After thanking Smith, Winston left and found an empty booth to sit down, then picked up a newspaper and started reading.
After hearing what Fox said, Smith asked,
"Who is the unlucky guy who has been rewarded?"
Fox took a look at the message he received and said,
"It's a guy named John Wick."
Hearing the name, Smith smiled and said:
"He is the one I brought you to observe today."
Fox asked in confusion:
"observe?"
"I thought you were going to fulfill the bounty, but what's there to observe about a retired assassin?"
Both Smith and Fox knew about John Wick, whom Smith had introduced to Fox when he learned about the Continental Hotel.
Fox basically looked down on the killers in the Continental Hotel. In her eyes, the League of Assassins was a hero like Robin Hood. Especially after learning that the failure of a mission had led to the tragedy in their family, she recognized this organization even more. Although they had lost the sacred loom, they were still practicing their former ideals.
But what are the killers in mainland hotels? They are just rats who work for money, which is fundamentally different from them.
Secondly, the members of the Assassin's League are at an overwhelming level in terms of strength, especially Mr. X and Cross's long-range sniping is even more exaggerated.
Hearing Fox's nonchalant tone, Smith said,
"Understand slowly, there's no rush."

the other side.
After dealing with a wave of assassins sent by Vigour, John Wick drove to the Continental Hotel.
John Wick, carrying a suitcase in his left hand and a canvas bag on his right shoulder, walked towards the hotel front desk to check in step by step. His steps were steady, but his face was solemn and a murderous aura surrounded him. It was obvious that he had just killed a lot of people last night. At this moment, he was more like an active volcano that was about to erupt at any time.
John Wick walked towards the hotel front desk. At this time, a beautiful assassin who had just checked in turned around and said to John Wick behind him:
"It's nice to see you again, John!"
"Me too, Perkins!"
After the two greeted each other, John checked in and Perkins left the hotel lobby.
After John Wick checked into room 818 of the hotel, he took out his phone and watched the video of his wife before her death. Then he took out the dragon ball from his pocket and murmured:
"Helen, if this is true, I will definitely wish to resurrect you."
John Wick then took out a bag with a rope, put the dragon ball into the pocket, sealed it, and hung it around his neck.
Carrying it close to his body is where he thinks it is safest.
After doing all this, John Wick got dressed, got up and went out and walked towards the underground bar.
Arriving at the door of the underground bar and inserting a Continental Hotel gold coin, John Wick entered here.
After entering the bar, John Wick looked around, but found that there was no African killer. Seeing this situation, he frowned slightly. Normally, there are more African killers in mainland hotels, so it is impossible that there are none in the bar.
John Wick walked into the bar and even saw Perkins, nodding and greeting him.
John Wick looked past the crowd and saw Winston sitting in the booth, so he walked straight over.
"Hello, Winston."
Winston closed the newspaper and looked up at the man in front of him, a smile on his face.
"Jonathan."
John Wick's full name is Jonathan John Wick. Others usually call him John Wick, and if they are on good terms with him, they call him Jonathan.
Seeing John Wick sitting in front of him, Winston took off his glasses and said,
"From what I recall, you are the one who never cleans up the mess."
John Wick smiled and said,
"That's about right."
Winston looked at the man in front of him and continued to ask:
"What can I do for you?"
John Wick spoke up:
"Rusev Tarasov."
Winston wondered:
"What's wrong with him?"
John Wick continued:
"I want to talk to him."
Winston picked up the glass in front of him and took a sip, then said,
"Let's talk, huh."
"I'm familiar with that kind of talk, Jonathan."
"I want to ask you, have you ever been a prodigal son?"
When Winston asked him why he came back since he had already retired, John Wick said calmly,
"Just visiting."
Hearing this answer, Winston asked seriously:
"Have you ever thought about it?"
"Totally."
"You dodged it once, you were in too deep."
"You may find a way out of it, but you'll only get deeper into it."
John Wick ignored Winston's suggestive words and interrupted directly:
"Where can I find him?"
When Winston saw John Wick say this, he spoke directly:
"You know the rules here. Don't do bad things here to avoid severe punishment."
Then he picked up the glass and took a sip of whiskey, then continued:
"Have a drink first, then relax."
"Now···"
Just as Winston picked up the pen and prepared to write down the address, John Wick stood up and interrupted,
"This is a private matter."
Seeing John Wick get up and leave, Winston shook his head and thought to himself:
"When you step into this place again, do you really think that others will think you are completely retired..."
John Wick walked towards the bar counter to obtain intelligence.
Eddie saw the person coming and exclaimed,
"Oh my God, Jonathan."
"Hey Eddie."
Eddie pulled John Wick's neck for a kiss.
"Oh my god, it's been four years since we last met."
John Wick shook his head and said,
"More than five years."
Eddie asked curiously,
"Tell me, what is retirement life like?"
John Wick said,
"Very good, Eddie."
"It's a much better life than I deserve."
Eddie then said in a low voice:
"Hey, I'm sorry about your wife..."
John Wick interrupted,
"Thank you."
Eddie looked up at John Wick and said seriously:
"I've never seen you like this."
John Wick asked doubtfully,
"What does it look like?"
Eddie looked at John Wick seriously and said slowly:
"Hairy."
John Wick took a deep breath and then said,
"I'm retired."
Hearing this answer, Eddie smiled, and then said,
"As long as you drink here, it means you don't have it."
Then he pointed to the wine cabinet behind him and said:
"Same old?"
"OK."
At this time, in the booth on the other side, Fox glanced at the information on his phone and then looked at John Wick at the bar and said,
"Smith, the price of this guy has risen to 4 million US dollars."
"By the way, I'll give you 4 extra Continental Hotel gold coins."
