Chapter 72 The Arbitrator

Chapter 72 The Arbitrator

"Mr. Wick broke the rules."

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

Winston thought the other party was questioning him about 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 calmly, "I came here not to find Mr. Wick, but because Mr. Wick is here Rules were broken in the hotel.”

Winston was slightly startled when he heard this, and an ominous premonition arose 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 see it."

Five minutes later, Winston took the woman in black to the crematorium underground of the hotel.

Unlike the sweepers in Los Angeles, the sweepers in New York have become part of the Continental Hotel, and the business of disposing of corpses has become one of the services operated by the Continental Hotel.

This is all thanks to Winston's years of running New York.

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

It is said that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. If local princes have been in power for a long time, they will naturally lose a certain degree of respect for the central government, and then they will do some things that make their superiors very dissatisfied but they themselves do not care about it.

The female judge sent by the High Table is here for this purpose.

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 sought 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 been acquaintances for many years. It's not an exaggeration to say they are friends. He shot Santino Antonio in front of you, and you chose to stand by and watch. Instead of stopping him or killing him."

Winston frowned: "I kicked him out."

"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 man. Although he was a little swollen due to having held power for many years, he immediately understood what she meant. He immediately frowned and tried to explain to her.

"I have been loyal to the High Table for more than forty years..."

"Of course I know your loyalty." The woman in black interrupted him calmly, "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 one week to deal with the affairs. At that time, your successor will be appointed. If you need assistance in transferring power during this period, you can come to me in room 217."

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

The woman in black looked at him and walked quickly towards the elevator from where they came.

After entering the elevator, Winston took out his mobile phone and dialed the number at the front desk.

"Charon, what happened upstairs?"

"this……"

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

…

…

When the time came to three minutes ago, Lin Zhongtian controlled the Golden Armor God to fly at subsonic speed for more than two hours, and finally crossed a distance of nearly 2,500 kilometers, flying from Los Angeles on the west coast to New York on the east coast.

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

By the way, I got a recent photo of Dunlap from Willen and remembered what he looked like.

Later, Lin Zhongtian took action boldly, controlling the Golden Armored God to descend from the sky and forcefully break into the Continental Hotel.

"Boom!"

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

The killers staying in the hall quickly became alert, each took out their weapons, found a bunker 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. Looking at the outline revealed in the smoke, it looked like ancient armor.

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

After hesitating for a second, Charon quietly reached out and answered the phone at the risk of being discovered.

Hearing Charon's voice on the other end of the phone, Winston was stunned 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 you not come to the lobby and hide in the safe house first. For a while.”

Winston was a little puzzled, and just as he was 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 remained silent, reaching out and pressing the button to go to the lobby on the first floor.

Obviously, she wanted to see with her own eyes what happened in the lobby and see who had the courage to ignore the rules of the high table and take action in the Continental Hotel.

Winston was a little helpless, but thinking that Charon was still in the hall, he had no objection.

At the same time, in the lobby on the first floor, the golden-armored god will walk out of the smoke, pause for a moment, as if to identify the direction, and then take steps towards the back of the front desk.

The killers in the hall looked at each other, their guns moving with the golden armored general. Although they all pulled out their guns, no one dared to actually shoot due to the no-hands rule of the Continental Hotel.

They were all waiting for the one who would take the lead.

Finally, this outstanding bird appeared.

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

"Sir, please stay. Before confirming your membership status, please allow me to not allow you to pass without permission!"

"..."

Lin Zhongtian was a little speechless. How long had it been? He was still worrying about these details.

Didn’t you see me breaking through the wall and entering?

They have broken through the wall, do they still care about your warning?

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

Faced with this 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 golden armor shell, 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, and his eyes followed the bullets jumping on the ground.

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

I saw a golden shadow flashing past, Charon felt pain in his neck, rolled his eyes, and passed out.

Lin Zhongtian knocked Charon unconscious, crossed his body, walked to the elevator door, thrust his arms through the gap, tore open the elevator door as easily as tearing open a packaging box, and jumped 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 looking at each other with guns raised, the woman in black couldn't help but frown.

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