Actually, I'm Quite a Fighter Too

The cough made the two women fighting in the room look at Li Ke.

Seeing that it was Li Ke, Jinx's beautiful big blue eyes lit up, emitting a pleasing glow. But surprisingly, the little lunatic immediately calmed down.

"Get lost! Idiot!" Jinx cursed at Li Ke.

Li Ke: ???

I came to help, why is she cursing at me?

Jinx's actions weren't without reason.

Lacking a sense of security, her first instinct upon seeing Li Ke was to ask him for help. But Jinx quickly remembered Li Ke's capabilities. Him, Li Ke, going to fight Big Sister?

Ha, forget it.

Although she had only known Li Ke for a week, they were childhood friends. Jinx wouldn't say she cared about Li Ke immensely, but it had to be said, Li Ke did occupy a small space in her heart.

Her heart wasn't large; ninety percent of it was occupied by a pink-haired girl. That person was her entire world.

The remaining ten percent didn't belong to Li Ke either; it belonged to Silco. But it had to be said, during the time they spent together, Li Ke had been using a small shovel to carve out a space for himself in Jinx's heart.

Because of this, she didn't not care about Li Ke.

She was paranoid and crazy, but that didn't mean she had truly lost her mind.

She just desperately lacked a sense of identity and security, needing others' attention and validation.

Li Ke happened to give her this feeling. Although he never said it, Jinx knew she had many flaws. Many people had told her so: Milo, Vander, Vi, Silco. They had all found her annoying, a nuisance.

But Li Ke never had.

Even though she had been bothering Li Ke constantly during this time, restless even in her sleep, Li Ke had never found her annoying.

This made Jinx find a trace of Vi in Li Ke. This feeling healed her shattered heart and made her feel safe.

To put it plainly, she needed to be doted on.

Before, Jinx would always hear Milo's grating voice. But during this time spent with Li Ke, Jinx no longer heard that unpleasant, grating sound.

Therefore, Jinx didn't want Li Ke to die.

Whether you call it caring about Li Ke, not wanting to admit she was a jinx who would kill those around her, or a drowning person grabbing the last straw.

She did not want Li Ke to die.

"Get lost." Seeing Li Ke, Sevika said coldly.

To Sevika, this sudden appearance posed no threat.

She had no weapons, looked very frail, and didn't have any tattoos.

What threat could an ordinary Zaunite pose to her?

Seeing that Li Ke wasn't leaving, Sevika didn't waste time. She restrained Jinx with her mechanical arm, and quickly reached for her waist with her other hand. Sevika drew her pistol and aimed it at Li Ke, preparing to fire.

"Sister Sevika," Li Ke said softly.

"..."

"Li Ke?" Hearing Li Ke's voice, Sevika froze. She looked at Li Ke's face and his black hair, then blurted out instinctively.

"It's me, big sister," Li Ke nodded.

He was a child of Black Alley, and a child of Vander. The orphans of Black Alley were basically protected by Vander, which was why Li Ke naturally had contact with Sevika.

Because he was around the same age as Vi and was a boy, young Li Ke had run errands for Sevika. He and Malson's group of kids had also been close to Sevika.

"Why are you here?" Sevika lowered her gun-holding hand.

Seeing this, Jinx seized the opportunity. She raised her leg, aiming her knee at Sevika, but Sevika simply shoved her elbow forward. Her mechanical elbow twisted and struck Jinx hard in the abdomen.

"Ugh—"

Spitting up bile, Jinx coughed violently.

"Big sister, can't we just talk properly?" Li Ke said, rubbing his hair.

Li Ke truly liked this character who had many significant moments in the show. In his childhood memories, Sevika had been very good to Li Ke and Malson's group of kids.

Although it was strange, Sevika clearly disliked Jinx and Vi staying with Vander, yet she was very good to Li Ke and Malson.

Even though she was strict and spoke harshly, and had even hit Li Ke and Malson, she had genuinely looked after them.

Sometimes, Sevika would even give the children extra rewards for running errands. In Li Ke's heart, if Vander was a loving father, then Sevika was a stern elder sister.

Furthermore, in the later parts of the show. Sevika and Jinx's relationship, how to put it, Li Ke felt it was like a personal maid and a fallen gangster's daughter?

And Li Ke suddenly felt that perhaps Sevika disliked Vi and Jinx because she thought they had made Vander weak?

After all, in Sevika's heart, Zaun's dignity was more important than anything.

"This is not something you should meddle in. Get lost immediately, and I'll pretend I never saw you," Sevika said to Li Ke.

Her expression was calm, her tone icy.

"Can you let Jinx go first?"

"You already know her name is Jinx?" Sevika was taken aback, then looked at Jinx. "I see. So you've been with Li Ke all these days?"

"What, this isn't okay? Why do you have to butt into everything? Are you some kind of fucking busybody? Silco told you to handle it, so you'll just handle it?" Jinx endured the pain, drool trickling from her lips as she yelled at Sevika.

"Do you know you're going to harm him by doing this?" Sevika's tone grew colder.

"Bullshit! I didn't do anything!" Jinx retorted.

Here it comes, like this again!

Calling me a jinx again!

"Six Enforcers died in the Upper City, and you left your graffiti and grenades at the scene. They're looking for you, and you still say you're not harming Li Ke."

"I, they can't find me!"

"Sister," Li Ke spoke up.

"Are you not listening to me anymore?" Sevika turned her head to look at Li Ke and said, "Li Ke, have you gotten capable now?"

"Have you forgotten how I used to teach you a lesson?"

"I'll say it again, leave here, Li Ke. This isn't something you can get involved in. You don't belong with us."

Sevika raised her right hand and punched Jinx hard in the stomach with eight-tenths of her strength, causing Jinx to curl up like a shrimp and collapse onto the ground.

Then, she turned and walked towards Li Ke.

"After thinking about it, I'll just throw you out myself."

Li Ke glanced at his Attribute Panel, then thought about the tests he had privately conducted on his body.

Then, he looked at Sevika and said with a smile.

"Sister, there's something I need to tell you now."

Sevika walked towards Li Ke, wiping her fist. Upon hearing him, she asked, "What?"

Li Ke looked at Sevika and opened his mouth:

"Actually."

His body suddenly vanished from his spot, and Li Ke lunged at Sevika, his speed so fast that the human eye could barely follow. His fist was already smashing towards Sevika's chest.

"I'm also very good at fighting."
