A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 67 The Gambler Appears
Colleen is very anxious lately.

Since the father's unexpected death last year, the entire martial arts school has been facing various troubles.

The father's treatment cost a lot of money.

The martial arts school is experiencing a continuous loss of students and is facing financial difficulties.

The landlord attempted to raise the rent and break the contract.

Several of my senior brothers met with accidents one after another.

The martial arts school also has people coming to cause trouble from time to time.

Even at school, she always felt like someone was watching her.

One can imagine how terrible a nightmare such pressure must be for a 12-year-old girl.

Until this day, Colin had just finished school and was getting ready to go home with his senior who had come to pick him up.

A super luxurious extended Phantom pulled up in front of them.

Colin's senior brother decisively stepped in front of her, watching the car in front of him warily and adopting a defensive posture.

However, as the car door opened, they saw the person inside.

The two men immediately lowered their guard.

Because the person who appeared before them was simply too famous.

The world's richest man, the rising star "Iron Man".

Tony Stark.

It's not that Tony likes to show off or that he came here specifically to show off to the little girl.

It was Li Wei who sent him.

After Natasha, Frank, and their group took action again, they did indeed find out the force behind the Wen family martial arts school: the Hand.

But all that was confirmed was that the other party was the Hand.

The gambler's finger has still not appeared.

To get Botu to show his face, he would probably have to "succeed" and Colin to "become his apprentice," but without alerting him.

So the best solution is to get Colin's remaining senior brothers to cooperate... otherwise, Li Wei and the others will have to keep waiting.

But the most suitable person to get these people to cooperate is Tony Stark.

After all, nothing is more convincing than being the world's richest man and the "Iron Man" title.

If you were to ask what was so special about the meager resources of the Wen Family Martial Arts School that would warrant such a scheme, even the former master, Wen Li, wouldn't believe it if he crawled out of his grave.

"Sweetie, how about we take a few minutes to chat?" Tony gestured for the two of them to speak.

At that time, someone was indeed keeping an eye on Colin.

However, by this time, that person had already been lured away by Natasha.

Colin and his senior exchanged a glance, then decisively got into the car.

When Natasha got rid of the Hand members and they returned, Colin's presence was naturally gone.

In the car, Tony didn't waste any words and directly told the two of them everything they were facing.

"So that's how it is. I was wondering what a coincidence it was. After Master died, several of my senior brothers had accidents one after another. There are no such coincidences in this world. It turns out that someone was behind it all!" Colin's senior brother, who was also surnamed Li, was furious after hearing Tony's story.

Although Colin was young, he was already quite sensible at 12 years old, and his face was filled with grief and indignation.

Having lost his mother at a young age, he had relied on his father for support since childhood. Now that he learned that his father's death was a result of a frame-up, he was naturally filled with resentment.

“This organization is very powerful, and you can’t deal with it on your own. So I hope you can cooperate with our operation and capture their leader!” Tony said.

Senior Brother Li looked at Colin. Although she was young, she was, after all, the heir to the martial arts school. "Mr. Stark, what do you need us to do?" Colin asked Tony earnestly.

"It's actually very simple. I need your remaining senior brothers to leave for a while under various pretexts, leaving you isolated and helpless!" Tony glanced at the little girl, somewhat doubting whether such a tiny child could really cooperate with them.

"What? How can this be? What if those people hurt Colleen?" Senior Brother Li immediately raised his objection.

“You’re overthinking it. What they want is legitimate control of the dojo, and in that process, Colin, as the sole heir, is the most important person, so she won’t be harmed. On the contrary, the few of you left who Colin can rely on are the most dangerous. Their goal in targeting you is to leave Colin in a helpless state,” Tony sneered.

“Mr. Stark is right, senior brother, I can’t drag you down any further!” Colin said. “I’ll take care of the rest myself… and I believe Mr. Stark will protect me!”

Upon hearing this, Tony gave the little girl an appreciative look.

"Then I'll leave Colin to you from now on, Mr. Stark." After a long silence, Senior Brother Li bowed to Tony and said, "However, we still need to go back and inform the other fellow disciples about this matter."

“Of course, but you have to hurry. Also, be careful of the remaining students at the martial arts school. They've been watching you and looking for an opportunity to strike. It would be best if you left together.” Tony nodded.

According to Natasha and her team's prior investigation, it has been confirmed that Colin's remaining senior brothers are all fine. The only problem is that a few students are being watched, so there is no need to worry too much about leaks.

“We understand!” Senior Brother Li and Colin exchanged a glance and nodded.

Tony then dropped the two off by the roadside and left.

That evening, a dispute broke out inside the Wen Family Martial Arts School.

The next day, Colin's remaining senior brothers split into two groups and left the martial arts school, never to return.

From then on, the Wen Family Martial Arts School was left with only young Colin.

Because her senior brother, who had previously served as her guardian, had become a disabled person.

If no new guardian is found, Colin will soon be sent to a welfare institution by the community.

The martial arts school will also be completely removed from the list.

This is clearly not what the gambler wants.

Soon after, a group of gangsters broke into the martial arts school to collect protection money.

Then a "righteous man" appeared, easily defeating the group of thugs and saving young Colin.

He also expressed his high regard for Colin's potential and his willingness to take her on as his apprentice.

If Colin is willing, he can become her guardian and help her save the Wen Family Martial Arts School.

This person is undoubtedly a gambler.

One can imagine what choices a lonely and helpless little girl would make if no one else interfered.

—In the original storyline, the Wen family martial arts school was completely reduced to a place where the Hand selected potential spies, which already explains everything.

But this time.

"Really?" Colin stared at Bottom with wide eyes, asking hopefully.

It can only be said that the little girl has a great talent for acting. Even knowing that the person in front of her was her father's killer, she did not reveal any flaws.

"Of course!" Botu nodded.

"Great! Please wait a moment, I'll go prepare the apprenticeship ceremony right away!" Colin cheered and ran towards the martial arts school.

At first, Botu didn't pay attention.

But he soon realized something was wrong.

Colin never came back after he left.

However, several extremely violent auras appeared around them.
