Build the Traveler Alliance from Scratch

Chapter 72 The Adjudicator

"Mr. Wick broke the rules."

The woman in black finally spoke, and her attitude was extremely tough the first time she spoke.

Winston thought that the other party was questioning himself because of John Wick's escape.

So he shrugged and explained again: "Yes, I know, but I don't know anything about his whereabouts now..."

"You misunderstood!" The woman in black interrupted Winston's words unceremoniously, looked into his eyes and said lightly, "I am not here to find Mr. Wick, but because Mr. Wick is here. The rules were broken in the hotel."

Winston was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and an ominous premonition rose in his heart.

The woman in black continued to ask: "The body of the deceased is still here?"

Winston frowned and nodded: "Yes."

The woman in black said, "Take me to have a look."

Five minutes later, Winston brought the woman in black to the crematorium under the hotel.

Unlike the scavengers in Los Angeles, the scavengers in New York have become part of the Continental Hotel, and the business of disposing of dead bodies has also become one of the services operated by the Continental Hotel.

It's all thanks to Winston's handling of New York over the years.

He has been a hotel manager for more than 40 years, and he has such a deep control over the city that he can be called a vassal.

The so-called sky is high and the emperor is far away. After the local princes have been in power for a long time, they will naturally lose a certain degree of awe of the central government, and then they will do some things that make the superiors very dissatisfied but they don't care about it.

That's what the female adjudicator from the High Table is here for.

Looking at the cold male corpse in front of the crematorium, the woman in black said calmly: "Santino Antonio, the new member of the High Table, was killed by Mr. Wick when he was seeking asylum at the Continental Hotel ,Am i right?"

Winston tried to explain: "I have no control over Mr. Wick's actions."

The woman in black turned her head and looked at him: "You and Mr. Wick have known each other for many years, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are friends. He shot and killed Santino Antonio in front of you, and you chose to stand by and do nothing. Not stop him or kill him."

Winston frowned: "I expelled him."

"But you also gave him an hour to escape."

"He broke the rules in my hotel and I have the right to decide how to punish him."

"That's the problem."

The woman in black ended the conversation calmly.

After all, Winston was a smart person. Although he was a little swollen due to years of power, he still understood what she meant immediately, and immediately frowned, trying to explain to her.

"I have served the High Table for over 40 years..."

"Of course I know your loyalty." The woman in black interrupted him lightly, "But let me make it clear first, I am not here to judge Mr. Wick, but to judge you."

"..."

Winston frowned.

The woman in black continued: "You have a week to deal with the affairs. At that time, your successor will be appointed. If you need to assist in the transfer of power during this period, you can come to Room 217 to find me."

Winston frowned, and was about to speak when he suddenly felt a vibration above his head.

The woman in black exchanged glances with him, and they both started walking quickly towards the elevator they came from.

After entering the elevator, Winston took out his mobile phone and called the front desk.

"Charon, what happened upstairs?"

"This……"

In the lobby of the hotel, Charon, the black receptionist, was holding a phone, hiding behind the reception desk, poking his head out, looking at the golden armored general who was slowly walking out of the smoke and dust, and said in a difficult tone: "Sir, it's hard for me to describe... "

……

……

Three minutes before the time came, Lin Zhongtian controlled the Golden Armored General to fly at subsonic speed for more than two hours, and finally covered a distance of nearly 3 kilometers from Los Angeles on the west coast to New York on the east coast.

After arriving in New York, Lin Zhongtian asked Waylon to confirm Dunlap's location.

By the way, I got a recent photo of Dunlap from Waylon, and remembered his appearance.

Afterwards, Lin Zhongtian made a brazen move, manipulating the golden armored general to descend from the sky, and forcibly broke into the Continental Hotel.

"Boom!"

There was only a loud noise, and the walls of the hall shattered as if hit by a shell.

The killers staying in the hall quickly became alert, each took out their weapons, found a cover and lay down.

Charon at the front desk also quickly squatted down, took out the pistol hidden under the table, and carefully poked his head out.

The hall was filled with smoke and dust, and a tall golden figure slowly walked out of the smoke and dust. Looking at the outline revealed in the smoke and dust, it looked like an ancient armor.

Charon's eyes widened, and before he could react to what was happening in front of him, he heard the ringing of the phone above his head.

After hesitating for a second, Charon quietly stretched out his hand and connected the phone at the risk of being discovered.

Hearing Charon's voice on the other end of the phone, Winston froze for a moment, then frowned.

"It's hard to explain, what do you mean?"

"Literally." Charon retracted his head, held the receiver and lowered his voice, "Listen, sir, before you can determine whether the other party is hostile, I suggest that you don't come to the lobby, and go to the safe room to hide For a while."

Winston was a little puzzled, and just about to continue asking, Charon hung up the phone.

Listening to the busy tone on the other end of the phone, Winston frowned tightly, and turned to look at the woman in black.

The woman in black kept silent, reached out and pressed the button to go to the lobby on the first floor.

Obviously, she wanted to see what happened in the lobby with her own eyes, to see who had the guts to disregard the rules of the high table and act forcefully at the Continental Hotel.

Winston was a little helpless, but he didn't object when he thought that Charon was still in the hall.

At the same time, in the hall on the first floor, the golden-armored god would walk out of the smoke, paused for a moment, seemed to be identifying his position, and then walked towards the back of the front desk.

The killers in the hall looked at each other, their muzzles moved with the Golden Armored God General. Although they all drew their guns, but due to the rule of the Continental Hotel that no one could shoot, no one dared to shoot.

They were all waiting for the first bird to shoot first.

Finally, the early bird appeared.

Charon hung up the phone, flashed out from behind the front desk, raised his pistol and aimed at the golden armored general, speaking in a stern tone.

"Sir, please stay still, before confirming your membership status, please allow me to not allow you to pass without authorization!"

"..."

Lin Zhongtian was a little speechless, he was still fussing over these minutiae at what time.

Didn't you see Lao Tzu directly breaking through the wall?

They broke through the wall, do you still care about your warning?

Lin Zhongtian shook his head, ignored Charon, and continued to move forward.

Faced with such a situation, Charon decisively pulled the trigger.

"boom--"

The bullet cut through the air and hit the golden armored general's chest.

From a slow-motion perspective, the brass warhead quickly deflated, turned into a round cake and stuck to the shell of the golden armor, and then fell off backwards under the reaction force and fell to the ground.

"Ding dong~"

The crisp sound echoed in the hall.

Charon's pupils shrank slightly, and his eyes followed the bullets jumping on the ground.

When he raised his head, the golden armored general had already appeared in front of him.

A golden shadow flashed by, Charon's neck hurt, his eyes rolled, and he passed out.

Lin Zhongtian stunned Charon, walked over his body, and walked to the elevator door, inserted his arms through the gap, and easily tore open the elevator door as if tearing open a packing box, and then jumped and disappeared into the elevator shaft.

At the same time, Winston and the woman in black came out of another elevator.

Seeing the killers in the hall holding their guns and looking at each other, the woman in black couldn't help frowning.

Winston walked quickly to the front desk, looked at the unconscious Charon on the ground, and then at the twisted metal elevator door in front of him, and couldn't help muttering: "What happened here?"
