Kai arrived in Los Angeles on the third day. This time, he was the only one going to Los Angeles. As for Kelly and the others, they needed some time. After all, there were still many things to deal with in Chicago, such as Kelly's studies and the house in Chicago. →

According to Kai's idea, the original house should be sold. Anyway, it didn't cost much when it was bought, so it didn't matter if it was sold at a loss. But Ah Fu stopped Kai's prodigal behavior. Now the global economy is improving, the US economy is also starting to pick up, and the house is bought at a low price. It can be regarded as an investment and wait for appreciation. Although a lot of real estate taxes will be paid, compared with the increase, that little tax is nothing.

But these are all small matters. Ah Fu will arrange professionals to handle it. After all, Wayne Group is also a consortium, so there is still this amount of manpower.

In comparison, Kelly's studies are a bit troublesome.

The University of Chicago where she studied is a university with a strong academic atmosphere and one of the best universities in the United States. Although Kelly wanted to drop out very early, after all, she was a superhero. In her opinion, it didn't matter whether she went to college or not.

But Kai didn't think so. He didn't go to college. He joined the army after graduating from high school. His grades were very biased. Physics, chemistry and mathematics were very good, but Chinese and English were very poor. In the end, he simply joined the army. At that time, being a soldier was not like later. Anyway, when Kai joined the army, he had to have a wedding banquet.

In short, Kai still yearned for college life. He thought that if he had the opportunity, it would be very good to have his own college life, so he was very opposed to Kelly dropping out, although this kind of thing is not uncommon in the United States. Many people who can't afford tuition or really don't have time to go to college will choose to take a leave of absence or drop out. The longest leave of absence is five months. After five months, you can only drop out. But there is no time limit for returning after dropping out. You just need to re-enroll as a freshman, so in college you can see many older people studying with a group of young people.

Of course, with Kelly's personality, if she really dropped out of school, it would be difficult for her to go back. So Kai was inclined to let Kelly finish her studies in Chicago.

Another point is their superhero identity.

If Kai left Chicago and came to Los Angeles, and three superheroes who were famous in Chicago followed him to Los Angeles, how could it not be suspicious?

If Kai was really just a little policeman who was not noticed by others, it would be fine, but the problem was that Kai himself was also a highly noticed person, and now he was targeted by SHIELD. If there was such a big flaw around him, it would be difficult not to be discovered.

So Kai simply forced Kelly to stay in Chicago.

Even Diana was the same. Diana had just accepted an offer from the Art Museum of Chicago. If she suddenly resigned and followed Kai to Los Angeles at this time, it would also be very eye-catching, so she was simply left to accompany Kelly.

Catherine didn't care. She was an unemployed vagrant, so she followed Kai to Los Angeles.

As Tony Stark's temporary nest, Tony's power was still very large, and Kai's entry procedures were completed quickly. → But there was a problem in the middle. That is, Kai did not work in the General Detective Bureau, but was sent to the West District to become the head of the West District Major Crime Unit, which was considered a promotion. From Detective (MPO) to Sergeant (Sergeant, 3 mountain stripes).

This was beyond Kai's expectations. He did not expect Tony to be able to do this.

In fact, this matter really had nothing to do with Tony. He just transferred Kai to Los Angeles. As for other things, he did not do much. Most of his energy was focused on the struggle between the Ministry of Justice and S.H.I.E.L.D. Before this, Tony actually did not know the existence of S.H.I.E.L.D.

But when Kai told him that S.H.I.E.L.D. was related to the death of his parents, he immediately began to investigate S.H.I.E.L.D.

This is a money society. Although money is not omnipotent, it can definitely settle most things.

In the past, Tony and S.H.I.E.L.D. did not interfere with each other, so they lived in peace. Now that there is a grudge of "killing his father and mother", they will naturally not let it go. So for a while, some of the information about S.H.I.E.L.D. reached Tony's ears.

Tony is now competing with SHIELD and has no time to take care of Kai's affairs, so he is not aware of Kai's reassignment again.

Actually, this is a coincidence.

This position is actually Kai's own work.

Didn't Kai kill Bullseye under the alias Hannibal before?

Although Kingpin knows very well that this matter has nothing to do with the local forces in Los Angeles, so what?

As a gang leader, Kingpin must show unparalleled authority in front of his subordinates. If his chief killer is killed and there is no reaction at all, it will inevitably be considered weak. For people like them, weakness means that they can be replaced, even Kingpin is the same.

So he must be tough.

So the revenge began, and it must begin.

Kingpin knew very well that the person who killed Bullseye was not a local force in Los Angeles, and he even guessed that it was Hannibal who killed Bullseye. But the problem is that Hannibal is too mysterious, and this person gives him a very, very bad feeling, and Kingpin does not want to confront Hannibal.

What's more, Hannibal has no real conflict of interest with him. It was not in Jin Bing's interest to fight against a mysterious master for a dead man.

So he simply took it out on those forces in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles was wronged. No one would want to provoke the crazy Bullseye. But facing the attack of Kingpin, they either admitted defeat or fought.

The choice was actually very clear.

They were all gangsters. They relied on their bad temper and had no spirit. Who would be afraid of you? So even though they knew that Kingpin was strong, the big and small gangs in Los Angeles did not admit defeat. No matter what, they had to wait until the fight was over. What if?

In short, Los Angeles became a battlefield.

Since it was a war, it was natural to do everything possible, and all kinds of conspiracies and tricks came up.

Local forces also have advantages. For example, in local operations, the relationship network is complex and solid, which is not comparable to Kingpin, an outsider.

So a group of gangs and some corrupt officials and police joined forces to give Kingpin's forces a hard blow.

Kingpin was naturally unwilling to be outdone, so he launched a counterattack.

His counterattack was very tasteless, but extremely useful - assassination.

In fact, as long as the people with status are very taboo about this kind of thing, isn't it better to let the people below fight each other? Why let these big and delicate people experience the great horror of life and death? That doesn't fit their status!

But Jin didn't care. Anyway, he didn't plan to take root in Los Angeles for a while, and his focus now was still on the East Coast.

So a group of corrupt officials and police were caught by various accidents.

Among them, the leader of the West District Serious Crime Unit was killed in this way.

The leaders of the Los Angeles Police Department naturally knew the chaos below, and it was precisely because of this that they were very annoyed.

No matter how greedy and incompetent the people above were, they also hoped that their subordinates could be honest and capable. After all, if they want to go further, they still need some fig leaves.

It was because of the annoyance that they made up their minds to clean up, and at this time, Kai's transfer order came down.

The big guys naturally saw Kai's files during his time in Chicago. At a glance, he was a tough guy, so they simply let this tough guy clean up the scum.

So there was a new transfer order.

Kai didn't care. On the contrary, he liked this life very much. He had been a vice-captain in his previous life, and now he had a full-time job. Not bad.

The only trouble was that Ah Fu needed to find a new house.

The West District of Los Angeles is the economic and cultural center of the entire Los Angeles area, just like the meaning of the city center in China. There are many famous cities here, such as the famous Beverly Hills, Santa Monica Beach City, UCLA University, Hollywood Hills, etc. In addition, there is the famous Sinai Hospital in the United States, and there are many famous private schools. The characteristics of the West District are that the housing prices are relatively high compared to other areas in the Los Angeles area, and the houses are generally built older. Most of the houses do not cover a large area. But there are also very large areas, or many renovated houses, and the prices of these houses are relatively high. It is very convenient to live here, with many famous attractions and shopping centers. But there are very few Chinese supermarkets here, and there are some Asian supermarkets.

On the contrary, there are more Chinese in the East District. The Chinese in the East District prefer the San Gabriel Valley. There are many Chinese supermarkets in this area, and many Chinese restaurants are gathered. Generally, banks, post offices, and hospitals have service staff who can speak Chinese. There are also many Chinese accountants, lawyers, etc. working in these cities. The public schools in many cities have excellent grades.

So Kai planned to let Ah Fu buy a house near the East Side. Compared with the more industrialized city of Chicago, the Chinese restaurants in Los Angeles are much better. To be honest, the Chinese restaurants in Chicago are really average, because the Chinese there are generally more than three generations of immigrants, and their living habits have completely deviated from the Chinese habits and are more Americanized. The Chinese food there... is really hard to describe.

Los Angeles is more international, with many new immigrants, which also makes the Chinese restaurants here more authentic. Here you can find very authentic Sichuan and Hunan cuisine, which is very friendly to people who like spicy food.

Ah Fu's efficiency is very good, and soon he bought a house near Beverly Hills in the West Side. Beverly Hills is a city in the west of Los Angeles. It is located on the hillside at the edge of the Los Angeles Basin in the United States. It borders Santa Monica to the west and Hollywood Hills to the east. The three high-end residential areas of Beverly Hills, Bel-Air and Holmby Hills in the area are generally called the "Platinum Triangle", which is one of the most expensive residential areas in the United States.

As the most famous wealthy area in Los Angeles, the United States, within a radius of more than ten kilometers, there are top celebrities from the United States and the world living. It is one of the world-famous attractions. Hollywood movie stars, NBA basketball stars, world-famous artists and tycoons from all over the world have bought houses and land here, because owning a mansion here is a symbol of their identity and status.

However, Kai's new house is not in Beverly Hills, but on the periphery. It is not big. It is a single-family villa of nearly 300 square meters, with six bedrooms and three bathrooms, and a garage and a small swimming pool. This level of house is not considered a luxury home in Los Angeles. At best, it can only be considered medium-priced. It just takes advantage of the location and cost nearly one million.

But the house is really nice, very quiet, and the surrounding greenery is perfect. There are big trees and shrubs separating it from the house next door, so the privacy is very good. Most of the people who can buy a house here are upper middle-class families. The community has good security, the atmosphere is not bad, and people are friendly to each other.

The decoration is not too much. This kind of villa is of course based on home comfort. It doesn't matter what style it is, as long as it is practical. There is a small lawn and a 5*5 small heated swimming pool in the backyard, which can also be heated. But Kai doesn't think this thing is useful. Los Angeles has a temperate Mediterranean climate with mild weather all year round. Generally speaking, it is dry and rainy all year round, with an average maximum temperature of 3℃ and an average minimum temperature of 13℃. Even if the water temperature is low, it can't be too low.

In addition to this, Kai is very satisfied with this house. The key is that it is less than thirteen minutes away from Chinatown.

Although Chinatown in Los Angeles has become a bit cold, Chinatown in Los Angeles is the largest Chinese settlement area in the United States. Most of the earliest Chinese immigrants to Los Angeles lived near Chinatown. In recent years, with the development and changes of society and the diversification of employment options, many young people have moved to other places for development, and new immigrants are scattered everywhere. Now the majority of people living nearby are Vietnamese, but they still use the name of Chinatown, so many Chinese restaurants are still there.

Catherine still needs to wait a few days before coming, and Afu needs to deal with furniture, appliances, and some minor decorations, so Kai has been living alone in the hotel in recent days. He went around Los Angeles when he had nothing to do.

There is really nothing to visit. Kai was looking forward to Chinatown, but after a day of visiting, he was disappointed. The buildings there seem to lack planning and feel very messy. The architectural style is also old. It is even dirtier than expected. But from the appearance, Chinatown in Los Angeles is like a small town in the remote west of China. What's more terrible is that most people there speak Vietnamese, but there are very few people who speak Chinese. Even if there are, they speak half-spoken Chinese, which is difficult to listen to.

Some elderly people can communicate in Chinese, but the problem is that most of them can only speak their native dialect, and their Mandarin is not very good. Especially those elderly people come from Guangdong and Guangxi, but Kai can't speak Cantonese...

On the contrary, some old restaurants surprised Kai a little.

Especially a Hunan restaurant, the owner is a new immigrant, a native of Yueyang, Hunan. Although Kai doesn't speak Hunan dialect very well, it is not far from Mandarin, so they can understand each other. The owner is not good at English, and it is his eldest daughter, son-in-law and second daughter who greet the guests.

His second daughter is a college student at UCLA, and the eldest daughter is studying in China. She met her current husband during an exchange student life. Her husband is a third-generation immigrant. The store was originally owned by the son-in-law, but by the son-in-law's generation, because Chinese people attach great importance to education, the son-in-law already had a decent job, so the restaurant could not be run, so he simply transferred it to his in-laws.

The son-in-law will come to help when he is free.

The son-in-law's Chinese is very poor, and he can only speak it in front of others. Kai was a little homesick because he saw many Chinese people, so he simply ordered dishes in Mandarin. The son-in-law was at a loss, and then asked his wife to serve.

When the daughter heard that Kai wanted to eat chopped pepper fish head, Mao's braised pork, Dong'an chicken, Hunan stir-fried pork, and grandma's dishes, she was shocked by the foreigner in front of her.

It is not uncommon for foreigners to speak Chinese, but there are few who have no accent at all, let alone order Hunan dishes so skillfully, which is even rarer.

After hearing about it, the boss came out to chat with Kai.

As soon as they talked, Kai said that he had lived in Hubei for more than ten years. The boss was also very happy. Although Hunan and Hubei are not in the same province, they are next to each other, and their customs and habits are not far apart, and they can be regarded as meeting half of the fellow countrymen.

So he simply took out the real good stuff.

Yueyang roasted butter, the boss said proudly that his was authentic Yueyang solar calendar roasted butter.

Kai had eaten Gregorian roasted butter in his previous life. Perhaps it was because of the difference in ingredients, the taste and texture were a little different, but he enjoyed it very much. Americans can't eat this.
