Shimazu walked through the kitchen and came to the rooftop balcony. He said to the two sumo wrestlers guarding there:

"Stay here and don't let anyone in."

The two sumo wrestlers nodded in agreement, and Shimazu pushed open the door and walked in.

Shimazu came to the rooftop terrace where there was an outdoor dining table. Looking at the man in front of him with a blue cat hydrogen balloon floating next to him, he said,

"You've really changed a lot. You actually like this toy."

"I thought you would find peace, but it seems that the result is not what you expected."

John Wick turned and looked at Shimazu, but did not speak.

Shimazu made a gesture of invitation towards the table, and continued:

"The High Table judged the person in charge of the Continental Hotel in New York, just because he helped you."

"My daughter is worried that we will be the next to suffer."

John Wick spoke up,

"I'm sorry about Winston. I will avenge him."

John Wick walked to the dining table and sat down. Shimazu picked up the teapot and poured a cup for each of them, then asked,

"Have you ever thought about how this will end?"

John Wick looked up at Shimazu, wondering whether he should tell him about the recent achievements of the League of Assassins.

At this time, Shimazu continued:

"The high table never stops."

"You know, it just takes life and brings death."

John Wick took a sip of his teacup and said,

"I will kill them all."

Shimazu Koji smiled and said:

"I'm sure you'll give it your all, but no one can kill them all."

"Even you."

Then he continued:

"Do you want to die?"

"It's your choice. Only by living with dignity can you die with honor."

John Wick began:

"We have left our respectable days behind us, my friend."

Shimazu was silent for a moment, then picked up the teacup and took a sip.

John Wick thought for a moment and said:

"Koji, I'm sorry to bother you like this."

Shimazu Koji said nonchalantly,

"A friend in need is a friend indeed."

John Wick looked at Shimazu and said,

"I need to take something from you."

"In exchange, I will give you a satisfactory reason."

Hearing this, Shimazu Koji asked curiously:

"What?"

John Wick took out the four-star ball from the lining pocket of his suit, and then said,

"I know you have something similar in your hand, with five stars in it, and I need it."

Seeing what John Wick was holding, Shimazu Koji was not surprised at all. He reached out and took out a five-star ball from his arms and placed it in front of John Wick, and said,

"When I heard that you and the people from Camorra were looking for this thing, I guessed that you would come here."

"If you need it, take it."

Seeing Shimazu Koji so happy, John Wick didn't hesitate to take it directly, and then said,

"Thank you, Koji."

John Wick then said:

"If you want your daughter to be safe, I can recommend a place for you."

Shimazu Koji was puzzled and said,

"With our status, is there any truly safe place in the world?"

John Wick said,

"I joined the Assassin's League. Recently, they completely wiped out the three elders of the High Table and the forces behind them."

"The Camorra, the Marquis de Gramont, the elder of Casablanca."

Upon hearing this news, Shimazu Koji was completely shocked and asked in disbelief,

"How... How is this possible?"

"And what kind of force is the Assassin's League? I've never heard of it."

"The only force I've heard of that can resist the High Table is the Hand."

When John Wick heard that Shimazu Koji had never heard of the League of Assassins, he knew that the Continental Hotel in Daejeon was not as powerful as the Continental Hotel in New York.

"You can ask someone to contact these three companies now, and you will soon understand that the other party has completely lost contact."

Shimazu Koji waved to the man guarding the door, who immediately ran over and whispered a few words in his ear.

John Wick watched Shimazu's men leave, and then began to introduce the Assassin's League.

"What? This organization has existed for more than a thousand years."

"We've had conflicts with the high table before, and now we've set our sights on the high table again."

"Oh my god, there is such an organization. It's incredible."

Shimazu Koji was shocked, and at the same time full of admiration for the Assassin's League and their leader.

"Jonathan, you want my daughter to go over there."

"Do you think the Assassin's League is strong enough to completely defeat the High Table?"

John Wick did not answer the question directly, but asked:

"What do you think of my strength?"

Shimazu Koji thought for a moment and then said:

"Very strong. You are probably the strongest killer I know."

"Even if there are a few people I think are capable of competing with you, I believe you will win in a life-and-death battle."

Seeing that Shimazu Koji recognized his strength, John Wick began to say:

"My strength is not even ranked in the Assassin's League."

"If they want to assassinate me, I may not even see them in person."

In just a few days, John Wick had a great understanding of the strength of the League of Assassins, especially the ultra-long-range sniping and bullets that could turn. Once killed by the sniper, it would be a death sentence.

As for the leader GOD, he is so powerful that it is incomprehensible to John Wick. To say that he is the reincarnation of Captain America is an understatement. After all, Captain America still needs a shield, but their leader can take bullets with his physical body.

Shimazu Koji covered his mouth in surprise, then said,

"What do you want me to do?"

John Wick said,

"The worst option is to send my daughter over there for refuge. I have a few vacancies there and I have told the leader about this."

"If you don't help either side, the High Table will definitely draw forces to fight the Assassin's League. You should stay put."

"The best strategy is to find the right time to turn against the High Table and let the Assassin's League see your attitude."

Hearing John Wick's proposal, Shimazu Koji took a deep breath. He knew that the world would be in complete turmoil from now on.

At this moment, the subordinate who had just left came over and told him that he could not contact Camorra and the Marquis. As for the elders in Casablanca, they were already mysterious, but he learned from the Morocco Continental Hotel that a huge change had indeed taken place.

Shimazu Koji suppressed his fear and said,

"Notify Akira to come up."

Watching his men leave, Shimazu Koji looked at John Wick and said:

"I want to implement both strategies at the same time."

John Wick showed an approving expression on his face and said,

"Koji, believe me, your choice will not be wrong."
