San Francisco ghetto.

Chen Mo stood on the somewhat old and dilapidated street, looking at a shop opposite.

The clean glass windows contrast with the dirty streets, and the wooden sloping shelves on either side of the doorway are neatly arranged with several kinds of vegetables.

"Chen's store, it should be here."

Chen Mo glanced at the female homeless man sitting in the corner next to the store, and was even more sure of this.

Just as Chen Mo was about to cross the road to take a look, he found that Eddie Bullock was walking from not far away.

Chen Mo couldn't help but stop, watched Eddie Bullock say hello to the female homeless man at the door of the store, and then pushed the door and walked into the store.

"What a coincidence."

Chen Mo couldn't help laughing, and then walked over.

……

"Hi, Mrs. Chen!"

Pushing open the glass door of the store, Eddie Bullock greeted the proprietress familiarly.

Eddie Bullock's rented apartment is nearby, this Chen's shop has a full range of things, snacks, drinks, breakfast, almost everything, he comes at least once a day, and he is also very familiar with the shopkeeper, Mrs. Chen.

"How's it going, Eddie?"

Mrs. Chen asked as she cleaned up behind the counter.

"It's the same as before."

Eddie Bullock said as he walked towards the shelves inside.

"Really?"

Mrs. Chen looked at Eddie Bullock and felt that this young man seemed to be a little different from before, and seemed to be more calm.

Eddie Bullock turned his head and shrugged his shoulders at Mrs. Chen, then walked to the shelves and picked up the food.

He has seen the recent changes in the Life Foundation, and he has completely let go of the idea of looking for trouble, and has devoted all his energy to work and accompany his girlfriend.

Under Chen Mo's reminder and lesson, Eddie Bullock changed his original brutal style and began to dig deeper into news goals and events.

Mrs. Chen shook her head helplessly, and as soon as she withdrew her gaze from Eddie Bullock, she heard the bell hanging in front of the store ring again, and a tall and strong figure pushed the door and walked in.

Mrs. Chen couldn't help but mention it in her heart, thinking that the gang of gangsters who often came over to extort and rob were here again.

This is a slum, the law and order are chaotic, the gangs are rampant, even if she pays a lot of protection money on time, these insatiable guys will still come to the door from time to time to blackmail and rob, and most of the small income has been taken away by these gangsters, and she is just barely surviving.

Mrs. Chen couldn't help but sigh in her heart, it seems that she is going to work in vain these days again, when will this kind of life be the end!

However, when she saw the face of the comer, she couldn't help but be stunned, it turned out that it was not the gangster she thought she thought had come in, but a handsome young Asian in a suit.

"Hello, what do you need?"

Mrs. Chan asked in English.

Chen Mo looked at Mrs. Chen, who was kind and thin behind the counter, and said in Chinese with a smile.

"Just take a look."

When Mrs. Chen heard Chen Mo speak Chinese, her face couldn't help but show a little closeness, the security in her area is not very good, there are not many Chinese people living there, and it is rare to meet them.

Mrs. Chen, who met her compatriots, was still very happy, and the sorrow that had risen in her heart before was left behind for a while, and she said to Chen Mo in Chinese with a smile.

"I haven't seen you before, did you just move in?"

They are in a slum, and there are not many outsiders, and most of the people who come to her to buy things are people who live in nearby apartments, so she asks this question.

Chen Mo nodded along with her words.

"It's only been a few days since I arrived."

When Mrs. Chen heard this, she kindly reminded immediately.

"Then you must be careful at night, try not to go out after twelve o'clock, the security in this neighborhood is not very good."

"Thank you."

Chen Mo smiled and nodded, and walked into the store and strolled around.

Eddie Bullock also saw Chen Mo, but at this time, Chen Mo had already recovered his original appearance, so Eddie Bullock didn't recognize him, just glanced at Chen Mo, and then looked away.

Just when Chen Mo was looking at the neat shelves, planning to buy something casually, the sound of the door opening came from the door again, and then a fierce male voice sounded.

"A bottle of whiskey! Don't forget to ask me for change! ”

Chen Mo and Eddie Bullock couldn't help but turn their heads to look at the counter when they heard this, and saw a stout man with a beard and a fierce face standing in front of the counter, but although he said change, he didn't pay at all, but looked at Mrs. Chen behind the counter with a fierce face, obviously, he didn't really come to buy something.

Eddie Bullock, who lives here, naturally sees at a glance the identity and purpose of this man, this is a gangster, and he is now clearly blackmailing Mrs. Chen.

Chen Mo is also very clear about the identity of this man, because in the movie he came to blackmail Mrs. Chen several times, which is also the reason why Chen Mo came over this time.

In the movie, in the end, it was "Venom" who swallowed the gangster who came to blackmail again, but now, Venom and other symbiotes are all in Chen Mo's hands, there will be no more "Venom" in this world, and Eddie Bullock naturally can't help Mrs. Chen.

Chen Mo didn't want to let his compatriot continue to be oppressed because of his own reasons, so he originally planned to come over to take a look at the situation, and then find out this gangster and get rid of him, but now he sent it to the door by himself, which saved Chen Mo a lot of effort.

In front of the counter, Mrs. Chen's face changed as soon as she saw the man, and she said with a begging face when she heard the other party's words.

"Please, I'm just a small business."

She really can't stand the endless blackmail of these thugs, and if it goes on like this, her business will not be able to continue at all.

However, it is clear that the thug does not care about Mrs. Chen's life or death, and the next one will reopen when this shop closes, so that he can continue to blackmail.

"Smack!"

The stout man's left hand slapped heavily on the counter, making a loud noise, which frightened Mrs. Chen and couldn't help but shrink back.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

As he spoke, the man reached for his right hand at his waist, pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Mrs. Chen, who looked panicked behind the counter.

"Hurry up! Otherwise, the protection fee will go up! ”

Eddie Bullock hid behind the shelves, looking at the robbery that was going on at the counter, his face was full of confusion, he wanted to help, but he knew that he was rushing out now and there was no point in making this robbery one more victim, which made him bow his head in despair.
