The place where Wick made an appointment to meet with his old friend is one of the most famous landmarks in New York, the riverside scenery just below the Manhattan Bridge.
The agreed time is 6 p.m., the twilight period when day and night meet.
It's still early.
Therefore, after leaving the Continental Hotel, Wick and Long Zhan did not rush to the Manhattan Bridge immediately. Instead, they filled up the car with gas, then chose a restaurant and had afternoon tea leisurely.
When I felt that time was almost up, I officially set off to the appointed place.
When the two sides met, Long Zhan recognized each other at a glance. The old friend Wick wanted to meet on this trip was Marcus.
This was not the first time that Long Zhan met Marcus. The two had met before at Helen's funeral, so there was no need for Wick to introduce him.
Wick knew that Marcus was the one who saved him twice while secretly sniping, so he expressed his gratitude in person.
Marcus accepted it readily without being polite, and then the two of them gradually deepened their conversation, engaging in the kind of communication that only happens between good friends.
Because they were all acquaintances, Long Zhan himself didn't need to go out of his way to avoid suspicion.
But what?
Long Zhan and Marcus didn't know each other very well. The two old friends wanted to talk about some inner thoughts. Long Zhan felt that it was not appropriate for him to be a light bulb next to him.
So I found an excuse to find the bathroom, and temporarily separated myself from the two of them, leaving them enough space.
Long Zhan walked dozens of meters along the river and came to a man-made green area. There were walking trails and a row of benches scattered along the roadside to provide pedestrians with a place to rest.
Long Zhan was very satisfied with this place, strode over, picked a chair and sat down.
"That is……"
Just as Long Zhan was looking around aimlessly, he suddenly saw a vaguely familiar woman in a car parked on the side of the road dozens of meters away from the green area, under the shadow of the dense tree canopy.
Driven by curious thoughts, Long Zhan quietly approached to see more clearly.
When they were only about 10 meters away, Long Zhan finally saw clearly the face of the woman in the car through the side glass with a light transmittance of over 80%.
"Perkins? This woman is not dead yet? Why is she here?"
A person who violated the "taboo" of a mainland hotel was not cleaned up as Long Zhan imagined after being taken away by the hotel attendants. He is now still running around outside. This really surprised Long Zhan.
"Could it be..."
After a short period of careful thinking, a plot from a movie as far back as Mohu gradually emerged from the depths of Long Zhan's mind.
Combined with this, Marcus appears here to meet with John, and is "taken and stolen" by Perkins.
"Oh, I remembered that the hotel manager Winston has to go to work at night. This bitch is still a member of the Continental Hotel. Only the manager can disqualify her, so she is still alive for the time being.
The reason why she appears here now, if nothing unexpected happens, is that she was sent by Vigo to deal with Marcus. If the plot continues to develop normally, Marcus will soon receive a box lunch."
After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, the doubts in Long Zhan's mind were suddenly cleared away, and at the same time, there was one more multiple-choice question that must be chosen.
Should he meddle in other matters and save Marcus' life, or should he just ignore the matter and ignore it?
For a person who has nothing to do with him, Long Zhan has no obligation to save him, and there is no need to take additional risks in order to save Marcus.
However, Marcus has been Wick's friend for many years, which saved Marcus from increasing Wick's "favorability".
This is one of the benefits!
And Marcus himself is also a top killer. Although his close-quarter combat ability is a bit eye-catching, his long-range sniping ability is definitely world-class.
If you can make Marcus owe a favor, it will definitely be of great use in the future.
Coupled with the purpose of driving here, Marcus may have channels to help him launder the dirty money, which will be helpful to him.
Finally, and most importantly.
Almost all the elites under his command have died, and Vigo, who is about to become a bald commander, is now at the end of his rope and his combat power has plummeted.
Even if a female killer Perkins is added, the threat to Long Zhan is not that great.
This is equivalent to saying that even if Long Zhan goes to save Marcus, the risk factor is actually not high.
Considering these factors, although saving Marcus' life involves certain risks, it is actually a good deal for Long Zhan.
You can earn a lot of things!
After carefully weighing all factors, Long Zhan was basically confident.
"If Marcus can help me launder money, then I will find a way to save his life. Plus the additional benefits, it is definitely worth my while. If he can't do it, then there is no need for me to waste my time on him."
Long Zhan felt that this arrangement was the most reasonable. In order not to disturb Perkins, he quietly retreated back the way he came.
After sitting on the chair and thinking for a few minutes, I conceived in my mind a detailed and perfect plan that best suited my own interests.
It just so happened that it was almost "time to go to the bathroom", so Long Zhan got up and went back to meet up with Wick.
"Marcus and I have already discussed your matter. He happens to know an acquaintance who can help you properly dispose of the money. As for the specific operation, you can discuss it in further detail." Wick said.
Ever since he and Long Zhan fought hand in hand for many rounds, all the way from Virginia Beach to New York City, New York, they have developed a common fighting spirit, and Wick's attitude towards Long Zhan has improved significantly.
If they were just ordinary friends before, the word "ordinary" has definitely been removed now. Long Zhan is now Wick's true friend.
It is precisely with the recognition of this kind of friend that Wick is so concerned about the Dragon War.
"Man, your ability is beyond my imagination. I'm very happy to be able to help you. Even if it's not for Wick's sake, I will help you get it done. Leave me a phone number at the latest.
I’ll give you an answer tomorrow morning.”
Marcus had witnessed the Dragon War battle with his own eyes, and he was really shocked at the time. When he said that he wanted to make Dragon War friends, he came from the bottom of his heart and was not just talking politely.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Okay, thank you. I am also very happy to be friends with you. This is my phone number."
Long Zhan didn't have the habit of carrying business cards with him, so he had to use the notepaper and pen he brought with him to write his phone number on it, tear it off and hand it over.
"Wait for my news."
Marcus took the note and put it in his pocket, turned to Wick meaningfully and said: "You have a new life, and I believe you will have a way to get back on the track of life. Let's go, you should hurry up and go home.
"
Marcus knew that Vigo's son had died, and he would definitely not let it go.
He also knew that Wick was too principled, which was his strength and weakness. It was destined that if Vigo didn't take action, Wick would never trouble Vigo.
Under this premise.
If Wick does not leave New York as soon as possible, he is likely to suffer revenge from Vigo. Although Wick is very capable, there is no guarantee that something unexpected will happen.
In order to avoid such an accident, the best way is for Wick to leave New York as soon as possible.
Marcus kept his mouth shut and did what a friend should do. After speaking, he patted Wick on the shoulder, turned around, and strode away.
Long Zhan knew clearly that Marcus had been targeted, and that he was destined to be in big trouble if he left this time. Without outside intervention, his life could not be saved.
But Long Zhan didn't give any reminder and chose to just let Marcus leave.
"Go home? Go home!"
Marcus's words echoed in his ears, but Wick's mood was mixed. He didn't feel happy about going home, because he no longer had a home in his heart.
"You have to have a goal in life, or you have to have some fun. If you feel too tired to be a killer, you are welcome to come and work as PMC with me."
Long Zhan noticed that Wick was in a bad mood and extended an olive branch in a joking tone.
"I just want to have a good rest now."
Wick rejected Long Zhan's invitation from the side, adjusted his mood and said with a smile: "I'm going back first. Come back early after you finish your work, and I'll treat you to a drink."
