Chapter 30: The Tough-Attitude Mercenaries

"I see, I am very sorry for causing you trouble."

"What are you talking about? The Master was killing with great enthusiasm, and he doesn't seem to like that Geese from South Town either."

"This trouble ultimately stems from me. After things are over, I will go back and explain it to you..."

Bu Zhi Bu Jue spoke with Shiranui Mai over the phone and learned that the dojo had also been attacked last night, though fortunately, there was no danger.

A *whoosh-whoosh-whoosh* sound came from outside, sounding like the fan blades of some kind of vehicle.

Kagura Chizuru, looking terrible, stepped forward; she seemed unable to recover from the memory of that stench: "That mercenary leader seems to have arrived. Is this plan of yours feasible?"

Bu Zhi Bu Jue glanced at the unconscious Dobi and answered confidently: "Trust me, that batch of Solid Magic Stone will definitely be ours."

Kagura Chizuru nodded and notified the private bodyguards of the Kagura Financial Group to let them through.

A moment later.

Three people appeared in sight; they were the members of the "Ikari Team" from future KOF tournaments.

The mercenary leader Heidern, Ralf, who looked remarkably like a certain character from Metal Slug, and Clark, who wore a black hat and black sunglasses.

As soon as the three entered, they exuded a faint, lingering killing intent.

Only soldiers who have spent years experiencing life-and-death battles on the battlefield possess such a terrifying aura.

Upon entering, Heidern showed no friendly intentions; instead, he sized up Bu Zhi Bu Jue with a vigilant gaze, and as it happened, Bu Zhi Bu Jue was also sizing him up.

Neither of them made any attempt to hide their gazes; they were both that naked.

Heidern was a "one-eyed dragon," and the right eye he lost had been taken by Rugal a long time ago.

Speaking of which, it was a tragic, twisted fate; although Heidern was a mercenary leader, he loved his family, wife, and daughter very much.

Unfortunately, everything was destroyed in an instant.

About 8 years ago, Heidern was ordered to lead a team personally to capture Rugal.

As a result, all 50 of Heidern's subordinates were killed in a counterattack, and even his wife and daughter were killed by Rugal's own hands.

Driven by hatred, Heidern went to challenge Rugal!

In the end, Heidern was defeated by Rugal and lost an eye.

The reason Rugal did not kill Heidern was that he was surprised that Heidern could actually take one of his moves and not die!?

He believed Heidern still had the value of a fight, so he did not take Heidern's life...

That's right, Rugal simply treated Heidern like a toy.

"We want this person." Heidern finally spoke his first sentence.

"Of course that's no problem, but don't you seem to have forgotten to say thank you?" Since entering, Heidern hadn't shown a single good expression to Bu Zhi Bu Jue.

Someone who didn't know better would think Bu Zhi Bu Jue had cuckolded this "King of the Battlefield"!

If Bu Zhi Bu Jue hadn't helped, Dobi would have been captured by Geese long ago; wouldn't it be reasonable for Heidern to say a verbal thank you?

Not saying thank you, and even putting on a cold face—that's just too much!

"Hey, don't you push your luck, kid. What is Leader Heidern's status, and what is the status of a greenhorn like you?" Clark, unable to stand it, stepped forward to scold him.

"This is the territory of my Kagura Financial Group, please show some respect!" Kagura Chizuru frowned and stepped forward to take a stand decisively.

The atmosphere at the scene became very tense, and a kind of invisible smell of gunpowder was spreading.

The person involved, Heidern, stepped forward, looked at Bu Zhi Bu Jue with cold eyes, and said: "You are outstanding, indeed a very outstanding fighter. I personally do not reject fighters, but I very much dislike ambitious fighters."

In Heidern's eyes, these talented and free-roaming fighters did things as they pleased, without systematic "military training," and would sooner or later cause a catastrophe.

Just like Rugal.

Possessing power but driven by inner desire and wildness, committing one incomparably cruel evil act after another.

On Bu Zhi Bu Jue, Heidern also smelled a thick and familiar scent; this scent was very similar to Rugal's.

Therefore, Heidern concluded that Bu Zhi Bu Jue was an incomparably greedy fighter.

Who knows... he might just be the next "Rugal."

"Are you saying you find me an eyesore?" Bu Zhi Bu Jue asked coldly.

"I do find you an eyesore. If I weren't on a mission, I would teach you a lesson right here." Heidern's attitude was tough... not yielding in the slightest!

"Forget the mission, why not right now?" Bu Zhi Bu Jue activated his Byakugan and assumed the starting stance of the Gentle Fist.

Before Heidern could respond, Clark blocked the front and said angrily: "Kid, I found you an eyesore just now. Who do you think you are?"

Strength is always the best business card.

Using the Body Flicker Technique, Bu Zhi Bu Jue flashed in front of Clark and unleashed the Gentle Fist—Tenketsu Strike!

*Bang bang bang bang... *

In just one second, Clark was struck 7 times by Bu Zhi Bu Jue all over his body and was simultaneously sent flying.

"What, such fast speed." Heidern looked shocked, while Ralf ran over to help up his good buddy Clark.

"Ughhh... my body won't move." Clark's body trembled slightly; he found it very difficult even to lift his arm.

Although the power of Bu Zhi Bu Jue's seven strikes was not great, they sealed the acupoints on Clark's body, making it difficult for him to move.

"Damn it, what exactly did you do, you bastard?" Ralf rushed over, throwing his fists rapidly at Bu Zhi Bu Jue; each punch that landed caused a "bomb-like" effect to erupt.

This was Ralf's ultimate technique, the Galactica Phantom!

"Eight Trigrams Palms: Rotation." Bu Zhi Bu Jue directly used the most representative defensive move of the Gentle Fist.

Ralf's Galactica Phantom had no effect; instead, he was repelled and fell to the ground.

Heidern's face turned grave; he had thought Bu Zhi Bu Jue was strong, but in reality, he was stronger than he had imagined!

"Alright, this farce should end. We still have a mission to carry out." Heidern's implication was to end the meaningless fight.

"But... I can't move." Clark couldn't stand up at all; his limb acupoints were blocked and sealed by chakra.

Heidern checked him, but he couldn't see the trick to it, though it definitely had something to do with those seven strikes just now...

"I must trouble you to resolve the problem with Clark." Heidern said to Bu Zhi Bu Jue.

Bu Zhi Bu Jue shoved his hands into his pockets and turned his head away: "My memory isn't very good; did you forget something?"

Heidern's shoulders trembled, then he closed his eyes and stated: "Please, I ask for your help to return Clark to normal."

Bu Zhi Bu Jue still did not take his hands out, and he continued to demand: "And what else?"

This is simply going too far!

Heidern clenched his fists, but the mission still had to continue; executing orders and missions is a soldier's duty.

"Thank you for helping us defend Bagen Island, this man, I am truly very grateful to you!!"

Bu Zhi Bu Jue revealed a smile; wouldn't it have been fine if he had just known how to act properly from the start?

He stepped forward and patted Clark several times in the same spot, then dispersed the chakra that was blocking the acupoints.

Clark moved his body again; he could move once more.
