Seeing that it was getting late, Kingpin slapped his thighs lightly, as if preparing himself for an important speech.
"We'll be leaving as well. Vanessa has had quite a tiring night."
He then instructed Bullseye to go outside and get the car ready.
Before leaving, Kingpin looked deeply at Chen Ye, his gaze filled with complexity—and a hint of relief.
In a solemn tone, he said,"Child, Hell's Kitchen's future is now in your hands. You've grown into an outstanding leader. I believe you have the ability to guide this place toward a better future."
After everything that had happened—and after learning about his counterpart in a parallel universe—Kingpin had decided to retire from the underworld and spend his time with Vanessa and Richard.
After all, Chen Ye was indeed more capable… and better than him.
Hearing this, Chen Ye gave a helpless, bitter smile.
"Don't do this. I just want to live quietly in my restaurant and collect rent like a landlord."
The recent turmoil had left him utterly exhausted. What he longed for was simply an ordinary life.
However, Kingpin replied in a tone that brooked no refusal:
"This is an order. You must accept it. Wanda will help you manage affairs here—I trust she's more than capable. I'll have someone inform the underworld later. I'll personally introduce the new leader."
"Child, I'm old. There's no place for me in this new era anymore. It's your turn."
Without giving Chen Ye a chance to respond, he left with Vanessa and Richard.
Just as Chen Ye was about to struggle a bit more, the system notification sounded again.
"Congratulations, Host. Wilson Grant Fisk's favorability has reached max level."
"Congratulations, Host. Wilson Grant Fisk has become your family."
"Congratulations, you have obtained 1 Family Point."
"Congratulations, Host. Richard Fisk's favorability has reached max level."
"Congratulations, Host. Vanessa's favorability has reached max level."
"Congratulations…"
"Congratulations, Host. Current family members: 9/10."
"Please keep working hard! Only one more to unlock your exclusive skill."
After reading the system notifications, Chen Ye understood Kingpin's intentions.
He chose not to say anything further.
A heaviness settled in his heart. Looking at the system interface, he sighed softly.
Just one more family member was needed to unlock the exclusive skill—but that last step felt oddly melancholic.
As he was lost in thought, another system notification appeared.
A new line of text flashed before his eyes:
"Congratulations, Host. Wanda Django Maximoff's favorability has reached max level."
"Congratulations, Host. Wanda Django Maximoff has become your family."
"Congratulations, Host. Current family members: 10/10."
"Congratulations, Host. Family Hero upgraded to Lv. 3."
"Congratulations, Host. Exclusive skill unlocked: On Your Right Lv.1."
Seeing this series of messages, Chen Ye's eyes widened in shock.
He looked around quickly, searching for Wanda.
There she was—sitting quietly to the side, smiling at him.
Her face carried a sense of peace and fulfillment, as if she had finally found her true home.
Their eyes met.
In that instant, Chen Ye seemed to understand something.
A warm feeling rose in his chest.
He realized that Wanda had always been silently supporting and caring for him.
"You're not leaving?" he asked softly, his voice carrying a hint of tenderness and reluctance.
"I'm not leaving," Wanda replied with a gentle smile. "I've found my biological father and learned the truth about my past. I have no regrets anymore."
"This is my home. My family is here—why would I leave?"
With that, Wanda stood up and walked out of the restaurant. Before leaving, she glanced back at him and said with a smile,
"It's late. Get some rest. You've had a long day."
Chen Ye watched her leave, then turned off the lights in the restaurant and went upstairs to his room.
In the spacious room on the second floor, he sat in a comfortable chair, finally having time to carefully examine his newly acquired title and skill.
He opened the system interface and read through each detail.
[Family Hero Lv.3: When there is one family member on the field, the host's combat power increases by 20%, and family members' combat power increases by 15%.]
[Exclusive Skill: On Your Right Lv.1 — When activated, the host can summon one family member to appear on their right side, regardless of location. Cooldown: 24 hours.]
[Next upgrade requires: 10/15]
"The naming for this skill is really lazy… 'On Your Right'? Shouldn't it sound more poetic or epic?"
"And isn't this basically copying that line from Captain America in Avengers 4—'On your left'?"
Still, the effect of the skill caught his attention immediately.
"System, this skill can be upgraded, right?" Chen Ye asked.
"Yes. After upgrading, the number of family members that can be summoned will increase," the system replied.
Chen Ye then asked another question:
"When you say 'any location,' does that mean within this universe—or…?"
"No matter which universe the host is in, you can summon your family without restriction."
Chen Ye instantly realized just how powerful this skill was.
More importantly, this time the summon was not random—it was a chosen summon.
If he randomly summoned someone like Vanessa, who had no combat ability, that would be disastrous.
But if he could choose who to summon, then at critical moments, he could call the most suitable person to help him.
That meant—even if he traveled to another parallel universe, like the Spider-Man universe—he could still call for backup at any time.
"Host, you currently have 5 Family Points. Would you like to draw a lottery?" the system asked.
Chen Ye thought for a moment, then replied:
"Not for now."
He knew that what happened tonight would spread throughout Hell's Kitchen by tomorrow.
When that happened, he would gain a large number of Friend Points—enough for a ten-pull.
After all, habits from his previous life in gaming made him believe that ten-pulls always had better odds.
Besides, too much had happened today.
He felt exhausted.
He wanted to rest properly and recover his energy.
Tomorrow, when he was refreshed, he would try his luck again.
With that decision made, Chen Ye went to bed.
As he closed his eyes, he drifted into sleep.
In his dream, he saw himself using his skill—summoning powerful family members to fight alongside him against formidable enemies.
…
Meanwhile, elsewhere—
News of Kingpin's retirement and Chen Ye's succession spread like wildfire throughout Hell's Kitchen.
