Chapter 281: After fighting for several years, the treasure was stolen by the old six
"I don't understand how you came to this conclusion, Mr. Wick. The word Assassin Brotherhood means that you are currently out of reach." Berada said with an indifferent expression at this time. "For the Continental Hotel, the assassins of the Assassin Brotherhood are our hostile forces, and they are by no means just competitors."
"I have fought against the blood dragon. The blood dragon's weapons are very special."
As he spoke, John looked around, picked up a fruit knife from the fruit plate on the side, put it on his wrist, and then made a stabbing motion forward: "There is something like a fist on his wrist. It's a stabbing weapon, but it's retractable and hidden on the inside of the wrist. My friends in the Yan Kingdom told me that that kind of weapon is called a hidden sword."
"Hmm..." Bellada pondered, "The hidden sword... is indeed the iconic weapon of those thieves. But in this era, firearms should be more suitable for assassination."
"But since you have said the word 'Assassin Brotherhood', you should know something about them."
"I don't know much about it. I just know that it is an organization similar to the Continental Hotel but it trains killers within the power. It seems to have appeared during the American Civil War." John lied without changing his face. Kane When he invited me back then, he told him a lot about the fraternity.
"The Assassin Brotherhood... was originally called the 'Invisible Ones'. The history of Assassins can be traced back to BC, Mr. Wick."
Berada said seriously. He opened his collar and pulled out the gold chain hanging around his neck. A strange-shaped emblem ring was pierced by the gold chain and hung around his neck. It seemed that it had been used as a talisman. Wear.
And what was engraved on that emblem ring was the "Seal of Cain".
"Actually, I shouldn't tell you these things, but you brought a lot of information when you came here. I think you are qualified to join our great cause, Mr. Wick."
"Before the millennium, the founder of the Continental Hotel worked for a great organization called the 'Templar Order', dedicated to bringing order to the world. The predecessor of the 'Templar Order' was called 'Ancient The Order'."
"The 'Assassin Brotherhood' originated from the 'Invisible Ones', an assassin organization during the Ptolemaic Dynasty of ancient Egypt. They are the enemies of the 'Order of the Ancients', a group of shameless thieves and fanatics who disregard the law. . They have brought countless troubles and wars to the world through various terrorist actions..."
"In fact, whether it is the 'Order of the Ancients' and the 'Invisible Ones', or the 'Templar Order' and the 'Assassin Brotherhood', they are essentially the opposites of light and shadow, good and evil. The meaning of our existence is to let The world has become a more orderly and beautiful place, and now those damn thieves show up again, Mr. Wick."
Berada solemnly took off the gold chain and took out the emblem ring representing the Temple Order. He seemed to be struggling. Then, he looked at John and said solemnly:
"When you contacted me through Sophia, I reported the situation to the elders. Although you have left the Continental Hotel to live a retired life, you are still willing to be loyal to the Continental Hotel and the High Table. This makes the High Table The elder is moved, Mr. Wick.”
"Now, come forward and I will hand this honor over to you."
John stepped forward expressionlessly. Neither he nor Chen Yan expected this to happen. Originally, I just came here to test it out, but I didn't expect that Berada would directly launch the king bomb at the beginning. How could he answer it?
"Swear to me."
Berada seemed to think that it was normal for the famous Night Demon to have facial paralysis. However, he did not notice anything strange about John, but raised his right hand and said solemnly.
John glanced at Berada a little strangely, and then raised his right hand in a similar manner.
"I swear."
“Uphold the principles of the organization and the positions held by the temple.”
“Never share the secrets of the temple with others, nor expose the true nature of temple work.”
"No matter what the cost, this oath shall not be broken until death."
“May the Father of Insight guide us.”
Like the Assassin Brotherhood, the Templar Order also has its own beliefs. Whether an organization is noble depends on whether its leaders and executors can correctly understand and implement the organization's beliefs. The reason why revolutionaries appear is just because of different understandings at the conceptual level. In the final analysis, the boundary between order and freedom is thinner than paper. It is just the rise of yin and the decline of yang. However, it must decline over time.
It can only be said that Chen Yan put his old rival on the table and made the elders of the high table a little anxious. Perhaps he was so anxious to take John under his command because he was worried that John Wick, a man who was pursuing freedom, would be abducted by the Assassins in advance?
It's a pity that he has been kidnapped and it was not Assassin who took the initiative. When the High Table planned to bring John back to become a weapon of the Temple, John and the High Table were already in a fight to the death.
John finished the long oath without emotion, then took the ring from Berada's hand and put it on the ring finger of his right hand as he ordered.
"I will take you to meet the elder, John. He attaches great importance to your request." Berada said.
The door of the mint slowly opened, and Berada led John and Sophia towards the door.
In the empty hall, no one noticed that the world's first Continental Hotel gold coin and the first blood contract mark, which were placed in two huge display cabinets, disappeared out of thin air with a flash of light.
Instead, there was something that looked like a toilet tissue, with a line of English written on it.
"Your collection is very good, but it's a pity that it will be mine in the next second."
"Yours sincerely, Blood Dragon."

"I thought you wouldn't come, Miss Inquisitor."
Two hours ago, New York, Bowery Street.
Morpheus Plus Bowery King caressed the white dove in his arms and said softly. Behind him, the female inquisitor walked out of the stairs with a bald killer named "Zero". The female inquisitor was obviously not interested in Bowery's trick of looking behind people's backs.
Bowery Street, the largest intelligence organization under the High Table, if Bowery King, known as the "King of the Underground", doesn't even know the news that he is coming, then there is no need for him as the "King of the Underground" Keep going.
"Actually... you came by chance, madam." Bowery turned around slowly, grinning widely to reveal his gaping front teeth, "John asked me to bring you a message."
"The blood dragon is going to assassinate the elder, and he will complete the mission you issued. So the little brother standing next to me, I don't know what mission this bitch has issued for you, but if you go later, you will probably even drink the soup. Not going up."
"John Maja Faraker Wake, a man of the utmost concentration."
"He never misses his prey."
