Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

"Speaking of which, I also have people on my side who are under the command of that extraordinary expert."

Nuga thought of his two secretaries, who were now working for Li Xin.

Before he was devoured and killed by the "power of Orochi," Nuga had eight female secretaries who helped him manage his criminal empire and arrange his daily life. They were indispensable and capable assistants to him.

After his resurrection, Nuguri wanted to rebuild his anti-crime empire. The first thing he did was to find his secretaries, but he only found six of them. Two others had already moved on to other jobs. Those two were Mature and Vice.

Although Nuga had many secretaries, Mature and Weiss were always the two he used most comfortably. Apart from their minor flaw of liking to falsify accounts and secretly transfer his funds to buy luxury goods, their abilities were beyond doubt.

For Nujia, who has a large and powerful family, the two men's petty embezzlement was actually a good thing. It showed that the two men were definitely not undercover agents or traitors. Which undercover agent or traitor isn't cautious, working from dawn till dusk, and more proactive than anyone else? Unlike those two guys, who had "greed" written all over their faces.

Nughurst was never afraid of his men being greedy; he was only afraid of their disloyalty. That's why he was quite fond of Mature and Vice. As long as they didn't go too far, even if they had some minor quirks, he could just laugh it off. After all, he, Nughurst, was rich!

If Mature and Vice were under someone else's command, Nuguri would definitely snatch them back without hesitation, and would also kill the boss of Mature and Vice's storyline. What kind of person is he to deserve having a secretary?

However, the fact that Mature and Vice were now under Li Xin's command gave Nuga another idea: to turn them into his own spies and have them stay by Li Xin's side as undercover agents.

Li Xin has a good relationship with Fim, the president of "DOATEC," and will be an obstacle for Donovan to seize power in "DOATEC." Moreover, his strength is too great. Not to mention Nuga, even if Nuga, Vega, and Rado joined forces, they would definitely not be a match for Li Xin. Therefore, the only way to defeat him is through strategy, not force. As a result, it is very necessary to plant spies around him.

As for turning Mature and Vice into his informants, Nuga seemed very confident. After all, he knew very well how greedy those two women were. As long as he spent enough money, those two women would understand that he was the best boss!

After considering their options, the four of them left together. Inside the house, the petite girl was still practicing the moves from the video, but she quickly hit a roadblock.

The problem remains the same: ordinary television recordings simply cannot fully reproduce the moves of those fighters.

"Ah, I really want to go see the 'KOF' tournament live!"

The petite girl sighed, then seemed to have made up her mind: "I've decided, I'm going to get a part-time job to save money to watch the 'KOF' tournament! Go for it, Honoka, you can do it!"

Chapter 639 Double Agent

"Hello everyone, I am Wu Huanxia, ​​nice to meet you."

On the podium, Xia wrote her name and then introduced herself to the students below.

Unlike Hayabusa Village and Shiranui Village, which are all single-family villages, Shinobi Village is a collection of multiple ninja organizations. To strengthen the cohesion of Shinobi Village, the ancestors of Shinobi Village abandoned their surnames. Everyone in Shinobi Village only has a given name and no surname, including Kasumi. However, living outside, especially going to school, is definitely not possible without a surname. So, Li Xin asked Kasumi to choose a surname. Without much thought, Kasumi directly used the surname "Misty Illusion," which is obviously from the "Misty Illusion Heavenly God School."

It's quite strange that a transfer student is coming to school at this crucial juncture, when they're almost ready for high school. Fortunately, the students in the class don't care about that; their focus is entirely on Xia's outstanding appearance.

"What a cute girl!"

"Is this really a girl our age? Her breasts are so big!"

"Besides Ayane, there are actually middle school students with this kind of figure..."

The students were whispering among themselves, and Xia heard their chatter but paid no attention.

"Um, Kirigen-kun, why don't you sit next to Hayabusa-kun?"

The teacher said to Xia.

Before class, he received instructions from the principal to arrange the seats in this way. As a result, the teacher knew that this pretty student had a big background. Otherwise, why would the principal personally arrange such a thing?

Following the teacher's instructions, Xia sat down in the seat next to Ayane, and unsurprisingly, received a glare from Ayane.

Fortunately, while Ayane didn't welcome Kasumi, Angel, who sat in front of Kasumi, turned around and smiled at her, saying, "Kasumi, we're classmates from today onwards!"

Xia smiled and said to Angel, "Hello, Angel!"

This was Kasumi's first time at school and her first time being with so many peers. "Shinobi Village" was just a small village, and there weren't even enough children Kasumi's age to fill a class. Moreover, when Kasumi was in "Shinobi Village," her mother, Lady Ayame, taught her to read and write, while she learned ninjutsu from her older brother, Hayate. Only under the deliberate indulgence of Lady Ayame and Hayate did she have the opportunity to play with Ayane. After Ayane broke off their friendship, she could only play alone.

Now that she's at school and can study and interact with so many peers, Xia is incredibly excited, even forgetting that her purpose in running away from "Shinobi Village" was to avenge her brother Hayate.

No rush. Since we can't find the Thunder Path right now, let's get used to life outside first. Consider it a chance to gather intelligence. Well, gathering intelligence is a very important job for a ninja!

Xia convinced herself of this.

The first class was English. Kasumi listened to the lesson without any difficulty because English was actually taught in "Ninja Village". After all, modern ninjas' missions were not limited to Japan, but also went abroad. Therefore, they needed to know multiple languages, not only English, but also French, German, and even some Latin. Kasumi had some talent for languages. She could not only listen to and write English, but also had a particularly standard pronunciation. In class, she was called on by the teacher to read an article and received praise from the teacher.

Seeing Kasumi's outstanding performance in class, Ayane was not surprised. She had received the same ninja education and knew that English was no challenge for Kasumi. But it didn't matter. Ayane recalled the class schedule and revealed a strange smile, which made Kagura Tsuchimiya, who was sitting next to her, look stunned.

"The six faces of a cube are congruent squares. Let the edge length of the cube be x, and the surface area be y. Obviously, for every value of x, there is a corresponding value of y, that is, y is a function of x. Their specific relationship can be expressed as..."

On the podium, the math teacher was explaining a problem, while below, Xia's eyelids were drooping.

What "x," what "y," what "function"... I can understand the individual words, but when they're put together, it feels like my brain can't keep up! Ugh, my head is spinning, I really want to sleep...

Under the "magical voice" of the math teacher, Xia felt sleepy and couldn't help but lie on her desk, which was exactly the "opportunity" that Ayane had been waiting for!

Ayane raised one hand and pointed with the other at Kasumi, who was asleep on her desk, and said to the math teacher who was giving the lesson, "Teacher, Kasumi is sleeping in class!"

Then, pointing at Angel, he added, "Also, Angel was eating snacks in class!"

Xia: "(︶。︶?) Huff...huff..."

Angel: "Σ(O_O)つ◎-..."

....................................

"Ayane, is this really funny?!"

During the break, Kasumi glared at Ayane with an expression of extreme shame and indignation.

Ayane calmly put on a red armband, then pointed to it and said, "Excuse me, I am a member of the disciplinary committee. It is my duty to point out students' misconduct."

Xia's face immediately turned very ugly, looking like she was angry but couldn't vent it.

I'm so angry! I'm absolutely furious!

Xia was so angry she wanted to flip the table. Angel sighed, "Xia, let it go. You only got a few words from the teacher. I just had my snacks confiscated..."

Actually, the math teacher didn't do anything to Xia just now. After Japan entered an era of more relaxed education, teachers rarely supervised students during class time.

It's fine if you don't pay attention in class, and you can even sleep if you want, as long as you don't disturb other students' learning. Most teachers are happy to turn a blind eye. After all, if they really interfere too much, these kids are very delicate. What if they suddenly have a moment of despair and try to commit suicide? That would be like shooting themselves in the foot!

So when Ayane tattled on Kasumi for sleeping in class, the math teacher only said a few words to Kasumi, telling her not to do it again, without making her stand as punishment or giving her a stern reprimand. But Kasumi couldn't get over it. She had never been so embarrassed in her life, especially in front of a classmate she had just met. How embarrassing!

After bullying Kasumi, Ayane was happy for a while, but soon fell into intense self-loathing.

Ultimately, Ayane's resentment towards Kasumi stemmed entirely from Kasumi's status. Kasumi herself had never done anything to wrong her; in fact, when Ayane was bullied by the villagers as a child, it was Kasumi who helped her. Kasumi had shown her kindness, not enmity. Ayane's actions just now were nothing short of repaying kindness with enmity, which was wrong.

"Alright, from now on, pay attention in class and don't sleep in class anymore, understand?"

Ayane adopted a mature tone and spoke to Kasumi in a lecturing manner.

Kasumi rolled her eyes at Ayane and muttered under her breath, "It's not like I wanted to sleep, but I really couldn't understand a word the teacher was saying..."

The more seriously you try to think about something you don't understand, the more tired your brain becomes, and the stronger your drowsiness becomes. It's not that Xia didn't try to listen attentively in class, but if you don't understand, you just don't understand. The math curriculum in "Shinobi Village" only teaches addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. They don't teach functions at all. Xia doesn't have the relevant foundation, so listening to the math teacher's lectures is like listening to gibberish. It's no wonder she falls asleep.

Ayane looked at Kasumi and said, "After school, come and study with us."

"Tutoring?"

Kasumi was taken aback, not understanding why Ayane, who had been very hostile towards her, would suddenly show her kindness.

(PS: No, are you sure this is well-intentioned?)

"Don't misunderstand, I just don't want you to waste the good intentions that Brother Ashin has in sending you to school."

Ayane turned her head away and said.

She still hadn't figured out how to face Xia. Although she felt better and less resentful towards Xia after teasing her, she still had a knot in her heart.

"That's why I said this person has a very awkward personality."

Angel chimed in, still feeling bad about her confiscated snacks.

Kagura Tsuchimiya breathed a sigh of relief as she watched the two seemingly reconcile, and said with a smile, "Let's all study together from now on!"

"Ok!"

Xia, who didn't even know what tutoring was, smiled happily.

....................................

"Boss, we have something to report to you!"

Inside the firm, Mature and Vice addressed Lee.

Luxury goods purchased during work hours are not reimbursed.

Li Xin looked at the two of them indifferently.

"They won't reimburse me! That's outrageous!"

Mai Zhuo and Wei Si were heartbroken, then suddenly realized that they hadn't come for this matter, and quickly said, "Boss, you've misunderstood, we didn't come to ask you for reimbursement!"

"Then why else could it be?"

Li Xin looked at the two parasites with suspicion.

These two are only enthusiastic about this kind of thing, aren't they? When it comes to actual work, they hide away. If it weren't for the fact that they could help Lai Shenglei with some company business, Li Xin would have kicked these two bitches out long ago.

"It's the former BOSS! The former BOSS, Nu Jia, has contacted us. He wants us to be his informants and report your situation to him!"

Mature and Weiss said in unison.

It must be said that Nuga was very efficient. He had just decided to bribe Mature and Vice that very night and contacted them to explain his intentions.

Both of them were single, and after hesitating for a second, they decided to betray the former BOSS to the current BOSS!

Unfortunately, although the former boss treated them very well and was generous, he couldn't beat the male boss in terms of fighting ability, and he wasn't as rich as the female boss. Mature and Vice knew the principle of "discretion is the better part of valor," so they had no choice but to let the former boss suffer.

“Nuga, that guy…”

Hearing that Nujia actually wanted to plant spies around him, Li Xin was furious.

Okay, I haven't even gone to see you yet, and you're already coming to me with business!

Li Xin hurriedly asked Mature and Vice, "Where is Nuga now?"

"do not know!"

Mature and Weiss shook their heads: "He only sent us an email, he didn't meet with us in person."

Li Xin thought for a moment, then took out his phone and sent a message to "Noah," asking "Noah" to help track down Nuga.

Noah quickly replied, telling Li Xin that he couldn't track Nuga. He traced the email's IP address to the computer that sent it and hijacked all the nearby cameras, but he still couldn't find Nuga's whereabouts. Nuga must have already left the area.

Li Xin sighed slightly, thought for a moment, and then said to Mai Zhuo and Wei Si, "Tell me, what are your plans?"

He knew that Mature and Weiss must have some plan, otherwise they could have simply refused Nuga and there would have been no need to inform Li Xin.

Sure enough, Mature and Vice rubbed their hands together and said to Li Xin with a smile, "Well, BOSS, here's what we're thinking. We can pretend to submit to Nuga first, and then steal Nuga's information from you."

"Also, we can provide Nuga with false information so that he can't figure out your true strength."

Li Xin pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly: "To put it bluntly, you two just want to be double agents, right?"

Mai Zhuo and Wei Si smiled reservedly. Ha, why wouldn't they take the extra paycheck?

Li Xin thought for a moment and said to the two of them, "Okay, I allow you to continue to contact Nuga, and you can even pass on some unimportant information to Nuga."

The two were overjoyed and were about to say "Thank you, BOSS" when Li Xin quickly added, "But I want half of the money Nu Jia gave you."

"You're robbing me!"

Mai Zhuo and Wei Si were furious. Why should they share half of the money they painstakingly earned by swindling fools with Li Xin? They were already being very generous by not taking an extra share from Li Xin!

Li Xin didn't speak, but just stared at the two of them, making them feel uneasy.

"Two, two percent! We can only give you two percent at most, no more!"

Mai Zhuo and Wei Si backed down, knowing that without Li Xin's cooperation, they probably wouldn't be able to earn this money.

Li Xin continued to look at the two of them, who were hugging each other, seeking a sense of security: "Thirty percent, that's the most we can do. Any more and we're not doing it anymore. We'll refuse any further additions!"

"Okay, 30% or 30%."

Li Xin felt he had pushed him far enough, so he decided to stop while he was ahead. After all, he didn't have to do anything, and he was getting 30% for free, so what was there to complain about?

Mature and Weiss breathed a sigh of relief, then felt they had been shortchanged, and said, "We've given you 30%, so you have to protect our safety!"

They knew very well that this double agent trick would be exposed sooner or later. With their current strength, they were no match for Nuga. Without Li Xin's protection, what would Nuga do if he found out he had been tricked and sought revenge?

"Don't worry, don't you know me? Once I take the money, I'll make sure you're safe."

Li Xin smiled.

After Mature and Vice, Ayane and the others finished school. Ayane, Angel, Kagura Tsuchimiya, and the newly joined Kasumi formed a study group and received tutoring from Ai-sensei.

Seeing the four of them studying so diligently, Li Xin smiled with satisfaction.

I am determined to ensure that more children can have access to education!

The future Principal Li thought to himself.
