Chapter 241
[Wesley Gibson was still shocked by the truth. John Wick told the truth about Marcus and how The Fraternity betrayed Marcus].
"Marcus wants to live a peaceful life, but The Fraternity does not, so they try to kill him."
"The Fraternity tried to kill you, Wesley, but your father did his best to protect you."
[Wesley looked out the window and realized that this house, his father's house, was only next door to his house. Meaning Marcus actually lived near him].
"Your father wants you to have a peaceful life."
"I can't... Not after this."
[Wesley stared at the bearded man. His time in the Fraternity had been short, but he knew this bearded man was strong].
"I want revenge. Sloan deserves to die."
"I know you will say that."
[John Wick sighed. He had expected this outcome. Wesley was already tainted by the hidden side of the world and it was impossible for him to leave.]
[Marcus saved John Wick the last time, and he had to do his part. John Wick has already had a conversation with Marcus. Marcus told him that the Fraternity was acting strangely and he asked John Wick for a favor.]
"I contacted some people who work for the High Table. Apparently, they were unaware that the Fraternity had groomed some members and infiltrated the CIA, specifically the Treadstone. The High Table wants to keep their status, but The Fraternity has compromised them."
[This was the reason why The Fraternity was adamant in killing everyone related to the Treadstone.]
"I know I can't stop you, but I want you to calm down and think clearly. It's not that easy to destroy the Fraternity."
"My decision will not change."
"Then... You should wait a few days. I know someone who can help us."
"Us?"
"That's right. Marcus is my friend, and he saved my life. I'm going to return the favor. It looks like the High Table will not interfere after what the Fraternity did."
[John Wick tosses a gold coin to Wesley and the young man catches it].
"Use this to collect explosives. You know where to find rats, right?"
"I know where to find them."
...

[A few months later, the stuff about the Fraternity started to disappear. Just like John Wick said, the High Table excommunicated the Fraternity and ended all business with them.]
[A young office worker searched for his name and the incident about the Metropolitan Building and the textile factory.]
"Wesley, you thought it was over? Are you still trying to find out who you are?"
[Sloan pointed his gun at the clerk. The office worker turned and showed his face. It was not Wesley. Sloan realized he had walked into a trap. He looked down and found that he was stepping on an X-mark. The office worker was just a decoy].
"Oh fuck..."
[The bullet traveled out of the house, hit his friend's beer can, went through the hole of the donut Wesley's fat boss was about to eat, and reached Sloan's skull.]
[Wesley looked into the horizon and said.]
"What the fuck have you been doing lately?"
...
...
...
"Woohoo!!"
The applause from the audience was endless as the credits rolled. Everyone gave a standing ovation, cheering and supporting the movie.
"... Damn."
Even Harrison Ford cursed under his breath and clapped his hands. He realized that the movie was very entertaining. He had a disguise to make sure that no one would recognize him. He was interested in the movie and curious how the performance would be.
In the middle of the movie, Harrison Ford could not stop thinking about what-ifs.
'What if I had lowered my salary and agreed to sign a trilogy and several cameos? What if I had gotten the part of John Wick?'
The enthusiasm around him was overwhelming, and the veteran could not contemplate the future he would never see.

[Three chapters today just to finish this summary. Yeah, I agree with you guys, the summary is pretty long. This will be the first and last time I'll do this. I'm going to make a poll in the morning about the future projects Kazir will do. I want Kazir to try a different genre and I'm curious about your opinion about it].
[Edit: The Poll already ended a few months ago, the next movie is... no spoiler.]
