Super Fighting Tokyo.

As mercenary assassins, the Wu family is quite powerful and efficient, but being an assassin family, many of them have some issues with their thought processes and worldviews.

For example, the Wu clan has a tradition that dates back more than a thousand years. The Wu clan, who were born for martial arts, often had their children absorb the "physiological seeds" of famous martial artists in order to obtain excellent genes and fighting techniques from the outside, and to continuously improve themselves generation after generation.

One piece of information is that Garuda is not interested in Shiraki Sho; she probably prefers the type of Tokita Ohma, and will meet him sometime in the future.

Another piece of news is that Wu Fengshui seems to be very interested in Bai Mucheng—she didn't say "only fighting techniques."

"After all, he's my cousin's classmate's brother; we're all 'parents,' so don't be so formal!"

Wu Fengshui stood on tiptoe, put his arm around Bai Mucheng's shoulder, and said familiarly, "Consider this a favor you owe me. I'll just tell you the information directly."

Just as Bai Mucheng was about to consider it, he saw Wu Fengshui suddenly become serious and change the subject.

"This match—especially your opponent, Komada [Niou], his appearance fee is something that a small yakuza group like the Mikasa Group can't afford."

"Moreover, the nature of this match is strange. If you are still ill, the outcome will be completely predictable, even utterly uninteresting—you will be utterly crushed."

“Someone else paid Komada’s appearance fee, and the purpose was not simply to hold the competition.”

“I have found three related forces: the Teiai Group, a member company of the Kengan Association, and a foreign underground force.”

Wu Fengshui frowned slightly.

"The last one is the most hidden, and I even doubt its existence; it's just a 'possibility'."

"..."

Shiraki stroked his chin, gesturing, "And then?"

Wu Fengshui understood that Bai Mucheng was asking about his opponent in this battle, and continued to introduce him: "As for [Niou] Komada, he is a fighter hired by the Nogi Group, a Kengan newcomer with three wins in three battles, and he used to be a gangster, and he is very ruthless."

"Given that this is not a formal Kengan match, the possibility that Komada 'carried a weapon' cannot be ruled out."

Bai Mucheng understood and smiled, "Thanks!"

Wu Fengshui grinned as well, "Don't forget the favors you owe!"

Bai Mucheng doesn't laugh.

……

……

After a short rest, men in black from the Teiai Group arrived and led Shiraki to see Komada.

This is a common meeting between the two sides before a fight, and it's also an excellent opportunity to heat up the atmosphere.

The lights in the casino center were turned on at maximum brightness.

Under the gaze of hundreds of people, Shiraki and Komada stood facing each other, their height and physique differences clearly visible.

Shiraki Sei, height 187cm, weight 94kg;

[Nioh] Komada Shigeru, height 192cm, weight 121kg;

In a proper fighting match, such a weight difference would make it impossible for the two fighters to stand on the same ring. Not only would the outcome be a foregone conclusion, but from a moral standpoint, the audience would also find it unacceptable.

But in the underground boxing matches of the underworld, once both sides step into the ring, there is no going back!

"The price offered by the organizer is very reasonable, but why is the competitor a complete newcomer?"

Komada crossed his arms, frowned in confusion, and looked at Shiraki Masaru. "Hey kid, where did you used to compete?"

"I run a family-run dojo and teach extracurricular classes."

Shiraki Shigeaki slightly raised his head, making no attempt to avoid Komada's gaze.

Upon hearing the answer, Komada's brows furrowed even more. "It's the debut battle?!"

He sighed dismissively, "Looks, physique... information about me is obvious. I'm clearly much stronger than you, yet you still dare to step into the ring?"

"What's there to be afraid of?"

Bai Mucheng asked in return, narrowing his eyes.

Perhaps sensing Komada's intense fighting spirit, Shiraki's mind also became active, his body gradually heated up, and Ryu's phantom appeared before his eyes again, throwing a straight punch at him once more.

—That was a punch that Shiramu Cheng still couldn't completely dodge!

Compared to that, the imposing presence of Komada's massive physique was insignificant, and he was far from being as "powerful" as he claimed.

Shiraki was lost in thought, while Komada sensed a hint of contempt in his eyes.

"Then... I understand."

Komada snapped his fingers and raised his chin. "Be prepared to stay in bed for a long time—maybe a lifetime."

……

……

"Komada is definitely a veteran; he's really getting the atmosphere going!"

Wu Fengshui sighed and watched from the sidelines with Garuda and You Sha.

With nothing else to do, they educated Arisa about "Kengan Fighting Techniques" and some common knowledge related to the Wu clan.

Such calm conversation is especially rare in an underground casino at this time.

But soon, the two sisters noticed that in a corner not far away, near a mahjong table, the atmosphere was also unusual, with an indescribable, extremely strong presence.

He leaned closer to listen in—

"Self-draw, Nine Lotus Lantern, Yakuman, 32,000 points, Reversal."

The man who played the card was a middle-aged man with silver hair, wearing a casual suit. His voice was deep and languid, yet had an indescribable sharpness.

Wu Fengshui and Garuda glanced at each other, then turned their attention to their opponent, both of them showing some surprise.

To think I'd run into an old acquaintance in this tiny underground casino!

He was an elderly man with long beard and hair, dressed in a men's kimono. His face was deeply wrinkled, and he was thin and small, yet he exuded a sense of vicissitude, danger, and even murderous intent.

—The “Chairman” who is in charge of the Kengan Association, the current head of the financial world, is named Katahara Metsudo!

He has a deep connection with the current patriarch of the Wu clan, and of course he recognizes Garuda and Wu Fengshui. He was also quite surprised that the two would appear here.

"Grandpa Miedang!"

Garuda rushed into the old man's arms, and Wu Fengshui greeted him afterward.

Mie Tang was in a great mood at the moment. He patted Garuda's head like an elder, waved to the uncle from the opposing side, and laughed heartily.

"Ho ho ho, I've lost again. I guess I'm hopeless when it comes to mahjong!"

But the white-haired uncle on the other side simply lit a cigarette and chuckled helplessly, "Don't joke around, this is just a pastime after dinner, it's not even a 'fun game'..."

"That's true. After all, the original plan for tonight was to go drinking. Sorry for dragging you here to keep this old man company!"

Mie Tang chuckled nonchalantly and introduced the three young women before him, "This is my drinking buddy—"

The white-haired man held a cigarette between his fingers and gestured with his hand.

"Akagi."

He smiled faintly and added his name, "Shigeru Akagi".

Chapter Seven Deep Error

Wu Fengshui sized up the middle-aged man in front of him.

He was only in his thirties, but he had a head of silver-white hair—probably natural.

Despite being a middle-aged man, his eyes were remarkably clean and pure, concealing an unexpected and immense talent.

This may be what is meant by extraordinary people and phenomena.

According to Wu Fengshui, he was also a legend of the same level as Katahara Mitsudo!

Among the yakuza, there are methods to collect debts or resolve disputes through "mahjong gambling," and one person among them is always victorious.

Akagi Shigeru——

He dominated the underground mahjong scene, experiencing countless gambling games, and remained undefeated for decades, earning him the title of "the man of the gods"!

"..."

Although Garuda didn't know much about the underground mahjong altar, his feelings were similar.

"He is indeed a very capable person, and compared to Grandpa and Grandpa Metsudo, this Mr. Akagi is a completely different 'type'..."

Seeing that the two sisters' attention was completely drawn to Akagi Shigeru, Katahara Metsudo also looked on as if it were perfectly natural, "Heh heh, my drinking buddy is indeed very popular!"

Wu Fengshui and Garuda then came to their senses.

Mie Tang changed the subject, asking with a hint of doubt, "Speaking of which, are there people from the Wu clan here who want to kill us?"

"Stop teasing us, old man."

Wu Fengshui waved his hand helplessly.

She knew that the old man from the Mie Tang family was a restless and unconventional person who couldn't stand being alone, so before the other party pressed her for details, she simply explained Bai Mucheng's situation in general terms.

"……I see."

"Forced to stand in the arena and compete against active fighters of the Kengan Association for the sake of their family's land?"

Metsudo turned to look at Yusa, his expression suddenly darkening. He said in a low voice, "Little girl, your older brother might die..."

Before he finished speaking, an inexplicable aura had already spread out.

Katahara Metsudo—this over ninety-year-old man, who resembled a withered tree, suddenly unleashed energy like an active volcano erupting, his overwhelming presence surging endlessly.

Even the president of a large conglomerate would be terrified and break out in a cold sweat when faced with the overwhelming power of the annihilation party, and might even be unable to move!

But the other two card players—who were also the bodyguards of the gang—never expected that the four people present, including Garuda, Wu Fengshui, Akagi Shigeru, and even Yusa, would all remain completely unfazed!

The first three are understandable, but how come that ordinary high school girl is also like this?!

"Wow, this young lady has a great attitude and potential!"

Mie Tang leaned on his cane happily, his demeanor transforming back into that of a thin, withered old man. He chuckled and sighed, "Youth is truly wonderful, but then again, young lady, aren't you worried about your elder brother?"
