Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

"Ken!"

"Long!"

Long and Ken, the two fellow apprentices, hugged each other, looking very much like brothers.

After hugging him, Ken said to Li Xin, "Xin, thank you..."

"Stop talking. I've been hearing you say thank you so many times these past two days. You may not be tired of it, but I am."

Li Xin said with a smile.

Long and Ken both gave shy smiles. Ken said to Li Xin, "Okay, then we won't thank you. If you need anything in the future, just let us know and we'll definitely help!"

Li Xin nodded, accepting this act of kindness: "Okay."

At this moment, Li Xin looked at Ken's bare feet and thought for a moment before asking, "Ken, how are you and Long planning to get back to America?"

Ken replied, "We're going to walk there..."

Li Xin interrupted, "How can this be? Here, take it!"

Li Xin handed Ken a large stack of "Fukuzawa Yukichi" letters and said, "Take a plane back, and buy yourself a pair of shoes while you're at it."

"This……"

"Consider this my gift for your child's one-month celebration. It's good to take care of your brothers, but don't just think about your brothers, think about your wife and children too."

Li Xin said to Ken.

He saw that Ken was having a hard time and couldn't help but want to lend a hand.

Of course, Li Xin didn't help just anyone. He took pity on Ken because he saw that Ken didn't even have a decent set of clothes or shoes, and he had a child to raise.

These days, fighters are generally poor, but it's rare to see someone as poor as Ken. Li Xin should help him as much as he can.

Ken had originally intended to say that he and Long would walk to the airport and then take his private plane to America, but seeing Li Xin's sincere expression, he swallowed the half-sentence he hadn't said before, took the money Li Xin handed over, and said to Li Xin, "Okay, Ah Xin, I'll remember this favor."

Watching Ken's departing figure, Li Xin felt a strong sense of satisfaction.

Helping others truly is the source of happiness!

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

Long and Ken boarded the plane, not Ken's private jet, but a regular commercial airline, and in economy class at that. There was no way they could afford first class with the money Li Xin had given them.

Economy class seats are cramped, especially for burly fighters like Ryu and Ken.

However, the two of them showed no dissatisfaction while sitting in economy class. Ken even seemed quite excited, saying, "Lon, this is my first time flying economy class!"

“Ken, Ashin meant well.”

Long said to Ken.

He knew about Ken's family situation. After all, Ken usually traveled by private jet, or at the very least, in a luxurious first-class cabin with in-flight showers and private suites. If it weren't for Li Xin, Ken probably would never have been able to fly economy class in his life.

“I know, so I’m very grateful to Ashin.”

Ken said with a smile.

The two flew to America, and after Ken settled Long in, he called his secretary.

"Emma, ​​I've already decided on the recipients of that previous support program."

Ken said to his secretary.

After the marriage, Ken's father, the chairman of the Mastas Group, made Ken the vice chairman of the group and gradually handed over the family business to Ken. At Ken's insistence, the Mastas Group formulated a support plan to support poor countries around the world and provide free education, medical care and infrastructure support to the poor people of other countries.

Originally, the first country to be supported was still being selected, but after receiving Li Xin's selfless help during this trip to Japan, Ken had already made the best choice in his mind.

Secretary Emma adjusted her glasses and asked Ken, "Boss, which country have you decided to support?"

"Let's choose the Central Plains."

Ken told Emma that he remembered Li Xin was from the Central Plains.

Emma hesitated for a moment, then said to Ken, "But Boss, that's a red country..."

As the leader of the capitalist camp, America has always been wary and hostile towards these communist countries.

"I don't care about anything political or not, I just want to help some people who deserve it, is that not allowed?"

Ken said to Emma very seriously.

Seeing Ken's insistence, Emma said no more, bowed and said, "I understand, Boss. I will go and draft a plan and contact the Central Plains authorities as well."

She's just a working-class person; ideology is none of her business. As long as the boss pays her salary, she can't care about anything else.

"Very good, thank you for your help."

Ken dismissed his secretary and then changed into a custom-made suit.

The suit fit him perfectly and was very comfortable to wear, but after putting it on, Ken felt like he was wearing shackles. He shook his head wearily and said, "Sigh, a martial arts uniform is still the most comfortable!"

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

"What, Ken? Is it Ken Mastas?"

Lai Sheng was at his new home. Lai Sheng Lei had just returned from the Central Plains after finishing his investment business. At this moment, he was leaning against Li Xin's chest, leisurely listening to Li Xin talk about recent events. When he heard Li Xin say that he had given travel expenses to a fighter named Ken, he couldn't help but sit up from Li Xin's chest.

"Yes, that's right, his name is Ken Mastas. I saw that he was going through a lot of trouble, so I wanted to help him out if I could."

Li Xin nodded.

Lai Sheng Lei looked at Li Xin with eyes that held a mixture of surprise, amusement, and deep affection: "Xin, do you know who that Ken Mastas is?"

“I know him. He’s the last disciple of Goken, the master of the ‘Hadouken’, and Ryu’s senior brother. He’s an outstanding fighter.”

Li Xin replied.

Lai Sheng Lei shook his head slightly and said to Li Xin, "This is just his identity in the fighting world. In America, Ken Mastas has another identity—he is the vice chairman of the Mastas Group, one of the largest conglomerates in the United States, as well as the head of the Mastas family. He is also one of the richest people in America."

"what?"

Li Xin was stunned.

Lai Sheng Lei touched Li Xin's face, then kissed him on the other cheek: "Ah Xin, you're amazing! Ken Mastas is richer than me, and you actually helped him out. That's incredible!"

It's one thing for a super-rich person like Ken to offer him relief, but the fact that he actually accepted it is truly remarkable.

Li Xin: "..."

To what extent must one master martial arts to reverse time? I want to go back to daytime and strangle that version of myself!

Chapter 712 The Correct Use of the Yayu Liao

As Ron and Ken flew to America, a plane from France landed at the airport, and two blonde, blue-eyed sisters, Rachel and Alma, stepped off.

Rachel was no longer dressed in the revealing black tight leather outfit she had worn before, but instead wore brown trousers. However, she still couldn't bear to change her signature black boots and kept wearing them.

He wore a similar brown jacket, but it seemed a bit small; the zipper couldn't be fully closed, revealing a deep trench that could drown a person, making it look rather ostentatious.

When passersby saw Rachel like this, their first reaction was to beg her to whip him.

Compared to her sister Rachel, Alma, dressed in a white dress, looked like a pure angel. The only problem was that this angel seemed a bit too well-endowed.

There's no way around it, after all, they're twin sisters. Alma's body stagnated for several years due to "demonization," but after regaining her human form, with the right nutrition, she developed very quickly.

"Finally arrived in Tokyo..."

Rachel stretched after sitting in the cramped economy class seat for over ten hours, trying to loosen up. But the zipper on her chest couldn't withstand the strain and burst open, revealing her white crop top underneath.

"Seriously, the quality of these clothes is terrible!"

Rachel couldn't help but complain, while Alma, standing nearby, inwardly felt sorry for the dress: Sister, this shouldn't be a problem with the dress...

However, Alma was kind, so she didn't say anything.

"Sister, we've arrived in Tokyo. Shall we go find Mr. O-Shin first?"

Alma asked Rachel.

The sisters came to Tokyo to find Li Xin. After the cruise ship arrived, Li Xin and the others left in Fim's car, and Rachel missed the chance to ask Li Xin for his address. This time in Tokyo, they will have to spend time finding out where Li Xin is.

Rachel thought for a moment and said to Alma, "No, we should find a place to stay, and preferably a job."

Rachel earned some prize money at the "DOA" competition, but it wasn't enough to make her financially independent. They even flew economy class to Tokyo, so once they arrived, their first concern should be their finances. What if they ran out of money before finding Li Xin?

Furthermore, Rachel also wants to settle down in Tokyo from now on. Anyway, America and the others aren't planning to go back. Let whoever wants to go to that awful place go!

However, the two sisters' job search was not smooth. There was no way around it; Rachel was good at slaying demons and beating people, but the problem was that Tokyo was at least on the surface peaceful, so Rachel's professional skills could not be put to use at all!

The underworld does need talent like Rachel, but the problem is that the Japanese local gangs are very xenophobic. Rachel is a foreigner and a woman, so it's no wonder they would want her.

After searching around without finding a suitable job, Rachel was just thinking about whether she should go work as a construction worker when Alma suddenly held up a flyer and said, "Sister, what do you think of this?"

Rachel took the flyer, glanced at it quickly, and then handed it back to Alma: "Don't know her."

As a Viger, Rachel only speaks Viger and English. In order to find a way to rescue Alma, she also taught herself some Chinese while reading documents, but she doesn't know any Japanese. She mainly communicated with people through Alma just now.

Yes, during the "demonization," Alma's soul was in a daze, but she received a lot of information, including multiple languages, including Chinese, English, French, and Japanese. Alma estimated that this was the collective consciousness of the "demon gods" of the Viger Empire. As a superior among the "demon gods," she could naturally absorb the information in this consciousness.

That's why Alma learned how to control her abilities without any instruction.

Remembering that her sister didn't speak Japanese, Alma told Rachel what was on the flyer: "Our shop is hiring two waitresses. Requirements: quick and efficient, hardworking, and fair-skinned and beautiful."

"Waiter? I don't want to do that!"

Rachel shook her head.

She worked as a waitress at a hamburger joint when she was in America, and now she's in Tokyo and still working as a waitress. Does that mean she's wasting her time? And what's with the "fair-skinned and pretty girls get priority" thing? Is the manager some kind of pervert?

"Monthly salary of 600,000 yen, room and board provided."

Alma continued.

"Let's do it!"

Rachel immediately changed her mind.

No wonder people say the Japanese are rich; are all the waiters paid this much? And they even provide food and lodging, saving us the trouble of finding a place to stay!

"where is it?"

Rachel asked Alma.

"Sakuradamon, Cat's Eye Cafe".

Alma replied.

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

"I'm sorry, miss, you do not meet our hiring requirements. Please leave."

In the meeting room of Cat's Eye Cafe, Hayato Ijuin sat at the table, his hands clasped together, supporting his chin, and spoke in a deep voice to the young woman who had come for an interview.

The young woman uttered a regretful sound, but still bowed forty-five degrees to Hayato Ijuin before picking up her shoulder bag and leaving.

Without a moment's regret for the young woman who had just left, Ijuin Hayato immediately said, "Next!"

Soon, another beautiful young woman entered the meeting room, ready to face Hayato Ijuin's interview.

Hayato Ijuin casually chatted with the young woman, but his real attention was focused on a wardrobe behind him.

After waiting for a long time without receiving a signal, Ijuin Hayato repeated what he had said to the previous interviewee to the interviewee in front of him: "I'm sorry, young lady, you do not meet our recruitment requirements. Please leave."

After that, Hayato Ijuin interviewed many candidates, but he couldn't find one who satisfied him.

Finally, all the interviewees left, and Hayato Ijuin had a moment to himself. He walked up to the wardrobe, pulled it open, and said to the person inside, "Hey, tell me, are you deliberately trying to mess with me?"

Inside the wardrobe, Yao Yu Liao picked his nose and said, "The person who came is no good. What can I do if it doesn't react? You should find someone who can make it react!"

As she spoke, she swayed her waist, shaking the bells hanging in front of her hips, which made a crisp sound.

Hayato Ijuin remained silent.

After realizing that Honoka is a student and will eventually have to go to school, making it impossible for her to work full-time, Hayato Ijuin begins to consider hiring more waiters.

Hayato Ijuin had previously tried to hire waiters, but he had scared them all away. However, the booming business of Cat's Eye Cafe today made Hayato Ijuin realize a truth – the reason why Cat's Eye Cafe was not doing well before was not because his coffee was not good, but because his staff was not good. Similarly, the reason why he could not hire waiters was not because they looked scary, but because their salaries were not high enough.

So he raised the salary offer, offering twice the market rate, and sure enough, a lot of interviewees came in.

Finding a waiter as popular as Honoka is no easy task, and since Hayato Ijuin is blind and cannot recognize the waiters' faces, he has no choice but to ask his frenemy Ryo Saeba to help him choose a waiter.

He believed that with the abilities of this "Shinjuku stallion," he would definitely be able to help him find a suitable candidate from among the many interviewees.

But since they're such bad friends, Hayato Ijuin naturally has to be wary of Ryo Saeba tricking him by choosing an ugly waiter for him, ruining his hard-earned fame.
