If before coming to this world, if he heard a girl of Skye's age molesting him like this, Zhang Taibai would probably directly beat him into the ranks of bad girls.

But this is New York, the world-famous 'city that never sleeps'.

Although he and Skye are both Chinese and have studied Chinese, they are both natives and out-and-out New Yorkers. In contrast, they are indeed more Western-like in many ways.

Zhang Taibai also knew this, so he scolded with a smile, "You girl is bold now, even you dare to use it with me, I think you have itchy skin!" ”

"Cut, you're reluctant to hit me!" Skye was half-hung on Zhang Taibai's body, and the threat to him was completely inappropriate, and continued to whisper in Zhang Taibai's ear in that frivolous tone, "Or, I'll help Brother Taibai?" We're not brothers and sisters anyway, hehe-hee-"

Although he knew that Skye was joking with himself, Zhang Taibai's heartbeat intensified, and his breathing became a little heavier...... In order to hide the embarrassment, Zhang Taibai coughed dryly and said, "When you Taibai brother and I started to fall in love, your little girl hadn't developed yet, and you dared to tease me, I don't think you want to have a big meal, right?" ”

"Okay, I'm wrong, can't I, huh!" Skye pursed her lips, looking like she was upset that Zhang Taibai was threatening her with a big meal.

"Let's go, then, go down and say hello to Old Earle." Zhang Taibai said with a smile.

……

Skye stayed with Zhang Taibai for three days before leaving again.

Needless to say, she naturally embarked on the arduous road of tracking down 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' once again.

But this time, Zhang Taibai didn't stop him, because as he said, everyone has the right to choose their lifestyle, and Skye is the same.

Besides, even if he could really convince Skye to give up his plan to track down 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' for the time being, Zhang Taibai probably wouldn't do that.

Skye's background is destined to be involved in right and wrong sooner or later.

Rather than being unprepared and passively involved, it may be better to let her find the answers on her own, at least she can learn how to protect herself in the process.

In the evening, the sun sets.

"Good luck, girl—"

Standing by the bedroom window and looking down, he saw Skye's small broken van drifting away, and Zhang Taibai said to himself with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Walking to the bed, Zhang Taibai took out the 'big sword' from under the bed.

Immediately after, he removed the guitar case hanging there from the wall next to him, laid it flat on the bed and opened it, and took out the coffee-colored acoustic guitar inside.

The bottom of the guitar case is a black sponge, and when you put the 'Great Sword' in it and then put the acoustic guitar back in its place, it instantly covers the 'Great Sword' and makes it completely invisible.

"It's time to validate what you've gained over the past two months."

Cover the guitar case, Zhang Taibai put it on his back and walked out.

It was rare for Skye to come once, and Zhang Taibai must have accompanied him throughout the whole process, but because of this, he didn't have time to verify the power that the 'Great Sword' can exert with the "Taibai Sword Codex".

Now, it's time to validate –

*************

There are five boroughs in New York City: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island.

Of these five boroughs, the most prosperous is undoubtedly the Borough of Manhattan.

Wall Street, known as the 'financial center of the world', is located in Manhattan, not to mention the world-famous landmarks such as the 'Empire State Building', 'Rockefeller Center' and so on.

If Manhattan is the brightest side of New York, then the Bronx is the opposite of Manhattan and represents the darkest side of New York.

The crime rate in the Bronx is among the top three in the country.

When it comes to the Bronx, the image that comes to everyone's mind is the same – high crime, high unemployment, poverty, chaos, danger...... These negative words, without exception, can be used very appropriately in the Bronx.

Ironically, despite the Bronx's notoriety that tourists are afraid to run there, the government rarely mentions the Bronx's problems.

Because the majority of the Bronx's residents are African-Americans and Latino-Americans, it is better to say less and make fewer mistakes in a politically correct environment.

"Here...... Is it really still New York? Sitting in the car on the side of the road, looking at the slightly dilapidated neighborhood scene outside the car window, Zhang Taibai couldn't help but be amazed.

Whether it was him in his previous life or in this world, he had never been to this Bronx district, which is known as the 'ghetto', so he looked like a stranger.

It may sound incredible, but it's normal.

Many New Yorkers born outside the Bronx have never been here, because objectively speaking, the Bronx and the outside are two worlds.

"If I'm not mistaken, the area where Luke Cage, who has the nickname of Wonder Man, will be very close to here in the future......" Thinking of the chaos in the Bronx, Zhang Taibai couldn't help but think of the superhero Luke Cage who lived in a black neighborhood.

The Harlem neighborhood where Luke Cage lives is an area located on the border of Manhattan and the Bronx. Although administratively part of Manhattan, the neighborhood structure is similar to that of the Bronx, with a predominantly African-American and Latino population, and a chaotic population.

Zhang Taibai's location at this time is actually not too far from the Harlem neighborhood.

"I'll go, so fast!"

Just as Zhang Taibai was sighing at the dilapidated streets of the Bronx, there was a sturdy figure at the fork in front of him!

Thanks to Zhang Taibai, after he began to practice 'Taibai Sword Qi', all aspects of his body functions have been greatly improved, including his eyesight, so he can roughly see the appearance of that healthy shadow.

If you want to be an ordinary person, you can probably only see a black shadow flashing by, and you may even think that you are dazzled.

But Zhang Taibai was very sure that he was not mistaken, not only that, but he also saw the dress of the orthodox shadow clearly-

"It can't be that guy......" Zhang Taibai had a code name in his mind, "but the problem is, this shouldn't be his range of activities, right?" ”

Zhang Taibai was suddenly not so sure.

"Yes or no, just take a look at it, maybe you can have the opportunity to try my brother's 'big sword'!" After a little thought, Zhang Taibai made a decision.

After taking out a mask from the storage compartment at the front of the co-pilot, and taking out the 'big sword' from the guitar case in the back seat of the car, Zhang Taibai quickly got out of the car and chased in the direction where the figure disappeared.

……

In the dark alleys, the lights are dim.

A man in a blood-red half-hooded uniform slowly walked into the alley.

At the end of the alley across from him, a man in a purple suit stood with his hands in his hands, looking at him with a smile on his face.

There were several subordinates around the man in the purple suit, each holding a different weapon in his hand, watching the man in the blood-red uniform come with full vigilance, one by one, as if facing a great enemy!

"Oh, my dear old friend! It's been a long time, you miss me so much that you came to see me? The man in the purple suit greeted with a smile.

"I don't have a friend like you!" The man in the blood-red uniform said coldly.

"No, no, no, but then again, I haven't been active in Hell's Kitchen lately, and you're still coming to trouble me, isn't it a bit too deceitful? Well?! The man in the purple suit spread his hands outstretched, still with an elegant smile on his face.

It's just that there is no laughter in his voice, but it is full of murderous intent!

As for what he calls 'Hell's Kitchen', it is the most chaotic and poorest neighborhood in Manhattan, and it was one of the 'ghettos' long ago, and the relationship between 'Hell's Kitchen' and Manhattan is what the Bronx is to New York.

"Purple man, your hands are stained with the blood of innocents, no matter where you run to any corner of the world, I will never let you go!" The blood-red uniformed man's tone was cold.

"Is that so-" The man in the purple suit shook his head for a moment, then shook his head and smiled, "Originally, I was going to give you a face and let go of Hell's Kitchen, New York is so big, I can't afford to fight you in such a small place...... After all, talents like us are the same kind, with abilities far beyond mortals, so why bother to fight to the death for them? ”

"The same kind? Absurd! The man in the blood-red uniform sneered.

"It's ridiculous." The man in the purple suit said in a pitying tone, "How can a poor worm like you, who obviously has abilities far beyond mortals, but can't see himself clearly, be worthy of my purple kind?" I wanted to let you go, but now it seems that I was wrong. ”

"Kill me, is it all this waste you control?" The man in the blood-red uniform said lightly.

"Just try it, on-"

The man in the purple suit smiled and made a gesture.

With his order, four people immediately rushed towards the blood-red uniformed man, and the axes and daggers in his hands attacked the blood-red uniformed man from all directions!

Bang! Bang! Bang! ……

But I saw the blood-red uniformed man flickering and moving in this narrow alley, and in just an instant, he knocked down all four of them, and rushed towards the purple suit man like a cheetah!

There was also a subordinate next to the man in the purple suit, holding a pistol in his hand, and he shot at the fast-attacking man in blood red uniforms in a panic!

But the blood-red man in uniform just quickly dodged a few times, and then came to the purple suit man unscathed, and was about to kick the purple suit man in the face-

At this moment, a figure fell from the sky and punched the blood-red uniformed man!
