The leader of the comic world

1943, New York, Chinatown.

Chen Mansion.

The servants had just gotten up, and the sound of crackling wooden piles could already be heard in the yard.

Under the tree, in front of the wooden mannequin, the man rolled up his sleeves and practiced boxing there, dripping with sweat.

The delicate face is full of coldness and perseverance, and the eyes reveal a maturity that belies his age.

"Master, it's not good." At this time, the girl hurried to the yard.

Seeing that the maid looked uneasy, the man frowned slightly and said slowly: "I understand."

The maid looked at the young master who walked towards the master's room unhurriedly. She felt a little more afraid of this young master with a cold nature. The master was critically ill, but her son was so calm.

In a room of Chen Mansion, Chen Xutai, who was dying on the hospital bed, saw Chen Qi come in and said feebly: "You all should go out. I have something to talk to Qi'er."

Chen Ningci, the second son on the side, had his face alternately clear and gloomy after hearing this. He had been helping his father with the business since he was thirteen years old. The shopkeepers of the Chen Mansion were optimistic about him inheriting the Chen Mansion. However, since he was a child, his father only had eyes for him. Chen Qi, that bastard with no knowledge and skills, a cold nature, who only knows how to practice martial arts, is about to die now, but he is allowed to go out. Do you want to give Chen Qi the position of the head of the Chen Mansion?

The servants all left the room, but Chen Ningci clenched his fists and remained still.

"Ningji, you go out too." Chen Xutai glanced at his son.

"Father" Chen Ningci raised his voice unwillingly.

"Don't you listen to what I say?" Chen Xutai knew that she didn't have much time, so her tone contained some orders.

Chen Ningci looked resentfully at Chen Qi, who had an expressionless face and didn't call his father when he came in, and left the house.

Seeing Chen Ningci leaving, Chen Xutai tried his best to sit up, as if he wanted to salute Chen Qi.

"No need." Chen Qi said lightly and sat next to Chen Xutai.

After a moment, Chen Xutai spoke.

"Master, I can no longer serve you. I am guilty."

Chen Qi's cold eyes flashed with a hint of tenderness: "You are from the Chen family, you should rest."

Hearing the words "You are from the Chen family", Chen Xutai burst into tears. This was the greatest compliment to him.

"Young Master, my ancestors have served the Chen family for three generations. Now that this generation is here, I'm afraid Neci won't be willing to do it anymore." Chen Xutai said slowly.

"It doesn't matter." Chen Qijing said, how could he not know Chen Ningci's resentment towards him.

Then, Chen Xutai took out a bronze key from one side and handed it to Chen Qi: "Master, this is the owner's key of Chen Mansion."

Chen Qi did not take it directly: "You shouldn't give this to me." Chen Qi understood very well that in the eyes of outsiders, Chen Ningci should take over the Chen Mansion, and Chen Qi would only bring trouble if he took the key. Unnecessary trouble, he is an ignorant guy, not to mention he has no interest in Chen Mansion.

Chen Xutai sighed: "Without you, how could I, a steward of the Chen Mansion, establish the Chen Mansion in the United States? The one who has been working hard behind the scenes is the young master."

"You should give it to Ningci." Chen Qi said slowly. He took the key. Chen Ningci must try his best to snatch it. He didn't want to waste time on Chen's mansion in the future.

Seeing that Chen Qi had made up his mind, Chen Xutai used his last strength to suddenly climb out of bed and kowtow.

Chen Qi did not stop the old man.

"Please forgive my selfishness, old slave." Chen Xutai's forehead was blood red after he knocked.

"Tell me." Chen Qi guessed a thing or two. Faced with an old man who was loyal to the Chen family, since he accepted this deathbed bow, he should agree to his request.

"Ningji is a child with great ambitions but little talent. He is indecisive. He is fine with small things, but he is prone to make wrong decisions when it comes to big things. And the shopkeeper under Chen Mansion is like a wolf and a tiger. When I leave, if there is no one to take charge of the overall situation, I am afraid," Chen Xutai said After that, kowtow again.

At this time, Chen Qi held her in his arms, thinking that Chen Xutai had contributed greatly to the Chen family's hard work, and Chen Qi would agree to one of his requests, but he would never accept the second request because he would not agree to both of the other's requests.

Chen Qi helped Chen Xutai up and promised: "As long as I am here, Chen Ningci will have a shelter."

"Thank you, Master." Chen Xu was relieved when he saw Chen Qi taking the key.

"Master, there is a secret box in the vault. It was given to you by me when you were thirty years old. I can't wait for that day. It was because of it that the Chen family was exterminated by the warlord." Chen Xutai said slowly.

After hearing this, Chen Qi's calm eyes were shaken for the first time. He glanced at Chen Xutai, suppressed his anger and left the room.

It was the first time that Chen Xutai saw Chen Qi's angry eyes towards him and sighed: "Sure enough, all the little calculations can't be hidden from the young master."

In Chen Qi's eyes, the reason why Chen Xutai told him about the secret box at the end was because as long as he did not promise to give Chen Ningci a shelter, Chen Xutai would trade the secret box to make him agree. As a father, Chen Xutai knew Chen Ningci's character very well. He knew that after his death, Chen Ningci would definitely offend Chen Qi, and Chen Qi, who had a cold nature, did not mind eradicating his enemies. In order to protect Chen Ningci, he served Chen Qishi For the first time in several years, Chen Xutai became interested in her master.

And Chen Qi is a person who values ​​​​commitment.

Chen Qi came to the Bank of America in New York.

Here, Chen Mansion has a private safe, which is their treasury.

With the owner's key and the reserved fingerprint, Chen Qi came to the safe and opened it.

Looking at the secret box in front of him, Chen Qi's expression was solemn as never before.

The Chen family was destroyed because of it.

He fled from China to New York, kept his name anonymous, and practiced boxing every day for ten years, just for revenge and to revive the Chen family.

According to family history, the Chen family is an ancient martial arts family inherited from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the Republic of China. There have been many declines and periods of prosperity in the family history, but they have never been destroyed.

Until Chen Qi's generation, the secrets of ancient martial arts were coveted by a certain warlord. Chen Qi did not know the real name of the mastermind behind the scenes. He only knew that he was called the King of the Central Plains and his honorific title was "The Mandarin".

Chen Qi opened the secret box heavily. Inside was half a tiger talisman and a letter. The tiger talisman was engraved with pre-Qin inscriptions. What amazed him was that after all these years, this tiger talisman was still extremely smooth.

Chen Qi opened the envelope and found his father's handwriting.

"Son, when you read this letter, it proves that you are safe."

Chen Qi felt warm in his heart. After so many years, he felt family affection again. Although he and Chen Xutai were like father and son, secretly one was the master and the other was a domestic servant.

"In the pre-Qin period, martial arts flourished, and the ancestors of the Chen family had unparalleled martial arts skills and served at the side of the First Emperor. In his later years, the First Emperor ordered him to go overseas to search for the elixir of immortality, where he met an alchemist who practiced Qi on the Immortal Island. The alchemist met the ancestors of the Chen family and gave him spiritual objects. , the Huntian Tiger Talisman. And the various martial arts of the ancestors of the Chen family were carved into the Huntian Tiger Talisman using metaphysics and secret techniques. With the blood of the Chen family, one can open the Huntian Tiger Talisman and learn the martial arts in it to ensure that the ancient martial arts of the Chen family will never be lost. The family will never fail.”

"Mysticism and secret arts, the martial arts of the ancestors of the Chen family." Chen Qi looked at the tiger talisman in his hand. No wonder the Mandarin wanted to seize it. It was rumored that the king of the Central Plains could give up the throne at his fingertips in order to study metaphysics and secrets. In the eyes of the Mandarin, this tiger charm is more tempting than the martial arts of the ancestors of the Chen family.
