Paris, beneath the Eiffel Tower.
At this moment, the area was in disarray, with the air thick with the smell of gunpowder and blood, and the ground covered in craters and shattered stones.
The bodies of assassins were scattered everywhere, all indicating that a major battle had just taken place here.
On one side, John Wick and Master Ye had finished dealing with their assassins and were walking towards Chen Ye.
The two walked forward and only saw the Marquis's body and Chen Ye standing by, his face full of solemnity.
Then Master Ye said with a smile, "Thank you, Chen. Thank you for saving my daughter and for taking down the Marquis. The matter is finally over. Let's go, I'll treat you to noodles."
Chen Ye listened and said heavily, "The matter is not over yet. Before he died, the Marquis launched a great mushroom, targeting the city of Paris. He wants the entire city to be buried with him."
Madman!!
John Wick and Master Ye's first reaction upon hearing what Chen Ye said was that a madman had popped into their minds.
He actually wanted the people of the entire city to be buried with him.
"Is there a way to stop it?" John Wick still asked expressionlessly.
Chen Ye was very relieved to hear John Wick's words. Their first reaction was not to run away, and even though they were ruthless assassins, they would not involve innocent people in this matter.
Chen Ye liked to make friends, but he also had his own bottom line. First, he certainly did not want friends to betray him, and second, he disliked wantonly killing innocent people. After all, in his previous World, Chen Ye was also an ordinary person. Ordinary people had already tried their best to live, and in this World full of Super Heroes, it was even more difficult.
Perhaps after a day of work, the car he bought with painstaking loans might be destroyed by the aftermath of a Super Hero, or he might be walking on the street and be killed by aliens or something.
So if possible, Chen Ye really did not want to involve innocent people, and it was clear that the Marquis had already touched his bottom line.

French Government
"Report, French leader, a great mushroom will strike the capital in ten minutes." An officer in Military uniform rushed into the French leader's office and reported.
"What?" The French leader immediately stood up after hearing this, and then gave orders.
"Who is it? Are they going to start the Fourth World War? Immediately begin evacuation and see if the secret intelligence agency has a way to intercept this great mushroom."
"French leader, it's no longer safe here, please evacuate quickly," said the officer in Military uniform.
Then another Agent leader walked in,
"French leader, it has been found that this great mushroom came from Marquis Vincent de Gramont of the Paris High Table. As for the source, it has not yet been clarified. We are currently working on preventing this great mushroom from entering the urban area. Once it enters the urban area, half the city will be destroyed."
"It's too late to notify citizens to evacuate now. The Military has already organized a suicide air force to try to detonate the great mushroom in the sky."
"French leader, the situation is urgent, please evacuate immediately."
"Immediately tell the Military to go and greet the High Table. What do they want?" the French leader said angrily.
At this moment, S.H.I.E.L.D., the CIA, S.H.I.E.L.D., and the Federal Security Bureau all began to operate, trying to understand what was happening.
.....
Desert near Casablanca, High Table Headquarters.
"What does the Marquis want to do? First, he killed the messenger representing the High Table, and then he used a great mushroom. Does he want to destroy our High Table?!" An Elder of the High Table on the screen said furiously.
"The most urgent task is to first remove the Marquis from the High Table. We will announce that he betrayed us and is no longer a member of the High Table. Then we must find a way to deal with this great mushroom. If we don't resolve this great mushroom, we will all be finished," Elder Makutum calmly proposed a solution.
At this time, an Elder of the Hongmen asked, "Is Kingpin's godson at the scene right now? Doesn't he have superpowers? See if he has the ability to solve it. If he can solve it, everyone in our High Table owes him a favor."
The Elders on the screen were silent after hearing this, seemingly tacitly agreeing to the Hongmen Elder's suggestion.
Elder Makutum remained silent, as if there was no better way at the moment.
He picked up his phone and dialed the Chen Ye's phone number Kingpin had given him.
"Mr. Chen Ye, I am Elder Makutum of the High Table. the great mushroom will explode in the city where you are in nine minutes. I wonder if you can solve the current situation?" Makutum said directly.
"Hello, Elder Makutum, I am also trying to find a solution, but don't worry, I have no problem surviving myself. However, asking me to solve it is a bit too much to ask," Chen Ye said on the other end of the phone.
"In that case, as long as you can help the High Table solve this big problem, all members of our High Table will owe you a favor," Elder Makutum also stated his condition.
"Don't worry, even without your request, I will do my best to stop the great mushroom. I don't want so many innocent citizens to lose their lives. That's all," Chen Ye quickly hung up the phone.
Then Chen Ye kept thinking of ways in his mind. Chaos Magic wouldn't work. First, it was too large, and second, Chen Ye's mana bar was not enough for him to manipulate the great mushroom to a certain height. High-speed movement also couldn't save the people of the entire city, and even if it could, the impact of the explosion would be huge. It was also not something Chen Ye could bear.
At this time, Chen Ye only hated himself for not being strong enough. Since the mystical method didn't work, what about the scientific method, science....
Chen Ye had a flash of inspiration. Didn't I have a man cursed with knowledge?
He quickly picked up his phone to contact Tony Stark.
"Yo, isn't this Mr. Chen Ye of our Hell's Kitchen? You've been very popular in the underworld recently. The fireworks in Hell's Kitchen a few days ago were set off by you, right? So, have you found the mastermind?" Tony Stark teased Chen Ye, completely unaware of the situation.
"Long story short, I'll tell you about the mastermind in a few days. For now, help me with something. In less than ten minutes, a great mushroom will explode in downtown Paris, and I'm also in Paris. If you want to know the mastermind, quickly think of a way to stop this great mushroom," Chen Ye quickly stated his purpose.
Tony Stark on the other end of the phone also understood the seriousness of the situation and quickly pulled up the screen: "Jarvis, check for me the great mushroom flying towards Paris."
Many pieces of information about the great mushroom quickly popped up in front of Tony Stark.
"How is it? Can you solve it? Time is tight, and the task is heavy," Chen Ye asked.
"It might be a bit difficult for others, but for a genius like me, it's a piece of cake. There are only two ways: either the great mushroom doesn't explode, or it explodes somewhere else."
Tony Stark paused: "Actually, someone in the government should also know the method, but the procedure to crack the great mushroom is quite difficult, and time is a bit tight. If they had more time, they could also handle it."
"So can you actually handle it or not?" Chen Ye interrupted the talkative Tony.
"Shut up, don't doubt me, I'm already cracking it, it needs some time," Tony replied to Chen Ye while typing code to crack it.
Time passed minute by minute, just one minute before the great mushroom arrived,
"Done, I set it to fly and explode over the Pacific Ocean, where there will be no one within a hundred kilometers," Tony Stark finished setting the last program.
.....
"French leader, someone has changed the direction of the great mushroom. Now the great mushroom is flying towards the Pacific Ocean. Paris is safe." The French leader breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the voice on the other end of the phone.
"Connect me to the High Table. I want to talk to their person in charge," the French leader then ordered angrily.
