After the wedding ceremony, everyone moved to the outdoor banquet area.
Various exquisite foods were already prepared for the guests to enjoy.
At this time, John, with his newlywed wife Helen, also found Rhodey and Wanda.
"What were you looking at just now, kid?"
John immediately playfully punched Rhodey and glared at him, saying.
"I thought there'd be a wedding crash or something, but nothing happened. A bit disappointing!"
Rhodey said with a laugh, joking.
John looked as if he was about to hit him.
"Helen, you look so beautiful today!"
Wanda pulled Helen, praising how beautiful she looked today.
"Not at all, Wanda, you're much prettier than me!"
Helen laughed happily; it was clear that she was very pleased to be praised.
The four chatted for a while;
Rhodey noticed John's gaze suddenly change, and he stared intently in one direction.
Rhodey also glanced over and saw a retreating back.
"What's wrong?"
He asked.
"An old colleague."
John said.
"Do you need to handle it?"
Rhodey asked.
For a retired assassin, nothing is more troublesome than a former colleague showing up.
Not to mention,
It was at the wedding.
"No need, I'll talk to him tomorrow."
John declined Rhodey's kind offer, and as for what he meant by "talk," whether it was simply with words or something else, that remained unknown.
However,
The formidable Night Demon, John Wick, certainly didn't need help with such matters.
"By the way, is that guy also your friend?"
Rhodey pointed to a tall, burly man not far away.
"Come, let me introduce you."
John led Rhodey over.
"Luke!"
He called out, and the muscular man, as strong as an ox, turned to look.
"John, congratulations!"
He laughed heartily and stepped forward to embrace John.
Then his gaze fell on Rhodey.
"Rhodey?"
"Hobbs, long time no see." Rhodey smiled faintly and greeted him.
Luke Hobbs, leader of the FBI's Special Operations Group, specializing in handling extremely difficult tasks for the U.S. government, was also a character from a movie series Rhodey watched in his previous life.
The difference, however, was that here, this guy had another identity that few people knew about.
This guy was an Inhuman!
Rhodey had known him for three or four years.
At that time, Rhodey was on an assassination mission, and Hobbs was a partner of the target.
Of course!
That was a fake identity.
In reality, he was an FBI agent, sent to get close to the other party to obtain a certain document.
Then Rhodey killed that guy, almost causing Hobbs's mission to fail!
At that time, Rhodey only had a very weak rapid self-healing ability and was almost caught and beaten up by this big guy, fortunately he ran fast enough.
However, after that, the two only met once, when Hobbs sought out Rhodey.
He mainly came to warn him a few words.
There was no physical conflict.
He didn't expect to meet again at John Wick's wedding.
And this guy was even John Wick's good friend?
"Do you know this guy's identity?"
Rhodey asked John.
Upon hearing this,
John nodded, looking at Hobbs and saying, "Don't worry, I wouldn't be foolish enough to make friends with an FBI agent; this guy has already retired."
So that's how it is?
Rhodey nodded, then looked at Hobbs in front of him.
"Congratulations, it's not easy to retire alive."
Rhodey said.
Hobbs reached out to shake his hand, applying pressure.
"You too."
Rhodey felt nothing in his hand; Hobbs's strength had been easily absorbed by him, but seeing Hobbs's strenuous effort, Rhodey knew that this guy was still holding a grudge.
Wasn't it just accidentally ruining this guy's mission once?
Was it worth holding a grudge for so long?
"Ahem~!"
At this moment, John also lightly coughed twice, reminding them that they had said enough.
"It looks like you've been consistently working out these past two years."
Hobbs released his hand, saying to Rhodey with some surprise.
"You're not bad either; you're not just all dead muscle."
Rhodey responded.
Seeing the two of them in a confrontational stance, John was speechless.
He didn't expect these two guys to know each other, and their relationship seemed rather poor.
"Alright, give me some face, at least don't start fighting now."
John said.
"John, what are you talking about?" Rhodey said with a surprised expression, "Today is your wedding day, how could I possibly disrespect you!"
"Besides, did we say we were going to fight?"
He smiled and patted Hobbs's firm arm.
The latter also laughed heartily, as if to say, "John, you're overthinking it."
"Alright, I know you two."
John rolled his eyes and said.
He completely disbelieved their nonsense.
