Chapter 276: King's Choice
PS: (Today's update ~~~)
King!
This female martial artist doesn't have much influence and presence in the "King of Fighters" series of games. There are even many people who really think that this fighter in a suit and tie is a "handsome" male martial artist after choosing a character to fight in the arcade.
However, in the comics and setting of "The King of Fighters 94", the current leader in South Town is threatened by a boss named MRBIG with his younger brother and forced to become a subordinate to run the bar. Later, it stands to reason that he should become a member of the British team in "The King of Fighters 94", that is, one of the veterans of the later female martial arts team, and then have something to do with the "invincible dragon" Sakazaki Ryo, and the appearance rate in the previous "King of Fighters" games is not too low.
However, the current King is obviously still under MRBIG, a well-known big man in Nanzhen, and he probably hasn't met martial artists such as Ryo Sakazaki yet......
……
In the bar, which has been transformed into an ice cave and the scene of the tragedy, the atmosphere is unusually tense and solemn.
"Who are you?"
King, who had received the news and hurriedly came over to prevent the incident from happening, saw the current situation, directly swallowed the words that had not yet been spoken, and looked at Li Yuan and the three of them in the middle of the first floor of the bar nervously and asked.
In King's eyes, what he saw was that there was no disturbance in the bar from MRBIG's thugs that he had just heard. Instead, the thugs have been frozen in pieces of ice, and according to King's judgment of the breath, those thugs with different faces can never make trouble again.
Although King himself does not have any good feelings about MRBIG's subordinates who threaten him with his younger brother and those who are not only gangsters but gangsters, but in the face of the current situation where a disagreement is going to kill someone, King's emotions towards Li Yuan, Estes, and Chelsea can only be vigilant and vigilant against this situation.
"MRBIG's subordinates? King?"
Estes and Chelsea ignored King's emotion, and Li Yuan also asked the other party in a very indifferent tone after looking at each other.
Li Yuan's tone was like that of a stranger!
No way, for King, a character who is too neutral, Li Yuan doesn't have much interest in playing "The King of Fighters" or checking information. Now after seeing King himself, Li Yuan is even more sure that the other party is not very in line with his aesthetics, and it may be a little difficult to communicate depending on the situation......
"It's me! Who are you? He actually killed people directly!" King, who didn't know the thoughts flashing in Li Yuan's mind, looked at Li Yuan, Estes, and Chelsea with a vigilant face, and asked in a deep voice.
King is quite vigilant now, in addition to the fate of the thugs who have turned into ice sculptures in the bar, it is more about her own danger omen for Li Yuan, Estes, and Chelsea - it is as if ordinary people face three powerful beasts with their bare hands, and instinctively feel death and danger!
Although the images of Li Yuan, Estes, and Chelsea are very good, after being set off by the ice sculptures on the scene, King only feels the powerful and oppressive feelings from the three of them. Even Chelsea, who feels the least dangerous for King, is like facing a rather powerful and dangerous opponent, not to mention the words of Li Yuan and Estes, one is like facing a powerful monster with its minions converged, and the other is like facing a piece of 10,000-year-old ice that can freeze itself in an instant.
"Don't be nervous, Miss King, we're not here to trouble you......"
Looking at King's expression of disbelief and "you liar" after glancing at the ice sculpture group around Li Yuan, Li Yuan couldn't help but glared at Estes, who had just made a big move but was now fine, (Li Yuan seemed to forget that he was also the first to make a move), and then said to King with an indifferent face: "We want to ask Miss King for a small favor, I don't know what Miss King thinks?"
“…… What do you want me to help you with?"
Listening to Li Yuan's words that almost opened his eyes and said nonsense, King didn't want to directly tear off this "peaceful" atmosphere that no one believed, but said to Li Yuan after being silent for a few seconds.
Of course, King didn't believe Li Yuan's so-called "don't look for trouble" words - if you didn't look for trouble, how did those MRBIG little brothers become ice sculptures in the hall? King didn't have any opinion on those gangsters who had been taught a lesson, but killing so many people as soon as he made a move completely made King's senses for Li Yuan and the others extremely poor.
King's senses for Li Yuan and others are poor, but as a seriously ill younger brother and after the experience of black boxing in Nanzhen, her ability to judge the scene is definitely not bad. Now, as the head of a bar who was coerced by MRBIG, King didn't have any thoughts of desperately serving the other party anyway. Now that Li Yuan opened his mouth and gave King a step, King decisively chose to ask Li Yuan for the so-called "help" instead of directly refusing and going to war.
"It's simple, Miss King, I just want you to help you bring someone to meet your boss, MRBIG!"
Feeling King's vigilance and resistance, Li Yuan didn't care much, and said a fair reason without blinking his eyes.
“MRBIG?!”
Hearing Li Yuan mention this name, the other barmaids who wanted to plug their ears did not mention it, and King himself's face also changed a little, some hatred but some helplessness.
When King first came to Southtown, he heard about the famous black boxing and underground fighting in Southtown, and wanted to rely on black boxing to earn money for her brother's treatment. But by chance, king, who showed his strength, became MRBIG's subordinate, and was taken hostage by his brother to work for the other party and take charge of the bar.
If King has any loyalty to MRBIG, even King himself won't believe it, but if King wants to talk to Li Yuan and others about MRBIG, King, who has no psychological pressure to betray MRBIG, is worried about whether his brother, who is controlled by MRBIG, will be threatened......
"Don't worry! Miss King, no one in the room is allowed to use electronic communication tools, and we know that Miss King, your brother has been taken hostage by them. I'm sure Miss King wouldn't want you and your brother to be MRBIG's thugs and tools forever, right? If you are willing to cooperate with us, I believe ......"
Regarding King's hesitant attitude, Li Yuan opened his mouth to strengthen King's persuasiveness.
Although he doesn't pay much attention to King himself, Li Yuan doesn't take MRBIG to heart at all, just a veteran who retired from the U.S. Army and ran away to be a soil bully in Nanzhen covering a few streets, and Li Yuan, who doesn't even care about Guiss and Lucar, the two bigwigs and bosses in Nanzhen, will look at him squarely?
If it weren't for the fact that King himself might still be of some use in the future, Li Yuan wouldn't even bother to use MRBIG, the unlucky guy, as an excuse, and just turn around and leave with the two girls Estes and Chelsea.
"How can I trust you?"
After listening to Li Yuan's words, he turned his head to look at the bar that had turned into an ice cave and the barmaids who were almost curled up in the corner, eager to cover their ears and become transparent people, King finally asked.
Obviously, King's question is a testament to his attitude!
Of course, King himself doesn't want himself and his brother to become MRBIG's thugs and hostages forever, especially for King who wants to cure his brother's strange disease, although the guy MEBIG didn't treat King's brother harshly out of her means, but it was a fantasy to want the other party to spend a lot of money to treat King's brother's illness, and it was a rare thing to be able to maintain King's brother's current situation from deteriorating.
In this case, King himself is constantly thinking about how to leave Southtown with his brother from MRBIG's hands. But it's a pity that MRBIG is not a fool, and with the fact that King has a mouse thrower and no one to help him, he has had to obey MRBIG until now. But now with Li Yuan's opening and his previous performance, King's heart couldn't help but look forward to the idea of rebelling against MRBIG, and then he gritted his teeth and made this decision to betray MRBIG!
"It's easy! We need you to bring someone to MRBIG, and then you don't have to worry about anything after that!"
Li Yuan was not surprised by King's temptation, and simply said the relevant requirements to King.
"Wait! Isn't it the three of you? Are you going to have someone else follow me to MRBIG?"
However, hearing Li Yuan's words, King suddenly frowned, and then shouted to Li Yuan with a somewhat unkind face.
If it was Li Yuan, Estes, and Chelsea, King who didn't see each other make a move, but looked at the situation at the bar and believed in his instincts, was relatively relieved. But after King pondered Li Yuan's words just now, and understood that Li Yuan was asking others to go with her to the other party's MRBIG, he immediately felt that it was inappropriate - MRBIG is not a street gangster, and his own skills can be considered (in King's eyes), plus he also has a few die-hard subordinates and personal bodyguards to protect him, in case he startles the snake, it is King's younger brother who is unlucky!
"It seems that Miss King, you are very worried about strangers......"
Seeing King with an unkind expression, Li Yuan nodded with some understanding, and then under King's inexplicable and somewhat annoyed gaze, he seemed to say to the surrounding air: "Then, White Ghost, let Miss King take a good look at whether your ability can reassure her!"
Before King could understand the meaning of Li Yuan's words, a silent figure appeared on the stairs behind her, and then a long knife with cold light and restraint was directly placed on King's neck, and the piercing chill on the blade made King's body stiffen instantly, and the words that he was going to question were swallowed back into his stomach directly.
"Ok! White Ghost, take the knife back! Miss King shouldn't have any doubts now......"
Regarding King's stiff expression, which had changed several times, Li Yuan shrugged his shoulders and said.
With other strengthened soldiers to monitor the target, the white ghost has of course returned to Li Yuan's side to stand by, and now for King, a barely second-rate martial artist at most, the white ghost, who has even broken through to the non-commissioned officer rank ahead of his master, can make King die silently at any time. And also feeling the depression behind him that could kill him at any time and the cold air on his neck, King now didn't even dare to move casually.
“…… No! As long as you can help save my brother, I'll take him to MRBIG!"
When the blade on his neck disappeared, King, who felt that he had finally come back to life, gasped for a moment, and then looked at the white ghost behind him like an invisible man with some complicated feelings, and asked questions with some excitement and some worry.
If it was before, King who hadn't seen Li Yuan and his party attack would probably hesitate for a while, but now after being easily restrained by a white ghost like his subordinates, all King wants is to quickly find his younger brother. As for MRBIG, it's not enough to look at these guys......
"No problem!"
……
Thirty minutes later, in a suburban location just outside of South Town.
"Source, where are we going with the aircraft?"
Looking at the special stealth aircraft in the atmosphere that appeared in front of him, Estes asked with some curiosity.
"Of course, I'm going to find the two bosses in Southtown, they happen to be together now......"
Listening to Estes's words, Li Yuan explained a little to Estes and Chelsea.
After discovering that King himself did not conform to his own aesthetics, and was strongly wary and vigilant of Li Yuan and his party, Li Yuan simply ordered the white ghost to act with King and clean up the MRBIG. Instead, he's going to get in trouble with the bosses Lucar and Keith Howard.
"So will I be able to get some activity this time?"
Hearing the news, Estes' eyes flashed with interest.
For Estes, the scum in the bar and King's enemies who barely entered the crisis of the soldiers of the Star Empire really didn't have much interest - if the scum in the bar hadn't killed himself, he wouldn't have attracted the attention of Estes himself at all, and would have caused death!
"Let's see how it goes......" (To be continued.) )
