After leaping into the elevator shaft, the golden-armored god landed heavily on top of the elevator.
With the blessing of his terrifying weight, the falling golden-armored god was like a sledgehammer, smashing the top of the elevator into a dent. The one-foot-thick metal suddenly made a teeth-grinding twisting sound.
Tearing open the iron door on the top of the elevator, the golden-armored god jumped into the elevator, forcibly opened the elevator door, and walked into a dim passage.
This is the scene that appeared in the first part of John Wick: Chapter 8. The golden-armored god will continue to move forward. After passing two or three corners, a black metal door with a coin slot suddenly appears in front of him.
Just put the gold coins in it and you can enter the killer bar of the Continental Hotel in New York.
Lin Zhongtian naturally did not carry any gold coins, so he chose a simpler way to enter.
"boom--"
The sudden loud noise instantly silenced the laughter in the bar.
Everyone turned their heads and looked in the direction where the sound came from.
I saw that the thick metal door was bulging exaggeratedly, and the black iron nails on the door frame were twisted and squeezed out. The wall connected to the door frame also had cracks, and the wall paint and concrete debris were falling down.
Seeing this scene, the band and dancers invited by the Mainland Hotel stood there in a daze, at a loss as to what to do.
The killers who were drinking and having fun pulled out their guns, and the tattooed woman behind the bar also pressed the button at hand.
A shrill alarm sounded, accompanied by a red alarm light. The tattooed woman took out a shotgun from under the bar, nimbly rolled over the bar, hid behind a marble column, and pointed the gun at the metal door.
The next second, a loud rumbling sound was heard again.
The black metal door finally couldn't bear the weight and fell to the ground with a creaking sound of twisting metal.
Amid the smoke and dust, a tall figure vaguely appeared outside the door.
Seeing this, the tattooed woman pulled the trigger without hesitation, and large lead balls sprayed out in the fire.
Seeing this, the killers in the bar also poked their heads out from behind their cover and shot at the figures outside the door.
Sparks flew, and the bullet was unsurprisingly bounced off the body of the golden-armored general.
The sound of ding-dang-dang continued to ring out, and the golden-armored general walked out from the smoke and dust under the hail of bullets, and his white jade-inlaid eyes swept over the people in the bar without emotion.
Perhaps because John Wick had just slaughtered a group of New York killers last night, there were not many customers in the bar. Apart from some members engaged in other professions, there were only seven or eight killers scattered around.
Among these seven or eight killers, there was Nicolaos Dunlap, who drowned his sorrows in alcohol.
This person was the killer who placed the order to dispose of the bodies of Zuo Yu's family. For John Wick's $14 million bounty and the prestige and honor he could gain after killing the legendary figure, Dunlap took an overnight flight to New York.
But as soon as he landed, Dunlap heard that John Wick had shown his prowess last night, killing dozens of assassins and escaping the siege, but now he has disappeared. Some people speculated that he may have left New York through some secret means.
After hearing the news, Dunlap didn't know whether he should be happy or disappointed.
But no matter what, before getting the latest whereabouts of John Wick, he could only stay in the hotel, drinking in the bar and waiting for further news.
"Shit! What the hell is this?!"
Looking at the golden-armored general who walked into the bar unscathed amidst the hail of bullets, the tattooed woman couldn't help but speak sweetly.
The killers in the bar seemed to have seen a ghost. They turned around without hesitation and chose to run away.
Dunlap is no exception.
But it must be said that Winston's ability to judge people and manage his subordinates is still outstanding.
Whether it is the black receptionist Charon or the tattooed woman at the bar of the Killer Bar, they are all extraordinary and loyal people.
Faced with the killers around her fleeing in fear, she was the only one who refused to give up. She hid behind a marble pillar, gritted her teeth and loaded bullets.
Lin Zhongtian ignored the fleeing killer and the tattooed woman reloading bullets, took a step forward, and rushed towards the escape passage like a heavy truck, blocking Dunlap before he could escape.
Seeing the golden-armored general appear in front of him, Dunlap immediately realized that the other party was coming for him.
Without hesitation, Dunlap pulled out the dagger from his waist and stabbed it into the gap in the armor at the neck of the golden-armored general.
Unfortunately, underneath the golden armor was even harder compressed rock, so Dunlap could only poke the tip of the knife in and could not advance an inch.
Then, the golden-armored god grabbed his arm and twisted it into a knot.
"ah!!"
The shrill screams echoed in the bar, causing the fleeing killers to tremble and quickly quicken their pace to escape.
At the same time, the golden-armored god stretched out his big hand and grabbed Dunlap's head, and the gray mist poured into his head like a snake.
Seeing this hellish and devilish scene, the tattooed woman who had just raised her hand could not help but stand there in shock, her face filled with astonishment, and a fear of the unknown rose in her heart.
…
On the other side, in the study of Zuo’s manor.
Lin Zhongtian's Zuo Yu clone sat on a chair, playing with the gold coins thoughtfully.
From Dunlap's memory, he had already learned the truth about the terrorist attack.
Dunlap, like John Wick before his retirement, is a killer affiliated with a powerful force.
John joined the Russian gang that he slaughtered in the first film, and the backer behind Dunlap was the Giovine family, an Italian mafia family that controlled the Los Angeles casino business.
The current godfather of the Giovin family has a young son named David.
David was very smart and had good academic performance since he was a child. His godfather valued him very much and was proud of him. He never let him participate in any family business. After he became an adult, David served in the army for more than ten years and retired with the rank of major. With the secret support of his family, he entered politics and became a politician who could walk in the sun.
"What is this Michael Corleone from another world line..."
Lin Zhongtian was speechless.
Of course, as a politician, there are many ways to win an election.
But the Giovin family was used to the Mafia's style of doing things, and apart from assassination, intimidation and bribery, they could not think of any other methods, so they used the old method to deal with David's political enemies.
As for why they chose Councillor Chow among so many political opponents, it was mainly because he is of Chinese descent and has shallow roots. As long as they clean up the mess when they take action, they can easily get away with it.
Killing Councillor Zhou would not only eliminate a political enemy, but also serve as a warning to other enemies.
As an old-fashioned mafia family with many killers under their control, the Giovine family is accustomed to using this method, and their handling of similar incidents can be said to be extremely sophisticated. They are best at disguising assassinations as terrorist attacks to get rid of suspicion.
Just like this time, the Giovine family found an anti-China organization and used their anti-China sentiment to arrange the attack, and afterwards asked Dunlap and others to kill all these tools.
At this point, all the evidence has been buried, and any clues leading to this anti-China organization will be completely broken.
The Giovanni family can also use this opportunity to get rid of suspicion and escape from the vortex.
Everything was developing in the direction that the Giovanni family expected - if it weren't for Lin Zhongtian.
"Terrorist attack, that's a good excuse!"
Lin Zhongtian sneered, and controlled the golden-armored general on the other side of the continent to let go of his hand, allowing Dunlap's body to collapse on the ground, then turned and walked towards the door of the bar.
After the other person's back disappeared at the door, the tattooed girl collapsed on the ground against the marble pillar, her forehead covered with cold sweat oozing from fear, her dark red lips trembling slightly as she muttered to herself.
“…What on earth is this?”
At this moment, Dunlap, who was lying on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes. His twisted right arm quickly straightened and healed. He stood up in a rather awkward posture, straightened his messy suit, glanced at the tattooed girl who was still immersed in fear and had not yet come back to his senses, then turned around and quietly left in the direction of the bar's escape passage.
