Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 12 No.2!

"Nice to meet you, Shiraki Cheng."

Bai Mucheng also reached out and shook hands with the middle-aged man in front of him, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

……

Yukio Tonegawa.

The No. 2 of the Teiai Group, or second-in-command, is a capable lieutenant of the Teiai Group's chairman, "Hyoudou Kazutaka," possessing both overwhelming insight and a devilish willpower.

There are very few people in the entire Tokyo metropolitan area who can work their way up to this high position in a giant corporation. Their daily business dealings are all measured in "billions" of yen, making them the elite of the elite.

Bai Mucheng truly didn't expect that the person representing Di'ai Group to come for negotiations would be him.

Even if the actual value of his land could reach "hundreds of millions," it was ultimately just a private loan, and Tonegawa had no reason to personally intervene.

Perhaps the "truth" behind last night's underground gambling match has made Tonegawa restless?

……

Shiraki Shigeaki rolled his eyes and looked behind Tonegawa, and sure enough, it was him.

Three more people got out of the car; they were all familiar faces from the previous night—two men in black from the Teiai Group, and Inoue Suga, a minor leader of the Canchi Group.

This time, the petty boss was no longer as arrogant as before. He was so nervous that he was covered in sweat and his face looked extremely ugly.

"Hey, Inoue-kun! There are two others too!"

Bai Mucheng raised his hand to greet him, but the leader didn't bother to respond. The two men in black nodded slightly, but their expressions were somewhat surprised.

Shiraki Sei looks too natural.

As employees of Tonegawa's team, the two men in black had also seen Tonegawa personally confront the president of a company that had defaulted on its debts.

At that time, Mr. Tonegawa, with just his aura, scared that stubborn old scoundrel into silence, and even made him collapse to the ground, not daring to bargain anymore.

Looking at the present, although Mr. Tonegawa has not yet "gone all out," his aura of long-standing high position still exists, which is simply unattainable for ordinary people in society.

However, Shiraki Shigeki seemed oblivious to this, even calmly exchanging glances with Tonegawa, sizing each other up.

By the way, weren't Shiraki and Tonegawa staring at each other for a little too long?

zawazawazawa…

The two remained silent for a long time.

Gradually, the men in black realized something was wrong.

Shiraki is 187cm tall, and Tonegawa is nearly 180cm tall, both of whom are considered "tall".

But at this moment, in the eyes of others, the two of them are obviously much "taller", to the point that they need to look up to them!

If I had to explain, I'd say it's... aura?
The two exuded completely different auras, yet they possessed a sense of equal presence, making it impossible to look away.

It was as if even the air itself became blurred. After a dozen seconds, Shiraki and Tonegawa simultaneously burst into laughter.

"As expected of someone involved in the 'underworld,' I know what to do—"

Tonegawa adopted a more relaxed expression, then suddenly bowed slightly and said to Shiraki Shigetoshi in a serious tone, "I am truly sorry for this incident!"

"……babble?!"

Upon seeing this, the two men in black couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

They never expected that Mr. Tonegawa would apologize first!
Not only them, but even Bai Mucheng was somewhat surprised, but after a brief moment of thought, he figured out the key to the problem.

Shiraki Shigeaki grinned. "Mr. Tonegawa, you've prepared two sets of explanations?"

"No, more than two sets."

Tonegawa enjoyed talking to intelligent people and said with a faint smile, "Entrepreneurs, ordinary people, deadbeats, people in the underworld... all have different ways of negotiating."

This is the No.2 of the Di'ai Group!

In terms of unarmed combat ability alone, Tonegawa, this "merchant," is no match for Shiraki, so threatening him with force is useless. It would be better to be frank from the beginning.

You can't hit someone who's smiling, especially since Shiraki Cheng has a connection with "Katahara Mitsudo," so there's no need for him to act like a superior.

"Please come in."

Bai Mucheng stepped aside and invited the four people into the open space, where he set out a table and hot water to entertain them.

Although he wasn't thirsty, Tonegawa still took a very measured sip.

The two men in black followed suit, but the leader of the Miserable Tooth Group knelt alone to the side, his hair disheveled with nervousness.

"Back to business."

Tonegawa waved his hand, signaling the man in black to take out a document and place it in front of Shiraki.

"The Miserable Tooth Group and our company, Di'ai Group, have always had a cooperative relationship and will help us recover some troublesome debts."

"Not long ago, the Mischievous Tooth Group received a commission. The client offered a large sum of money to enjoy an informal Kengan match, but required that the outcome be controllable."

"Full of doubts, right? But the client gave us too much, so much that these idiots don't even have time to think about it!"

"So, the leader of the Miserable Tooth Group, Inoue Suga, approached you, intending to have you fight a match you were sure to lose, while also collecting the debt for this land."

"I won't defend myself, but our debt collectors were also fooled by this rhetoric and didn't realize the danger involved."

Tonegawa sighed heavily.

"If you think about it carefully, you'll realize that having registered fighters from the Kengan Association engage in 'fixed matches' not only damages the Kengan Association's reputation but also offends its member companies."

"Thanks—you won."

Tonegawa looked at Shiraki, "Although it has caused dissatisfaction within the Kengan Association, this is the best possible outcome. Thank you so much!"

"As for that 'client,' he used a false identity, and subsequent investigations yielded no leads. I'm sorry." "..."

Now that things have come to this point, the sequence of events is gradually becoming clear.

Tonegawa's overtures made things much easier for Shiraki, who then inquired about the aftermath of his family's debts.

Tonegawa then produced another contract.

"As an apology and punishment, all expenses, compensation, and aftermath of this underground fighting tournament, as well as part of your debts, will be borne by the Miserable Tooth Group."

"As for your family's debt, it will be reduced to 20 million yen, and no further interest will be calculated."

"—This is already the biggest concession we can make."

At this point, Tonegawa suddenly raised an eyebrow and looked at Shiraki, "This shouldn't be a big problem for you, right?"

"..."

Bai Mucheng stroked his chin, his mind beginning to wander.

In terms of sincerity and remorse, Tonegawa's side is quite generous, considering that his previous medical expenses were approximately 20 million yen.

In this way, it is equivalent to Di'ai Group providing low-interest loans, with interest rates not much different from those of banks.

The reduction of 10 million yen in debt, with no further interest accrued, is indeed a very good outcome.

"..."

Just as Shiraki was about to agree, the leader of the Canchi Group suddenly spoke up loudly.

"Wait a minute!"

The team leader, disregarding his image, scrambled to the table, waving his hands repeatedly and saying, "This is wrong, you can't do this!"

According to Tonegawa's proposal, the Mischievous Teeth Group would need to cover Shiraki's debt relief of ten million yen, plus all the expenses, compensation, and aftermath of this underground fighting tournament, totaling around twenty million yen.

Now, the Miserable Tooth Group has been abandoned by its leader, the "Renhe Group," and its members have scattered like monkeys in a collapsing tree, leaving only the group leader as a lone commander.

If Shiraki agrees, it would mean that the group leader alone would be in debt for 20 million yen, which he simply cannot repay!

"Mr. Tonegawa, brothers Shiraki, let's discuss this again!"

The team leader hurriedly suggested, "Bai Mu and I—or just me—will be responsible for tracking down the client and giving the Di'ai Group an explanation. If we succeed, we'll forgive all the debts!"

"Hey, Brother Bai Mu, your family can't repay a debt of twenty million either, can they? Let's propose to the Di'ai Group that we investigate the real culprit behind this..."

Before the team leader could finish speaking, Tonegawa interrupted him sharply, "Spineless piece of trash!"

The team leader was so startled that a few strands of hair drooped down. "...Huh?!"

Before he could even defend himself, Bai Mucheng had already signed his name on the new contract.

The team leader suddenly collapsed to the ground, exhausted.

Tonegawa glanced at the utterly pathetic team leader, waved his hand without hesitation, and had the men in black drag him away. "Idiot, don't think everyone in the world is your mother!"

Shiraki Sei had a similar idea.

The expenses for her medical treatment are real, and the bank wouldn't approve a loan for a minor like You Sha. Without the loan from Di'ai Group, it's uncertain whether her family could have survived these past few years.

From this perspective, the money from Di'ai Group did indeed solve their immediate problem.

Debts must be repaid—Bai Mucheng has no intention of haggling.

"..."

Tonegawa glanced at the contract; it was in duplicate, and he carefully kept his copy.

"According to the contract, if you are still unable to repay the 20 million debt within a year, this piece of land belonging to your family will still belong to the Di'ai Group—do you understand that?"

Bai Mucheng nodded and laughed heartily, "Of course."

"Very good, thank you for your hospitality, I apologize for the intrusion."

Tonegawa got up to take his leave.

……

……

Tonegawa sat back in the back seat of the black sedan.

The underling was still slumped in the passenger seat, with one man in black driving and another sitting next to Tonegawa.

Tonegawa tossed the contract to the man in black beside him and casually said, "Don't even think about developing this land anymore. Think of another plan."

"what?!"

The two men in black were puzzled and asked, "Mr. Tonegawa, you've seen the situation with the Shiraki family. How is it possible to come up with 20 million yen in a year? There's no need to abandon the development plan!"

"idiot!"

Tonegawa scolded again, saying helplessly, "I've told you many times that you have to look at a person's 'spirit and energy'."

“A debtor who refuses to pay his debts and lives a life of aimless despair is not the same kind of person as a ‘genius’ who can turn the tide; they are not even the same kind of creature!”

"That guy named Shiraki Cheng definitely has a way to earn 20 million yen, maybe even soon, without even considering the possibility of failure!"

"Hmph, besides that, there's another thing I need to do—"

Tonegawa rubbed his temples and changed his expression.

"We must find a way to find out exactly who that guy is who commissioned the Miserable Tooth Group to scheme against the Imperial Love Group?"
