Shen Ye originally wanted to leave, but suddenly remembered that Mai Zhuo and Wei Si still wanted to see him, so he could only send the women away first, and then go to the top floor of the hotel alone.

When Sharmi was preparing to take Helena to her place, he had already told him that Mature and Weiss were waiting for him at the coffee shop on the top floor of the hotel.

But before leaving, Sharmie gave him a special reminder.

"Be very careful of Mature and Vice. Don't be fooled by their looks and figures. They have very strange personalities."

Shen Ye was somewhat dismissive of Sharmi's advice; he'd encountered plenty of eccentric women before...

Not long after, when Shen Ye stepped out of the elevator and arrived at the coffee shop on the top floor, he immediately saw two tall women sitting by the window drinking coffee.

These two women were Mature and Vice.

However, to his surprise, there were two other people on the top floor besides Mature and Vice.

Storm Goenitz and his adopted daughter Sharan.

Meanwhile, Goenitz, the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings of Orochi, was smiling as he watched Sharan eating a sundae across from him.

Seeing this, Shen Ye was stunned for a moment, then thought to himself, "Is this guy a doting father?"

With that thought in mind, Shen Ye walked towards them.

In fact, when the elevator doors opened, apart from Salan who was focused on eating her sundae, the other three members of the Eight Warriors had already noticed him. When they saw him coming, Mature and Vice greeted him.

only……

The way they greet each other is a bit unusual.

"Hey, you're quite handsome, young man. No wonder Sharmmy is with you." The one who said this was Mature, who was wearing a black dress and had her long golden hair tied up high. She looked somewhat intellectual, but in reality, she was a cold-blooded and ruthless woman.

Sitting opposite her was Weiss, who had a wheat-colored complexion and short red hair that seemed to be related to her brutal personality. She was also dressed in red, but looked much more capable than Mai Zhuo. She licked her lips and gave a smile that was more like a sneer, saying, "Not bad figure, but I don't know if he can handle the kind of man who is all show and no substance. However, since he can be praised by a woman with a figure like Shermie, he must be pretty good."

Ok.

Listening to the two women's words, Shen Ye began to understand what Sharm had said to him.

……

(How many images are visible?)

Chapter 695! Valkyrie

(Couldn't find any from '94, so here's a collection of characters from '96)

……

These two women do have rather eccentric personalities.

However, these two women seem to be somewhat frivolous, just like Sharmi, but judging from their relatively conservative attire, it's all a disguise.

Cruelty and bloodthirstiness are their true nature.

Of course, it's hard to say, after all, that's just the game setting, and it might differ slightly from the game's setting, just like Goenitz.

“Mature, Vice, and Sharon are still here. Watch your words.”

Before Shen Ye could figure out how to respond to the two tall, mature women, Goenitz, who had been watching Sharan eat her sundae with gentle eyes, spoke up. He turned to the side and looked at Mature and Vice, his blue eyes carrying a stern look.

As the leader of the Eight Heroes, Goenitz held considerable authority. Upon being looked at by him, Mature and Vice immediately dropped their frivolous expressions and became more serious.

Even so, Mai Zhuo still muttered to herself, "Tch, doting father."

Just then, Shen Ye walked up to them and heard this. He thought to himself: Look, even Mai Zhuo describes him like this...

Perhaps they've been lonely for too long, or perhaps they've done too many bad things. Even people like the Eight Heroes need something to comfort their hearts.

With that thought in mind, Shen Ye stopped in front of Mai Zhuo and Wei Si, and then introduced himself. Although Xia Ermi should have already told them, this was the first time he had met them.

“Shermie has already introduced you to us…” Upon hearing Shen Ye’s self-introduction, the blonde mature woman, Mature, nodded casually, then pointed to herself and then to Vice: “My name is Mature, and her name is Vice. From now on, just call us Mature and Vice. Don’t add honorifics like ‘Miss’ or ‘Lady’ after us.”

That's good. Although the Eight Heroes are not exactly good people by nature, they are all quite easygoing.

Shen Ye nodded.

He then looked at the two mature women and asked the question that had been bothering him: "What do you two want with me?"

“Actually, it was our boss Goenitz who came to see you.” Mature brushed aside the blonde hair covering her left eye, revealing her equally deep blue eyes. She smiled and continued, “But Vice and I are also very curious about you. After all, Shermie is not an easy woman to get along with. I think the man who can make Shermie submit must be no simple character.”

“Then you must be very disappointed now. I’m just an ordinary man.” Shen Ye pulled up a chair and sat down. Although it was Goenitz who had come to see him, Goenitz was obviously not available now, so he simply talked to Mature and Weiss.

Mai Zhuo nodded: "Although you can't judge a book by its cover, I am indeed a little disappointed. Although you are good-looking, your strength is too weak, so I don't understand why Shermie chose you. Similarly, I don't understand why the boss also chose you."

At this point, Mai Zhuo paused for a moment, then asked, "Would you like something to drink? Order whatever you like, it's on us."

"Black tea, don't add too much sugar." Shen Ye had been drinking green tea at the shrine lately, and he was starting to miss the black tea Robert brewed.

"Black tea, don't add too much sugar." Weiss, sitting on the other side, immediately repeated his words loudly.

This woman spoke much less than Mai Zhuo. Apart from saying a sentence at the beginning, she had been listening to the two of them talk the whole time while constantly eating plums, which was her favorite snack.

The black tea would take some time to arrive, at which point Shen Ye asked, "What do you mean by Goenitz choosing me?"

As he spoke, he glanced back at Goenitz, but Goenitz, who had his back to him, seemed not to notice. Instead, Sharan, who was eating a sundae, saw him and gave him a smile.

Shen Ye returned Sharan's smile and looked back at Mature and Vice, waiting for their response.

Neither Mature nor Weiss spoke; they simply looked at him calmly, but Shen Ye noticed a hint of suspicion flash in their eyes.

Just then, the sound of a chair being moved came from behind, followed by Goenitz's voice: "Shalan, wait here for a moment."

“Okay, Daddy,” the girl replied in an innocent voice.

Afterwards, Goenitz walked over to the table where Shen Ye and his two companions were sitting. Upon seeing this, Weiss immediately stood up and gave up her seat, while she sat down with Mai Zhuo.

After sitting down, Goenitz quietly observed Shen Ye for a while before slowly speaking: "Now I understand why you showed murderous intent towards me when we first met. I think you should know about the legends surrounding the Eight Heroes and the Three Sacred Treasures families, right? Perhaps you even know about my lord's existence?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Ye's eyes narrowed slightly, and he instantly activated his professional skills.

He now believes that Goenitz, bringing Mature and Weiss to him, is probably here to cause him trouble.

Back then, Rugal somehow got wind of Orochi and wanted to obtain Orochi's power. As a result, Goenitz not only gouged out his eyes, but also used him as an experiment to see what would happen if an ordinary person obtained Orochi's power. His gentleness and refinement only worked on his adopted daughter, Sharan.

At this moment, Shen Ye, who had activated his professional Sanda skills, experienced a surge in aura. Although he restrained himself for fear that his aura would destroy the entire coffee shop, it still put immense pressure on the staff in the coffee shop. Even the airflow became sluggish under the suppression of this aura, and they now found it difficult to even breathe normally.

Those sitting next to Shen Ye, such as Goenitz, experienced it more directly. Goenitz, who was the strongest, was fine and did not feel any physical discomfort, but his expression became slightly serious. Unlike Mature and Vice, who were just surprised and thought that people really cannot be judged by appearances, they did not feel any other changes.

However, Goenitz saw things differently. When Shen Ye’s aura suddenly surged, he noticed a blurry female figure appearing behind him.

Valkyrie!

The overwhelming fighting spirit and pressure made him believe that he was looking directly at the supreme will of the planet... Orochi.

But it was just a blurry figure!

However… Goenitz, who was extremely surprised, showed no panic or fear; instead, he became vaguely excited.

With such immense power, could we perhaps utilize it to change the fate of the Eight Heroes?

Letting out a soft breath, Goenitz said in a low voice, "Shen, I'm not telling you this to cause you trouble. Also, could you please control your aura a little? Sharan, she..."

However, before he could finish speaking, he heard Sharan's painful voice.

"Dad, I suddenly feel a little unwell..."

Although she possesses the bloodline of Orochi, Sharan is still a child and has not yet awakened the power that the storm gave her.

Upon hearing Sharan's pained voice, Shen Ye quickly suppressed his aura, and the air in the coffee shop returned to normal.

Chapter 696! Reasons for Not Wanting to Awaken

……

"Feel sorry……"

Shen Ye scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly. After suddenly hearing Goenitz's words, he forgot that Sharan was still a child and her ability to cope was much weaker than that of the adults.

However, this was only because he had restrained most of his power. If he had really gone all out, the hotel would have had to renovate the roof.

The profession of Sanda (Chinese kickboxing) is not as reserved and subtle as that of a wandering samurai; it is quite domineering.

After Shen Ye withdrew all his aura, Goenitz got up to comfort Sharan, who was quite frightened by his sudden outburst.

At this moment, Mai Zhuo picked up her coffee, took a sip, and said with lingering fear, "I remember there's an old saying in your country, 'Don't judge a book by its cover.' Now it seems that's really true. What you just did was truly terrifying."

As she said this, Weiss, who was standing next to her, nodded in agreement.

Although the two of them didn't see the Valkyrie's afterimage like Goenitz did, they could still feel the immense power within Shen Ye that they couldn't match. They were certain that if Shen Ye had wanted to make a move just now, of the three present, only Goenitz would have survived. She and Weiss would probably have to go through reincarnation again and wait for their next awakening.

"Speaking of which, for someone with your strength to participate in the KOF tournament... tsk, isn't that a bit unfair to those fighters?" Vice was very sensitive to strength because her specialty was overwhelming others with brute force. She hadn't awakened yet, but she was confident that she could easily defeat a small portion of the participants with her physical strength alone. However, in front of Shen Ye, she couldn't even muster much resistance.

Right after saying that, Weiss suddenly looked at Mature, and Mature looked at her too; the two exchanged a knowing glance.

The two suddenly remembered a question: if Rugal had been here, he probably would have canceled the fight.

At this moment, Shen Ye was drinking the black tea brought by the waiter. He had to admit that the tea-making skills here were excellent, and the amount of sugar added to the black tea was just right, which made him very satisfied.

After taking a few comfortable sips, he began to respond to Weiss's words.

"Actually, I've already been very restrained. If I were to use my full strength... to be honest, even if all eight of you were to combine your strength, you might not be able to beat me."
