I am the king of fighting!

Chapter 192 Different timelines brought by different works
On the rooftop.

“It’s the exact same cross.”

Lin Xi held the new cross he had just received in his hand. When comparing it with the one hanging around his neck, there was not much difference. The only difference was the pattern on the bottom. The pattern on the bottom of the cross Vanessa gave him was the Roman numerals 1 and 7, while the pattern on the bottom of the cross Seth gave him was 8 and 5. Both the material and the production process were made from the same mold. The different numbers should be some kind of order within the Ling organization.

He looked at the International Fighting Fans Association branch dozens of meters away, thinking about the Howard Consortium.

Chen Qinshan once said in a letter that the person behind this strange organization was Gus Howard. Considering the relationship between the two of them, which was once as close as brothers, even if their relationship has become distant now, the news should not be wrong.

There are signs of the collapse of Shadow Raid in Street Fighter 2. Whether it is the large number of agents lurking inside, or Vega's thoughts hidden behind the scenes, it is destined that Shadow Raid will collapse extremely quickly. Moreover, Vega doesn't care about the so-called organization at all. As long as he still exists, he can use hypnosis and cloning to set up a new organization at any time.

Howard United is different.

The organization that Gus has run for decades has almost completely controlled the southern United States, especially Florida where South Town is located. His words are probably more effective than those of the president. How could an organization founded by such a big boss collapse so quickly?

In the arcade era, the games Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting had already set out the history and special status of South Town very clearly. In his previous life, he was a fighting game enthusiast and knew South Town like the back of his hand.

As early as the North American Colonial War, Southtown was still a seaside fishing village. British Puritans gathered here and built a paradise based on faith in the turbulent United States at that time. The composition of Southtown at that time was quite simple. Apart from the Puritans, there were black slaves.

However, due to its excellent geographical location, Southtown soon grew stronger in trade. By the end of the 19th century, Southtown had become the most prosperous city on the southern coast of the United States. But the disputes never stopped, and soon the Italian mafia and Chinese immigrants moved in one after another.

After several rounds of fierce struggles, under the background of special anti-Chinese laws, the balance of power quickly tilted towards the Italian Mafia. In fact, the Chinatown Presbyterian Church was much stronger, but the influence of the times was too great, and it was difficult for the Chinese to become managers of the city.

However, the Chinatown Elders Council at that time was basically composed of frustrated people who left China during the war and did not have much desire for power. Soon the Italian Mafia dominated the entire South Town.

Time goes back to when Gis was young. Mr. Big, the leader of an evil organization related to the Italian Mafia, recruited Gis to join in order to get rid of the newly emerging Baji Shengquan Sect in Chinatown. In fact, the reputation of Baji Shengquan Sect depends entirely on the street hero Jeff Bogard. The leader Tang Fulu, Gis and Chen Qinshan have no interest in upholding justice.

As a result, Mr. Big let the wolf into the house and was exposed to the evil side. Because of his fear of his half-brother Wolfgang Krauser, Giss quickly turned evil and defeated Mr. Big with the help of the Extreme Flow, established the Howard Combine, and dominated South Town.

But that was more than ten years ago. During these ten years, the Howard Corporation has continued to grow and has begun to dominate the United States and control other parts of the world. After Geese faked his death in the first part of Fatal Fury, South Town fell into chaos. Geese, who returned to rule South Town, had already lost the Howard Corporation that he had run for more than ten years.

It can be seen that the collapse of the organization could not have been caused intentionally by Gis. He did not have Vega's brainwashing ability, and even if he was confident of making a comeback, he would not do this.

In short, Lin Xi didn't understand from the known information why Howard United collapsed as quickly as Ying Luo. It would be completely illogical if there was no external force.

The Ling Organization's intervention gave him a vague clue, but it was still far from enough to support his conclusion. The fundamental reason was -

Geese in The King of Fighters and Geese in Fatal Fury have completely different endings!

Yes, the Geese in Fatal Fury faked his death and then died, but the Geese in The King of Fighters never faked his death or died. He was always entangled with the Bogard brothers, and even teamed up with his brother Krauser and Mr. Big to participate in the King of Fighters competition. In the following series of competitions, he kept sending Billy to the stage. So, in this world, which timeline will it be?
"Dingling bell~"

Lin Xi was thinking when his cell phone rang. He answered the call and after listening for a while, his expression gradually became serious.

"Okay, I'll be there right away."
-
Half an hour ago, in the walled city, in a narrow, smelly alley.

"Don't run!" Hong Hu jumped over the cart swiftly, and after a few kicks on the wall, he stepped on the bamboo ladder under the eaves to the window sill across the street. He landed gracefully, blocking the two women, and wiped his nose with a smug smile: "You still want to escape from my hands?"

"Ah hey hey!" A row of workers on bicycles were knocked down by the ladders blocking the street.

"Damn it! Who the hell took my ladder?"

Workers and bicycles fell to the ground and collided with nearby vendors, making the already narrow street suddenly chaotic.

The corners of Honghu's mouth twitched downwards, revealing an expression of having gotten into trouble. He rolled his eyes and said, "Why don't you two ladies just come back with me obediently? Why do you have to make such a fuss?"

"Go back? Where? Your home?" A woman with bright pink long hair, wearing hot pants and a tight white vest, with her chest bulging high, threw him a seductive glance.

"Okay, okay." Red Tiger said with a fancy mouth, his eyes attracted to the other person's three points like a magnet.

"Let's go to your house?" The hot girl with long orange hair standing next to her was more direct. She licked her lips and said, "Why not just stay here..."

"We two will accompany you to have a good time!" X2
"Here?!" Honghu felt the sound of steam erupting in his head, and the blood color on his face quickly faded because it was charging to other places.

The two hot girls were getting closer and closer, and he couldn't keep up with them anymore.

"Of course!" The pink-haired woman chuckled and kicked his crotch hard with her sharp high heels.

"Wow~" Honghu clamped his legs together and narrowly clamped the other jailer. Sweat already began to appear on his forehead. He was almost there, just a little bit, and he would be ashamed of his fiancée.

Before he could react, another orange-haired woman raised her leg and swept over. The bulging muscular thighs brought a huge impact, and her high heels tore through the air, making a creepy sound that went straight into his temple.

An interesting thing is that Seth in King of Fighters is actually a code name, not his real name. In the original design of King of Fighters, the code name of this black Seth was designed as 'Dick'
