"You need to stay here and manage the entire Brooklyn underground force. Without sufficient strength, how can you do that? With your enhanced strength now, I believe you can easily suppress any issues that arise!"
"That way, I can be at ease."
Wang Kun's heart was filled with fervor, his eyes slightly red, but he looked at Chen Mo with unwavering determination.
"Master, rest assured, I will do my utmost to develop and strengthen the Seven Rings Gang!"
"There's no need to focus solely on expansion. Follow the plan I've set, and develop steadily. Don't neglect your own strength. Remember, the Seven Rings Gang is just an external entity; true strength lies within."
"Yes, Master!"
Chen Mo nodded and then looked at the others.
"You don't need to worry. In due time, you will also undergo enhancement."
Although Chen Mo was one of the founders of S.H.I.E.L.D. and had the authority to distribute the Super Soldier Serum, the serum had just been developed, and it hadn't been used within S.H.I.E.L.D. yet. If Chen Mo were to enhance all his trusted subordinates first, it would be too blatant, even if the colonel didn't say anything, Chen Mo himself would feel it was too much.
The reason for enhancing Wang Kun first was because he was about to leave. With just one serum, Chen Mo had no pressure in "abusing his power."
Having completed all the necessary tasks in New York and gained some unexpected rewards, Chen Mo, along with old Albert, Huang Quan, Han Qing, Luo Zhen, and Howard, returned to Europe the next day.
After Chen Mo and the others left, Wang Kun, who took over the Seven Rings Gang, did not move into the more luxurious former Lucian family headquarters, now the Seven Rings Gang's base. Instead, he continued to live in the dojo with his wife and child.
After Chen Mo left, some people who had been forced to submit due to Chen Mo's inhuman strength began to act restlessly. Wang Kun, whose strength had greatly increased after the serum enhancement, suppressed these unstable elements with absolute power, completely taking control of the Seven Rings Gang.
Following Chen Mo's set path, the Seven Rings Gang developed steadily. Once the gang's development was on track, Wang Kun spent most of his time at the dojo, practicing martial arts and shooting daily. When he had free time, he taught his disciples kung fu. He only returned to the headquarters on Green Street to personally handle important matters within the gang.
No ordinary person would imagine that the polite and skilled master of the dojo would be the godfather of Brooklyn's entire underground force.
Years later, a new Chinatown gradually formed around the dojo, and this seemingly ordinary dojo became a sacred place in the hearts of the underground forces in Brooklyn and even all of New York. There, they revered their powerful godfather and many legendary tales.
But the shield hanging in the family council hall reminded them that it was not just a legend.
…
London, England.
After many days of rough seas, Chen Mo and his group finally arrived at the underground base of the Strategic Scientific Reserve.
However, as soon as they returned, Chen Mo had to set off again. He learned from the remaining personnel that Colonel Phillips and Agent Carter had already gone to the Italian front, where Hydra's traces had been found again.
More importantly, "Captain America" Steve Rogers was about to perform a morale-boosting show at the Italian front, and Bucky's 107th regiment had recently been defeated by a sudden Hydra attack, with nearly a hundred men captured.
This familiar situation surprised Chen Mo. He hadn't expected the plot to return to its original trajectory despite his significant interventions.
If nothing unexpected happened, Steve would learn that Bucky might have been captured and, with Carter's help, would fly across the war zone in a plane piloted by Howard, infiltrate the Hydra base, and rescue the captured Allied soldiers.
This battle would showcase his value, earning the recognition of the soldiers and the colonel, making him the true "Captain America"!
Suddenly, Chen Mo turned to look at Howard, who was slumped in a chair, refusing to get up.
"Why are you looking at me? I'm telling you, if you want to go, go yourself. I'm not going anywhere until I've had a few days of rest. I hate sailing!" Seeing Chen Mo's strange look, Howard shouted with a "dead pig not afraid of boiling water" expression.
Despite his enhanced body, the ten days of rough seas had made the seasick Howard miserable. He had vomited so much along the way that he was almost exhausted.
Howard felt like the ground was still rocking beneath him, his head a muddled mess, and he seriously suspected that the serum had amplified his seasickness.
Chen Mo grabbed the feigning Howard and lifted him up, striding out.
"We'll fly."
…
At the Allied camp on the Italian front.
"Are you ready to go beat up Hitler with me?"
Steve stood on stage, wearing a red, white, and blue tight suit resembling the American flag, holding a similarly painted shield, and shouted passionately to the soldiers below.
Steve was a huge star in America, starring in movies, appearing in comics, and performing in stage plays. He was a household name with countless fans.
During his tours across America, the enthusiastic audiences always responded warmly to his questions.
But now, the American soldiers, sitting or standing densely below, including those on tanks and trucks, remained silent, quietly watching him.
The soldiers' lack of response to his prepared lines left Steve momentarily at a loss.
"Alright."
Seeing no response for a long time, Steve continued with his original lines, albeit reluctantly.
"I need a volunteer!"
"We're already volunteers. What do you think we're doing here?" A soldier shouted as soon as Steve finished speaking.
Other soldiers laughed along.
"We want to see the girls perform!" Someone else shouted, and the soldiers cheered in agreement, clearly more interested in the pretty girls than in the "Captain America" who had never been on the battlefield.
"They only dance one number, but…"
"I… I'll try to arrange it." The soldiers' unexpected reactions completely disrupted Steve's rhythm. Having never encountered such a situation, he prepared to leave the stage and let the girls perform.
"Go ahead, sweetheart!"
"Nice boots, fairy!"
The soldiers below continued to tease.
