Chen Ye had Pietro stay in the restaurant and took the apartment elevator with Old Ma.
Old Ma's room was on the fifth floor of the apartment building. There were about 10 rooms per floor, some with two bedrooms and a living room, and others with one bedroom and a living room.
Old Ma's apartment was a one-bedroom, one-living-room unit, about 50 square meters. Chen Ye had also thoughtfully provided them with a washing machine and a dryer.
You know, in America, many apartments don't have washing machines. There's usually a public laundry area where you have to put in coins to wash your clothes.
Walking into the room, a strong smell of alcohol and blood mixed together.
As if he had heard Chen Ye and Old Ma enter, the man in a suit, who was supposed to be lying on the sofa and covered in bandages, suddenly sat up. His expression was very alert, and he was holding a gun in his right hand, on guard.
"Relax, this is my landlord. He's here to help you. Do you feel any better now?" Old Ma immediately went forward to ask with concern.
Hearing Old Ma's explanation, the man relaxed and apologized, "Sorry, I thought you were sent by the High Table to hunt me down."
Chen Ye confirmed that the middle-parted man with a full beard in front of him was indeed John Wick, the man who killed everyone for a dog.
"You shouldn't be here. You should know that Old Ma saved you. He'll get into trouble too," Chen Ye waved his hand, indicating he didn't mind.
"Old Ma almost died because of you. Have you forgotten?" Chen Ye continued.
After hearing Chen Ye's words, John Wick's expression seemed a little ashamed.
"It's alright, after all, we're friends. What happened to you during this time? Why are the High Table after you?" Old Ma asked unconcernedly.
John Wick hesitated and glanced at Chen Ye.
"It's okay, he's one of us. He won't betray you. I guarantee it," Old Ma understood that John Wick still didn't trust Chen Ye.

"If Old Ma wasn't my tenant, he'd be my friend. I wouldn't bother with you otherwise," Chen Ye sneered.
John Wick had gotten Old Ma's assurance and then slowly told Chen Ye and Old Ma about what had happened in the past few months.
Ten minutes later,
"So, the elder of the High Table's New York branch blew up your house, and then you killed both of them?" Old Ma exclaimed incredulously.
"And then you violated the rules of the Continental Hotel and killed someone inside? And Winston let you off the hook and let you go," Old Ma thought John Wick's experiences in this period were enough to make a movie.
Chen Ye didn't speak after listening, sitting on the sofa with a blank expression, thinking about how to maximize the benefits of this incident.
The High Table's New York branch was now short an elder. Could he let his uncle, Kingpin, take the position?
The High Table was an assassin organization formed by major gangs worldwide, with twelve seats in total, and its headquarters was in the desert near Casablanca.
These twelve seats represent the High Table's management, including members from the Mafia, the Yakuza, and the Antonio Family, represented by the recently deceased sisters.
Even though the High Table has a legacy and is very strict about its rules, the strong are meant to make the rules. It's easy to just make a new one.
After all, both the High Table and the Continental Hotel are pretty good organizations.
Whether it's the Continental Hotel's cleanup crew, their intelligence network, or those bulletproof suits...
People inside are always fighting among themselves, and Kingpin is also involved in the Mafia. He's more than enough to take a seat. John Wick saw Chen Ye deep in thought, looking worried, and thought Chen Ye was afraid of the trouble he'd bring, afraid of the High Table's influence.
Immediately, John Wick stood up and said, "I'm so sorry. I'll leave now. The High Table's assassins won't find you, and I won't cause you any trouble."
Chen Ye quickly stopped John Wick, saying, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of trouble. I was just thinking about something. You don't think I'm afraid of the High Table, do you? I was just thinking about how to take over now that the elder of the New York branch has been taken care of by you."
"Your friend is really joking, Old Ma. I should leave here quickly and go to the Continental Hotel in Osaka to find someone else." Obviously, John Wick didn't believe Chen Ye. He thought Chen Ye was overestimating himself.
"Ding ding ding," Chen Ye's phone rang.
Chen Ye answered the phone with his right hand, and placed his left index finger in front of his mouth, signaling Old Ma and John Wick to be quiet.
Old Ma and John Wick were puzzled, and could only sit quietly on the living room sofa, looking at each other. They could only hear Chen Ye's voice.
"It's me, yes, I'm here. Got some rats coming over? Whose people are they?"
"The New York Continental Hotel was blown up?"
"The High Table elder in New York was taken out. Go and find out. See if there's any room for maneuver."
Three minutes later, Chen Ye hung up the phone.
Then he said to John Wick and Old Ma, "Just now, the Continental Hotel in New York was blown up, and because of you, Winston's concierge, Charon, was also taken out."
"Whose doing?" John Wick pounded the sofa with his right hand, his voice filled with anger upon hearing of Winston's predicament.
"It's the Marquis, one of the twelve seats of the High Table. They've also discovered your whereabouts and have sent assassins here," Chen Ye explained.
"I'll leave now and draw their attention. You are innocent," John Wick insisted, wanting to leave alone again.
Old Ma glanced at Chen Ye, as if asking him to help John Wick.
"Leave? Where do you think you're going? Do you think the Marquis' people will spare us if you leave? Don't worry, this is Hell's Kitchen. If they dare come, I'll make sure they sleep here forever," Chen Ye said calmly.
Suddenly, Chen Ye sensed a killing intent.
A gunshot rang out, and a bullet shot through the window across the room. Chen Ye and the other two quickly dodged.
Looking at the shattered window and the scattered glass fragments,
Chen Ye was enraged, and a ray of red light shot out from his right hand, directly flying towards the sniper.
The next moment, the red light pierced through the sniper, instantly killing him.
"Who told you to damage my house!" Chen Ye cursed inwardly.
John Wick and Old Ma on the side stared blankly at Chen Ye's actions.
"Landlord, you, do you know magic?" Old Ma pointed at Chen Ye with a trembling right hand.
"What's so strange about that? The money for the damaged window will be deducted from your deposit. If the deposit isn't enough, you'll pay me the rest. You two stay here. I'll go take care of them. Damn it, I don't want them destroying my house." Chen Ye said, annoyed.
At this moment, John Wick, who was on the side, wanted to step forward to help, clearly not believing in Chen Ye's abilities.
"Recover well. I won't let an injured person participate in the battle, even if you are the Night Demon. Just watch my performance. It'll be quick." Chen Ye said with displeasure.
