Chapter 70 The Value of Gold Coins
"That's quite a lot, Master."
Vlad shook his head and explained softly: "The gold coins issued by the High Table are not linked to secular currencies. They are a value entity that embodies rules and contributions, representing various benefits that you can enjoy within the organization. Services, these services are not linked to secular value, the value is only determined by difficulty, and the starting price is at least one gold coin..."
Lin Zhongtian said thoughtfully: "In other words, whether I buy a gun or order a glass of wine, it is worth at least one gold coin?"
Vlad nodded: "That's right."
Lin Zhongtian nodded suddenly: "That's it."
No wonder he felt a little awkward when watching the movie.
In the second movie, John Wick only spent one gold coin to buy guns and ammunition from the bartender, and he also spent only one gold coin to find a custom-made bulletproof suit from an underground handmade clothing store.
But then I ordered a glass of wine with the black bodyguard at the Continental Hotel, and it actually cost me a gold coin.
The worldly value of these three services is very different, but they equally represent a service within the organization.
Since it is a service, the starting price is at least one gold coin.
Based on this view, the news that one gold coin is worth one hundred thousand US dollars posted on the Internet is purely a rumor.
Lin Zhongtian rubbed the gold coins in his hand and asked casually: "Then what can these gold coins be used for?"
Vlad replied: "Check into the Continental Hotel, purchase weapons and equipment, customize bulletproof suits, enjoy medical services, issue various types of bounty missions such as assassinations, find people and barter, and..."
Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows and said, "And the cleaning and disposal of the corpse, right?"
Vlad nodded silently and said nothing.
Lin Zhongtian handed out ten gold coins and handed them to Vlad: "These gold coins are for you. You go to the Continental Hotel to help me find someone."
Vlad shook his head and returned the gold coin to Lin Zhongtian: "Master, not everyone can use gold coins. People without membership will not be able to enjoy the organization's services even if they get gold coins."
Lin Zhongtian was surprised and said: "You are not qualified?"
Vlad shook his head and said, "No."
Lin Zhongtian asked again: "Then do I have it?"
Vlad nodded: "Both the master and the lady have membership qualifications. Now that they are dead, as long as you show up at the Continental Hotel, the hotel administrator will hand over their qualifications to you."
"I see."
Lin Zhongtian nodded and put away the ten gold coins.
Afterwards, he put the gold coins back into the safe, took out the sealed bag containing the information, closed the cabinet door, and turned around and said: "Okay, I have no problem, Vlad, you can go out first and leave me alone." Stay in the study for a while."
"……yes."
Vlad bowed and was about to leave, when Lin Zhongtian stopped him again.
"Wait a minute, I almost forgot, the surveillance video at the entrance of the manor!"
"Understood, Master, I will destroy them right away."
Vlad nodded, then walked away respectfully.
When Vlad's footsteps faded away, Lin Zhongtian opened the window of the study room.
A golden figure descended from the sky and entered the study. It was the golden-armored general who had been staying above the manor.
Lin Zhongtian controlled the Golden Armored God General to pace back and forth, and finally made him stop behind the desk and nodded with satisfaction.
"Just stay here, it will look more comfortable."
After doing this, Lin Zhongtian took out the sealed paper information from the sealed bag and read it with interest.
…
…
The next morning, Vlad came to the door of the study with a prepared breakfast and knocked on the door.
"Please come in."
Lin Zhongtian's voice came from the study.
Vlad straightened his collar and pushed open the door.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw a shining golden human sculpture next to Lin Zhongtian. Judging from its majestic appearance, it seemed to be the heavenly soldiers and generals in Chinese mythology.
Vlad had never been a talkative person. Even though he was full of doubts, he had no intention of asking. He just silently placed the silver tray with breakfast in front of Lin Zhongtian.
Lin Zhongtian was very satisfied with Vlad's performance, so he threw a jade medal to him.
Vlad quickly caught it, raised his head, and looked at Lin Zhongtian doubtfully.
Lin Zhongtian didn't explain, just said: "Wear it close to your body, don't take it off."
Vlad hesitated for a moment, then put the jade on his body.
After breakfast, Lin Zhongtian took the gold coins, left the study with Vlad, and came to the manor's underground garage. There were many expensive luxury cars parked in the garage.
At Vlad's suggestion, Lin Zhongtian chose a black bulletproof Audi.
This car is equipped with eight centimeter-thick multi-layer hybrid bulletproof glass, which can withstand continuous rifle fire. The body uses a new type of polycarbonate material, which is 60% lighter than steel plates but is ten times stronger.
Vlad suggested that Lin Zhongtian choose this car. He was obviously frightened by last night's news and worried that the young master would make the same mistake as his parents.
Lin Zhongtian followed his example and got into the car. Vlad acted as the driver and took him to the door of the Continental Hotel in Los Angeles.
After the car stopped, Vlad opened the door and got out of the car, and respectfully opened the back seat door.
Lin Zhongtian got out of the car calmly and took Vlad into the Continental Hotel in Los Angeles.
When he came to the front desk, a black-haired man in a suit raised his head behind the front desk, looked at him, and spoke politely.
"Can I help you with anything?"
"I want to get news about someone."
After hearing Lin Zhongtian's request, the black-haired man in a suit looked at him again, picked up the black wired phone placed on the front desk, dialed a short number, and then asked politely: "What is your name?"
Lin Zhongtian said: "Jade Zuo."
The man in the suit nodded and reported the name to the other end of the phone.
After a while, the man in a suit hung up the phone and said respectfully: "Welcome to the Continental Hotel, Mr. Zuo. On behalf of the hotel manager, I would like to express my deep condolences for what happened to your parents last night..."
Lin Zhongtian nodded calmly and said: "I accept your condolences, can you start serving now?"
"Of course, Mr. Zuo."
The man in the suit nodded, then stretched out a hand.
Lin Zhongtian took out a gold coin and placed it in his palm.
The man in the suit put away the gold coins, pointed to the elevator behind him and said: "Please go to the bar on the third underground floor and find a man named Waylon Lynch. He wears a pair of light yellow glasses, has no beard, and has a mark on his chin. It’s easy to identify because of the cigarette scars.”
"Thank you."
Lin Zhongtian nodded and walked towards the elevator.
Vlad had no membership and could only wait in the lobby.
A minute later, Lin Zhongtian appeared in the bar on the third underground floor.
Under the strict regulations of the Continental Hotel, the Killer Bar is no different from the bars in the outside world. Here, every killer temporarily forgets his identity and enjoys a safe life without fear.
As the loud music played, men and women swayed and sweated on the dance floor of the bar.
At this moment, a hot blonde girl saw Lin Zhongtian who had just entered the bar. Her eyes immediately lit up, and she stepped forward with a smile and wanted to invite him to dance.
Lin Zhongtian politely refused, and then asked her if she knew Waylon Lynch.
The blonde looked regretful and moved her eyes to the corner of the bar behind Lin Zhongtian.
Lin Zhongtian thanked him, turned around and walked to the corner of the bar, sitting in front of the man with light yellow glasses.
"Are you Waylon Lynch?"
"It's me, you want to ask me for information?"
"...That's right."
"Don't be surprised, everyone who comes to me is asking me for information."
With a smile on his face, Willen looked at the handsome young man in front of him with interest.
"Tell me, what do you want to know?"
"The whereabouts of Nikolaos Dunlap."
"Oh, it's him!"
Willen nodded, took out his mobile phone, and while sending a message, he said casually: "Young man, according to the rules, I shouldn't say these things to you without paying extra, but who told you to look like Where is my dead nephew?”
"For the sake of poor Riley, I would like to remind you that that guy is a ruthless person who is not easy to mess with. There is a huge mafia family standing behind him, and he cannot be easily messed with -"
Before he finished speaking, Willen raised his eyebrows and changed the topic: "No, I found it. Mr. Dunlap booked a ticket for twelve o'clock last night, and he has probably landed in New York by now."
With that said, Willen turned his phone over and gave Lin Zhongtian a look.
Lin Zhongtian frowned: "New York, why is he going to New York?"
Willen put away his phone and shrugged: "Who knows, maybe he wants to get the 14 million bounty!"
