cle before following behind the body carrier as he walked off into the distance.“Wait!” Seeing the body carrier and the corpses about to leave, Xiao Yu’s expression suddenly changed dramatically. He s...Chapter 647: China House
After Kate's exclamation of surprise, the rest of the workers also looked at Xiao Yu and gave him a thumbs up. They had all received some training before coming to work in houses owned by Chinese people like Jin Xianglin, so they were somewhat familiar with some Chinese customs. Moreover, they had seen the difference in Kate before and after Xiao Yu's acupuncture treatment, and in their minds, this miraculous scene could only be achieved through magic.
Seeing how everyone reacted, Xiao Yu did not feel happy at all; instead, he felt a bit heavy-hearted. Many methods of traditional Chinese medicine were much more effective than Western medicine, but Western medicine had spread throughout the world, while in its place of origin, traditional Chinese medicine was still seen as fraudulent witchcraft. This was even more so outside China, and it could be said to be an entire tragedy for the field of traditional Chinese medicine.
After about ten minutes, an ambulance arrived at the scene, with two workers accompanying Kate to the hospital.
Gun-related incidents seemed very common in the US, so this incident did not cause any waves, and Jin Xianglin also did not show any abnormal behavior.
The next morning, after breakfast, Jin Xianglin drove Xiao Yu to Chinatown in New York City.
When they arrived here, Xiao Yu saw a large number of East Asian faces, as if he had come back home. After getting off the car, the two of them began exploring the area.
Jin Xianglin walked and explained to Xiao Yu the history of this place; it was worth noting that Chinatown in New York City was also one of the oldest Chinese neighborhoods in America, so there were many buildings with traditional Chinese architecture located here.
Similarly, it was also the largest gathering place for overseas Chinese people in the US, and most Chinese people who came to New York would stay here.
In the middle of the day, Jin Xianglin brought Xiao Yu to an ancient-looking building.
"Doctor Xiao, this is the Zhonghua Building, which was featured in TV dramas and movies. It's also said to be the headquarters of overseas Hongmen. However, it still retains its unique characteristics as a hotel, and it serves some of the most authentic Chinese cuisine in all of New York!"
As they approached the building's main entrance, Jin Xianglin pointed at the sign on this ancient-looking structure and told Xiao Yu.
Hearing Jin Xianglin’s introduction, Xiao Yu looked up at the building and noticed a pair of enormous stone lions in front of it. He nodded his head as he thought to himself that these things are indeed quite old and very rustic-looking; despite some wear and tear over the years, they still serve as historical witnesses.
As for Hongmen, it had already declined on Chinese soil, and according to rumors, all its members had relocated overseas. The extent of their development is unknown, since Xiao Yu isn't part of that circle anymore; even after inheriting some knowledge, no one has briefed him about these matters.
Therefore, his understanding of Hongmen only comes from movies and TV shows. He knows that it's now a global organization, and this organization isn’t weaker than any foreign Mafia family.
In addition, it’s said that in its heyday, Hongmen gathered people with extraordinary abilities, making them the strongest group overall compared to any other organization in the world. However, after years of development, Hongmen has fractured into several factions; such internal strife no longer allows it to shine as brightly as before.
Even so, it still holds a place among these global criminal organizations.
The two men stepped inside the Zhonghua Building. Although it was only 11 in the morning, nearly all of the first-floor seats were occupied, with many foreign faces among them.
Jin Xianglin led Xiao Yu directly to the second floor, which had been sectioned off into small private rooms. When they arrived upstairs and Jin Xianglin gave their name, a hostess guided them to one of these little rooms.
After sitting down, Jin Xianglin informed Xiao Yu that he had already made a reservation for lunch earlier in the morning.
When Xiao Yu heard this, he nodded. No wonder they managed to secure a private room in such a bustling restaurant!
Suddenly, Xiao Yu's brows furrowed slightly as he turned his head and looked outside. After a moment, a man in his thirties wearing an open-front jacket walked over, carrying a large teapot.
This large teapot poured tea for them before leaving the scene. Xiao Yu kept watching it leave until it disappeared from sight before turning around to pour himself a cup of tea.
It turned out that just now, he actually sensed an internal force fluctuation emanating from this large teapot. Based on the strength of this fluctuation, it should be at the late-stage Enlightenment Force level.
A large teapot actually had the level of a late-stage Enlightenment Force user It was worth noting that Zhang Dahai was also only at the late-stage Enlightenment Force level. Although Zhang Dahai hadn't been practicing internal force for long, his foundation was very solid. Therefore, it could be said that a thirty-something-year-old person entering the late stage of Enlightenment Force already displayed remarkable talent, even if they were just starting to enter this stage.
However, being able to enter the late-stage Enlightenment Force at such an age meant there would be ample hope for advancement into the Dark Force in the future. Even attempting to break through to Transformation Force had a slim chance of success.
Soon after, the dishes they ordered arrived. Looking at those serving them, Xiao Yu couldn't help but nod inwardly; he thought to himself that this place was indeed extraordinary—there were traces of internal force fluctuations emanating from even these servers.
When Xiao Yu and his companions were in the middle of their meal, a sudden cacophony came from downstairs.
Hearing the commotion below, Jin Xianglin and Xiao Yu both looked out the second-floor window. At this moment, the front of Zhonghua Lou was crowded with people; several individuals wearing white bandages on their heads were standing at the entrance, one of whom held an envelope-like item in his hand and was bowing to hand it over to a middle-aged man standing by the door.
"Damn, those little Japanese devils are causing trouble again!" Just as Xiao Yu and his companions were wondering what was going on, a low curse reached their ears from nearby.
After hearing this voice, Xiao Yu turned to look beside him. Standing there was the big teapot, who at this moment was looking out of the window just like them.
"Brother, what's going on here" Jin Xianglin asked curiously when he heard the big teapot speak.
“These few are those little Japanese devils coming to challenge us!" The big teapot replied after sizing up Jin Xianglin.
It turned out that Zhonghua Lou was a martial arts academy on the surface, but these people below were from Japan and belonged to a dojo called Da He. Last time, this Japanese dojo came here to challenge them and got a beating; this time they probably wanted to settle scores.
Hearing what the big teapot said, Jin Xianglin's face showed signs of excitement. This was an unprecedented opportunity. Previously, he only saw martial arts sparring on TV but now it would happen in real life. So without thinking about eating anymore, he pulled Xiao Yu downstairs.
When they reached the first floor, the middle-aged man had already taken the envelope handed over by a Japanese person and slowly opened it to pull out a piece of paper.
The only words written on that piece of paper were "challenge" at the top and the name of their martial arts academy below.
After seeing this, the middle-aged man quietly closed the letter and looked towards those Japanese people opposite him.
Following his gaze, Xiao Yu also turned to look at these Japanese people. They were around 20-30 years old for the younger ones and 40-50 years old for the older ones. The younger men seemed rather shy and reserved, but the middle-aged men looked arrogant as they stared down the middle-aged man by the door.
Suddenly, Xiao Yu's heart stirred, causing him to look at the crowd behind these Japanese people. When he spotted an elderly Japanese man with a mustache in the crowd, his eyebrows knitted together tightly. this PAP unit.Although they had reported multiple times to their superiors about the lack of cooperation from the PAP forces in their work and never received any replies, it was precisely because of...
