ne brilliant day , near the Peace Hotel in old Shanghai in the 1920s , the sun shone wonderfully over the ground . The roads of old Shanghai were crowded . Everybody was chatting happily . Some were eating steamed buns in the restaurants . Although the road was full of the choking smoke of the tram , but no one seemed to be care about it . ' Pi ! Pi !' here came the train at the station . A man with thick coat came out of the train briskly . He seemed to be 26 or 27 years old .
The man ' s name was Dickson . He had attractive blue eyes and cool short hair . However , nobody seemed to notice him . Perhaps because he wore the dumpy coat . He sat down on the floor of the station and had his lunch - a sandwich . The reason Dickson came to Shanghai , such a long way from his home in Beijing , was because his father and mother were killed in a casino by a mobster boss , Erik , but he had no information about where or was he alive now . However , Dickson has been searching for 10 years to kill Erik and take revenge . But he still couldn ' t find him .
Then Dickson went towards the Peace Hotel by tram . On the way , he was curious about one thing that was why there were so many rich Europeans on the street but no local people . ( Shanghai was occupied by Europeans .) Therefore , he stole nine Europeans ' wallets and gave them to the beggars on the street . The beggars smiled thankfully ! Then he went to the Peace Hotel to book a room and he slept for one night .
The next morning , Dickson went to a restaurant to have breakfast . Then he decided to go to the casino . He seemed to be angry . When Dickson arrived , he immediately broke a table and sat down on the ground . Everybody was puzzled . Then two mobsters came . They took their guns out and pointed them at Dickson . Dickson seemed to be pleased . Dickson suddenly stood up and gave a mobster a heavy punch . The mobster immediately passed out . Dickson quickly took his gun away . Everyone was frightened and shocked by his actions . Then Dickson gave the other mobster a light punch . This time the mobsters didn ' t pass out but his gun flew out of his hand and fell down onto the ground . Dickson quickly whispered to the mobster ' s ear , “ Lead me to your master or you will die .” The mobster nodded his head .
Dickson walked through the stonily road to ' THE MOB CENTER ' with the mobster . It was really a secret place . When they arrived at ' THE MOB CENTER '. Everyone was surprised and scared to see their friend trapped by a teenager . Someone roared angrily , “ Let go , stupid . Then maybe we will not kill you !” Dickson replied with a cold voice , ' I am only looking for a person called Erik ! Erik if you are here , it ' s time for a show down !'
Suddenly , a big , loud voice answered , “ am Erik . Ah ! If I do not guess wrong , you must be Dicky ? Er ... no Dickson !!! Ha ! I remember ! Do you want to take revenge ? Ha ! You must be kidding me !!! You are a young and stupid teenager !!” The big loud voice came from the back from the mobsters . Erik was a man with brown eyes , messy hair a cold , dark heart . He was the man that killed Dickson ' s parents . The mobsters raised their left hands beside their head . This was to salute to their master .
Dickson didn ' t answer Erik . He let the mobster who he met in the casino get away . He was thinking about how to kill him . This is the perfect chance to kill him . He knew that if he let Erik go carelessly , he would need another 10 years to find him because Erik was so good at escaping . Suddenly , he had an idea . He immediately gave the first mobster a punch . Then , he stole the mobster ' s gun and swung it round towards Erik . Erik easily moved away moved away and then he quickly tried to escape from the backdoor . But Dickson shot Erik just in time . Erik died immediately . Everyone was so shocked . The reason why the mobster didn ’ t protect their master was because they were so surprised and had no time to looked at their master .
At this time , Dickson slipped away from the front door of ' THE MOB CENTER '. He ran as quick as the wind to the train station to buy a ticket and ran into the train . He had an excited feeling from his body coming up to his brain . He was extremely overjoyed . Perhaps he had finally finished his mission . He thought , “ I hope the next time I come to Shanghai . I am just traveling , not taking revenge . It ' s such a brilliant place . A ! Ha !” He laughed loudly .
The people were eating in the restaurants chatting happily . The train went away from Shanghai to Beijing . Oh ! What a wonderful day in old Shanghai .
