Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

"Did I play with 'Heart'?"

Helena was stunned.

"Yes."

Maria said to Helena, "Have you forgotten that when you were seven years old, there was a little girl from Japan who played with you, and you even took a picture with Fim?"

"I……"

Helena tried to recall carefully, and vaguely remembered fragments of memories. There was a little girl in a kimono, as delicate as a porcelain doll, who had played with her. But the little girl was only three or four years old, and she didn't recognize that little girl as "Kokoro".

Looking at the somewhat timid "Heart," Helena asked, "Are you my sister?"

"I……"

"Heart" glanced away for a moment, but still whispered, "Yes, elder sister."

Helena processed the sudden influx of information into her mind, then asked, "Why didn't you tell me sooner? You should have known from the beginning, right? I mean, about our first meeting."

"Father forbade me to say it. He said he was afraid you would be unhappy, sister."

"Heart" said cautiously.

hiss……

Facing the sharp gazes of Helena and Maria, Fim felt as if four sharp swords had pierced his body, and he couldn't help but gasp.

Oh no, it looks like things aren't going to get any better from here on out!

Fim was somewhat annoyed, but could only shamelessly say, "I was just afraid Helena would be unhappy..."

"Am I (Helena) such a petty person?"

Helena and Maria said in unison.

Fim lowered his head and admitted his mistake: "Yes, yes, yes, it was my fault, I was overthinking it."

After giving Fim a piece of their mind, Helena and Maria took Heart's hand together: "Heart, from now on, we are your family."

"Big sister..."

"Heart" looked at Helena, then at Maria. Maria smiled and stroked "Heart's" head: "You can call me Mom, or if you don't want to, you can call me Aunt Maria."

"mom!"

Without any hesitation, Heart addressed Maria as "Mom".

"Hey!"

Maria smiled with relief and hugged Helena and "Heart" together.

Fim cautiously approached and forced a dry laugh, saying, "A family reunion is truly a joyous occasion!"

"Get out of my way, I'll settle the score with you later!"

Maria glared at Fim.

Fim knew he had acted unfairly, gave an awkward smile, and stepped aside.

"Seriously, what's going on today? So many people are reuniting with their relatives..."

Angel scratched her head.

Li Xin pressed Angel's head down and said to her, "Isn't this good?"

Angel thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine too."

Chapter 707 "Fusha's Painting"

It's truly a joyous occasion that two pairs of sisters recognized each other within a single day.

Unfortunately, it's already quite late, so Maria told "Heart" to go back to her room and rest properly. They can have a good talk as a family tomorrow after she's had a good rest.

Indeed, a lot had happened today, and everyone was tired. So, Phim invited Li Xin and the others to stay at the mansion. As for him, Maria dragged him over there. As for what they were going to do, Li Xin didn't understand; he didn't know.

The next day, after resting, Li Xin and the others got up and saw at the breakfast place that Fim and Maria had made up. Maria had a rosy complexion and looked radiant, while Fim... well, there was nothing wrong with him, except that his eyes were a little dark.

As for why this happened, Li Xin didn't understand; he didn't know.

"Haah~"

Fim yawned and said to Li Xin, "Mr. Li Xin, we really owe you and your friends a lot for this. Don't go back for the next few days. Have a good time in Paris. All expenses are on me."

"I can't accept this..."

"Thank you, Boss! You're so generous!"

Before Li Xin could finish speaking, the two women, Mai Zhuo and Wei Si, agreed on his behalf—they certainly wouldn't let go of such an opportunity to rob the rich for themselves.

Fim chuckled and said, "Then let Helena keep you company. I didn't sleep well last night, so I'll go back and rest for a while. Have fun."

You could tell from the deep dark circles under his eyes that Fim really didn't get a good night's rest last night.

Li Xin was a little surprised. Was I really that tired last night? Oh, I see!

Li Xin remembered that Maria wasn't the only lover of Mr. Fim, so Mr. Fim must have been very busy last night.

Helena had taken her agency on a trip to Paris before, but Li Xin didn't go. Now that everything is over, he finally has time to have some fun.

"Heart" was also afraid of being recognized by Donovan's people, so she had been hiding in the castle in the suburbs and hadn't dared to go out. This time, she could finally enjoy the scenery of Paris.

Of course, Li Xin knew very well that this trip, ostensibly for fun, was actually to help "Xin" relax.

After all, his mother had just passed away, and he was feeling very sad. Accompanying everyone out to relax might help him feel a little better, but it's a real blow to Mr. Fim's wallet...

Oh, they have plenty of money and don't care about this, how infuriating!

Just as Li Xin stepped out, he suddenly received a phone call from Long Wu, whom he hadn't heard from in a long time.

"Hey, Fifth Brother!"

Li Xin was happy to receive Long Wu's call, as it meant that Long Wu was safe and sound.

"Ah-Xin, I heard about what happened on your end from Mr. Douglas. Well done."

Long Wu's voice was tired but excited: "Of course, you're so capable, I can't let you down. Jiu'er, Chunli, and I raided Donovan's secret research institute in Prussia and have obtained all the evidence of his crimes, as well as the list of wealthy people and officials who colluded with him."

Hearing about Long Wu's achievements, Li Xin was very happy: "Fifth Brother, thank you for your hard work!"

"Hey, if we're talking about hard work, can it be as hard as what you guys are going through?"

Long Wu laughed: "It's all thanks to you that you lured away Donovan's top fighters, otherwise we wouldn't have been able to infiltrate his secret base so easily."

The reason why there were 32 contestants in the official DOA tournament was to force Donovan to bring out more top fighters, making it easier for Long Wu and his team to carry out their mission. And Long Wu and his team did not disappoint the prize money that Fimdo spent, successfully finding evidence of Donovan and his accomplices' crimes in the Prussian secret research institute.

"It's great that you've made some progress. Donovan is dead. I was really worried about where to find evidence of his crimes."

Li Xin let out a long sigh of relief.

Acts of great righteousness often occur not beforehand, but afterward.

Without evidence from Dragon Five, the war between Fim and Donovan could only be categorized as a power struggle.

With this evidence, it is clear that DOATEC's president, Fim, was cleaning house to maintain social stability and ethical order. The reasons given for these two actions are completely different, and the most direct impact is on DOATEC's stock price.

Well, in a capitalist society, no matter how much you talk about it, it will eventually be reflected in the stock price.

Fifth Brother, where are you now?

Li Xin asked Long Wudao.

“Me? I just arrived in Paris and was about to discuss with Mr. Fim how to handle this evidence.”

Long Wu replied.

He is currently just a low-level mid-level officer in Interpol. Even if he has evidence of Donovan's crimes, he dares not release it because there are too many high-ranking officials and dignitaries among Donovan's collaborators, whom he cannot afford to offend. Only by relying on the connections of Fim Douglas, the president of DOATEC, can this evidence have a decisive effect.

“Mr. Fim, he was very tired last night... no, I mean yesterday. He needs to rest well today. Why don’t you come again tomorrow?”

Li Xin said to Long Wu.

"I see..."

Long Wu thought for a moment and then asked Li Xin, "And what about you?"

"Me? I'm fine here, just hanging out with my friends in Paris."

Li Xin replied.

"I see..."

Long Wu thought for a moment and said, "Ah Xin, why don't you bring two more? Jiu'er and Chunli have suffered a lot with me these past few days. Take them along to relax and give them a break."

"Where are you now? I'll have them come find you, I'm not coming. I'm looking for Ah Jin, it's been a long time since I've seen him."

"I'm over at Notre Dame Cathedral."

Li Xin answered subconsciously, then said to Long Wu, "Fifth Brother, Jiu'er and Chunli don't know my friends, you're doing this..."

"Hello? The signal is bad, I can't hear you. Just leave it at that!"

Without giving Li Xin a chance to speak, Long Wu hung up the phone.

Li Xin: "..."

Fine, let's leave it at that.

Because of Long Wu's phone call, Li Xin could only ask everyone to wait near Notre Dame Cathedral for a while. Helena, as the host, was not only not bothered by the new guests, but was also very happy.

"Miss Chun-Li is coming too? That's wonderful!"

Helena exclaimed with delight, "I'm so lucky to be able to see the two most powerful female fighters in the 'KOF' tournament up close!"

In the previous "KOF" tournament, Mai Shiranui and Chun-Li's amazing battle earned them the title of "fighting goddesses" among fighting game fans, and they were highly praised by the fighting game community.

"Wait, I can't pretend I didn't hear that. The two strongest female fighters in the 'KOF' tournament... Chun-Li, who else is there?"

Mai Shiranui couldn't help but say.

Helena smiled and said, "Of course it's you, Miss Shiranui."

"That's more like it."

Mai Shiranui crossed her arms, looking quite smug, but quickly sensed something was wrong.

"It's not 'the two strongest female fighters,' it should just be 'the strongest female fighters,' you should remove the 'two'!"

Mai Shiranui corrected, "I beat Chun-Li in the 'KOF' tournament before, and I also won the 'DOA' tournament just now!"

"He was clearly the runner-up!"

Yuri Sakazaki dismantles the situation.

Mai Shiranui confidently declared, "In a competition with Shin participating, there's no difference between second place and first place!"

This view was unanimously agreed upon by others. Indeed, putting such a monster into the competition would be tantamount to killing the competition; it would be better to exclude him and calculate the results directly.

"In short, I am the most powerful female fighter, understand?"

Mai Shiranui put her hands on her hips and said smugly.

"Oh, you really have the nerve to say that!"

A voice that was sharply opposed to Mai Shiranui's interruption broke in. Chun-Li strode up to Mai Shiranui and said, "You woman, you only won against me by luck once. What's there to be so proud of!"

"Of course I'm happy to have won! If you're not satisfied, come and fight me again!"

Mai Shiranui stepped forward, and Chun-Li, not to be outdone, also stepped forward, wanting to have a match with Mai Shiranui.

She was quite upset about losing to Mai Shiranui in the previous "KOF" tournament. These days, while carrying out her mission as an Interpol agent, she has not neglected her martial arts skills. In battles against various eccentric criminals, her strength has steadily improved, and she has already touched the edge of becoming a top-tier eccentric. She is very confident that she can defeat Mai Shiranui from the "KOF" tournament.

"Come on then, do you think I'd be afraid of a defeated opponent like you!"

Mai Shiranui stood with her hands on her hips and chest puffed out, repeatedly calling Chun-Li "a defeated opponent," which only made Chun-Li angrier.

These two people had a feud before the "KOF" tournament, and now it seems to be getting worse.

"Alright, you two, now's the time to fight!"

Li Xin reached out and separated the two who were about to form a "soy milk".

Mai Shiranui and Chun-Li both glanced at Li Xin, then at each other, snorted, and took a step back, as if to give Li Xin face.

Li Xin breathed a sigh of relief. He had guessed that this would happen, which was why he didn't want Chunli and Long Jiu to come.

Li Xin could persuade the two not to fight, but he couldn't stop them from wanting to prove themselves.
