"Bang, bang, bang..."

A gentle and rhythmic knock on the door suddenly sounded.

"Enter."

Ito Cheng raised his head, looked at the door and shouted softly.

"Click!"

The door lock clicked lightly, and the door was gently opened. Then, Athena Asamiya walked in, wearing a pink sailor suit, dark red silk pantyhose on her legs, and her long lavender hair naturally scattered behind her head.

"Mr. Ito." Asamiya Athena stopped in front of the desk and greeted.

"It's Athena, what's the matter?" Ito Cheng asked softly with a kind smile on his face.

"I want to bring forward the big vacation in two months and start resting now." Asamiya Athena said.

"Oh? Why?" Ito Cheng said in surprise.

"Um, Mr. Ito, I wonder if you have heard of the King of Fighters Tournament?" Athena Asamiya hesitated for a moment after hearing the question, and then asked, not knowing what to say.

"King of Fighters Tournament?" Ito Cheng repeated. Athena Asamiya nodded in agreement.

"I've heard of it. Speaking of which, I quite like that competition. What? It's the date of the competition again?" Ito Cheng chuckled.

"Yes." Asamiya Athena breathed softly and smiled.

"Do you want to go to the King of Fighters tournament?" Shige Ito asked in confusion.

"Yeah." Asamiya Athena, who couldn't say she was going to compete, laughed awkwardly and responded softly.

"Okay. There's nothing wrong with it. It just so happens that there hasn't been any publicity work that requires your cooperation during this period of time. I promised you your vacation." Ito Cheng decided happily.

"Thank you, Mr. Ito." Athena Asamiya was happy when she heard this, and she quickly bowed and thanked her.

"By the way, where will this King of Fighters tournament be held? I just happened to go there to take a look." Just when Asamiya Athena relaxed, Ito Cheng said again.

"Um... It seems to be on the high seas. The details are not specified." Athena's face stiffened and she hesitated.

"Then how did you get there?" Ito Cheng asked with a strange look on his face.

"I went with my friend. He seemed to know how to get there." To make up for a lie. Athena couldn't help but cover up with another lie.

"That's it... forget it. I'm going to ask Shiranui Mai and King. I think with their status, they should know the specific location of the conference." Ito Cheng nodded slightly and said casually.

Athena laughed dryly. No answer.

"Okay. You go. Remember to have fun." Ito Cheng looked at Asamiya Athena with a smile on his face and said.

"Then I'm leaving, Mr. Ito." Athena saluted.

"Yes, go." Ito Cheng nodded in agreement.

Athena got permission and turned around. Walked outside the office. But just when she was about to go out, Ito Cheng's voice sounded again, calling her and saying, "Oh, by the way, please help me call Miss Sharmi over."

"Okay." Athena agreed. Then he slowly walked out of the office, gently closed the door, and then disappeared as the footsteps gradually faded away.

About ten minutes later, there was another knock on the door.

"Come in." Ito Cheng said loudly.

"Yeah."

Sharmi opened the door and walked in.

"What do you want from me?" Charmie asked bluntly.

"The King of Fighters Tournament has begun. Do you want to join us?" Ito asked with a smile.

"Huh? Not interested." Charmi first looked at Ito Cheng doubtfully, and then refused without hesitation.

Ito was stunned, and then he figured it out. Although Sharmi has the strength of a fighter, she is not aggressive when she has not awakened as an eight-episode hero. She can even be said to be comfortable. In the original work, if she had not formed a trio with Qijiashe and Chris His band had conflicts with Yagami's band at some concerts. If he didn't feel unhappy with Shikakasha's decision, he might not appear at the 97 concert, so it was natural for him to reject his proposal.

"Since you don't dare to be interested, then forget it." Ito Cheng said with an indifferent shrug.

"It's you, why are you suddenly interested in participating in that kind of competition?" Charmi asked curiously.

"It's nothing, I just feel a little bored recently and want to find excitement and sweat the sweat of youth." Ito Cheng joked with a weird expression.

Charmi was speechless and ignored him.

"Okay, I'm going to ask others." Ito Cheng said.

"Then I wish you good luck." Charmi raised his right hand slightly, kissed it softly in front of his mouth, then spread it flat and blew it towards Ito Cheng like a blowing kiss, and chuckled.

Ito Cheng stretched out his hand in cooperation, as if he really caught something, moved his hand in front of him, put it on his mouth and kissed it, then said with an intoxicated smile, "With this victory kiss of yours, I want to It’s hard not to get good grades.”

"Then I will wait patiently for your good news." Sharmi smiled.

Then Sharmi chatted with Ito for a few more words, then turned around and left the office.

Watching Charmi leave, Ito Cheng smiled softly, turned over his hands and took out a mobile phone. While twisting his body to rotate the chair under him, facing the window, he called up a set of numbers and dialed them.

"Beep...beep..."

"Yeah."

"Hello." A cold female voice came from the mobile phone.

"Hello, Mary, I'm Ito Cheng." Ito Cheng said softly.

"What's the matter?" Mary said a little impatiently.

"The King of Fighters Tournament has begun. Are you interested in forming a team with me and participating together?" Ito Cheng smiled.

"..." Mary was silent and did not refuse immediately.

"This is an opportunity to test the extent of your strength, and at the same time, it is also a preview of your upcoming revenge. How about it?" Ito Cheng smiled softly. Said again.

"Okay." Mary responded with determination in her tone.

"You are responsible for the invitation, and call me when everyone is here." Then, before Ito Cheng could speak, Mary said again.

After saying that, he also planned to not speak to Ito Cheng and directly cut off the phone contact.

"It's really a push of two, six, five." Looking at the mobile phone with a busy tone of 'beep', Ito said helplessly.

Then he stood up, put away his cell phone, disappeared from the office, and appeared directly in the underground parking lot of the building where the company was located. Find your car. Opening the door, he stooped and sat in.

"Buzz."

The next moment, the roar of an engine echoed in the parking lot, and then a black luxury car rushed out of the parking lot at an extremely high speed.

…

"Crunch. Crunch..."

Accompanied by a gentle crushing sound. The dark limousine parked outside a dojo.

Ito Cheng opened the car door. Got out of the car.

"Todo-ryu White Tiger Dojo."

On the wide wooden board hanging vertically on the wall to the left of the large wooden door, several large characters written in black ink instantly caught Ito Cheng's eyes.

"It seems that I found the right place." Ito Cheng, who looked at the writing on the card, chuckled and then took steps. Passed through the gate and walked into the dojo.

"drink!"

"ha!"

A cold and monotonous shout came from the dojo.

Ito Cheng moved lightly and walked towards the direction of the sound. Soon after, a huge, empty Taoist room appeared in front of him. A man was about 1.55 meters tall, wearing a dark blue crotch and a white Taoist uniform. His black hair was simply tied behind his head. A girl with a high ponytail and a red stripe on her forehead, who was working hard in the dojo practicing moves similar to Aikido but different from ordinary Aikido movements, came into Ito Cheng's eyes.

"This should be Todo Kasumi." Ito Cheng thought to himself.

Seeing this, Ito Cheng didn't bother him, and stood quietly aside, watching the female high school student who looked like Toudo Kasumi concentrate on practicing her movements. It wasn't until a moment later that he pressed his hands down in front of him, like breathing in internal energy, and exhaled a long breath.

"call."

"Who are you?" After a moment, Todo Kasumi, who reopened his eyes, suddenly turned his head to look at Ito Cheng who was standing at the door and asked.

"Hello, Kasumi Todo, I am Ito Cheng. It's our first time meeting you. I'm sorry." Ito Cheng smiled.

"Do you know me?" Todo Kasumi frowned and asked.

"Yes, because the purpose of my coming here this time is to meet you." Ito Cheng smiled.

"What do you want from me?" Todo Kasumi asked in a deep voice with a look of caution on his face.

"I wonder, Miss Todo, have you ever heard of the King of Fighters Conference?" Ito Cheng didn't care and asked.

Todo Kasumi didn't speak, but from the slight expression on her face, Ito Cheng knew that she had heard about it.

"The purpose of my coming here is very simple. I want to invite you, Miss Todo, to form a team with me to participate in this year's King of Fighters Tournament and meet the world's fighting masters." Ito Cheng stated, but when he mentioned meeting the world's masters When he said this, a proud look appeared on his face.

Todo Kasumi frowned, his eyes became uncertain and hesitant on his face. Obviously, she was excited about participating in the King of Fighters tournament, but she was hesitant for some unknown reason and could not agree immediately.

But soon, Todo Kasumi's expression became determined, and she looked at Ito Cheng seriously and said, "You can form a team with me, but you must fight with me and show enough strength to be recognized by me, otherwise I won't I will form a team with you to compete."

"Of course." Ito Cheng smiled.

Then Ito Cheng took off his shoes, stepped on the floor of the dojo, and walked towards Toudo Kasumi until the two stood three meters apart from each other, confronting Toudo Kasumi.

Kasumi Toudo took a deep breath, squatted slightly, put his hands in front of his chest in front of him, and formed a basic hand-holding stand in Aikido. But on the contrary, Ito Cheng stood there casually and flamboyantly, making the first offensive or defensive move without any martial arts.

"Are you looking down on me?" Todo Kasumi shouted with an angry look on his face.

"No, this is my starting point." Ito Cheng shook his head slightly and said with a smile.

"Ha, okay, since you said that, I won't be polite!" Todo Kasumi laughed angrily when he heard this, and while shouting, he quickly stepped across the distance between the two people and came to Ito Cheng, with a palm gesture Tuo hit him on the chin.

Ito Cheng dodged, moved sideways to Toudo Kasumi, and lightly kicked his feet, landing on Toudo Kasumi's supporting feet.

"boom."

Kasumi Todo, whose soles slipped, immediately fell to one knee on the ground, with a look of pain on his face. But immediately after, Toudo Kasumi bit his silver teeth, rolled away from Ito, and squatted down next to him again.

Todo Kasumi raised his hands high, and then brought them down fiercely.

In an instant, a powerful aura burst out from Toudo Kasumi's body, and then energy spikes like moon blades rose from the ground, stood upright, and slashed at Ito Cheng.

Ito Cheng stepped back lightly, retreated calmly, almost grazing the edge of the energy blade, and dodged Toudo Kasumi's attack.

Then, Ito Cheng kicked his foot, and instantly appeared in front of Toudo Kasumi, who was temporarily frozen due to the energy attack, and kicked her in the chin. But just when she was about to close her eyes and bear the blow, Ito Cheng's kick suddenly stopped, and the tip of her toe hit Toudo Kasumi's chin.

Kasumi Toudo, who had not felt the pain for a long time, opened his eyes and saw the big feet wearing white socks in front of him, and he instantly understood why.

The other party kept his hand.

Todo Kasumi looked up at Ito Shige who was still kicking with a complicated face, then stepped back and stood up, bowed and said, "Thank you for your mercy, I lost."

"So, Miss Kasumi, are you willing to join my team to participate in the King of Fighters Tournament?" Ito Cheng said with a chuckle as he retracted the soles of his feet.

"It's an honor." Kasumi Toudo didn't notice the change of title given to her by Ito and replied with a normal look.

"Then get ready. In three days, we will gather and set off." Ito Cheng, who received a positive reply, smiled slightly and arranged.

"Okay." Todo Kasumi agreed.

Afterwards, Ito Cheng chatted with Toudo Kasumi for a few more words, then said goodbye and sat back in the car, started the car, and returned to his villa in the suburbs of Tokyo.

"The only thing left now is an invitation letter." On the way, Ito Cheng couldn't help but think, and then recalled the information about the teams of The King of Fighters 95 and other messy things in his mind.

"It's just them, what about the American New Athletes Team!" After a moment, Ito Cheng decided.

Now that he had made his decision, Ito Cheng did not hesitate, so after half a day, Ito Cheng's figure appeared on the streets of New York, USA, and moved towards the black living area.

He remembered that one of the guys who played basketball, named Rocky Guloba, lived in that neighborhood and played street basketball. As for the other two people, although one is also black, he has little assets because he is a boxer and does not live in a black area. The other is an out-and-out white American, and he is also an athlete who plays rugby, an American popular sport. , his family is also very wealthy, he is considered a small middle class, and he is not in the slums either. It is much harder to find them than to find Rocky! (To be continued...)
