"Not a few, sir."

Vlad shook his head and explained softly, "The gold coins issued by the High Table are not linked to secular currencies. They are a kind of value entity that embodies rules and contributions. They represent the various services you can enjoy within the organization. These services are not linked to secular values. Their value is determined only by the difficulty, and the starting price is at least one gold coin..."

Lin Zhongtian thought thoughtfully, "That is to say, whether I buy a gun or order a glass of wine, it is worth at least one gold coin?"

Vlad nodded, "Yes."

Lin Zhongtian nodded suddenly: "So that's how it is."

No wonder he felt a little awkward when he first watched the movie.

In the second film, John Wick bought guns and ammunition from the bartender for only one gold coin, and also spent only one gold coin to customize a bulletproof suit at an underground handmade clothing store.

But later, when he ordered a glass of wine with the black bodyguard at the Continental Hotel, it actually cost him a gold coin.

The secular value of these three services is very different, but they all represent a service within the organization.

Since it is a service, the starting price is at least one gold coin.

From this perspective, the news circulating online that a gold coin is worth $100,000 is purely a rumor.

Lin Zhongtian stroked the gold coins in his hand and asked casually, "What can these gold coins be used for?"

Vlad replied: "Stay in the Continental Hotel, buy weapons and equipment, customize bulletproof suits, enjoy medical services, issue various types of bounty missions such as assassination and barter, and..."

Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows and said, "And the cleaning and disposal of corpses, right?"

Vlad nodded silently and said nothing.

Lin Zhongtian took out ten gold coins and gave them to Vlad: "These gold coins are for you. Go to the Continental Hotel to find someone for me."

Vlad shook his head and returned the gold coins to Lin Zhongtian: "Master, not everyone can use the gold coins. People who don't have membership qualifications cannot enjoy the organization's services even if they get the gold coins."

Lin Zhongtian asked in surprise: "You are not qualified?"

Vlad shook his head and said, "No."

Lin Zhongtian asked again: "Do I have it?"

Vlad nodded and said, "The master and the lady both had memberships. Now that they are dead, as long as you show up at the Continental Hotel, the hotel administrator will transfer their memberships to you."

"I see."

Lin Zhongtian nodded and put away the ten gold coins.

Then, he put the gold coins back into the safe, took out the sealed bag containing the documents, closed the door, and turned around and said, "Okay, I have no more questions. Vlad, you can go out first, and let me stay in the study alone for a while."

"……yes."

Vlad bowed and was about to leave when Lin Zhongtian called him again.

"Wait, I almost forgot about the surveillance video at the entrance of the manor!"

"Understood, Master. I will destroy them right away."

Vlad nodded, then backed away respectfully.

When Vlad's footsteps faded away, Lin Zhongtian opened the window of the study.

A golden figure descended from the sky and entered the study. It was none other than the golden-armored general who had been hovering above the manor.

Lin Zhongtian controlled the golden-armored god to pace back and forth, and finally stopped him behind the desk, nodding with satisfaction.

"Just here, it looks more comfortable."

After doing all this, Lin Zhongtian took out the sealed paper materials from the sealed bag and read through them with interest.

…

…

The next morning, Vlad came to the study door with prepared breakfast and knocked.

"Come in."

Lin Zhongtian's voice came from the study.

Vlad straightened his collar and walked in.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a golden human-shaped sculpture next to Lin Zhongtian. From its majestic appearance, it seemed to be a heavenly soldier in Chinese mythology.

Vlad has never been a talkative person. Even though he was full of doubts, he had no intention of asking. He just silently placed the silver tray with breakfast in front of Lin Zhongtian.

Lin Zhongtian was very satisfied with Vlad's performance, so he threw a jade token to him.

Vlad quickly caught it, raised his head and looked at Lin Zhongtian in confusion.

Lin Zhongtian did not explain, but just said: "Wear it close to your body and don't take it off."

Vlad hesitated for a moment, then put the jade pendant on his body.

After breakfast, Lin Zhongtian took the gold coins and left the study with Vlad and came to the underground garage of the manor, where many expensive luxury cars were parked.

At Vlad's suggestion, Lin Zhongtian chose a black bulletproof Audi.

The car is equipped with eight-centimeter-thick multi-layer hybrid bulletproof glass that can withstand continuous rifle fire. The body of the car uses a new type of polycarbonate material, which is 60% lighter than steel plates but ten times stronger.

Vlad suggested that Lin Zhongtian choose this car. He was obviously frightened by the news last night and worried that the young master would repeat his parents' mistakes.

Lin Zhongtian readily followed the advice and got into the car. Vlad, the driver, took him to the door of the Continental Hotel in Los Angeles.

After the car stopped, Vlad pushed the door and got out, then respectfully opened the back seat door.

Lin Zhongtian calmly got out of the car and took Vlad into the Continental Hotel in Los Angeles.

When he arrived at the front desk, a black-haired man in a suit raised his head behind the front desk, glanced at him, and spoke politely.

"How can I help you?"

"I want to get information about someone."

Hearing Lin Zhongtian's request, the black-haired man in a suit glanced at him again, picked up the black wired phone on the front desk, dialed a short number, and then politely asked, "What is your name?"

Lin Zhongtian said: "Jade Zuo."

The man in the suit nodded and reported the name to the person on the other end of the phone.

After a while, the man in the suit hung up the phone and said respectfully: "Welcome to the Continental Hotel, Mr. Zuo. On behalf of the hotel manager, I would like to express my deepest condolences for what happened to your parents last night..."

Lin Zhongtian nodded calmly and said, "I accept your condolences. Can I start serving you now?"

"Of course, Mr. Zuo."

The man in the suit nodded and then extended a hand.

Lin Zhongtian took out a gold coin and placed it in his palm.

The man in the suit put away the gold coins and pointed to the elevator behind him. "Please go to the bar on the third floor underground and find a man named Willen Lynch. He wears a pair of light yellow glasses, has no beard, and has a cigarette scar on his chin. He is easy to identify."

"Thank you very much."

Lin Zhongtian nodded and walked towards the elevator.

Vlad didn't have a membership, so he had to stay in the lobby and wait.

A minute later, Lin Zhongtian appeared in the bar on the third underground floor.

Under the strict regulations of mainland hotels, the Killer Bar is no different from bars in the outside world. Here, every killer temporarily forgets his identity and enjoys a safe life without having to worry.

As the explosive music sounded, men and women swayed their bodies and sweated on the dance floor of the bar.

Just then, a hot blonde girl saw Lin Zhongtian who had just entered the bar. Her eyes immediately lit up, and she walked up to him with a smile and wanted to invite him to dance.

Lin Zhongtian politely declined and then asked her if she knew Willen Lynch.

The blonde girl showed regret and her eyes moved to the corner of the bar behind Lin Zhongtian.

Lin Zhongtian thanked him, turned and walked to the corner of the bar, and sat in front of the man with light yellow glasses.

"Are you Willon Lynch?"

"It's me. You want to ask me for information?"

“…That’s right.”

"Don't be surprised. Everyone who comes to see me is asking me for information."

Willen had a smile on his face as he looked at the handsome young man in front of him with interest.

"Tell me, what do you want to know?"

"The whereabouts of Nikolaos Dunlap."

"Oh, it's him!"

Willen nodded, took out his phone, and while sending a message, he casually said, "Young man, according to the rules, I shouldn't say these things to you unless you pay extra, but who made you look like my dead nephew?"

"For the sake of poor Riley, I'll be kind enough to remind you that this guy is a tough guy who is not easy to mess with. There is a huge mafia family behind him. Don't mess with him easily—"

Before he finished speaking, Willen raised his eyebrows and changed the subject: "Yes, I found out that Mr. Dunlap booked a flight at 12 o'clock last night. He is estimated to have landed in New York now."

As he spoke, Wei Lun turned the phone around and showed it to Lin Zhongtian.

Lin Zhongtian frowned: "New York, what is he doing in New York?"

Willen put away his phone and shrugged: "Who knows, maybe he wants to get the 14 million bounty!"
