King Lili is the child king of Tangra who befriends Jade Chan when Jackie is assigned to bodyguard him during his stay in San Francisco.
History[]
Captain Black assigns Jackie to watch over King Lili as he tours San Francisco on business. While Lili wishes to explore the city and all its wonders, his royal tutor Chaktar reminds him of his royal duties. During his ceremony at city hall, Lili is attacked by a couple of men who Jackie (with Jade's assistance) manages to drive off. For his own safety, Lili is then confined to his chamber for 4 hours. He shortly meets Jade, who was secretly tagging along with them using the Snake Talisman. Jade then lets him see it, but he uses it to escape his chamber undetected to go sight-seeing.
Now that King Lili has "pulled a Jade", Jade runs after him and quickly uncovers his location on board one of the city's cable cars by splashing soda on him. Jade forces the Talisman off him and Lili tells her how he, as the king, is unable to enjoy himself like normal kids do. Jade then takes Lili on the "J-Line Tour" where the two go off to play in a playground, play basketball, visit the Golden Gate Bridge before finally playing baseball at Bay View Stadium.
Jackie and Chaktar then arrive after being alerted about the King's disappearance, but he is promptly kidnapped by men intending to use him in a ransom plan to acquire Tangra's crown jewels. As Chaktar departs for the exchange with the jewels in hand, Jade notices a tattoo at the back of his neck which resembles the serpent tattoos worn by the kidnappers, and disrupts the trade between him and the kidnappers. However, it is revealed that Chaktar's tattoo is actually of a monkey and is not related to the kidnappers. It was in fact one of Lili's other subjects that had been working against him in the hopes of pawning the crown jewels, using the funds to train an elite fighting team and takeover the kingdom. Jade uses the Snake Talisman to take out one of Lili's kidnappers, and Lili convinces the other that he has mental powers which makes him flee in terror. Jackie then defeats the traitorous one. Jackie and Jade are later awarded the Star of Tangra for their heroism, while Jade and Lili agree to visit each other in the future.
