Chapter 19 Huo Zhengkui

Lu Jing didn't answer but asked, "Do you know who Deng Jingguo's grandfather is?"

Tao Siming shook his head. He had only joined the Anti-Black and White Alliance for ten years. Twelve years ago, Deng Jingguo's father had already returned to the Spirit Realm.

The Anti-Black and White Alliance was actually the Deng family's foundation. He was, at most, a rising star, becoming a shareholder by virtue of his outstanding business abilities. Of course, Tao Siming and Jingguo were like-minded good brothers and not considered outsiders.

That's why he could sit here for tonight's conversation.

"My grandfather?" Deng Jingguo also frowned. "From childhood to adulthood, I never heard my father mention my grandfather."

The three words "Huo Zhengkui" caused an uproar in Deng Jingguo and Tao Siming's hearts. The two sovereigns who had seen great storms were stunned.

Among the Chinese Descendant Xingzhe in New York County, almost no one didn't know Huo Zhengkui. Well, the new generation of kids might not understand, but these middle-aged and elderly people knew very well who Huo Zhengkui was.

He was the founder of the Chinese Descendant Xingzhe organization (gang) in Chinatown, New York County, an Xingzhe who was active in the last century.

Since immigration, the Chinese Descendants in New York County had always encountered unfair treatment, capital oppression, and racial discrimination. Chinese Descendants were engaged in dirty and tiring work that white people were unwilling to do, such as mines, farms, cigar factories, and lumber yards.

When the economic crisis came to the Free Federation, a large number of white people lost their jobs and did the dirty and tiring work. The Chinese Descendants, on the other hand, were able to have enough to eat, so they became the target of the government's shift of contradictions.

The white people criticized them, and the government took the opportunity to promulgate the Chinese Exclusion Act and so on, and the Chinese Descendants lived a very difficult life.

Against this background, an Xingzhe organization (gang) came into being. This gang was called the "Brotherhood." It connected the poor people at the bottom and the wealthy class at the top, cooperating and playing games with the government while coping with the exploitation of the capitalist class, and even resorting to armed resistance when necessary.

At the peak of the Brotherhood, nine out of ten Chinese Descendants were members of the organization.

However, the large and complex structure of new members also led to internal instability. When Huo Zhengkui was alive, everyone obeyed him, and the Brotherhood maintained itself through bumps and bruises.

After Huo Zhengkui returned to the Spirit Realm, with the support of the New York County government, the Brotherhood split into three major organizations, which are now the well-known Chinese Descendant Xingzhe organizations: the Black Dragon Hall, the Baolin Hall, and the Hong Gang.

"My dad is Huo Zhengkui's illegitimate son?" Deng Jingguo muttered to himself.

Lu Jing nodded, his tone full of vicissitudes, "When Old Man Huo returned to the Spirit Realm, your dad was just a small character. When the Brotherhood split, he didn't dare to reveal his identity. He took me out to work hard alone. As our levels got higher and higher, we established the Anti-Black and White Alliance. The reason why we took this name is, on the one hand, to inherit Old Man Huo's will, and on the other hand, who hasn't been exploited by those guys in the Free Federation?"

"Before the Pope died, he handed something over to Old Man Huo. Maybe it was because Old Man Huo was Chinese Descendant. At that time, he still wore a Qing Dynasty braid, which seemed out of place in Europe. No one thought that the Pope would hand over the precious relic to a yellow man with a braid."

"So. Old Man Huo left Europe with the Pope's relic and came to New York County to establish the Brotherhood. In his later years, Jingguo's father passed on the relic to his illegitimate son, who is Jingguo's father."

"This is because the identity of the illegitimate son is more hidden. For the same reason, my brother also passed on the Pope's relic to that traitor, Jia Feizhang."

If Old Man Huo couldn't get it for some reason, he should have passed it on to a powerful offspring and let future generations complete it. At worst, he should have traded it to Heavenly Punishment, which would be better than giving it to an illegitimate son.”

Deng Jingguo snorted, "Although my dad is an illegitimate son, he is also an Xingzhe, a stronger Xingzhe than us."

The bookish Tao Siming smiled bitterly, "Then your father's approach is incomprehensible. Why did he give it to Jia Feizhang instead of you? Does Uncle Deng think that Jia Feizhang can also become an Xingzhe?"

"These are not important anymore." Lu Jing said in a deep voice, "The Pope's relic cannot fall into the hands of others. Since Jia Feizhang is dead, Jingguo will keep it. We must take back the Pope's relic."

Deng Jingguo frowned, "Uncle Jing, we don't even know who the enemy is, how can we take it back? We may not have the strength to take it back."

Lu Jing, with his full head of silver hair, was particularly strong, and immediately said, "Then report it to Heavenly Punishment and let Heavenly Punishment take it back. At least we can ask for a benefit fee from Heavenly Punishment."

Deng Jingguo and Tao Siming exchanged glances and did not object.

"Then it's settled." Lu Jing took out his phone and planned to contact the high-level officials of the Heavenly Punishment branch in New York County. "I have had several contacts with Winnie Bertram. She is an upright Thunder Master and doesn't care about relationships."

At this moment, Tao Siming's phone rang. He took out his phone and looked at it, his expression suddenly changed slightly, "Wait!"

Lu Jing and Deng Jingguo looked over.

Tao Siming's expression was strange. He held up his phone and faced the two of them, "The mission we posted on the Hunter Guild has been completed!"

The next day, eight o'clock in the morning.

Zhang Yuanqing got up, washed up, and came to the living room. He saw that Annie had already set the table for breakfast and thoughtfully tore the fried breadsticks into pieces and soaked them in the salty soy milk.

Her own breakfast was fried eggs, toast, bacon, and sweet soy milk.

"Why do you eat sweet soy milk?"

"I'm not used to eating salty soy milk."

"Promise me, don't just drink soy milk in the future."

After eating breakfast, Zhang Yuanqing put his phone in his pocket, twisted the doorknob, and walked out of the house. He happened to see Cao Qianxiu leading her younger brother's hand out.

There were still tears on Cao Chao's face, and he was holding an ice cream stick in his hand. It was unknown whether he had been beaten by his mother or his sister.

The two sides were about to meet. Cao Qianxiu suddenly stopped, her eyes lit up slightly, but she restrained herself and didn't speak, freezing in place.

Zhang Yuanqing took the initiative to go forward and touched Cao Chao's head, smiling, "What's wrong?"

"Go back now and shout at your mom, 'Please call me handsome!'" Zhang Yuanqing said, "She will let you eat two ice cream sticks."

"Really?" The little boy opened his innocent eyes wide.

"That's how I used to shout at my mom when I was a kid, it will definitely work!" Zhang Yuanqing gave him courage and encouragement.

Cao Chao thought for a while, out of longing for ice cream sticks and trust in the brother next door, he opened the anti-theft door with high spirits and rushed into the living room to confront the landlady.

Only then did Zhang Yuanqing look at the girl next door and take the initiative to speak, "Sorry, I hid my true level."

Cao Qianxiu gave a forced smile, "We didn't have enough trust at the time, who would tell a stranger their true level."

Cao Qianxiu hesitated and tentatively asked, "Then, about joining the Anti-Black and White Alliance..."!

"I think it's quite interesting. Before I return to China, I am a member of the sixth group of the Anti-Black and White Alliance. Remember to find me if you have anything, and wages are not allowed to be in arrears." Zhang Yuanqing gave a definite answer.

Cao Qianxiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Then, if there are usually group gatherings..."

"If I have time, I will participate." Zhang Yuanqing nodded.

A hint of a smile appeared on the girl's face.

At this moment, a pig-killing scream came from the house. Cao Chao ran out with a wail, tears streaming down his face, and looked at Zhang Yuanqing in despair, accusing him with his cries.

The ice cream stick in his hand was also gone.

Cao Chao cried even louder.

"Okay, okay, now go knock on the door of 403, Aunt Annie will compensate you with a bag of snacks."

Cao Chao instantly stopped crying, "Really?"

"When have I ever lied to you?" Zhang Yuanqing asked.

"Yeah!" Cao Chao hopped to knock on the door.

Looking at her younger brother's silly appearance, Cao Qianxiu's expression was a little complicated, "Sometimes I wonder, are you really a Scout? I remember that Scouts are soldiers, serious and upright."

"That's because you don't understand the Second District. There are outliers in any group. Seriousness and uprightness are group characteristics, not personal characteristics. There are always some who are not serious and not upright." Zhang Yuanqing gave her a head massage, "I know a Fire Master who is more wise than a Scholar. I also know a Scholar who is more flamboyant than a Fire Master, and there is also a powerful Scout who likes to hear people flatter him and likes to see people bow down to him."

Cao Qianxiu listened carefully.

At 9:30 in the evening, Zhang Yuanqing, dressed in plain clothes and disguised as the bald middle-aged Jia Feizhang, stepped into the Meson Bank building.

"Please wait a moment!" The female receptionist lowered her head to operate the computer. After a moment, she raised her head and said, "Will George has been retired for many years."

Zhang Yuanqing said, "I'm here to open a safe deposit box, the number is 1145."

A transparent vortex appeared in Zhang Yuanqing's eyes, "You have already seen my valid documents."

The female receptionist was in a daze for a moment, and then smiled, "Please, please come with me!"

She led Zhang Yuanqing into the interior of the bank and knocked on the manager's door, "Manager, this gentleman is here to open a safe deposit box."
