I am the king of fighting!

Chapter 258 The story begins

Holding an umbrella, I strolled on the streets of Nanzhen where the rain was drizzling.

There were sounds of groans, curses, roars, car horns, and occasionally the darkness was filled with lustful gasps.

Lin Xi once again deeply felt the hopelessness and romance in this city's bones.

Justice and evil are intertwined, and light and darkness coexist.

There are endless street heroes in South Town like Jeff and Terry, but they still cannot hide the decadent desires that come with them.

Looking at the woman who was constantly being pulled by the tattooed thugs at the entrance of the alley, Lin Xi walked past indifferently, turning a blind eye. In return, the two thugs just let go of her hands. The woman spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground, and after a short rest, she began to deceive the next tourist from outside the area who came to watch the King of Boxing Tournament.

[If it were me, I would probably kill all the vested interests and change the status quo of the lower-class residents. Maybe there would be a chance to transform South Town into a normal city.]

Lin Xi has been wandering around South Town for most of the day. Compared to his superficial understanding in the game, after personal experience, he can fully understand why this land has bred so much evil.

It's not some metaphysical thing like Gotham, nor is it some conspiracy. It's actually very simple. It's purely due to unbalanced economic development, too many historical problems, complicated gang forces, and the government's prestige has disappeared over the past few decades.

Without any powerful organization to rely on, we can only rely on our own military force.

Therefore, whether it was Keith Howard or Billy Kane, they all quickly became thorough Southtowners after entering Southtown life.

Here... it's so free.

Liberty, how many crimes have been committed in your name.

Passing through the narrow path, the bustling square comes into view. Tourists come in groups and the road is busy. Mobile vendors driving fast food trucks stop under the statue in the center of the square, which shows a man wearing a suit, a hat and holding a cane. Opposite the statue to the north sits an old church. Through the door, you can see the gorgeous carvings and decorations inside.

This is the Pioneer Square located in the northwest of the nature park. It was named in memory of the pioneers who came to South Town and is the earliest human gathering place in South Town.

Lin Xi stopped. In the overcast sky, a beam of light fell through a gap and shone on the old church outside. The blurry eyes of the sculpture seemed to be staring at something.

He subconsciously reached for his chest, but failed to grab the camera, and shook his head with some regret.

The entire Nanzhen can be roughly divided into four parts:

The first area is the Bay Area, where the airport, port, emerging industrial area, wealthy residential area and the Extreme Flow Dojo are all located. Before Keith Howard moved from a gangster to a politician and gradually became bigger and stronger, the Bay Area was almost independent of the entire dark South Town and was relatively the safest place.

Whether it is the police who can be seen everywhere to protect the rich, or the extreme fighters who are often seen on the streets, the public security here is maintained at a very high level. However, land is expensive, and the rich use money as a barrier to keep the poor out.

The Garcia estate acquired by Guise is located here.

The second area is called Central City. As the name suggests, it is the real center of South Town. Chinatown, the largest leading force in the entire South Town, is located in the central area of ​​Central City. South Town Central Park, which is famous throughout Florida, is next to Chinatown. Other types of buildings are scattered around, including bars of all sizes, high-end restaurants, Chinese and Japanese restaurants, martial arts halls, medical clinics, zoos, aquariums, train stations, etc. Basically all the architectural groups that a city can have are available.

The residential areas are scattered around in an orderly manner and the public security is relatively good, especially in the area controlled by Chinatown. Neither the Howard Combine nor other large and small gangs dare to cause trouble nearby. To the north of the city is a vast natural park. The natural scenery inside is well preserved and the climate is very similar to that of a tropical rainforest. Many fighting schools have special training grounds there.

There are many farms and ranches near the nature park, which are the main suppliers of grain, vegetables, fruits and melons for the entire Nanzhen. It is located in a remote area, and the farmers and ranchers live and work in peace and contentment, so it can be regarded as a paradise.

After all, no matter how vicious the gangs are, they have no interest in old farmers who can only afford a few dollars.

Geographically, Pioneer Square is located in a relatively remote part of the central city.

The third area is called Port Town, which is a small town in the southwest of the city of Nanzhen. It used to be a very prosperous trading port. The town built around the port is well connected and has an excellent geographical location. However, because of its good geographical location, it was selected by the US military to become an aircraft carrier home port. The economy of the entire port town plummeted due to the blockade of the US military.

The convenient maritime transportation that they once prided themselves on was also blocked, and the land transportation was too remote. After its gradual decline, it became a hotbed of crime. Gangs, criminal organizations, and soldiers who had finally gotten off the ship to rest were all wantonly wreaking havoc on the port town.

To this day, Port Town has a red-light district and slums that are extremely famous in the entire South Town and even in the United States. It is also the source of chaos in the entire South Town.

Finally, there is the fourth area, which is also the most prosperous area in the entire South Town.

East Island.

East Island is an artificial island. If we trace its origin, we have to talk about the Italian Mafia that has become history and was completely swallowed up by the Howard Consortium. The Mafia could not compete with the powerful and wealthy people in the Bay Area, nor could they compete with Chinatown which occupied the central city. They could only find another way and create an artificial island, using money and unscrupulousness to attract foreign immigrants to live here and recruit good fighters among them.

After Keith Howard became successful, he expanded the artificial island several times. Now its scope is quite considerable. Most of the prominent scenes in Fatal Fury come from here.

For example, the Bubble Cafe, Sand Beach, Howard Arena which was once the venue for the King of Fighters Tournament, Florida's most prosperous Dream Amusement Park, the landmark South Town Bridge connecting the artificial island and the central city, and important scenes that cannot be avoided in the entire Fatal Fury game -

Gist.

If you think carefully about the structure of the entire South Town, it is not difficult to understand why it has become a city of sin.

Under the occupation of the US Navy, the Port Town, which should have been the center of South Town, has completely fallen into decline. The wealthy people, gangs, and Chinatown that expanded outward have almost formed separatist regimes, with the Port Town continuously supplying fresh blood to the three parties. As a coastal city, the overly convenient sea transportation and the separatist gray forces are naturally accompanied by smuggling, drug trafficking, and human trafficking.

Without enforced controls, this city is rotten to the core.

This is also the reason why the only solution Lin Xi came up with after personally taking a tour was that all the vested interests must be killed.

There is no other reason. As fate would have it, the lower class of South Town has become the target of exploitation, and an environment has been created where everything needs to be fought for by force. It is a world full of fighting.

Killing is the simplest, quickest and most effective method.

"I don't know what you are thinking, Your Excellency..." Lawrence Blood's voice came with a smile not far away, "but I always feel that it is a very dangerous idea."

"Mr. Brad." Lin Xi turned his head and put aside those unimportant thoughts. He had no interest in saving Nanzhen. He smiled as he looked at the elegant man who was walking towards him quickly. Seeing that the other party was about to kiss him on the cheek, he quickly stretched out his hand.

Lawrence Blood smiled and shook his head. He also changed his slightly forward posture, stretched out his hand and shook it, saying: "I guess you must have received an invitation from that madman Howard." "Is your family here too?" Lin Xi asked, letting go of his hand. He was still curious whether Krauser would live in the manor.

"Yeah." Lawrence Blood nodded and said with a friendly smile, "The Stroheim family also has some property in the United States. The master has not paid attention to it for many years, but the subordinates always want to show off. The master will arrive in South Town on the eve of the competition."

"At that time, you will definitely meet the Patriarch first. Likewise, the Patriarch is also looking forward to meeting you."

It is indeed a European giant with a long history that has been passed down for dozens of generations...

By the way, in the original book, after Clausa learned of Geese's death, he directly led his men to rush over and occupy South Town. The local organizations of all sizes in South Town had no ability to resist. It would be strange if they didn't have some influence in the United States.

Foundation, this is the foundation of a wealthy family.

Lin Xi didn't show any sign of it on the surface, but she couldn't help feeling a little emotional in her heart. Klausa was the one who had a really good start, but his card playing skills were terrible. When the news of his half brother's death came, he had four twos and two kings on the spot, and a single three. Who would win?

Lawrence Blood, who had no idea that the other party was secretly slandering his boss, smiled reservedly and said, "Sir, are you free to have lunch with me?"

"It's my honor." Lin Xi was infected. She put one hand on her chest, bent forward slightly, and replied in a literary manner.

This was a rather stiff act, but Lawrence Blood really liked it. With a bright smile on his face, he clapped his hands, and the luxury car parked nearby came up to the two of them. After taking them, it went straight to the most upscale and expensive restaurant on the beach in Central City.

L'Amor Restaurant

Originally, reservations were required for this place, but the Stroheim family’s reputation came in handy. They allowed people to enter by face recognition, and the best seats were given directly to the two of them.

"I heard that the reason why the restaurant here has such a luxurious reputation is because all their security personnel are fighters, and the waiters are from various martial arts schools. The safety factor is extremely high. In the 130 years since it opened, no one has been able to cause trouble in the restaurant and get away with it..."

Lawrence Bradley spoke in a gentle and slightly magnetic voice, and introduced his knowledge of the restaurant in an orderly manner.

As the security captain of the Stroheim family, he needs to go to any place where Krauser goes to check it out, get to know the place, and find restaurants and hotels of the right grade to dine in and stay in before Krauser goes there. He is quite particular.

However, Lin Xi did know a little bit about this restaurant, mainly from Fist of the Dragon and Tiger, and King of Fighters also had a little bit of involvement, that is, Sakazaki Ryo's ambiguous object——

King

This female fighter lived up to her name, Joan (poor), and had worked in many places, including the Lomore Restaurant.

"You two, let's--" A fighter in a suit came to the table and began to serve the two.
-
While Lin Xi was staying in South Town enjoying the quiet and luxurious upper-class life, far away in a desert in Texas.

"Buzz~" The earth shook, the howling wind formed a tornado, the sky was covered with dark clouds, the sunlight seemed to be swallowed up by something, and the entire desert fell into the darkest moment of less than a second.

The next second, everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened, but two men appeared silently at the edge of the road.

One of the men had short blond hair, a red and white jacket with a black T-shirt underneath, black jeans on the lower body, and an old hat on his head that was exactly the same as Terry's. After landing, he kept clicking on the flashing fluorescent screen on his watch.

The other man had short silver hair, dark skin, and was wearing a black motorcycle suit, black leather shoes, and a cross necklace around his neck. He glanced at the surroundings without any sadness or joy, looked at the warm sunshine in the sky, took a deep breath of the fresh air without any nuclear radiation, and after exhaling long, he opened his arms and closed his eyes slightly, as if hugging something.

"Stab~"

A sound of electrical signal fluctuations was heard, and the blond man's watch projected a middle-aged man in a white coat and a strange afro.

"Locke, K', your mission is to stop Lin Xi from killing Keith Howard. Do not change history without authorization. Changing history will greatly shorten the time you can stay here."

"We don't have much time..."

"If we fail this time..."

"We can't go back to 2115, right?" The blond man Locke finished the sentence, then looked at the fluctuating projection and reminded: "Dr. Brown, your signal is very poor. The monitoring device in heaven may have discovered you."

"Tsk, who would want to go back to that boring future, where everything is fixed, with no death, no past, and no future..." The silver-haired man named K' lowered his open arms and sneered, "Heaven?"

"It doesn't matter if such a hopeless future is destroyed."

Dr. Brown with an afro was stunned for a moment, revealing an expression that seemed to be both crying and laughing. "Chatter, whatever you can do is the last hope."

"Pop~" the projection disappeared for a moment and popped up again.

"Then I'll leave everything to you." He bowed deeply, and then the signal was completely cut off.

"Hey, K', where are you going?" Locke shouted hurriedly when he saw his companion was about to leave.

"I will be there before the historical node arrives." K' took out a pair of sunglasses from his arms and hung them on his face, and said in a low voice: "Goodbye, Rock Howard."

Rock Howard clenched his fists and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. He and Dr. Brown had no choice. The future was too bad. They could only take the risk of sending him, who was not marked by the heavenly entity, to the past together with K', the cyborg who had been sealed for more than a hundred years like him...

"hateful!"

"What a willful fellow!"

In the end, he couldn't help but complain loudly, his eyes flashing with strange light. After suffering unimaginable experiences when he was young, many parts of his body decayed due to the huge amount of nuclear radiation. He was sent to a freezing chamber by his adoptive father, and was not awakened until the distant future of 2110, and joined the plan to save the world.

At this time, he was still, at heart, a teenager, under such great pressure that he really needed some release.

The picture of Pioneer Square was taken by myself at a place, you can understand it by heart.

Dr. Brown's picture has not been approved yet. He is the inventor of the time machine in the Haohedera clan. It is a tribute to the movie Back to the Future
