Chapter 1: Eldest son of the Ni family, ninja assassin Storm Shadow!

1991, New York.

Corleone family estate.

In the spacious and luxurious living room, two men sat opposite each other.

"Ni, are you really determined to leave New York?"

The current Godfather of the Corleone family, Michael Corleone, asked (from the movie *The Godfather*).

Sitting across from him was a man with an elegant temperament and facial features strikingly similar to John Lone, named Ni Yongyao.

"The flight back to Huigang has already been booked; I came today just to bid you farewell."

Ni Yongyao said with a smile.

Ni Yongyao was not from this world. He transmigrated here many years ago and soon discovered this was the Hong Kong film universe.

Furthermore, his identity was the eldest son of the Ni family in Jiandong, whom Ni Kun was grooming with all his might, designating him as the successor.

Ni Yongyao, however, was in no rush to touch the underworld business; instead, he came to the United States for advanced studies, during which he met Michael Corleone, and the two quickly became friends.

Before coming to see Michael Corleone this time, Ni Yongyao had received a call from his second brother, Ni Yongxiao, and learned the news that Ni Kun had been murdered.

"Without you as a friend, life in the future will be dull and tedious."

Michael Corleone shook his head, helplessly raised his wine glass, and said, "But no matter what, our friendship will always remain, and the Corleone family will always be your friend."

"Cheers!"

Ni Yongyao clinked glasses with Michael Corleone and downed the top-tier red wine in one gulp.

He then bid farewell and left.

Walking out of the estate, Ni Yongyao looked toward the east, a flash of ambition appearing in his eyes.

The process of getting to know Michael Corleone had allowed Ni Yongyao to witness the true foundation of an underworld family.

With eyes reaching the heavens, they could turn clouds into rain with a flip of their hands.

In comparison, the scale of the Ni family in Jiandong was still too small.

Returning to Huigang this time, Ni Yongyao would not only take over the Ni family but also build it into the number one clan in Hong Kong.

And he himself would be the Godfather of Hong Kong!

"Ding!"

"Detected that the host is ambitious, binding the Killing God System!"

"The host can obtain gold coins by killing directly or indirectly."

"Gold coins can be used to redeem assassins, or randomly draw high-level assassins, special skills, mysterious items..."

"Newcomer gift pack obtained, do you wish to open it?"

A series of prompts suddenly appeared in Ni Yongyao's mind.

"The transmigration welfare has finally arrived?"

A smile appeared on the corner of Ni Yongyao's mouth, and he chose to open it without hesitation.

"Newcomer gift pack is opening..."

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining: One hundred gold coins! Four-star assassin: Storm Shadow!"

"Tip: Assassins are divided into one-star, two-star, three-star, four-star, and five-star."

"Tip: When the host redeems a high-star assassin, they will randomly obtain one skill from that assassin."

Seeing the three words "Storm Shadow," Ni Yongyao's eyes lit up instantly.

Storm Shadow comes from the movie *G.I. Joe*, a ninja assassin who has received professional training since childhood, with terrifying strength.

Now that Ni Yongyao is returning to Hong Kong, he will inevitably face all kinds of open and hidden arrows; Storm Shadow has arrived at just the right time.

The next moment, a flash of light and shadow flickered, and a figure appeared out of thin air in front of Ni Yongyao.

[Name: Storm Shadow]

[Profession: Ninja]

[Height: 177cm]

[Specialties: Sword techniques, shuriken, Turtle Breathing Technique]

Storm Shadow, in a white windbreaker with two samurai swords on his back, knelt on one knee toward Ni Yongyao.

With a cold expression, he said in a low voice, "Master."

Assassins redeemed through the system are not only instilled with a worldview and absolute loyalty to Ni Yongyao, but are also granted language mastery, capable of speaking multiple languages.

"Get up, call me Mr. Ni from now on."

Ni Yongyao looked Storm Shadow up and down and said slowly.

"Yes, Mr. Ni."

Storm Shadow stood up and respectfully came behind Ni Yongyao, while his eyes vigilantly scanned the surroundings, checking for any danger.

Ni Yongyao noticed this scene, nodded slightly, and thought to himself that it was professional.

With Storm Shadow, Ni Yongyao's personal safety was greatly guaranteed.

"Congratulations to the host for obtaining Master-level Sword Mastery through Storm Shadow!"

Along with the system prompt, Ni Yongyao felt a warmth flow through his body.

Immediately following, a vast amount of experience regarding sword techniques surged into his mind, as if he had practiced countless times.

Ni Yongyao casually drew the long sword from Storm Shadow's back and swung it around with ease, his movements extremely fluid, as if it were an extension of his own arm.

"Good sword."

Ni Yongyao felt the subtlety of the master-level sword technique and tossed the long sword back to Storm Shadow.

He then turned his thoughts to the other item in the newcomer gift pack.

One hundred gold coins.

"Tip: One hundred gold coins can be used for one lucky draw."

"Tip: Redeeming a one-star assassin requires one gold coin, a two-star assassin ten gold coins, a three-star assassin one hundred gold coins, and a four-star assassin one thousand gold coins."

"Tip: Five-star assassins can only be obtained through special missions and cannot be redeemed with gold coins."

After reading the system prompts, Ni Yongyao pondered for a moment.

After returning to Hong Kong, Ni Yongyao would need enough reliable manpower to help him control the Ni family.

One-star assassins were the most suitable.

Redeeming a few two-star assassins to lead some one-star assassins would make them easier to control.

As for the lucky draw, Ni Yongyao would not consider it for the time being.

After all, he only had one hundred gold coins; if he didn't draw anything good, it would undoubtedly be a waste of time.

"It won't be too late to redeem them after returning to Hong Kong."

If he redeemed them now, having too many people would be eye-catching, and transporting them back would be a hassle.

That afternoon.

Ni Yongyao took Storm Shadow and boarded the plane back to Huigang.

The next day.

Hong Kong International Airport.

As Ni Yongyao walked out of the airport, he saw a man in a gray suit leaning against a car; it was the Ni family's second son, Ni Yongxiao.

"Big brother, it's good that you're back."

Ni Yongxiao stepped forward and gave Ni Yongyao a hug.
