When bouncers weren't needed, Paul built his legendary rep by taking part in street fights. It wasn't much with money, but he made the most profit as he could. That still didn't extinguished his frustration for not making it to the rematch against Kazuya Mishima, who disappeared without the trace when Heihachi Mishima returned and reclaimed the Mishima Zaibatsu.
Speaking of which. The evidence gathered by Lei Wulong still weren't enough for thorough investigation of Mishima Zaibatsu by the Interpol.

With the training session now being over, Jun warns Jin about his origin and incoming danger, and if something will happen to her, he must seek his grandfather - Heihachi Mishima.

Jun's dread came true. Ogre invades their forest clearly with ill intentions.
When Jin has come to his consciousness, he discovers his burning house crumbled to the ashes. Jin desperately look through if his mother is alive, but to no avail. She was gone, without any trace and most likely dead.
Heeding Jun's request, Jin leaves Yakushima and heads toward Mishima Zaibatsu. Where he'll find Heihachi Mishima.
The Mexican orphanage has lost their breadwinner when King died. His colleague and helper figures, that without the fundings, everything King worked so hard for would crumble in ruin.

Figuring out Ogre's aim. Heihachi builds up his plan for apprehension of the green creature.
The following King of Iron Fist Tournament 3 will happen in some non-public place. Where Ogre prefers to strike. But just to be safe for his image, Heihachi will prepare the prize money in case the challenger wins the finals.
Fighters brave or foolish enough to remain might attempt to battle Ogre when arrives, and when Heihachi will deliver final blow the deity's power will belong to him.
The plan however will have to be postponed due to dearth of capable combatants.
Jin Kazama's arrival inspires Heihachi that if he cant find fighters he'll make them.

Police apprehend as much people as they could. And among them was Jin Kazama (he didn't put a fight, as he knew the consequences for resisting the arrest.)
Hwoarang was rebellious and put down a lot of cops. Lei Wulong however was out of his league and arrests the orange haired.
Heihachi visits his grandson at the Korean Police Department, asking what happened. Jin explains everything to the detail about the fight.
Heihachi leaves the visitors room and soon after returns with Lei Wulong, whom he personally invited to the upcoming King of Iron Fist Tournament 3, starting August 5th at Jin's 19th birthday. Hwoarang also receives an invitation and vows to Jin, that he'll beat him at the tournament since there won't be ANY interference.
King vs Slam Champion
Hard work, blood, sweat, tears and Armor King's teachings later, the loosing streak gets broken and outweighed by victories.
Neo King now does his predecessor's moves properly, flattening his opponent to the floor. Having won the match King becomes the new World Heavyweight Slam Champion.
When he discovers the absence of Armor King by his ringside, he rushes out of the arena toward master's locker room. And When King finds the Black Jaguar, latter passes him an invitation for the King of Iron Fist Tournament 3.
Armor King expressed how proud he was of King and wishes him continuous championship reign and strength to keep the orphanage in one piece.
Now that the training was completed. Armor King says that he'll be waiting for him at the Arizona for the upcoming match after the tournament.
Whew Lot's of fights, had to rewrite chronology multiple times, plus had to move to the other country, and the 3rd part is yet to be finished.
