside.
In his mind, he recalled a face that was not beautiful but full of tenderness.
There was also a lively dog.
Close your eyes.
"Really?"
Anton looked at the man in front of him.
Judging from Batman's experience, the killer's breath was very strong.
Killers are divided into two extremes.
One is unprofessional and says it when asked; the other is very professional, and torture is useless.
This man is undoubtedly the latter.
"Everyone yearns to live, especially people like you, who are in the darkest corner of the world, but yearn for light more than anyone else."
Anton was not in a hurry, and his tone was not hurried. He whispered: "Admit it, you want to live more than anyone else."
John Wick didn't speak.
"Woof!"
Suddenly, a crisp dog bark made him open his eyes suddenly.
Staring at Anton, the uncontrollable anger burned in his eyes like a spark of fire.
"Your dog is fine."
Anton walked behind John Wick, brought the dog, which was also tied up, in front of the latter, and said with a smile: "But I can't guarantee that it will die before you. There is a kind of food in the East called dog meat hot pot, which is spicy but not dry, numb but not strong, rich in flavor, and not greasy after eating for a long time. I don't mind letting you experience this delicious dish before you die."
John Wick's face twitched.
"Continental Hotel."
Seeing that Anton did not lie and did not dare to provoke his opponent with the dog's life, he was no longer tough: "I am from the Continental Hotel. There is no direct contact between the killer and the employer, so I don't know who is going to kill you."
Anton asked: "You don't know, someone must know."
"The controller of the Continental Hotel is Winston. He is the boss who controls all the killers, and the task orders are assigned by him."
Since it was exposed, John Wick no longer concealed it.
Besides, his identity is not a secret in New York, and many gangsters know him.
It is not difficult to find the Continental Hotel through his appearance.
John Wick thought he was unlucky.
He was not afraid of death, but he wanted to save the life of the dog in front of him.
This was the dog his fiancée gave him!
It was no exaggeration to say that it was a token of love!
"Continental Hotel, John Wick..."
Anton immediately matched the person in front of him with the dog in his hand.
What kind of mess has entered this world?
This guy doesn't look like Keanu Reeves.
While thinking, he was a little undecided about how to deal with John Wick.
Do what you love.
If he was not Batman at this time, he would definitely kill John Wick without hesitation, and would not even let the dog go.
However, he was now wearing Batman's armor, so he had to act like a real person.
The principle of not killing.
It is the biggest feature of Batman.
Stop killing with killing and fight violence with violence!
The two are very different.
If Anton wanted to play Batman, of course he would consider Bruce Wayne's original characteristics.
The principle of not killing is the principle that Batman has inherited from generation to generation.
Someone once said that the Batman who killed people is the Joker.
Anton disagreed, but admitted that there was some truth in this statement.
After all, with the talent that Bruce Wayne had honed over the years, it would be too easy for him to be a clown.
The two extreme sides are thought-provoking.
John Wick saw the armored man in front of him pondering, gradually putting away the anger in his eyes, and calmly waiting for his final outcome.
Bang!
Suddenly, a palm knife came.
He fainted again.
This time, when John Wick opened his eyes, he found that he had not moved, and his hands and feet were still tied.
The same was true for his beloved dog, who was snoring at his feet.
Slightly relieved.
In front of him, the armored man disappeared.
A young man and an old man were talking in front of him.
John Wick recognized at a glance that this was the genius director, who was also the target of his mission.
"Is he here to kill you?"
Jonah Jameson's face was gloomy. His years of experience and intuition, which he had developed after years of ups and downs in the business world, enabled him to immediately identify the mastermind behind the scenes. "
Life Foundation!"
Jameson gnashed his teeth and was furious: "I underestimated them, Anton, you hide for a few days, I will make them pay the price."
"No need."
Anton smiled and said, "I will take care of this matter. What you need to do is to help me finish it."
"Finish it?"
Jameson was stunned and looked at Anton: "What can you do?"
"If I can't do anything, how do you think I caught this person?" Anton asked back, "John Wick, the king of assassins in New York, do you think he is a street thug who can only steal petty crimes?"
"John Wick?"
Jameson was stunned again.
He looked at the embarrassed man in front of him. His bruised and swollen face did not show the demeanor of the king of assassins in New York.
Then his eyes moved down.
"The man doesn't look good, but the dog is well-raised."
After a while, he gave his evaluation.
"I'll leave it to you to deal with it as you wish."
Anton said, "Old man, help me notify the New York Police Department after midnight to go to the Manhattan Financial District, Wall Street Court to clean up the mess."
"Continental Hotel?"
Jameson has a wide network of contacts, especially in New York, which he is more familiar with than anyone else.
Hearing this address, his pupils shrank, and he turned his head suddenly and stared at Anton.
"Are you going to cause trouble for the Continental Hotel?"
"As you can see, yes."
Anton looked at him.
"Anton, the Continental Hotel has never been the key. Behind it is the High Table. The High Table is not our enemy, or even anyone's enemy. They only respect the rules."
Jameson emphasized, "You must know that our enemy is the Life Foundation."
Although there is no evidence to prove that the mission received by the Continental Hotel came from the Life Foundation, for Jameson, this is an answer that does not need to be verified.
"You are right, the Continental Hotel is not my enemy. However, since they have accepted a mission that cannot be completed, they will have to pay the price."
Anton hinted, "Besides, I went to the Continental Hotel to work, not for the Continental Hotel."
Jameson frowned.
He vaguely understood what Anton meant.
Of course, he still couldn't figure out where Anton's confidence came from.
He opened his mouth, but said nothing in the end.
He watched Anton leave the basement, and through the monitor on the wall, he saw Anton sitting in the car brought by John Wick, and sighed that the child had really grown up.
Boom!
The 1969 Ford Mustang sedan drove away from the villa area.
Jameson retracted his gaze and looked at John Wick, pondering for a while.
"The king of assassins in New York, John Wick, I have heard of your name for a long time."
Jonah Jameson touched his chin.
He took out an old revolver from his arms and pointed it at John Wick's head.
The latter looked at the muzzle calmly.
"I heard that you are going to retire. Are you interested in changing jobs?"
Suddenly, Jonah Jameson's eyes flickered, he put away the gun and said: "If Anton can solve the Continental Hotel, you will stay and work for me. If you can't solve it, I will kill you."
This deal is very unfair.
John Wick had no choice, but he could feel the strong confidence exuded by Jonah Jameson at this time.
"Why?"
John Wick looked at Jameson, full of doubts: "If he relies on the ability just now, he can't solve the Continental Hotel."
"He is my grandson."
Jameson said frankly: "My grandson has grown up. So I believe him."
Thanks to "Raging Water" for the reward!
