Super Fighting Tokyo.

Q-Lang, puzzled, asked through the earpiece, "Rodm, what's wrong?"

Rodham stammered, "He... he's starting to become very dangerous. We have to be careful and not let him prepare any further..."

{What's going on? Rodham, what are you on guard against?}

Q-Long was still confused, but suddenly shouted, "Rodm, it's behind you! Get out of the way!"

boom!

As soon as he finished speaking, Rodham leaped into the air, dodging a bullet fired from behind him.

Rodham landed steadily, turned around, and saw Akagi Shigeru holding a pistol in the distance of the corridor.

Beside Akagi Shigeru were Baku Madarame and Takaomi Kaji.

At the same time, Q-Lang was staring intently at the flashing locator in his hand, showing no surprise at the appearance of the three people.

"Rodm's words are strange. What do you mean by 'beginning to become dangerous'? But then again..."

"Ha...haha! That's hilarious!"

"The three of you didn't go downstairs, but went back to the fifth floor... and now you're on the sixth floor!"

Q-Lang laughed so hard he could hardly breathe, “Whether you tried to escape in a sorry state or came to the fifth floor to take me hostage, you had a certain chance of winning, but you two just happened to chase me all the way to the sixth floor.”

"Is this what they call 'protecting comrades'? How foolish! Both the [Liar Eater] and the [People of the Divine Realm] are overrated..."

Having reached this point, Q-Lang felt confident of victory and couldn't stop laughing, slapping his thigh repeatedly.

"A mere pistol won't be enough to deal with Rodham; you're out of options!"

Q-Lang gritted his teeth and gave the order in a low voice.

{That Shiraki Cheng is already done for, but taking him out will take some time, so let's prioritize eliminating the armed prey!}

Go, Rodham, kill those three!

"..."

Seeing Rodham approaching step by step, Kaji Takaomi was so frightened that he panicked. "Hey...hey! Weren't we going to the fifth floor to take the old man hostage? Why are we coming here?!"

Baku put his arm around Takaomi Kaji's shoulder and explained with a smile, "Suke hasn't finished warming up yet and needs time to adjust. Let's go cover for him!"

Kaji Takaomi felt a chill run down his spine.

Even Bai Mucheng couldn't confront this modified monster head-on, so how could a few ordinary people like them possibly provide cover?!

Then, Baku began to tease Shigeru Akagi, "Hey old man, your marksmanship isn't very good. You haven't hit the enemy with so many bullets."

"Ah—it's all over—!"

Baku read aloud, "We're all going to be killed by you!"

"...Heh, it doesn't matter if I die."

Akagi Shigeru chuckled softly, resigned. "After all, life is like a gamble with no chance of winning. No matter who you are, you'll eventually lose the right to continue gambling..."

Akagi Shigeru looked up, his gaze passing over Rodham and landing on Shiraki Shige behind him.

"The key is how you play this gamble of 'life'."

"The key lies in—the process of all this..."

Chapter Thirty-Three: A Close Call

{Rodm! Slowly approaching.}

No wonder he's a mercenary who's been on a real battlefield.

Even with a clear advantage, Q-Lang did not let his guard down, but instead considered various possibilities.

{They've probably set a trap, waiting for us to fall into it...}

But don't worry, we're very lucky! Our goal, father and son, is the pinnacle of gambling!

"Ah, what's behind...it's dangerous, we have to take them out as soon as possible..."

Rodham listened to Q-Daro's words, his throat hoarse a few times, and his head kept turning back to look at Shiraki Cheng, who was standing still.

"What's wrong? Rodham, you don't need to worry about that person."

Q-Dragon paused, about to tell Rodham to make a move, when he suddenly heard Baku speak.

"Old man, can you hear me?"

Ok?

Q-Long was taken aback and told Rodham to turn around and move forward.

Baku's expression was relaxed. "I advise you to give up on getting the gambling king. If you overestimate your abilities, you will surely bring about your death!"

{Tsk, Rodham, you… wait, no!}

Just as Q was about to give the order, he suddenly noticed something amiss. "What did the [Liar Eater] just say?"

"He said 'Get the gambling king'—how does he know about my conversation with Rodham?!"

The communication headset wasn't played through the speaker, so there was absolutely no way Baku could have heard Q-Tarou's words, unless...

A bugging device?!

Q-Lang felt agitated and recalled Ye Xing's unusual action just now. "Mr. Ye Xing, can I see the 'pen' you just picked up?"

Night Walk: "..."

To be honest, I'm starting to regret going out at night.

He originally intended to have some fun, but he went along with it and helped the Baku hide the existence of the "pen eavesdropping device."

But that bastard Baku clearly heard the noise of him picking up the pen, so he used this as an opportunity to finally sway Q-Daro.

That's... kind of interesting.

Isn't Baku afraid that he'll tell Q-Daro about the bugging device?

But what's done is done, and there's no point in thinking about it anymore. The Baku's use of "unexpected situations" was indeed quite brilliant!

"..."

Seeing that Ye Xing did not answer him, Q-Da-Lang became furious and embarrassed.

He drew his cane knife directly, first slashing the pen in half, then pointing the tip of the knife at Ye Xing.

"This is a bugging device! Nightwalker, you old geezer, can you explain this to me?"

Q-Lang gritted his teeth, "As a notary—how dare you favor one side?!"

"..."

Ye Xing remained calm and slowly said, "Q... Lord Ninefold, please don't misunderstand, there are no rules in this bet."

“Although I am a notary, I am free to choose which side to stand on or what actions to take.”

Ye Xing sighed helplessly and replied perfunctorily, "The notaries of gambling enthusiasts all have their own personalities and characteristics."

“If it can make the game more interesting, I’m more inclined to chime in with my own words—for example: Haven’t I reminded you many times before, Lord Jiuzhong?”

"..."

Ye Xing slightly opened his eyes, glancing at the gleaming blade, feeling a slight displeasure.

Despite his repeated warnings, Q-Long ignored them and continued to mock him, clearly doubting his professional competence. Now, he was threatening him with a knife...

To be fair, Gu Yi, the Nightwalker, isn't a person with a good temper—especially when dealing with idiots.

"While I haven't shown favoritism towards anyone, even if I were to help the [Lies Eater], don't nag me!"

……

……

Sixth floor, corridor.

Before the bugging device was completely destroyed, Baku Madarame overheard Q-Taro and Yagyō arguing.

"Oh dear, they're arguing?"

The Baku's lips curled slightly as it looked behind Rodham—Shiraki Cheng remained standing still, motionless, the surrounding air seemingly frozen.

"It seems that Xiao Cheng needs a little more time to warm up, so we'll have to delay it a bit longer."

Baku then turned to Rodem and said to the two beside him, "Gentlemen, get ready, Q-Darro is about to lose his temper!"

Everything went exactly as the spotted tapir had predicted.

{Hmph! Night Walker, I knew you weren't trustworthy! But now's not the time to argue!}

{Rodm! Kill the Liar! Don't give them a chance to fight back!}

{kill!}

At the command, Rodham sprang into action, sprinting forward.

"Ah, here it comes."

Baku raised an eyebrow, comforting Kaji beside him while asking Akagi Shigeru with a smile, "Hey Akagi, do you think we can win this bet?"

"Hehe, who knows?"

Akagi Shigeru knew Madarame Baku was joking, and replied with a faint smile, "If the odds of winning are 100%, then it's not gambling at all, and we've already done everything we were supposed to do..."

Akagi Shigeru's eyes darted around as he looked at the approaching "demon." "Next—it all depends on our luck!"

……

……

The office is on the fifth floor.

Q-Lang's expression grew increasingly ferocious.

[The Liar], you underestimate me. Do you think I can't see through your little tricks?
