Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 51 Valkyrie
"Huh?! Wait—wait a minute!?"

"The match is over! A knockout! A knockout!!! Hina ended the match with just two punches!!"

The commentator almost didn't have time to react.

Then came wave after wave of cheers from the audience for Hime.

Clearly, such an "aesthetically pleasing" yet "extremely violent" competition is exactly the kind of underground women's fighting they admire, something that cannot be seen in a formal ring.

Meanwhile, Pegasus Nozomi and others watching from the sidelines were also shocked by what had just happened.

Li Youba stood upright with his hands behind his back, his eyes slightly narrowed. "That woman named Momose Miyo is not someone you can easily defeat. You've really found a formidable opponent."

"...Indeed impressive."

Tenma's pupils contracted, and he murmured, "Although I knew that Hina was different from others, she's actually this strong. It might be hard to find a suitable opponent in the future..."

Li Youba confidently declared, "I don't care—I'm ready to fight anytime!"

Clearly, the match had piqued her interest.

Hope breathed a slight sigh of relief, "Haha, then I'll leave it to you."

Yi Hua, who was standing next to him, added, "Don't worry, I'll help recruit contestants too. There are a lot of dangerous guys in the Metropolitan Police Department's files."

"—And then!"

Yi Hua held a few "prize tickets" between his fingers and waved them in front of everyone. "We've really reaped a lot from this competition!"

Seeing that Bai Mucheng was tilting his head to observe, Yi Hua simply explained it to him.

"Brother Bai Mu, you've never played pachinko before, have you? The principle is the same."

“We prepared a batch of ‘lottery tickets’ in advance, with denominations of 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000 yuan. We just came up with some random names, but let’s call them ‘V-currency’ for now.”

"We will let viewers buy V-currency and use it to place bets."

"Since they are just lottery tickets, these V-currencies have no value—therefore they are not considered cash gambling."

"However, we will also contact 'second-hand dealers' so that viewers can sell their V-currency as collectibles and get cash back."

Yi Hua put his arm around Bai Mucheng's shoulder and said with a sly smile, "With such a back and forth, it has transformed from an illegal black industry into an ambiguous underground gray industry."

"Besides, I've already made arrangements with the Metropolitan Police Department, so the cops won't bother us!"

He himself is a policeman, yet he refers to the police as "cops"—only this "Iori Kazuka" could do such a thing.

"In short, tonight was a great success!"

Hana clapped her hands and looked around, saying, "Strange, where's Himeko? Hasn't she left the stage yet?"

"..."

Everyone turned to look and found that Hina Hongo was still on the stage, and had just taken the commentator's microphone.

What is she going to do?
"...Hello! Hello?"

Ji Nai did a quick sound check, then held the microphone and made a victory sign with her other hand.

"Yay—the revolution is a great success!"

"I'm Hina Hongo. Did the audience enjoy the show?"

These words reignited the audience's emotions, and the atmosphere became lively once again.

Upon seeing this, Hope and the others were puzzled, wondering what kind of impromptu performance Ji Nai was going to put on.

Who knew what would happen next—

Suddenly, Ji Nai pulled a large bundle of cash out of her bag, held it high in her hand, and showed it to the audience.

Five million yuan—that's the money I saved.

"Whoever can beat me will get five million yuan. Everyone is welcome to take on the challenge~☆!"

The entire room fell silent for a moment, then erupted into agitation.

"Haha, she really dares to say that!"

"This new group has a good storyline, and the contestants are talented enough. It's going to be interesting to watch!"

"A newcomer? Who is she?" "I can't wait!"

"..."

For a moment, the entire venue was filled with noise, the atmosphere was as hot as boiling water, and it even drowned out the sound of the microphone.

Tianma felt a chill run down his spine. "What is that idiot doing?!"

Yi Hua also sighed, "Ugh, I hope they don't cause any trouble..."

Hana was the only one who was more optimistic. She analyzed seriously, "This might not be so bad? After all, even large groups in the underground fighting world might not be able to offer an appearance fee of five million."

"If a small group like ours could have such a high bonus, it would surely attract a lot of talented people, wouldn't it?"

"For example--"

Hana stepped aside to show everyone Li Youba, whose eyes were shining. "Little Youba looks so excited!"

Li Youba couldn't suppress a smile and said, "Of course, after all, I really need 'money'..."

This unexpected five million yuan bonus was a pleasant surprise for Li Youba, who couldn't help but feel that he had come to the right place.

"Although it is just a newly established small group, it does have the potential to grow bigger and stronger."

As a veteran in the industry, Li Youba was generous with his praise.

"You have all the conditions to make big money."

"Hana is a 'rule-abiding yakuza,' Ichika is a 'rule-breaking yakuza,' and I hope you have a 'mind that can study rules.'"

"Although Brother Shiraki is only a behind-the-scenes collaborator, he also has the ability to influence and set the rules."

"Oh right, save me a membership spot at Shiraki's fighting center, even though I don't have much money to pay the membership fee right now..."

These words clearly explained the team's strengths and made everyone a little embarrassed by the praise.

"By the way," Li Youba tilted his head and asked, "what do you plan to call this underground fighting group?"

"Valkyrie."

Pegasus hoped to answer, "—It means 'Valkyrie,' and for now, we'll focus on underground fighting for women first, and develop it further."

Hana clasped her hands together and smiled, "Haha, this is really something to look forward to!"

"Alright, everyone's almost done leaving, right? Let's call it a night!"

Yi Hua put his arm around Hope's neck, raised his hand and laughed, "To celebrate the establishment of 'Valkyrie' and the successful closing of the opening performance, we're going to have a celebration party! Everyone who wants to come, come on over!"

"Hey Shiraki-kun, why don't you ask Arisa and Maruk if they're coming? Tomorrow's a day off anyway, it'll be more fun with more people!"

"..."

Everyone chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant.

Shiraki nodded, about to find a place to call home, when he turned his head and suddenly saw a member of the Yakuza group wearing a striped suit slowly walking to the sound equipment.

click!
The other party simply unplugged the speaker.

Everyone's attention was instantly drawn to the yakuza member.

In an instant, everyone came to a conclusion—

He wasn't there to "simply cause trouble".

Or rather, his demeanor is different from that of ordinary thugs; he is a true "gangster," and his confidence is clearly greater than that of Miyako Kana.

"Nice to meet you all. I apologize for interrupting your enjoyment."

The yakuza member slowly stepped forward and introduced himself:

“My name is ‘Kizaki’, and I am a member of the Fujiki Group’s Hanayama Group.”

The man named "Kizaki" scratched his head in a distressed manner, speaking in a very polite tone, yet leaving no room for negotiation.

"I have a favor to ask of you all—"

"These are turbulent times, so could you please shut down all those newly formed groups of yours?"
