Stand User in Marvel Universe Chapter 8: Chinatown

"Then...please cooperate!"

"Happy cooperation!"

. . . . . . . . .

Farewell to the smiling Edward, Dior and Will got back into the second-hand Chevrolet and left, with no one speaking along the way.

It wasn't until he entered New York City that Will resumed his chatty nature and asked, "Where to go? Back to the restaurant?"

Dior was silent for a moment, then said in a slightly lower tone: "Go home!"

The home of the Dior family of three is also in Chinatown, only two blocks away from their small restaurant. Since it is in the same Manhattan as the notorious "Hell's Kitchen", the security is certainly not good, but Chinatown It's in the south end of downtown, but 'Hell's Kitchen' is in West Midtown.

Recalling the memories he had received, Dior knew that his British father came to eat at the restaurant his mother co-operated with her family by chance, and it was love at first sight in the small restaurant left to him.

Then in order to be together, Dior's father gave up his promising future and broke up with his family in England. He was willing to stay in the mixed Chinatown and run a small restaurant with Dior's mother.

In my memory, Dior's father is a very funny and humorous gentleman, but he still has the stubbornness and pride of the British in his bones, and he has a lot of trouble in his eyes, which has made many people hostile.

And don’t think that in Chinatown, the Chinese are really a big family that loves each other. Are you dreaming?

What can’t be done at home, can it be done abroad?

Perhaps at first they really helped each other and worked together to survive in this foreign land, but as Chinatown expanded, it now includes 45 streets, with a total area of ​​more than 4 square kilometers, and a total of more than 800,000 people. Chinese people exist in this land, and the so-called "baotuan" has also changed its nature.

Not to mention that there are many gangs, stabbings in the back and fighting between each other have become commonplace. Maybe the Chinese who have just come here don’t have deep feelings about it, but Dior, who has inherited the memory of living here for more than 20 years, knows it well. I know how terrible these 'fellows' can be when they play cruel tricks.

In fact, if you think about why the expansion is so rapid, you will know. It is impossible not to annex other districts. More and more Chinese are coming to the United States, and when they come, they will come looking for the name of Chinatown. In addition, There are a lot of black households here every year, what should I do?

There are more and more people, and there are Chinese-owned restaurants and convenience stores everywhere. With competition, who can make a lot of money?

Let me tell you the most true thing. When a fellow countryman first arrived in New York, he planned to open a convenience store in Chinatown. As a result, the store was opened, but every day a large number of gang members came to collect protection money and give him money. After one, there will be another. There are at least dozens of famous gangs in Chinatown, and there are countless small gangs. Who can afford it?

Moreover, they are all a group of guys who take money and do nothing. Finally, the fellow was forced to say, I paid money to the XX gang, why do I still have to pay it?

People said, you paid money to the XX gang but didn’t give it to us. Are you looking down on us?

The fellow was angry and refused to give it, but the next day some gang members came to rob him with guns. Okay, if you don’t give it, then we can get it ourselves!

In the end, the store could no longer be opened, and the fellow villager returned home in despair.

This matter seems to be a public security issue in the United States, but these "old people" in Chinatown are all clear-minded. This is an offense. Someone is causing trouble behind the scenes. Otherwise, if everyone acts like this, Chinatown's Business collapsed long ago.

Later, when someone inquired, they found out that the person behind this incident was the owner of a convenience store next to him. It is said that he was from the same hometown as the one who had returned to China. On the day of the opening, he even sent a flower basket with a smile...

So, Chinatown is not as good as the Chinese people imagine. There are warm-hearted good people, and naturally there is no shortage of bad people. (What Lao Wumian tells is all real people. I have relatives in the United States. The water here is very deep. I just want to remind everyone.)

. . . . . . . . . .

Just when Dior was lost in memories, Will turned left and right and came to an old building. It is said that Dior’s grandfather lived here. To this day, he still doesn’t know where it was. True or false.

"Go up?"

"Wait, wait until I finish smoking this cigarette."

With the car window down, Dio threw one to Will, then lit one for himself, and stared outside blankly.

Although the soul in the body has been changed, the memory of 'Dior' for more than 20 years is not false, and there is no need to distinguish it so clearly, so at this time, Dior is a little hesitant.

The time for a cigarette will soon come.

"Let's go."

Pushing open the car door, stamping out the cigarette butts, Dior and Will went upstairs.

During this period, many people greeted Dior, and the underlying meaning behind their words told him to express his condolences and keep an open mind. As for how many of these people were sincere, and how many of them were just watching the fun. It's hard to tell if he's just pretending. ~IndoMTL.com~ He took out the key and opened the door. There seemed to be a smell of gas still inside. There was also a layer of dust on the ground and the table, which looked particularly dilapidated.

How could such a small nest not notice the smell of gas and still fall asleep?

Not to mention that Dior's parents still own restaurants, so they should pay more attention to the hidden dangers in this area.

However, this was just a suspicion. The police also came, but the case was closed with the words "illegal modification of gas pipelines."

Nothing else, it’s just a characteristic of Chinatown, because Americans generally don’t use gas to cook. Many Chinese people will make a lot of jokes when they first come to the United States, such as cooking a dish and attracting a fire truck. This is not some exaggerated joke.

In the house, after walking around alone, Dio came out.

"Don't live here anymore?"

"Well, after walking around, I found that the only thing worth taking away is this photo album. Let the other things stay here." Dior chuckled and raised the photo album in his hand, which recorded their family. Every little bit of the three of them over the years, so he was ready to take them away.

Will nodded indifferently, and then asked: "Then where are you going to live? Rent a house? I still have land there..."

"Thank you, but I plan to stay in the hotel during this period, and it's time to prepare for the opening." Dior immediately rejected Will's proposal. In fact, the place where this guy lives is simply a pig's nest, and From time to time, people from the gang would run over. Even if he didn't have any mysophobia, he didn't despise his best friend in the gang, but it was not the case after all.

And after burying his parents, he will be ready to start his money-making plan. There is nothing wrong with living in a restaurant during this period.
