Chapter 1 The Birth of a Knight
In June 2012, on Hancock ST in Brooklyn, New York, a skinny Chinese teenager was blocked in an alley by two black youths.
"Boy! Give me all the money you have on you!"
"I, I don't have any money! Just now, I was robbed!"
There were ferocious smiles on the faces of the two black youths.
It was clear they didn't believe what the teenager said.
A black youth approached the boy, threatening, "Hmph! Do you think we will believe what you say? If we find money from you in a while, you will look good!"
After a while, the black youth slapped the young man hard, and at the same time cursed, "Damn! This poor man! It seems that he was robbed just now! What a fucking bad luck!"
The boy wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and staggered up from the ground.
"Both brothers, can I go?"
"Go away! Next time you pass by here, remember to bring money with you! Otherwise, we will make you look good!"
The young man nodded submissively and said, "Thank you two big brothers! I'll get out of here!"
The boy stumbled and ran out of the alley, and then let out a sigh of relief.
"Hey!!! What a day! I was robbed twice in one day! My lunch money is gone!"
After speaking, the boy looked down at his clothes.
"Ah!!! The clothes are torn! When I get home, my mother will definitely miss me again! Hey! What a day that misfortunes never come singly!"
The boy lowered his head depressedly and walked forward.
This boy is called Lu Nian.
Lu Nian's great-grandfather came to this free country to seek gold.
But now, three generations have passed, Lu Nian's great-grandfather, Lu Nian's grandfather, and Lu Nian's father were all shot to death on the street.
There are only widows left in the Lu family.
Lu Nian was brought up by his grandmother and mother with hardships.
But not long ago, Lu Nian's grandma passed away because she was seriously ill and had no money for medical treatment.
Now, only Lu Nian is dependent on his mother.
Lu Nian's mother opened a tailor shop in a slum in Brooklyn, and she managed to make ends meet by mending clothes.
Lu Nian dropped out of high school before finishing high school and worked as an apprentice in a pizzeria.
Because of poverty, Lu Nian was often excluded by his classmates in school.
Because of poverty, Lu Nian couldn't find a good job after dropping out of school, so he could only work in a pizza shop on the side of 7th AVE in Brooklyn.
The manager of this pizzeria is also a Chinese, named Li Hua.
Li Mei, the store manager's daughter, once attended the same middle school as Lu Nian.
After hearing that Lu Nian had dropped out of school, Li Mei begged his father to let Lu Nian work in the store.
Li Hua couldn't stand his daughter's pleading, so he had to agree to Lu Nian, who was only 15 years old, to come to his shop as an apprentice.
And today, it happened to be Lu Nian's first day as an apprentice at a pizzeria!
With his head hanging low, Lu Nian continued to walk towards 7th AVE listlessly.
"Young man! You look like you need help!"
As he was walking, Lu Nian was suddenly stopped by a mysterious man whose whole body was completely black.
After sizing up the mysterious man, Lu Nian replied bluntly, "Yes! I really need help right now! Because I don't have money for lunch!"
A strange smile suddenly appeared on the face of the mysterious man.
"I mean, you need courage, fighting spirit, and strength!"
"Courage? Fighting spirit? Strength? Can these be eaten for lunch?"
"No."
"I'm sorry, I don't need any of what you said! I just want to work in a pizza shop now! Today is my first day of work, and I don't want to be late!"
"Boy, some people are destined to be heroes. Do you want to be a superhero?"
"Sorry! I don't want to!"
"Don't rush to reject me! If you were a superhero, you wouldn't be robbed by two gangs in a row this morning. Instead, you could knock them down and uphold justice!"
The words of the mysterious man touched Lu Nian.
Seeing that Lu Nian was tempted, the mysterious man immediately continued while the iron was hot, "Young man, think about it carefully, how did your father, your grandfather, and your great-grandfather die? Do you hope that in this world, there will be more Are there many single-parent children like you?"
Lu Nian suddenly clenched his fists and shouted, "No!!! I don't want to!!!!!!"
"It seems that you have finally figured it out."
"Yes! I want to be a superhero! Please help me!"
"Very good! Now you go to work in the pizza shop first!"
"what?!"
"At ten o'clock tonight, I will be waiting for you at your door."
"You know who I am?"
"Of course. I haven't been watching you for a day or two."
"who are you?"
"Me? My name is Caesar, and I am a university professor. You can call me Professor Caesar in the future. Remember, we will see you at ten o'clock tonight!"
After Professor Kaiser finished speaking, the figure disappeared in front of Lu Nian.
"Professor Kaiser? What a weird guy! Can he really help me become a superhero?"
Time flies, and it is January 2013 in a blink of an eye.
In the pizzeria located on 7th AVE, Lu Nian is undergoing the ultimate test!
Standing in front of Lu Nian, Li Hua said with a serious face, "Xiao Nian, today is a very special day for you! I hope you will not let down your studies over the past half a year!"
"Yes, Master! I will definitely make the most perfect pizza!"
Today is the day when Lu Nian becomes a teacher!
For more than half a year, Lu Nian worked hard every day in the pizzeria.
Now, it's finally time for Lu Nian to become a teacher!
I saw Lu Nian began to operate skillfully, and a seafood pizza was quickly completed.
Lu Nian put the pizza into the oven, waiting for the final moment of judgment.
"Ding dong!"
When Lu Nian put the freshly baked seafood pizza in front of Li Hua, a gratified smile appeared on Li Hua's face.
Li Hua took out a small piece of seafood pizza and put it in his mouth to taste.
Immediately, Li Hua congratulated Lu Nian, "Congratulations, Xiao Nian! You can become a teacher! The seafood pizza you made tastes exactly like the one I made myself!"
Hearing this, Lu Nian couldn't help but raised his hands high and cheered loudly, "Yeah!!! I'm a teacher!!!"
A girl's voice came from heaven.
"Congratulations, Xiao Nian!"
"It's all thanks to Sister Mei! If Sister Mei hadn't introduced me to this job, I might still be wandering the streets."
"I saw you and your aunt working so hard, so I introduced you to work in Dad's shop. But I didn't expect you to be so talented in making pizza!"
Lu Nian was praised and couldn't help but patted his head.
"Actually, it's nothing! I am, and I will do whatever Master asks me to do."
