King of Fighters, I became Mai Shiranui's lifelong enemy

Wu Ji sighed deeply, "Two years have passed, and you guys have finally caught up."

In 94, these fighters were still at the level of ordinary street thugs fighting, but in 96...

He looked up and saw the sky burning red with flames.

The best among them have already gained the power to compete with nature.

The next step is the realm of God.

"If I had used a styleless move just now, I might have been defeated by you. Do you want to try again?"

"Humph."

Kyo Kusanagi did not respond, but stared at Wu Ji with deep hatred, as if he wanted to eat him alive.

He raised his fist tremblingly and staggered forward.

"Wild Bite."

"enough!"

Kusanagi Retsu's old but powerful palm firmly clamped his grandson's fist.

The old man's eyes widened in anger. "What on earth happened?! Why did you lose your composure like this?"

Just now, he and Kusanagi Kyoto were just preparing to teach Wu Ji a lesson, let him pay the price for playing tricks on him, and by the way, let Wu Ji return their Kusanagi sword.

But the move that Kyo Kusanagi just used was clearly a fight of life and death, aimed at killing the opponent.

This was terribly wrong, he had lost his mind.

The source of everything was the phone call Kyo Kusanagi received.

"Wu Ji... Wu Ji..." Kusanagi Kyo's eyes were red, and he could hardly suppress his anger. His voice was trembling and hoarse. "He deceived ordinary people and government officials, and stirred up hatred among everyone in today's society towards the Kusanagi family. He demolished my ancestral house, smashed my ancestral hall, and set fire to my house..."

"All the Kusanagi who tried to stop them were arrested and thrown into jail!!!"

He gritted his teeth, his tone sorrowful: "The entire Kusanagi family, the Kusanagi family that has been passed down for thousands of years... just today, it is completely gone!"

Kusanagi Retsu grabbed Kusanagi Kyo and shouted, "Where's Shibafune? What the hell is that bastard doing? Why doesn't he step up and take charge of the situation at a time like this?"

"Father...Father was the first one to be imprisoned by government secret agents. Because of what happened last year, he will soon be sent to an international court for trial."

Kyo Kusanagi said in a sad tone, "My cousin Souji just called to inform me that he has gone into hiding with his few remaining clansmen."

Kusanagi Retsu felt as if the world was spinning around him.

He assured that he had never been so frightened as he was today in his entire life.

Originally, I was just worried that the reputation of this great family, which had been passed down for thousands of years, would be tarnished and criticized, but now it seems that they are facing direct annihilation???

The grandfather and grandson shared the same hatred for the enemy, their blazing eyes were fixed on Wu Ji.

It seems that she is ready to risk her life and die with him.

"Sigh~"

Wu Ji took a deep breath and then began to explain himself.

"Hey, hey, hey, I'm not going to take the blame for this!"

"How come I don't know when I did this?"

"How could I possibly have the ability to persuade the entire nation and the government to liquidate your Kusanagi family?"

"What do I want?"

Wu Ji and Kusanagi Kyo and others did not have any deep hatred. Strictly speaking, he took advantage of others and used the Kusanagi sword to torment Kusanagi and his son.

He relied on his own strength to bully the whole family and remain unharmed.

But if he really forced the other party to lose their family... he couldn't do such a thing.

"Think about it, it's not like if I destroy your Kusanagi family some beautiful girl will throw herself at me. I have no reason to do anything!"

"Don't forget that your Aoi Kusanagi is still working under me!"

"The accusations against my Kusanagi family on TV were clearly yours!" Kusanagi Kyo sneered, exposing Wu Ji's true face: "You maliciously edited the footage of our battle on the ship that day, causing all this to happen!"

"It's you, Wu Ji! I, Kusanagi Kyo, really don't know how I ever offended you. How could you be so cruel! You want to wipe out my entire family!"

Just now, when he saw the footage played on the big screen, he felt someone pointing at him from a distance.

It seems that everything has signs, but I just haven't discovered them yet.

"Nah, I gave that DV recording to the TV station, but they wouldn't show it! I don't know why they're showing it now!"

"Can you guys get the facts straight before you fight?"

Wu Ji had been visiting the shrine with Kagura Chizuru, listening to her stories and watching movies, but he had no idea so many things were happening down the mountain.

He felt something was wrong, very wrong.

That DV recording was just a prop for me to make fun of Kyo Kusanagi.

Even if it is released, it will at most have some impact on Kyo Kusanagi's personal image, and it should not cause such an uproar.

He knew that people who studied journalism and worked in the media would hype up malicious speculations for the sake of popularity.

But if there were no other forces secretly pushing maliciously, this situation would never have happened.

Just the act of guiding the masses to attack the Kusanagi ancestral home is not something that can be done in a normal modern society.

This is not the beautiful country across the ocean, nor is it the Korean country next door, where people storm the Capitol every day.

"Damn it, could it be Iori Yagami who did this? I remember seeing Iori Yagami massacring the entire Kusanagi family in a certain manga, but the Iori Yagami in this world shouldn't be able to do such a thing."

He lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Besides, Yagami just left with Baofeng. He seems to be completely unaware of this."

You can't really beat Kyo Kusanagi and his grandson to death, right?

Killing them would be easy, but this would completely prove that I was the mastermind behind the incident.

Given Wu Ji's good reputation in the past, Kyo Kusanagi did not believe his lies and still had his eyes wide open, ready to attack at any time.

At a time when the situation was tense, Kagura Chizuru arrived gracefully and said, "I have been observing Wu Ji with the Yata Mirror. This incident was definitely not done by him. There may be some misunderstanding."

"Why not...give me some face."

"Let's go down the mountain and see what's going on. If Wu Ji is the one who did this, I will join forces with the two Kusanagi family to fight this great enemy."

The witch's words eased the tense atmosphere like a spring of fresh air.

Kagura is still the one who speaks nicely, but is this an admission that she has a voyeurism problem?

Wu Ji felt that this witch was not very serious.

Chapter 184: Riotous Zero-Yuan Shopping

The excavator's giant steel arm smashed down heavily, and the vermilion beams and pillars of the Kusanagi family ancestral hall broke.

"Tear it down! Tear it all down!"

"This is valuable! Haha, these damn rich people! These vampires should have been finished long ago!"

"Kyo Kusanagi? The guy who bullied others in KOF by relying on his ability to transform into fire? I've always felt he was not a good person."

The crowd was boiling.

The men, with red eyes, swung hammers and smashed the wall of the ancestral house. The woman, holding the antique porcelain vase she had snatched from the inner room, pushed others away with a shrill laugh.

Some young people even held up their cameras to take pictures, their lenses pointed at the spirit tablets in the center of the ancestral hall, and shouted, "You've deceived us for over a thousand years, go to hell!"

A television station helicopter was circling overhead, and the host excitedly shouted, "Dear viewers! This fire of justice has finally burned through the iron curtain of privilege that has existed for thousands of years!"

"False legends and lies will surely be stripped of their ugly masks!"

"The new generation of Heisei youth will not accept the oppression of the old guard!"

It’s a mess, a complete chaos.

Wu Ji didn't expect to see such a crazy zero-dollar shopping scene in Neon.

"Damn these guys! They are beasts with no bottom line. What right do they have!" Kyo Kusanagi saw the place where he grew up destroyed into a mess, and he really wanted to rush up and beat them up.

After Kagura Chizuru's mediation, he decided to trust Wu Ji for once and see what the situation was.

Then he saw something he had never seen before: ordinary people who were crazy and self-righteous, ransacking his house.

How could the Kusanagi family be considered a noble family?

On weekdays, he and his father Kusanagi Shibafu rely on their mother, a doctor, for support. They neither do business nor open a dojo, and they never bully ordinary people.

They are just an ordinary family that honestly guards their ancestral property and lives their own small life. It is just because the inheritance time is a bit long that they existed in legends and myths a thousand years ago.

How could they be promoted as a privileged class?

The most privileged thing he has ever done is being that perpetual high school student.

"Do not impulse!"

Kusanagi Rei's majestic voice sounded from behind him.

"Look over there."

Kyo Kusanagi turned his head and looked in the direction his grandfather pointed.

Security forces in explosion-proof suits stood coldly outside the cordon, their guns pointed at the ground, yet they tacitly allowed the mob to pry open the cellar of the ancestral hall and allowed this modern riot to happen.

"So... is that the official Neon army? Helping them?"

Kyo Kusanagi's voice trembled.

"Well, I think..." Kusanagi Retsu said in a low voice with an unfriendly expression: "They are here to deal with us."

"If you resist, they'll arrest you."

Kyo Kusanagi felt that his outlook on life had been impacted.

"Why?" he asked in disbelief.

There is no legal verdict, no prosecution,

Just because of the propaganda and guidance of news newspapers, ordinary people launched this lawless act of fighting against the rich.

Not only did the officials not stop them, but they helped them deal with the Kusanagi family?

Is this still the modern society he lives in?

Kusanagi Retsu shook his head and glanced at Wu Ji who was watching the show with great interest.

It was not until now that he believed that all this had nothing to do with Wu Ji.

It's outrageous. The video is obviously a maliciously edited and fabricated lie, but it can now mislead so many people into losing their minds.

This doesn't seem like something a fighter would do, but rather something the privileged class would do.

Ordinary people can't do this, and Wu Ji can't do it either. His video was used by someone.

Something must have gone wrong.

"I'm going to see the Emperor of Heaven and ask what the situation is and see if there's any chance of recovery."

"Don't be impulsive and don't let anger burn out your rationality."

After leaving these words, Kusanagi Retsu turned and left without even looking at the Kusanagi old house that was about to be destroyed.

"......Yes."

Kyo Kusanagi clenched his fists and felt deeply powerless.

So what if he can produce Divine Dust and is only one step away from the legendary "Wu Shi"?

He couldn't possibly kill all these ordinary people and security forces in front of him with one punch, right?

Then the Kusanagi family would be truly powerless to turn the situation around.

At this moment, he actually felt that this group of ordinary people were more difficult to deal with than Wu Ji.

"Hey."

Wu Ji bumped into the arm of the down-and-out young man, Kyo Kusanagi.

Kusanagi Kyo weakly replied, "What? I know I wronged you just now, but I'm not in the mood to apologize right now. Let's talk about it later."

"That's not it."
