Although he and John were old acquaintances, John had already retired. His disciple made a mistake and should be punished. That's how the world of assassins works. No matter how much he wanted to protect his protégé, what could he do?
When Giana returned to Italy, she heard the news that the guy's apprentice had come to Italy, so she immediately issued a kill order and also commanded her subordinates to retrieve information about him.
She just didn't expect that this guy's strength was average, but his background was indeed significant.
John Wick's second disciple.
A tenant who had lived in Killer's Home for many years.
His first identity was fine; he was just the apprentice of a top assassin, and it was still possible to kill him. But the problem lay with his second identity.
Killer's Home!
No one knew how many assassins Killer's Home had taken in since its establishment.
No one even knew who the mastermind behind Killer's Home was.
But they only knew one thing: if the person in charge of Killer's Home were to speak, many assassins would be willing to serve him.
And the reason why everyone in the underground world held Killer's Home in awe was precisely this: no one knew if their friends, subordinates, or superiors had ever been sheltered by Killer's Home.
But without exception, it was an unparalleled honor for an assassin to be sheltered by Killer's Home during their most dangerous time.
Killer's Home would also establish a special contractual relationship with the assassins, and the assassins would actively uphold the honor of Killer's Home.
Although they usually wouldn't appear or help, once the person in charge needed this favor, it had to be repaid.
There were even top assassins who regretted not being able to repay this favor in time, and Killer's Home had only been established for a few decades.
One can imagine what kind of legend that person in charge truly was.
Unfortunately, at Giana's current level, she couldn't access information about the person in charge of Killer's Home.
But this did not affect her judgment of the danger of Killer's Home.
As long as you live in Killer's Home, it means your safety is protected by Killer's Home.
If anyone dared to kill someone sheltered by Killer's Home, he would face crazy retaliation.
However, this rule only applied within Killer's Home; once outside, they were no longer protected.
But how could you guarantee that a top assassin wouldn't take action against you to repay a favor?
So, for the sake of her own life, Giana still revoked the kill order on Zhang Jie.
You know, this guy had lived in Killer's Home for many years.
Unfortunately, she had no idea, or perhaps subconsciously overlooked, that the former Zhang Jie was a useless nobody.
She looked at the woman named Lisa on the last page; she knew this woman all too well.
"Qian Mian of the Aurora organization? Hehe~"
Giana's understanding of this woman named Lisa far surpassed that of others, because, coincidentally, she had dealings with the Aurora organization.
This was a group exceptionally skilled at disguise and at using all sorts of leverage to control others.
But what did she want to do by approaching Zhang Jie?
A question arose in Giana's mind.
You know, no one gets up early without a profit. Since Qian Mian made such a choice, she must have her reasons.
And given her habits, she probably wanted to get the guest list of Killer's Home, right?
After all, assassins who had stayed at Killer's Home never revealed the fact that they had once lived there to others.
Once she got this list, she could manipulate things, right?
There was nothing wrong with targeting the person who had lived in Killer's Home the longest, but unfortunately, Zhang Jie seemed to be completely unaware, and she had also failed.
Moreover, Qian Mian's reputation in the underground world was not good; if it weren't for the leverage she held, no one would truly be willing to work for her.
"This is the latest intelligence."
Another piece of paper was handed to Giana. She took it casually, glanced at it, and exclaimed, "What? Before this, Zhang Jie had already fought with Russell's tactical squad?"
Giana didn't think there was any grudge between Zhang Jie and Russell's squad, but the first person she thought of was the woman named Lisa.
"Things are getting interesting."
Giana casually placed the document into the shredder, and with a rustling sound, the document completely disappeared.
On the other side, Zhang Jie and the others were still nervously evading the pursuers behind them, when they suddenly found that the people behind them had ceased their pursuit, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"Hmm?"
What happened? Why did everyone suddenly disappear?
Zhang Jie was a bit confused. He was escaping perfectly fine, but the people chasing him were gone.
This was unscientific.
But what annoyed him more was that Russell's squad had fled.
Did that mean he got beaten for nothing tonight?
No, that's not right, he got beaten twice.
Then the two of them, though temporarily very depressed, made Zhang Jie very upset.
In contrast, the three guys behind him were in a good mood at the moment.
"Yay, this is the feeling that made my mood good again." Caesar seemed very excited.
Although he couldn't go on a killing spree, this pre-meal exercise made him feel great.
Jensen's expression was the same.
Yin Yang didn't speak, but his little eyes betrayed him.
Comfortable~
Zhang Jie sighed. What kind of monsters had he brought with him this time?
You got beaten, and not only are you not angry, but you're smiling. If it were me, I'd twist his head off.
As if sensing Zhang Jie's displeasure, Caesar reached out and patted Zhang Jie's shoulder, "Hey! Zhang! Don't think so much. We fought, and we're all unharmed. Isn't that what we should be happiest about?"
Hearing this, it seemed to make sense.
So Zhang Jie turned around and drove back to the hotel, wobbling.
Casually abandoning the dilapidated car on the street, the group switched to a different hotel and rested.
This kind of fighting, where the opponent suddenly disappears halfway through, is really annoying.
There was nothing they could do; they were unfamiliar with this place.
Zhang Jie began to suspect that someone was deliberately messing with him.
Harboring such thoughts, Zhang Jie finally fell into a deep sleep.
On the other side, the still ringing phone was picked up by John, "Hello?"
"Ha, thank the Jade Emperor, you finally answered the phone!"
Mr. Song's voice came through the receiver.
When John heard his voice, he asked somewhat confused, "What happened?"
Normally, Mr. Song rarely called him.
"Giana discovered that his brother's death was unnatural and found evidence that your apprentice was hoarding private goods."
Although this sentence was very short, it revealed a lot of information.
When John heard this, his hand gripping the phone tightened, "What's going on?!"
Then Mr. Song on the other end of the line recounted everything that happened today to John. After hearing Giana see Zhang Jie pick up that blood oath coin through the surveillance footage,
John was speechless.
Of all the luck, that one surveillance camera just happened to capture that tiny bit of footage, precisely the moment Zhang Jie picked up the coin.
But what he didn't expect was that Giana actually made a special trip.
You know, her relationship with her brother Santino wasn't good.
"I'm already retired, can't you let this old man rest for a bit, kid?"
John said helplessly, while in the distance, Hades was urinating on a green plant.
