Martial artists can never be ultimately insulted

Yuan Chen nodded, noting down the location Ingrid had marked. He then stood up and looked around at the surrounding stench-filled air, saying:

"We're all about to leave anyway... Without any more worries, let's do whatever we want and let go of our gloomy feelings."

"Ah."

Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Sagat nodded understandingly and said, "I do have some things I need to explain to them."

"I haven't avenged myself or my father yet!" Huo Yindan said with high spirits.

"Those people from Xiaduer are Shadow Luo's lackeys, aren't they? I'll show them what happens when they anger Master Huoyin Dan!"

Chun-Li didn't say anything, but it was clear that she was in a bad mood.

Whether it's Yuan Chen's decision, Yuan's terminal illness, or the sudden attack that has occurred, everything is too sudden and too intense.

Tong Ang, on the other hand, remained remarkably calm, simply standing up and saying:

“I will arrange for police officers to evacuate the nearby streets. Let them make a scene... Yingluo, give me a response. I also need to give Yingluo a response.”

"Sigh." Yuan leaned back in his chair with an air of nonchalance. "You guys better be careful, I can't be of much help right now."

Yuan Chen simply pursed his lips and remained silent.

It would be strange if Yuan Neng had nothing to do.

Thinking about it, Yuan Chen patted Chun Li on the shoulder.

Noticing Chunli's somewhat unfocused and confused gaze, Yuan Chen calmly said, "If you feel depressed, just let the pressure out."

Upon hearing this, Chunli remained silent for a moment, then her eyes gradually hardened, finally transforming into an undisguised determination.

"Ok!"

On the other side, in Hong Kong, at the Sanyuan Club's headquarters, on the top floor of a two-story attic in a Chinese courtyard.

Looking at the man seated at the head of the table, a young woman with her hair in two buns and braids hanging down, holding a long stick, dressed in a martial arts outfit and arm guards, said with an unfriendly expression:

“Baroque, abducting this woman is not part of the organization’s plan. Our first priority is to leave Hong Kong and minimize unnecessary risks.”

As soon as the voice faded, another young woman with short hair and a military beret spoke in a cold voice:

"You'd better give me an accurate and reasonable answer right now, or I will consider you a traitor and take you back to Lord Vega for trial."

"Don't be so nervous, it's September, it's October~"

Hearing the two women's words, the man named Baroque paid them no attention whatsoever. He didn't even look at them, but instead gazed at his own reflection in the mirror, admiring it slowly and deliberately. After a moment, he said in a leisurely manner:

“I’ve already investigated everything. The hotel where Tong Ang is staying is just an ordinary old hotel. The letter was also sent using a mental energy amplification device… We’re leaving Hong Kong soon, so why not use the remaining mental energy here? Let’s use it to intimidate them and let them know the consequences of going against Ying Luo!”

"The only troublesome guy is probably the one who defeated Sagat, right? But judging from the video, his physical exhaustion is so severe that he probably won't be able to get out of bed for the next two or three months!"

"What about Sagat and Dawn?!" the two questioned.

Baroque sneered and said, "I can't wait for Sagat and the others to arrive! It'll be perfect for Lord Vega to see who Shadow's true right-hand men are, who is truly powerful and beautiful!"

"Unfortunately... they might not even have time to find this place!"

Volume 1: Chapter 52 - The Surprise Attack on Shadow Luo

Upon hearing Baroque's words, a hint of disgust flashed across the faces of the two women in September and October.

"Our first task is to leave Hong Kong immediately to prevent our members from being arrested by Interpol, and to attempt to recover the Terracotta Warriors! You'd better be careful what you do, or Lord Vega will make you pay the price!"

Listening to the two women's words and feeling their gazes, Baroque's face was full of boredom.

"She has a pretty face, but she has no idea how to show it off... Lord Vega's power is indeed strong, but unfortunately she is still lacking in the creation of beauty."

September and October clearly didn't take this to heart, simply snorting before turning and leaving.

Baroque simply shook his head rather listlessly, then took out his phone to re-examine the battlefield footage recorded by the surveillance cameras.

The content is none other than the process of Yuan Chen and Chun Li confronting Sagat back then.

Looking at Yuan Chen and Chun Li in the video, Baroque's eyes narrowed slightly.

It's beautiful... It would be even better if they found that letter, then it would be worth coming all the way from the Japanese fighting world to clean up the mess left by that idiot Sagat.

Meanwhile, after calming down, the group set off together. While driving, Tong Ang used the database of Interpol Hong Kong Headquarters to find out the relevant information about the building where Ingrid pointed out the location.

Upon receiving the relevant information, a look of surprise flashed across Tong Ang's eyes.

"What's wrong?" Chunli asked curiously from the side.

“The Mihara Society,” Tong Ang said. “The location marked by Miss Ingrid is the headquarters of the Mihara Society.”

As he said this, he seemed to remember Sagat and the others beside him. They were not native Hong Kongers, and Yuan Chen had only lived in Hong Kong for three years, so they might not know about some things that happened more than ten years ago. So he quickly said:

"Back when Hong Kong was the heart of the Asian fighting scene, the Sanyuan Gang was the largest gang in Hong Kong and one of the largest organizers of underground fighting arenas. They had a great influence on many older generations of Hong Kongers. I never imagined they would be a pawn of Yingluo!!"

Upon hearing Tong's words, Sagat nodded thoughtfully, and then said:

"It shouldn't be... Although I don't remember very clearly, I do remember that when I was still working inside the Shadow Sect, the Mihara Society was still in the infiltration plan... If I remember correctly, it seems to be personally led by members of Vega's December Guard."

Upon hearing Sagat's words, Yuan Chen recalled them briefly, and a look of understanding appeared in his eyes after a moment.

No wonder Yuan Chen had no recollection of it, because this should be a storyline that took place after Dion's death during the Street Fighter IV era.

Chun-Li returned to Hong Kong to search for clues about Ying-Luo. With Yuan's help, she discovered the problems of the Mihara Society. Subsequently, she joined forces with 'Flying Dragon,' an action actor modeled after Bruce Lee, to attack the Mihara Society's headquarters.

Because Yuan also participated in the operation, the battle started smoothly. Unfortunately, Yuan's illness broke out at a critical moment, which allowed some of the Shadows to escape.

The December Guard, on the other hand, was Vega's private army.

Initially, Vega assigned his men to kidnap hundreds of young girls from around the world. Once brought back to the Shadow Luo base, these girls were completely brainwashed, all their past memories erased, and then subjected to brutal physical and various espionage training. Through constant elimination, only thirteen survived…

It's normal for the December unit to have thirteen people, just like the Shadow Warriors' Four Heavenly Kings have five.

Besides being members of the bodyguard and Shadow Luo agents, these thirteen girls were also pre-prepared containers for Vega's soul to be reincarnated.

The reason they are all girls is not because Vega wants to be reincarnated as a beautiful girl, but simply because a part of his spiritual power comes from a woman. In the case of physical destruction and soul reincarnation, the spiritual power generated by a woman's body is the least depleted.

At the same time, the enhancement of their mental strength also gives their bodies greater resilience and endurance when facing various enhancement and modification experiments.

"arrive."

Just as Yuan Chen was still thinking, Tong Ang slammed on the brakes and stopped at the street corner, showing his senior agent credentials to the Interpol members who had already sealed off the area.

"Protect the evacuation of personnel, and leave the rest to us."

As he said this, Tongang took out an electronic key and unlocked the electronic shackles on Sagat's ankles.

"Although the incident was sudden, if you can perform well in this operation, you might be able to have some of the unfavorable charges and punishments dropped."

Upon hearing Tong's words, Sagat simply nodded silently.

Clearly, Dawn had been planning how to exonerate Sagat for a long time—or rather, reduce his punishment.

Previously, Tong Ang didn't know much about Sagat, and he had reservations about Yuan Chen's attempt to mitigate Sagat's punishment by appealing to the victim's forgiveness.

After truly understanding Sagat, Dawn also realized some things.

Sagat simply made the mistakes that many martial artists make... well, mainly because Sagat had a good attitude in admitting his mistakes, and had not actually committed any unforgivable crimes such as murder. Furthermore, after getting to know him over this period of time, Dōen keenly realized that Sagat's heart was simply that of a pure martial artist.

Tong Ang never hesitates to give more choices and opportunities to those who have strayed from the right path and truly realized their mistakes.

Having learned why Dawn did this, Sagat simply nodded and then wrapped the bandage around his fist.

"Whatever the outcome, I will choose to accept it."

"How should we divide the work?"

“Chun-Li and I are going to rescue people. I’ll leave the senior officers of Shadow Law to you all,” Tong Ang said. “As for the other accomplices, well, Interpol’s special operations team will handle them.”

With the division of labor determined, the fishermen prepared their own meals and drinks.

Still unaware of what had happened outside, the two guards from the Sanyuan Society approached Yuan Chen and his group with unfriendly expressions upon their arrival.

"Hey! What are you doing here? This isn't a place you can just come and go as you please—"

But before the guard could finish speaking, Yuan Chen and Sagat raised their arms in unison.

With a double punch, Sagat landed a heavy uppercut directly into the guard's abdomen, causing his soft abdominal cavity to cave in. Yuan Chen, on the other hand, received a straight punch to the chest, and was sent flying several meters away with a sickening cracking sound!

"Enemy attack!!!"

Volume 1: Chapter 53 - Violence

Noticing the commotion outside, Baroque, who was watching the battle video, stood up, somewhat annoyed, and went outside, coldly demanding, "What's going on? Why is it so noisy?!"

Upon hearing Baroque's voice, the thugs of the Mihara Gang initially disregarded it and wanted to retort fiercely. However, upon realizing that it seemed to be that important figure from "above," they immediately suppressed their emotions and instead said in a panic:

"It looks like Interpol! And Sagat? Sagat is here too!"

"Um?!"

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Baroque, who had initially appeared indifferent, raised an eyebrow in surprise, but then said:

"Then let's go fight! I'll come over after I've finished watching."

Baroque disliked, even hated, Sagat.

The reason is simple: in the internal ranking of the Shadow Organization, Vega ranked Sagat second in terms of seniority, strength, potential, and aesthetics—even though he was the strongest in all of these areas.

But as much as he may dislike him, the fact that Vega values ​​him so highly suggests that Sagat must possess considerable power.

If you don't want to waste time with this aesthetically unappealing guy, then let these insignificant lackeys test the guy's quality. At worst, they'll expend some energy, saving you from wasting your own time and energy for no reason.

Meanwhile, upon entering the pavilion and sensing the life energy emanating from the space, Yuan Chen did not pause but headed directly towards the top floor.

“I’ve spotted a member of the December unit here. They’re using long staffs, and their codename should be October. It might take a little while, but it shouldn’t be a big problem,” Sagat’s voice came through the microphone.

“Then it should be September here with my father, no problem.” It was Chunli’s voice.

"Wow! Come and taste the power of Master Huoyin Dan!"

"Stay calm and focus on the alchemy; there are many skilled practitioners here!"

"..."

Listening to the various voices coming through the earpiece, Yuan Chen shook his head, then took off the earpiece and put it in his pocket.

Although Yuan Chen had just woken up from his coma after the battle with Sagat a day earlier, it did not prevent him from entering battle mode once again.

Although eating and training with those guys like Sagat at Han Yuan Ting was indeed a great experience... how should I put it? It really suited Yuan Chen's inner preferences better to be on a real battlefield.

As the main building of the Triad headquarters, this is a huge square hall that comes into view as soon as Yuan Chen enters the pavilion.

The staircases on both sides connect to the second floor. If I remember correctly, this is the arena used in Hong Kong or the Asian fighting world.

However, compared to the arena or anything like that, Yuan Chen felt that this was more like the Aoba House where Bill was killed and the gangster woman was chased.

Now, having heard news of an enemy attack, a large number of thugs and rioters who hate all kinds of weapons are pouring out of the surrounding rooms and staircases.

In a short time, it occupied every corner from the first floor to the second floor.

As far as the eye can see, there are people everywhere, and the light reflected from the various weapons is so bright that it hurts the eyes.

Looking around at the bloody scene, the man, his face as black as iron, suddenly revealed a hint of ferocity in his cold eyes.

Even though the Triads were the ones with the manpower to unload the swords, the hundred or so of them felt an invisible pressure coming from them. They were inexplicably three points less imposing than Yuan Chen.

Yuan Chen paid no attention to this. He activated his blood and qi, and the surging energy directly bypassed the meridians and violently injected into the muscles and tendons of his body.

Immediately following, as his muscles tightened and his skin taut, Yuan Chen felt a surge of urges within his body, making him feel incredibly excited, as if he had taken a pre-workout supplement.

This was a feeling completely different from that of a classic martial artist. The impulse of flesh and blood mixed with the impending violence. Even on his first experience, Yuan Chen understood why many modern martial arts novices could beat up classic martial arts novices.

Even without fully understanding the underlying principles, this pure strength and mental excitement are enough to influence the course of the battle.

Looking at the thugs charging towards him, Yuan Chen didn't even get into a fighting stance; he simply tensed his muscles and clenched his fists.

Looking at Yuan Chen, who was walking towards them, the thugs of the Sanyuan Gang instinctively retreated at first, but then they realized that Yuan Chen was alone. As they looked at each other, the thugs roared and growled, and rushed towards Yuan Chen in unison.

The first attack came from the side and rear, a blade flashing with cold light slashing upwards towards Yuan Chen's head.

Yuan Chen showed not a trace of panic on his face. In the midst of the chaos, Yuan Chen's figure suddenly disappeared without any warning.

No, it didn't disappear; it simply moved too fast, exceeding the limits of what their eyes could capture.
