Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 79 Galo
Shiramu Cheng's eyes met the man's.

Both were very perceptive people. The man could see the influence of Shiraki Sei on Maruk, and Shiraki Sei also found the part about the man in his memory.

"His name is Jialuo!"

Suddenly, a hand reached out and rested on Bai Mucheng's shoulder.

Shiraki turned his head and found that it was Kaji Takaomi.

Previously, Takaomi Kaji had been following Shigeru Akagi, but after the gambling game at the upper level began, he left the reception room with everyone else.

He was panting heavily, clearly having run a long distance.

After this period of training, Kaji's logical thinking has improved significantly, and she can now explain the key points of the current situation in a simple way.

"Mr. Akagi and Sada Kuni's bet requires a special set of 'limited rock-paper-scissors' cards, which are only available in the lower levels."

"The side with more cards will have a greater advantage in the actual game."

"Therefore, after the 'collection phase' began, the bald guy from Sada's side and I started to take action and go down to the lower level to collect cards."

"..."

Bai Mucheng understood upon hearing this.

According to Wu Fengshui's observation, those mercenaries had infiltrated from an arms smuggling ship.

Judging by the timeline, their goal should not only be to obtain their own Kengan Association membership, but also to follow Sada Kuni's orders and assist the bald guy on his side in seizing the lower-level cards.

If the plan succeeds, not only will they gain control of the entire Espoowaru cruise ship, but they will also obtain membership in the Kengan Association and a sure-fire victory in the "Gambler's Game," achieving three goals at once.

However, the men in black, hired by Hyoudou Kazutaka, successfully thwarted the mercenaries' plan to take control of the Espoal.
Megukirou challenged Shiraki to a Kengan tournament but ultimately lost, and his plan to seize Kengan membership also failed.
Therefore, the only path left for Sada Kunio to take is to win in the gambling games!
"..."

Kaji Takaomi took a breath and leaned against Shiraki Shige to rest.

"To be honest, besides Maruk and me, Mr. Tapir also infiltrated this ship and found an ally."

“When the ‘collection phase’ began, I told Mr. Baku about the details of the bet, and the others started collecting cards on the lower level.”

"While Mr. Shiraki—you—broke into the lower hall, Mr. Baku and the others secretly slipped away with the cards, intending to meet up with me so that I could bring a large number of cards to the upper level and thus establish an advantage in the betting game."

"Although Mr. Akagi said that he doesn't care about 'advantages', in the end, you still need cards to gamble, just like the hand of a mahjong player. Even the best player needs to have cards."

"But just when everything was going smoothly, 'he' appeared..."

Kaji Takaomi swallowed hard, unable to resist hiding behind Shiraki Sei and secretly observing the man not far away.

“That guy with the ‘burned eye and afro’ – his name is Galo.”

"According to Mr. Mo, Gara was the gambling bro's original 'Notary Zero,' and might even have been the strongest among the notaries!"

"He used to be Mr. Tapir's partner, but later left Gambler."

Kaji Takaomi recalled what had just happened, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Now, Gara has become a bodyguard for an arms smuggler, who is helping Sada Kuni to seize the limited-edition rock-paper-scissors cards."

"Maruk tried to protect me and Mr. Tapir, but he kicked him away!"

"That guy is a complete monster..."

In the abandoned building, Takaomi Kaji had already witnessed Maruk's military prowess.

That's why Kaji Takaomi was even more terrified when Gara could easily suppress Maruk!

……

……

While Kaji Takaomi was explaining the current situation to Shiraki Shigeaki.

On the other side, Jialuo was also observing Baimu Cheng.

Years of real combat experience have made Galo particularly sensitive to killing intent, even able to detect sniper rifle fire from a distance, but he did not sense the slightest bit of it from Bai Mucheng.

This is very strange.

The man's fighting skills were passable, and he had just beaten up a gambling notary; the blood on the ground hadn't even dried yet.

How could someone who can go this far not have murderous intent?
……wrong.

Galo suddenly realized.

Unlike athletes who are unwilling to kill, Shiraki Sei did not resist the urge to kill;
Unlike the "sniper" on the cruise ship's observation deck, Shiramu Cheng did not simply intend to kill.

What he exudes is a fighting spirit that comes naturally.

That feeling also affects those around him, such as Rodham, the "killer of the abandoned building"—now he should be called Maruk.

"..."

"Maruk wants Uncle Akagi to win!" Maruk stared at Gara and said through gritted teeth:
"Brother Mo said that the bad guys are going to attack this city with missiles, but Maruk has so many friends here, so I don't want the bad guys to launch their missiles!"

"Brother Cheng, Sister Yusa, Brother Baku, Uncle Akagi... and many other people we ate barbecue with before!"

Maruk's breathing gradually stabilized.

Even though he could sense from Gara that "he might not be able to win," Maruk's eyes remained firm.

He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Maruk will no longer fear Rodem, because Maruk—I can now clearly feel my own existence!"

"Brother Cheng, please leave this battle to me!"

"..."

Hearing these naive and childish words, which even gave people goosebumps, Jialuo couldn't help but laugh.

Madarame Baku has really found an interesting fellow!
Galo looked at Shiramu Cheng again, who was shrugging helplessly at him, clearly intending to respect Maruk's choice.

Hmm, it's a little infuriating?

Gara's eyes darted around, noticing that Maruk had already started moving and was approaching him step by step.

"I'm determined to get the cards to the higher levels, and if you dare to interfere..."

I'll kick you!

Maruk leaped into the air and delivered a high kick.

Swish!
Galo had anticipated Maruk's move, and dodged to the side by sliding to the side, while simultaneously blocking Maruk's ankle with her palm.

As Maruk landed, Garo had already circled around to Maruk's back.

A strong sense of crisis welled up in his heart. Just as Maruk was about to turn around and throw a punch, Garo made the move first.

Snapped!
A precise low kick struck Maruk in the back of the knee, forcing Maruk to bend his legs and lose his balance.

"Ouch!"

Gara's expression was relaxed, as if he had foreseen everything and was manipulating Maruk at will.

Just before Maruk was about to kneel, Garo aimed at Maruk's head and kicked forward with a powerful front kick.

Swish!
Maruk leaned back to dodge, and in the process, he rolled over several times.

After he regained his footing, it was clearly visible to the naked eye that a small patch of skin on one side of Maruk's cheek had been scraped open by his leather shoes, with blood seeping from under the skin.

If Gara's kick had landed, Maruk's cervical spine would probably have been broken!
"..."

Maruk and Garo—their lightning-fast offense and defense could be concluded with just one glance.

This is not on the same level as the previous "Megukirou"!
Either of them could easily toy with Mupu, just like Shiraki Seiji did just now!
"Hehe, it's clearly a domesticated kitten, but it's quite resilient..."

Jialuo raised her chin, glancing around out of the corner of her eye, and noticed Bai Mucheng.

At that moment, Shiraki was supporting Kaji Takaomi beside him while clapping and cheering for Maruk, the sound quite jarring in the hall.

"..."

Upon seeing this, Galo couldn't help but frown.

Regardless of what the Baku is planning, this guy named Maruk is quite interesting, but that Shiraki Masaru is just too conspicuous.

Is it because you don't like the look of it? No, it's not that...

Galo gradually realized that it was her own nature and instinct that had made her regard Shiraki Cheng as a "target of struggle," and therefore she was unwilling to shift her attention.

"Ha, that's interesting!"

Galo stared at Bai Mucheng, "After I've finished bullying this little cat, I'll play with you properly!"

To everyone's surprise, Shiramu Cheng scratched his face and said, "No need. I advise you to focus, because if you underestimate Maruk, he'll bully you instead..."

Galo was puzzled.

Shiraki grinned. "After all, Maruk is a member of 'our place' and has worked hard to train himself."

Galo was even more confused. "Where?"

Shiraki Cheng put his hand on Kaji Takaomi's shoulder and said happily, "Brother Gara, have you heard of the 'Fighting Spirit Martial Arts Hall'?"

Galo: "..."

Galo: "?"
