Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 33 A critical moment

{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 we come."

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?"

"Haha, 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." "Now—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?

You want to sway me, make me angry, and then gain the psychological upper hand...

But I'm not one of those four stupid mercenaries who got killed by someone with their bare hands. Don't even think about trying to pull any tricks on me!
……

……

As Rodham closed the distance, the outcome of the match was about to be decided.

It's now!

Baku said nervously, "Brother Akagi, make your move!"

Q-Lang then ordered: {Rodm, pick 'them' up!}
Swish!
Shigeru Akagi pulled a "steel wire".

On one side of the corridor, there was another pistol, which Baku had secretly placed there when Rodham fought Shiraki.

He stuffed the muzzle with foreign objects, piled stones mixed with gunpowder on top, and then tied a steel wire to the trigger.

In this way, when the steel wire is pulled and the trigger is pulled, the gun will explode, and the foreign objects and the rubble on it will fly in all directions, with a destructive power comparable to a shotgun.

As Shigeru Akagi pulled the steel wire, a loud "boom" was heard, and countless stones flew towards Rodham.

But the next second—

Swish!
Rodham picked up "them"—the bodies of the mercenaries who had been killed on the sixth floor!

He picked up two corpses, one on each side, and used them as "shields" to shield himself from the flying stones.

Bang bang...

The body was smashed to pieces by stones, but Rodham was unharmed.

{Haha! On the battlefield, there's no shield stronger than humans; I saw through your plan long ago!}
Q-Long gave the order in a deep voice: {Throw him out, Rodham!}
Wow!
Rodham threw the corpse in his hand forward with all his might.

The corpse flew forward, but it did not hit Baku and the others. Instead, it was stopped in mid-air by "something".

It's a wire trap!
Between the three men and Rodham, there was not nothing but a wire trap that was difficult to see with the naked eye!
puff!

The corpse crashed into the wire trap and was instantly cut into several pieces. Blood gushed out from its body, splattering across the entire corridor and soaking Akagi Shigeru, Madarame Baku, and Kaji Takaomi in a bloody hue.

Hahaha! So this was your target all along. Did you think I wouldn't see through you?
Q-Lang turned on the speakerphone and laughed maniacally, his voice echoing in the sixth-floor corridor.

Your real purpose is to use the wire traps on the sixth floor, which haven't been removed yet, to deal with Rodham!
Do you really think I'd forget about wire traps?
Haha, your strategy was pretty good, but Rodham and I are still the stronger ones!
However, at this moment—

Swish!
Rodham suddenly turned around, and the camera was pointed at Shiramu Cheng behind him. He saw that Shiramu Cheng was squatting on the ground, as if he could not even stand up.

But no matter what, Rodham just couldn't take his eyes off the screen; his wild, instinctive nature was screaming warnings.

{For some inexplicable reason... Rodham, snap out of it, turn around!}
Q-Lang slammed the knife on the table, letting out a hoarse growl, "Prepare to kill!"
However, to Q's bewilderment, despite having given the order, Rodham remained completely unresponsive.

{Ugh! Rodham! What have you been doing all this time? Kill them!}
Rodm completely ignored Q-Lang's words.

At this moment, Rodm was rubbing his eyes vigorously with both hands, continuing even as blood flowed freely.

{Don't block the camera, Rodham! Can't you hear me?}
"Gurgle...gurgle..."

Rodham let out a series of strange screams, his face a mess of saliva and blood.

Baku kindly reminded him, "Ah, no, no, Rodem doesn't have time for you right now. You weren't there, so you can't see it, right? Rodem is right now—"

"My whole body is covered in acid!"

{……acid? ! }
Q was startled. {Was it hidden among the rubble sent flying by the explosion, and then secretly scattered at Rodem? You actually carried something like that…}
Baku chuckled, "But this kind of trap only works when Rodm gets close."

"So we also moved the mercenaries' bodies nearby and set traps on them so that they would scatter dust if moved."

"After Rodm raises the human shield, dust will fall into his eyes, and Rodm will instinctively rub them, allowing the strong acid fumes to enter his eyes."

"In addition, Rodm inhaled the acidic poison, which temporarily rendered him unable to fight!"

"..."

Q-Lang's face stiffened, {Unbelievable...}
"Heh, how despicable!"

Shigeru Akagi smiled faintly and finally lit a cigarette. "The so-called victory or defeat is mostly a chaotic battle, and unexpected situations often occur."

Q-Long wanted to say something, but suddenly heard heavy footsteps coming from behind Rodham.

"You can't understand this, can you? After all, you can only blindly follow Q-Darling..."

Goodbye, Rodm!

Ode!
Bai Mucheng lifted the corpse off his body, leaped up, and launched a flying kick at Rodham!

Zangief's Whirlwind Spinning Kick!
