However, even the most honest person would occasionally have a rebellious streak.
Luke, who usually followed the rules and caught people who broke the law, felt a little playful as he sat on the sink.
He took out an ice cream cone from his backpack, and it was strawberry-flavored.
It was a portable snack that Selina occasionally needed, and it had finally come in handy today.
Thus, Luke watched as the young couple shivered as they swallowed the ice cream leisurely.
A lot of people looked at him strangely.
It wasn't rare to see handsome men, but few were as handsome as John Wick.
It wasn't rare to see handsome men eating ice cream, but it was even rarer to see such a cold and aloof handsome man eating a strawberry cone.
Luke, who had already attracted a lot of attention, was now the focus of even more attention.
"Um … Can you give me an ice cream?" a small female voice asked.
Luke turned his head, and saw a petite girl in her twenties looking at him.
She was slightly embarrassed, but there was both anxiety and excitement on her face.
Clearly, she was under a lot of pressure to talk to a handsome man in a suit who was eating a strawberry cone.
Luke's expression didn't change. He took out another strawberry cone from his backpack and gave it to her.
The girl was overjoyed. She thanked him in a low voice and accepted the cone with trembling hands.
Her head was dizzy, and she didn't even think about why the cone had been put in her backpack. The cone that Luke had taken out didn't even have a wrapper.
She took a small bite. Hmm, strawberry. Sweet!
On the roof of a building hundreds of meters away, a short-haired woman watched the entire scene through binoculars.
The corner of her mouth twitched. Was this … really John Wick? The Night Devil who had killed countless people? He actually had a strawberry cone with him and was using it to hit on a girl?
Well, fine, it was actually the girl who was hitting on him. But that was too outrageous! The short-haired woman was deeply suspicious.
She wondered if the rumors she had heard before were true.
Maybe she should call her boss? This Night Devil seemed a little unreliable after his retirement. She hesitated.
At that moment, the patrol officer finally watched the young couple finish their ice cream before letting the two unlucky kids go.
He took the opportunity to glance at the pool area and was about to get into the police car to leave when he suddenly paused.
He abruptly turned his head and saw a man and a woman eating ice cream by the side of the pool.
The girl was smiling as she said something to the man. The man's face was calm as he looked at her.
After a while, the handsome man in the suit unhurriedly stuffed the last tip of the cone into his mouth.
The patrolman was speechless.
However, even though the man had destroyed all the "evidence", the girl was still talking and hadn't touched the ice cream cone in her hand.
The patrolman strode away, his heart filled with hatred. This guy is blatantly feeding dog food! If I can't catch you in the act, I can catch your girlfriend.
Watching the patrol officer walk over quickly, Luke said casually, "The police are here."
The girl, who was asking the handsome guy what he was going to do in Rome, was stunned. She followed Luke's gaze and saw the patrol officer.
Stunned for a moment, she looked down at the ice cream in her hand and suddenly panicked. "Ah, this, this, what should I do?"
If she was caught by the patrol officer at the pool area, she might be fined.
Panicking, she looked left and right before her gaze finally fell on her jacket, as if she was planning to hide the ice cream in it.
Luke, who had a slight obsession with cleanliness, couldn't help but sweat when he thought of the wet, sticky mess under his winter clothes. He could only say, "Give me your hand. I'll show you a little magic trick."
The girl: "Huh?" She obediently placed her hands in front of him.
Luke said, "The one with the ice cream."
The girl immediately withdrew her left hand.
Luke covered her right hand with his palm. "Wait, when I tell you to let go, you let go, understand?"
The girl nodded blankly.
Luke said, "Ready. Let go."
The girl subconsciously let go of her right hand, and she felt his hand press down on hers. The warmth and roughness enveloped her.
Stunned for a moment, she blushed.
It wasn't because she was shy, but because she was excited.
She had actually been ambushed by the handsome guy. She was so happy! For a moment, she forgot everything, and didn't even notice the patrol officer in front of her.
The patrol officer lowered his head and stared at their hands. "No food, especially ice cream, is allowed here. Offenders will be fined ten to fifty euros."
Luke unhurriedly moved his hand away and stood up. He nodded at the girl who was still sitting. "Good night."
He then nodded at the patrol officer. "Good night to you too." He then walked away.
The patrol officer: "… Good night."
He didn't expect this guy to abandon his girlfriend.
He looked down at the girl's right hand.
There was nothing there.
The girl also stood up. "Wait, wait, what's your name …" She shouted and chased after Luke.
The patrol officer was left scratching his head. "That's not right. I clearly saw her with an ice cream cone."
The girl, who had chased him for more than ten meters, was suddenly stunned.
People were coming and going in front of her.
But the figure in the black suit was nowhere to be seen.
On a rooftop far away, the short-haired woman couldn't help but put down her binoculars. She rubbed her eyes and thought to herself, I must be overusing my eyes. Why would a Night Demon perform magic for a little girl? That didn't make sense.
She didn't know that Luke, who had just turned into another street, glanced at the rooftop and smiled. Santino's dog, and a female one at that? Hehe! John, you really attract the attention of the opposite sex.
He wasn't John.
John was all alone. He had Tony Stark's technology and the abilities of multiple superhumans.
It was obvious who was watching whom and who was scheming against whom.
It was just an opportunity to visit the classic set of Audrey Hepburn's movie, and find out who was tailing him. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Satisfied, Luke returned to the hotel and fell asleep.
He woke up at three in the morning the next day. After breakfast, he began to plan his operation in his room.
The difficulty of the operation wasn't in assassinating the target, but how to complete it in John Wick's way as much as possible.
At the same time, this mission couldn't be as easy as chopping melons and vegetables, which could easily scare off certain people who were ready to make trouble.
Luring the snake out of its hole was a good plan, but would the snake still come out if the dragon was at the snake's hole? Unless the snake was an idiot.
Santino might be ruthless, but he definitely wasn't an idiot.
