Kowloon Walled City.
It was like a living fortress, a tangle of roots.
A place that hid filth and accumulated countless criminals and super-villains wanted by the authorities in China.
The Walled City had a population of around fifty thousand.
Most of the residents were from the lower classes, like Xiao Yu's parents, at the bottom of the food chain, enduring the bullying of hooligans and gangs, struggling to survive.
To ensure Xiao Yu had a bright future, they were forced to send her to San Francisco, across the ocean.
They had the audacity to ask for help from their distant single relatives, Jackie Chan and Old Man.
Xiao Yu's parents never expected that Xiao Yu would return to Kowloon Walled City alone, and with an unfamiliar young man, decided to move away from Kowloon Walled City!
The key...
Would the Xing Hong Society agree?
He had borrowed a high-interest loan to raise money for his daughter Xiao Yu to study abroad!
"Boss Chen."
"Congratulations on your daughter's triumphant return."
"Looks like the loan can be paid off in one go."
The burly, heavily tattooed man with a fierce and intimidating appearance, his voice rough and his mouth full of yellow teeth, puffed out smoke as he spoke.
This was the head of the Xing Hong Society!
Scarface Qiang.
Xiao Yu's parents' creditor.
He had once borrowed 100,000 silver dollars, and with interest, it had now reached a truly astronomical figure!
Need Xiao Yu's parents to spend the rest of their lives paying it back!
"Mom and Dad?"
"A loan?"
The young girl, dressed in a dark gothic lolita style, blinked her eyes, looking puzzled.
Could it be because of going abroad…?
"Why did you come back, Xiao Yu!"
The middle-aged couple said with a look of disappointment, "Did Jackie Chan and Old Man mistreat you? Not used to the foreign environment? Lonely?"
"...That's still better than being here!"
Indeed.
That's the general public's basic understanding right now.
The reason Shen Du entrusted Basa Chang to establish a multinational biotech company on the Kowloon Peninsula was to reverse this trend of blindly admiring foreign things!
He planned to reshape the land of China through the numerous items awarded by the system!
Individual martial prowess might allow one to dominate briefly.
But in reality, only a legal system that brings about fundamental change can last for generations!
Like Emperor Qin's standardization of writing and roads!
The world-renowned Chinatown!
Of course.
任重而道远.
It's not a task that can be completed overnight!
However, it just so happens that Shen Du, transformed into the Fire Demon, has a long lifespan and ample energy to complete this challenge!
"Hey, hey, hey."
"Is no one going to pay attention to me?"
Scarface Qiang's expression darkened. He stubbed out his cigarette and said in a hoarse voice, "Boss Chen, you aren't thinking of welshing on the deal, are you? You dare to refuse to repay the Xing Hong Society's loan?"
"You're just asking for trouble."
The moment his words fell, Scarface Qiang spread his fingers and viciously grabbed towards Xiao Yu, who was dressed as a dark gothic lolita.
Scarface Qiang's muscles were well-developed and robust, colliding and surging like living things, his contours filled with explosive power!
Everything is thanks to the awakening of the X-Factor!
X-Factor.
A special synthetic material implanted into Earth life by the Celestial beings of the universe, which will cause a benign mutation with infinite possibilities in the target.
This mysterious genetic material has been passed down since ancient times, giving rise to the Mutant race!
Currently, Earth has a population of nearly ten billion.
No one can calculate how many easily-uncontrollable Mutants are hidden and scattered throughout the world!
There are seven levels of Mutants in total.
Zeta Class represents the artificially replicated X-Factor.
Epsilon Class are Mutants who have clearly failed to evolve, with major defects in their abilities, or possessing abilities that are meaningless.
Delta Class accounts for 50% of the Mutant population, with normal appearances and relatively unique talents, but they may also be indistinguishable from the masses.
Gamma Class Mutants possess powerful mutant abilities but suffer from severe, life-threatening flaws.
Beta Class Mutants have abilities nearly on par with Alpha Class, but they can't control their powers at will.
As for the Omega Class...
The difference in combat power is vast.
Some individuals are nearly on par with the Celestials!
For example, the Phoenix! The Scarlet Witch!
These are great beings that even the Celestials dare not provoke.
As for the Scarface Qiang in front of him, he's probably a relatively powerful Mutant, who has activated a passive skill focused on physical strength!
"It seems like the divine land calls Mutants..."
"Awakened?"
Shen Du frowned slightly.
In an instant.
The floating power from the Rooster Talisman erupted, transforming into an invisible hand that seized Scarface Qiang!
Scarface Qiang maintained a bizarre pose, with the veins on his forehead bulging and his blood vessels throbbing. He was frozen like a statue, unable to move! His fists couldn't advance even an inch!
"Awakened!!"
Scarface Qiang's pupils contracted to pinpricks.
He felt as if he'd fallen into an ice cellar, his soul trembling in fear.
There's an Awakened in the mental realm nearby?
Who is it?!
His gaze, a mixture of shock and fury, swept around, but found absolutely nothing!
Pfft.
A sharp laugh echoed out.
As if it were a fuse, it instantly ignited the entire Kowloon Walled City!
Countless residents of the city doubled over in laughter.
"Shut up!!"
"Be quiet!"
"Get them!"
The Xing Hong Society thugs, who had been strutting around earlier, now wore expressions like they'd eaten something foul, and immediately barked out orders.
Arms bound with red silk, the ferocious and terrifying burly men were all thugs from the Xing Hong Society!
Swish, swish, swish!
The burly men pounced towards the Basa Group's luxurious motorcade.
However, before they could get close, they were sent flying back at an unbelievable speed, crashing into the outer walls of the Kowloon Walled City, causing a dense network of spiderweb-like cracks to spread.
A martial artist from the East, with fiery red hair like a raging lion, Black Tiger A-Fu.
Leading the suited-up Valmont, along with the Basa Group's forces, appeared before everyone!
"Tony Chun?"
"Sun ZhengGang?"
"Fu Hongfa?!"
Gasps of air followed in rapid succession.
Those residing in the upper levels of the Kowloon Walled City.
Numerous lawbreakers, criminal organizations, local gang leaders, drug lords, and spokespersons…
All couldn't help but exclaim in shock upon seeing the burly, leading figure.
Fu Hongfa! The invincible Foshan gangster who could beat anyone in Hong Kong!
His reputation was so great that even the director of the inspection office had once tried to recruit him.
However, he was rejected by Black Tiger A-Fu! Later, his whereabouts were unknown.
Why was he in Basa Chang's motorcade?
Could he be the bodyguard for this internationally renowned philanthropist?!
"Tony Chun and Sun ZhengGang are both famous tough guys in the underworld!"
"They actually showed up in Kowloon Walled City with Black Tiger A-Fu…"
"Looks like Kowloon Walled City is about to change!"
The crowd couldn't help but murmur among themselves.
The supercriminals who had concealed their identities were instantly terrified.
They were afraid of attracting Fu Hongfa's attention!
"You all."
"…Don't seem too convinced?"
The burly and imposing Black Tiger A-Fu stated in a voice that exuded authority, "Anyone who wants to challenge me, come one at a time."
"I love stomping on scrubs!"
Gulp!
His Adam's apple bobbed.
The Xing Hong Society thug collapsed directly onto the ground.
He was utterly terrified of Black Tiger A-Fu.
After all, a man's reputation precedes him!
"Brother Fu Hongfa!"
"Long time no see, how have you been?"
"I still remember your kindness, sir!"
Scarface Qiang said with a fawning smile.
Just like a yes-man sucking up to his master!
"Oh?"
The sudden reversal completely shocked Xiao Yu's parents!
Just who was this incredibly important person their daughter had managed to get involved with?
"Let's go."
Xiao Yu pushed her parents towards the limited edition Rolls-Royce Phantom parked nearby.
"A-Fu."
"Kowloon Walled City is in your hands."
Shen Du smiled.
At this moment, everyone finally understood!
It turned out that Black Tiger A-Fu's employer wasn't the Taiwanese tycoon, Basa Chang.
It was the unassuming, yet imposing, young man standing before them!
