He struck hard and single-handedly destroyed the gang influence over the city. He set out for revenge and to liberate the city. He worked as a trader, travelling all over the world, until one day he witnessed Wing Chun in Hong Kong, and decided to stay and learn the martial art.Ībout half a century later, Leroy heard that New York was still in the grasp of the gangs responsible for his family's death, though their power was now greatly diminished. Fortunately, Leroy was picked up by a passing trade ship, who took him in. During the violence, an injured Leroy fell into a river and was swept out to sea.
