Fifty Percent Certainty

After assigning tasks to everyone, Charlotte looked at the sky outside the window and sighed, "The times are changing!"

Then, Charlotte Doyle opened the system interface and completed today's sign-in.

After clicking the 'X', Charlotte exited the system interface and began to ponder how to gain the greatest benefit from this rescue operation for John Wick.

Meanwhile.

The originally clear sky was suddenly covered by dark clouds, resembling an approaching storm.

At this moment, John Wick had just left the park. Supporting his injured body, he brought his beloved dog to the bustling street. He saw many assassins staring at him with greedy eyes.

John glanced at the time in his hand. The excommunication would take effect at 6 o'clock. He had one hour left.

Thinking of the note in his pocket and Winston's advice, John Wick knew where he needed to go.

However, out of caution, he planned to visit the New York Road Library to retrieve the Gold Coins he had hidden there, as well as another item that could help him escape.

"The Rothman's pass!"

He couldn't rely solely on the Charlotte Agency as his only fallback. After all, a bounty of $14,000,000 was no small sum.

At this moment, it suddenly started to rain heavily.

John Wick hailed a taxi on the road and said, "Take me to the New York Road Library."

The driver looked back and replied, "No problem."

The Car drove off quickly, but before they had gone far, traffic congestion caused by the heavy rain brought the vehicle to a halt.

Listening to the honking of numerous cars ahead, John Wick grew anxious. He knew his time was running out. Once the time was up, anyone could be his enemy.

John Wick rolled up his sleeves, checked the time, and then took out a Gold Coin issued by The Continental Hotel from his pocket. He handed it to the driver ahead and said, "Plans have changed."

Hearing the voice, the driver turned around and looked at the Gold Coin in John Wick's hand before taking it.

"Take me to The Continental Hotel. Can you give this to the front desk?"

As John Wick spoke, he glanced at his beloved dog sitting beside him.

The driver looked at John and nodded, "Alright, Mr. Wick."

Clearly, this taxi driver also recognized the infamous Night Demon.

John Wick patted his beloved dog a few times, murmuring, "Good boy, good boy."

Then, he opened the car door, got out of the taxi, and ran towards the library with all his might.

At this moment, countless eyes on the street were fixed on John Wick. Thinking they could only make a move on him in an hour, everyone calmed down. After all, the time hadn't come yet, and they had to abide by the rules of The Continental Hotel before then.

Soon, John Wick, braving the heavy rain, ran to the New York Road Library.

He ran straight to the library's service desk and immediately said to the staff, "The author of 'Russian Folk Tales' is Alexander Afanasyev, 1864."

Looking at the librarian who was searching for the book's location, John Wick checked the time again, confirming that the hour had not yet arrived.

The librarian handed John Wick a note and said, "It's on the second floor."

"Thank you!"

Taking the note, John Wick quickly ran to the second floor.

Meanwhile, Charon drove Winston back to The Continental Hotel.

After entering the hotel, Charon said to Winston, "I really hope Mr. Wick can escape safely."

Winston adjusted his collar as he walked and said, "Charon, he knowingly broke the rules and killed someone in the hotel."

Charon followed beside Winston and asked, "Do you think he can escape?"

Winston turned to look at Charon and said, "He has a bounty of 14 million US dollars on his head. All the assassins in the city want a piece of the pie."

"I think his chances of escaping are only fifty-fifty, provided he can find Charlotte Doyle and get his help."

Charon asked doubtfully, "Fifty-fifty?"

In his understanding, Charlotte, who had established his authority outside The Continental Hotel a few days ago, was now someone many assassins dared not provoke. If he were willing to intervene, John Wick's chances of escape should be a hundred percent.

Winston chuckled, "Fifty-fifty. Charlotte could kill John with one strike and claim the bounty. Fifty-fifty. Charlotte could help John escape."

"After all, John Wick himself is now worthless. It's a choice between the promise of the Blood Pact Badge and 14 million US dollars."

"It all depends on Charlotte Doyle's own choice."

After saying this, Winston walked upstairs.

At this moment, Charon stared blankly at the departing Winston, frozen in place.

John Wick, holding the note, soon arrived at the book storage location on the second floor.

He took out the book, tore off the sticker, and found a photograph of his deceased wife, five gold coins, a pass, and other items inside.

He placed the photograph on the bookshelf, then took out the gold coins and kicked them into his pocket, before putting the pass and other items into his pocket as well.

Finally, John Wick picked up the photograph of his deceased wife, took a deep look at it, kissed the photograph, and sealed it back into the book.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from beside his ear: "Think about why God created you."

Accompanied by footsteps, the voice spoke again: "Not for you to live like an animal, but for you to pursue virtue and knowledge."

At this moment, a giant over two meters tall walked out, holding a book in his hand, and said to John: "Dante!"

After speaking, he showed the cover of the book to John Wick, indicating that these were the words from the book, and then placed the book on the bookshelf.

John Wick also returned the book in his hand to the bookshelf.

Looking at John Wick before him, the giant said: "You look a bit weak, John."

John Wick looked at the giant before him and said, "Ernest, it's not time yet."

Ernest said impolitely at this moment: "It's almost time."

"Who would know when you died?"

John Wick's expression became serious, and he said: "Are you sure you want to do this?"

Ernest tilted his head back, greed in his eyes: "14 million, that's a lot of money."

"NO, first you have to be alive to spend it."

Ernest no longer hesitated, directly took out a short sword from his embrace and stabbed it towards John Wick.

John casually picked up a book from the bookshelf and blocked it.

The two quickly engaged in a fight.
