Chapter 023: Straight to the point

is different from when they first met, after the official entry, Zhang Taibai got along very well with these senior brothers and sisters, and even the eighth senior brother Rex, who was a little dissatisfied with Zhang Taibai's ability to become a closed disciple at the beginning, was basically convinced in the end.

And Zhang Taibai also knows a little bit about the details of these senior brothers and sisters.

Like the eighth senior brother Rex, he is a mixed-race child, his mother is a Chinese immigrant, he is the vice president of the Fujian Chamber of Commerce in New York, runs a chain of Chinese supermarkets, and is famous in Queens; His father, a native white native of New York and the first deputy commissioner of the New York City Police Department, was said to be expected to sit in the position of commissioner after this five-year term.

As for Rex himself, like Zhang Taibai in this world, he was also born and raised in New York and has never been to China. Like his father, Rex is a police officer and also serves in the all-important 'Crime Squad'.

Probably because of his special interest in his mother's hometown, he has been very good at Chinese since he was a child, and has always wanted to learn real Chinese kung fu. That's why he entered the Luofeng Martial Arts Pavilion after a lot of trouble, until he was accepted as a personal disciple.

After learning about the general situation of this eighth senior brother Rex and seventh senior sister Winnie, Zhang Taibai understood why Master Li Luofeng would say that the two of them had a much more complicated background than himself...... The former is not only a rising star in the police world, but also has the father of a first deputy director, and the latter is an executive of the famous 'Stark Industries'.

In comparison, he, a small café owner, is indeed a bit pediatric.

It was precisely because they knew Rex's situation that Zhang Taibai and they wondered how he got injured, and after learning how Rex was injured, they felt more and more that it was not simple.

In terms of apprenticeship time, although Rex is ranked eighth, only one place earlier than Zhang Taibai, he is different from Winnie and Yu Yi, as a police officer, and a member of the 'Serious Crime Team', he is proficient in various fighting techniques. In addition, before he entered the Luofeng Martial Arts Pavilion, he had also learned from many Chinese martial artists, and his foundation was much higher than that of Winnie.

Of course, most of those Chinese martial artists practice just ordinary fist and foot kung fu, without too many real things, and they can't compare with a master like Li Luofeng with a mysterious background.

But after all, Rex can learn something.

With the previous martial arts foundation, coupled with Li Luofeng's training, Rex quickly made a leap in strength after officially becoming a personal disciple, surpassing Hua Tianwen, Yu Yi, and Winnie in one fell swoop, and it was no longer much inferior to Alex.

But according to him, the suspect not only injured him, but also surrounded by a large number of police.

It must be known that the American police are equipped with guns, and they will never be careless when arresting such dangerous suspects who are very likely to be involved in terrorist attacks, but in this case, they were still broken through by that person and injured Rex, which is a bit scary.

"Rex's strength is only higher than Matt, and the guy who can injure him in this situation is definitely beyond the limit of ordinary people." Zhang Taibai thought deeply.

In the eyes of ordinary people in this world, Daredevil like Matt is already considered a 'transcendent'. But Zhang Taibai knows very well that Matt doesn't have any special abilities, at most, all the values of his body are close to the limit of the human body, plus his perception is off the charts.

Rex, who has also been training for many years, will not be weaker than Matt in terms of various physical functions, not to mention that there is a master like Li Luofeng who has mastered true martial arts.

In objective comparison, Rex's strength is definitely stronger than Matt's, and the limit of ordinary people can only reach Matt's level at most, and it is impossible to be stronger than Rex.

So Zhang Taibai and they can conclude that the guy who injured Rex is by no means an ordinary person.

"If that's the case, you don't have to worry about you, Eighth Senior Brother, if I'm not mistaken, this matter is no longer under the control of your 'Serious Crime Team'." After hearing this, Alex's expression widened and he asked with a smile.

"Yes, the above has already explained, so we don't have to continue to investigate, this matter will be taken over by other departments." Rex nodded, confirming Alex's guess, but immediately looked at Alex with a surprised expression, "Fifth Senior Brother, how did you guess, do you ......?"

"I know what you want to say, but as the eighth senior brother, you should know the rules, and there are some things that I don't want to say more." Alex smiled mysteriously.

"I understand, totally understand." Rex nodded quickly, and then said in a somewhat surprised tone, "I really didn't expect you to be one of them, Senior Brother, you really gave me a surprise." ”

Alex laughed without saying a word.

"S.H.I.E.L.D." Seeing that the two of them were playing dumb riddles, Zhang Taibai simply asked straight to the point.

The conversation between the two was actually quite obvious, how could he not guess.

"Huh?"

Alex suddenly looked sideways at Zhang Taibai with a look of surprise.

"Fifth Senior Brother, you don't have to look at me like this, there are actually not so few people who know this name, I estimate that more than half of our senior brothers have heard of it." Zhang Taibai shrugged.

He said it so bluntly, and he wasn't afraid that Alex would suspect anything.

To ordinary people, the existence of 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' may be so secretive that its name cannot even be searched on the Internet. But how can such a huge institution be completely unknown, especially for people with power and money, it is not a secret.

Rex's father is the number two in the New York Police Department, and must have known about the existence of 'S.H.I.E.L.D.'.

In addition to Rex, Zhang Taibai can also conclude that most of the people who also know about 'S.H.I.E.L.D.', including the seventh senior sister Winnie, there are at least three or four. In this case, he didn't bother to continue to listen to Alex and them play dumb riddles, so he simply opened the skylight and said something bright.

Hearing Zhang Taibai say this, Rex also reacted, shook his head and smiled, "What Senior Brother Taibai said is that there are few simple ones among our senior brothers. ”

Alex also nodded, relieved, "Okay, it's me who is overthinking. ”

Only the sixth senior brother Yu Yi was confused when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What are you talking about, what is 'S.H.I.E.L.D.', is it a department of the government?" ”

Hearing Yu Yi's question, Zhang Taibai glanced at Alex.

"Say what you want, just if I'm not here, you didn't know it from me anyway, I didn't break the rules." Alex said.

Zhang Taibai smiled when he heard this, and then recalled, "S.H.I.E.L.D. is an abbreviation, and its full name is Strategic.Homeland.Intervention, Enforcement.and.Logistics.Division, which is a special department with the responsibility of protecting all mankind, mainly dealing with incidents related to 'extraordinary power'. ”

"Is there such a department? So why I've never heard of it before. Yu Yi asked in surprise.

"This is a secret department, and it deals with some secret events, so it is rarely exposed to the public." Zhang Taibai continued, "But there are many events with their shadows behind them, such as the earth-shattering battle over New York a year ago. ”

Yu Yi was amazed again.

"In fact, after the New York War, there were more and more 'transcendents' who came from the underground to the front...... In my estimation, it will be very difficult for S.H.I.E.L.D. to continue to hide in the shadows like this. Zhang Taibai said, looking at Alex again.
