An Army a Day Lin Yuan comes to New York to help his uncle run a restaurant in Chinatown. That same night, the gang that shakes them down burns the place and waits for them in the alley: six against one, and Lin has never been in a fight in his life. Beaten with bats, he asks for the one thing he's missing: a couple of men to watch his back. Something answers. From that day on, every morning at six, new soldiers arrive, loyal only to him. I will be posting this story on RoyalRoad.com.
