Lu Jing didn't answer but asked, "Do you know who Jingguo's grandfather is?"
Tao Siming shook his head. He had only joined the Anti-Black White Alliance for ten years. Deng Jingguo's father had already returned to The Way of the Extraordinary twelve years ago.
The Anti-Black White Alliance is actually the Deng family's foundation. He is at most a rising star, becoming a shareholder by virtue of his outstanding business ability. Of course, Tao Siming and Jingguo are like-minded good brothers and not considered outsiders.
That's why he can 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 stirred up a huge wave in the hearts of Deng Jingguo and Tao Siming. The two masters who had seen great storms were stunned.
Among the Chinese Extraordinary in New York County, almost no one doesn't know Huo Zhengkui. Well, the new generation of children may not understand, but these middle-aged and elderly people know very well who Huo Zhengkui is.
He is the founder of the New York County Chinatown Extraordinary organization (gang), an Extraordinary active in the last century.
Since immigration, the Chinese in New York County have always encountered unfair treatment, capital oppression, and racial discrimination. Overseas Chinese are engaged in dirty and tiring work that white people are unwilling to do, such as mines, farms, cigar factories, and lumber mills.
During the economic crisis in the Free Federation, a large number of white people lost their jobs and did dirty and tiring work, while the Chinese were able to have enough food and clothing, so they became the target of the government's transfer of contradictions.
White people criticized them, and the government took advantage of the situation to issue the Chinese Exclusion Act and so on, and the Chinese lived very hard.
Against this background, an Extraordinary organization (gang) emerged. This gang was called the "Brotherhood." It was connected to the poor people below and the wealthy class above. It cooperated with the government, played games, and responded to the exploitation of the capitalist class. When necessary, it even took up arms to resist.
At its peak, nine out of ten Chinese people were members of the Brotherhood.
:However, the complex new member structure also led to internal instability. When Huo Zhengkui was alive, everyone obeyed him, and the Brotherhood maintained itself with difficulty.
After Huo Zhengkui returned to The Way of the Extraordinary, under the instigation of the New York County government, the Brotherhood split into three major organizations, which are now the famous Chinese Extraordinary organizations: Black Dragon Hall, Bao Lin Hall, and Hong Gang.
"My dad is Huo Zhengkui's illegitimate son?" Deng Jingguo muttered to himself.
Lu Jing nodded, his tone vicissitudes: "When Master Huo returned to The Way of the Extraordinary, your dad was just a small figure. The Brotherhood split, and 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 White Alliance. The reason for taking this name is to inherit Master Huo's legacy on the one hand, and on the other hand, who hasn't been exploited by those guys in the Free State?"
"Before the Pope died, he gave something to Master Huo, probably because Master Huo was Chinese. At that time, he was still wearing a Qing Dynasty braid, which seemed out of place in Europe. No one thought that the Pope would give the precious relic to a yellow man with a braid."
"So. Master 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 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 the Pope's relic to Li Zi Jia Feizhang."
If Master Huo couldn't get it for some reason, he should have passed it on to his powerful descendants and let future generations complete it. At the very least, he should have traded it to Heavenly Punishment, which would be better than giving it to an illegitimate son."
Deng Jingguo snorted coldly: "Although my dad is an illegitimate son, he is also an Extraordinary, a stronger Extraordinary 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 Extraordinary?"
"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, then Jingguo should 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? And 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, so at least we can get a benefit fee from Heavenly Punishment."
Deng Jingguo and Tao Siming looked at each other 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 Lightning Manipulator and unapproachable."
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 task we posted on the Hunter Guild has been completed!"
The next day, eight o'clock in the morning.
Zhang Yuanqing got up to wash up and came to the living room. He saw that Annie had already prepared breakfast and thoughtfully tore the fried dough sticks into pieces and soaked them in 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 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 out.
There were still tear marks on Cao Chao's face, and he was holding a popsicle in his hand. He didn't know if he was beaten by his mother or by 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, stiffening in place.
Zhang Yuanqing took the initiative to step forward and touched Cao Chao's head, and smiled: "What's wrong?"
"Go back now and shout at your mom, 'Please call me Handsome Boy!'" Zhang Yuanqing said, "She will let you eat two popsicles."
"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 yearning for popsicles and trust in the older brother next door, he opened the security door with high spirits and rushed into the living room to confront the landlady.
Zhang Yuanqing then looked at the girl next door and took the initiative to say: "Sorry, I concealed my true level."
Cao Qianxiu gave a forced smile: "Our trust wasn't enough at the time, who would tell a stranger their true level."
Cao Qianxiu hesitated and tentatively said: "Then, the matter of joining the Anti-Black White Alliance..."!
"I think it's quite interesting. Before I returned to China, I was a member of the sixth group of the Anti-Black White Alliance. Remember to find me if you need anything, and wages are not allowed to be in arrears." Zhang Yuanqing gave a positive answer.
Cao Qianxiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Then, if there are usual group gatherings..."
"If I have time, I will participate." Zhang Yuanqing nodded.
A smile appeared on the girl's face.
At this moment, a pig-killing scream came from inside the house, and Cao Chao ran out with a wail, tears streaming down his face, looking at Zhang Yuanqing heartbroken, and making an accusation with his cry.
The popsicle in his hand was also gone.
Cao Chao cried even louder.
"Okay, okay, you go knock on the door now, 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: "I sometimes 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 temperaments, not personal temperaments. There are always some who are not serious enough and not upright enough." Zhang Yuanqing gave her a head wash: "I also 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 others flatter him and likes to see others kowtow."
Cao Qianxiu listened carefully.
At 9:30 in the evening, Zhang Yuanqing, dressed in casual clothes and disguised as the bald middle-aged Jia Feizhang, stepped into the Meisheng Bank building.
"Please wait a moment!" The female receptionist lowered her head to operate the computer. After a while, 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."
A transparent vortex appeared in Zhang Yuanqing's eyes, "You have already seen my valid documents."
The female receptionist was in a trance, 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."
