The boss of the Tarasov family, a Russian gang in New York, was arrested!
This news immediately made the headlines of major media in New York the next morning! The news also sent New York Chief Prosecutor Harvey Dent into ecstasy. Xavi's first target is of course Kingpin, but Vigo is also very high in his capture ranking. Now that Kingpin is missing, catching Vigo is also a major victory, because catching him means that he can completely eradicate the Russian gangsters that are ravaging New York in one fell swoop.
"I don't care what method you use! I want to get out! Now! Immediately!!!" Vigo is now yelling at his lawyer!
Vigo knew very well that since his treasury was burned, his gang empire would face countless threats. Those officials and politicians who had once been used by him were now eager to disintegrate their power immediately and put themselves in prison. He died inexplicably!
The only chance of survival now is to leave the police station quickly and go out to take charge of the overall situation. As long as he is still outside, his deterrence will still exist, and there is still time for everything!
"Vigo...you know, this is impossible. You were caught by the police! No matter what we do, the police will detain you for forty-eight hours." Vigo's lawyer is also a barrister in New York. But regardless of whether they are barristers or not, they all play with the law. Although to a large extent, people like them play more with the law, but no matter what, they must abide by some rules. For example, the police have the right to detain a suspect for 24 hours, and in special circumstances the detention period can be extended to 48 hours.
Unfortunately, Vigo was in that special situation, and the district attorney readily granted the request to extend the buttonhole time.
Therefore, Vigo must stay at the police station for the next forty hours!
"Farke! Farke! Farke! I spent so much money to invite you here, not to hear what you say! I want to go out! Do you understand or not!" Vigo doesn't care about this, he wants to leave This damn place!
Vigo was still furious here, and on the other side of the interrogation room, Kai and Marcus were sitting opposite each other.
"Have you thought about it? Are you willing to help me crucify Vigo?"
Marcus is undoubtedly the most favorable evidence for the police because he is a victim and knows a lot of evidence of Vigo's crime.
"I don't know anything, how can I help you?"
But unexpectedly, Marcus was not as willing to cooperate as others thought. He didn't know anything about all the questions asked. This brought the case to a deadlock. If Marcus still said this in court, it would undoubtedly be much more difficult to overturn Marcus.
"Come on, Marcus, I know what you do. I also know that you don't have long to live. Cooperate with me and deal with Vigo. It will be good for you and us."
After bringing Marcus back to the police station, the police quickly investigated and dealt with Marcus' detailed information. The information showed that Marcus had advanced lung cancer. Not only that, the cancer cells had spread, and he only had three months left at most. life span. "I know you are John's friend. And Vigo's son was killed by John. What do you think Vigo will do after he gets out?"
"Didn't you say that all the black materials about Vigo's threats to officials and politicians in New York were burned? Now so many people want him to die, why should I take the risk?"
What Marcus is really afraid of is not Vigo. Killers and gangsters are actually two different worlds. Although they always interact with each other, they are actually not closely related. What he was really afraid of was the high table behind Vigo! There is no room for betrayal at the High Table.
Marcus has done things for Vigo that would put Vigo in jail. But the problem is that these things are all announced through the high table. If Vigo is betrayed, the high table must be betrayed! Marcus knew the horror of the high table.
"But the problem is that Vigo doesn't die that easily!" Kai didn't lie. There are indeed many people outside who want to kill Vigo. Maybe he can't kill Viggo, but that's another story. Although the Tarasov family is famous in New York for a while, their real main body is not in New York, their roots are in Russia!
In other words, as long as Vigo returns to Russia, everything can start over.
"Don't forget, Vigo is Russian. As long as he returns to Russia, it will not be difficult to take revenge on John. After all, as long as he offers a sufficient price, many people will be willing to help him kill John."
Marcus' eyes flashed, knowing that things were not going to be easy.
"Isn't the current evidence enough to charge him?"
"Please, is it your first day living in the United States? Rich people have many ways to get away with it. Besides, with this attitude, you are simply helping him. Although we can detain him for forty-eight hours, it will be difficult after the forty-eight hours. said."
Marcus thought about it for a long time. Originally, he thought that if he could keep his old life, after all, three months of life is life. But now it seems that he is not blessed with three months of old life.
"Then what do you want to know?" Marcus finally relaxed.
On the other side, Vigo’s deputy was also persuaded by Joe! Unlike Vigo, he is a New Yorker and he has no retreat.
When Harvey received the news, he jumped with excitement!
No one thought that things would go so smoothly! He obtained the latest evidence and went directly to the New York court to apply to deny bail to Vigo!
…
New Jersey. John Wick fills the dog bowl at his feet with dog food
"Winston...Police station? How is that possible?!!" John finally returned to his home with all his injuries and a dog. The dog was brought to him when he passed by a pet shelter. He felt that he was still Need a dog. This dog is very well behaved. It barely barks, just plays by itself in the house, and can understand many commands.
One can't help but touch its square head.
But just as he put the dog down, the phone rang.
It was Winston, the manager of the New York branch of the Continental Hotel. He and Winston were old friends, and Winston admired John very much.
What Winston said was that Marcus and Vigo were taken into the police station at the same time.
And Winston also received the latest news that the police have applied to the court for Vigo not to be granted bail!
Although the court has not yet given a clear answer, according to Winston's inside information, this request will be approved with a high probability. In other words, Vigo is basically doomed! After all, no bail is allowed, which shows that the police have obtained key evidence!
So the mechanics of the high table come into play.
The Tarasov family of Vigo is not one of the twelve families of the High Table, but it is also an extremely important force in the High Table. The High Table will not allow anyone within the High Table to betray him.
"I know." Winston didn't say much, at least he told him that Marcus was at the police station, and then the police got evidence about Vigo. Needless to say what happens next, Marcus is in danger!
Once it is determined that Marcus betrayed Vigo to the police, Marcus will be on the High Table's blacklist. At that time, he will naturally enter the erasure mode. Countless High Table killers will swarm in, and Marcus will be in danger.
"Get me a room, I'll be in New York for the night soon."
He had just checked out and gone home, and now he was going back to the Continental Hotel... John now understood a little bit why people like him could never escape the fate of a killer.
John wasted no time, he took his dog directly and drove to New York City.
Only three minutes after John left, more than a dozen luxury cars arrived in front of his house.
One of the cars happened to stop on the roadside not far in front of him. The back door opened, a pair of shiny leather shoes stepped out, and a white man about thirty years old stepped out of the car. He looks oily and has a powdery face, which is not a good thing at first glance.
Soon a group of bodyguards in black quickly dispersed around, protecting the man firmly.
He looked at John's house and frowned.
"John isn't home?"
A heroic-looking woman stepped forward, knocked on the door, and then turned around and made a gesture to the man.
It means there is no one at home.
"Check it out! Find out where John is!"
The woman nodded, and the motorcade quickly left John's house as the man angrily returned to the car.
What John didn't know was that he had just escaped a disaster inexplicably.
…
New York, Continental Hotel.
Winston receives John.
"How's the situation?" John was not very good at small talk. After speaking, John pushed out a stack of gold coins. This was no ordinary gold coin. In fact, in the outside world, this kind of gold coin could only be used as a precious metal product at most. But in the dark world, this kind of gold coin was the most circulating hard currency. Most services in the dark world recognize themselves as gold coins, not people. This thing works better than US dollars!
"It's not good. The headquarters has begun to be suspicious. I believe that Marcus's name will appear on the task list soon." Winston glanced at the gold coin and did not make any move. He just said solemnly. Winston is a gentle old man, a standard gentleman. It is hard to believe that such an old man is the biggest killer agent in the entire United States.
But that’s not accurate.
He is the manager of the Continental Hotel. Under normal circumstances, he would not be involved in any killer missions.
Although the Continental Hotel is affiliated with High Table, it also has its own independence. To put it simply, Continental Hotel is a supporting organization of Gaotai Table. Gaotai Table + Continental Hotel have formed a relatively complete economic system in the dark side world.
It is the high-table gold coins that serve as currency in this system. Just like banknotes are not linked to the value of the piece of paper, the gold coins used in the Continental Hotel are not worth the value of the gold themselves. It actually represents a piece of "credit" and a piece of "relationship", and is a currency popular in the dark side world.
The so-called currency is a contract between the owner of a property and the market regarding the right of exchange. It is essentially an agreement between the owners. The gold coins of the Continental Hotel naturally also have the basic properties of currency. It is an exchange contract of "interpersonal relationships" and a common agreement between the issuer and many participants. Just as it is impossible for a country to issue unlimited currency and collapse the economic system, gold coins in the Continental Hotel cannot be produced casually. For every gold coin, someone needs to contribute their "relationship" to serve the dark side world.
Therefore, Continental Hotel is not a killer platform, but a dark side trading platform in a broader sense.
Killing is just one of the services.
Other items such as arms, equipment, intelligence, various professional items, and even male (female) professional services can be purchased with gold coins. As long as you can afford the price, it is better than a beautiful knife.
"What should I do?" John asked eagerly.
"Before the high table issues the reward order, take Marcus out from the police station or kill him!" Winston said calmly. "Otherwise, once the reward order is issued, it will be too late. You should know that betrayal is not allowed at the High Table."
John was silent for a moment, then pushed the pile of gold coins in front of Winston: "I need detailed information."
This time Winston didn't refuse.
The news just now was given by Winston out of friendship, but the specific information cannot be done. After all, the Continental Hotel is a rigorous system. If he wants to maintain the specialness of the Continental Hotel, he must act according to the rules.
"One more word of advice, it's best not to try to rescue Marcus. There is a character in the police station who is not easy to mess with. If you offend him, the consequences will be serious."
"who?"
"Iron Patriot...Kay Wayne."
John turned to look at Winston. He was not isolated from the world, so he had naturally heard of Kay Wayne's name.
But I still said hello.
Why would a superhero go to the police station?
Winston made a helpless expression: "God knows."
John nodded, noncommittal, even if God was there, he would save Marcus.
Soon the information prepared by Winston was sent to John. After reading it, John didn't say much. He just took out the gold coins again. He needed to change his clothes!
It just so happens that Continental Hotel is in this business. Soon, various weapons and bulletproof suits were delivered to John, and then John disappeared.
No one knows where he went.
But interestingly, as soon as John left, the man who had gone to John's house to look for John appeared again at the Continental Hotel.
…
"Long time no see, Santino! Shouldn't you be in Rome at this time? Why are you here?"
"For John." Santino said simply and clearly.
Winston is also an old man, and he can guess Santino's thoughts in an instant.
"I don't think John can help you."
Santino comes to the Camorra family in the twelve masterminds of the high table. He is the son of the current Camorra family patriarch. Well, he will be the former patriarch soon, because the news shows that the Mora family patriarch is now in the intensive care unit. Waiting for death to come, soon.
However, according to the will of the patriarch of the Mora family, he left the seat at the high table to his eldest daughter Gianna Dantonio. As the youngest son, Santino was not at all restless.
Almost everyone knows...he wants the position of head of the family!
Anyone with a brain can guess what he would do if he came to see John at this time.
"Everyone must abide by the rules at the high table."
According to the rules of the High Table, no one is allowed to harm the twelve masterminds of the High Table! Otherwise you will be hunted by the entire high table!
"I know, of course I know!" A disdainful smile appeared on Santino's lips, and he didn't take Winston's warning to heart at all!
Winston's heart skipped a beat.
Santino was not a fool. Why did he go after John when he knew it was impossible?
Soon Winston came across a piece of information that had been overlooked.
When John retired that year, in exchange, Vigo proposed an impossible task. As a condition for retirement, he had to kill Kingpin's chief killer-Night Stalker! Everyone thought that John was destined to fail, but no one guessed that John really completed it! That led to John's retirement.
The mission that year has been studied by various parties, who want to know how John completed it.
Winston knew slightly more, evidence in which Santino played an important role.
"Blood Oath Badge!" Winston said with a solemn expression.
Santino smiled and did not answer directly: "Where is John?"
