Chapter 1188: Second Update of 2000 Words, Two More Updates Tomorrow, Please Vote at the End of the Month!!!
John has been doing well recently.
Since he reached an agreement with the High Table, he has retired completely. Although this retirement has left him with wounds all over his body, at least he has finally found peace and does not need to worry about someone taking out another blood oath contract and asking him to execute it one day.
After all, the High Table has announced that John Wick is completely dead.
Why would a dead man still interfere in the affairs of the underworld?
But some things are not something you can avoid just because you want to. One of his friends found him.
Molotov, a homeless man, was once a subordinate of King Bowery King. Bowery King was once the master of the underground black market in New York. He controlled many sewers and many homeless people. These people were his spies and brothers, who could help him collect intelligence and sell and transport some contraband.
However, Bowery King, the "king" with a big gap in his teeth, is a thing of the past. In the war between John Wick and the High Table, he was regarded as a traitor by the High Table because he helped John fight against the "Judge", although Bowery King never thought of himself as a subordinate of the High Table, he positioned himself as a collaborator.
Unfortunately, the High Table didn't think so.
Then he died.
Molotov helped John, but given his attributes as a minion, the High Table didn't try to kill him with all its strength.
He was lucky to survive.
When Molotov found John, John's first reaction was to shoot the bastard to death. It's not that he didn't recognize this friend, but... all the people who could be defined as friends of John would bring him trouble without exception.
He didn't believe that Molotov came to him to reminisce about the past.
Although he wanted to be like this.
Raise a dog, drive a car, and live a carefree life with a lot of pension.
Any guy who came to him as a friend, without exception, was looking for him to go back to his old business.
Just when John decided that if Molotov dared to ask him to return to his old job, he would blow his head off!
In the end, Molotov didn't say anything.
"To protect you..." John let the dirty Molotov walk into his luxurious villa. This decision made John regret it until now! There were black footprints everywhere on his marble floor!
Cleaners are expensive! A high table gold coin!
Hmm... a package of money to clean up Molotov's body.
"Are you crazy? Although I'm retired! But I'm also a killer! You want me to protect the hostages?"
John thought it would be better to shoot him to death.
Molotov also smiled bitterly.
If there was a choice, he didn't want to find John.
But there is no other way.
"I offended Kingpin." Molotov said.
John was stunned.
"How could you offend such a difficult person."
It's not that John underestimated Molotov. With Kingpin's level, Molotov would only make Kingpin want to kill him if he found Kingpin himself and greeted his mother. Otherwise, how could Kingpin know who he was?
The last business John retired from last time came from the Russian mafia, and the reason why that mafia was able to grow in New York was because it followed Kingpin's path. So he still knew something about Kingpin. He didn't understand what Molotov had done.
"Uh... this has nothing to do with you." Molotov took out a bag from his arms, and there was a rustling sound inside: "This is a hundred high-table gold coins. The high-table is now declining in New York, but its influence in other places is still huge. This thing is still worth keeping, so..."
He looked at John eagerly.
He didn't want to die.
But that was Kingpin.
He really couldn't think of anyone who could protect himself.
Maybe the police could.
But...will the police protect people like him?
Impossible!
He himself is also the kind of person that the police would crack down on.
What's more, he didn't want to reveal Keith's information.
In the final analysis, he became like this because of Keith's request. He had helped them find out the news about Tombstone, including Tombstone's lair. Otherwise, how do you think the two little girls knew where Tombstone was hiding? Last time at the wastewater plant, Keith didn't bring his own rat.
Originally, he thought that such information would not involve him.
But now he received the news that someone was targeting him. Because he asked about Tombstone's information. Brokers are like this. They are good at dancing and wandering around, but they also put themselves under the sight of all parties. He asked someone about Tombstone's information. His behavior actually generated information.
It's okay if no one cares. Once someone cares, he can't hide at all.
All his relationships seem so fragile in front of the giant Kingpin. The only person he can think of now, who he knows and is not afraid of Kingpin, is John.
"You know, I'm retired."
"Yeah, that's John the killer, you're John the bodyguard now!"
"Molotov's words don't move me."
Molotov didn't convince John in the end.
So he had to give up.
But the accident came faster than he thought.
The moment he walked out of John's house.
He was being watched.
John knew he was being watched. As a top killer, he didn't even need to observe carefully to feel that someone was watching him around.
He didn't intend to take care of this matter.
But after thinking about it at home, he finally...couldn't help it.
He still couldn't turn a blind eye to Molotov.
So he planned to... at least make sure Molotov could return to his dirty lair.
To be honest, John thought that as long as Molotov hid in that dirty sewer, no one should be able to find him.
Unfortunately, he was still too late.
When he found Molotov, he was being forcibly taken away by several ninjas.
Before John could figure out what to do, a silver light struck him. Obviously, the other party did not intend to leave any witnesses.
Almost without any thoughts, John subconsciously raised his gun!
Damn instinctive reaction! ! !
Then John was involved.
There was no complicated reason, and he swore that he did not intend to get involved, but it happened just like that.
The ninjas were powerful, but obviously not powerful enough.
For a tough guy who could flip a high table with a single car, the ninjas all fell to the street.
But Molotov was almost dead.
He was injured when he was trying to escape before, and was hit by a dart by a ninja. A dart shot into his abdomen.
In fact, if John had come a little later, Molotov might not have died. At least the ninjas would not let him die before they got what they wanted from him.
As a result, John and the ninjas spent a lot of time fighting... Molotov lost too much blood.
But Molotov did not blame John.
He even thought that John's appearance was really good.
Because Molotov had no confidence that he could survive the interrogation. Yes, Molotov had a very clear understanding of himself. He was not a tough guy, he was just a broker.
Expecting him to survive the physical torture... He didn't know whether others believed it or not.
Anyway, he didn't believe it himself.
Now he is dying. Naturally, he doesn't have to worry about leaking any information.
Although he didn't want to die, it seemed that he had no other choice.
At the last moment, he handed the special communicator for contacting Keith to John.
Then he died without saying anything.
Then the communicator rang...
