Chapter 55: Clown

New York.

Private museum.

"Gianna is dead! That's great!"

Hearing the news from his subordinates on the other end of the phone, Santino was very happy.

Gianna is dead, and his chance has finally come.

After so many years, he finally waited for the day to come out.

Santino swore that he would work hard to revitalize the family and let his ignorant father see that he is definitely better than his sister. The family will become more glorious in his hands.

At this moment, he was eager to return to Italy immediately and hold a grand coronation ceremony.

However, before he left, there were still some things that needed to be solved first.

John Wick is not dead.

This is within his expectations.

If that guy is really so easy to kill, he would not hire him to kill people.

But no matter how tough that guy is, he must die in the end.

If John doesn't die, the family may know his conspiracy.

This is very unfavorable to his future rule.

There is another important reason.

As the saying goes, the first person to make a calamity will have no descendants.

What if someone follows suit and hires John to kill him?

Then he will really suffer the consequences.

Thinking of this, Santino called the Continental Hotel and issued a high reward of 5 million for John Wick's head.

This is an open reward, and there is no designated killer.

In other words, all the killers of the Continental Hotel can take the order.

As long as the task is completed, anyone can get the 5 million bounty.

"And Tommy Vercetti, that guy is also a threat."

Santino muttered to himself, his eyes were particularly vicious.

Although the two had different positions, he had to admit that Tommy's personal ability was really excellent.

When in Italy, Tommy was Gianna's right-hand man and helped solve many problems.

Later, he was arrested and imprisoned, but he was able to make a name for himself and set up a prison restaurant, which was quite popular with the outside world.

It was clearly a ten-year sentence, but he was released in three years.

He was so scared that he quickly thought of a way to drive the guy back to New York.

He thought that Tommy, who was weak and alone, could not do anything big in New York.

But he never expected that it only took one month for Tommy to eliminate the Russian gang and turn the Red Circle Club into his own territory.

Not only that, the guy also opened a hamburger shop and a lot of factories, obviously going to do a big thing.

Such a result shocked Santino.

It should be said that capable people can shine wherever they go.

It only took more than a month for Tommy to do so many things.

If he was given a few more years, what would happen?

Thinking of this, Santino hated it in his heart.

How come his sister has a share of all the good things in this world?

Such a powerful helper, why can't he be his subordinate?

However, since they are already hostile, they must carry it through to the end.

Pouring himself a glass of red wine, Santino shook the glass and seemed to see a lot through the clear wine.

He thought of a plan.

Isn't Tommy very capable? Then let him play well.

First, let Tommy deal with the "Beggars' Gang" led by Boris and seize the other party's information network; then, let him conquer the textile factory to increase his strength.

He was not afraid that Tommy would see through his thoughts, because he used a thorough conspiracy.

If Tommy dared to refuse his order, it would be equivalent to betraying the family.

In that case, he could send assassins to assassinate Tommy openly.

If Tommy did not refuse, it would be even better, just wait for him to be squeezed dry and used to death.

No matter what choice that guy made, the final outcome would be the same.

In the room, a burst of rampant laughter soon rang out.

...

New York.

Private apartment.

This is Franklin's home.

Using the dividends from the last mission, Franklin rented a house outside.

To be honest, if possible, he certainly didn't want to leave his home.

But the problem is that his aunt is too annoying. She often brings a group of female friends to sit in his house and do some weird fitness exercises.

It was okay once or twice, but it was really too much for him to come here every day.

Therefore, he would rather spend a little more money and move out to live on his own.

At least, he was much more relaxed here, doing whatever he wanted without having to listen to his aunt's nagging.

"Shit!"

On the TV, the game character died again.

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

Franklin cursed, threw the handle aside in anger, picked up the bag of potato chips on the table, grabbed a handful from it, and chewed it hard.

At this moment, the doorbell outside suddenly rang.

"Is it Rama?"

He only told Rama about the move.

Even his aunt didn't know about his new home.

So, he subconsciously thought that Rama came to play with him.

But when he opened the door, he found that the person standing outside was not Rama as he thought, but a bearded and pale man in a suit.

This man in a suit was none other than John Wick who had returned from Italy.

On the way back, he encountered three waves of assassinations.

Although he finally killed all the assassins, he was still injured and needed to find a quiet place for treatment.

Moreover, because he had to go through security checks on the plane, he did not carry any weapons and ammunition, and he also needed to find a place to resupply.

He could not go back to his original home.

It was the enemy's key surveillance target. If he dared to go back, he would be discovered by the stalkers and a large number of assassins would come to assassinate him.

It was for this reason that John came here as planned, hoping to rest here and have a temporary respite.

"Yes, that's true."

After listening to his reason, Franklin nodded.

He remembered that the boss had told him so.

Moreover, this guy had the boss's business card on him, which could prove that what he said was true.

"Wait a minute."

Franklin was still a little worried.

He took out his mobile phone and called Tommy.

After describing John's image and confirming that it was accurate, he opened the door completely and invited John to come in.

"The boss said, if you need anything, tell me first, I will get it for you."

John nodded.

He needed a lot of things. First, he needed a doctor to treat his gunshot wound. Secondly, he needed a set of clean clothes. He also needed a lot of food and water to replenish his body.

Of course, the most important thing was that he needed a pistol.

Only in this way could he kill Santino, fulfill his agreement with Tommy, and end the bounty on him.

"Okay, no problem."

Franklin quickly agreed.

Since he was the boss's friend, he was his friend.

If he was asked to kill and set fire, he might not do it.

But he could definitely help with finding a doctor and giving food.

In the apartment here, John Wick was healing silently.

On the other side, Tommy, who got the news, would soon arrive in New York.

On the plane.

"Who called just now?"

Jaina raised her head and brushed the hair that was in the way behind her head.
