Uncle Long is kidnapped

"...Ahem, why be so tense? You Chinese have an old saying, 'Even if a deal falls through, goodwill remains'...Alright, alright, you win, we'll leave now."

At first, seeing Rasu easily subdued by Riley, Afen felt somewhat unconvinced.

While feigning weakness, he slowly raised his hand, intending to take out the laser sword he carried with him and teach Riley a lesson.

But as Riley smiled, the hand that was resting on Rasu's shoulder, its fingers loosely clenched into a claw, was moving closer and closer to Rasu's neck, following Afen's movements.

Realizing that his biggest trump card had already been seen through by the boy in front of him, Afen could only raise his hands and give a French military salute.

It wasn't until Riley watched him obediently walk out of the antique shop that Riley finally released his hands and returned his good brother Rasu's freedom.

Ah Fen then glared fiercely at the embarrassed Rasu, his face turning ashen, and warned Riley and the others.

"Mr. Jackie Chan, although this meeting was very unpleasant, I advise you to retrieve that shield as soon as possible... After all, you don't want to encounter any misfortune with yourself and your family one day in the future, right? Especially you, kid, in this world, you can't just mess with anyone because you're strong."

Even after he finished speaking, Rasu still felt unsatisfied, so he deliberately held up both hands, pointed to his eyes, and then pointed at Riley in a mock manner.

Then, like a proud rooster, he led his two brothers, got into the luxury car parked outside the antique shop, started the engine, and drove away.

Clearly, Riley's appearance stole the spotlight that should have belonged to Uncle Jackie Chan, a chance to showcase his skills.

This caused Rasu's focus of vigilance to shift significantly to Riley.

As for Uncle Jackie?

According to available information, Jackie Chan was just an ordinary archaeologist.

How much of a threat can a scholar who can't even kill a chicken pose?

Do you think you can just pin those three experienced gangsters to the ground and beat them up?

"...What a strange bunch."

Only after watching the three people leave with his own eyes could Uncle Long finally relax.

Although Uncle Long's first reaction was to chase after them and find out where these three guys came from.

But after witnessing Riley's mystery and power firsthand, even though Riley was clearly on his side, Uncle Long, who was still worried about leaving Jade and Riley alone, abandoned the idea and tentatively asked.

"Thank you for your help. I haven't had a chance to ask yet, who are you...?"

"Railley Parker, just call me Riley, Mr. Jackie Chan. I'm your idol... oh no, you're my fanboy... no, shut up, stop talking nonsense...!"

Meanwhile, the departure of the Black Hand trio allowed Larica to complete the system-assigned task before the countdown ended.

But compared to the 500 points he had just received, Riley was clearly more concerned about the "ordinary" archaeologist in front of him.

Before time travel, Riley grew up watching Jackie Chan's various films, which subtly made her regard Jackie Chan as her idol.

Even now, he understands in his heart that the Uncle Long in front of him is not the same person as the Uncle Long he knows.

Even facing a face so identical to his idol, Riley couldn't help but feel a surge of nervousness and unease. His usually sharp mind became a complete mess, resulting in words that were always incoherent and unclear.

He raised his hand, signaling Uncle Long to give him some time to prepare, and took several deep breaths to calm himself down.

Riley, whose face had turned red, finally met Uncle Long's gaze, which was both trying to laugh and not laugh. He suppressed his embarrassment and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, and forced himself to remain calm as he continued.

"Anyway, those guys don't seem like they're going to give up easily. Maybe you should take your dad and find a safe place to lay low for a while?"

Thank you for your concern, but I think...

Fortunately, even though Riley's expression was somewhat hesitant, it was enough for Uncle Jackie to realize that Riley genuinely admired him and had no ill intentions.

This allowed Uncle Long to lower his guard, and as an adult, he subconsciously wanted to comfort the "young" Riley, making Riley believe that he could solve these troubles.

Hello, Jackie Chan.

"Ah, welcome... wait, you are... um—?!"

Before Uncle Long could finish speaking, the previously closed door was pushed open again.

When Uncle Long looked up and instinctively opened his mouth to respond, he was sprayed with a cloud of green gas by the bald man walking towards him.

In just a few breaths, the unsuspecting Uncle Long lost consciousness and collapsed completely into the bald man's arms.

Then, the bald man casually hoisted him onto his shoulder, strode out of the antique shop, and led him into a stuffy van with no way to see the interior, before driving away quickly.

The entire process was smooth and seamless, without the slightest pause.

Just like that, without any fanfare, in front of Riley and Jade, they took Uncle Long away.

Only Xiaoyu and Riley remained, staring at each other with wide eyes.

"Hey Jackie Chan, have the customers bought anything... Jackie Chan? Jackie Chan?"

"Uh... would taking Uncle Long away directly count as a deal?"

"ha?"

It wasn't until his father heard the noise that he opened the door and came out, making a ruckus.

Riley scratched his head, met his father's puzzled gaze, and said something surprising that made his father fall into deep thought.

What do you mean by taking Ah Long away...?

Could it be that this kid ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of money and secretly ran away abroad to become a tomb raider?

Sigh, although I knew this day would come sooner or later, I never expected this brat to be so disappointing...

At least bring back some antiques with a sense of history to help enrich Dad's collection!

"Ahem, please rest assured, Uncle Long just went to catch up with his friends, he didn't do anything wrong and end up in jail... If you're really worried, I'll go and bring Uncle Long back right now."

Of course, even though the mission was completed, Riley had no need to get involved in the subsequent events.

But since it was confirmed that the story of "Jackie Chan Adventures" also exists in this Marvel Universe, Riley naturally decided to take advantage of the opportunity, since he was already there, to visit the legendary "safest" District 13.

If all goes well, it will further relieve Peter of burdens and concerns for his subsequent heroic activities.

So, before the old man could even start overthinking, he conjured up a complete picture of Uncle Long's sudden departure, a scene of tears behind bars in his mind.

Riley offered words of comfort and then left the antique shop on his own.

"...So enthusiastic, is he also a relative of Jackie Chan? But I remember Xin Xin only has one daughter?"

Watching Riley's departing figure, the father, completely bewildered by Riley's overly familiar manner, couldn't help but wonder if he had developed Alzheimer's.

"Alright, Xiaoyu, study with your dad... Xiaoyu? Xiaoyu?"

Just as the old man was planning to wait until Riley returned to the antique shop to ask him directly about the matter, and to prioritize taking care of Jade for now.

Looking around, the old man carefully examined the not-so-large antique shop before he suddenly realized something.

No one knows when it started, but Xiaoyu, who should have been obediently staying next to the suitcase, has disappeared!
