The place where Wick and his old friend arranged to meet was one of the most famous landmarks in New York, the riverside scenery just below the Manhattan Bridge.
The agreed time is 6 p.m., the twilight period when day and night transition.
It's still early.
Therefore, after leaving the Continental Hotel, Wick and Long Zhan did not rush to the Manhattan Bridge immediately. Instead, they filled up the car with gas, then chose a restaurant and had afternoon tea leisurely.
It felt like time was almost up, so I officially set off to the appointed place.
When the two sides met, Long Zhan recognized each other at a glance. The old friend Wick wanted to meet on this trip was Marcus.
This was not the first time that Long Zhan met Marcus. The two had met before at Helen's funeral, so there was no need for Wick to introduce him.
Wick knew that Marcus was the one who saved him twice while sniping in secret, so he expressed his gratitude in person.
Marcus readily accepted the offer without being polite, and then the two of them gradually deepened their conversation, engaging in the kind of communication that only happens between good friends.
Because they were all acquaintances, Long Zhan himself did not need to avoid suspicion.
But nothing.
Long Zhan and Marcus didn't know each other very well. The two old guys wanted to talk about some inner thoughts. Long Zhan felt that it was not appropriate for him to be a light bulb next to him.
So I found a reason to look for the bathroom, and separated from the two of them temporarily to leave them enough space.
Long Zhan walked dozens of meters along the river and came to a man-made green area. There were walking trails and a row of benches scattered along the roadside to provide pedestrians with a place to rest.
Long Zhan was very satisfied with the place, strode over, picked a chair and sat down.
"That is……"
Just as Long Zhan was looking around aimlessly, he suddenly saw a vaguely familiar woman in a car parked on the side of the road dozens of meters away from the green area, under the shadow of the dense tree canopy.
Driven by curious thoughts, Long Zhan quietly approached to see more clearly.
When they were only about 10 meters away, Long Zhan finally saw clearly the face of the woman in the car through the side glass with a light transmittance of over 80%.
"Perkins? This woman is not dead yet? Why is she here?"
A person who violated the "taboo" of a mainland hotel was not cleaned up as Long Zhan imagined after being taken away by the hotel waiters. Now he is still running around outside. This really surprised Long Zhan.
"Could it be..."
After a short period of careful thinking, a long and vague movie plot gradually emerged from the depths of Long Zhan's mind.
Combined with the scene of Marcus appearing here to meet John, Perkins gave him "the stolen goods and the gains".
"Oh, I remembered that the hotel manager Winston only comes out to work at night. This bitch is still a member of the Continental Hotel. Only the manager can cancel the membership, so she is still alive for the time being.
The reason why she appears here now, if nothing unexpected happens, is that she was sent by Vigo to deal with Marcus. If the plot continues to develop normally, Marcus will soon receive a box lunch. "
After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, the doubts in Long Zhan's heart were suddenly cleared away, and at the same time, there was an additional multiple-choice question that must be chosen.
Should he meddle in other matters and save Marcus' life, or should he just ignore the matter and ignore it?
For a person who has nothing to do with him, Long Zhan has no obligation to save him, let alone take extra risks to save Marcus.
However, Marcus has been Wick's friend for many years, saving Marcus from increasing Wick's "favorability".
This is one of the benefits!
And Marcus himself is also a top killer. Although his close-quarter combat ability is a bit eye-catching, his long-range sniping ability is definitely world-class.
If you can make Marcus owe a favor, it will definitely be of great use in the future.
Coupled with the purpose of driving here, Marcus may have channels to help him launder the dirty money, which will be helpful to him.
Finally, and most importantly.
Almost all the elites under his command are dead, and Vigo, who is about to become a bald commander, is now at the end of his rope and his combat power has plummeted.
Even if a female killer Perkins is added, the threat to Long Zhan is not much.
This is equivalent to saying that even if Long Zhan goes to save Marcus, the risk factor is actually not high.
Considering these factors, although saving Marcus' life involves certain risks, it is actually a good deal for Long Zhan.
You can earn a lot of things!
After carefully weighing all factors, Long Zhan was basically confident.
"If Marcus can help me launder money, then I will find a way to save his life. Plus the additional benefits, it is definitely worth my while. If he can't do it, then there is no need for me to waste my time on him."
Long Zhan felt that this arrangement was the most reasonable. In order not to disturb Perkins, he quietly retreated back the way he came.
After sitting on the chair and thinking for a few minutes, I conceived in my mind a detailed and perfect plan that best suited my own interests.
Just as it was almost "time to go to the bathroom", Long Zhan got up and went back to join Wick.
"Marcus and I have already discussed your matter. He happens to know an acquaintance who can help you properly dispose of the money. As for the specific operation, you can discuss it in further detail." Wick said.
Since he and Long Zhan have fought together for many rounds, all the way from Virginia Beach to New York City, New York, they have developed a common fighting feeling, and Wick's attitude towards Long Zhan has improved significantly.
If they were just ordinary friends before, the word "ordinary" has definitely been removed now. Long Zhan is now Wick's true friend.
It is precisely with the recognition of this kind of friend that Wick is so concerned about the dragon war.
"Man, your ability is beyond my imagination. I'm very happy to be able to help you. Even if it's not for Wick's sake, I will help you get it done. Please leave me a phone number. At the latest I’ll give you an answer tomorrow morning.”
Marcus had witnessed the Dragon War battle with his own eyes, and was really shocked at the time. At this moment, he said that he wanted to make Dragon War friends from the bottom of his heart, and it was not a polite statement.
"Okay, thank you then. I'm glad to be your friend. This is my phone number."
Long Zhan didn't have the habit of carrying business cards with him, so he had to use the notepaper and pen he brought with him to write his phone number on it, tear it off and hand it over.
"Wait for my news."
Marcus took the note and put it in his pocket, turned to Wick meaningfully and said: "You have a new life, I believe you will have a way to get back on track with your life, let's go, you should hurry up and go home. "
Marcus knew that Vigo's son had died, and he would definitely not let it go.
He also knew that Wick was too principled, which was his strength and weakness. It was destined that if Vigo didn't take action, Wick would never trouble Vigo.
Under this premise.
If Wick does not leave New York as soon as possible, he is likely to be retaliated by Vigo. Although Wick is very capable, there is no guarantee that anything will happen.
In order to avoid such an accident, the best way is for Wick to leave New York as soon as possible.
Marcus kept his words to a minimum and did what a friend should do. After speaking, he patted Wick on the shoulder, turned around, and strode away.
Long Zhan knew clearly that Marcus had been targeted, and his departure was destined to be in big trouble. Without outside intervention, his life would be in danger.
But Long Zhan didn't give any reminder and chose to just let Marcus leave.
"Go home? Go home!"
Marcus's words echoed in his ears, but Wick's mood was mixed. He didn't feel the joy of going home because he no longer had a home in his heart.
"You have to have a goal in life, or you have to have some fun. If you feel too tired to be a killer, you are welcome to come and do PMC with me."
Long Zhan noticed that Wick was in a bad mood and extended an olive branch in a joking tone.
"I just want to have a good rest now."
Wick rejected Long Zhan's invitation from the side, adjusted his mood and said with a smile: "I'm going back first. Come back early after you finish your work, and I'll treat you to a drink."
