Fox was shocked to hear Smith's words. It could be said that many things happened that day that she could not understand.
"Quick, let me try the combat power detector you mentioned."
"Is this thing really so magical?"
"Let's see how strong I am first."
Smith turned and looked at Fox beside him, and soon a combat power value of 6 appeared on the screen.
Smith was not surprised at all when he saw this number. Although Fox was stronger than John Wick, she was more skilled with firearms. If judged purely by energy, the difference wouldn't be that significant.
"Six."
Hearing this single digit, Fox was stunned for a moment and asked uncertainly, "Is that high or low?"
Smith thought for a moment and then said, "It's a point or two higher than the average person."
"Compare it yourself."
As he spoke, Smith took off the combat power detector and placed it in Fox's hands.
Fox took the combat power detector, put it on, and then looked at Smith Doyle in front of her.
She saw the numbers on the lens begin to jump and soon fixed on a value.
"9 points! Smith, your combat power is 9 points!"
"That's 1.5 times mine!"
"Let me see the fighting power of the others."
Fox then turned her gaze towards the battle in the chapel, and the instrument scanned, revealing human figures and their combat power.
"Five."
"This one is also five."
"Oh my god, there's a three."
"John Wick also has 6 points? How is that possible?"
"I don't think it would be difficult for me to kill him."
After Fox tried it, she took off the combat power detector and returned it to Smith.
After Smith put it on again, he explained, "This combat power detector primarily detects a person's biological energy."
"The higher the bio-energy, the higher the combat power. If the value exceeds 1.3 times that of the opponent, a crushing victory is likely."
"As for why you think it wouldn't be difficult to defeat John Wick, that's because of the combat skills taught by our Assassin Fraternity. Those skills aren't reflected in these numbers."
After hearing Smith's words, Fox understood the basis for the combat power detector's judgment.
Just as Fox was marveling at the usefulness of this thing, John Wick's battle concluded. At that moment, two women ran out of the church, and soon, smoke began to billow out.
"Smith, John seems to have set a fire. This time Viggo suffered heavy losses."
Smith nodded. Neither he nor Fox was interested in the burned cash, antiques, artworks, or the evidence of Viggo Tarasov's collusion with government officials.
In their sight, John Wick also walked out, but he didn't leave. Instead, he chose an ambush location.
Seeing John Wick's actions, Fox said, "You know what? I'm starting to admire this guy. His professionalism is really impressive."
John Wick hid in an abandoned container outside the church, unaware of Smith and Fox hiding on the rooftop not far away.
Soon, Viggo received a call from the survivors in the church. He drove there with his men, entered the basement to check the damage, and then walked out in a rage. He immediately shot and killed the priest who had opened the vault door for John Wick.
"Damn it! It was all burned to ashes!"
Viggo cursed, then turned to ask the consultant and part-time lawyer beside him, "Is there anything we can do to remedy this?"
The consultant shook his head and said, "Viggo, you know what was in the basement, right?"
"That money is nothing compared to the rest."
Viggo was infuriated by John Wick's actions.
At this time, John Wick, hiding in the dark, emerged. He was holding a Coharie Arms CA-415 assault rifle and started shooting at Viggo's men.
Tap! Tap!
The sound of the assault rifle echoed. Viggo turned his head to see one of his men shot and fall to the ground.
He knew it was John Wick coming for him, so he immediately squatted down, taking cover behind a car.
"Fuck it! Fight back!"
The men accompanying him immediately drew their guns and started firing at John Wick. Wick also used the surrounding cars as cover, firing back intermittently.
Unfortunately, Viggo's men were all masters of outlining the human body with bullets; their lack of accuracy meant they couldn't harm John Wick, and instead, many of them were shot dead.
Fox held her telescope, watching the gunfight below, and commented, "These gang members are terrible shots. They're just wasting bullets and getting themselves killed."
Smith nodded in approval. "John Wick is a retired Marine Corps soldier, and he earned the nickname Baba Yaga at the Continental Hotel. If he didn't have formidable abilities, he wouldn't be alive today."
"But speaking of which," Smith continued, "John Wick was loyal to the Russian gang Viggo belonged to before he retired."
"He completed an impossible task to earn his retirement."
"And Viggo ended up letting his own son screw things up like this... tsk... tsk... tsk..."
While the two were talking, John Wick had already killed eight of Viggo's men. However, his luck ran out when he was hit by a car driven by one of Viggo's confidants.
Bump!
John Wick was sent flying by the impact but didn't die, merely falling unconscious.
Fox saw the scene unfold and said, "Smith, the subject you selected is about to die."
Smith smiled. "Don't worry, he won't die."
As the gunfire stopped, Viggo had his men tie up John Wick and take him to a warehouse for a "talk." Fox was somewhat speechless seeing this.
"Viggo is crazy. He didn't even kill John right away."
Smith looked at Fox. "When you encounter an enemy, you must shoot them until they're dead, even if they're unconscious."
"Talking too much nonsense gives the enemy a chance to turn the tables."
One wonders how Viggo would feel if he knew that his unnecessary actions would ultimately cost him not only his own life but also his son's.
Smith and Fox followed Viggo and the others, hiding outside a window above the warehouse. With Smith's skills, he carried Fox without making a sound.
Inside, Viggo Tarasov ordered his men to tie John Wick to a chair and remove all his weapons. They also found the Dragon Ball on John's body.
Viggo picked up the Dragon Ball, glanced at it, and scoffed, "What is this, a children's toy?"
He casually tossed it onto the pile of weapons found on John Wick, which included three daggers, four pistols, and two grenades.
When Viggo touched the Dragon Ball, Smith did not transmit its function or significance to him, so Viggo had no idea what he had just discarded.
Seeing John slowly waking up, Viggo said, "John, let me put it this way: my men are definitely going to cut you into pieces."
At this time, Viggo's men placed a chair opposite John. Viggo walked forward and began his long speech.
