KOF: Rise of the King of Fighters

Ryo Sakazaki and the master continued their fierce battle. Initially, the two were evenly matched, but after Engetsu defeated the gang leader, the master's fighting spirit gradually waned, and his movements became sluggish. However, Ryo Sakazaki's anger remained strong, and his attacks became increasingly fierce.

Ryo Sakazaki roared, "Haoh Sho-Raging Fist!"

He gathered powerful internal energy in his hands once more, emitting a dazzling blue light, and then swiftly unleashed it. A massive energy wave, even larger than a human, flew straight towards the expert.

The expert instantly lost her chance to dodge and could only use both hands to protect her chest, desperately trying to block the attack. The powerful gust of wind sent her flying dozens of meters away, her clothes instantly tearing, her hat being blown off, and her long, golden hair cascading down, revealing her beautiful and spirited face. At the same time, the expert's stamina began to wane.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ryo Sakazaki continued his charge forward, unleashing a series of special attacks.

First came a Tiger Flame Fist, followed immediately by a Flying Swallow Gale Kick.

Finally, Ryo Sakazaki's attack broke through the expert's defense, and at the same time, completely tore his clothes, revealing the woman's underwear underneath.

"A woman?" Ryo Sakazaki stared in surprise at the scene before him. His eyes widened, his mouth slightly agape, and his body involuntarily stopped, abruptly halting his prepared next attack.

The woman blushed deeply, feeling both ashamed and angry. She covered her chest with her hands, her beautiful eyes glaring fiercely at Ryo Sakazaki, as if she wanted to devour him alive. Ryo Sakazaki, embarrassed, looked away, unable to bear looking at the beautiful woman before him, and slowly said, "I'm sorry."

The scene suddenly became awkward, and the atmosphere became extremely strange. Yan Yue and the gang leader both watched silently, unsure how to react to this unexpected situation. The gang leader was stunned by Sakazaki Ryo's attack and his subordinate's good looks, momentarily speechless.

Yan Yue hadn't expected Ryo Sakazaki to be so fierce, even tearing the man's clothes. From the beginning, Yan Yue sensed the expert's incredibly curvaceous physique, suspecting he was a woman, and guessing he might be King. She just hadn't expected Ryo Sakazaki, this steely hunk, to be so domineering… But then Yan Yue thought again, oh well, at least the two of you know each other now. But then she wondered, why is King in the yakuza?

Sensing the awkward situation, Yan Yue quickly shifted the focus, pointing at the gang leader and angrily shouting, "Baldy, explain yourself! Do you know where Sakazaki Yuri is?"

At the same time, Ryo Sakazaki also came to his senses, hurriedly walked up to the yakuza boss, grabbed his collar tightly, and roared angrily with wide eyes, "You seem to have known me from the beginning, you must know something! Tell me now!"

Then came a crisp sound—"Ping!"

The eldest brother gasped, his face contorted in pain, and he hissed.

It turned out that Yan Yue picked up the gang leader's steel rod and mercilessly struck his smooth head. Immediately following was another loud, crisp sound.

"Pong!"

Yan Yue remained expressionless and coldly questioned, "Will you talk or not?"

"Ping!"

"Say or not?"

"Ping!"

With a series of crisp tapping sounds, large bumps had already formed on the leader's head. Ryo Sakazaki, standing to the side, was speechless at the sight, but he didn't stop it.

"Will you talk or not, will you talk or not, will you talk or not..." Yan Yue showed no sign of stopping, repeating the action over and over, as if she wanted to knock her boss's head until it was cracked.

"I said... oh... I said, stop hitting me, stop hitting me..."

Only when the eldest brother begged for mercy did the two of them stop.

Mr. Big. This is the title of the gang leader; everyone here calls him Mr. Big. Big was a figure who fought for supremacy in South Town at the same time as Geese, but Geese's strength far surpassed his. After Geese became all-powerful, Big's power gradually diminished, and he could only obey Geese's orders afterward. The disappearance of Yuri Sakazaki was at Geese's behest, and Big's motive is unclear. Yuri was kidnapped by Big and his henchman King on her way to find her friend and was then taken to Geese's place. Big knew that Ryo Sakazaki would come looking for her sooner or later, but he didn't expect her to find him here so quickly.

"Gis!" Ryo Sakazaki clenched his fist and said his name angrily.

After listening, Yan Yue observed King more closely. She saw King slumped to one side, his face extremely pale, as if he were under immense pressure. So Yan Yue quickly ran to the door, grabbed a black suit jacket from one of the henchmen, and then swiftly returned to Sakazaki Ryo and handed it to him.

"What is this...?" Ryo Sakazaki asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Look, you've torn her clothes. After all, she's a girl, this isn't right. Go get this piece of clothing and cover her up a bit," Yan Yue explained.

After hearing this, Ryo Sakazaki nodded a little shyly, took the clothes, and then walked over and gently tossed them to King. King caught the clothes steadily, a look of surprise and gratitude on his face.

Looking at King, Ryo Sakazaki said softly, whether out of shyness or guilt, "King? I don't think you're like a gangster."

However, King did not respond, his eyes lifeless, revealing a hint of sadness and helplessness. At this moment, Yan Yue keenly sensed King's emotional fluctuations and couldn't help but feel a sense of doubt. Could there be some hidden story behind this?

So Yan Yue said to King, "Hey, Sister King." Her voice was clear and melodious, like a spring breeze brushing past her ear.

King was momentarily lost in thought, her mind seemingly drifting far away, when she was suddenly pulled back to reality by the call. She looked blankly at the handsome man in front of her, who was wearing sunglasses and was a few years younger than her.

Yan Yue continued, "If you have any troubles, you can come to the Karate Kyokugenryu Dojo to find us. We're going to fight Geese and rescue his sister."

Looking at King's strange expression and listening to Engetsu's words, Ryo Sakazaki seemed to understand that the woman in front of him had some unspeakable difficulties. His firm yet gentle gaze was like a warm sun, making people feel at ease and trusting.

“My name is Ryo Sakazaki. I’m the head of the Karate Kyokugenryu school. I’ll settle the score with Geese.” After saying that, Ryo Sakazaki smiled and nodded to King, displaying confidence and responsibility. Then, the two gradually walked away, their figures fading into the distance, leaving King standing there quietly, his heart filled with complex emotions.

"..." King remained silent, only watching their departing figures, tears glistening in his eyes.

Afterwards, Engetsu and Ryo Sakazaki returned to the dojo. Ryo also called Robert to explain the situation, and Robert responded with his approval, expressing his full support for their actions.

Yan Yue looked at Sakazaki Ryo with a suspicious expression and asked, "What's going on? Why isn't Robert here?"

Ryo Sakazaki frowned and replied in a heavy tone, "Robert's family has experienced a major crisis. He has a very important financial crisis to deal with, which is why he left the dojo. It was during the few days he was away that Yuri was kidnapped."

As he spoke, Ryo Sakazaki looked at Engetsu with a hint of gratitude in his eyes: "Fortunately, you came here and helped us a lot."

After hearing this, Yan Yue pondered silently. Although she didn't know the plot of Art of Fighting, Robert should have appeared in South Town with Ryo Sakazaki. The dragon represented Ryo, and the tiger represented Robert, but now Robert had left because of family matters. It seemed that the story of this world had changed, perhaps because her time travel had triggered a butterfly effect. But in any case, the most important thing now was to find Geese and rescue Yuri.

After a moment of silence, Yan Yue suggested, "Why don't we rest first, and then go and inquire about Gis tomorrow? Since Baihe was kidnapped, she's probably not in any danger, and my senior brother should be arriving soon. We can go find Gis together then."

Ryo Sakazaki nodded in agreement. Afterwards, they each returned to their rooms to rest. Yan Yue wondered how to find Terry, since he might already be in South Town.

……

The next day, news of Ryo Sakazaki's raid on Big Bar spread throughout South Town, and the Kyokugenryu disciples discussed it amongst themselves, showering it with admiration and praise. However, because Yuri Sakazaki had gone missing these past few days, Ryo had temporarily closed the dojo, so the news spread rapidly among the disciples on the streets and in their homes, even reaching the point where rumors were circulating that Ryo and Robert could rival Geese and his brother Krauser.

Yan Yue's name was not revealed, which was intentional on his part. He did not reveal his name or moves during the fight in order to hide his strength in case of any unforeseen circumstances. If more of his subordinates came, they would be difficult to deal with. After all, Yan Yue did not know much about the characters in Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting, but there should be a few experts among them. Yan Yue decided to keep a low profile.

The following night, a man and a woman moved swiftly and agilely across the buildings of South Town. The man was muscular, dressed in a white ninja outfit, with long blond hair and a determined, sharp gaze. The woman was graceful, with long, waist-length hair in a single ponytail, dressed in a revealing red ninja outfit, and was stunningly beautiful. They were Andy Bogard and Mai Shiranui. Andy looked around, searching for Terry. Mai Shiranui followed closely behind Andy, constantly alert to any potential danger.

Suddenly, Mai Shiranui pointed ahead and said, "Look, it looks like that!"

Andy looked in the direction Mai Shiranui was pointing and, sure enough, saw a familiar figure. Overjoyed, he quickened his pace, gently landing on the ground with Mai, and walked towards the man wearing a red baseball cap. As they approached, Andy noticed another man standing next to Terry. This man's hands and feet were completely wrapped in combat bandages, his black hair stood on end, and he wore shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, looking quite energetic.

"Brother! Takeshi!" Andy excitedly stepped forward to greet Terry and Takeshi.

"Andy! Mai, I didn't expect you two to come! That's great!" Terry's face lit up with a joyful smile when he saw Andy and Mai Shiranui.

Mai Shiranui was overjoyed to finally find everyone and quickly greeted Terry and Joe with a smile, "Hi, Terry and Joe! I've finally found you!"
