Chapter 24 Subduing John Wick
The moment a killing intent rose in Ryan's heart, John Wick felt completely numb.
Enveloped by the killing intent of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, a highly perceptive assassin like John Wick felt as if he had fallen into a sea of blood in Hell.
"My Lord, please allow me to put down my gun before speaking."
As a member of the Dark Dimension, John Wick had some knowledge and was quick to back down.
After all, this World was not simply the World of "John Wick."
In a World stitched together from countless movie plots, the true Master behind an international assassin organization like the Continental Hotel was the Dark Council.
And within the Dark Council, there was no shortage of extraordinary beings.
The Night Demon's reputation was quite good at the New York Continental Hotel, but he was merely a front put forward by the Russian Mafia, not top-tier.
On the rooftop.
John Wick cautiously placed his firearm down, then removed various other pieces of equipment.
Finally, John Wick knelt on one knee, in an undefended posture, surrendering before Ryan.
Ryan looked at the familiar John Wick, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"John Wick, you seem a bit different from what I imagined. Hmm, a strong will to live?"
"Yes, My Lord, my beloved still needs me."
"I heard you retired from the Jianghu a few years ago. What reason led you to assassinate me?"
"It was a Blood Oath. Besides that, I needed Undying Blood to save my beloved."
Facing Ryan's questions, John Wick appeared extremely sincere, without any concealment.
Ryan was also well aware of the matter of 'Undying Blood.'
Undying Blood was a special potion thrown out to the outside World by the Dark Council through the Continental Hotel, capable of transforming many dying people into Dark Creatures.
Even after becoming a Dark Creature, it was difficult to integrate into human society.
Yet, under the threats of Death and disease, many people still flocked to Undying Blood.
The Dark Council, Continental Hotel, and others could exist semi-openly in the Human World, and this Undying Blood played a huge role.
Many in power, when they had no other choice,
would choose to embrace the Dark, even at the risk of no longer being part of mainstream society.
Just like John Wick at this moment.
His wife was suffering from a terminal illness, and in order to obtain Undying Blood, John Wick had no choice but to re-enter the Jianghu, arranged by the Russian Mafia, to assassinate Ryan.
Looking at the humble, almost 'docile' John Wick before him,
Ryan felt a strange sense of emotion.
To be honest, before Transmigration, Ryan quite liked the "John Wick" movie series.
Killing him like this seemed a bit of a waste.
John Wick's combat power was roughly on par with Frank's before he pledged allegiance to Ryan.
The most crucial aspect was that John Wick had considerable experience in the underground World.
As Ryan's influence expanded, he also needed to recruit subordinates who could stand on their own.
And most importantly,
John Wick was pragmatic enough. For example, earlier, even when Ryan deliberately showed a weakness to him, he didn't pull the trigger.
Whether it was good luck or incredible intuition, he did not make a move.
Otherwise, Ryan would absolutely not spare anyone who dared to attack him.
"John Wick, do you want to save your wife? To spare her from the torment of illness, to allow her to live in the sunlight, rather than become a putrid Dark Creature?"
Hearing Ryan's words, John Wick visibly trembled and showed a hint of excitement.
Undying Blood was well-known in the underground World.
This stuff could allow one to escape Death, but similarly, the side effects were enormous.
Vampires, werewolves, liches, and other Dark Creatures were beings that could not endure sunlight.
If given a choice, John Wick would never let his wife become a Dark Creature.
"My Lord, what can I do for you?"
John Wick tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart, maintaining his composure.
There was no free lunch in this World, especially when it concerned life and Death.
Ryan's words made John Wick understand that he would inevitably have to pay a great price.
But as long as he could save his wife, John Wick was willing.
Ryan chuckled, casually handing over a jade talisman.
"This jade talisman contains a Seal of a Spring Rejuvenation Talisman, enough to cure all illnesses in the World. Accept this jade talisman, and you will serve me until the end of your life."
"You can choose to refuse, but once accepted, you cannot betray me."
"Otherwise, even those in Death will have to pay the price for it."
"Believe me, even Hell and Heaven cannot stop it."
Ryan's words were not loud, but they were impactful.
That kind of power, permeating between Heaven and Earth, seemed capable of shattering the Void Realm and dimensions, causing one's Soul to tremble from within.
But even so,
John Wick only hesitated for two breaths before respectfully accepting the jade talisman.
"My Lord, I will serve you and offer you my loyalty."
"Very good. Go and take the head of the one who gave you the order, and in exchange, I will grant you my pardon."
"As you command, My Lord."
Holding the jade talisman with both hands, John Wick respectfully lowered his head.
And when John Wick looked up again, the rooftop was already empty.
After witnessing Ryan's mystery and extraordinary abilities again, John Wick was startled but also didn't know whether to cry or laugh. He then tidied up the scene and quickly left.
Ryan did not pay attention to John Wick's departure.
When John Wick accepted that jade talisman, his life and even his Soul were already in Ryan's hands.
Compared to John Wick's departure,
a strange aura erupting from the Green Hat Nightclub in the distance attracted Ryan more.
After accepting John Wick's allegiance,
Ryan quickly used the Five Ghosts Transporting Technique to cross the Void Realm and arrived at the Green Hat Nightclub in one step.
At this time, the Green Hat Nightclub was already devoid of customers. Bullet holes, gunpowder smoke, blood, and corpses were everywhere, messy like a battlefield.
"This scene is truly quite brutal."
"Frank, that old fellow, is as ferocious and violent as ever."
Walking through the ruined battlefield,
following that strange, cold aura, Ryan quickly arrived at the basement level of the nightclub.
Green Hat Nightclub, second basement level.
What appeared in Ryan's eyes was a slaughter space formed by converging blood.

Chapter 25 Refining the Blood Transformation Demon Blade
The action team assembled by Frank was no worse than America's most elite special forces.
Against these Irish Mob members, it was simply a crushing victory.
Wherever Ryan passed, it was basically all the fallen Irish Mob members.
However, strangely, after those Irish Mob members died, the blood flowing from their bodies all converged along a strange pattern into the second basement level of the Green Hat Nightclub.
An intensely crimson blood light enveloped the entire second basement level.
In that blood-colored space, Frank and his action team members were enveloped by golden light, unharmed but completely unable to move an inch.
Only in the deepest part of the second basement level, on a huge blood-colored altar, were blood-colored waterfalls surging ceaselessly.
At the same time, on that altar, there were also fourteen Vampires serving as sacrifices, bound by blood-colored chains.
