Chapter 1530 Continental Hotel(2/2)
If it were on the battlefield, he could easily kill a little mouse like this.
Hearing the strong man's words, John Wick refused without raising his head: "I have retired."
"Hey, can a killer still retire? Do you receive a pension and retirement salary?"
Hearing John Wick's outrageous reason for rejection, the strong man laughed directly.
He was originally dissatisfied with the fact that the boss had to spend money to hire a killer to do things. Previously, he had to lower his head to hire the killer just because of the boss's arrangement.
Now that John Wick refuses, he naturally doesn't need to give face to the other party.
"Sir, the assassin organization you mentioned that allows you to receive retirement wages and pensions after retirement is called the Brotherhood. We are currently discussing the acquisition with their leader. When the acquisition is successful, we can consider promoting these benefits."
At this moment, a man in a black suit walked up to the strong man.
He was the steward of the Continental Hotel in New York. At this time, he saw someone who seemed to be preparing to cause trouble in the hotel, so he came over to take a look at the situation.
"I understand your rules. You can't do anything here. I'm not here to do anything."
The strong man didn't pay attention to the warning implicit in the steward's words.
On the contrary, what the other party said made him curious: "There really is a killer organization that pays pensions to killers. Are there any killers who live long enough to receive pensions?"
Butler: "So far, there is indeed no one, but as far as I know, the Brotherhood has an ace who will retire soon. He will be the first killer in the Brotherhood to receive a pension."
As long as the strong man doesn't cause trouble, the housekeeper doesn't mind chatting with him.
The world is so big, no matter how advanced the civilization is, organizations in the shadows like this will never be eliminated.
Moreover, these organizations themselves are also competing with each other, but the killer organizations will also keep pace with the times. The competition between the two parties is not as fierce as before, but has become much more peaceful, such as the Continental Hotel Acquisition Brotherhood.

When the strong man saw the butler appearing, he didn't delay any further. He directly laid out a round badge and placed it in front of John Wick's desk.
Seeing the appearance of this badge, John Wick and the butler standing next to him changed their expressions almost at the same time.
"This blood contract probably doesn't need my introduction."
The strong man came to the Continental Hotel this time to find John Wick, so he was naturally well prepared.
The Continental Hotel has two rules that are very famous in the killer world. One is that no violence is allowed inside the hotel, and anyone who violates it will be shot from four corners.
The second is that each Blood Pact badge must be given honor.
The strong man said before that John Wick was the top blood contract killer at the Continental Hotel. What he meant was that John Wick's reward for each attack was no longer simple money, but a blood contract badge.
Blood pact badges must be given honors. In layman's terms, as long as the owner of the badge makes a request, the other party cannot refuse and must fulfill it.
Organizations like the Continental Hotel are not short of money at all, so for some high-end assassination missions, the person who places the order needs to submit not only money, but also their own favors and commitments as remuneration.
As for this kind of commitment, what if the person who placed the order does not acknowledge it after completing the task?
Continental Hotel may also have this rule in order to make the people who place orders honest and cooperative.
Just like the people who took action at the Continental Hotel are all dead, all the people who gave the Blood Pact Badge but failed to satisfy or were unwilling to fulfill the demands made to the target are also dead.
Over time, these two things have become like weird rumors about the rules of the Continental Hotel, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
Now the strong man took out a blood pact badge. The reason why the originally calm John Wick's expression suddenly changed was because he personally gave the badge to him.
The reason why John Wick didn't take orders from the strong man as a killer at first was not just because he was aloof.
But he has really retired.
It may sound unbelievable that a killer can retire, but in fact it is indeed very strange.
At least it can be said that it was very difficult for John Wick to retire.
He is not the kind of person who has nothing and has no choice but to enter the profession of killer.
On the contrary, John Wick is organized. He was trained from a young age and then entered the killer profession.
It is precisely because he has been targeting killers since he was a child. After doing so for so many years, gaining honor and status, and being nourished by love, John Wick was tired of this kind of life, so he made up his mind to retire.
But it is naturally not that easy for a killer to retire.
The first is that his organization cannot easily give up his trump card.
In the end, John Wick obtained the other party's permission on the condition that he help the organization complete several seemingly impossible tasks.
Then there is the Continental Hotel, where it is impossible to let go of a killer like John Wick easily.
For this reason, John Wick almost consumed a lot of the blood contract badges he had accumulated before, and finally got a big shot's promise, allowing him to retire successfully.
In fact, the housekeeper said before that someone from the Brotherhood of Killers is about to retire, and the Continental Hotel actually has the only John Wick who has successfully retired.
But for John Wick to retire successfully, in addition to the blood contract he accumulated when completing previous missions, he also paid a lot of other conditions.
In the end, he even gave his blood contract badge to a certain big shot and promised to help him accomplish something unconditionally in the future.
Each of the blood contract badges at the Continental Hotel is unique, so John Wick recognized the blood contract badge as soon as the strong man took it out. This badge was the one he gave out originally.
"I said, I want you to kill someone for me."
As the strong man spoke, he opened the blood contract badge, revealing the blood seal left by John Wick sealed inside.
John Wick looked at the blood contract in front of him and fell silent.
The butler on the side also remained silent, showing no intention of helping John Wick.
"Sorry, I have retired."
