Chapter 51: Four Years

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and four years had gone by, arriving at 1991, only a few months away from the fall of the giant.

Florida, Orlando.

In the newly emerged Tang Renjie, shouts and the sound of bodies colliding could be heard from time to time inside a martial arts gym.

Passersby frequently cast glances, their eyes full of envy and curiosity.

There was no help for it; Orlando had only developed in recent years, so some things that large cities had didn't exist here. Places like Tang Renjie were established in New York, San Francisco, Washington, and other places, but for Orlando, it was truly a bit fresh. Of course, what they were curious about wasn't this; for them.

Chinese things were, in a sense, somewhat similar to the mysterious things of the Gypsies.

What they were truly curious about was the Chinese Kung Fu inside.

Following the explosion of Bruce Lee's popularity, in the seventies and eighties, America was full of Kung Fu fever, even developing to the point where any Chinese person would be asked if they knew Kung Fu. It was also during this period that a large number of martial arts gyms crossed the ocean to this hot land full of gunpowder smoke.

So, it was no wonder they would look at this place with such curiosity.

Zhenkun Martial Arts Gym.

A youth with a body full of streamlined muscles, without a trace of flabbiness, kicked the two-meter-tall strong man in front of him to the ground, then cupped his hands. "I concede."

Clap, clap, clap!

There was a round of applause.

The fellow disciples surrounding them were all cheering.

"Louis is amazing!"

"Strong!"

"In our gym, besides the master and a few senior brothers, there's probably no one stronger than Louis, right?"

"……"

"Yo, Emma's here? Here to see your little sweetheart again?"

In the corner, a cool-looking girl with long black hair was biting on a lollipop, glancing sideways at the person who spoke.

She didn't speak, just waited quietly.

Soon, Louis, having changed into regular clothes, walked out from inside.

"Let's go."

Emma nodded and followed closely behind Louis.

Behind them, a group of fellow disciples showed envy. Nowadays, Emma's appearance was beautiful, her long black hair was smooth, and that exquisite little face hadn't lost its charm, even appearing more temperamental because of that hint of expressionless coldness. It was only her height that held her back; otherwise, she would be a proper cold and aloof royal sister of the abstinence style.

With such a beauty following Louis around all day, who wouldn't be envious!

In fact, some people had pursued Emma—people in the gym, at school, and nearby. Unfortunately, who knows what was going on, but she didn't give them the time of day, and if she got annoyed, she would even directly use a stun baton; it was simply ferocious.

Of course, what they didn't know was that if it hadn't been for Louis correcting her, what would have been waiting for them wouldn't have been a stun baton; they would have had to see some blood at the very least.

Walking on the street, Louis bought a fried chicken leg to eat. Ever since he started practicing martial arts, his Qi Gong cultivation had accelerated, and the corresponding consumption had also increased; he had to eat high-calorie and high-nutrition things from time to time.

At this time, Emma, who was following beside him, asked, "We're graduating together this year; have you thought about where to go?"

"Lake Land Preparatory School, I guess. I've inquired about that place; it's the largest private school newly established in Orlando in recent years. The teaching staff is good, the school's treatment is also okay, there are various benefits all year round, activities are organized frequently, and many people in terms of academics can get into the top fifty universities."

Louis said casually.

In America, there are 624, 633, and other school systems. Louis was in the 624 system: six years of elementary school, two years of middle school, and four years of high school, then entering university.

And because of his excellent studies before, he skipped a grade and became a classmate with Emma, so although he was only twelve years old this year, he would also be entering high school with Emma.

"By the way, Yulunka isn't planning to come back recently; she's probably still lording it over others in school."

"Oh~ notify her and tell her to transfer."

Emma nodded knowingly, the corners of her mouth curling up pleasantly. She said this on purpose, digging a hole; wasn't that exactly the result she wanted?

Still wanting to stay away from Louis, hehe, relying on being three years older than me, entering middle school early, and having lived a happy life for almost two years; now it's time to come back to hell, haha!

However, the main goal today wasn't this, and Emma quickly calmed down.

"Louis, today?"

"Hmm, let's go take a look."

Louis and Emma returned home, but didn't go in, instead walking straight to the back mountain, passing the warehouse, and arriving at a dark cave that had been specially renovated and saw no sunlight.

In the bushes outside the cave, some gang members with guns were hidden, but seeing it was Louis, they didn't show themselves.

Walking into the depths of the cave.

A fierce dog, blood-red all over and capable of slapping an ordinary dog to death with one paw, pounced over, then lay prostrate at Louis's feet, its tail wagging wildly.

Louis crouched down and stroked Khorne's dog head a few times. "Alright, I know it's your credit; take your little brothers and guard this place well."

Khorne narrowed its eyes comfortably and nodded quickly.

Emma, who was beside them, always kept her distance. There was no help for it; this giant fierce dog in front of her was not easy to serve, recognizing no one but Louis. Last time, Yulunka had been meddlesome and had almost had her head bitten off.

Dismissing Khorne, Louis brought Emma to the deepest part.

Here, six corpses were placed!

The corpses had obvious Mexican characteristics.

The seven orifices of the faces of these six corpses were covered with talisman paper drawn with red curse words, but some of the corpses looked like they had already collapsed, and something was vaguely swimming under the skin, which looked hair-raising.

What was even more terrifying was the broken skin piled up in the corner like clothes!!

"This one is already considered used up, and I don't know if it succeeded."

Louis crouched down and observed carefully.

Emma's eyes were excited.

Over these few years, Louis had gradually revealed some more bizarre means to her, but after her initial fear, what she felt was a kind of alternative attraction.

Thus, step by step, she joined Louis.

Among that pile of skin nearby were a few drug addicts who had harassed her; she had killed them and sent them to Louis as materials.

At this moment, Louis made a move.

A light tap.

The head collapsed instantly, as if there were no skull.

The collapse of the head seemed to trigger a chain reaction; the neck, torso, and limbs all collapsed.

And the things under the skin were also densely gathering towards the head.

In the blink of an eye, the head that had already collapsed actually bulged, and then slowly withered again. The curse words on the seven blood-red talisman papers began to swim rapidly like tadpoles, and the color also began to fade.

Finally.

The talisman paper dissipated into ash.

The skin of the head split open.

A blood bead, the size of a Buddhist bead and as beautiful and moist as jade, slowly floated out.

Seeing this, Louis showed a satisfied smile, reached out to take it, and inadvertently revealed a blood-colored bracelet on his wrist.
