Super Fighting Tokyo.

You Sha used a handkerchief to wipe her older brother's face.

With nothing else to do, Wu Fengshui casually fed Bai Mucheng some water.

"That was a beautiful play!"

Recalling what had just happened, Wu Fengshui's heterochromatic eyes sparkled, "What school of technique did you use? Where did you learn it?"

Bai Mucheng was unable to answer for a moment.

After all, everyone has their own experiences, and Wu Fengshui didn't mind. He still smiled and said, "I'd like to see more of your skills. I'll come visit you when I have time. Don't forget you still owe me a favor!"

"……OK."

Upon hearing this, Bai Mucheng did not refuse, but he felt that Wu Fengshui's gaze was a bit off, so he simply looked away and looked at the other two.

Katahara Metsudo and Akagi Shigeru—they are indeed top-tier heavyweights!

After catching his breath, Shiraki raised his hand and thanked Akagi Shigeru.

Thanks to the other party's reminder, Bai Mucheng was able to discover that "critical mistake" earlier and stop avoiding the "painful feeling".

That unique and astonishing talent was clearly revealed in Shigeru Akagi!

But Shigeru Akagi smiled and shook his head, "No, I should be thanking you instead."

He had a cigarette dangling from his lips, his eyes unusually clear, and he murmured with a sigh, "The mahjong games lately have been so boring, and there aren't any interesting masters. I'm considering retiring in the next couple of years, but if there's another fight like that—I wouldn't mind watching a couple more."

"Yes, it's really interesting..."

After finishing his cigarette, Shigeru Akagi raised his hand to the crowd and said, "Thank you for your hospitality. I'll take my leave now. I hope we can meet again someday."

After saying that, he left alone.

Watching Akagi Shigeru's retreating figure, the two sisters from the Wu clan couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of Katahara Metsudo's drinking buddy, he is indeed an extraordinary person."

"……what!"

It wasn't until Akagi Shigeru left that Wu Fengshui came to his senses and realized that he hadn't had a chance to introduce everyone, which made him feel a little rude.

But Mie Tang didn't care about that at all. Instead, he chuckled and pointed to a spot not far away, saying, "I'm not in a hurry, but someone on the other side is in a real hurry!"

Following the direction pointed by the wrathful cleavage, everyone saw that it was Inoue Suga, the minor leader of the Miserable Tooth Group.

At this moment, the leader was sitting on a bench outside the arena, talking on his cell phone with someone. He looked terrified and was visibly sweating profusely.

Because they were not far away, and most of the other people around had left, Bai Mucheng and the others could clearly hear someone's stern rebuke coming from the other end of the phone.

"You ignorant fool! The Miserable Tooth Group should be grateful that they can even host an underground fighting tournament. You think you can host a Kengan tournament? Dream on!"

"This match was something you decided on your own initiative, resulting in serious injuries to Nogi Group's mercenary fighters and involving large conglomerates. Our Jinwa Group is not responsible for this; you'd better deal with it yourself!"

Without giving them any chance to argue, the call was abruptly ended.

The leader froze in place, his face extremely pale, feeling a deep emptiness in his heart, and cold sweat beading on his forehead.

He never imagined that Komada, whom he had hired at great expense, would be seriously injured and defeated.

This resulted in offending first the casino regulars who bet on Komada, then the Teiai Group, which had to reduce some of Shiraki's debts, then the Nogi Group, which hired Komada, and the Jinwa Group, which didn't want to offend the Kengan Association's superiors, and even the Kengan Association itself...

I've offended them all!

The junior leader was panting heavily, his mind racing. After all, even the Renhe Group had told him to "handle it as he sees fit," and he had no idea what to do next.

After pondering for a long time without success, the leader got up and left in a daze without even glancing at Bai Mucheng.

"……Well!"

Mie Tang raised an eyebrow and teased with a smile, "Young people still lack 'magnanimity,' after all, 'handle it as you see fit' is equivalent to having full authority to handle things, and it's also a great opportunity to turn things around."

As a ruthless figure who fought his way up from the bottom to become a leader in the financial world, Katahara Metsudo's way of dealing with difficulties is certainly not comparable to that of a low-level leader of the Mischievous Tooth Group.

"Oh, right, right..."

Suddenly, Mie Tang thought of something and pulled Wu Fengshui aside to whisper something to him.

“Little Feng Shui, now that you’ve discovered there’s something ‘behind the scenes’ in this match, I’d like to trouble you, as an insider, to pass on a message to Huili Yang.”

Wu Huili – the current patriarch of the Wu clan, and also the exclusive fighter of Katahara Mitsudo, the first generation "Mitsudo's Fang".

Wu Fengshui blinked. "Of course, please tell me."

Miedang sighed with considerable emotion and said slowly, "It's been a long time since something like this happened—some cunning organization has set its sights on the Kengan Association."

Wu Fengshui asked doubtfully, half-jokingly, "It can't be some kind of Di'ai Group, can it?"

“No, not only that,” Metsudo shook his head, “It seems that a certain criminal organization active in the underworld is considering taking over the Kengokushi…”

"Anyway, tell Erio that you won't be bored lately!"

Mie Tang chuckled and patted Wu Fengshui on the shoulder, then suddenly straightened his expression and instructed, "Besides, little Fengshui, if you're curious and want to investigate further, you need to be careful of 'diamonds'."

Wu Fengshui was puzzled.

Miedang added earnestly, "Be especially careful with 'diamonds' cut to their highest form—IDEAL."

Chapter Eleven: That Small Group of People

Wu Fengshui was a junior, but not an outsider, so Mie Tang had no intention of stopping her from continuing her investigation.

"Ideal... refers to diamond cutting, is that a code name?"

Wu Fengshui noted it down and nodded his thanks to Mie Tang.

"Well!"

Metsudou regained his relaxed demeanor, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, noticing that Yusa was tending to Shiraki's injuries, but she was clearly a bit flustered.

Ordinary bandaging with gauze is fine, but Bai Mucheng now needs more professional treatment.

However, now that most of the people in the underground casino have left, and the leader of the Mischievous Tooth Group, the organizer, has also disappeared, no one is paying attention to Shiramu Cheng anymore.

"That won't do."

Mie Tang waved to the guards behind him, signaling them to come forward and help Bai Mu wrap the bandages.

As the current president of the Kengan Association, Metsudo is happy to take care of young fighters who are just starting out, especially those with outstanding talent like Shiraki Sei.

"The new generation of young people—whether fighters or entrepreneurs—are quite interesting. This old man shouldn't be bored..."

Mie Tang smiled and sighed a few times. After waiting a moment for the guards to finish treating Bai Mucheng's injuries, he turned around and bid farewell to everyone.

"I had a wonderful time tonight, thank you for the hospitality!"

The old man, Mie Tang, is still as energetic as ever.

……

……

With the departure of Mie Tang and his two guards, the underground casino became increasingly deserted.

While You Sha was still taking care of her older brother, the two sisters from the Wu clan, having nothing else to do, also stayed to keep the two siblings company.

Once everyone had left, the two men in black who had been waiting in the shadows—two men in black suits from the Di'ai Group—stepped forward and spoke to Bai Mucheng.

"Mr. Shiraki."

The two men in black spoke very politely.

They are debt collectors for the Di'ai Group, and their relationship with the minor leader of the Canchi Group is merely a cooperative one. They do not face any pressure from the "underworld," and all they have to consider is the contract and their interests.

"Please rest assured that the contract you signed is valid, but we cannot provide details of the debt relief at this time. We apologize for the inconvenience."

A man in black handed over a business card and bowed slightly.

"It seems the Miserable Tooth Group has contacted someone else. We need to report this to the company... Anyway, we will contact you as soon as possible and then pay you a visit."

"..."

Bai Mu accepted the business card and nodded in agreement.

Unlike the Yakuza, the Teiai Group, though a ruthless conglomerate, is ultimately a legitimate "company," and the two men in black are just company employees.

According to Wu Fengshui and the old man of the Extinction Hall, this underground fight seems to involve some external force, and the situation is quite complicated, so the lower-level staff naturally cannot handle it all.

In that case, we might as well wait and see.

……

……

It was late at night, and everyone left the underground casino.

Wu Fengshui drove, carrying Garuda and You Sha, and also giving Bai Mucheng a ride, out of the chaos and darkness of the inner world and back to the bustling city streets.

Looking at the neon lights outside the car window, Yusa suddenly felt as if she were in another world, as if everything tonight was just a dream.

Then look at the guy next to me...

He fell asleep.

He lay sprawled out in the back seat, fast asleep with a completely calm expression. Apart from the bandages on his forehead and body, he didn't look like he had just been through a deadly battle.

The slight bumps in the vehicle left Bai Mucheng half-asleep, his eyes squinting as he watched the scenes from tonight's arena flash before his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy from the bottom of his heart.

"Great, fantastic..."

"..."

Hearing Shiraki Cheng's mumbling in his sleep, Yusa suddenly remembered that her older brother must have had this kind of personality before he fell ill—a chaotic optimist.

Yusa was naturally happy that her brother had returned to his true nature, but she couldn't help but worry when she thought of Shiraki Cheng's excited look with his face covered in blood.

"It's pretty good... right?"

……

……

The car was parked in front of the Shiraki family's vacant lot.

Wu Fengshui woke up the drowsy Bai Mucheng and, before parting, handed him a business card.
