Rise of an Empire

"Kagura Chizuru, Kagura Mangui, have met my uncle."

Conrad didn't even react when he saw the twins appearing in front of him.

The last time he went to Japan was more than ten years ago. Later, because he was stuck in the Garden of the Gods and had too many chores, he didn't go there for a long time.

So in his impression, the twins of the Kagura family still looked like six or seven-year-old little lolita. It was really uncomfortable to see two tall and graceful girls all of a sudden.

Fortunately, the Duke had never seen any storms, and he came back to his senses in just a short moment.

"You two are here, is Chiharu here?"

"Ama needs to be stationed at the shrine, so she can't come," the twins said in unison.

For some reason, Conrad seemed to hear a hint of resentment from the two people's mouths.

Kagura Chiharu has been looking at Mount Fuji these years, waiting for Conrad to find her and renew their relationship, but the Duke, who has many noble people and many things to do, can never remember her.

There was nothing he could do about it. Too many women were such a problem. If he hadn't come to his door, he would have almost forgotten about it.

The three of them are currently in the desert of Arizona, USA, which is also the general venue of the KOF Fighting Competition.

Originally, according to Conrad's idea, he was going to find two islands in the middle of the Pacific Ocean as the venue. Anyway, with so many islands under his name, he could always find a suitable one.

But after thinking about it later, he gave up that idea.

After all, God knows what level of abilities the final participants in the competition have. If they sunk the venue in vain, it would be a joke.

Secondly, there are a total of 400 people participating in the finals this time. The food, drink and urination of these people is a big problem. In addition, there are dignitaries from various countries who will come to watch the finals and a large number of people and staff. If the venue is determined On a remote island, God knows how much manpower and material resources are needed for logistical transportation.

Although he is never short of money, he doesn't waste it like this, right?

So after a little thought, Conrad decided to set the main venue in the desert of the western United States.

The Arizona Desert covers an area of ​​nearly one million square kilometers, which is much larger than most countries in the world. Under the current circumstances, there is absolutely no one on earth who can destroy such a large area.

The U.S. government likes to study various new weapons here when it has nothing to do. It has exploded countless nuclear weapons. Anyway, the desert is just for tossing around.

What was supposed to be a dead desert is now filled with unusual prosperity. A temporary city has sprung up like mushrooms after rain. It may be difficult to completely transform the desert into an oasis with modern technology, but if you want to be in the center of the desert, Building a small town is easy.

The contestants participating in the finals rushed over one after another. Anyway, the Weiting Consortium was very wealthy and reimbursed all their travel expenses, so they didn't take advantage of the bastard.

What's more, the prize money for the top eight must be cashed here, so every one counts. So far, I haven't heard of any player giving up their qualifications and not participating in the finals.

Kagura Chizuru and Kagura Mangame, as the top eight in the Japan East Division, had already taken a flight to this small town in the center of the desert last night.

The Duke has always been a noble man and has many things to do, but at least these two little girls have some connections with him, so today he thought of calling them to meet him.

"You've all grown so big in the blink of an eye."

Although the twins had some grievances against the uncle they had not seen for more than ten years, Conrad's current thick-skinned nature could not be defeated by the two of them.

Besides, even the Duke almost forgot that there was a woman waiting for him on the top of Mount Fuji thousands of miles away, but those under his command still firmly remembered his instructions back then and would give him a sum of money every festival. A great gift goes to Asakusa Shrine.

Therefore, although the twins were a little annoyed with Uncle Wei Ting, they also had some expectations.

"Uncle, you haven't come to see us for fifteen years. You promised to go back in three or four years."

Kagura Chizuru pouted and said in a petulant manner
