There is one day left until the meeting.
Hell's Kitchen, across from Good Luck Restaurant.
Natasha and Hawkeye, under the orders of Black Egg, were monitoring Chen Ye's every move. The chain reaction caused by this recent meeting was far greater than Chen Ye himself had anticipated.
"Recently, I heard Hell's Kitchen has been quite lively, with many people coming," Natasha said with emotion.
"Isn't that right? The Hand, our S.H.I.E.L.D. S.T.R.I.K.E. team's Crossbones, and even the Brotherhood of Mutants have come to Hell's Kitchen," Hawkeye echoed. Indeed, a large number of people marked by S.H.I.E.L.D. as uncontrollable have arrived in Hell's Kitchen.
"This Chen Ye really has strength. A single meeting can stir up so many forces. Thanks to him, we haven't slept for days, working 24/7. Our skin has even gotten worse."
Natasha looked resentfully in the direction of the Good Luck Restaurant across the street. Natasha hadn't had a good rest for days due to the commotion Chen Ye caused, while Chen Ye across the street had been sleeping soundly, making her feel very unbalanced.
"This time, I feel Chen Ye is in grave danger. Even if he is a Mutant, he is no match for someone as renowned as Magneto. Magneto is an existence capable of destroying nations."
"I don't know who could possibly persuade someone like Magneto to come, but if Chen Ye and Kingpin die, Hell's Kitchen will fall into chaos again," Hawkeye said worriedly.
"Yes, the Federal Government has never managed this place. If it weren't for Kingpin, it would be much more chaotic than it is now. Ever since Chen Ye returned, the residents of Hell's Kitchen have finally started to live better lives," Natasha said, looking at the happy smiles on the faces of the surrounding residents.
"Chen Ye can be considered the savior of Hell's Kitchen. I hope he can survive this struggle," Natasha looked across with a complex expression, perhaps having had a childhood similar to Hell's Kitchen herself, and wishing someone could save her.
Unfortunately, that never happened. Now, this place finally has a savior, but he is being targeted by multiple parties. Knowing this would put him in danger, he still did it without hesitation. Chen Ye, what kind of person are you?
...
On the other side, Chen Ye was unaware of Natasha's dramatic internal monologue. At this moment, he was in the back kitchen cooking, preparing to entertain his good friend, First Penggelei.
"You're quite handsome, young man, second only to me," Deadpool said narcissistically, looking at First Penggelei, then taking out a mirror to look at his own face.
Even First Penggelei, someone who had experienced great storms, couldn't help but twitch his mouth when he saw such a narcissistic Deadpool.
"Uh, thank you for the compliment."
"I never thought the dignified leader of the Vongola Family would be Chen Ye's good friend. Did you meet at an orphanage?" Deadpool asked curiously, because in his impression, he had never seen First Penggelei, only heard that he was one of the gang leaders in Midtown.
"Hahaha, yes, we were good friends from the orphanage. We've kept in touch by phone ever since, and he would occasionally visit me. It's just that our gang has been very busy expanding this past year, so we haven't met. The meeting is tomorrow, so I came to freeload a meal and stay here to go together," First Penggelei explained.
Just as First Penggelei was about to buckle under Deadpool's barrage of questions, Chen Ye came out carrying a plate of braised pork.
First Penggelei's eyes immediately lit up, as if he had seen a savior, and he quickly ran over and said, "The food's ready, right? I'll go get the rice."
"Hey, it's fine. You just sit and chat, I'll go get it," Chen Ye refused.
"No, I'll do it, I'll do it." First Penggelei hadn't finished speaking before he quickly ran to the back kitchen.
A few minutes later, everyone quickly sat down and started eating.
"Why did you have time to come today? It's not because you're worried about me, is it?" Chen Ye joked teasingly. After all, Chen Ye and First Penggelei hadn't seen each other for a year. Today, he unexpectedly came to see him.
"Can't I just come for a free meal? The family has just stabilized, so I came to see my close friend," First Penggelei said, picking up a chicken wing.
"Alright, don't I know your personality? You don't think those gangs can really do anything to me, do you?" Chen Ye said indifferently, scooping a bowl of soup.
Seeing Chen Ye's indifferent attitude, First Penggelei knew that Chen Ye was unaware of the internal gang meeting, so he put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "You might not know, but a few days ago, the gangs held an internal meeting, all discussing your school and how to deal with you."
"I know, that's normal. If they compromised so easily, they wouldn't be gangs. But a group of ants gathered together are still ants; their essence won't change. Gathering together actually makes them easier to deal with."
Chen Ye was not surprised after hearing this; it was all within his expectations.
"They also found The Hand and the Federal Government," First Penggelei added.
At this point, Chen Ye became slightly more serious: "The Hand, huh? The Federal Government side is still alright."
Chen Ye began to eat and ponder countermeasures after hearing this.
First Penggelei, seeing Chen Ye taking it seriously, stopped talking and buried himself in his food. You know, Chen Ye's cooking is really delicious. Next time, I'll have to bring G and the others to freeload a meal. What garbage do we usually eat?
Chen Ye was not surprised to hear the name The Hand. After all, The Hand is basically one of the beginner bosses for every transmigrator to Marvel, merely a few people expelled from K'un-Lun. Since Chen Ye messed up their drug business, it was understandable that they would want to kill him.
However, he should remind Kingpin that in one version, Kingpin's wife, Vanessa, was poisoned by Madame Gao. If Madame Gao really succeeded, Chen Ye estimated Kingpin would go crazy, and Chen Ye himself wouldn't forgive himself. After all, it was because of him that Kingpin got into unnecessary trouble. Chen Ye didn't know that even without him, Madame Gao had long been dissatisfied with Kingpin and wanted to eliminate him.
Chen Ye then took out his phone and called Kingpin, telling him that Hell's Kitchen was not peaceful lately and to protect his wife and child. He also stated that if it was absolutely necessary, to bring them to the apartment, where someone would protect her.
After reminding Kingpin, Chen Ye immediately dialed a second number.
The next second, a voice came from the phone: "This is the High Table Information Center."
Chen Ye slowly began, "I want to issue a combined bounty notice across the U.S.!"
That's right, this was the first time Chen Ye used the authority of the High Table since becoming an Elder Gao Zhuohui.
