History[]
Through unknown means he reached a point where he was regarded as the head of the Chinese mafia.
Story[]
Hong-Lung was stated by his youngest son to have been the most powerful mob boss in Hong Kong and, most likely, the entire Chinese community. Although he had six sons by the time he was sixty-five years old, he bought/married a poor farmer's ten-year-old daughter who would give him another son when she was fifteen years old. Around the time he was seventy-six years old, he passed away.
Relationships[]
- Yut-Lung's Mother: Even though he made her as his concubine when she was just ten years old, he took good care of her and her son.
- Yut-Lung: He took good care of Yut-Lung because he knew that Yut-Lung would probably be his last child on account of his advancing age. As Yut-Lung was his youngest and last child, Hong Lung appeared to have some level of favoritism toward him.
