KOF: Rise of the King of Fighters

Yan Yue stared quietly at the beautiful woman who had fainted on the ground. Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a commotion downstairs. It turned out that the residents on the ground floor of the building had started to get restless for some reason.

Yan Yue realized that this was most likely because the laser weapon used by the female assassin had caused panic among everyone. After all, the bombing sound just now was indeed quite loud.

However, time was of the essence, and Yan Yue couldn't afford to dwell on these questions. He quickly bent down and effortlessly hoisted the sexy female assassin onto his shoulder. Immediately afterward, Yan Yue activated his Nen at full power.

Soon, Yan Yue used his lightness skill to return to the interior of the Geese Building. Just then, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind—he remembered that there was a huge prison on the upper floor, which was once used to imprison Sakazaki Yuri.

Thinking of this, Yan Yue immediately carried the female assassin and ran quickly towards the floor where the prison was located.

When Yan Yue finally arrived at the prison, he found that some sturdy chains still remained inside. This was undoubtedly good news. He quickly and carefully put Lian Xin down and skillfully used the chains to tightly bind the female assassin's hands and feet, ensuring that she could not escape.

However, when Yan Yue was binding the female assassin, he always felt that the large expanse of her snow-white skin on her chest was being revealed too much.

Gazing at the female assassin tightly chained before him, Yan Yue found his gaze involuntarily drawn to her alluring chest. Whenever his eyes fell upon it, strange thoughts and images would involuntarily surface in his mind.

Yan Yue quickly took a deep breath, and then slowly reached out his hand towards the female assassin's exposed breasts.

With a soft "whoosh," Yan Yue swiftly zipped up the female assassin's top. As the zipper closed, the previously exposed cleavage was instantly concealed, and the female assassin's image immediately became much more dignified and proper.

After doing all this, Yan Yue breathed a long sigh of relief and muttered to herself, "Hmm, it looks much better now!"

Having said that, he didn't look at the female assassin again and turned to get back to the operation.

Yan Yue used her senses to find all the items on the female assassin's body, but to Yan Yue's dismay, these items were all inside the female assassin's clothes.

For her own safety, Yan Yue blushed and tried to unbutton the assassin's clothes, searching her for everything on her body.

……

An hour later, Yan Yue channeled her spiritual energy into Lian Xin, who slowly opened her eyes, her consciousness gradually returning, and she slowly regained consciousness.

When her still somewhat bewildered gaze focused on what was in front of her, she trembled violently as if struck by lightning. For sitting before her was none other than Yan Yue!

Lian Xin instinctively wanted to rush forward and kill the other party, but her hands and feet were already tightly bound by iron chains, and she seemed to have been stripped of her strength by Yan Yue's psychic energy, making it impossible for her to move at all.

Lianxin was unwilling to sit and wait for her death, so she struggled with all her might. But the chains were too strong, and no matter how hard she tried, it was all in vain.

Not only that, Lianxin was surprised to find that all the various weapons she usually carried with her for killing enemies and self-defense were now neatly arranged not far from Yanyue.

Among the pile of weapons, the first thing that caught the eye was her pair of high-tech metal wrist guards, gleaming with a cold light; next were several daggers of various shapes, some as sharp as crescent moons, others as venomous as snakes; in addition, there was the small and exquisite miniature communicator, which she had just used to contact her superiors.

However, at that moment, Lianxin suddenly noticed a pocket watch lying next to these weapons! The pocket watch looked quite old, but its exquisite craftsmanship was still evident, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary item.

When Lianxin saw the pocket watch, her face instantly darkened, and her eyes revealed undisguised sorrow and hatred. She clenched her teeth tightly, staring intently at Yan Yue with a hateful gaze, as if she wanted to devour him alive.

At the same time, Yan Yue also noticed Lian Xin's sad emotional change.

Yan Yue, who had been quietly observing Lian Xin's every move, suddenly spoke up: "Don't waste your energy moving around! You are a prisoner now!"

Immediately afterwards, Yan Yue reached out and picked up the metal wristband that Lian Xin had been wearing, then turned her gaze back to Lian Xin and asked in a deep voice, "Speak, who exactly are you? Why did you try to kill me just now?"

However, Lian Xin sat there quietly, her lips tightly pressed together, not uttering a word. Her beautiful eyes, however, were like two sharp swords, piercing straight at Yan Yue, filled with murderous intent and anger.

Yan Yue stared intently at Lian Xin, trying to catch a clue from her expression and eyes, but all her efforts were in vain.

Helpless, Yan Yue shook her head slightly, almost laughing in exasperation. It seemed she had been too easy to talk to.

Yan Yue stared intently at Lian Xin, and asked one last time, "Is it 'Sanctioning Dark Alley' or 'Mephisto'? This is our last chance!" His voice was deep and serious, as if carrying an invisible pressure.

However, faced with Yan Yue's questioning, Lian Xin simply looked at him silently, a hint of wavering in her eyes. She bit her lip, her hands trembling slightly, but she kept her lips tightly shut, refusing to utter a single word.

Seeing this, Yan Yue finally lost his patience. He angrily stretched out his right hand and grabbed the technological wristband. This wristband emitted a mysterious light, and the technology it contained was clearly extremely strange and advanced. Without hesitation, Yan Yue mobilized his powerful inner energy, instantly gathering his power in his palm.

"I rarely kill people, and I never kill women..."

With a furious tug, accompanied by a dull thud, the once indestructible high-tech wristband was easily and violently dismantled as if made of paper. Fragments scattered and fell to the ground, making a series of crisp impact sounds. In the blink of an eye, the wristband had turned into a pile of scrap metal, scattered at his feet.

"However, it's still possible to disable your ability to kill!" As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Yue grabbed Lian Xin's arm and used her Nen again to severely injure the inside of Lian Xin's arm.

"Ugh!" Lian Xin cried out in pain, realizing that her upper body had instantly lost all strength and she collapsed to the ground. Panic immediately gripped her; as an assassin, she knew what losing the ability to kill meant.

Immediately afterward, Yan Yue picked up a pocket watch from the pile of weapons and gently opened the cover. Inside the watch face was a slightly worn photograph of a happy family of three. The blonde girl in the center had a bright and gentle smile, bearing a striking resemblance to the cold and beautiful female assassin before her.

"!!!"

Just then, Lian Xin, who had been silent all along, suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, her gaze fixed on the pocket watch in Yan Yue's hand. Her already pale face instantly turned ashen, her body trembled uncontrollably, and her expression became increasingly anxious and panicked.

Yan Yue's keen senses immediately detected Lian Xin's sudden change in emotion.

He frowned slightly, raised the pocket watch in his hand, and examined it carefully, pondering to himself, "Why would this pocket watch cause Lian Xin to lose her composure like this?"

The more Yan Yue thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed. She decided to stop hesitating and reached out to forcefully break the chain connecting the pocket watch, wanting to find out what was inside. Perhaps there was a tracker, a positioning device, or even a deadly bomb or hidden weapon hidden inside.

"No! No!" Seeing that Yan Yue was about to destroy the pocket watch that was so important to her, Lian Xin could no longer remain silent and shouted anxiously. Her voice was so loud that it even sounded a little broken and tearful.

"Oh? You've finally spoken!" Hearing Lian Xin's call, Yan Yue not only didn't stop what she was doing, but instead smiled smugly.

Because he knew that his actions had successfully broken down Lianxin's psychological defenses, causing the woman who had kept her lips tightly closed to finally reveal the truth.

However, at the same time, he couldn't help but wonder, thinking that this pocket watch must have a very important meaning for Lianxin.

"Don't touch that pocket watch anymore..." Lianxin's face was filled with despair and helplessness. Tears welled up in her eyes like a burst dam, streaming down her pale, porcelain-like cheeks. She seemed to have lost all her strength and was about to collapse.

However, Yan Yue remained unmoved by Lian Xin's pitiful appearance. On the contrary, his wariness only intensified.

This woman is an elite assassin. After all, Yan Yue herself was being targeted by an assassin. In this dangerous environment, any carelessness could lead to irreversible consequences.

So even though Lianxin was crying her eyes out, Yanyue still held the pocket watch tightly and said coldly, "Why should I listen to you? You have to give me a reason!" With that, she made a move to disassemble the pocket watch again.

Lian Xin inwardly groaned, knowing full well that she was now completely under Yan Yue's control and powerless to resist. Reluctantly, she chose to compromise, softly replying, "Mephisto..."

Yan Yue frowned slightly, seemingly not having heard Lian Xin's words clearly, and pressed on, "What? Speak louder!"

Lianxin took a deep breath and spoke again: "My name is Lianxin Levier, and I come from the Mephisto Organization."

"It really is Mephisto!"

After hearing this, Yan Yue's face showed a hint of surprise and confusion. Then she asked in an annoyed tone, "If that's the case, why did you attack me? I've never provoked you, let alone bothered with your petty affairs!"

Lian Xin dared not disobey and stated expressionlessly, "I am ordered to secretly monitor the Giss Building. If any gang attempts to seize this building, I must act decisively and eliminate them completely to ensure that the organization's interests are not harmed."

"Which eye of yours saw me occupy the Geely Building?"

Faced with Yan Yue's questioning, Lian Xin lowered her head, her eyes flickering uncertainly. After hesitating for a moment, she slowly raised her head and looked at Yan Yue, a hint of resentment in her eyes.

"Because you, along with Terry and Ryo Sakazaki, are all fighters capable of defeating Geese. Furthermore, you've also defeated Rugal, so you pose a considerable threat to our organization..."

"What is your leader's name?" Yan Yue stared sharply at Lian Xin in front of her and asked in a serious tone.

Lian Xin replied coldly, her face expressionless, "Duke, though some people also call him the Duke."

Upon hearing the name, Yan Yue frowned, lost in thought. After a while, he shook his head, indicating that he had never heard of this person before. He cursed inwardly: "Where the hell did this guy come from?"

Just then, Yan Yue seemed to suddenly remember something important, and his expression turned serious. He immediately stepped forward, closing in on Lian Xin, and demanded sharply, "Have the other organization members been keeping an eye on Sakazaki Ryo and Terry?"

Faced with Yan Yue's sudden questioning, Lian Xin remained calm. After a brief pause, she slowly said, "So far, our organization has determined that your position is neutral, and therefore we have no intention of taking any action against the people of Extreme Flow and Phantom Bar." After speaking, she quietly looked at Yan Yue, observing his reaction.

After hearing this, Yan Yue still didn't quite believe Lian Xin's words, but there was no point in holding her back now. Yan Yue also didn't know which experts were among Mephisto's members, and the more enemies there were, the more trouble it would cause.

So, Yan Yue slowly walked up to Lian Xin, who was bound by iron chains, and hesitated for a moment. Then, he reached out and gently loosened the heavy iron chains binding Lian Xin. The chains struck the ground with a crisp sound, like a joyful celebration of liberation.

Lianxin was somewhat surprised by Yan Yue's actions, wondering why Yan Yue could so readily believe her words.

"Since you didn't kill me outright, let's make a deal."

"What do you mean?" Lianxin asked, puzzled.

However, Yan Yue did not completely let his guard down. He solemnly warned Lian Xin, "Although I have chosen to release you for now, please remember that I do not trust you. As for this pocket watch, I will keep it for now and return it to you after I have investigated the matter."

Upon hearing this, Lian Xin's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in astonishment, "What!?"

However, Lianxin knew she had no power to take it back. She quickly regained her composure and coldly replied, "If the pocket watch is damaged in the slightest, I will absolutely not let you or anyone around you off the hook!"

Faced with Lian Xin's threat, Yan Yue showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, she looked directly into Lian Xin's eyes without flinching and said righteously, "Similarly, if you dare to harm my friends, I will not let you off easily!"

Upon hearing this, Lian Xin snorted coldly and glanced at Yan Yue with a complicated expression. She truly hadn't expected that this boy, who was about her age, could be so powerful, and that he had released her so easily.

At this moment, Yan Yue turned her back to Lian Xin and said calmly, "Alright, Lian Xin, it's getting late, we should all head back now."

"Please keep today's events a secret... If you have any questions, you can come to me..."

After saying that, he ignored Lianxin, gripped the pocket watch tightly, and walked out of the Giss Building without looking back.

As Lianxin watched Yan Yue's receding figure, especially when she saw the pocket watch clutched tightly in his hand, her heart was filled with grief and indignation.

Lianxin recalled that night when her parents shielded her as a young child, and then they died tragically before her eyes...

After a while, Yan Yue had left, and Lian Xin slowly came back to her senses from her memories, returning to the real world. At this moment, she felt weak and powerless all over, as if all her strength had been drained away.

Lianxin struggled weakly to her feet, then began to carefully examine her own body. In an instant, she froze, as if struck by lightning.

She finally came to her full realization and understood everything Yan Yue had done to her:

While she was unconscious, Yan Yue took off her clothes.

That despicable guy had actually taken all her belongings and humiliatingly placed them aside. Thinking of this, Lianxin was filled with shame and indignation, her pretty face instantly turning bright red.

What's even more infuriating is that Yan Yue helped her put her leather jacket back on, zipping it up tightly. This seemingly considerate but actually insulting gesture fueled Lian Xin's burning anger even more fiercely.

"Yan Yue... I will kill you with my own hands one day!" Lian Xin roared through gritted teeth. Her originally beautiful face became somewhat distorted due to extreme shyness and anger, and her beautiful eyes flashed with terrifying killing intent and raging fury.
