The plane, taking off from Prague Václav Havel International Airport, slowly landed at New York International Airport. Zhang Jie, walking out of the airport with John, naturally headed towards his car.
Looking at the bright yellow camaro ss, John's mouth twitched.
"Don't you think it's a bit too conspicuous?"
When John raised this question, Zhang Jie also looked embarrassed. "At first, it was purely for aesthetics, but I've already booked a modification plan to change it to dark gray."
Hearing Zhang Jie's words, John nodded. Then, the two got into the car. The moment the ignition started, the roar of the engine and the rumble of the exhaust instantly silenced John.
But his eyes narrowed slightly, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
This foolish boy finally knew how to enjoy life.
Having a car he liked, wasn't that a great start?
However, as soon as he thought of this, he remembered that the first time this guy met him, he actually rented a rusty old Toyota, which almost killed him.
Turning his head, Zhang Jie had one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the car window, looking utterly carefree.
Feeling the wind blow past his ears, John's mood also improved. He casually pressed a button on the DV.
Immediately, a strong heavy metal rhythm of music came from the car stereo.
Back in black, I hit the sack
I've been too long, I'm glad to be back
Yes, I've escaped from the noose
That had me hanging about
I've been looking at the sky
Because it made me high
This is a classic hit from the legendary Australian rock band AC/DC, from their album 'Back in Black', released in 1980.
But at this moment, it was quite fitting.
The master and disciple, after the great battle in Germany, then moved on to Czech. The long journey and high mental tension truly left them physically and mentally exhausted.
John sat in the passenger seat, eyes slightly narrowed as if dozing, but his hand remained on his gun.
"Oh, by the way, before I went to Europe to find you, Santino came looking for you."
Zhang Jie suddenly remembered something and said.
"Hmm, probably about the blood oath."
John replied casually. That guy would come looking for him precisely for this matter.
Huh?
He said it so casually?
This is not quite like the original movie plot!
In the original plot, you were very resistant... Zhang Jie glanced at John. It was indeed different. Sure enough, movies are movies, and life is life.
There was no Ling Feng in the original plot either!
Nor did he know so many people. He even knew formidable figures like Carlos. John's social circle is a bit wide!
"However, that guy coming to me is not a good thing either…" John added.
"Oh?"
Zhang Jie didn't react.
"He definitely wants to seize power," John said indifferently. To him, these actions were somewhat laughable.
For temporary gain, disregarding family affection, he even abandoned his dignity.
In contrast, whether it was Ling Feng, Helen, or Zhang Jie, they all treated him like family, stepping forward immediately when there was trouble, while blood relatives were trying to kill each other.
Zhang Jie hesitated, "So, you're going to complete it?"
John nodded, "The blood oath must be completed. Whether I retire or not, the consequences of violating it would be even more severe."
Zhang Jie slapped the steering wheel, "Then I'll just take him out first!"
Damn it!
Just a young master, I can't deal with you?
John rolled his eyes. What was this foolish boy thinking?
The Mafia is not that easy to provoke.
After Zhang Jie dropped John off at home, Hades immediately opened the door and pounced on him!
John was caught off guard and was directly knocked to the ground. Good heavens, he's strong enough!
John immediately hugged Hades and performed a Brazil… dog head kill!
Hahahaha~
Hades, with his tongue out, affectionately rubbed against John. It had been too long; Hades missed John terribly.
It took John a while to soothe Hades, but when he saw Zhang Jie staring strangely at his feet, he had a bad premonition.
Sure enough, when he lowered his head, he saw his leather shoes were covered in urine.
John: (Ŏ д Ŏ ;)
Oh no, suddenly I have an urge to draw my gun, what should I do?
Zhang Jie silently took two steps back, then bypassed John and Hades, opened the door, and went inside.
Fortunately, fortunately, the house wasn't messy. Hades was quite well-behaved. Otherwise, tonight might have been a dog meat feast.
John walked in, wiped his leather shoes with paper, then tossed them by the door, planning to have someone clean them later.
Walking into the living room, he saw the photo frame placed on top of the refrigerator cabinet from afar. A complex expression flashed in John's eyes.
He didn't expect that this photo frame, left in the storage room, could be dug out by Hades.
However, seeing Zhang Jie sitting on the sofa drinking his soda, he suddenly smiled.
"This should probably be God sending me an apprentice to compensate for my misery, right?" John murmured, then came to the living room, opened the refrigerator, took out a bottle of soda, and then flipped the photo frame over.
Tsss—
Clink!
Pulling the tab of the can and taking a gulp of soda, John let out a soft sigh. He had to admit, it felt good to be home.
After chatting a bit more in the living room, Zhang Jie got up to leave; he needed to go back to his apartment.
As Zhang Jie drove away in his camaro ss, John glanced out the window, then at the overturned photo frame.
He let out a long breath.
"I can't die easily now, or else my foolish apprentice might do something reckless, and who would clean up his mess?"
After silently muttering a sentence, John stared blankly at the scenery outside.
Meanwhile, as Zhang Jie drove his camaro ss back to the apartment, on the tall building opposite him, a phone placed nearby vibrated.
"Hmm?"
The man, dressed in a shirt and trousers, sitting bored nearby, glanced at his phone.
The man then put his eye to the high-magnification scope of the sniper rifle and saw that the yellow camaro ss had returned.
"I finally waited for you to come back, otherwise I was already preparing to leave."
He had been waiting here for three days. Ever since he got information about that man, he had been waiting in this spot. He originally planned to leave today if he couldn't wait any longer, but he didn't expect this guy to actually come back.
Then, the man adjusted the parameters of the scope and carefully watched the man walking into the apartment.
Silently observing.
—
Yes, indeed, the debt collector is back.
There's always been a question: does it have to be an overpowered rampage to be satisfying?
One person killing through an entire organization or base?
Is that realistic?
Perhaps reality is a desperate counterattack, perhaps a narrow victory, or maybe tormenting first then killing, or letting the opponent think they're winning before a reversal – wouldn't that be satisfying too?
Yeah~ Hehehehe!
