After a night's rest, Mary went straight to the door the next morning.

Yesterday she knew which room Louie lived in, but at that time the two of them went directly to the dojo of the hotel, and today she came in and saw Louie's living environment.

"Wow, it looks like you're really not short of money. ”

Louis never embarrassed himself when the situation allowed—what's the use of keeping money in his hand? Isn't it just that he can live a better life in the world when he has the chance?

So Louis asked for a suite, in addition to a spacious bedroom, a living room to entertain guests, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the South Town.

"Would you like to come in too? The bed here is big and comfortable. "Louis didn't sleep all night, but it didn't have any negative effect on him, or it had very little effect, unless he didn't sleep for a long time and was always in a fighting state.

"If you are responsible for the cost of my stay, of course I would like to stay more comfortably. ”

"That's decided, anyway, for a long time to come, you will have to be my sparring partner, and it's inconvenient to live too far away. ”

Louis agreed so neatly that Mary was stunned for a moment - this is a high-end hotel, and the price of even the most ordinary single room is not low, and if you stay for a month, it will cost a lot of money.

Now, in 1993, the purchasing power of the dollar is quite strong, and many people even spend in cents every day.

However, Mary still underestimated Louie's degree of failure, and Louie did not book her an ordinary single room, but directly booked the suite next door.

Because of the location of the room, that room is smaller than Louie's, but it is also a few grades higher than the ordinary single room, and the cost is naturally higher.

"By the way, you don't care about money so much, or do you take a job that is more profitable?"

"It's okay, the main thing is that the guys I deal with are not short of money. ”

Marie immediately understood that the two most astonishing things Louis had ever done were to destroy the gangs entrenched in Paris and Rio de Janeiro.

Especially in Rio de Janeiro, the head of the biggest local underworld force was killed, and it seems that Louie easily rolled up a lot of money from that guy.

Although Marie was very envious of Louie's lack of money, she did not think of taking on that kind of work after Louie's example. Danger or not danger aside, Louie's ruthlessness is well-known in the entire circle, and it is said that there are many rumors in private that Louie is a madman who came down from the battlefield and indulged in that bloody killing feeling.

Now that she had actually made contact, Mary didn't see anything wrong with Louie, except that her self-confidence was a little explosive......

After booking a room, Mary did not rush back to move her luggage and return the place where she had lived.

She went to the dojo with Louie first for today's sparring.

Mary takes her work very seriously, and since she agreed to be a sparring partner for Louis for a month, she will not compromise on completing her work.

The battle situation has not changed much compared to yesterday, Louie is still looking for a new rhythm of battle, Mary can still deal with Louie's attack relatively calmly and simply, but she finds that Louie's attack has become more powerful and heavy - it seems that Louie also left his hand yesterday.

"I see, no wonder you can be so confident. ”

Mary rubbed her forearm, it was not fun to resist Louie's attack, and Louie seemed to be able to guess what she wanted to do, and every time she tried to use a grappling technique, the opponent would give up the attack in time.

"I don't generally do things that I'm not sure about. ”

Since he is willing to pay Mary to be a sparring partner and participate in real fighting matches, he naturally has plenty of confidence to support him.

"Your combat power is indeed very strong, but I wonder why you are used to fighting with a long sword?" While some fighters are good at cold weapons, they rarely use swords anymore - since many fighting matches don't allow the use of weapons, the top fighters in the King of Fighters series are more adept at fighting with their hands.

In real battles, it is more convenient to still have firearms. Even the Furious Squad members, who are also martial artists, use modern weapons such as firearms when carrying out combat missions.

"For some special reasons. ”

"Can't tell?"

"I don't want to say it yet. ”

"Forget it. ”

After a few words, the two men came together again, fists and kicks Mary could feel how fast Louis was progressing.

According to this situation, it will not take more than a month for Louie to find the right rhythm of fighting, and what kind of strength he can burst out at that time, Mary is also curious.

After the sparring, Mary would wash and change her clothes, and then she would go back to her original residence to pack her belongings, and then move to the hotel after leaving the house.

Louie went straight back to his room to rinse and rest, and then continued to exercise his fine control over the Force Trial.

Louie, who didn't even eat dinner because he was addicted to cultivation, knocked on Mary's door early the next day.

Mary still remembers that they were going to the Extreme Flow Dojo today, and they also got up very early, and the two of them plus Mary's dog named Antonio had a casual breakfast and took the car arranged by the hotel to the Extreme Stream.

"What a pleasant way to live. ”

The food was good, and there was a special car to pick her up when she went out, and Mary realized that Louie was a person who liked to enjoy himself, and he belonged to the kind of person who would never let himself suffer if he could enjoy it.

"When you can enjoy it, you have to enjoy it, and when you miss it, you want to enjoy it but find that you don't have a chance, that's a pity. ”

"Sounds like there's some truth. ”

Mary didn't know what she remembered, her expression became a little melancholy, she looked out the window in a daze, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became a little awkward, and Louis had to tease Anton to relieve her boredom.

However, Anton ignored Louie's teasing, and looked impatient, almost biting Louie to show his attitude.

Fortunately, the hotel was not far from the Extreme Runner Pavilion, and he arrived at his destination quickly, and Anton was free from Louie's harassment.

Louis didn't let the driver wait here after getting out of the car, he didn't know how long he would stay here, and just let the car leave.

When he and Mary entered the established venue, they found that there were already a lot of people gathered here, except for the contestants, most of them were here to see the excitement - many of them were young people who were hesitant to enter the limit.

He also got to see Ryo Sakazaki, the current leader of the extreme stream, as well as his sister Yuri Sakazaki, as well as the Robert Garcia who often appears as a teammate in the King of Fighters series.

I didn't see Takuma Sakazaki, so I don't know what the former Extreme Stream Master has been up to lately, is it wandering outside or enjoying a relaxing retirement life in the Extreme Stream Gym?

Considering that the King of Fighters 94 and The King of Fighters 95 two major tournaments, Takuma Sakazaki competed with Ryo Sakazaki and Robert, so the former boss should still stay in the Extreme Stream Dojo and did not run away from home and wander around like in the plot of Fist of the Dragon and Tiger.

When Louis looked around, Ryo Sakazaki on the stage spoke something as the master of the extreme stream, which was basically to promote the concept of extreme flow karate and the training method.

At the same time, the players sent by the Extreme Flow Association were introduced: in addition to some of the students who practiced in the Extreme Stream, there were also two well-known martial artists, Yuri Sakazaki and Robert.

Only then did Louis know that the gym held this kind of competition also had the effect of allowing the gym students to receive actual combat experience.

Normally, these students can only learn from other students in the same hall, and after a long time, they are too familiar with each other, and it is difficult to make progress.

This kind of competition can attract many different kinds of people, who can see more tricks and routines that they don't usually see, broaden their horizons and increase their practical experience.

In addition, Louie also found that the winning prize given by the extreme stream is very difficult to get. There are very few real martial artists who participate in this level of competition, but Extreme Stream sent Robert, a well-known martial artist, to the town (at this time, Yuri Sakazaki has not yet made a name for herself as a martial artist, and only Extreme Stream insiders know how powerful she is), which means that it is difficult for the championship prize money to fall into the hands of outsiders.

If you are lucky enough to get the prize money for the top four, it is probably equivalent to the registration fee for joining the Extreme Stream Gym and the first tuition fee...... What a good calculation.

Louis touched his chin and kept looking at the people around him, he hadn't seen other familiar faces yet, there shouldn't be any hidden folk masters, right?

While he was thinking so, the game had officially begun, and Robert and Yuri Sakazaki, who were townsmen, would not have played early.

Although the schedule was not given for the extreme stream, everyone could see it through the two matchups that ended quickly: the first round was the non-extreme flow players against the extreme stream gym students.

Extreme Flow wants to allow students to compete with non-native fighters as much as possible, and everyone has no opinion on this, anyway, the final outcome of the fighting competition is easy to decide: the winner is the one who wins in the end.

The race went fast, and it didn't take long for Louie's turn.

His opponent was also a student of the extreme stream, and in the face of a completely unfamiliar passerby, Louis did not face Mary as cautiously, but faced the side and made a 'come' gesture with both hands.

The young cadet on the opposite side was provoked and immediately rushed up and threw a straight punch, as if trying to give Louie a dismount.

His straight punch did not pose any threat to Louie, who deliberately put his opponent in front of him, grabbed the opponent's arm neatly, and turned over to put the opponent down and cast a spider solid.

"If you don't admit defeat, you won't be able to save this arm!"
