Chapter 17: When you come out to hang out, you need to talk about power.

France, Marquis Castle

The High Table judge found the Marquis who was admiring the painting. He presented Chen Ye's challenge letter to him and said, "This is a challenge letter from Chen Ye from Hell's Kitchen. According to the rules, you must accept the challenge."

The Marquis didn't care at first. He spread his hands and crossed his legs and said comfortably: "According to the rules of the High Table, people who don't belong to any family of the High Table should not be able to initiate a challenge."

The High Table's judge bowed his head and told the Marquis: "Today, the High Table unanimously agreed that Kingpin would replace the Antonio family of New York to form a new family. According to the regulations, Chen Ye is here to challenge you on behalf of the Fisk family."

After hearing these words, the Marquis' wonderful mood instantly fell to the bottom.

Although he appears calm on the surface, the oppressive feeling of Hell's Kitchen represented by Chen Ye cannot be completely hidden.

The Marquis was not as relaxed as before, and he stood up with his hands on his hips, his eyes dull, probably recalling the experience of being beaten and fleeing in a panic a few days ago.

As a marquis of the High Table, he knew very well that the challenge could not be refused. And the High Table's judge also put forward Jin Bing, or Chen Ye's request.

First of all, there was a compensation of 500 million, and at the same time, John Wick was given freedom, and the Continental Hotel in New York was rebuilt, and all the costs of the renovation were borne by the Marquis.

Of course, all of this ends with Chen Ye’s victory.

The Marquis looked at the painting in front of him and readily agreed. After all, he had no choice but to accept. Only then did he realize how heavy the price of provoking Hell's Kitchen would be.

The Marquis then decided to discuss the challenge at the Eiffel Tower at noon.

After listening to this, the High Table's judge said, "I will convey this to Mr. Chen Ye." Then he turned and left.

The Marquis was left thinking aside.

. . . . . . . .

Hell's Kitchen, Good Luck Restaurant

"Okay, I got it." Chen Ye hung up the phone. John Wick and Winston were waiting anxiously.

Chen Ye slowly said, "The Marquis agreed to the conditions and will go to Paris tomorrow to discuss the duel."

John Wick and Winston looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't expect Chen Ye to be able to convince the High Table to agree to such an outrageous condition.

"However, France is the Marquis's territory. Are you sure the Marquis will participate in the duel obediently?" Winston obviously saw the problem.

"Of course I know that is the Marquis's territory, and I also know that he won't let me participate in a duel easily. After all, he knows who will be the loser if there is a real duel." Chen Ye smiled slightly.

Of course Chen Ye knew what the Marquis was thinking. He just wanted to use the power of his family to gather people to kill Chen Ye before the duel.

The Marquis wanted to kill Chen Ye, and Chen Ye also wanted to kill the Marquis. Not only the Marquis, but also all of the Marquis's forces.

If Chen Ye moved to New York, not only would he kill the Marquis, but other members of the Marquis' family would continue to retaliate. Although Chen Ye was not afraid of retaliation, it would still bring him trouble unexpectedly.

So the best way is to kill them once and for all. I can just go to their territory and see who has more powerful people. If you want to get involved, you need influence and strength. In Paris, don't I have enough people to call in Hell's Kitchen?

"Pack up, John and Lao Ma are going to Paris with me to work. As for you, Winston, stay here with Pietro and wait for good news from me." After saying that, Chen Ye stood up and prepared to pack up and leave.

. . . . . . .

The next day at noon, Chen Ye and John Wick arrived on time for the appointment. After confirmation from the High Table messenger, the Marquis had already been sitting on the chair at the duel table with his legs crossed, waiting for a long time.

Seeing Chen Ye and John Wick, the culprit behind all this, a trace of resentment appeared on the Marquis's face, and then he smiled and said to Chen Ye:

"Mr. Chen Ye, you are indeed a handsome man. The previous incident in Hell's Kitchen was my mistake. I will pay 500 million US dollars as compensation.

As long as you hand John Wick over to me, I can pretend nothing happened.

After all, you have become a member of the High Table, just like me. There is no need for you to sacrifice everything for an insignificant assassin, right? "

Chen Ye sat opposite the Marquis. He ignored the Marquis at first and instead said to Master Ye behind the Marquis in Chinese: "Master Ye, the community college in Hell's Kitchen is ready to recruit students." Obviously, Chen Ye wanted to use this euphemistic way to tell Master Ye that his daughter was safe.

Originally, Chen Ye didn't want to use such an overt method. Even if it was in Chinese, there would be a risk of being exposed, and it would be easy for the opposite Marquis to guess it. But Master Ye was blind, and he couldn't see Chen Ye's gestures, so he could only use sound to tell him.

The Marquis, who was standing by, heard this and looked at Chen Ye and Master Ye with confusion. He didn't expect that the two of them would have any connection, and his face was gloomy for a moment.

Master Ye obviously understood what Chen Ye meant, and his expression did not even change. If you didn't know, you would think that Master Ye ignored Chen Ye.

In fact, the system has already told Chen Ye,

"Ding"

"Congratulations to the host for successfully adding Kane as a friend."

"Obtained attribute: Swordsmanship Lv7."

"Congratulations to the host, Kane's favorability has been raised to two stars."

"Attribute acquired: Hearing Enhancement Lv8."

"Congratulations to the host, Kane's favorability has been raised to three stars."

"Attributes obtained: Martial Arts Mastery Lv7."

"Is it possible to merge immediately?"

"Yes," Chen Ye quickly replied in his mind. It seemed that his daughter was indeed very important to him.

Coming back to his senses, Chen Ye quickly asked the Marquis: "I'm sorry, I didn't hear clearly what you said just now."

The Marquis narrowed his eyes, obviously dissatisfied with Chen Ye's indifferent attitude. He just wanted to kill this ignorant guy, but he still suppressed his anger.

"It's okay. I mean, you can put John Wick..."

Chen Ye shook his index finger and interrupted, "It doesn't matter what you say. John Wick is my friend. You know that people in Hell's Kitchen have a characteristic, that is, they protect their friends. I just need to make sure that it is you who want to kill my friend, so stop talking nonsense and get started."

Just as Chen Ye finished saying this, the system's voice came again in his mind.

"Ding"

"Congratulations to the host. John Wick's favorability has been raised to three stars."

"Obtained attribute: Assassination Mastery Lv10"

"Congratulations to the host. John Wick's favorability has been raised to four stars."

"Attribute acquired: Driving Mastery Lv9"

"Congratulations to the host. John Wick's favorability has been raised to five stars."

"Obtained attribute: Dog breeding: Lv10."

"Should we merge immediately?"

"Instant integration."

Chen Ye instantly felt the human skeleton appear in his mind and knew where he was most likely to die.

Looking at the dog-raising proficiency he had obtained, Chen Ye complained that John Wick really loved dogs. His dog-raising skill was almost maxed out, and he happened to have a dog at home.

The moment Chen Ye saw the system prompt, he knew that John Wick truly regarded him as a good friend. Hell's Kitchen also welcomed a legendary killer again, but unfortunately he was a retired one.

However, the school in Hell's Kitchen can add a self-defense class in the future and let John Wick be the teacher of this class. After all, New York is so chaotic, and the children will not be in Hell's Kitchen anymore, so they also need some self-defense skills.

"Okay, okay, since you are determined to go against me, then you and your good friends will go to hell together." It was obvious that the Marquis had lost his patience and was not going to abide by the rules of the high table.

He just waved his hand, and countless assassins who had been lying in ambush rushed out from all directions, and even two helicopters appeared in the sky.
