He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

Gu Qing reviewed the character design he had created for Genos, nodded in satisfaction, and then placed him on Broadway in Manhattan.

Regarding the doll deployment... This is a built-in function of the system. The deployment range is centered on him and extends outward to any location within a 300-kilometer radius.

They can also be retrieved at will within the designated area.

However, there is a one-month cooldown period after the recall.

In addition, the range of this deployment can be increased using prayer points.

Gu Qing's decision to place Genos on Broadway was not without reason; judging by the timing, another major event was about to begin.

Let Jerome ride the wave of popularity then.

After dealing with Genos, the next targets are Rengoku Kyojuro and Tamayo.

It's the same old story – playing oneself.

Kyojuro Rengoku plays the Flame Hashira of the Demon Slayer Corps who has traveled to this world and is randomly placed in the farthest place within range.

Tamayo, on the other hand, was placed in Hell's Kitchen.

He planned to have Tamayo open a clandestine clinic, where she could treat people who couldn't afford medical care or couldn't easily go to the hospital. Then, during the final battle in the Infinite Castle, he would have her reappear and reenact the famous scene of poisoning the Demon King.

Then there's the Vongola family...

The Vongola Family has over 300 members. Besides the Tenth Boss, Sawada Tsunayoshi, and his six Guardians, there is also the Varia assassination squad, and external advisors such as Reborn, Colonello, Lal Milch, Fu, and Ippei.

Their strength ranges from level E to level C, a fairly large range.

As for the rest, they were all ordinary members, and their strength was all at the F-rank level, which is within the range of ordinary people.

Additionally, it's worth mentioning that Sawada Tsunayoshi and his six guardians are adults who did not experience the timeline shift, rather than teenagers who are still in middle school in the main anime storyline.

This also explains why they are so weak.

They didn't drag their past selves into a hopeless future or undergo trials beyond the original historical trajectory, so their level of ability is indeed hard to describe.

Even the most overpowered Cloud Guardian was defeated in the battle against the Phantom Knight. And the most overpowered of all, the Mist Guardian, attempting a direct decapitation strike, was outmaneuvered and nearly lost its own body.

Although this is also related to their loss of the Vongola Rings.

But they themselves were the ones who lost the Vongola Rings, so they can't blame anyone else.

However, even so, it's enough for Hell's Kitchen, and even the entire American underworld.

After all, their "rings" and "box weapons" were groundbreaking products.

Especially the box-shaped weapons, according to the original work, are the same as the difference between firearms and cold weapons (the original work does not show this difference at all).

"You are a mafia family that has traveled from another world. Your goal after arriving here is to rebuild the Vongola family's glory and become the world's number one family... Let's start from Harlem!"

After giving the Vongola family the mission, Gu Qing selected the drop location.

Harlem is as infamous as Hell's Kitchen, or even more chaotic.

Every year, a large number of Mexican and Latino immigrants, as well as countless illegal immigrants, flock to this area, which is filled with undocumented immigrants.

Theft, robbery, human trafficking and other crimes occur frequently.

What's most unbearable is that gangs run rampant here, and they often clash in the streets over drug and arms deals. Even the presence of the military cannot change the situation.

It would be most appropriate for the Vongola family to start their development here.

……

After dealing with the doll issue, Gu Qing turned his attention to the remaining five thousand prayer points.

"System, 5,000 Prayer Points, Body Enhancement!"

[Ding! Your strength has been upgraded to D-rank, seven stars!]

[Ding! Your strength has been upgraded to D-rank, eight stars!]

As the system notification sounded in his mind, Gu Qing felt the changes in his muscles, making them stronger and more resilient.

Strengthening the body, enhancing skills, increasing the probability of winning, expanding the scope of distribution, increasing the size of the system space... the effects of prayer points are numerous and far more than these.

It can even enhance the strength of puppets.

But it's not worth it.

Five thousand wish points can only raise your strength from D-rank six stars to eight stars. If you use them for the lottery, you can basically get stronger puppets and a lot of puppet fragments with comparable strength.

Even drawing items is no less effective than improving one's strength.

Therefore, I'm not thinking about upgrading the dolls for now.

However, one's own strength cannot be replaced by external things. Whether it is to ensure one's own safety, or to achieve immortality and longevity, one needs to be strong.

So-called puppets and dramas are all for the purpose of making himself stronger, and Gu Qing will not forget the primary and secondary roles.

"Otto, change your clothes, let's go out for dinner!"

……

Harlem is a district consisting of low-rise, old buildings.

The streets were dirty, smelly, and deserted.

In the early morning, the deserted streets were only occupied by small groups of Black people playing cards or practicing rap. Occasionally, a car would pass by, kicking up a cloud of dust, which would elicit friendly greetings from the Black people playing cards or practicing rap by the roadside.

At that moment, a group of people walked out of the alley.

They include people of all ages, men and women; and people of all races with white, black, and yellow skin.

They were dressed in suits and ties, wearing expensive watches and ties, walking with their heads held high and chests out, exuding an extraordinary air, which contrasted sharply with the locals who wore cheap t-shirts and had a smirking face.

Chapter Fourteen: Shooting Every Day

Harlem is a haven for criminals, with countless crimes taking place every day, but what's worse than the crimes is racial discrimination.

Due to the large number of Latino immigrants and illegal immigrants, Harlem is predominantly Black, and its chaotic situation leads to discrimination against everyone there.

Because the majority of the population here is Black, they feel that the outside world discriminates against Black people, and in turn, discriminates against other races.

Insults and beatings are common occurrences.

If the person is an outsider, not Black, and is alone or in groups of two or three, they will definitely be robbed.

Even if they have no money, they'll still rip your clothes off and humiliate you.

But at this moment, faced with this group of people emerging from the alley, no one dared to step forward and follow the usual practice.

Because there are many of them.

There were about three hundred people in total, walking on the street and blocking the road.

Also, because they dressed in the same way and walked with an impressive aura.

Furthermore, it was because several hundred of them were carrying Thompson submachine guns.

Faced with such a group of people, they would rather avoid them than go looking for trouble.

Is he an idiot?

Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, robbing lone individuals is the way these thugs survive.

They hid in the shops on both sides of the street, peeking out to observe the situation while discussing amongst themselves.

Where did these people come from?

"This group's temperament is different from local gangs like the Viper Gang, the Savage Gang, and the Gunfire Negotiators; instead, they resemble the Manhattan Mafia!"

"Who knows, but it's definitely going to be a good show!"

"Yes, yes. Over the years, gangs from outside have tried to take over the power here, but no one has ever succeeded, not even the US military!"

"They're here! They're here! The Savage Gang is here!"

On the other side of the street, an equal number of people arrived.

Most of them were Black, wearing short-sleeved t-shirts, revealing their heavily tattooed arms or upper bodies, and carrying rifles such as M16s or AK47s. Some of the stronger guys even had ammunition belts wrapped around their bodies and were carrying heavy machine guns, looking extremely fierce.

"Kill them!"

The leader of the Savage Gang, a shirtless, muscular man, waved his hand when the two sides were about two hundred meters apart. His men scattered, some hiding in roadside alleys, others diving into houses, and then unleashed a merciless barrage of fire.

Harlem is already saturated with territory and there's no room for more forces to take a share. Whether the other side wants peaceful negotiations or armed conflict, the final result will only be a fight to the death!

The brave will prevail when paths cross, a principle many people understand.

The two are approaching each other on a straight street; whoever makes the first move will have the advantage.

The leader of the Savage Gang didn't hesitate and, disregarding all martial ethics, ordered an attack.

Gunfire erupted, echoing throughout the Harlem district.

And the enemies... that group of guys who seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, looking like mafia members, also fell one after another into pools of blood.

"Fire! Fire! Fire!"

The leader of the Savage Gang fired a heavy machine gun at the opposite side while excitedly shouting commands.

The gang members got carried away with the fight and pulled out RPG rocket launchers.

For five minutes, the Savage Gang continued firing. The ground was littered with spent shell casings, and the streets were shrouded in smoke, with the outlines of people lying haphazardly in pools of blood barely visible.

"That's it?"

The leader of the Savage Gang emerged from behind the wall, bursting into arrogant laughter. "You dare to come to Harlem with this level of skill? Who gave you the courage!"

The streets were silent, except for the laughter of the Savage Gang leader.

Suddenly, a voice cut in from behind.

"Yeah, with this level of skill, how have you managed to dominate this place for so long?"

His voice was flat and unhurried, as if devoid of emotion.

The rampant activity, both large and small, came to an abrupt end.

The leader of the Savage Gang paused for a moment, then suddenly turned and opened fire.

"Ahhh!!!"
