Chapter 9 The Old Butler

"Your kung fu is not bad, you can stay in the martial arts hall." Chen Mo sorted out some messy clothes and said to the few people lying on the ground.

As soon as they heard that they could stay, several people couldn't help but be overjoyed.

"I don't care who you were in Huaxia before. From now on, you are the instructors of this martial arts hall. When you are with me, you must abide by my rules." Speaking of which, Chen Mo looked at them seriously and said solemnly. , "I don't want someone to be kicked out by myself one day!"

These people are all boxers who smuggled into the United States from China to escape the war. They can't speak English, and they have no skills other than kung fu. They can only make a living by working as coolies on the dock.

In order to improve his fighting skills, Chen Mo specially recruited a group of boxers who had just arrived in the United States and were worried about their livelihood, and selected four of the best kung fu.

After all, it will be his own hands in the future. Chen Mo's actions are still measured. Several people quickly stood up and saluted Chen Mo with their fists. They looked at him with respect and gratitude.

"Many thanks to the owner of the museum! Rest assured, the owner of the museum, I will not disappoint the owner of the museum!"

Several people's answers were loud and clear.

These boxers can be regarded as local figures in China, and they are somewhat arrogant, but the experience they have experienced during the time they came to the United States has already made them let go of their arrogance and arrogance. In this war-torn world, they can live and feed themselves and their families. belly, they are already content.

Chen Mo was able to take them in when they were the most difficult and helpless. He was their benefactor. Those who practice martial arts are the most important. in return.

Moreover, the warriors respect martial arts. Chen Mo is so young and his strength is far above them. Although his skills are a little rough, with a little time, he will definitely become stronger and reach the level that they can only look up to. How can they not be filled with reverence.

Seeing the expressions of several boxers in his eyes, Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction. They were all men with real temperaments, but they were useful.

The martial arts hall has three floors.

The third floor is Chen Mo's private area, and others can't go up casually.

The first floor is used as an open area, including the hall, practice room, ring, dressing room and rest area. Several boxers are arranged in several guest rooms on the second floor.

This place is much better than the dirty and dilapidated slum where they lived. Several boxers looked at the spacious and comfortable room in front of them, and an inexplicable warmth filled their hearts. redness.

Being able to open a martial arts hall in New York in a fair and open manner, Chen Mo is naturally no longer a "black family", and the problem of identity is actually very easy to solve.

Hydra has many spies lurking around the world, many of them in high positions. Before leaving Norway, Chen Mo sent his real photos and fabricated identity, and a new identity had been arranged for him, even the US government could not find out any problems.

At the same time, within Hydra, Chen Mo also arranged a new identity for himself. Red Skull's new assistant, a kung fu master from China, will cooperate with Red Skull to complete a secret mission in the United States this time. Of course, his identity is strictly confidential. of.

After coming to New York, Chen Mo transformed himself into a rich Chinese who came to the United States to escape the war. He bought an entire building in Brooklyn at a high price and opened a martial arts gym.

The Red Skull temporarily disappeared from the sight of Hydra. His assistant Chen Mo temporarily took over the affairs of Hydra and conducted remote command, while the base was in charge of Dr. Zola and the new captain of the guard, Major John.

The worship and reverence for the Red Skull has long been deeply rooted in the bones of all Hydra, and no one will have any objection to his orders. Their mission is to obey the will of the leader Red Skull and complete the task given by the Red Skull. After the cleaning, there was no other sound.

The brief disappearance of the Red Skull did not cause any confusion in Hydra,

The base construction and various researches are proceeding step by step, and Dr. Zola's research on the Rubik's Cube has also made progress.

After leaving the practice room, Chen Mo walked to the sofa by the window, sat down, and took the towel from the old housekeeper standing beside him.

"Eddie, are you still used to living here?" Chen Mo wiped his hands and handed the towel to the housekeeper. At this time, he was standing in front of Chen Mo, wearing a well-fitting dark gray suit and neatly combed white hair. The old man with a gentle and kind expression on his face was Eddie Albert, who taught Chen Mo German and painting for a month in Liverpool.

"It's very good here, the bed in the room is very comfortable." Old Albert said in his flat, gentle voice.

Before Chen Mo came to the United States, he remembered the old Albert who stayed in Liverpool. As the only person in this world who can be regarded as a friend of Chen Mo, Chen Mo still misses him a little. Old Albert of man drawing.

Despite the $10,000 from Chen Mo, Albert's life has not changed much. In addition to renting a cheap house to have a place to live, he also helped some compatriots who were struggling.

Every day I still go to the square to help people paint, but my life is guaranteed, and my health is much better. I often think of the young man who helped him and gave him hope.

When Chen Mo appeared in front of him again, the hand of old Albert who was painting couldn't help shaking, and the painting was almost crooked. Looking at the young man who was smiling and looking at him in front of him, old Albert, who had always been stern, couldn't help but smile.

"Sir, do you want a portrait?" Old Albert asked with a smile.

"Why not?" Staying with old Albert, Chen Mo felt that he was relaxed. He didn't need to think about disguise and defense. He could just relax for a while, enjoy life, and experience the old times of Europe. Cultural customs.

This is the feeling of trust. Although they have not been together for a long time, Chen Mo understands Albert's personality. He is serious and rigorous in his work, optimistic and open-minded, kind and honest. He is a respectable old man who has experienced too much. The ordeal made him look down on life and death, calm and calm. The only time Chen Mo saw him lose his temper was when Chen Mo pretended to be himself. Thinking of the old Albert's doubtful expression at that time, the corners of Chen Mo's mouth could not help but turn up. .

When old Albert finished his work, he started to paint Chen Mo.

"Eddie, I'm going to New York, do you want to go with me?" Chen Mo sat on a wooden chair and kept his posture still.

Old Albert was sketching on the drawing board with a paintbrush in his hand.

"Do you have room and board?"

Chen Mo is always amused by Old Eddie's little sense of humor from time to time. He is a strict gentleman and occasionally makes jokes. No matter how funny or not, Chen Mo can't help laughing. It was here that Old Albert was paid a daily salary by Chen Mo. Ten yuan package of room and board treatment is hired.

"Of course, the daily salary is ten yuan, including room and board." Chen Mo replied with a smile.

"Then congratulations, from today onwards, you have an excellent housekeeper." Old Albert put down his paintbrush, stood up, and bowed gracefully.

It turned out that the old Albert was born in an aristocratic family in East Prussia, Germany. He received aristocratic education since he was a child and was very talented in painting. After the First World War, Albert, who was in the middle of the family, had to make a living by himself. Become the butler of the great nobles.

Until the death of the nobleman, Albert, who was nearly forty years old, decided to leave the castle and bravely pursue his dream to become an artist.

He didn't even think about it himself. After a circle, he ended up going back to his old business and becoming a housekeeper. But he can't think of anything else that can help Chen Mo. He has basically learned his own skills, and now he has this advantage. He can help Chen Mo with logistical affairs and take care of his daily life.

However, his life can be regarded as wonderful. He has enjoyed the luxurious life of aristocrats, experienced the vicissitudes of life, bravely pursued his dreams, and experienced the hardships of sleeping in the wind.

Perhaps, Chen Mo will bring him a more exciting second half of his life.
