There were three days left until the meeting.
At this time, the bosses of Hell's Kitchen who had received Chen Ye's invitation gathered for a video conference.
"I think this is a trap! Talking about discussing schools in Hell's Kitchen! In reality, it's just forcing us to give up our power!"
"Damn Chen Ye! He's trying to dig up our roots!"
"He says it's for the good of Hell's Kitchen! Then he should get out of Hell's Kitchen! That's the only way it's truly for the good of Hell's Kitchen!"
"Someone from Hell's Kitchen, still wants to be a saint and build schools! Why doesn't he just give us money directly!"
During the meeting, everyone cursed at Chen Ye and Kingpin. They didn't have the courage to insult them face-to-face, so they could only hide online, venting their resentment.
A bunch of Jokers! A bunch of cowards!
Gustav, the leader of the Mexican Gang, was disdainful of the other gang leaders who only dared to curse Chen Ye and Kingpin behind their backs.
"So this conference is just an online cursing session, is that right? If it's just like this, then I'm leaving. I don't have time to play house with you cowards here," Gustav said loudly.
Everyone stopped talking when they heard Gustav mocking them for being cowardly.
Tom, the leader of the Irish Gang, who was listening nearby, felt secretly pleased when he heard Gustav's words. Finally, someone was attracting hatred.
After a long while, someone started to point their gun at Gustav, cursing, "What are you, punk? When I was in the gang, you were still playing in the mud."
"You, a person who got rich by selling drugs, what kind of prestige are you showing off here? Holed up in that poor slum, if you have guts, come out and fight Chen Ye and them with real knives and guns."
"The Marquis of the High Table was killed, can a stinking drug dealer like you beat him?"
"We are discussing countermeasures, so it's no wonder you can only stay in a small slum and can't get out."
Ever since Chen Ye killed the Marquis of the High Table, he had gradually gained some fame. Many of the bosses present knew their place, knowing that they were no match for the Marquis of the High Table. Even the Marquis was killed by Chen Ye, and he took over the High Table's power in New York, so he was not so easy to deal with.
Seeing all these gang leaders mocking him, Gustav suddenly felt an impulse to kill.
"A bunch of cowards, why don't you all hand over your territories to me? Anyway, you don't dare to resist Chen Ye, so pack up your belongings early and get out of Hell's Kitchen to retire. Anyway, I'm not planning to attend this damn meeting. As for the young people in Hell's Kitchen, everyone will rely on their own abilities."
All the bosses were immediately unhappy after hearing Gustav's words.
Someone immediately questioned him: "I ask you, if you refuse Chen Ye at that time, and Chen Ye insists on forcing all the teenagers in Hell's Kitchen to attend school, and he brings people to kill their way into your territory, what will you use to stop them!"
Gustav listened and smiled confidently, "Then I'll call the Police!"
Upon hearing Gustav's answer, the online meeting immediately fell silent. No one spoke, and Gustav even thought the internet was lagging.
Seeing everyone's surprised reaction, Gustav asked strangely, "What, is there a problem with this method?"
Soon, the first laugh appeared in the video conference, and slowly the laughter grew louder.
"You, a drug dealer, going to the Police for help, are you going to surrender? Do you think the Police will arrest you first or Chen Ye first?"
"The rule of Hell's Kitchen has always been that matters in Hell's Kitchen are resolved within Hell's Kitchen. This is an unchangeable rule. I didn't expect that the Gustav family, one of the three major gangs in Hell's Kitchen, would lose the dignity of a gang and let the Police intervene. This is simply a disgrace to our Hell's Kitchen!"
Gustav snorted after hearing this. He disagreed with the old-fashioned ideas of these old fogeys. No wonder they could only stay in Hell's Kitchen their whole lives.
He explained, "Chen Ye is not only a Mutant, but he also has many Mutants under him. Moreover, he doesn't belong to any gang. Besides, which of his current actions isn't changing Hell's Kitchen? He can change it, and we can't? So what's wrong with me calling the Police? Don't forget, he is also an Elder of the High Table, a killer organization, with many killers under him. The Police are eager to arrest these killers and bring them to justice."
Someone else questioned, "So what if you call the Police? With those Police in Hell's Kitchen? They can't even beat us normally, do you expect them to arrest Chen Ye? Don't you know that Chen Ye is the biggest financier of the Hell's Kitchen Police station? Didn't a group of people claiming to be FBI come before and still scurry out of Chen Ye's territory?"
It was clear that these gang leaders knew about Chen Ye's actions a while ago, and they nodded involuntarily.
Gustav continued, "Your ideas are all wrong. The people the government sent last time were just not enough. Chen Ye's threat is much greater than ours. Don't forget, they are Mutants. A group of Mutants slaughtering ordinary people, do you think the government will let such a thing happen?"
Without waiting for others to refute, Gustav immediately continued, "Because no matter who it is, they want to eliminate unstable factors like Chen Ye. Ordinary people will always be the mainstream. Mutants are anomalies in front of the government or the public. As long as they eliminate the anomalies, no matter which law enforcement agency it is, they will become famous in one fell swoop and become national heroes. Chen Ye is a delicious piece of meat in front of these politicians."
"In the face of huge interests, the government and law enforcement agencies are bound to be willing to take this risk. Besides, do you really think that past failures can represent the true strength of the government?"
"That time, they might have just been testing the waters, and the strength they sent was definitely not their true strength. Government agencies must have comprehensively analyzed the abilities of Chen Ye and his group of Mutants during this period, found their weaknesses, or are developing weapons that can counter them."
"In front of such a vast national machine, individual strength is always vulnerable. This is also why Chen Ye didn't kill a single Agent at that time. Because he didn't think he had the ability to resist the entire country."
"Besides, do you think even if we go to the meeting, we can stop Chen Ye's idea this time? The school will still enroll students, and at that time, we will have no fresh blood. If we compromise this time, there will be a next time. In the end, will we even have to give up our own gangs to Chen Ye?"
Gustav's words were well-reasoned and logical, causing all the leaders to fall into deep thought.
