Martial artists can never be ultimately insulted.

"This girl's name is Iori Kazuka. She used to be a cop in the Violence Countermeasures Division, but don't think of her as a good person. As far as I know, she has made a lot of money by selling confiscated items in private. As a result, she has been demoted here to deal with delinquents for some reason."

To be honest, this woman herself is a complete scoundrel. The fact that someone like her can become a police officer shows that this country is truly hopeless.

"Huh? Han Zhuli, you heartless bastard! If I hadn't tipped you off, you would have been deported long ago!" Upon hearing this, the policewoman named Iori Kazuka exhaled a breath of stale air, her face full of disgust as she said:

"And didn't you promise me you'd tone it down? How come I just got a call from the police saying there was a fight here? I knew it was you the moment I heard the style of the fight! What kind of trouble are you causing me now!"

"Damn it, it must be one of those passersby who forced the police to call the police again..."

Han Zhuli almost immediately realized that the so-called police report must have been the incident when she suddenly attacked Yuan Chen, thinking he had drugged her food, and someone nearby happened to see or hear it and then called the police.

Looking at the two who seemed to be arguing and unhappy, but actually clearly understood each other very well, Yuan Chen's face showed a playful expression.

Iori Kazuka appears in the women's manga "One Victory for a Thousand Gold" in the same world as Kengan. The content focuses on women's fighting and can be considered a gender-swapped version of Kengan. She is the best friend of the protagonist, Tenma Nozomi.

The premise is that he did too many illegal and excessive things in order to gain credit and performance. In one conflict, he even fought with his then-superior, whom he didn't get along with, and almost killed him. As a result, he was transferred to the juvenile department to deal with juvenile delinquency and other related matters.

Unexpectedly, it seems that Iori Ichika in this world was also placed in the old town for this reason, and thus became acquainted with Han Zhuli.

If that's the case... then according to the Street Fighter storyline, in another year or two, Han Zhuli should become a member of the SIN department and disappear from the surface world, and then the two of them may forget each other in the world of martial arts.

It's not that Iori Kazuka is forgetful; it's just that even knowing Han Zhuli will become a powerful figure in the future, ignoring firearms and stepping on rockets as easily as eating and drinking, is still a challenge.

In Yuan Chen's current view, Han Zhuli's will is not pure enough, whether as a martial artist, a thug, a biker, or a vengeful person...

In this situation, most people simply fade into obscurity, return to their hometowns, marry an honest man, and only occasionally reminisce about their romantic past when they meet some old acquaintances.

While Yuan Chen was still thinking, Iori Ichika, who had roughly learned what had happened through a conversation with Han Zhuli, gradually relaxed.

The reason why she relaxed so easily was mainly because Iori Kazuka knew that Han Zhuli was not a purely evil person, but was wandering around the old city in order to find the murderers of her parents and take revenge on them.

Thinking it over, Iori Kazuka smacked her lips and said, "We've already fought and talked, so I won't stop you from seeking revenge. But at least don't involve innocent bystanders, or I'll be in trouble too..."

Saying this, Iori Kazuka sighed, then said with a look of annoyance:

"Ugh, I wonder when I'll be able to get transferred from this damn job. There are delinquents everywhere. Just seeing them makes my hands itch. This country really has no future."

"No, compared to these delinquent teenagers, the fact that a lousy cop like you could become a police officer is what truly represents the lack of a future for this country," Han Zhuli said with a disdainful sneer.

“Dereliction of duty and misconduct are irrelevant.” Iori Kazuka clearly didn’t care about this:

"An incompetent boss is the most infuriating thing... Damn it, my goal was the Violent Weapon Mobile Squad, and now I've been demoted to managing delinquents here..."

As she spoke, Iori Kazuka glanced around the store before turning her curious gaze toward Yuan Chen.

"Speaking of which, you look unfamiliar, young man. Why are you opening a shop in the old town?"

"Ah, I'm here to go to school and find something to do on the side." Yuan Chen nodded simply and then took out his student ID.

After a quick check, Iori Ichika returned the student ID to Yuan Chen.

"I know how strong Han Zhuli is. Even I can't gain an advantage without using my full strength. Yet you were able to easily take down this woman. You seem to be quite strong too. No wonder you're opening a shop in the old town."

With a grin, Iori Kazuka asked, "Do you have any alcohol? Give me a bottle."

Beer or shochu?

"Beer will do." Iori Kazuka leaned back in her chair with a relaxed expression, took out her phone and scrolled through it as she spoke:

"This godforsaken old town is deserted after 7 p.m., and by 10 p.m., your shop is the only one still open. You absolutely have to hold on! Call me if there's any trouble and I'll be there right away. Otherwise, I'll be eating convenience store sandwiches for my late-night snacks again..."

As she said this, Iori Kazuka seemed to have noticed something. She paused slightly, then narrowed her eyes and stopped talking.

Han Zhuli, standing to the side, clearly didn't care, and simply said with an indifferent expression:

"Then you can rest assured. This guy is a big spender. He opened the shop just to kill time. And his cooking skills are superb. I can't even remember the last time I've had such authentic Korean food... No, even when I was in Korea, I never had such delicious spicy stewed beef and seafood."

Iori Kazuka remained silent in response.

Even so, Han Zhuli quickly sensed the awkward atmosphere and raised an eyebrow at Iori Ichika, saying, "Hey, cop, what's up? Have you fallen so low as to collect protection money now?"

"...I'm a police officer, after all!" Upon hearing this, Iori Kazuka curled her lip in disdain, then said nonchalantly, "Speaking of which, Yuan Chen knows about what happened between you and Ying Luo, right?"

"I don't know." When Ying Luo was mentioned, Han Zhuli, who had been feeling relaxed after having a few drinks, paused for a moment, and then her whole demeanor visibly lowered as she said, "What do you mean by asking this?"

“I asked you if you had told him,” Iori Kazuka reiterated.

This also caught Yuan Chen's attention.

To be precise, Yuan Chen heard something different through Iori Kazuka's voice.

Han Zhuli, who was standing next to her, also recognized the same scent.

But because of the meal she had just eaten, Han Zhuli didn't think Yuan Chen was doing anything wrong, so she said:

"I did mention Shadow Luo when I confronted him... but that was all. This guy is the same age as me, comes here to study, and probably doesn't even know what Shadow Luo is. So what's wrong? Why are you reacting so strongly?"

When Han Zhuli thought Yuan Chen had drugged her and launched an attack, she mistook Yuan Chen for a member of Yingluo and said things like, "Either you kill me, or I kill you, I won't let either of us go."

Upon hearing Han Zhuli's reply, Iori Kazuka, after a brief silence, took out another cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and lit it without paying any attention to the 'No Smoking' warning next to him.

Then, to Han Zhuli and Yuan Chen's puzzled looks, Iori Ichika slammed her phone onto the table.

It was called a cell phone, but it was actually more like an encrypted communication device used within a police station. And on the screen, clearly displayed, was information about Yuan Chen—

All relevant information was blank, except for a special note in the document's description—

[Any inquiry into information or data related to special international organizations must be reviewed and approved by a specialist from the Violent Weapons Mobile Unit.]

"Your student ID says you're from Hong Kong," Iori Kazuka said. "If I remember correctly, they're currently conducting a major crackdown there because of the Shadow Organization, and entry and exit are restricted..."

Before Iori Kazuka could finish speaking, Han Zhuli's anger, hatred, or rather... tyrannical 'will' began to surge at an alarming rate.

Volume 1: Next long chapter, will be updated later.

As the title suggests, the next chapter is a battle chapter. To ensure continuity and smooth gameplay, the update will be delayed.

Volume 1: Chapter 89 - Two of me too, let's do Omega! (Long chapter, 7k views)

Iori Kazuka was not surprised at all by noticing the change in Han Zhuli's condition.

Compared to Yuan Chen's identity being specially encrypted, Han Zhuli's secret is not exactly a secret to Iori Ichika at least—although she is also a victim of Yingluo and should theoretically need protection.

However, Han Zhuli was attacked by Yingluo much earlier than Yuan Chen.

As a prosecutor in South Korea, Han Joo-ri's parents' attack attracted considerable attention throughout East Asia. At that time, Iori Kazuka was a full-time member of the Violence Countermeasures Division, so it was not difficult for him to find out about Han Joo-ri's situation.

With a street-smart, or rather, thug-like air about him, Iori Kazuka, who values ​​loyalty, strongly supports Han Joo-ri's revenge.

Yuan Chen, however, was somewhat surprised.

Compared to Qi (vital energy), Yi (intention/intention) is not so easy to cultivate.

A considerable number of people who have achieved great success in Qi (vital energy) are unable to improve their own Yi (intention) and realize their true nature, thus making little progress even when they can see the road ahead.

The most obvious example of Yuan Chen's character is his uncle, Tong Ang.

It's not that Tong Ang is unreliable, but rather that intention is different from qi. Qi can be accumulated over time, while intention... generally speaking, is easier to temper when one is young and full of vigor.

If you miss this window of opportunity, your motivation will be gone, and it will be much more difficult to make further progress based on your existing foundation.

And now...

Do you think I'm one of Yingluo's people?

Yuan Chen glanced at the food, which was almost finished, and nodded thoughtfully.

Although it may sound strange, people are more likely to refine their true inner will when they are experiencing intense emotional fluctuations.

And what about Han Zhuli now?

He had just finished a battle with no results, and the injury to his eye had worsened, possibly to the point where it would have to be removed.

My already bad mood worsened when a light rain started to fall on my way back, making the gloom in my heart even more intense.

It was at this time, on my way home through the night, that I suddenly came across a newly opened shop. I initially thought it might be a trap, but it turned out not to be. I not only tasted the long-lost flavors of my hometown, but also noticed that my eyesight had improved... and the shop owner was not only handsome but also easy to talk to.

Just when things seemed to be getting a little better, I suddenly realized it really was a trap. All the beauty seemed to have been nothing but a deception...

From the trough to the peak, I thought the future would be better, but in the next instant I fell into the lowest of the lows.

In her despair, Han Zhuli's will began to surge, and the most fundamental cruelty, violence, and hatred in her heart began to overflow.

Although this intense intent is often fleeting, it is like the fluctuation of killing intent, or like the "once proven, always proven" often mentioned in fantasy novels. Once awakened or perceived, it will leave a mark in the body, like a road sign guiding the awakened one's path.

While Yuan Chen was still thinking, Iori Ichika, standing to the side, straightened her clothes and continued to question him with a cold face:

"Since you're also from Hong Kong, you should be familiar with the massive crackdown there right now, right? Since the information shows that you're related to Yingluo, yet you didn't react at all when you heard about Yingluo, not even with the curiosity or questions that a normal person would ask... You don't seem like a simple student!"

Hearing Iori Ichika's words and feeling Han Zhuli's burgeoning killing intent beside him, her eyes filled with almost desperate hatred, Yuan Chen, after a brief silence, scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly, then said with a bored expression:

“Normally, a cop of your rank is not qualified to investigate my information.”

"Damn it..." Upon hearing Yuan Chen's words, Iori Ichika was so angry that she laughed.

She was already annoyed by being transferred to the juvenile division and having to treat these delinquents 'gently,' and now this obviously important suspect in the Shadow Law case was mocking her identity right in front of her...

"why?"

Just as Iori Kazuka was laughing in anger, on the other side, Han Zhuli raised her head, her still intact eyes filled with undisguised obsession and extremism.

"You... just now, why... did you hold back?"

Upon hearing Han Zhuli's question, Yuan Chen knew that this was the last shackle that prevented Han Zhuli from immediately erupting... or rather, the source of her confusion.

After all, if he really harbored ill intentions towards Han Zhuli, there was absolutely no need to provide her with such a hearty meal, treat her eyes, or even keep her company while she talked and drank.

If we explain now, the misunderstanding can still be cleared up, right?

But... why untie it?

Sensing Han Zhuli's growing awareness and determination that a gentle push would bring about a transformation, Yuan Chen fell into a brief silence.

Under the light, Yuan Chen's face was inexplicably covered by a shadow.

"Why? What could be the reason? Perhaps... it's because you're too weak?"

Han Zhuli didn't speak, but just stared blankly at Yuan Chen.

Yuan Chen did not stop, but after a brief silence, he calmly said:

"Just like food... even from a roadside stall, I hope to eat a delicious meal that makes me feel satisfied and happy. This deliciousness has nothing to do with strength, it's just about satisfying my cravings before I can fill my stomach."

As he spoke, Yuan Chen looked at Han Zhuli with embarrassment and said:

"And what about you just now... how should I put it? I was really looking forward to it, but both your aura and your intentions were so clumsy it was pathetic. I had absolutely no desire to fight back, and I saw no possibility of growth. So, I'll just feed you first and see if you can grow a bit after you recover..."

Upon hearing this, Han Zhuli remained silent, simply staring blankly at Yuan Chen as before.

Meanwhile, Iori Ichika, who had overheard Yuan Chen and Han Zhuli's conversation, took a deep breath, stood up, and pointed outside with a sinister grin, saying:

“This shop looks like it was just renovated. You’re just a suspect. I’m reasonable. Let’s go outside and deal with this.”

"Okay."

Yuan Chen nodded, but before he could finish saying "Okay," Iori Ichika kicked the table over, sending everything on it, soup and bowls, hurtling towards him.

Taking advantage of the moment when Yuan Chen's vision was obscured, Iori Kazuka pulled out a baton from her pocket, snapped it open, and charged towards Yuan Chen.

"There's no need for chivalry with these serious criminals! Han Zhuli, let's go!!"

As Iori Kazuka spoke, Han Zhuli's delicate face instantly filled with undisguised extreme anger.

"I'll kill you!!"

Even with the spilled soup bowl obscuring his view, Yuan Chen could still clearly sense the intense killing intent emanating from both of them at that moment.

But this did not cause Yuan Chen the slightest fear or hesitation. In fact, feeling Han Zhuli's hatred, which ranked among the top in Yuan Chen's experience of 'will', Yuan Chen felt his blood boil.

Yuan Chen didn't even join the fight immediately; instead, he suddenly raised his arm and smashed the volume button on the restaurant's stereo system.

"Turn the music up!"

The moment the speakers blasted, the drumbeats crashed into the small shop like a torrential downpour, and the subwoofer delivered by Sakura Ibuki made the overturned glasses on the bar vibrate loudly.

Yuan Chen turned to the side, looking at the tables and soup bowls flying towards him with a joyful expression—even through these things, he could still feel Han Zhuli's current gaze.

The look in one's eyes after being deceived, manipulated, and kicked from the peak of hope back into the abyss—anger, hatred, murderous intent, and a hysterical obsession and madness.

Meanwhile, Iori Kazuka, gripping a baton, charged toward him with an excited expression.

Unlike Han Zhuli's madness, Iori Kazuka was simply greedy. It was as if he had found prey, and once he finished the hunt, he might be able to leave this damned juvenile department. Even now, this delinquent cop is still thinking about how to profit from it.
