Chapter 3: John Wick

Ninja recruited at the same time, if the Deployment Slot is open, can materialize and become a living person in the Marvel World.

2D characters descend into reality!

Aside from the initial Deployment Slot, each additional slot requires gold coins to open.

Over three years, all the gold coins he obtained from daily sign-ins were spent on Deployment Slots, ultimately only opening two more.

Three materialized Ninja, including himself, can form a three-plus-one small team configuration.

As long as there are enough Deployment Slots, he can even bring all the Ninja characters into the Marvel World.

Materialized characters possess their own intelligence but are 100% loyal to the recruiter.

If they weren't 100% loyal and couldn't harm him, he wouldn't dare to materialize them into the real world, as some Ninja are known for their endless tricky maneuvers.

As for Summoning Technique, he has currently only unlocked Ninja Hound. The later Blue Snake, Toads, and even Tailed Beast make him envious, but unfortunately, he hasn't even leveled up Ninja Hound to its maximum.

But it's close. With a bit more reputation, he'll be able to max out Ninja Hound and unlock the next summon, Blue Snake.

After checking his personal information, Charlotte Doyle finished the whiskey in her glass and slowly lay down on the bed to sleep.

The next day.

After having breakfast at the hotel, Charlotte was sitting idly in the hotel lobby. As for his secretary, Ms. Ginny, he had sent her to his agency.

At this moment, Charlotte, sitting idly in the lobby, saw a man carrying a suitcase walking step by step towards the hotel front desk to check in. His steps were steady, but his expression was grim, and a murderous aura enveloped him. Clearly, he had killed many people last night, and now he resembled a live volcano ready to erupt at any moment.

"Hi! John."

Charlotte extended a hand in greeting. He and John had met more than once.

Because of the Summoning Dog, he and the Johns had met more than once while walking their dogs, and they had exchanged contact information.

When John received the puppy gifted by his beloved, he had once called Charlotte to ask for advice on dog care.

He was also a dog friend with some connection. Especially at this moment, when John encountered Charlotte at the Continental Hotel and was greeted, he was also stunned, not expecting him to be an assassin from the Continental Hotel.

One must know that after he retired from the assassin world because of his beloved, he had washed his hands of it for four years. He had almost cut off contact with everyone at the Continental Hotel and didn't know much about Charlotte's specific job.

After being stunned for a moment, he slowly said, "Charlotte, I'm here to check into the hotel."

Charlotte walked forward, stopped a meter in front of John Wick, and then slowly said, "You seem to be in trouble. Someone has offered two million U.S. dollars. So, do you need help?"

"Just one Contract Badge will do."

He knew that although this matter caused John Wick considerable trouble, if he simply lent a hand and got a Contract Badge for free, it would be a worthwhile deal for him.

John Wick didn't care when he heard there was a two million U.S. dollar bounty on him. After killing the assassins who came last night, he already knew that the other party wouldn't sit idly by and would definitely offer a bounty. So he slowly said, "Not for now. If I need it, I'll contact you."

"Alright, then we'll be in touch."

Hearing John Wick's refusal, Charlotte didn't mind. John Wick still had a lot of trouble, and things wouldn't always go smoothly. There would always be a time when he needed help. Besides, he could also proactively intervene to save people in seemingly dangerous situations, making the other party owe him a favor.

After seeing Charlotte walk away, John Wick continued towards the hotel front desk. At this moment, a beautiful female assassin who had just finished checking in spoke to John Wick behind her, "Nice to see you again, John!"

"You too, Perkins!"

After the two exchanged greetings, John checked in and then left the hotel lobby.

Meanwhile, Charlotte continued to sit in the hotel lobby, slowly drinking coffee.

The show is about to begin tonight!

Night fell.

In the Continental Hotel's underground bar, Charlotte and Ginny were sitting together in a booth not far from the bar entrance, drinking bourbon whiskey.

"Charlotte, John Wick, whom we discussed last night, has had his price increased to 4 million U.S. dollars, with four gold coins. Are you sure you're not considering it?"

Ginny whispered the latest information she knew into Charlotte's ear.

Charlotte extended his index finger and shook it.

He indicated that he was not considering this mission, then explained, "I have a better plan."

He thought highly of John Wick. Although he was just an 'ordinary person,' his strength was considerable. He was known as the Night Devil, decisive in killing.

If he could recruit him as a subordinate, it would be a significant help to him in the early stages.

After all, although his three Ninja were strong, he was short-staffed, making it difficult to accomplish certain tasks.

As the two were talking, the bar door opened, and John Wick walked in.

Seeing the newcomer, Charlotte greeted him again.

His voice reached John's ears.

"Hi! John."

Hearing Charlotte's voice, John saw the two people not far from the entrance, then scanned the bar and saw Winston in a booth.

John then walked up to Charlotte and said, "Good evening, Charlotte!"

Looking at John, who had come to greet him, Charlotte said, "John, your price has doubled, 4 million plus 4 gold coins. Are you sure you don't need my help?"

"Some of the newcomers these days aren't very disciplined."

Hearing Charlotte's words, John Wick's brow furrowed slightly. As an assassin, eagerly offering help surely meant the other party needed him for something. Since he had already retired from the assassin world, and this was merely a personal grudge, he didn't want to get caught in that quagmire again.

However, the bounty on him had doubled, and there were 4 gold coins, which made John realize that things were no longer simple.

Other assassins might take action for the bounty, but thinking of his own strength, he believed he could handle it. In the end, he politely declined Charlotte's offer, stating that he could handle it for now.

Afterward, John Wick left Charlotte and walked directly towards Winston's booth.

He had some things to discuss with Winston, and he also needed to know the current location of those scoundrels.
