Chapter 33 John Wick, The Devil Baba Yago
The appearance of Emma, who was suspected to be the White Queen, surprised Roy a little, but not too much.
This lousy and cowardly American variety show world has left Roy dumbfounded many times.
Especially the Mutant Mist on Emma made Roy increasingly aware that his understanding of the current world was still incomplete.
No one knows what is hidden beneath the surface of this seemingly prosperous world.
At the same time, Roy's status, position, and power are not high enough.
Otherwise, with some reference (Emma), I can completely rely on many cobweb clues to trace some truths.
But it will be soon.
The two products, Oak Life Essence and Tulip Temptation, were launched for sale.
You can quickly collect a lot of money.
At that time, he could conduct preliminary research and analysis on CPH4, which would represent endless magical energy and his true extraordinary foundation in this world.
After coming out of Andrea's Tavern.
Roy didn't say much to Emma, but just took her directly into the car and headed towards Midtown.
Kurt Care Unit, Cardiac Surgery, Presbyterian Hospital, Midtown.
Emma still didn't know what her boss was planning to do. Before Roy knocked on the door, she couldn't help but speak. "Boss, I don't know what you're going to do, but if you're visiting a patient, maybe you need some gifts? Or maybe a bouquet of flowers?"
Roy was stunned for a moment and said, "Well, that makes sense, but why didn't you say it just now?"
Emma:"..."
"Boss, you should at least tell me what we are going to do so I can make some plans?"
"Um, you're not that greasy, overbearing boss, are you?"
"But don't ever say anything like I'm not qualified to question your decision, Boss. You'll lose me."
Emma looked at Roy differently.
Roy:"..."
You think you are good-looking and have abilities, so you dare to threaten me, right? That's really shameless.
What a bullshit statement from a boss.
No, that's not the case. I definitely didn't mean to say that.
Roy took a deep breath and said, "Inside the ward is a critically ill woman named Helen."
"Definitely, this woman is not important. What's important is Helen's husband, John Wick. He was once one of the top assassins in New York, and even in the whole of America."
"Our company's two latest products are poised to revolutionize the skincare and fragrance industries."
"So before the product is released, I need to establish a strong force guarantee."
"John Wick can be a good deterrent for us."
"Including your uncle and my men in the tavern, they will all benefit from this... Do you understand?"
American business competition is sometimes very direct.
Emma, who had worked as the operations director of the Osborn Group for a period of time, nodded decisively.
Plus, Emma's uncle Derek was originally a gang member.
Emma even nodded in agreement and said, "Boss is very wise. In this case, it doesn't matter whether you bring flowers or gifts or not."
"There must be something about the Boss that can attract Mr. John Wick inside, right?"
Smart people don't need to talk too much.
Roy gave Emma an admiring look and said, "Smart! Knock!"
Emma gave Roy a sweet smile.
But before Emma could step forward.
The door of the intensive care unit suddenly opened, and a tall man in a neat suit looked at Roy and Emma with a serious expression.
"John Wick?"
"Yeah."
"You should have heard that, right? Let's talk?"
"Yeah."
John Wick's appearance and personality are similar to those in the plot, silent as a piece of wood.
However, John Wick quickly made way to allow Roy and Emma to enter the room.
The intensive care unit for the rich is no less luxurious than a hotel.
John Wick first took Roy to the intensive care bedroom through a transparent glass and took a look at Helen, who was haggard and sleeping in the ward.
Then, John Wick brought Roy and the other man to the outer living room.
A simple cup of black tea was served.
John Wick didn't hesitate to speak politely. He got straight to the point and said, "I can serve you. I pledge my soul and life to you, Your Excellency."
John Wick is not an ordinary person, he has an extraordinary aura.
That's exactly why.
John Wick was very respectful when he first saw Roy.
Come to think of it, even if an ordinary person had a bulletproof vest, it would be impossible for him to kill hundreds of people in three movies.
Only extraordinary people have such strong will, endurance, recovery ability, etc.
Roy raised an eyebrow and said, "For Helen?"
John Wick's eyes finally showed a ripple, and he said, "Yeah, for Helen!"
Roy nodded, took out a magic contract, and said, "John, I must tell you that at this stage, I can only temporarily maintain Helen's life, and I can't cure her completely."
"I need time and money to improve myself. Only when I become stronger can I help you snatch Helen's life back from the devil."
When the word "devil" was mentioned, John Wick's whole body suddenly revealed a trace of struggling pain.
Roy continued, "It seems you know, right?"
"Helen's condition isn't a so-called heart disease, it's a demon's curse!"
John Wick looked down at his hands and said in a low voice, "Yeah, it was Baba Yago. I was once His believer."
"He once gave me precision, strength, and recovery under the night sky. In return, I will become His agent in the world, collecting sinful and ugly souls."
"I once thought that I would travel through Proxima Midnight, testifying to my faith with death, until I fell into His arms."
"It was only a few years ago that I met Helen."
"Helen is like an angel. She rescued my soul soaked in blood."
"For Helen's sake, I once prayed to Baba Yago with the souls of hundreds of criminals, asking him to set me free..."
The more John Wick spoke, the deeper his voice became, filled with unprecedented pain.
When he almost lost his voice.
Roy suddenly spoke thoughtfully, "He agreed to your request, didn't he?"
This is a question.
But Roy's tone was very certain.
