History[edit | edit source]
By 1927, the Great World served as a hideout for the Green Gang, a crime syndicate led by Du Yuesheng. Operating under the guise of a trade union, the Hop Wo Society, Yuesheng and his men engaged in a number of illicit activities, including opium trafficking.[1]
In April, the Black Cross Albert Bolden, investigating the Hop Wo Society, traveled to the Great World after interrogating the Master Templar Joffre about the trade union's address. He ziplined down from the Great World's tower into an office which was filled with crates of opium. Investigating further, he found Henri Melville's partner hiding. However, it was a trap as Green Gang henchmen came out of the shadows and fired their guns at Bolden.[1]
Immediately, Bolden fled from the ambush and managed to dispatch some of his attackers while making his escape. Pursued and shot at by gangsters, he was eventually confronted by a brutish gang enforcer known as "Fiery Crow". Despite pricking Crow with a poisoned Templar pin, Bolden was incapacitated and brought to Du Yuesheng. After a brief confrontation between Bolden and Yuesheng, during which the Black Cross tried to ascertain what Yuesheng knew about the Templars' operations in Shanghai, Crow died from the poison, giving Bolden the distraction he needed to escape.[2]
