Chapter 42 - Jade's Parents

The Battle of New York!

This was a major event with far-reaching impact in the Marvel world.

According to the original plot, the evil god Loki stole the Tesseract, opened a space wormhole, and brought the Chitauri army to Earth, causing a series of disasters and chain reactions.

However, in the spacetime where Shen Du was located, due to the God of Lies and Deceit's mistaken actions, the Mind Scepter was directly lost, rewriting the story that was about to unfold!

"Wanting to cover up a bad thing..."

"Undoubtedly requires an even more shocking bad thing!"

Shen Du's smile was playful as he ordered, "Loki, go to the Triskelion to complete the mission you're burdened with."

Mission?

The evil god Loki was bewildered by what he heard.

"Summon the Chitauri to Earth!"

"But, the location isn't here, it's in the West!"

"Stark Industries Tower!"

Shen Du spoke slowly.

"Huh?"

"Why can't it be here?"

Loki was completely baffled.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, the vibrant, bustling Eastern City stretched out to the horizon.

Modern and traditional architectural styles blended seamlessly, creating a harmonious visual.

Even the aesthetically discerning Loki couldn't help but be amazed.

He was dreaming of dominating this incredibly prosperous coastal city!

"Loki."

"Don't even think about it."

"This city was once the capital of the Demon Empire, and it will be its future capital as well!"

"Besides, the Dark Queen's parents live in this very city."

Shen Du's eyes narrowed slightly, as if he had keenly perceived Loki's thoughts. He immediately rebuked him, stopping him in his tracks.

The Dark Queen's home?!

Everyone looked at each other.

Even the suit-wearing thug, Valmont, was hearing this detail for the first time, never having heard it before.

"I really miss my parents," Jade said, her eyes filled with sorrow as she gazed at her hometown in the distance.

In the Jackie Chan Adventures series, Jade came from a privileged background.

She was well-fed and well-clothed.

But now, in this complex world, a fusion of multiple backgrounds…

Jade's parents weren't from a wealthy background; they were genuinely ordinary people.

They lived near the Kowloon Walled City, before it was demolished.

Even though they dressed nicely, it couldn't hide how tired and busy they were.

"In that case,"

"Why don't we go and visit your parents?"

Shen Du's expression was amiable.

"My motorcade is ready!"

Ba Sa Chang quickly chimed in.

As a top-tier super-rich businessman in the island nation, listed on the Forbes Eastern Celebrities List, and a globally renowned philanthropist known for his dedication to public service,

Ba Sa Chang, adorned with various honors and titles, practically had connections in both the legal and criminal worlds.

Even in Shenzhou, he had countless supporters and followers! After all, money could move mountains!

Compared to personal martial prowess,

the power of wealth was undoubtedly superior!

Vroom! The engine roared.

A lavish, pristine white Rolls-Royce Phantom led the way.

The car's hood ornament, a flying lady, was exquisitely crafted.

Harley Motorcycle Team flanked both sides.

A long line of limited edition, collectible cars of various brands and models followed.

Even the well-informed commoners were stunned!

"Is a foreign head of state visiting the Governor?!"

"Probably rented!"

"Isn't that Ba Sa Chang?"

Continuous exclamations and gasps of cold air filled the air.

Paparazzi reporters trailed the convoy's destination.

Startled, Ba Sa Chang and his entourage found themselves in a remote, dilapidated suburban area.

A breeding ground for crime, synonymous with chaos and filth.

Even the Governor-General had a headache dealing with the Kowloon Walled City!

The residents of the walled city peeked out to observe the luxurious motorcade, all of them feeling excited and amazed.

Especially when they heard that the internationally renowned philanthropist, Ba Sa Chang, was staying in Kowloon Walled City, the residents became even more enthusiastic.

They spontaneously formed a lion dance honor guard to celebrate the arrival of the distinguished guests.

Crack! Crack! The sound of firecrackers never ceased.

Then, the front passenger door of the Rolls-Royce Phantom opened.

Occasionally appearing on CCTV, the international philanthropist Ba Sa Chang, ignoring the shocked and bewildered gazes of the Kowloon Walled City residents.

Under the scrutiny of all eyes, he circled the car and opened the rear door.

Two figures with outstanding grace emerged.

The leading man was as dazzling as a top Hollywood superstar, wearing a well-tailored, slim-fitting suit, with perfect facial features.

His eyes, as bright as stars, held no hint of a spoiled playboy's frivolity, but instead, were extremely deep, languid, and melancholic.

Aloof.

Gentlemanly.

He instantly captivated the hearts of countless young women.

As for the figure accompanying the man, she was dressed like a dark gothic lolita, radiating an icy, "keep away" aura, with a rebellious and wild nature that was hard to forget.

"Jade?!"

The middle-aged couple not far away rubbed their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief as they exclaimed in a flustered manner.

"Mom, Dad."

"I'm here to take you home."

Jade opened her arms and rushed towards her weary parents, looking up and smiling sweetly.

Home?

Weren't they living in Kowloon Walled City?

The middle-aged couple were puzzled.

Even more curious, who was the noble young man accompanying Jade?

It didn't seem to be Jackie Chan, a distant relative!

"Let's go."

Shen Du snapped his fingers.

However, the residents of Kowloon Walled City didn't seem to intend to let Shen Du leave.

Originally, everyone was overjoyed, thinking the city would be demolished.

Developed by the internationally renowned philanthropist, Ba Sa Chang.

Everyone was beating drums and performing lion dances, and firecrackers were going off.

Result…

That's it?!

Kowloon Walled City, as a lawless land, was a breeding ground for crime and chaos.

Even the highly skilled detectives of the Inspection Office didn't dare to set foot here!

Moreover, Kowloon Walled City was a place where dragons and tigers were hidden, with many super criminals hiding their identities.

He was planning to leave without leaving any benefits behind? It was simply laughable!

One burly man after another came out, their arms bound with red silk, instantly surrounding Ba's Group's luxury motorcade.

"Mr. Wen Wu."

"It seems there's been a little setback."

"The Xing Hong Society hoodlums are deliberately causing trouble."

"Should we provide some 'education'?"

The black-clad, masked assassin, his face painted with the copper-faced makeup of Peking Opera, stood on a high platform overlooking the cityscape of the Kowloon Walled City, bowing as he reported.

This was a Death Dealer!

His real name was Li Qinglin.

He was an indispensable and important member of the Ten Rings.

His words usually represented the will of the Mandarin!

"Don't make trouble."

"If Lord Shen doesn't have the ability to solve the problem, then he wouldn't be worthy of being considered my opponent."

In the dimly lit, enclosed compartment, fluent and melodious Cantonese could be heard.

The middle-aged man, impeccably groomed with a white shirt, put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth, saying:

"Wen Wu."

Actually, that wasn't his real name.

This middle-aged man went by many aliases.

Like Chao Wei, Ip Man, Yong Ren.

And so on.

And so on.

However, compared to these outdated aliases, he preferred another, more representative title.

Mandarin!

He had the blood of the Golden Family running through his veins, a wicked warlord from an era of chaos.

Because of his endless pursuit of knowledge, he ultimately abandoned everything within his grasp.

Years passed.

In search of something lost, Mandarin once again reinvented himself, using a new name and identity to sneak into Hong Kong.

He temporarily resided in the chaotic Kowloon Walled City.

He decided to wait for an opportunity to act.

"Mr. Wen Wu."

"Is that young man really Lord Shen?"

"The fire tyrant who once ruled Shenzhou twice, carrying endless infamy, and slumbered for a thousand years?"

The Death Dealer, Li Qinglin, confirmed repeatedly.

It was truly unbelievable.

The ancient demon described in the historical records had actually disguised himself as a domineering CEO.

He even invested in the Ba Sa Chang Group, contracted the Kowloon Peninsula, and prepared to undertake large-scale construction to establish a multinational biotechnology company!

What exactly was Lord Shen's goal?!

"That's right."

"It's that remarkable demon tyrant."

Wen Wu's lips curled into a smile.

But there wasn't a hint of a smile in his eyes.
