Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 14 Evil Spirits Roam the Alley

Akiyama Kaede had seen that kind of look before—Shiraki Cheng's look.

Strangely enough, even if "fighters" and "business owners" were to collaborate, they should be two different types of people from two different fields, and should be completely different.

However, Akiyama Kaede discovered that the best among these two types of people would occasionally have the same look in their eyes.

Is it fighting spirit? Or temperament?

"..."

In any case, Akiyama Kaede completed his mission, handed over his business card and the real estate tycoon's information to Shiraki Cheng, and then got up to take his leave.

After seeing the guests off, Bai Mu carefully collected all the documents and business cards.

To be honest, I haven't made much money these days, but I've accumulated a lot more business cards, both from individuals and companies.

Katahara Metsudo, Tonegawa Yukio, Teiai Group, Wu Fengshui, Akiyama Kaede, Nogi Group...

The first two, in particular, are extremely valuable and could even cause a sensation in the business world!
"Should I buy a business card holder?"

……

……

The information provided by Akiyama Kaede included the recent movements of that real estate tycoon.

Delay may lead to unforeseen changes, and a long night may bring many unforeseen events.

Therefore, Shiraki set off on the evening of the following day.

Yusa wanted to go too, but Shiraki stopped her—this time he was serious, after all, everything was unknown and the level of danger was several times higher than before!
"Brother..."

As Yusa watched Shiraki Cheng about to leave, she wanted to say some words of advice, but then felt that would be a bit nagging.

After thinking for a while, she tried to sound relaxed and asked, "What are we having for breakfast tomorrow?"

—The meaning of this question is to ask Bai Mucheng to return home safely.

Shiraki Cheng waved his hand with a smile, "Rice with tamagoyaki, and miso soup."

"understood!"

Yusa waved vigorously to her older brother until he turned the corner and disappeared without a trace.

……

……

Shiraki's destination was an underground casino located in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

Unlike the makeshift operation set up by the Tragic Tooth Gang, this underground casino was run by "professionals," and it was rumored that there were even cops behind it.

Strictly speaking, the "unfinished building" of the Mischievous Tooth Group is nothing more than a clumsy imitation by a group of amateur yakuza. The real illegal industry is the one that Shiraki Cheng is going to tonight!
The decor goes without saying; the floor tiles are white and red, polished to a shine, and there's even a bar table on the side.

Poker, roulette, mahjong, pachinko... all kinds of gambling facilities are available, and of course, dealers and bunny girl waitresses are also provided.

The gamblers coming and going are rarely yakuza or biker gangsters; most are either idle vagrants or successful people in suits.

"..."

Bai Mucheng stood there empty-handed, looking somewhat out of place.

According to clues provided by the Nogi Group, the real estate tycoon was a regular at this underground casino.

However, how exactly to conduct the investigation is indeed a difficult problem.

"..."

While pondering, Bai Mucheng suddenly had a feeling.

Just like the sense of smell, the fragrance of flowers can make one feel refreshed. Bai Mucheng suddenly had that "feeling" and so he stepped forward to search for it.

Beside a simple "dice guessing odd or even" gambling game, Shiraki Sei found the source of that "feeling".

A middle-aged man with a full head of silver hair and clear eyes, wearing a striped suit.

Shigeru Akagi.

A few days ago, I had a chance encounter with that "person from the Divine Realm" in the small casino of the Miserable Tooth Group. He is now in this underground casino!

Are you here for leisure? Or were you invited by someone?
The answer doesn't matter.

The saying goes, "Evil spirits roam the alleys, and evil spirits love to gather bones."

It wouldn't be surprising to see a gambler with exceptional intelligence like Shigeru Akagi anywhere.

"……oh?"

Akagi Shigeru caught sight of Shiraki Sei in the crowd and greeted him with a faint smile, "Sei-kun? What a coincidence, to run into you here."

"Brother Akagi."

Shiraki Shige squeezed through the crowd and went to Akagi Shigeru's side.

He suddenly noticed that everyone around him was huddled together, all watching Akagi Shigeru's gambling game, as if the "people of the divine realm" possessed an innate attraction.

Looking at the gambling table again, Bai Mucheng immediately understood what had happened. Although it was just an ordinary "guessing odd or even" game, the "abnormality" that appeared in the "ordinary" was particularly eye-catching.

Akagi Shigeru's table was piled high with chips, clearly indicating that he had won countless rounds!

There are three dealers at this table—in other words, two different groups of dealers have already been replaced, but they still can't stop Shigeru Akagi's winning streak!
Then another dealer ran over and whispered to the other dealers, "We've checked the security footage, there was no cheating."

"Tsk..."

The head dealer looked grim and whispered a few words to another dealer, who then quickly ran away.

After making his backup plan, the head dealer looked at Shigeru Akagi and whispered, "Brother, we have no grudge against each other. There's no need for us to make our dealer go bankrupt, is there?"

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Shigeru Akagi seemed quite surprised. "I've never heard of this casino being a 'gentle place that won't bankrupt you'."

"Haha..." Upon hearing this, the head dealer could only manage a dry laugh.

After all, it's an underground casino, and people often go bankrupt here, but to "empty the banker's betting money" is something that has never been heard of!

The head dealer was unwilling to bear such a huge mistake, not only losing his job but also possibly incurring enormous gambling debts!
"Brother, let's discuss this."

The dealer, no longer caring about saving face, whispered, "Next round, you bet half your chips—just half, that's all. Let's play a 'fair' round, and you can have the other half, how about it?"

This has been made clear.

The dealer hopes that Akagi Shigeru will concede in the next round, thereby recovering half of his chips and minimizing his losses.

Without waiting for Akagi Shigeru's response, the head dealer began the next round of dice rolling.

Shigeru Akagi didn't back down either, continuing his search and betting all his chips on "double".

The head dealer, sweating profusely, secretly lifted a corner of the dice cup. The two dice showed "three" and "five" respectively, resulting in a "double"!
Shigeru Akagi was right again.

"Brother..."

The head dealer looked grim and tentatively asked, "It's not open yet, but it can be changed. Why don't you reconsider?"

Akagi Shigeru remained calm. "Double."

As the two were talking, a commotion arose again from within the crowd. Several members of the Yakuza group gathered around, led by the croupier's underling who had left earlier.

It seems the head of the croupiers was worried that he couldn't persuade Shigeru Akagi, so he planned to use force to threaten him.

However, Shigeru Akagi ignored this and focused intently on the gambling table, tapping his fingers lightly on the surface.

"pair."

This response made the dealer team leader's face turn completely gloomy. He waved his hand, signaling the yakuza members around him to take action and resolve the immediate problem.

But just as one of them reached out, the other hand grabbed his wrist first.

"what?!"

Before the yakuza could react, he felt a sharp pain and loss of strength in his wrist. When he looked up, he saw that his entire wrist had been completely twisted off, with the back of his hand pressed against his forearm.

The one who made the move was not Akagi Shigeru, but the young man standing behind him!
"asshole!"

The other three members of the Yakuza ganged up on him, but they were all unarmed, and Shiramu Cheng didn't even have the intention to dodge.

He delivered a chop to one man's throat, then swung his elbow into the second man's nose, and finally wrapped his other arm around the third man's neck, choking him until he passed out.

This series of actions was incredibly smooth and highly entertaining, comparable to Shigeru Akagi's previous winning streak, and even drew gasps from those around them.

Seeing that things were going badly, the head dealer was about to step forward and do whatever he wanted when another fist suddenly slammed into his face.

boom!
He was knocked to the ground and lost consciousness.

The person who took action was a casino security guard, who was sent to maintain order.

After all, it's a long-established underground casino; if people renege on their debts after losing money, it wouldn't have been able to survive until now.

"Sorry for causing you any trouble."

The security guard bowed deeply to Shigeru Akagi and Shiraki Shigeaki, and then raised various compensation issues, but the two just dealt with them perfunctorily and did not care.

Shiraki Shigeki is still searching for someone, while Akagi Shigeru doesn't care about gains or losses.

"call……"

With a cigarette dangling from his lips, Shigeru Akagi complained helplessly, "I was just strolling around when I suddenly got into a gamble, but it turned out to be a boring game. But it's good to meet some new friends."

Bai Mucheng responded with a smile. Having an acquaintance by his side made him feel much more relaxed, and he planned to order two drinks.

Just then, an old man next to him suddenly spoke up.

"Oh dear, casinos these days have no rules. If you really want to make money, you need one-on-one games, but finding opponents isn't easy. Am I right?"

Shiraki Shige and Akagi Shigeru looked in the direction of the sound.

The old man smiled broadly and said kindly, "Nice to meet you. My name is Jiuzhong Chonglang. Would you like to make a bet with me?"
