"Very well, I'm not unreasonable. Although your life belongs to me, you're not my slave." William touched the wine glass and looked at John Wick playfully. "But you should keep your promise."
In fact, William knew very well that even if he had saved John Wick's life, it didn't mean that William could oppress John Wick as he wished.
He was so angry because John Wick had looked at him with a challenging gaze. It was normal to give up one's career for love, but it didn't mean that John Wick could turn around and go against his employer.
John Wick thought carefully for a moment and said, "Mr. Devonshire, I can continue to serve you after retirement. Other than being an assassin, I can actually do other things."
"Hmph." Thinking of how this guy could turn New York upside down for a dog, it was needless to say for a woman,
John Wick would definitely turn around and deal with William as long as he got in the way of him being with the woman he loved.
This made William even more determined in his thoughts. With these assassins and gangsters, there was no need to talk about morals and promises. There were only naked transactions. When needed, a promise was heaven. When one didn't need it anymore, a burden was a burden.
It was a shackle that restricted their freedom. For the sake of love, any shackle should be broken.
Staring into John Wick's eyes, William asked with interest, "Other than killing people, what else can you do?"
"I can be the secret guardian of the Devonshire family. I can take Helen to work for you in Oxford. I can be an ordinary person. When necessary, I can take care of people who threaten the castle for you."
This time, John Wick answered very straightforwardly. He knew that people like him wouldn't be able to live a stable life even if he retired without the protection of power.
However, he was smart and had his own thoughts. William wasn't stupid either. Although he was a little surprised that John Wick wanted to live in seclusion in Oxford, William instinctively felt that it was a hidden danger to let John Wick stay near the castle.
Once he saw that John Wick and Fei Ji's faces were exactly the same, William felt uneasy. People like him were born to cause trouble.
Before he could even protect the Devonshire Family, one of John Wick's enemies would come knocking on his door. Or, if Wei Li took a fancy to John Wick, he would conveniently mess with William.
At that time, it was still unknown who was protecting who. Moreover, William still remembered John Wick's fickle girlfriend. In the future, his wife would go to God because of cancer.
William would be crazy to bring a sick woman to the castle. It was annoying. He had never liked the woman called Eva Fontaine Olof, who was now called Helen.
Thinking of this, William couldn't help but shake his head. Looking at the current situation of the Polar Bear Gang, he needed him to risk his life for him.
His tone was amiable. "It's a waste of your talent to let you go to the castle as a bodyguard. My identity is a little sensitive. I'll leave the matter of contacting Vigo and the Abram Gang to you. It shouldn't be difficult for you."
These words were equivalent to William excluding John Wick from his core team. On the surface, the Polar Bear Gang paid 30% of the profits to Winston.
The only person who knew about the relationship between William and Winston was Charon. In the future, at least on the surface, the matter with the Polar Bear Gang had nothing to do with William.
This result wasn't what John Wick wanted the most. He sincerely hoped to be protected by William, but who told him to meet a very suspicious and overly cautious employer like William.
However, just contacting the Polar Bear Gang wasn't difficult for John Wick. With this relationship, he would be much safer in New York in the future. Since things had already come to this, John Wick could only nod and agree.
Moreover, he didn't dare to have any disloyalty now.
Firstly, John Wick admitted that he couldn't beat William. Secondly, he wanted to retire in order to be with Helen. Helen was his biggest flaw.
"Understood, sir."
"I think with you around, there won't be any problems with the accounts in the future, right? Mr. Tarasov? "William asked softly.
"Of course, Mr. Devonshire. I promise to work happily with John."
Abram hurriedly nodded in agreement. Even if he had other thoughts in his mind, he wouldn't be stupid enough to say it now.
However, as long as Abram agreed, William had plenty of ways to force Tarasov and his brother to fulfill their promise in the future. If they dared to disobey, the worst that could happen was a war.
A regional gang was really nothing in William's eyes. With Sunday, it would be much easier for him to find people.
As long as the leader of a gang knew where he was, it wasn't difficult to kill him. No ordinary person could escape from Carlos of the Cross's sniping.
The only trouble was that after killing the leader, the underground world would be in chaos for a period of time. Some of the officials might not be happy about it.
At that time, Bryan Mills would come into play. Although New York's senator wasn't a big shot, with this identity, it would be much easier to send money and political achievements.
This was also one of the reasons why William wanted the evidence in the hands of the Tarasov brothers. He needed a trump card that would make people hesitate.
As long as Bryan took care of everything in the future and didn't do things too overboard, New York's bigwigs wouldn't have the idea of a life and death struggle.
"Since we're done talking, you guys can go and prepare. It's better to take the initiative early so that the two Tarasov brothers won't be able to sleep and eat well."
William said a few perfunctory words and said goodbye to Abram. Before leaving, he asked Karon to help him get two sets of bulletproof third level suits for the Tarasov brothers.
It was a meeting gift from William to the brothers.
After listening to Karon's introduction of the suit, Abram was very satisfied with the suit that could defend against pistol shots. At the same time, he was pained by the price of five million USD per set.
However, for the sake of his life, Abram still reluctantly asked for two sets. Together with the two sets that William gave him, it was enough for the time being.
After sending Abram and John Wick off, Winston shook his head and laughed, "You're really a profiteer. I remember that you quoted two million pounds for this kind of third level bulletproof suit that can't defend against long guns.
If converted to USD, it's less than 2.5 million USD. This way, you didn't give the two sets that you gave me, and the Tarasov brothers are grateful to you. "
"Haha, my dear Winston, you have to understand that no one will cherish things that don't cost money. Only when you spend a lot of money will the Tarasov brothers value it.
I'm helping them. They wear it every day because they feel bad about the money. We still need these two brothers to help us earn money.
It would be a pity if they die before they get the benefits, "William replied with a smile.
"Oh, you." Winston was exasperated by William's money-grubbing, righteous, and moral character.
"If you really want to work with the Tarasov brothers, don't forget your identity. Once the matter between you two is exposed, it won't be good for you."
"No, I really don't care about two to three hundred million USD a year, so this money can only be taken by you.
The brothers do have something that I'm interested in, but it's not the right time to mention it. It's the first time we meet, and they've already told me what they want the most.
Vigo- Tarasov will definitely take the opportunity to extort them, and the timing isn't right. "
