~y~Huang~w~~n~My father is dead: murdered in Kowloon.
~y~Huang~w~~n~He always told me that this life, the life of a gangster, can be short, even for a boss.
~y~Huang~w~~n~Most of the family believes he died while meditating at the temple.
~y~Huang~w~~n~The truth is he was worshipping other gods - his two favorites.
~y~Huang~w~~n~Pharmaceutical grade coke and cheap women.
~y~Huang~w~~n~Regardless - I have sworn on his grave to find those responsible, to avenge him.
~y~Huang~w~~n~I did this mostly so as to guarantee my inheritance, but also because the old man was a good guy...
~y~Huang~w~~n~...for a philandering, drug addled murderer.
~y~Huang~w~~n~'Yu Jian' - his sword, generations old, has always been in the keeping of the head of the family.
~y~Huang~w~~n~A tradition my father invented after winning the sword in a card game.
~y~Huang~w~~n~Now, I've got to deliver the stupid thing to the family's new patriarch...
~y~Huang~w~~n~...Uncle Wu 'Kenny' Lee, in that great American melting pot Liberty City.
~y~Huang~w~~n~The last time I visited Liberty City, I caught crabs off a Swiss tourist.
~y~Huang~w~~n~Still, even a pampered little snot like me shouldn't be able to bungle delivering a sword...
~y~Huang~w~~n~...to a moody and power crazy uncle...
~y~Huang~w~~n~...with a penchant for exotic pornography and impersonating people out of kung fu films.
~#FEF1~Sometimes though, even the simplest of jobs don't work out quite the way you expect them to...
~b~Bodyguard~w~~n~Mr. Lee? ...Huang Lee?
~b~Bodyguard~w~~n~Your uncle sent us to meet you.
~b~Bodyguard~w~~n~Fuck! We're being jumped! It's a fucking ambush!
~y~Huang~w~~n~...Uhh, my head...
~y~Huang~w~~n~Shit...it's the ambushers.
~y~Huang~w~~n~This must be the famous American welcome I've heard so much about.
~b~Smart-ass Assassin~w~~n~...I think he's dead.
~g~Unsure Assassin~w~~n~Are you sure?
~b~Smart-ass Assassin~w~~n~...Well, he certainly looks it. He's got blood coming out of a bullet wound on his head.
~b~Smart-ass Assassin~w~~n~Tends to lead to death...being shot in the head.
~g~Unsure Assassin~w~~n~Check him. Fucking smart ass prick.
~g~Unsure Assassin~w~~n~If you're so fucking clever, how come you have to rob people for a living?
~b~Smart-ass Assassin~w~~n~He's not moving. He's not breathing. He's got a bullet wound to the head.
~b~Smart-ass Assassin~w~~n~You know what, I'm gonna stake my reputation on this one. The kid is dead.
~g~Unsure Assassin~w~~n~Aw, Shit! Then we are fucked.
~b~Smart-ass Assassin~w~~n~What are we gonna do?
~g~Unsure Assassin~w~~n~I thought you were the guy with the brains? Let me think.
~g~Unsure Assassin~w~~n~We're going to have to dump him.
~y~Huang~w~~n~They're dumping me...
~y~Huang~w~~n~...I might actually get out of this madness alive...
~y~Huang~w~~n~...if I don't die of shock first, of course.
~y~Huang~w~~n~...As soon as they stop the car, I'll make my move...
~y~Huang~w~~n~...They won't suspect a thing.
~g~Unsure Assassin~w~~n~Heads up...
~g~Unsure Assassin~w~~n~Okay, genius, bail!
~y~Huang~w~~n~It's clearly not my day.
~y~Huang~w~~n~What a place! Beaten up, shot and nearly drowned - within minutes of getting here.
~y~Huang~w~~n~My father would've paid for this kind of fun, but it's never appealed to me.
~y~Huang~w~~n~...I'd better find a car and get over to Uncle Kenny's.
~b~Kenny~w~~n~Huang! I'd heard you'd been killed!
~b~Kenny~w~~n~Thank all that is good that you are alive.
~b~Kenny~w~~n~What happened?
~y~Huang~w~~n~I was hoping for a couple of strippers...
~y~Huang~w~~n~...and a VIP table in a club.
~y~Huang~w~~n~Instead, I was ambushed, robbed...
~y~Huang~w~~n~...and left for dead, Uncle.
~y~Huang~w~~n~Not much of a welcome.
~b~Kenny~w~~n~Just like your father. A playboy, not a worker.
~b~Kenny~w~~n~These are dangerous times, Huang, but we will find and deal with these killers.
~b~Kenny~w~~n~...Do you have the sword?
~b~Kenny~w~~n~...Do you have Yu Jian?
~y~Huang~w~~n~I think the murderers took it...
~y~Huang~w~~n~...either that or your useless bodyguards.
~b~Kenny~w~~n~Don't get snotty with me, you little brat.
~b~Kenny~w~~n~I had promised Yu Jian as a gift to our leader...
~b~Kenny~w~~n~...Hsin Jaoming.
~b~Kenny~w~~n~It would have gained me great favor with him...
~b~Kenny~w~~n~...perhaps even sealing my position...
~b~Kenny~w~~n~...as his replacement when he steps down.
~b~Kenny~w~~n~Its loss will irreparably damage my standing.
~b~Kenny~w~~n~My honor is besmirched!
~y~Huang~w~~n~Besmirched? Uncle, it is 2009, not 1403.
~y~Huang~w~~n~And you were going to give the sword away? But, it's been in our family for generations.
~b~Kenny~w~~n~Don't give me that bullshit. Your father won the thing in a card game.
~b~Kenny~w~~n~As a gift to Hsin it would have made me the Triad boss here in Liberty City.
~b~Kenny~w~~n~...Huang, your father was a good man, but he's dead now, and that puts me in charge.
~b~Kenny~w~~n~I have to do what is best for the family, even if it goes against our traditions...
~b~Kenny~w~~n~...and my desires.
~b~Kenny~w~~n~I have arranged an apartment for you. Rest there for a while.
~b~Kenny~w~~n~We will speak again soon, once we have both calmed down. Grief can be very unsettling.
~y~Huang~w~~n~So can being shot in the head and nearly drowned.
~b~Kenny~w~~n~It would have gained me great favor with him...
~b~Kenny~w~~n~...perhaps even sealing my position...
~b~Kenny~w~~n~....as his replacement when he steps down.
~b~Kenny~w~~n~Its loss will irreparably damage my standing.
