Tokyo Wrestler

Even in the enemy's own territory, Sett walked with an air of utter indifference, showing no regard for family or friends!

The burly man leading the group was greatly impressed by this demeanor. After hesitating for a long time, he finally spoke:

"Master Sett...you're going the wrong way."

Sett's expression remained unchanged, as steady as a rock: "Yes, lead the way."

"Hi!!"

...

The underground boxing ring of the Sanhe Group looks much newer than that of the Qinghe Group.

The spacious corridors and neatly planned boxers' preparation rooms clearly indicate that the place was recently renovated.

However, the three burly men who led the way did not take Sett into the boxers' preparation room to warm up. Instead, they took him to an office.

I gently knocked on the dark brown wooden door.

The burly man from the triad leading the way said, "Deputy leader, the person has been brought."

Deputy team leader? Sett suddenly became alert. He glanced around discreetly and noticed that the secretary with the flying hat, who had always been at the back of the group, had also disappeared at some point!

Apart from him, everyone around him was from the Triads.

Are we going to kill them beforehand to silence them?

Sett frowned involuntarily, recalling the route he had taken from the underground parking lot. If anything went wrong, he would activate his data-driven retracing technique.

The door opened.

The burly man from the Triad Group who was leading the way bowed and gestured inwards, saying, "Master Wanhao, the deputy leader is waiting for you."

“I seem to be here to box, not to meet with some deputy leader, right?” Sett questioned.

Before anyone else could speak.

A hearty laugh suddenly came from inside the room, and someone said:

"I'm sorry, it was my idea. I was just too curious and wanted to see what a super rookie who could beat Ice Hands looked like."

Seti looked into the house upon hearing the sound.

The office was furnished quite luxuriously, unlike the simple furnishings of the butler, Taro Ishimura. In addition to the usual desks and chairs, there were all sorts of rare and exotic items, jewelry, and antiques on display.

It doesn't resemble an office; it's more like a museum.

The person who spoke was a slightly short, middle-aged man with a mustache, a thick gold necklace, an expensive cigar dangling from his lips, revealing yellowed teeth and gold-plated front teeth.

It exudes the air of a nouveau riche who "spends money recklessly".

This person also looked Sett up with a smile and praised him:

"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young. I expected you to be young, but I really didn't expect you to be this young. A high school student? A high school student can defeat someone like Ice Hand, tsk tsk, unbelievable."

Sett didn't get carried away by a few compliments.

After looking around again and finding no weapons in the office, and confirming that he wouldn't be "signaled by smashing a cup and dozens of axemen rushing out to chop him into mincemeat," he finally entered the office.

The burly man leading the trio behind Sett also entered, closed the door behind his back, and stood there with his hands behind his back, while the others waited outside.

"Come, come, have a seat."

Deputy Team Leader Gold Tooth extended his right hand, adorned with five gemstone rings, pointed to the leather sofa beside him, and said to Sett.

Sett did not do as instructed.

Instead, he asked directly, "What's the matter?"

Although he's usually quite goofy, his past experience as a corporate slave prevents him from turning into a naive and innocent person when things really get tough.

He has now run to the Three Kingdoms boxing ring to fight White Wolf.

Anyone with eyes can see they're here to cause trouble.

There are no benefits to the three-in-one group, only disadvantages.

Therefore, the goodwill shown by Deputy Team Leader Jin Ya seemed somewhat inexplicable.

Seeing Sett's unfriendly attitude, the deputy leader with the gold teeth was not angry. He still grinned and showed off his big gold teeth, saying, "Alright, I like straightforward people. Then I won't waste any more words."

After saying that, he picked up a silver-white handbag from the floor next to his desk.

The latches opened with two clicks.

One lift.

Inside, neatly stacked stacks of ten-thousand-yuan bills were visible.

He then said, "There are a total of twenty million here. As long as you go easy on White Wolf during the fight and let him win, then... all this money is yours."

After saying that, he pushed hard, exposing all the dark green banknotes, which still seemed to exude the smell of ink, to Sett's eyes.

So, the reason he made me make this special trip was to bribe me into throwing the match? Sett suddenly realized.

Chapter 17 Conspiracy

Although Seti remained silent, his gaze was fixed on the 20 million yen.

Even the crow's feet around Jin Ya's eyes seemed to have deepened.

There is a play!

So he continued to persuade him:

I know what's troubling you.

"Are you afraid of retaliation from the Qinghe Group? Heh, that dark-skinned bitch Qingjing Suizhi really only knows how to play such petty tricks."

"But all you have to do is join our Triad, right? I'll pay you whatever the Green Harvest Group pays you for each boxing match!"

"As for us members of the Triad, that bitch can't control us, and she wouldn't dare to!"

Sett finally understood the other party's true intentions:

Making him fix matches was just the beginning. The real purpose was to use the fixed matches to alienate him from the Qinghe Group and force him to join the Sanhe Group, thereby bringing more people to their newly established boxing ring.

That's true in theory.

As long as he has money, it doesn't matter where Sett fights.

After all, his goal wasn't to become famous or make a name for himself, but simply to earn money and pay off his debts.

Therefore... Sett's answer was:

"I refuse."

He then completely withdrew his gaze from the twenty million yen.

"What did you say?" Deputy Team Leader Gold Tooth almost thought he had misheard. He was stunned for a moment before asking, "This is twenty million! As long as you nod, you can take it right now."

“I said I refuse,” Sett repeated.

This time, Deputy Team Leader Jin Ya was no longer smiling.

He never imagined that a high school student who had just turned 18 would actually have the courage to refuse a huge sum of 20 million yuan.

With a cold face, he stopped trying to persuade him and said, "If that's the case, then get out!"

Sett also walked out of the office without looking back.

Although 20 million is indeed very tempting.

But there's no such thing as a free lunch. Next to every seemingly tempting fruit, there may be a brightly colored venomous snake lurking.

And the reason why Sett rejected the other party.

It's not because of any naive idea that "one is born a Qinghe person and dies a Qinghe ghost".

It's not because of Aoi Suige's headlights... well, maybe that's partly true.

The main ones are:

Who said joining the Triad would protect you from the Qinghe Group's retaliation?

What is he doing now?

Isn't he just helping the Qinghe Group purge traitors?

On one side is the Qinghe Group, with whom they have collaborated twice and have a certain foundation of trust; on the other side is the Sanhe Group, which is completely clueless and whose choice would completely offend their former employer.

Every meal is full, and one meal is too much.

Even a child would probably make the right choice.

...

After Sett left.

The burly man who had remained silent and guarded the office door didn't come out. Instead, he locked the wooden door again and suggested to the deputy team leader with gold teeth:

"Should I go...?"

As he spoke, he made a knife-like shape with his right palm and slashed it a few times in front of his neck.

Deputy Team Leader Gold Tooth stood up, closed the silver box containing 20 million yen again, and shook his head, saying, "The people are already in our Triad's hands, what's the rush?"
