Three Sacred Treasures Bloodline Acquired

"Kid, you've gotten rather bold. Your true intention is to exchange information for the blood of our Three Sacred Treasures family, isn't it?" Goenitz stroked his beard.

Nathan Hawke stated directly, "If you don't agree, I'll go find Kagura Chizuru, and she will agree. As for why I'm coming to you, it's because I heard the Kusanagi clan is short on money right now, and I can help you find Kagura Chizuru. It's a win-win-win situation, so why refuse?"

"Hmph. Kid, although the Kusanagi clan has fallen on hard times, my Kusanagi clan's Kusanagi Style Ancient Martial Arts has not declined." Goenitz stood up, and a majestic, burning aura slowly emanated from him.

"So, is that a yes?" Nathan Hawke nodded, then, according to the past plot, he said, "The first piece of information: the mysterious person who fought Kyo Kusanagi is Storm Giamat, one of the Hakkeshu with the Orochi bloodline."

"This name?" Goenitz frowned, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

"Rugal. Rugal was once defeated by Giamat," Nathan Hawke replied.

Goenitz's eyes widened instantly. "So that's how it is. When Rugal went berserk, the Orochi blood within him came from this."

Then, Goenitz gave Nathan Hawke a deep look. "I agree, but I don't know if Kagura Chizuru can handle Iori Yagami. You can stay here for a few days."

"No problem at all," Nathan Hawke replied cheerfully.

Did you not see the power of Nest Organization's cloned Kyo Kusanagi army after they obtained Kyo Kusanagi's blood?

For Umbrella Corporation, for Wesker who stored Umbrella Corporation's knowledge, the technology for cloning had always been stored in his mind.

However, appearances can be deceiving. Wesker had not yet given a definitive answer to the researchers he had recruited and brought in.

Compared to Biological Weapons, the taboo factors of cloning were more complex and shocking. This had made Nathan Hawke hesitate.

If possible, Nathan Hawke wanted to obtain all the bloodlines of the Hakkeshu, but it was all too difficult.

Several days passed.

Shingo Yabuki walked to the training ground of Kusanagi Castle and looked at Electro. He then said to Nathan Hawke, "Hello. The senior and Miss Kagura are in the conference room and would like Mr. Hawke to come over."

"Understood. Thank you for your trouble." Shingo Yabuki shyly scratched his head in response to Nathan Hawke's kind greeting.

The conference room in Kusanagi Castle, or rather, a room.

"You are Nathan Hawke?" Kagura Chizuru looked at Nathan Hawke and Electro beside him.

"Yes," Nathan Hawke nodded.

"I heard about you from Master Chin Genzai, so I've decided on this transaction." Kagura Chizuru picked up a box from the side and opened it.

"Three tubes of blood, representing the bloodlines of the Three Sacred Treasures group," Kagura Chizuru said.

"May I know who the three tubes of blood are from?" Nathan Hawke asked.

"Mine, Senior Kusanagi's, and Iori Yagami's," Kagura Chizuru replied.

Goenitz immediately said, "Kid, my blood is much more potent than my son's. Besides, he's not here, so be content."

"Okay." Even without Kyo Kusanagi's blood, Nathan Hawke felt this trip was very profitable. Although Nathan Hawke's idea was to use the blood of the Three Sacred Treasures to create a character similar to "K" using cloning technology, it should be possible with Goenitz's blood.

Nathan Hawke did not take the box on the table but instead explained the information he knew.

"Let me tell you about the Hakkeshu first."

Wind: The ability to control wind. (Giamat)

Earth: The ability to govern the earth. (Yashiro Nanakase)

Lightning: The ability to control lightning. (Shermie)

Flame: The ability to control blue-flame. (Chris)

Fang: The ability to deliver a fatal blow to enemies. (Gaidel)

Darkness: Bloodthirsty killing. (Yamazaki Ryuji)

Beast: Agility beyond human imagination. (Mature)

Death: Great arm strength, the direct manifestation of Orochi's power. (Vice)

Kagura Chizuru couldn't help but nod. "I know Yamazaki Ryuji. Are the Hell Band members also part of the Hakkeshu?"

"Indeed. You know them, Miss Kagura. Yes, they are also part of the Hakkeshu. Gaidel is dead, and his biological daughter Leona inherited his Orochi power."

"Leona! You mean Leona from the Ikari Team!" Kagura Chizuru exclaimed.

"That's right."

"So, their objective?" Goenitz asked, seemingly having an answer in mind.

"It's to be initiated by Storm Giamat. Your elder sister was killed by Giamat. You should know this already," Nathan Hawke said, observing their reactions.

"Yes, the reason I'm holding the KOF Tournament this time is to lure them out," Kagura Chizuru admitted.

"Giamat intends to kill the descendants of your Three Sacred Treasures family in the final championship match – Kyo Kusanagi, Iori Yagami, and you, Miss Kagura. At the same time, he will defeat or kill the other fighters present, causing them to generate negative emotions, thereby further weakening Orochi's seal."

"His strength?" Kagura Chizuru murmured.

"Iori Yagami and Kyo Kusanagi should have fought him before, and the result was that they were defeated. In a one-on-one fight, they are no match for Storm Giamat," Nathan Hawke said calmly.

"You know too much. Who exactly are you?" Goenitz couldn't help but ask.

Nathan Hawke smiled slightly. "Just someone passing through. Even if you don't believe me, you can believe Master Chin Genzai."

"Right." Nathan Hawke stood up and took the box.

"Here's another piece of information: Chris of the Hell Band is a backup vessel for Orochi's descent. He can wield some of the power after Orochi's descent. You should be wary of him. Furthermore, after awakening the Orochi bloodline, he controls the ability of 'Flame.' He can be considered a destined opponent for your Kusanagi clan."

Nathan Hawke left with the blood of the Three Sacred Treasures families.

"What did he say?" Goenitz looked at Kagura Chizuru beside him.

Kagura Chizuru nodded in affirmation, "It can be believed. The seal of Orochi has indeed loosened since my sister's death. If Chris of the Hell Band is indeed a backup vessel for Orochi's descent, then it's highly possible for him to descend. Although the power gap is huge compared to the main body, his destiny is here."

Kagura Chizuru didn't continue, while Goenitz looked worried.

The preliminary and elimination rounds of the KOF Tournament had concluded, with a total of 9 teams entering the main tournament.

They were: Protagonist Team, Fatal Fury Team, Art of Fighting Team, New Ikari Team, Psycho Soldier Team, New Female Fighters Team, Kim Team, Yagami Team, and BOSS Team.

Nathan Hawke, sitting in the stands, looked at the characters he used to control in his past life on the big screen, a nostalgic expression on his face.

At the same time, Nathan Hawke was waiting for someone.

"Phew, finally made it," Ryoma Sengoku sat down beside Nathan Hawke.

"How did it go?" Nathan Hawke asked.

"Just as you predicted, after joining Nest and working tirelessly for a month, I received an offer through someone from Igniz," Ryoma Sengoku said proudly.

"Is that so? It seems their rebellious intent was there from the start."

According to the plot, the original Nest Organization was named after Nests himself. He was a pacifist, and the Nest he led was initially a trading organization engaged in peaceful endeavors, possessing world-class scientific technology. Later, he was murdered by his only son, Igniz (who called himself the Creator of Life). Igniz completely transformed Nest into a vast military organization with influence all over the world, constantly preparing to conquer the world.

And in the shadows, it was said that Igniz noticed the KOF Tournament, the Hakkeshu, the Orochi bloodline, and "Orochi." He yearned to become a "god" even more divine than Orochi.

The "BrutalGodProject" was thus born.

Before this, many plans were also prepared, such as the "KYO Replication Project & KYO Clone Project" and the "ANTI·K' Project."

Igniz secretly carried out a division and recruitment, gradually transforming the trading organization into a military one.

And now, Ryoma Sengoku, a researcher, had caught Igniz's eye.

"What did I tell you?" Nathan Hawke asked.

"Go to Europe. After their people tested me, they found I was a suitable candidate and planned to take me to meet Igniz. They also promised me the leadership of a project, along with generous rewards and funding," Ryoma Sengoku said, then continued, "Regarding the three scientists you provided: Kalkov, Frey, and Dr. Keitz. I only met Dr. Keitz."

"Kalkov is the chief scientist of the Nest Organization, responsible for developing new technologies and weapons. He is a genius scientist dedicated to advancing the organization's scientific experiments and research. He is heavily guarded, and I don't even know where he is, so I can't meet him."

"As for Frey, one of the senior scientists in the Nest Organization, responsible for developing new technologies and weapons, and one of the researchers providing combat power to the organization. He has already accepted Igniz's invitation and has gone to Europe."

"Only Dr. Keitz is in Japan due to a business trip."

"Do you think you can get him to come with us?" Nathan Hawke asked.

"Yes. But have you really thought this through?" Ryoma Sengoku asked, as he had seen Nathan Hawke's inner turmoil before he left.

Nathan Hawke was indeed very conflicted at the time.

Because the person he wanted to take with him more was Storm Giamat.

After all, Nathan Hawke knew the plot's direction. Giamat would randomly appear after the finals, overpower the fighters, have a decisive battle with the Three Sacred Treasures families, and finally be defeated and commit suicide.

At this point, perhaps he could use "Talk no Jutsu" to persuade him.

But after careful consideration, Nathan Hawke dared not gamble.

After all, once the KOF Tournament ended, his remaining time in the KOF world would be limited. If he failed and Giamat died, it would be too difficult to find another "useful person" to take back.
