Smith Doyle looked at the box on the desk in front of him, which contained three dragon balls.
Originally, John Wick was going to leave all four dragon balls with him, but Smith decided to let him take one so that it would be easier for him to observe the other party's actions.
Speaking of the locations of the other three dragon balls, Smith Doyle was a little surprised at first. He didn't expect that Ivan Vankov would be lucky enough to pick up one. However, considering the other party's poverty, it would be relatively easy to get them as long as John Wick was willing to spend money.
As for Xu Xialing, she is a little complicated. As Xu Shangqi's sister, she runs an underground boxing ring in Hong Kong and has certain influence. John Wick needs to put in some effort to get the Dragon Ball.
On the contrary, the one in the Big Continental Hotel is in the hands of the hotel manager, who is also one of the few friends of John Wick who can risk his life for him.
As for why John Wick's collection of Dragon Balls needs to be accelerated, it is because Smith Doyle discovered that although Yamcha was quite powerful when he first appeared, he was unable to crush him. The fact that ordinary pistols and assault rifles could not cause damage did not mean that grenades, sniper rifles, or even more powerful weapons could not hurt him.
He doesn't have a vibranium shield that specifically attracts fire, and he knows a thing or two about Marvel's technological power.
In order to deal with the upcoming crisis, he needs stronger power to protect himself. It is a very good idea to first let his combat power break through 50 points. At least it is enough for him to gain a foothold in the prequel of the Marvel Universe.

the other side.
Poole came to John Wick with three documents and said,
"John, the master said to give these things to you and asked me to follow you from now on."
John Wick took the information handed to him by Poole and started reading it. Soon he finished reading the information and knew what to do next.
"Poole, how am I supposed to keep you with me without causing a commotion?"
Following John Wick's words, Poole turned into a blue cat-like hydrogen balloon and said,
"Just keep me with you like this."
John Wick nodded. This was a relatively simple solution.
He then took Poole away from the textile factory, and his first target was the Daban Continental Hotel.

night.
Continental Hotel Daban.
Shimazu and his men were patrolling their territory, and they nodded and greeted the guests in the hotel.
At this time, a black killer codenamed Hunter came to the Daban Continental Hotel with his beloved dog, a sturdy shepherd.
Akira looked at the man in front of her and said,
"Welcome to the Osaka Continental Hotel. How may I help you?"
The hunter pushed a Continental Hotel gold coin toward the woman and said:
"I want a room."
Akira took the gold coin, leaned over to see the German Shepherd next to him, and said,
"I'm sorry, animals are not allowed in this hotel."
Hunter looked at Akira and said,
"Emotional support animal."
Akira looked at the German Shepherd and asked,
"Is it your emotional support animal?"
The hunter looked down at the German Shepherd and said,
"That's the opposite. I'm its emotional support animal, right?"
As he spoke, the hunter squatted down and touched the dog's head.
Akira suppressed her smile at this answer, took out the room card and said:
"It has to stay in your room."
The hunter took the room card and turned to leave.
Akira said,
"I hope you enjoy your stay, sir."
Watching the other person leave, Akira smiled and shook her head.
The hunter came to the sofa area in the lobby and sat down, took out his mobile phone card and checked the information about John Wick, and published the contract - John Wick - bounty of 22 million US dollars.
"Very good!"
The hunter put down his phone, took out his notebook and opened it. Every page on it was filled with targets that had been bountied before, but they had all been marked. He stopped at the page with John Wick's portrait and then marked it.
Shimazu patrolled the lobby and saw the German Shepherd that the hunter brought. He looked at Akira who was approaching and asked,
"There's a dog in the lobby of my hotel."
Akira sighed, then said,
"That's an emotional support animal."
Shimazu said disdainfully,
"That's strange."
Akira then talked about Shimazu's schedule for tomorrow, and after listening to him, Shimazu asked,
"What are your plans for 8 o'clock?"
Akira spoke up,
"Have dinner with your daughter."
"She's worried that you've been too tired from work lately."
Shimazu smiled and said:
"I must have accumulated so much virtue in my previous life to have such a sweet and caring little girl."
Akira smiled and said:
"Good things happen to good people."
Shimazu nodded and said,
"Indeed."
Then he glanced around and said,
"How is our guest?"
Akira spoke up,
"Some members of the Gold Club are quite anxious."
Shimazu nodded and said,
"The world has never been peaceful."
Akira started to speak,
"An incident occurred at the Continental Hotel in New York yesterday. The manager there was beheaded."
Shimazu's expression didn't change at all as he asked,
"How is my concierge?"
Akira said:
"I'm a little worried."
Akira is the concierge at the Osaka Hotel, holding the same position as Charon at the New York Continental Hotel. In addition, she has another identity that no one else knows about: Shimazu's biological daughter.
Shimazu quipped,
"Maybe I'll have to get you an emotional support animal."
Akira didn't say much. As the group walked into the hotel's inner area, Akira spoke up,
"A wrong choice when meeting John Wick can lead to disaster."
Shimazu said:
"We have never offended the high table."
Akira said again,
"Everyone knows your relationship with John Wick. The high table will come."
Apparently Akira didn't know John Wick had joined the League of Assassins and thought he would ask his father for help.
Shimazu said,
"But we will treat you politely."
Akira was not reassured and said again:
"Wherever John Wick passes, no grass grows."
Shimazu turned to look at his daughter and said,
"When I met him, you were not even born yet."
Akira apologized:
"Forgive my father."
After saying this, Akira turned and left.
Shimazu sighed, then said,
"Akira, please tell my daughter that I am looking forward to dinner later."
Hearing this, a smile appeared on Akira's face.
Shimazu didn't dare to reveal his daughter's identity openly. He knew very well that Gaotaizhuo's method of controlling them was to threaten them with their relatives or children.
So when it comes to Akira, even though she is his daughter, she has to pretend to be a member of the protocol club, and she dare not show it in front of outsiders.
