"Mr. Wick broke the rules."

The woman in black finally spoke, and her attitude was extremely tough the first time she spoke.

Winston thought that the other party was questioning him about John Wick's escape.

So he shrugged and explained again: "Yes, I know, but I have no idea where he is now..."

"You misunderstood!" The woman in black interrupted Winston rudely, looking into his eyes and said calmly, "I didn't come here to find Mr. Wick, but because Mr. Wick broke the rules in this hotel."

Winston was slightly startled when he heard this, and a bad feeling arose in his heart.

The woman in black continued to ask: "Is the body of the deceased still here?"

Winston frowned and nodded, "Yes."

The woman in black said, "Take me to see it."

Five minutes later, Winston brought the woman in black to the crematorium in the basement of the hotel.

Unlike the scavengers in Los Angeles, the scavengers in New York have become a part of the Continental Hotel, and the business of handling corpses has become one of the services provided by the Continental Hotel.

This is all thanks to Winston's management of New York over the years.

He has been a hotel manager for more than 40 years and has such a deep control over the city that he can be called a local lord.

As the saying goes, the emperor is far away and the sky is high. After being in power for a long time, local princes will naturally lose a certain degree of awe of the central government, and then do things that make their superiors very dissatisfied but they themselves do not care about.

This female judge sent by the High Table came for this purpose.

Looking at the cold male corpse in front of the crematorium, the woman in black said calmly, "Santino Antonio, the new member of the High Table, was killed by Mr. Wick when he sought refuge at the Continental Hotel. Am I right?"

Winston tried to explain: "I can't control Mr. Wick's actions."

The woman in black turned her head and looked at him. "You and Mr. Wick have known each other for many years. It's not an exaggeration to say that you are friends. He shot Santino Antonio in front of you, and you chose to stand by and watch instead of stopping him or killing him."

Winston frowned. "I expelled him."

"But you also gave him an hour to escape."

"He broke the rules in my hotel and I have the right to decide how to punish him."

“That’s the problem.”

The woman in black ended the conversation calmly.

Winston was a smart man after all. Although he was a little inflated due to years of power, he immediately understood what she meant. He frowned and tried to explain to her.

"I have served the High Table for more than forty years..."

"Of course I know your loyalty." The woman in black interrupted him calmly, "But let me make it clear first. I am not here to judge Mr. Wick, but to judge you."

“…”

Winston frowned.

The woman in black continued, "You have a week to deal with matters. At that time, your successor will be appointed. If you need assistance with the transfer of power during this period, you can come to room 217 to find me."

Winston frowned and was about to speak when he suddenly felt a vibration above his head.

The woman in black looked at him, and they took a step together and walked quickly towards the elevator they came from.

After entering the elevator, Winston took out his cell phone and called the front desk.

"Charon, what happened upstairs?"

"this……"

In the hotel lobby, the black receptionist Charon was holding a phone, hiding behind the front desk. He poked his head out and looked at the golden-armored general who was slowly walking out of the smoke and dust in front of him. He said in a difficult tone: "Sir, it's hard for me to describe..."

…

…

Three minutes ago, Lin Zhongtian controlled the golden armored god to fly at subsonic speed for more than two hours, finally crossing a distance of nearly 2,500 kilometers, flying from Los Angeles on the west coast to New York on the east coast.

After arriving in New York, Lin Zhongtian found Willen again to confirm Dunlap's location.

By the way, I asked Willen for a recent photo of Dunlap and memorized his appearance.

Afterwards, Lin Zhongtian took action brazenly, controlling the golden-armored general to descend from the sky and force his way into the Mainland Hotel.

“Boom!”

There was a loud bang, and the walls of the hall shattered as if hit by a cannonball.

The killers in the hall quickly became alert, took out their weapons, found cover and lay down.

Charon at the front desk also quickly squatted down, took out the pistol hidden under the table, and carefully poked his head out.

The hall was filled with smoke and dust, and a tall golden figure slowly walked out of the smoke. The outline revealed in the smoke was like ancient armor.

Charon's eyes widened, and before he could react to what was happening, he heard the phone ringing above his head.

After hesitating for a second, Charon quietly reached out and answered the phone at the risk of being discovered.

Hearing Charon's voice on the other end of the phone, Winston was stunned for a moment, then frowned.

"It's hard to explain. What does it mean?"

"Literally." Charon retracted his head and lowered his voice while holding the receiver. "Listen, sir. Before you can confirm whether the other party is hostile, I suggest you don't come to the hall and hide in the safe house for a while."

Winston was a little confused and was about to continue asking questions when Charon hung up the phone.

Hearing the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Winston frowned tightly and turned to look at the woman in black.

The woman in black said nothing and reached out to press the button to go to the lobby on the first floor.

Obviously, she wanted to see with her own eyes what happened in the hall and see who had the guts to ignore the rules of the high table and take action in the Continental Hotel.

Winston felt a little helpless, but thinking that Charon was still in the hall, he did not object.

At the same time, in the lobby on the first floor, the golden-armored general walked out of the smoke and dust, paused for a moment, as if he was identifying the direction, and then walked towards the back of the front desk.

The killers in the hall looked at each other, and the muzzles of their guns moved with the golden-armored general. Although they all pulled out their guns, due to the rule of mainland hotels that no one could actually shoot.

They are all waiting for someone to take the first step.

Finally, the first bird to stand out appeared.

Charon hung up the phone, flashed out from behind the front desk, raised his pistol and aimed at the golden-armored general, and said in a stern tone.

"Sir, please stay. I cannot allow you to pass through without permission before I confirm your membership!"

“…”

Lin Zhongtian was speechless. It was already this late and yet people were still fussing over these trivial details.

Didn’t you see that I broke through the wall directly?

They have already broken into the wall, do they still care about your warning?

Lin Zhongtian shook his head, ignored Charon, and continued to move forward.

Faced with this situation, Charon decisively pulled the trigger.

"Bang--"

The bullet cut through the air and hit the chest of the golden-armored general.

In slow motion, the brass bullet quickly deflated and turned into a round cake that stuck to the golden armor shell. It then fell backwards under the reaction force and landed on the ground.

"Ding Dong~"

The crisp sound echoed in the hall.

Charon's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes followed the bullets bouncing on the ground.

When he raised his head, the golden-armored general had already appeared in front of him.

A golden shadow flashed by, Charon felt a pain in his neck, his eyes rolled back, and he fainted.

Lin Zhongtian knocked Charon unconscious, stepped over his body, walked to the elevator door, and thrust his arms through the gap, tearing the door open as easily as tearing open a box, then leaped and disappeared into the elevator shaft.

At the same time, Winston and the woman in black came out of another elevator.

Seeing the killers in the hall looking at each other with guns raised, the woman in black couldn't help but frown.

Winston walked quickly to the front desk, looked at Charon who was unconscious on the ground, then looked at the twisted metal elevator door in front of him, and couldn't help muttering, "What on earth happened here?"
