They killed his puppy and stole his car...an incredibly wrong idea, when the subject is John Wick AKA The Baba Yaga or title character. Keanu Reeves plays the hard-hitting hit-man who retired only to be pulled back in this revenge tale. Guns aplenty, martial arts and tough-as-nails gritty action as only Wick can deliver it.

Suggested correction: Actually 14.
It's possible he simply miscounted in the heat of the moment. I'm not saying you're wrong was John doesn't seem like the type to make this sort of mistake but it could be let off as a character mistake rather than a movie mistake.
A character mistake is a valid movie mistake and this entry is listed as such.
Viggo Tarasov: I heard you struck my son.
Aureilo: Yes, sir, I did.
Viggo Tarasov: And may I ask why?
Aureilo: Yeah, well, because he stole John Wick's car, sir, and, uh, killed his dog.
Viggo Tarasov: Oh.
Trivia: Chad Stahelski, the director of the John Wick films, had worked as Keanu Reeves' stunt double for 15 years prior to his directorial debut on this film.
Question: In response to the answer for the Cardinal Rule question, wouldn't the cancellation of the contract by Viggo due to John's threat void that agreement (Marcus' acceptance of the contract)?
Answer: No. Regardless of any cancellation that Viggo made after-the-fact, the "Cardinal Rule" still applies to Marcus. He accepted the contract, he was contractually-obligated to kill John Wick, and he failed to kill John Wick. Marcus broke his word, essentially, which was an inexcusable violation.
