The other side.
At this time, John Wick killed his way from the street to the stable, killed all the invading killers inside, and then rode a horse and rushed out.
As soon as he rushed onto the road, two killers on motorcycles chased after John Wick.
John Wick was riding his horse at full speed under the overpass at this time. A motorcyclist behind him caught up with him and stretched out his hand, trying to pull John Wick off the horse, but failed several times.
John seized the opportunity and slapped the other man's helmet, causing the motorcyclist to lean forward, revealing the pistol on his lower back.
John Wick bent down on his horse, pulled out a pistol from the opponent's waist, and shot him three times in the neck.
"Bang. Bang. Bang!"
The motorcyclist died on the spot. The motorcycle was out of control and crashed directly into the truck next to it.
Seeing a killer on a motorcycle behind him, John Wick took advantage of the other party's pursuit and slid to the side of the horse, hiding his entire body beside the horse. Then he stretched out a hand and fired several shots at the other party's motorcycle.
In an instant, the motorcyclist lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the car parked in front of him.
After taking care of the two motorcycle killers, John Wick looked back and made sure that no one was following him for the time being. He thought that he was a little exhausted from all the killing and he was not sure he could make it to the League of Assassins alive.
It would be too ostentatious to ride such a long distance in New York on horseback. On the contrary, the theater in Belarus was not far away from him, so it seemed that he could only use the pass and ask the other party to take him there.
Without any hesitation, he galloped straight towards the Belarusian gang's theater.
The phone that Winston threw on the table in the Continental Hotel rang with a text message again. He picked it up and saw that the bounty on John Wick had increased to 21 million US dollars.
"That's a lot of money!"
"Where are you going, Jonathan?"
······
John Wick ran all the way to the ticket counter at the theater entrance and slapped the glass.
"We're closed."
The conductor said without even looking up.
John Wick pulled the pass out of his pocket and smashed the glass again.
This time the conductor looked up and saw that it was a pass. The door opened and let him in.
There were two groups of people standing across the street. Smith Doyle glanced at where John Wick entered and said,
"Okay, today's observation is over. Let's go back."
Fox didn't know much about this place, so he asked,
"Why don't you go in and take a closer look?"
Smith shook his head:
"That's not necessary."
Then the two men turned and left, while the killer on the other side took note of this place and waited at the door.
...
John Wick entered the theater hall, where many Belarusian gang members gathered.
One of them greeted John Wick after seeing him:
"haven't seen you for a long time."
Looking at the table in front of him, John Wick first put the pass on the table, followed by the gold coins and blood covenant badge in his pocket.
The man who had just spoken on the side said:
"Put the belt on, too."
John Wick obediently took off his belt and placed it on the table. The man then instructed the person beside him:
"Take him."
And said to John Wick: "See you later"
John Wick picked up the pass on the table and said:
"See you later."
John Wick entered, opened the door and walked into the theater.
At this moment, the leader of the Belarusian gang was a woman who was watching a woman dancing. John Wick walked up to her, knelt on one knee, and showed the pass he brought in his hand.
The Director glanced at John Wick and asked,
"Jonathan, why did you go home?"
John Wick didn't say anything, but raised the pass in his hand.
The Director saw this and asked,
"Show me this as if it is the answer."
John Wick said in a hoarse voice,
"I still have a pass."
The Director looked at the man in front of him and said,
"You've caused so much chaos in the past few weeks. Do you think your pass is still valid?"
"Have you forgotten that Russian gypsies are bound by the high table, and that the high table is above all else?"
"They'd probably kill me for talking to you."
"You bring death to my door, and that's how you honor me?"
"Oh, Jonathan, what's wrong with you?"
John Wick took a deep breath and said:
"I am Jonathan John Wick, I am a child of Belarus, an orphan of your tribe..."
"You have an obligation to help me."
John Wick held up his pass and emphasized:
"You have obligations, I have rights."
The Director took a deep look at John Wick and shouted to the girl dancing Swan Lake on the stage:
"Rooney, that's enough!"
Then he stood up and said to John Wick:
"Come with me."
The Director led John Wick backstage and said,
"You have no rights, Jonathan."
"You know, when my students first come here, they only want one thing, and that's to live without pain."
"I tried to dissuade them from such childish ideas, but you know, art is painful."
"Life is suffering."
John Wick looked at the dancers backstage and did not say anything but followed The Director silently.
"You somehow escaped from the hardships of life, but today you are back again, right where you started."
"What is all this for?"
The Director took John Wick to the men's wrestling area and stopped. Looking at the people who were still wrestling, he asked,
"Do you recall any good memories?"
The Director didn't wait for John Wick to answer and continued walking forward. After taking him through a training room again, he entered the room and sat in front of the work desk.
The two sat opposite each other, and The Director looked at John Wick and said:
"I can't help you even if I wanted to, Jonathan."
"The High Table wants you dead."
"How can you fight the wind?"
"How can you break the mountains in pieces?"
"How can you bury the sea?"
"How can you escape the light?"
"Of course you can go to the darkness, but they are in the darkness too."
"So tell me what it is you really want, Jonathan."
John Wick said seriously,
"The passage."
The Director asked,
"Where do you want to go?"
John Wick told The Director the address:
"A textile factory in the suburbs."
The Director smiled and thought the other party was joking:
"Suburbs of New York..."
"Wait, a textile factory."
"You actually contacted them."
"You are really lucky."
John Wick stretched out his arm and held his pass in front of The Director.
The Director took a look and said,
"That's it."
"You give me the pass and I'll tear it up."
"If that's what you really want."
John Wick nodded, took the pass from his hand, and handed it to The Director.
