In fact, the previous explosion was indeed planned by them, and they had studied it for a long time, observing everyone.
They took money to do business and eliminate troubles for others; although they were also an assassin squad, their method of killing was unique. They never used firearms, but instead completed their missions through a series of continuous, frequent accidents and coincidences.
This was also the fundamental reason why this squad charged high fees, yet was extremely guarded against and feared.
Because you simply didn't know when an accident would happen, or when it would take your life.
Almost all targets marked by this squad had no chance of escape, always dying accidentally through various coincidences.
But this time, they met their match. The first time was an explosion, which surprisingly failed to eliminate the target, only killing a few other irrelevant individuals.
The motorcyclist was one of them.
The falling flowerpot that Johnny encountered was truly an accident, but the disappearance of the asphalt truck driver was not. He was directly taken away by a member of their squad, who then took out his keys, released the handbrake, and locked the door.
The reason that water tower fell from above was also their doing.
Finally, the tanker truck was blocked in that position because the two cars in front were also arranged by their team. Upon reaching that spot, they stopped directly, and the drivers left their vehicles, causing a traffic jam there.
The motorcyclist was a well-known gang enforcer in that area; eliminating him could solve many problems.
In fact, the first mission was completed perfectly. The explosion was originally intended to eliminate Brother Wen, but there was a deviation because Ah Gui and his team keenly detected something amiss and covered Brother Wen's departure from that location in advance.
The second target was to eliminate the tiger head ben, but the vigilance of the old Toyota in front was surprisingly high. It's unclear whether the other party saw through their plan or if it was a coincidence, but it actually collided with their prepared van.
Because the drivers of both the van and the truck were members of their squad, one of their team members was originally driving the large truck, intending to collide with the tiger head ben when it swerved to avoid the out-of-control van. The tiger head ben would be forced to yield, and the truck would then directly crash into it, killing everyone inside.
Who would have thought that the guy driving the Toyota would be so vigilant, directly ramming the van aside and allowing the tiger head ben to leave right behind it?
A perfect coincidence was thus easily thwarted. However, the second arrangement was indeed a bit rushed, so it was unavoidable that it was broken.
Fortunately, the member driving the van did not sustain any serious injuries, only a scraped arm.
The man took out his phone and made a call, "Mission temporarily terminated."
Two failures made him realize that the other side also had experts, so he temporarily terminated it. If he continued, other tricky accidents might occur, which would be counterproductive.
After receiving his call, the other members of the squad also temporarily breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this was their first time encountering consecutive mission failures due to errors.
On the other side, A-Lai drove the tiger head ben to the port. When he stopped the car, the slightly damaged Toyota behind also stopped. Several people got out, still guarding Brother Wen, and Johnny also got out and stood opposite them.
"Hey, what's your name?"
Ah Gui, wearing glasses, looked at Johnny and asked. From these observations, he could tell that the other party was also a top assassin, so he was interested in getting to know him.
"Night Owl."
Johnny did not give his real name, but rather his codename. Ah Gui nodded, not paying too much attention.
Brother Wen reached into his embrace, pulled out two gold coins, and tossed them to Johnny. Johnny reached out and caught them, feeling the heavy sensation in his hand, and smiled with satisfaction.
"The mission is settled."
Brother Wen nodded; he was very satisfied with Johnny's performance. "Are you interested in working for me?"
At the same time, he also developed an appreciation for talent; after all, a master of such skill would undoubtedly be an excellent choice if he could recruit him.
But Johnny decisively shook his head. "I'm used to being lazy and have no interest in working for anyone. But if you need something and I happen to be nearby, you can find me."
Johnny took out a slip of paper from his embrace, wrote a phone number on it, walked two steps forward, and handed it to Ah Gui.
Ah Gui reached out, took it, glanced at the number, and nodded. "If there's an opportunity, I definitely will, but I hope that opportunity doesn't come."
Johnny understood his words; after all, who wants to be hunted, right?
After collecting his payment, Johnny turned, got into a Toyota, started the car, executed a reverse and a tail-whip, then stepped on the gas and left.
"This Night Owl is quite interesting," Ah Gui commented with a smile.
A Ran pouted, "Too bad he's a lunatic."
He didn't know Johnny's driving skills, but based on these few maneuvers alone, he already had such an impression of Johnny.
As for Fei Zai, A-Xin, and Mike, they didn't express opinions, but their eyes still showed admiration.
Brother Wen indeed nodded. "If there's an opportunity, he's definitely someone to consider; reliable and highly efficient."
"Let's go, let's get out of here first."
Ah Gui spoke, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
Johnny drove towards the airport. At this moment, his phone rang. He glanced at it; it was Gina calling.
"Where are you now?"
Upon answering the phone, he heard her barrage of questions, and Johnny directly rolled his eyes.
Good heavens, how dare you ask?
As a director of a certain CIA bureau, your style of conduct is unacceptable.
You tricked me into coming here for pandoras box, but then you swapped it out yourself. That trick of a thief crying'stop thief' was quite well done.
"I'm still in Philippines."
Apparently, Johnny also didn't plan to tell the truth. The other party didn't make a sound, just continued to speak.
"Need help? Our plane is parked at the airport."
Johnny just scoffed. The bounty in the underworld was issued by yourselves; now to pretend to offer help is simply too ridiculous, isn't it?
Johnny had already largely guessed the other party's motives. The pandoras box must be in her hands. Through the pandoras box, satellite falls could be controlled, which was a serious threat to various countries.
And to cover up your actions, you deliberately sent agents to search for the other party, while secretly still doing such things. Your behavior is truly ugly.
"Oh, got it."
Johnny's reply directly silenced Gina. Had the other party discovered her actions?
That shouldn't be; she had been so discreet.
Little did she know, Johnny and Kane actually knew each other, though not directly, but through John Wick.
Not only did he complete the process of showing goodwill in a very short time, but he also largely dismantled her conspiracy.
And Johnny's purpose in rushing to the international airport at this time was to go back and beat her up.
