- The Reincarnation World Where Only I Know the Storyline
- RWWOKS Chapter 226
“Routine check!”
Such a flimsy excuse was something Fang Bo naturally wouldn’t believe.
A descendant of the Eight Heroes and a heir to the bloodline of Orochi, how could he possibly be stopped by a small-time officer setting up roadblocks?
[Liana Hardyland (Mercenary)]
[Attack Tendency: Low]
[Attribute Tendency: Agility, Strength]
[Traits: Orochi Bloodline, Weapon Master]
[Threat Level: Moderate]
As two of the most famous berserk fighters of the 1990s, Liana’s fame was clearly not as loud as Yashiro Iori’s.
However, in the eyes of the King of Fighters tournament audience, her beautiful face was indeed unforgettable.
If it weren’t for the sunglasses, she might have already been recognized by a passerby.
Since Liana was there, the other members of the “Angry Team” would likely not be missing.
A quick scan of the surroundings, and Fang Bo quickly spotted the second member of the Angry Team.
[Clark Still (Mercenary)]
[Attack Tendency: Low]
[Attribute Tendency: Strength, Constitution]
[Traits: Joint Lock Specialist]
[Threat Level: Moderate]
Clark was a top-tier grappling expert, the kind who was difficult to escape once he closed the distance.
Honestly, Fang Bo hated dealing with enemies like this. He had been caught off guard by similar types of opponents more than once before.
Of course, if it were a fair one-on-one fight, he was confident he could defeat the man.
Unfortunately, the other members of the Angry Team wouldn’t just stand idly by, like the bandana-wearing man watching him from a distance.
[Ralf Jones (Mercenary)]
[Attack Tendency: Low]
[Attribute Tendency: Strength, Constitution, Agility]
[Traits: Heavy Artillery Fist]
[Threat Level: Moderate]
An extremely violent, heavy-hitting fighter, Ralf was capable of devastating attacks.
If Fang Bo had to choose, he would rather take a hit from a “Sunshine Daylight” than endure a single blow from Ralf’s “Cosmic Mirage.”
With all three top members of the Angry Team present, it was clear that the task they were about to execute was no small matter.
As his thoughts raced, Fang Bo soon realized why they were looking for him.
After the big stir caused by the Onkura Organization, it was no surprise that General Hardyland sent people to investigate.
Kagura Chizuru wasn’t just anyone, and the three members of the Angry Team wouldn’t dare to approach her recklessly. Instead, they had to find another way to deal with him.
Liana slid into the passenger seat of the car and lowered her voice to warn him, “Don’t make any unnecessary moves. We’re not your enemies.”
Hearing this, Fang Bo smiled and responded, “Of course, the Angry Team’s name is legendary. You wouldn’t be working for the Onkura Organization.”
You wouldn’t. But whether your BOSS would is another matter.
The leader of the mercenary group, “Zero,” was actually a clone created by the Onkura Organization.
To be precise, they had killed the original commander and replaced him with an identical bioengineered clone.
This bioengineered General Zero was actually a clone of “Zero,” the organizer of the King of Fighters tournament.
And this “Zero” was a clone of the Onkura Organization’s second-in-command, “True Zero.”
It may sound a bit complicated, but for the Onkura Organization, which had mastered cloning technology, using clones was their best means of control.
However, they had forgotten one thing: clones are still human. They possess unique selves and emotions and won’t always be subjugated by the man who thinks of himself as a god.
For instance, this fake Zero had his own agenda—he wanted to destroy Onkura and use the power he controlled to dominate the world.
This was certainly a very typical villainous plot, one that would likely be thwarted by the protagonist in the end.
Lost in thought, the car soon reached a makeshift camp.
Following the three mercenaries into a tent, Fang Bo quickly spotted the familiar figure on the screen.
“I am General Hardyland.”
A brief self-introduction, and the man quickly got to the point of why he called Fang Bo here.
“Take a look. Do you recognize this person?”
The photo on the screen was none other than the chosen one, Constantine.
Fang Bo didn’t realize that they were actually using the mercenary group to investigate a traitor, which was why Liana had joined the Angry Team after killing Veep.
What was initially thought to be a successful operation turned out to be a failure, with even his public identity now under threat.
The mercenaries had gotten wind of the truth and understood they had been deceived, so now they needed an eyewitness to confirm the identification through the photo.
“Yes, that’s him.”
Fang Bo had never liked that pretentious man.
The earlier battle was a perfect opportunity, but unfortunately, the man had escaped using some unknown method.
Considering future confrontations, Fang Bo decided to be forthright. He might as well create some trouble for Constantine.
With that mindset, he couldn’t wait to dump all the blame on Constantine’s head.
The hidden hand behind the Onkura Organization, the mastermind behind many abductions.
Who stole the homeless man’s wallet? Why did the stray dogs on the street howl in agony at midnight?
“I heard that the old lady next door…”
Seeing him get more and more absurd, Hardyland had no choice but to interrupt, “Alright, we’ll investigate the things you mentioned further. Thanks for your cooperation and support.”
“No problem.”
After a long, silent stare, Liana sighed and said, “You can leave now.”
“Leave?”
Fang Bo shook his head, his expression serious. “The Onkura Organization is starting to surface, meaning their plans are at a critical stage. At times like this, we must unite.”
“Uh, so you mean…”
“The mercenary group has been infiltrated by members of the Onkura Organization, and they’ve smoothly risen to high positions. You don’t think they got there purely by their own ability, do you?”
With those words, the camp immediately fell into silence.
His meaning was clear: there were traitors within the mercenary ranks, and this person was likely of significant standing.
“I’ve fought the Onkura Organization many times and destroyed several of their bases. Maybe I can help you find some leads.”
Through the high-definition camera, General Hardyland could clearly see the confidence on the man’s face.
It was obvious that Fang Bo wasn’t speaking aimlessly. He probably had enough confidence to root out the traitor.
Taking the chance, Hardyland nodded in agreement, “Thanks for your help. If you discover anything, contact me immediately.”
With that, Liana handed him a communicator.
[Mission Number 14552 Triggered: The Hidden Traitor!]
[Mission Brief: General Hardyland has entrusted you with investigating the traitor within the mercenary group. Remember, you must gather concrete evidence.]
[Mission Requirements: Identify the traitor before the King of Fighters tournament ends.]
[Special Tip: Perhaps you can gather information from the enemy’s higher-ups.]
At first glance, this task seemed easy enough. But finding evidence would be quite difficult.
After all, Hardyland couldn’t just accuse the mercenary group’s commander based on his words alone.
Continued…
Even if he were willing to, the other members of the mercenary group wouldn’t accept it. In fact, he might even face the risk of being framed.
“This isn’t urgent. There’s still half a month before the King of Fighters tournament.”
In truth, he already had a vague idea. Perhaps this situation could be combined with the mission to rescue Olsen.
How exactly to approach it, though, would require more careful thought. Either way, he could contact Hardyland anytime once he had a plan.
“Tsk, today’s my lucky day. I picked up a hidden mission for free.”
Back in his little car, Fang Bo hummed a cheerful tune.
Finding Geese Howard’s whereabouts was easy enough; he just had to check where the “Geese Rhapsody” band was performing next.
Maybe, just maybe, he could even catch a free concert.
However, Fang Bo seemed to have forgotten one thing: he had quite a few enemies in South Town.
The consequence of getting too cocky was that it brought out the trackers hiding in the shadows.
By the time he realized something was wrong, a motorcycle was rapidly closing in on him from the rearview mirror.
“Here again?” Fang Bo frowned, slamming his foot down on the gas pedal.
With a roar, the car surged forward into the street.
Thanks to his enhanced senses and superhuman agility, Fang Bo’s car seemed to transform into an 86 tofu delivery vehicle, effortlessly drifting through corners without touching the drainage ditches.
Even so, he still couldn’t shake off his pursuers. The motorcycle, being more suited for urban terrain, kept closing the distance.
[Mission Requirement: Defeat the Fatal Fury Team]
To complete the mission, Fang Bo would most likely have to face off with the Fatal Fury team.
Only by defeating them could he get them to stop chasing him.
This task sounded simple, but in reality, it was anything but.
After all, Terry Bogard, the leader of the Fatal Fury team, was a fighter capable of even challenging Geese Howard, let alone someone like Fang Bo. He had no chance of winning alone.
Not to mention, there were also Mary, Joe Higashi, and Andy Bogard—three first-rate martial artists—making escape his only viable option.
As for this side mission, it could wait until the King of Fighters tournament.
If he happened to run into the Fatal Fury team during the event, he could just defeat them and check off the side mission.
With his three teammates that he had painstakingly gathered, Fang Bo felt confident he could win the King of Fighters title with his eyes closed.
The only thing to be cautious of was K’, the main protagonist of the Onkura arc.
As the protagonist of the Onkura storyline, K’’s strength was unfathomable, and with the power of destiny on his side, he could unleash terrifying combat abilities.
One mistake…
Well, even if someone did make a mistake, his three powerful teammates wouldn’t all be careless.
Even with the power of the plot backing him, K’ couldn’t defeat the powerhouse team of Kyo Kusanagi, Iori Yagami, and Geese Howard.
“Stop overthinking it.”
Quickly turning the steering wheel, the car drifted around a corner, skillfully avoiding pedestrians.
Having had enough of the chase, Fang Bo calmly took out his Wind Shadow Puppet and activated its magnetic field ability.
He could control missiles, so why not a motorcycle?
“These guys really never learn their lesson.”
Just as he finished speaking, the bystanders saw Mary’s motorcycle spinning in mid-air, completing a full 360-degree turn.
Luckily, both riders were quick with their reflexes, or it could have been yet another traffic accident worthy of making the evening news.
In the rearview mirror, Terry and Mary’s figures gradually faded into the distance. Fang Bo smiled slightly and refocused on the road ahead.
However, at the end of the road, a furious-looking blonde man stood in his way.
[Andy Bogard (Master of the Fist)]
[Attack Tendency: High]
[Attribute Tendency: Agility, Spirit, Strength]
[Traits: Qi Gong Eight Strikes]
[Threat Level: Moderate]
Qi Gong Eight Strikes: You have perfected your use of Qi, greatly reducing energy consumption and increasing your Qi Gong attack power by 20%.
Facing the speeding car, Andy took a deep breath and assumed the classic stance for the Turtle School Kamehameha.
“Feeling brave, huh?” Fang Bo raised an eyebrow and floored the gas pedal.
Almost simultaneously, sand iron began to spread across the entire car, encasing it in a black sand-iron armor.
The hardness of the car instantly increased several levels, the kind of upgrade that would make any woman scream in awe.
Despite this, Andy didn’t move out of the way, clearly intending to take Fang Bo head-on.
At the same time, a few more figures appeared on the street, seemingly heading toward the small car.
“Heh-heh, found you!” A young girl’s laughter rang out like silver bells.
Though she seemed to be walking leisurely, her speed was far from slow, and in the blink of an eye, she collided with the chasing Fatal Fury team.
