Kagura Chizuru surveyed the extent of the damage and roughly calculated the time required for repairs. The rear of the mansion, including the shrine and the back garden, was well-preserved and only required simple maintenance. However, the front garden of the mansion was completely destroyed and needed to be demolished and rebuilt entirely.

Considering that Li Wei needs to use the front courtyard as a testing ground for various fighters during this period, the original front courtyard is already a bit cramped. Now, it would be best to take this opportunity to expand the mansion. Anyway, the nearby land belongs to the Kagura family, so there won't be any problem expanding it now.

Kagura Chizuru said, "Li Weijun, the mansion has been destroyed and is in this state. It will need to be rebuilt and repaired in the next few days, which will definitely be noisy and disruptive to your rest. Would you like me to book a hotel for you?"

Although only the rooms in the front courtyard were damaged, it still caused the mansion to be "overcrowded." The servants could squeeze in, but this would inevitably affect the rest of Li Wei and the others, which made Kagura Chizuru feel a little bad.

“It’s alright, I’m quite used to staying here. Hotels are actually inconvenient,” Li Wei said with a smile.

Just after the Kagura family weathered this crisis, Goenitz returned to a secret base of the Orochi Familia in Tokyo. Despite losing an arm, he was sweating profusely from the intense pain, but it was still within his tolerance.

Goenitz sat down in the chair, letting out a sigh of relief. He was still somewhat shaken. The golden longsword contained immense power; if it had struck his torso directly, he might have been left there. Losing an arm was a relatively minor price to pay.

Goenitz looked at his severed arm. The bleeding had stopped, and at the same time, a large number of nerve plexuses extended from the wound, and new bone grew from the wound.

Orochi Kintoki members possess vitality far exceeding that of ordinary people, and the Eight Orochi Warriors, as leaders, have regenerative abilities far surpassing those of ordinary Orochi Kintoki members. For an injury like a severed arm, his arm can regenerate in just a few hours at most.

However, the loss of some blood will have a certain impact on his strength. The source of the Orochi Kin's power is the blood of the Orochi within their bodies, and the loss of blood will inevitably affect their strength.

However, this decline in strength is only temporary. With proper recuperation, the negative effects caused by the loss of blood from the severed arm will disappear in two or three months at most.

Goenitz gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "This time it was an intelligence failure that led me to choose the wrong time to act, and it also resulted in the loss of elite members of the Familia. It seems that we will have to be quiet for the next few months. Moreover, that man is very dangerous and may become the biggest obstacle to the revival of the Guardian God."

Although the Orochi clan is now ready to revive Orochi, he is the only one among the Eight Orochi who has awakened. He alone cannot defeat Levi, so he wants to awaken more members of the Eight Orochi. Only with such a numerical advantage will he have the courage to challenge him.

(Li Zhao) as a single member of the Eight Heroes, facing a master like Li Wei who could foul out of skill, had no chance of winning.

"Damn it... These lowly animals abandoned by the guardian gods have surpassed our own kind in strength! What ferocious and savage beasts they are!" Goenitz's face was contorted. Now that there was no one else around, he didn't need to control his emotions. Being defeated by Levi had trampled his pride into the ground.

Goenitz always believed that only the Orochi Familia were truly noble humans, while ordinary people were nothing more than abandoned beasts, who, although they had the same appearance, were completely different inside.

Just as chimpanzees and humans share 98.5% DNA similarity, they are completely different beings. In Goenitz's view, ordinary people were simply a group of chimpanzees, and he, as a noble person, was defeated by a lowly chimpanzee—a fact his pride could not accept.

Chapter 280. The Kusanagi Family

On Li Wei's side, from an angle unseen by everyone, he revealed a smile like DIO's, because he had received feedback from the system that Goenitz had provided him with a considerable amount of points.

Goenitz suffered a severe blow to his pride after his defeat in battle and loss to humans. He was proud to be a member of the Orochi Familia and could not accept the fact that he had been defeated. His dignity was shattered, and he gained 2500 points, leaving him with 20250 points.

2500 points is no small number. The fact that such a large amount was returned at once shows how devastating the defeat was for Goenitz.

Moreover, the system's feedback also helped Livy find Goenitz's weakness.

This weakness stems from Goenitz's pride as a member of the Orochi clan. Li Wei can understand Goenitz's pride; simply labeling Goenitz as a racist makes it clear.

However, racial discrimination among ordinary people is limited to the human group. White people look down on all races other than white people, Asian people look down on black people, and black people in turn look down on Asian people. At the same time, they feel that white people are discriminating against them at any time and in any place.

Goenitz's approach was even simpler and more brutal: to him, humans were inferior beings. Perhaps only those who were also members of the Orochi Familia could be considered "human" by Goenitz.

However, Livy's guess was very close to the truth; Goenitz really thought so.

"I didn't expect your weakness to be pride in your identity. Well then, let that pride become a tool I can use to earn a few more points." Li Wei revealed a DIO-style smile.

Li Wei and Kagura Chizuru had been gone for less than two hours, and there was still some time before lunch. Kagura Chizuru had already contacted a construction team with great efficiency and was preparing to rebuild the mansion, aiming to complete the repair and expansion within three days.

However, due to the tight schedule, the entire daytime is the construction period, and the noise pollution caused by the construction will be quite heavy.

The casualties of the Kagura family have also been tallied. The attack by the Orochi Familia resulted in 5 deaths and 14 injuries. However, the Kagura family has purchased full insurance for their servants. If the insurance process is followed, the compensation that the Kagura family has to pay will be within an acceptable range. Moreover, the $5000 million from Li Wei's side has already arrived. The Asian regional divisions cannot spend that much. Using a portion as compensation will not have any impact on the arrangements for the Asian divisions.

The Kagura sisters stayed at the mansion to direct the construction team, and Yuri Sakazaki also stayed behind. Levi took Joan out the door, preparing to go to Kusanagi Castle to deliver the special invitation letter.

Li Wei brought some neon coins from Kagura Chizuru. He hadn't exchanged too many neon coins when he came to Japan, but now he needed them all the time, so he exchanged more to be on the safe side.

Li Wei originally intended to take a taxi to Kusanagi Castle, because the driver who picked him up earlier had been seriously injured in the attack by the Orochi Kintoki and had now been sent to the hospital to recuperate.

Kagura Chizuru arranged for another servant to temporarily act as a driver to take Li Wei and Qiong to Kusanagi Castle.

Kusanagi Castle is located in Suginami Ward. Although the driver was not a professional driver, he was a member of the family arranged by Chizuru Kagura who was very familiar with Tokyo. He kept looking for shortcuts along the way and soon arrived at a magnificent small castle.

The Kusanagi family is the strongest in terms of direct combat power among the Three Sacred Treasures families, even surpassing the Yagami family. It is precisely because of their confidence in their own strength that the Kusanagi family's businesses are more extensive than those of the Kagura family; to put it bluntly, they are much richer.

Kusanagi Castle is the most direct manifestation of its wealth and social status. In a modern city, a large-scale castle-like building with a retro design is enough to illustrate its wealth and social status.

The Kusanagi family had fiefdoms in ancient times, and these fiefdoms are still preserved today. However, the core members of the Kusanagi family now live in Tokyo.

Li Wei and Qiong got out of the car, and the driver parked the car in a temporary parking space on the side of the road, waiting in the car for Li Wei and Qiong to return.

"What a magnificent building! This must be the castle on the Japanese side!" Joan shaded her eyes with her hand, her expression full of admiration.

The Kusanagi family's castle, with its massive foundation, is significantly taller than the surrounding buildings, giving it a rather spectacular architectural feel.

Moreover, this ancient Eastern architectural style has an indescribable mysterious beauty for Westerners like Joan. This can be considered a beauty filter in the eyes of many Westerners. Anything from ancient Eastern times must be beautiful, which is a common idea among many Westerners.

Li Wei laughed and said, "This level of architecture isn't really spectacular. If there's a chance in the future, I'll show you what truly magnificent architecture looks like."

Joan listened to Li Wei's words and felt a surge of interest. Nowadays, most of the world's architectural wonders have become tourist attractions in their respective countries, and privately owned architectural wonders are extremely rare. Li Wei's words meant that he wanted to show her the unique architectural wonders of his family. She pondered that this might mean that Li Wei had truly accepted her and was preparing to train her as a butler, integrating her into his family.

Thinking about this, Joan felt a little excited. Although she wasn't staying by Li Wei's side in the way she wanted, at least this statement proved that Li Wei acknowledged her and was prepared to accept her into his social circle.

Li Wei was unaware that Joan had misunderstood his words. What he meant was that when Joan went to the floating island later, there would be all sorts of ancient wonders on the island. The Kusanagi family's castle, on the floating island, would only be considered an entry-level wonder.

Because the castle was built on a foundation, one had to climb a flight of stairs before entering. Li Wei led Joan up the stairs and soon reached the final platform, where they knocked on the heavy, antique-style gate. On the city wall, a hunched old man saw Li Wei and Joan and said, "Guests, please wait a moment." The old man was very quick; the gate opened almost immediately after he finished speaking.

The hunched old man pushed open the door with a smile and said, "Where have you two guests come from? Is there anything you need to discuss with the head of the household?"

Li Wei took out a special invitation from his pocket and said, "I am the person who distributed the invitation to the World King of Fighters Tournament. I am here to deliver the special invitation to the head of the Kusanagi family." The old man looked surprised and said, "This is truly a rare honored guest. Please come in. The head of the family is at home. I will go and inform him right away."

Li Wei nodded and followed the old man into the castle. Upon entering the gate, there was a very spacious training ground. The ground was paved with a large number of white pebbles mixed with fine sand, and it was very flat. Various training equipment was neatly placed under the canopy. Li Wei also saw several stone locks weighing several hundred kilograms. This kind of retro training equipment had long been eliminated by modern times. He didn't expect to see the real thing here.

On the way, the old man instructed his servants to prepare the reception room and arranged for them to lead Li Wei and Qiong there first. He then disappeared in a flash.

In Li Wei's perception, the old man lightly jumped to the height of the fourth floor, landed lightly on the middle roof of the castle, and jumped again, directly onto the balcony of the castle tower, and walked in with light steps.

There, Li Wei sensed a powerful energy fluctuation; it belonged to Kusanagi Shizuru, Kusanagi Kyo's father, a middle-aged man who remained somewhat unreliable.

Chapter 281. Kyo Kusanagi, the biker gangster?

The hunchbacked old man was a ninja who kept his true abilities hidden. Although he looked old, his strength far surpassed that of most ordinary fighters. Moreover, as a ninja who was proficient in assassination and infiltration, killing a fighter would not be difficult for him. After all, ninjas are professionals in this field.

Although the Kusanagi family is not the head of the Three Sacred Treasures families, their economic conditions are the best among the three, so it is understandable that their servant team is of higher overall quality.

As the head of the Three Sacred Treasures clan, the Kagura clan's servants are mostly ordinary people with little combat ability. Gaining the loyalty of experienced and powerful old ninjas like this is no easy task.

Moreover, ninjas of this age cannot be hired from outside. They are members of a ninja clan affiliated with the Kusanagi family, a clan that has been loyal to the Kusanagi family for hundreds of years. Such loyalty is difficult for outsiders to understand.

After the old man entered the top floor of the castle tower, he saw Kusanagi Shizuru sitting cross-legged in front of the TV playing video games. He was a middle-aged man who still liked all sorts of things for young people.

"Oh, it's Uncle Monze. Is there something important that you need me to handle?" Kusanagi Shizuru put down the game controller.

Kusanagi Shizuru is a middle-aged man with a slightly thin build, but he possesses very strong muscles and Kusanagi blood that is as hot as flames within him. This "hot" is not an adjective, but a physical description of the heat; his blood has a base temperature of over 500 degrees Celsius. Without a strong body to support it, the blood would backfire on the body.

The reason why the NESTS organization repeatedly failed to clone Kyo Kusanagi was also related to the high temperature of Kusanagi's blood; ordinary clones simply could not withstand such power.

It could even be said that the Kusanagi family's blood doesn't flow like blood, but rather like highly flammable and explosive liquid explosives.

The old ninja said, "The people from the King of Fighters tournament came to send out invitations, probably wanting to invite you, the patriarch, to participate in the King of Fighters tournament."

Kusanagi Shizuru said with some surprise, "Isn't the King of Fighters tournament always held in America? Why are those people coming to Japan?"

After saying that, Kusanagi Shizuru jumped off the castle tower and landed lightly on the ground. He then walked towards the reception room, showing great interest in the suddenly arriving officials from the King of Fighters tournament.

The Japanese of this era, having created a post-war economic miracle, are also proud and have a competitive spirit towards those who come from Afghanistan.

After being led to the reception room by the servants, Li Wei patiently drank tea and waited for Kusanagi Shizuru's arrival. Joan, on the other hand, curiously observed the surrounding environment. This exotic oriental charm aroused her curiosity, making her instinctively observe everything around her like a child in a strange environment.

Li Wei's patience has now been cultivated; after all, he is now in a "high position," and his ability to cultivate his composure is naturally getting better and better.

As Kusanagi Shizuru entered the reception room, he saw the young Li Wei and was somewhat surprised. "Look, the official King of Fighters tournament in the country actually sent an Asian face to represent them and send out invitations all over the world. This is truly a rare thing."

"I apologize for not greeting you properly, my esteemed guest." Kusanagi Shizuru did not put on airs just because Li Wei was a young man. With a warm smile on his face, he sat down in the main seat.

"Not at all, it was our abrupt visit that was rather presumptuous and impolite," Li Wei said with a smile. He was becoming more and more adept at various polite phrases. There was a certain degree to this kind of politeness; one had to consider the other party's feelings while maintaining a relatively high posture oneself. Without some skill, one really couldn't handle it.

After exchanging pleasantries, both were somewhat surprised. Li Wei was surprised that Kusanagi Shizuru's information did not match the information provided by SNK's internal staff. The information stated that Kusanagi Shizuru was a very unreliable person, but the lean middle-aged man in front of him was very skilled in various diplomatic phrases. After chatting for a few minutes, they basically gained a certain understanding of each other.

As the head of the Kusanagi family, Kusanagi Shizuru is quite capable. Not only is his own strength guaranteed, but he is also very good at talking. If Li Wei did not have the advantage of thinking speed, he might not have been able to gain the upper hand in the verbal exchange.

...ask for flowers.

Kusanagi Shizuru was surprised by Li Wei's youth and maturity beyond his years. At Li Wei's age, he was not as mature and composed as Li Wei.

The exchange between the two sides went relatively smoothly. Li Wei sighed with relief that he didn't have to face Kusanagi Kyo. If he had faced Kusanagi Shizuru directly, he could have just said all the official things and sent out the invitation and left. If it were Kusanagi Kyo at this time, there would have been more trouble. After all, the current Kusanagi Kyo was a problem child and had not yet matured as he had after the millennium.

However, as soon as you speak of Cao Cao, Cao Cao appears. In Li Wei's perception, the figure of Kyo Kusanagi appears, riding a motorcycle into the castle from the winding mountain road behind it. Li Wei estimates Kyo Kusanagi's current age; he is probably not yet an adult (20 is the age of adulthood in Japan), and he is even below the legal age for driving a large motorcycle. Right now, he can be considered an "unlicensed rider."

0...

Moreover, Kyo Kusanagi's motorcycle design is quite exaggerated, full of the unique style of a biker gang. Li Wei almost burst out laughing. Kyo Kusanagi's embarrassing history is revealed.

Kyo Kusanagi seemed to sense that guests had arrived. He walked straight towards the living room, flung open the paper door, and said, "Old man, have we got guests?" Shizuru Kusanagi's face darkened. He said, "You unfilial son! Show some manners! Can't you see our distinguished guest is here?"

Li Wei looked at Kyo Kusanagi, who was wearing a special attack uniform. At this moment, Kyo Kusanagi had an exaggerated pompadour hairstyle, and his school uniform had been modified into a long robe with a delinquent style. There were also metal studs on the shoulders. He did not have the demeanor of a so-called "noble prince of fire" at all, and looked just like a delinquent boy squatting by the roadside smoking.

Kyo Kusanagi saw Li Wei and Qiong, realizing his timing was inappropriate, and said, "Sorry, sorry, I thought it was some uncles coming to visit. And who are you two?" Shizuru Kusanagi replied, "These two are the official invitation distributors for the King of Fighters tournament; they've come to deliver a special invitation to our family." Kyo Kusanagi looked surprised.

Chapter 282. A Challenge with a Significant Disparity in Strength

Li Wei looked at Kyo Kusanagi and smiled, "This must be Kyo Kusanagi, the champion of the All-Japan Alien Fighting Tournament. I've heard so much about you."

No one dislikes praise, and Kusanagi Kyo is no exception, especially now that he's at his rebellious age, often arguing with his father. He particularly enjoys compliments like those from Li Wei. Kusanagi Kyo scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly and laughed, "This is quite embarrassing. I didn't expect my fame to have spread so far." Kusanagi Kyo sat down next to his father and said, "Guest, are you from the country of Amei?" Li Wei nodded.

"Guest, you must be very strong to be able to distribute invitations to the King of Fighters tournament. I want to challenge you and test my own abilities," Kyo Kusanagi said seriously.
