Dragon Ball Arrives in Marvel
Chapter 39 The Secret That Cannot Be Hidden
Chapter 39 The Secret That Cannot Be Hidden (Please Read)
In the desert, Smith Doyle used the Dragon Ball to observe John Wick's situation while leading everyone towards him.
Fortunately, everyone was riding camels. If they had been driving an SUV, they would have gotten stuck in the sand and been unable to move.
Smith Doyle controlled the distance between the two parties and did not dare to get too close before John Wick saw the elder. After all, the desert was endless and if he got too close, his whereabouts would be exposed to the other party.
Of course, the distance would not be too far, and he would have enough time to rescue John Wick. He did not want the other party to have half of his finger cut off due to slow support. After all, John Wick was now his subordinate.
······
Time passed little by little, and John Wick was finally brought before the elder. The waiter pulled him off the camel without any courtesy and threw him on the carpet. The sunlight shone on his cheek, and John Wick slowly woke up.
"Drink!"
Hearing the voice next to his ear, John Wick immediately looked at his pocket, where the Dragon Ball was.
"Don't worry, your food is still there, drink it."
After hearing these words, John Wick gradually came back to his senses and looked towards the place where the voice came from.
Sitting in front of him at this moment was a dark-skinned man dressed in Arab style, but looking extremely luxurious.
John slowly sat up, picked up the glass of water in front of him, and was about to drink it.
Then I heard the man in front of me speak again:
"Son, why are you lost?"
John faced the man in front of him and slowly said:
"I'm not lost, I'm looking for you."
"Do you think I'm talking about your location?"
John did not answer immediately, but slowly poured the water in the cup into his mouth. He was very thirsty.
"I've never seen anyone fight so hard to escape a world of killing, only to find themselves back where they started."
The elder stood up and walked to John, then slowly squatted down and looked at John Wick and said:
"Tell me, Jonathan."
"Why do you want to live?"
Hearing the other party's words, John Wick said:
"My wife, Helen."
"For her, for us."
John Wick lowered his head after answering. At this moment, he was wondering when Smith Doyle's support would arrive and when he should launch a counterattack.
After hearing John Wick's answer, the elder asked again:
"So you want to live for the memory of love?"
John Wick looked up at the other party and said in a low voice:
“It’s more than just memories.”
The elder looked at the man in front of him, without dwelling on the meaning of his words, and asked:
"I heard that you have obtained the protection of the Assassin's League."
John Wick was a little surprised that the elder knew this, but it seemed reasonable, so he didn't lie:
"Yes, I received their protection."
The elder looked at John Wick for a while, then said:
"You are the first and only person to enter the Assassin's League as a registered assassin in front of the Continental Hotel."
"I'm a little curious, given their status, how could they protect and accept you."
John Wick thought of the dragon ball his wife gave him and said:
"It was Helen who brought me this luck. Perhaps it was her blessing." The elder smiled and did not take John Wick's words seriously. Instead, he asked:
"You have already obtained the protection of the Assassin's League, so why are you here to see me?"
John Wick knew he had to continue to delay time, so he said:
"I need to remove the public bounty on me."
The elder was not surprised by John Wick's request. When he learned that John Wick was heading here, he had analyzed the other party's purpose.
"It seems you are not content to stay at the headquarters of the League of Assassins."
"I can give you the opportunity to be free, so that you don't have to worry about being assassinated by others."
"But you need to complete five tasks for me and tell me a secret."
"If you agree to these conditions and tell me the secret, I can revoke your expulsion and cancel the public reward."
"And those five tasks will require you to devote all your energy to completing them for the rest of your life."
The elder actually wanted John Wick's loyalty more, but he knew that after receiving the protection of the League of Assassins, the other party would no longer agree to such a thing, so he could only compromise and put forward this condition, and he would not lose out by taking the five tasks.
When John Wick heard the conditions proposed by the elder, he remained calm on the surface but was actually dismissive in his heart. After all, if nothing unexpected happened, the Assassin's League would soon go to war with the High Table, and the elder in front of him would be the first to die.
It doesn't matter if you agree to the other party's conditions. Now you just need to buy time.
The elder obviously didn't know the plans of the Assassin's League, nor did he know John Wick's inner thoughts. He stood up and returned to his chair and said:
"Of course, the choice is yours."
"The choice is to be able to leave the castle and commemorate his wife, or be trapped in it for the rest of his life."
After hearing the choice given by the elder, John Wick stood up and glanced around with his peripheral vision, but did not see Smith Doyle and others.
I can only continue to delay time:
"What secret do you want to know?"
The elder clapped his hands as if John Wick had agreed. One of his men came up with a box, came in front of John Wick, opened it and showed what was inside.
When John Wick saw what was in the box, he was also stunned. He didn't expect that the elder also had a dragon ball in his hand, and looking at the stars inside, it should be a three-star ball.
John Wick was delighted, because he would soon have 4 dragon balls in his hands, and he was not far from having 7 to fulfill his wish.
The elder said:
"Tell me, what exactly is this treasure and what secrets are hidden in it."
John Wick was silent for two seconds and then asked:
"Do I really have to know this?"
"How about we start by talking about what your five tasks are?"
Seeing that John Wick was unwilling to say it directly, the elder became even more interested.
The more a secret cannot be told, the more valuable it is.
"There's no rush for the mission. It will take you the rest of your life to complete it. There's nothing important right now. If there is, tell me its secret."
John Wick took a deep breath and then slowly said:
"If you must know, I hope you won't regret it then."
"This one is a three-star dragon ball. There are seven such treasures in total, and together they are called the seven dragon balls."
"Depending on the number of stars inside, there are one planet, two planets... seven planets."
"And by gathering all seven dragon balls, you can summon a dragon!"
