Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

Seeing that Lei Dao refused to speak, Zi Dian said, "I originally thought that you would put that thing on Ling Yin, so I sent Ling Yin to the Heavenly God Gate and revealed her background."

Upon hearing Zi Dian's words, Lei Dao suddenly struggled. He looked at Zi Dian and suddenly laughed: "My good brother, you are still as disgusting as ever."

"You forced me."

Zi Dian looked at Lei indifferently and said, "That thing resides in a person's body. Only intense emotions can cause it to hatch and manifest. I was also trying to confirm whether that thing was in your daughter. You are the one who harmed your daughter."

Lei Dao couldn't help but laugh: "You're the one who committed the sins, yet you try to shift the blame onto others. I could never learn that skill in my entire life. No wonder I couldn't compete with you back then."

Now Raidou finally understood why Ayane's life had been so difficult.

If he only disliked Ayane's existence, Shiden could have simply sent her out of Shinobi Village, found an orphanage outside, abandoned her there, and left her to fend for herself, while he would simply turn a blind eye.

If Ayane cannot be sent away because of the rules of Shinobi Village, then Shiden could conceal her birth and treat her as an ordinary ninja orphan, handing her over to the village to raise together and live with other orphans. This would also protect Shiden's reputation as the leader of Shinobi Village.

But Zidian refused to let people know that Ayane was Lei Dao's child. He even went so far as to lose face in order to create an environment where Ayane would be bullied and constantly suffer negative emotions.

Fearing the stimulation wouldn't be enough, Zidian even tacitly allowed Xia and Lingyin to play together, deliberately letting Xia come into contact with Changpu and Jifeng, and then having Huanluo take her as his apprentice before telling her the truth.

Despite such a blow, Ayane showed no abnormality. Shiden could only conclude that the item was not on Ayane. This was also the reason why Shiden expelled Ayane from Shinobi Village after Genra's defection—Ayane had completely lost her usefulness and had even become an unstable factor. Since he couldn't kill Ayane because of Hayabusa, he might as well exile her.

"Since you already know that Ayane has suffered so much because of you, then just hand over the things obediently. It'll be better for both of us."

Zi Dian said to Lei Dao.

Lei Dao glared at Zi Dian: "Give up on that idea!"

Zi Dian looked at Lei Dao and said slowly, "I'm not in a hurry. We have plenty of time. I'll let you tell me where the things are slowly."

Lei Dao looked at Zi Dian and suddenly laughed: "Fine, try it if you dare."

Her crimson eyes flashed, and the "Orochi power" that Morishia had sealed away began to slowly come into play.

The poison from Shinobi Village is indeed potent; it can neutralize Raido's internal energy, but it cannot neutralize "Orochi's power."

As time goes by, the power that Morishia left on Raido to seal the "Orochi Power" begins to slowly weaken. As long as he can get through this period and the "Orochi Power" is completely unsealed, he will be able to recover his strength immediately. At that time, no one in Shinobi Village will be his match.

Zidian, your biggest mistake was not killing me immediately!

....................................

At Cat's Eye Cafe, the new manager, Hayato Ijuin, is working tirelessly.

The café was now packed, a stark contrast to its previous quiet days, and it was back to its bustling state. The reason for this popularity...

"Guests at table number three, one espresso and one sandwich."

Hayato Ijuin placed the coffee and sandwiches he had prepared on the front desk.

"coming!"

Honoka picked up the plate and quickly delivered the food to table number three.

Because of her body shape, there are no suitable work clothes available for the time being, so Honoka can only wear her previous school uniform for now, a dark purple suit jacket on the upper body and a red and black pleated skirt on the lower body, showing the youthful exuberance of a young girl.

The pure white over-the-knee stockings were so tight around her thighs that they created a slight indentation that made one's imagination run wild.

But the most deadly thing, of course, is the two soft mounds on her chest that sway up and down with Honoka's steps. With each sway, the eyes of the male customers in the cafe have to follow those soft things up and down.

"Please have your meal, guests at table number three."

Honoka first placed the plates on the table, then placed the coffee and sandwiches in front of the guests one by one. When she placed them, she leaned forward, and because of the angle, the already huge items appeared even bigger, which made the guests at table number three stare in amazement.

Seeing that the guest was in a daze, Honoka could only repeat, "Please have a meal, sir."

The guests at table number three then seemed to snap out of their daze and hurriedly picked up their coffees to put them in their mouths to cover up their embarrassment.

It's so hot!

The customer at table number three, whose lips were swollen and red from the burn, was on the verge of tears, but still smiled and said, "The coffee is delicious."

"Thank you, guest!"

With a sweet voice and a heartwarming smile, the guests at table number three felt a sweetness that went straight to their hearts, even though they were drinking the most bitter espresso.

"Honoka, number nine, one mocha and one serving of yakisoba."

As soon as Hayato Ijuin's voice rang out, Honoka rushed off to get the food, keeping herself extremely busy.

That damned bald guy, he's really awful for exploiting Honoka like that!

Seeing how hard Honoka was working, the male customers in the cafe were all indignant. If it weren't for the fact that Hayato Ijuin was so strong and intimidating, they would have liked to beat him up. But they completely forgot that it was they who made Honoka so busy.

After a busy day, Cat's Eye Cafe finally closed for the day.

Although he barely had any rest all day, Hayato Ijuin didn't feel tired at all; instead, he felt very fulfilled.

However, he also knew very well that the success of the new Cat's Eye Cafe was all thanks to Honoka.

However, Hayato Ijuin also had concerns.

After Honoka goes back to school, what will happen to his business? Should he hire a few more waiters? But hiring other waiters probably won't have the same impact as Honoka!

Shaking his head, putting the worry aside for later, Hayato Ijuin said to Honoka, "Honoka, it's getting late, go back and rest... Oh, right, here's the taxi fare. It's too late, taking the train isn't safe, let's take a taxi."

Honoka shook her head, clenched her fist at Hayato Ijuin, and said, "Don't worry about the manager, I'm very strong too, I'm not afraid of any thugs or perverts!"

Hayato Ijuin actually had some understanding of Honoka's power. Being able to handle so many guests all day without feeling tired was simply monstrous.

Suddenly remembering something, Hayato Ijuin asked Honoka, "By the way, Honoka, why do you always wear a glove on your right hand?"

Although Hayato Ijuin is blind, he has spent some time with Honoka and knows that Honoka always wears a glove on her right hand.

It would be fine if both hands were gloved, but the problem is that Honoka only wears a glove on her right hand, which is a bit strange.

"Because my right hand harbors immense power... Just kidding!"

Honoka said with a smile, and Hayato Ijuin couldn't help but laugh as well.

Ha, still suffering from chuunibyou!

Hayato Ijuin guessed that Honoka might have some kind of defect in her right hand, which was why she wore gloves to cover it up, so he didn't ask any more questions. After all, it was a matter of personal privacy, and it wasn't good to pry too much.

After leaving the Cat's Eye Cafe, Honoka walked alone on the street. Seeing that no one was around, she secretly took off her right glove.

The moonlight was dim tonight, and the road was dark. Honoka's right hand emitted a faint purple glow, which stood out in the dim environment.

"Ugh...this strange thing...my right hand glows when I get excited..."

Honoka sighed and put her gloves back on.

Chapter 710 Father and Son

I had just returned to the office and hadn't even had time to put my luggage away when a customer came to the door.

Ken, what brings you here?

Li Xin looked at Ken, who had suddenly arrived, with a puzzled expression.

There are still several months until the "KOF" tournament. Li Xin remembers that Ken is from America. What is he doing in Tokyo, coming all the way from here?

Ken was still wearing his simple, tattered martial arts uniform, and he was even barefoot. He looked travel-worn. He said to Li Xin, "Xin, I've come to ask you for help."

Li Xin asked, "What kind of help?"

"Actually, my wife is about to give birth."

Ken smiled happily, and Li Xin immediately congratulated him, saying, "Congratulations!"

After congratulating him, Li Xin couldn't help but ask, "It's a good thing your child is about to be born, what can I do to help you?"

Ken explained, “Back then, I made a promise with Long that he would be my child’s godfather and help baptize my child. However, Long is always on the move because of his spiritual practice. He’s either in the deep mountains and forests or other remote places. Apart from visiting my master’s grave every year on the anniversary of his death, it’s very difficult to find him. This time was no exception. I spent a lot of effort looking for him, but I couldn’t find him. I asked Chunli about Long’s whereabouts, and Chunli recommended you to me. I thought I’d ask if you had any way to find Long.”

"I see."

Li Xin suddenly realized and said to Ken, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you with this."

"Thank you so much!"

Ken smiled and said, "By the way, I heard that you eliminated the 'Calamity of the World' in New York and saved many people. On behalf of us Americans, thank you!"

"You're welcome. I was just helping a friend out."

Li Xin didn't take credit for it, and said to Ken, "Ken, wait for two days, and I'll see if there's any way to find Long."

"Ok, no problem."

Ken nodded, then said, "By the way, about the commission fee..."

Li Xin glanced at Ken's tattered taekwondo uniform and thought to himself, "Ken, you still can't bear to change your uniform even though it's so worn out." He couldn't help but ask, "Ken, what happened to the prize money from the last 'KOF' tournament?"

You should know that the Chun-Li team was one of the top four teams in the previous KOF tournament. The whole team could win $900,000 in prize money. If the three of them split it, they would get $300,000. That's no small amount of money. With that kind of prize money, how come Ken's life is still so difficult?

"Oh, you mean those prize money..."

Although Ken was puzzled as to why Li Xin suddenly brought up the matter of bonuses, he still said, "Long doesn't have any source of income, so I gave all those bonuses to Long."

Li Xin couldn't help but feel a deep respect—he was willing to live such a difficult life himself, yet he still left all his bonuses to his teammates; he was truly a good friend.

Faced with such a sincere person, Li Xin couldn't bring himself to talk about money, so he said, "Forget about the commission fee. Consider it a birthday gift for your child. Use it to buy some toys for your child."

Ken was taken aback for a moment, then thought about it and realized that it was indeed inappropriate for an extraordinary expert like Li Xin to talk about such mundane things as money. So he said, "Alright, then I'll thank you on behalf of my child!"

At the same time, she kept Li Xin's kindness in her heart.

Ken made an appointment with Li Xin to visit again the next day, and then left the office.

After Ken left, Li Xin also began to investigate Long's whereabouts.

Li Xin contacted "Noah" by phone: "Noah, help me find Long."

Since Ryu and Ken have been separated for more than half a year, even if Ken has some personal belongings, he cannot find Ryu's location through the "Sympathy Technique". Therefore, Li Xin is prepared to use the power of science directly.

Li Xin sent a location to "Noah" and told him to start looking for Long from that location.

As Ken just mentioned, he and Long separated from this location, meaning that starting the search from here might lead to some clues about Long.

Noah quickly replied: "Okay, right away."

Li Xin put away his phone and went to do other things.

The first thing...

"Oh, going to school?"

"Xin" paused for a moment after hearing Li Xin's words.

"Yes."

Li Xin nodded, then said to "Xin", "I was busy before, and I didn't know how Mr. Fim would arrange for you, so I didn't take care of it. But since you're going to live with me, I have an obligation to take care of you. Of course, I'll arrange for you to go to school."

He couldn't allow any minors around him to be idle when they should be in school, especially since Mr. Fim was so generous, giving him a ten million dollar annual custody fee. He had to cultivate "hearts" into people who were useful to society.

Angel, who was standing to the side, was laughing hysterically. She knew this would happen, she knew this would happen! Great, another person to go to jail with!

Leona felt a chill run down her spine. Luckily, she was already eighteen before joining the "X" agency, otherwise, would Li Xin have forced her to go to school by now? She absolutely couldn't let Li Xin know that she had never been to school.

Leaving aside the guilty-looking Leona, "Xin," after hearing Li Xin's words, said despite her reluctance, "Alright, since it's Lord Xin's arrangement, then 'Xin' will listen to Lord Xin."

"Kokoro" received the education of a maiko from a young age. Although she had more freedom and an independent living environment compared to real maiko, and her food, clothing, and housing were better than those maiko who lived in a dormitory with more than a dozen people, she was still extremely obedient to the man she had chosen.

There's nothing we can do about it; that's just how geisha are.

Seeing that "Xin" had agreed, Li Xin nodded slightly and said to Crocodile, "Crocodile, please help 'Xin' enroll in school. Remember to put her in the same class as Angel and the others."

It just so happens that Angel and the others will all be entering high school soon, so "Xin" can go to school with them and there's no need to worry about her not fitting in.

Li Xin always felt that "Xin" had some psychological problems because of the "geisha education" she received from childhood, and that she should go to school and communicate more with her peers so that her mentality could be reversed.

"Yes, Principal Li."

Crocodile Man saluted Li Xin, and it was even the Young Pioneers salute.

After arranging "Heart", Li Xin also received a message from "Noah".

"I can't find him. I've searched all the security cameras in Japan, but I haven't found any trace of Long, nor any record of him leaving the country. He's probably still deep in the mountains and hasn't come out."

"Noah" replied to Li Xindao.

Damn it, science is useless!

Li Xin was speechless. Could there really be such a person in this world who would stay hidden in the deep mountains and forests for more than half a year without coming out?

Although Li Xin had also secluded himself in the mountains for about a month at a time, unlike Long, who has been doing this for more than half a year...

However, Li Xin couldn't easily give up what he had promised Ken. He said to Crocodile, "Crocodile, I'm going out for a bit to take care of some things."
