Pang Jindong, who was still a child at the time, was powerless to fight against this huge and fierce mafia family, and was almost sold to an underground black factory as a coolie. It was only because of Uncle Benjamin's interference that Pang Jindong embarked on the path of mercenary, exchanging blood for money to repay this debt.

Later, a 47-year-old FBI agent successfully infiltrated the Gambino mafia, went undercover for 2 years, and collected a lot of criminal evidence. In March 2005, based on the information he provided, the FBI launched a lightning raid that wiped out 32 senior members, including Godfather Arnold Squetieri. But for Pang Jindong, this is just belated justice.

Pang Jindong sometimes thinks about what he would be like today if he hadn't come to this city, or if the trajectory of his life hadn't been changed so dramatically by this city.

The plane landed steadily at JFK International Airport, and the passengers stepped out of the cabin one by one with the charming smile of the stewardess. Pang Jindong followed behind, keeping a long distance from the other passengers. Subconsciously, Pang Jindong wanted to delay as much time as possible and set foot on the land of New York later.

The ancients wrote: "The hometown is more timid, and I dare not ask the visitor." ”

Pang Jindong has come here again in a dream more than once, but he can't tell if it's a nightmare or a sweet dream. When this land was really under his feet, New York, which was not his hometown, made Pang Jindong hesitate and hesitate more than when he went home.

For a moment, Pang Jindong prayed that it was still a dream.

The stewardess noticed Pang Jindong's appearance, walked over and asked with concern, "Sir, are you uncomfortable?"

"It's okay!" Pang Jindong smiled and waved his hand, speeding up his pace.

Step out of the cabin and feel the air of New York. I got off the gangway and finally set foot on New York soil again. Pang Jindong sighed and asked himself in his heart: "Is it really back again......

Pang Jindong looked back, the plane that brought him here from the motherland will soon fly back to the motherland. Pang Jindong secretly sighed to himself, how good it would be if he could be like this plane.

"I don't know when I'll go back...... Pang Jindong joined the flow of people at the airport, and suddenly made up his mind: "I will definitely go back!"

After settling in the hotel, Pang Jindong did not immediately contact Agent House, because there was an old rain that Pang Jindong was more eager to see.

This person is Uncle Benjamin who let Pang Jindong embark on the road of mercenary, although he is called "uncle", but the relationship between Pang Jindong and him is more like a year-old friend.

In the past, Pang Jindong was grateful to this old black man who saved him. However, since Agent Thompson went to China and told that Benjamin was using himself, and that there was another hidden reason for the death of his parents, Pang Jindong's gratitude has quietly undergone some changes.

Pang Jindong didn't believe Agent Thompson's words, which was not a rational judgment, but an emotional need. Pang Jindong, who returned to his usual life, did not want to believe that his past life was still unfinished. Therefore, although recalling some clues revealed by some things, which did verify Agent Thompson's words, Pang Jindong was still unwilling to face it.

But when Agent House says the same thing, and he sets foot on New York soil again, the question can no longer be avoided, and Pang Jindong needs Benjamin to explain it.

At the same time, Pang Jindong realized that after he returned to China, he had been living in memories of the past. Maybe standing up again and bravely facing the past can allow you to break through the barriers of memory.

It's just that despite this, Pang Jindong still prays that this meeting between himself and Benjamin is just a reminiscence, and will not be mixed with anything else.

New York has five major boroughs, of which Brooklyn is the largest and most populous. If the districts of New York are independent cities, then Brooklyn is the third most populous city after Los Angeles and Chicago, and the fourth largest city in country M. It has given birth to NBA star Michael Jordan, Hollywood movie director Woody Allen, boxing champion Tyson, talk show celebrity Larry King and other celebrities.

The streets of Brooklyn are neatly laid out like a chessboard, and many street names are named with numbers, so if you get lost, it won't be hard to find. The iconic sight here is the Brooklyn Bridge, and in an alley near the bridge, Benjamin runs a boxing club.

As a former black ghetto, it was once the area with the highest crime rate in country M due to the low education level, employment difficulties and racist discrimination, and was regarded as the original place of chaos, dirt and crime. Although the situation has improved, it is still the place with the highest number of blacks and other minorities in all of M, and the crime rate remains high.

Pang Jindong walked into a small street, which was very deserted and there were few pedestrians. The surrounding buildings are very dilapidated, and many of the walls have fallen off and become mottled. Some of the intact walls are covered in graffiti, some are gangs marking this place as their own, some are slogans promoting their own ideas, and some are pure troublemakers.

Unlike psoriasis, which is full of permits, treatments, and medicines in domestic cities, graffiti is also disgusted in country M, but at the same time it is also a culture. People who don't have a little art skills don't dare to join this industry. From a sensory point of view, these graffiti, in terms of complexity and artistry, far surpass the domestic blackboard newspapers.

In addition, the place is very clean, the ground seems to have been freshly washed with water, and there is very little garbage to be seen, let alone the gray soil that is common in northern cities in China.

There is a small three-story building on this street, and in Pang Jindong's memory, there will be a neon sign here - "Benjamin Boxing Club". It is said to be a boxing club, but in fact it is just a training gym with a large venue but a very ordinary environment. It was here that Pang Jindong took his first step to become a mercenary.

But when Pang Jindong found here, the signboard had been replaced by something else.

Pang Jindong slowly pushed open the door and found that this was still a boxing training hall. Probably because of the black neighborhood nearby, it was all black. Pang Jindong's Asian face appears here, which is undoubtedly very conspicuous.

When the blacks who were chatting and training saw Pang Jindong, they stopped one after another and cast unfriendly glances at Pang Jindong.

Two black men walked over and stopped in front of Pang Jindong, and one of them asked coldly, "What's the matter with you?"

Perhaps due to racial factors, as long as the black race has enough nutrition and a certain amount of training, it is easy to grow tall and strong. The height of these two black men is more than 1.90 meters, and their muscles are so sharp that they seem to be blown up. Although Pang Jindong was strong enough, he still seemed to be weak in front of them. It's just that they're still worse than Barney.

Pang Jindong smiled and replied, "I'm looking for Uncle Benjamin!"

"Benjamin......" The two negroes looked at each other, and the person who questioned him replied, "I haven't heard of it!"

"This used to be his club, I wonder where he went?"

"I don't know!" a black man waved his hand and said impatiently, "All right, get out at once!"

Pang Jindong still stood still in the distance, and told the other party: "Please ask the boss, maybe he knows!"

These blacks rarely have a stable job, and the rest of the day is basically muddy except for constantly exercising themselves, or eating, drinking, and having fun. Some of them would dream of being a boxer, or an NBA star, but only a few. Compared to the Chinese, who are also a minority and only know how to make money every day, these blacks seem lazy, or more willing to enjoy life.

As you can imagine, such people tend to be people with high crime rates. A considerable number of young people among them rely on illegal and criminal activities to obtain a source of livelihood. Coupled with drug addiction and a brave and aggressive temperament, the average Chinese or other Asian will hide away when they see them.

But Pang Jindong was different, standing face to face with them without fear. Perhaps out of appreciation for this kind of courage, the black man softened his tone a little and said to Pang Jindong: "Wait!"

After a while, the black man came back and told Pang Jindong: "The boss said that he cashed it here a year ago, he doesn't know Benjamin, and the original boss is not called Benjamin." ”

"So, Uncle Benjamin should have left here earlier......." Pang Jindong muttered, and then told the black man: "Thank you!"

When Pang Jindong officially became a mercenary, Benjamin thoughtfully told him: "I have already done everything I can do for you, we have no relationship, and we should no longer have contact." Because we belong to two worlds from now on, and I don't want to go back to your world. ”

Thinking back to Benjamin's words now, Pang Jindong feels that there are some other things in it, and he didn't realize it at the time.

Since then, Pang Jindong and Uncle Benjamin have indeed never met again, nor have they had any contact. Whether in the sweltering South American jungle or the dry and hot North African desert, Pang Jindong can only wish in his heart that this old black man who helped him can live the second half of his life happily.

Now Pang Jindong has to find another way to find Benjamin.

Even though Benjamin is no longer here, the gym is still what it used to be, with some marks on the walls and pillars and peeling paint, as if it were exactly the same as it was ten years ago. It was in the middle of the ring that Pang Jindong learned the most practical and ferocious fighting techniques in the world.

Full of memories of the past, Pang Jindong left the boxing gym. When I went out, I looked at the street, and it was not much different from ten years ago, but it was no longer human.

"The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year. Pang Jindong sighed.

Pang Jindong's mobile phone rang at this time, and after picking it up, he realized that the other party turned out to be Xiao Aisen: "Hey, Jerry, I'm so glad you're in country M!"

Pang Jindong sighed: "Your news is very well-informed!"

"Don't forget that I have undercover agents with Director Anderson. ”

"Oh!" Pang Jindong just replied and didn't say anything more.

"Just now I was worried that if you change your contact information after you arrive in country M, then I won't be able to find you. I'm glad you still use your phone in country Z. ”

"I'm transferring all calls from home to mobile phones in your country. ”

"You're really clever so that no one can track you to your location via a mobile phone signal. ”

Pang Jindong smiled and said, "But it costs a lot of phone bills!"

After a moment of silence, little Eisen asked, "Can I meet you?"

Pang Jindong shrugged his shoulders and asked, "You don't want to catch up with me, right?"

"I'd certainly love to have some light-hearted conversation with you, no matter what the topic is. But the current situation probably does not allow such an opportunity. ”

"What kind of situation?"

"You just buy a newspaper. Sighing, little Eisen continued, "If I'm not mistaken, you're here to assassinate Councilor Levi. ”

Pang Jindong quipped: "Are you going to call the police to arrest me?"

Little Aisen replied: "I'm not so naïve, the matter on the political zhì needs to be solved by means, not handed over to the law." ”

"So what are your political methods?"

"I hope you can change your mind. ”

"Mark ......" Pang Jindong sighed and said slowly: "Since you have an undercover agent by Director Anderson's side, you should know that the lives of my brothers are in his hands. And they are not as lucky as Barney to be rescued by you in time. ”

"I can also find a way to help you this time!"

"Mark, I appreciate you, but I don't have to. Sighing again, Pang Jindong told Xiao Aisen: "When Director Anderson kidnapped Barney, he only sent a few agents, but this time he used the Delta Force to directly attack our base. Last time, it was just Barney alone, but this time it was nine, and there was a clear time limit to complete the mission. I believe they are being closely guarded, and if there is any other way, I will get them out myself. ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect the situation to be so complicated. I should believe that your mercenary group is more powerful than I am. ”

"I don't want to be taken advantage of, but Director Anderson won't give up without a close to this. ”

"But the assassination of Senator Revy will have very serious consequences!"

"I know, but there's no other option. ”

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and Director Anderson is your and my common enemy, and Senator Revi's, and we should ......"

Pang Jindong interrupted Xiao Aisen's words: "I'm sorry, Mark, I have my own plan. ”

"Once again, I hope you'll turn your guns on Director Anderson. ”
