"Have some tea, Miss Natasha. You've deceived us quite a bit. Since you're with the FBI, you have the ability to rescue Mr. Tony Stark yourselves. Why did you have to involve ordinary civilians like us?" Chen Ye said as he poured them tea.
Natasha wasn't a fool; she heard the hidden meaning in Chen Ye's words. She didn't get annoyed and calmly took a sip of tea before saying, "Mr. Chen Ye, you flatter me. You are far from an ordinary civilian. You are the High Table Elder who just stopped a major mushroom event and saved a city."
Natasha continued, "Mr. Chen Ye, do you remember the previous bet? I'm mainly here to fulfill it; Agent Coulson is the one handling the inquiries."
Chen Ye shook his head and said, "Let's forget about that bet. I don't want to make friends with the FBI." Chen Ye had changed his mind; he wouldn't befriend just anyone, and the system didn't have any mandatory tasks. Chen Ye wasn't willing to do things against his will for the system. The truth was, Chen Ye really disliked the people from SHIELD.
Chen Ye ignored Natasha, took a sip of tea, and then turned to Coulson, saying, "You wouldn't come here without a purpose. Just tell me what's on your mind; logically, your department shouldn't be dealing with me."
Coulson slowly said, "I wonder, Mr. Chen Ye, if you'd be interested in working for our department." Although he knew the probability of Chen Ye agreeing was small, Coulson still tried to ask.
Chen Ye refused without even thinking, "I'm sorry, thank you for your consideration, but I'm just an ordinary restaurant owner and just want to work here in peace. I don't plan to go anywhere else." Chen Ye would have to be crazy to agree to join SHIELD, abandoning his comfortable restaurant and apartment, and not being a High Table Elder, just to become a small agent in SHIELD.
Coulson wasn't discouraged by Chen Ye's refusal. After all, the real purpose was coming up: "I heard you have a mutant brother and sister here. I wonder if you could let them come out."
Hearing Coulson's intentions, Chen Ye knew they were after Pietro and the others.
Chen Ye looked at him and slowly said, "Coulson, I don't know what you want with them. According to federal law, one is considered an adult at 22. What do you want with them?"
"I am their brother, and their guardian. You can tell me directly if there's anything. I can make decisions for them." Chen Ye was indeed Wanda and Pietro's guardian. When Chen Ye was young, he had Kingpin as his guardian. Later, when Chen Ye came of age, Pietro and Wanda were transferred under Chen Ye's guardianship.
"Chen Ye, we don't need to talk about your identity. You know that the world is very resistant to mutants, especially in a dangerous place like Hell's Kitchen. How you became their guardian, I don't need to say more, right? With your condition, it's impossible for you to become their guardian."
"If the Federation takes action against mutants, do you think you can protect these two children with your abilities? To be honest, even with the backing of Kingpin, you won't be able to protect them."
"They need a safe, quiet, and healthy living environment. You can't provide that, but we can. Hand them over to us, and we will nurture them properly."
Chen Ye sneered after hearing this. Just by relying on you, SHIELD, if not for Chen Ye, according to the original plot, Wanda and Pietro would be trained as assassins by SHIELD, and experience a miserable life.
"You can leave. We don't need the FBI to interfere in our affairs," Chen Ye said.
At this moment, Coulson threatened, "Let me reintroduce myself. We are not agents from the FBI. We are agents of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division, or SHIELD, for short. We are under the World Security Council, and our main duty is to deal with antisocial criminal behavior or criminal organizations that threaten human safety."
Chen Ye pretended not to understand SHIELD and said, "So, this SHIELD of yours can just take care of my business?"
"You may not know, but SHIELD's authority is far greater than you think. If we want to, your guardianship can be revoked at any time, including you and this apartment. We can seize your restaurant at any time, or even you personally. We can take you away."
"Others may fear Hell's Kitchen, but SHIELD doesn't. If we want to, we can send in the military to level Hell's Kitchen at any time, and your godfather will be in danger. This is SHIELD's right. We have the right to eliminate those we deem harmful to the world."
Coulson spoke with a threatening tone.
Although Coulson was a good guy in the movies, he was already being lenient by not directly arresting the people of Hell's Kitchen.
"So, now you, the so-called SHIELD, want to arbitrarily frame me and arrest me, and also demolish my apartment?"
As Chen Ye finished speaking, the entire restaurant's atmosphere changed completely. Everyone's gaze towards Coulson and Natasha turned from fiery to cold, as if they wanted to get rid of them at any moment.
John Wick saw that the situation was not right and called Lao Ma and Master Ye down from the apartment, ready to fight at any moment.
Coulson noticed the changes in the restaurant, but didn't care at all and continued, "You should know, the reason we're here to communicate with you shows that we come with good intentions. We are now discussing this with you. Since you are their guardian, why don't you make the decision and let them come with us?"
"What if I refuse?" Chen Ye slowly said, not caring about the threat. After all, SHIELD had always been like this. Even Coulson, who always appeared as a nice guy in the movies, was so arrogant. Just how overbearing were the people in SHIELD?
"Then we can only take action." Coulson and Natasha slowly put their hands on their waistbands.
Coulson and Natasha's small movements naturally didn't escape Chen Ye's eyes.
"I'm curious, who gave you the confidence to come to Hell's Kitchen to cause me trouble, and on my turf at that? Who gave you the audacity? Is it because of the agents outside? Or because of the sniper across the street? Or perhaps the two of you have a man standing on the outside rooftop with a bow?"
Chen Ye stood up and questioned them.
Chen Ye had discovered a large number of strangers in his territory a long time ago. Not only did he discover them, but John Wick and the others had also noticed. From the moment they stepped into Chen Ye's territory, they had already been discovered by Chen Ye's Observation Haki.
Coulson and Natasha were taken aback, feeling the pressure Chen Ye exerted as it washed over them. Their expressions immediately turned sour. They hadn't expected Chen Ye to be so alert, to the point where he could detect their hidden agents. The two exchanged glances, realizing that Chen Ye was more formidable than they had anticipated.
