Chapter 227: The Lord of War joins the team! Target: the US market!

In the courtyard.

Guan Shanhai and Johnny Wang sat facing each other.

"You ask what my take is on Black Steel Industrial?"

Johnny Wang sniffed. The moment he heard this question, he recalled the scene where he was looked down upon by Ni Yongyao.

"How long has Black Steel Industrial been established? They've already secured orders from the police force. With Ni Yongyao's appetite, it won't be long before he swallows up the entire Hong Kong weapons market.

When that time comes, do you think there will be any room left for us to survive?"

Johnny Wang said.

After meeting Ni Yongyao, Johnny Wang was even more certain of Ni Yongyao's character; he was definitely not a soft-hearted person.

"What you're saying is also what I'm worried about."

Guan Shanhai sighed and said.

Don't let the fact that Black Steel Industrial is a legal company fool you; they were underground arms dealers. It seemed as if their markets didn't interfere with each other, but the boss of Black Steel Industrial was Ni Yongyao.

Both Guan Shanhai and Johnny Wang knew what kind of person Ni Yongyao was.

This could be seen from the series of actions Ni Yongyao had taken since taking charge of the Ni family.

"There is only one path before you and me now: an alliance."

Johnny Wang said in a deep voice.

Neither of them could stand up to Ni Yongyao alone; only by forming an alliance could they have some possibility of resisting.

"Whatever happened in the past, right or wrong, let's wipe the slate clean. Now our greatest enemy is Ni Yongyao; we can't keep fighting each other."

Johnny Wang said.

Previously, the two were competitors, and conflicts frequently occurred over the arms market, with deaths being a common occurrence.

But now, facing the pressure from Black Steel Industrial, they both realized that if they didn't form an alliance, neither of them would have a good life.

"An alliance is fine, but first return the batch of goods you swallowed from me a month ago."

Guan Shanhai said.

Upon hearing this, Johnny Wang showed no embarrassment and said: "Old Man Guan, that's you being too petty. We are allies now; let's not quibble over that little bit of goods."

A month ago, Johnny Wang had raided Guan Shanhai's warehouse, hauled away all the weapons inside, and made a huge profit by reselling them.

"You want me not to quibble over 20 million worth of goods? Do you think I'm running a charity?"

Guan Shanhai snorted, his expression displeased.

Seeing this, Johnny Wang shrugged and said: "I've already sold the goods, so I can't return them. How about this: I'll compensate you 20 million, and we'll call it even. How about that?"

"That's more like it."

Guan Shanhai nodded, then stood up and reached out his hand to Johnny Wang.

Johnny Wang smiled and reached out his hand as well.

Bang!

Just as the two were about to shake hands and officially form an alliance, a gunshot suddenly rang out.

Falling with the gunshot was the guard at the manor entrance.

Immediately after, a team of armed personnel stormed in. The person in the lead, wearing a well-tailored black suit, was none other than John Wick.

And behind John Wick were twenty elite members of the High Table, protected from head to toe in armor.

Facing such a group, the guards in Guan Shanhai's manor were no match at all; most were shot in the head before they could even draw their guns.

The occasional shots that were fired hit the armor of the High Table elite team to no effect, only producing a few sparks.

In just a few minutes, John Wick had killed his way to Johnny Wang and Guan Shanhai.

Johnny Wang's lackeys were also all shot dead.

"Who are you people?"

Guan Shanhai stared fixedly at John Wick, his expression looking terrible. He never imagined that anyone would dare to storm his manor and start a massacre.

And what shocked Guan Shanhai even more was that his men were like paper, completely unable to stop the attack from John Wick and his team.

"Friends, anything can be discussed; there's no need to resort to weapons."

Johnny Wang forced an awkward smile.

John Wick had no intention of responding to their words and aimed his gun directly at Johnny Wang.

"Wait, whatever you want, just say it..."

Johnny Wang shouted hurriedly.

However, John Wick would not hesitate. With a slight pressure of his finger, he pulled the trigger.

Bang!

After the gunshot, a bloody hole appeared in Johnny Wang's head, and he fell straight to the ground.

Until his death, Johnny Wang didn't know whose man John Wick was, or why he had killed him.

Beside him, Guan Shanhai looked at the dead Johnny Wang, his eyes filled with a trace of fear.

Guan Shanhai was already an old man. Having been an arms dealer for so many years, he had originally planned to retire in a few years and enjoy the rest of his life.

He never expected to encounter something like this.

"Who exactly are you?"

Guan Shanhai asked; he didn't want to die as cluelessly as Johnny Wang.

Regarding Guan Shanhai's confusion, John Wick paid no attention, simply stepping forward to knock Guan Shanhai unconscious, then having others carry him away as the group quickly departed.

One hour later.

Guan Shanhai woke up from his coma.

Looking around, Guan Shanhai found himself in a study, and on a sofa not far away sat a young man with outstanding features and an extraordinary temperament.

"Ni Yongyao!"

Guan Shanhai immediately recognized Ni Yongyao and also understood who had attacked his manor.

"Mr. Guan, you're finally awake."

Ni Yongyao puffed on his cigar and glanced at Guan Shanhai.

"Ni Yongyao, I have no grudges against you; there's no need to be this ruthless, right?"

Guan Shanhai gritted his teeth.

Before this, Guan Shanhai had never had any contact with Ni Yongyao, only seeing news about him on television and in newspapers.

Who would have thought that their first meeting would be in this form?

"Peers are enemies; I think Mr. Guan must have heard that saying."

Ni Yongyao said flatly.

Upon hearing this, Guan Shanhai didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, no matter what, there were no peers who would launch a surprise attack with gunmen without even having met before. ===== CHAPTER 229 =====
