Why aren't you going home after work? What are you doing in a place like this?"
"This is Hell's Kitchen."
"Damn it, these drug-addled scumbags are getting worse and worse, actually choosing a bustling downtown area for their transactions."
As soon as the middle-aged Police officer arrived, he started roaring like a machine gun.
Seeing this scene,
Frank quietly put away Raine's business card, keeping quiet with his wife and daughter.
Only Gwen showed a very helpless expression.
"Daddy, I'm fine," Gwen first reassured her father, then somewhat awkwardly hugged Raine's arm and whispered, "Raine, I forgot to tell you, my dad is a New York City Police Captain, so he's a bit sensitive."
Raine blinked and said, "Wow, an NYPD Captain, four stars?"
Gwen whispered, "No, three stars, a precinct Captain."
Raine looked scared and said, "That's still very impressive. I'm dating his daughter, he won't take me back to the Police station for torture, will he?"
Gwen: "..."
Teased by Raine, Gwen quickly started playfully punching him with her small fists.
At this moment, George Stacy's expression had become very ugly.
This kid has a lot of nerve.
He even dared to flirt with his daughter right in front of him.
George Stacy was about to explode, but fortunately, a large number of Police officers had already entered the park, and two detectives had roughly investigated the scene and came to report to George.
The scene became somewhat chaotic.
Including Raine, all four began to be questioned separately by the Police.
After quite some time,
George Stacy still used his privilege to exempt Raine and the other three from going to the Police station for a statement.
However, even so, Gwen was kept by her father, who was preparing to take her directly home.
Raine did not object to this, only made a phone contact gesture towards Gwen.
When Gwen turned to go to the car,
George Stacy then took the time to glare fiercely at Raine before driving away.
Chapter 5: The Underground Palace Beneath Presbyterian Hospital
Gwen's departure and his father-in-law George's hostility didn't bother Raine.
As for Gwen, to say Raine had deep feelings for her would be a lie; at most, it was just a little better than lust at first sight.
As an immortal who is destined to live forever, what's wrong with being a little bit of a playboy?
Since the Cent Family has already emerged,
then Gwen's transformation is not far off.
The Cent Family is one of the undertaker forces among the underground powers in New York City.
Decades ago, the Cent Family used to be subordinates of the Sullivan Family, where Raine belonged, and there was some historical connection.
After Raine's cheap grandfather took over the Sullivan Family, the Cent Family chose to establish their own independence.
Over the decades, there have been many conflicts between the Sullivan Family and the Cent Family.
However, in this Western World, Chinese identity is naturally met with exclusion.
More than ten years ago, the Cent Family received a large amount of support from a certain force. After taking over most of the undertaker work in the Chinese community, Chinatown, and Hell's Kitchen, they even gradually grew into a formidable force.
The Cent Family even holds a small stake in Osborn Company on the surface.
If it weren't for the unexpected encounter with Frank's situation,
Raine had originally planned to personally eliminate the Cent Family after his date with Gwen ended today.
But Frank's appearance made Raine change his mind.
The Cent Family has an extremely bad reputation in New York City, having committed numerous acts of murder, drug trafficking, and human trafficking.
If Frank still wanted to live a stable life with his wife, he would inevitably come to Raine for help.
So after Raine had dinner alone, he didn't go home, but instead went to a private hospital near the coast in Manhattan.
New York Presbyterian Hospital is a private hospital with a Global reputation.
When Raine first Transmigrated, this hospital was still controlled by a Genius surgeon named James Taylor.
Later, Raine discovered that this James Taylor was actually the murderer from "Detective Chinatown 2."
Moreover, James Taylor had long discovered that he had cancer and wanted to obtain some Legacy related to Raine's ancestors from the Sullivan Family.
So after Raine gained power in the Sullivan Family, he chose to strike first.
Just a Genius Doctor with cancer.
Even if he had an extremely vast reputation and wealth, how could he be an opponent of an Earth Immortal?
It took less than half a month.
James unexpectedly developed complications, directly gave up, and met God without a word.
And Raine, in the name of James's Chinese wife's 'brother,' became the sole heir of Presbyterian Hospital.
Speaking of which, James could be considered a benefactor on Raine's Cultivation path.
The appearance of Presbyterian Hospital not only helped the initial Raine acquire a large amount of money and stabilize his Family's power.
Moreover, James thoughtfully built a large underground palace beneath Presbyterian Hospital, completing most of the Immortal Cave Raine wanted to build.
After arriving at the chairman's office of Presbyterian Hospital,
Raine instructed the foreign female secretary outside the door to await Frank's arrival.
Immediately, Raine went directly from the office, through a secret elevator, and quickly arrived at an underground palace.
It must be said that James was truly a good person.
From his Chinese wife, he somehow managed to find a construction method for a Five Elements Immortal Cave of the Dao of Earth Immortal, and built this entire underground palace in an exceptionally fitting way for Raine's ideas.
In the entire underground palace, a Bagua Mountain was built in the center, with the surrounding terrain connected to form an abyss.
At the same time, at the top of the Bagua Mountain, there was a Taiji Diagram, and in the center sat a gigantic bronze Pill Furnace of unknown age.
After Raine took over, he engraved Heavenly Talisman Cloud Seals around the Bagua Mountain.
Then, using the vast amount of money he possessed, he installed sixty-four spectrum receivers in the hospital above.
In this way, Raine could use technological means to gather infinite power of the stars.
These gathered stellar powers, through the Heavenly Talisman Cloud Seals, were injected into the Bagua Mountain.
The Bagua Mountain, in turn, used the power of the Taiji at its peak to refine the infinite stellar essence into the central Pill Furnace.
The Fire swirling within the Pill Furnace then transformed that stellar essence into surging Spiritual Qi.
After two years of accumulation,
this underground palace had been enveloped in dense Spiritual Qi, almost transforming into a blessed grotto-heaven.
It was precisely because of such a rich supply of stellar Spiritual Qi
that Raine chose the Heaven River True Method, the most top-tier and profound method in the Luofu World, as his fundamental method.
Otherwise, in this World where every trace of extraordinary energy has a Master,
it would be a pipe dream for Raine to Cultivate the Qi Refinement chapter of the Heaven River True Method to Perfection in two years.
However, this time, Raine came to the underground palace not for Cultivation.
After reaching Qi Refinement Perfection,
relying solely on the undertaker work in Manhattan and Hell's Kitchen, as well as the financial income from Presbyterian Hospital, was no longer sufficient to support Raine's continued Cultivation.
After two years of accumulation, Raine needed to expand his influence and income.
Therefore, Raine also needed some talents, such as Frank.
For the safety of his wife and children, Frank would definitely go looking for trouble with the Cent Family tonight.
Although Frank is portrayed as incredibly powerful in many comics and movies, in reality, no one can guarantee that Frank is truly an immortal protagonist.
Therefore, Raine prepared to use some methods to ensure Frank's safety.
Chapter 6: Twelve Divine Bone Fiends of Yuanchen
In the underground palace, on Bagua Mountain, Raine did not touch the bronze Pill Furnace.
This Pill Furnace was a top-tier heavy artifact, smuggled from an Eastern country in ancient times, having endured at least two thousand years of history.
Over these two thousand years, countless people and forces have handled this Pill Furnace.
