Watching John Wick leave the hotel, Winston walked up to Smith.

"Mr. Smith, do you think John Wick will be able to come to you alive by then?"

For Winston, the League of Assassins has the ability to protect John Wick, but he doesn't know how much effort the other party will put into this matter.

This incident may even cause the two forces that had already ceased fighting to fight again. After all, John Wick's incident this time could be a big deal or a small one, and it all depends on how the 12 elders at the high table treat the rules of the Continental Hotel.

Smith Doyle smiled, looked at Winston and said:

"If he doesn't even have the ability to get there alive, there's no point in keeping him alive."

Winston understood that John Wick had to show his worth.

"Thank you for Jonathan."

...

It was raining heavily outside at this time, and John Wick returned home in the rain.

John Wick returned home, looked at the photo of him and his wife in the frame, filled with longing. He took out his mobile phone and watched his wife's video again.

Two of the seven dragon balls have been obtained, leaving five.

Helen, wait for me.

Just when John Wick was missing his wife, the doorbell rang.

John Wick opened the door and the person who came in was Charon, the waiter at the Continental Hotel.

"Mr. Wick."

"You can come with me if you like."

John didn't say anything, but just nodded, which was considered as his agreement.

······

Charon drove Winston's Rolls-Royce and took John Wick to meet Winston.

John Wick, sitting in the back seat of the car, knew full well that he would need to head to the League of Assassins after meeting Winston and the wanted warrant began.

His test is to fight his way out of the encirclement. If he can get there alive, the pursuit in the hotel will no longer be a problem. As for death, all problems will be over.

The League of Assassins will be his hope of survival. After looking at the scenery outside the car, John Wick waited quietly.

Soon, the car arrived at the entrance of a park. The warm sun was rising and the sky was just getting bright.

John got out of the car, and Charon came up to John, shook his hand, and said,

"It's nice to be with you, Mr. Wick."

"goodbye."

Then he pointed in a direction of the park, indicating that the person waiting for him was there.

John Wick walked into the park, crossed an overpass, saw Winston sitting in the center of the square, and walked up.

Looking at John Wick who was walking up to him, Winston greeted him,

"Jonathan."

John Wick got straight to the point and asked:

"Winston, what will be my punishment?"

Winston sat on the steps, looked at John, and said seriously:

"The Camorra has increased the bounty on Santino to 20 million, and they want you to bring back the two dragon balls in your hands."

"You are now being hunted worldwide."

Hearing the name of Camorra, John asked in confusion:

"High table?"

Winston nodded.

"Yes, I do."

Then John Wick continued:

"And your Continental Hotel?"

Winston raised his head, looked directly at John, and said in an angry tone:

"You killed someone in the Continental, Jonathan."

"You leave me no choice but to announce your expulsion."

"Everything related to the Continental Hotel is now closed to you."

At this time, Winston stood up, walked to John Wick and said,

"I'm sorry, you have lost your life now."

John's voice was a little hoarse at this time:

"Then why am I not dead yet?"

After hearing John's words, Winston said solemnly:

"Because I don't think it's time yet."

Then Winston was seen nodding to a man in a black windbreaker next to him.

The next moment, the man in the windbreaker took out his cell phone and said:

"Now."

The park, which was originally bustling with people, suddenly seemed to have pressed the pause button, and everyone stopped moving.

John Wick looked around and knew Winston was not joking.

After making sure that John Wick understood the situation, Winston nodded again, and the next second, people in the park started moving around again.

At this time, Winston looked at the watch on his wrist and said to John,

"You still have an hour. I can't delay too long."a!

"Maybe you'll need this later."

A blood badge appeared in Winston's hand. It was the blood badge that John Wick once held. He obtained it after helping others, but he gave it to Winston when he chose to retire.

Today, Winston took the Blood Pact badge that John once held and returned it to John Wick.

Taking the blood covenant badge, John Wick said:

"Winston, tell them, tell everyone."

"No matter what the future holds, no matter what method is used, I will kill the killers who come to my door, kill them all."

Winston looked at John Wick, who looked serious, and smiled,

"Of course you would."

Looking at John Wick who was about to turn around and leave, Winston thought of Smith Doyle at the Continental Hotel and spoke again:

"You only have two options for survival."

"The League of Assassins and the Elders of the High Table."

"The former can save you, and the latter can cancel the reward."

After hearing the two ways of survival pointed out by Winston, John Wick knew very well that the only way for him was to join the League of Assassins.

John Wick stopped and said, "Thank you, Winston."

Then he left the park without looking back.

Looking at John Wick who was leaving, Winston picked up his phone and dialed: "Open an account, 1 1 1 1 1, one hour later, John Wick, exile."

What the two men didn't know was that at this moment Smith Doyle and Fox were on the building outside the park, watching the conversation between the two men through binoculars.

Fox glanced at the text message and said,

"The price has increased again. It's 20 million US dollars."

"John Wick should be number one on the Continental Hotel's wanted list right now."

"The people of Camorra have also begun to take an interest in Dragon Balls."

"Do you know the information about Dragon Ball?"

Smith Doyle turned off the battle power display. No one below showed up to surprise him, so he said,

"If the secret of Dragon Ball was so easy to know, it wouldn't be unknown now."

"But it still attracted some attention. Now many killers have started to investigate this thing."

"After all, what John Wick and Santino are looking for is bound to attract people's interest."

Fox nodded in approval:

"It will indeed attract people. I hope John Wick can reach the entrance of the textile factory alive."

Smith Doyle glanced at John Wick who was walking away and said,

"Let's go, follow him and watch John Wick's performance."
