Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 84 Gambler + Kengan!

To the fist of the fighter, I entrust my long-cherished wish—

Therefore, it is named "Kengan"!
For many in the audience, this was the third time they had heard the word tonight.

The first one was "Shiraki Sei vs. Motohiro", vying for membership in the Kengan Association of Niumin Catering;

The second match was between Shiraki Sho and Megumi Kirou, who competed for Shiraki Sho's newly acquired membership in the Kengan Association.

However, this "third time" was somewhat different from the previous two.

What Shiraki was referring to was not the "Kengan Tournament" for membership, but rather a more orthodox form of orderly violence born from the struggle between businessmen.

That is, a real "Kengan Match"!
"..."

Shiraki's sudden suggestion forcefully broke into the stalemate and brought everything to a lively state.

Many people are thinking about this, including the gambling kingpin leader.

"Hmm, Kengan... a match? I'm the kind of person who easily forgets small things, especially things that have nothing to do with the gambling syndicate..."

The gambling leader tilted his head in a gesture, and the old gentleman then began to explain.

"The so-called Kengan competition originated in the Tokugawa Shogunate era. Merchants formed the Kengan Association, and when their interests differed, they would arrange a competition through the Kengan Association."

"Both sides send out fighters to engage in one-on-one combat, and the outcome will be determined by the winner."

"..."

The gambling leader understood. "I see. By bringing order to violence, it won't escalate into unbridled tyranny. It can even elevate 'violence' to 'martial arts'."

"From this perspective, your suggestion is indeed very reasonable."

The gambling leader's eyes darted around, looking at Bai Mucheng.

“You are unwilling to follow the gambler’s arrangements, so you want to take the lead in front of the gambler through your ‘violence’—that’s good.”

"But, Shiraki-kun..."

The gambling leader sighed softly, "The boxing match you mentioned is based on the premise that both sides are 'tied'."

"For example, if property A and property B both want to develop the same piece of land, they can hold a Kengan match."

"But if the size difference between the two sides is too large, for example, A is a large conglomerate with more than 500 people, while B is only a small company with five people, then the struggle will not be possible."

The gambling leader held up two fingers, "To hold a boxing match, 'force' and 'financial resources' are indispensable."

"Shiraki-kun, you have defeated a notary, so your strength is indeed sufficient."

"But in terms of financial resources, even with the billion yen in cash that Akagi-kun gave you, you still can't compare to the gambling king."

"In conclusion, I do not believe that this Kengan match can take place."

"..."

After listening to the gambling leader's words, Bai Mucheng suddenly took out a key from his pocket and showed it to everyone, "With this, is it enough?"

Everyone was taken aback, and then Bai Mucheng explained, "These are the keys to the smuggling ship. There are only two: one is with the escaped arms dealer, and the other is with the arms dealer's guard."

The arms dealer's bodyguard—that is, Galo.

According to Shiraki's speculation, since the gambling gang has come to the cruise ship, it means that they cannot directly take away the smuggling ship for the time being.

Meanwhile, the Baku seemed to have noticed this long ago, so on its way to the upper level, it pestered Gara relentlessly, demanding the "useless" key from him.

Unable to stand Baku's nagging any longer, Gara kicked him several times in frustration before finally handing over the key, which Baku then passed on to Shiraki.

"...So that's it."

The gambling leader remained calm. “The Man from the Divine Realm has given you a billion dollars in cash, along with everything he won tonight, while the Liar Eater has given you the keys to the smuggling ship.”

"Therefore, your 'financial resources' have shifted subtly, to some extent fulfilling the conditions for the competition."

"Is this a coincidence, or is it part of their plan?"

"..."

Bai Mucheng smiled leisurely, "Who knows? Many things in the world are random, chaotic, just like fighting, there is never a perfect way to fight."

The gambling leader remained noncommittal, still stroking his chin in thought.

Meanwhile, Hyoudou Kazutaka from the Teiai Group couldn't help but burst into laughter and urged, "Hehehe, what does it matter? You should just agree to this quickly!"

Looking at everyone present, only he would say such a thing.

On one hand, it was due to the tyrant's personality; on the other hand, the Espowaru was ultimately still an asset of the Teiai Group.

After a moment, the gambling leader nodded.

"Alright! Let's wager the purchase rights of the 'Espowaru' and have a Kengan match."

"besides……"

He changed the subject and looked at Bai Mucheng with interest, "If that's all, it's not quite enough. How about we have another 'personal bet' on the outcome of this match?"

"The Gambler's Club values ​​talent, so it would be a shame to just end things evenly. Therefore, I want to get closer to you and decide to gamble with a favor." "This leads to a more fundamental bet—will you owe the Gambler a favor, or will the Gambler owe you one?"

"..."

Shiramu Cheng and the gambling leader exchanged glances, their eyes gleaming, and simultaneously chuckled softly.

One person felt that tonight was more interesting than expected;
The other person sighed with relief, finally returning to a familiar territory.

……

……

Since both sides agreed, it was the turn of the referee from the Kengan Association to step in.

To be honest, even this experienced referee rarely officiates three consecutive Kyungan matches, let alone one of the fighters who fought three matches in a row.

Few fighters can match this level of physical strength and willpower!

But before the match begins, the referee has one more thing to take care of.

"The Gambling Gang..."

The referee looked at the leader of the gambling syndicate and said in a deep voice, "Even if we consider the gambling syndicate as a 'company,' you are not a member of the Kengan Association, so are we still going to hold a 'competitive challenge' now?"

"No, that's not very convenient."

The gambling leader shook his head, then made a phone call and began contacting his subordinates to make arrangements.

"Hey, Norin, it's me..."

Shortly after, the gambling leader hung up the phone and then showed the referee the photo he had received, which showed another Quanyuan Association membership card.

"Is that enough? I had my men find a bankrupt member and let him use his Kengan Association membership card to pay off his debts—this kind of small matter is easy to resolve."

...A small matter?
Seeing this, the referee couldn't help but twitch his eye, secretly marveling at the strength of the large organization, which truly lived up to its reputation as a behemoth that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the Kung Fu Association.

Now that the membership issue is resolved, the next step is to select the fighters.

The gambling leader's gaze swept across the area before him, focusing on the "strength" of the two gambling gamblers.

One is the S-class cleaner "Yoryuu Joichi"; the other is his twin brother, the second notary "Yoryuu Himekoichi".

The leader tilted his head. "Fei Gu Yi, you don't seem interested?"

“Of course,” Nightwalker Gu Yi nodded slightly, “I’ve never been interested in pursuing power; the less effort I put in, the better.”

The leader, however, clearly did not believe it. "You should tell this lie to the Liar Eater instead."

Then look at Yoruichi, he too is ready for battle.

But the leader shook his head again, "There is a slight difference between sweepers and fighters; you are not suitable."

Ye Xingzhang was slightly dissatisfied, but he could see that the leader clearly had a plan, so he had no choice but to accept it.

"..."

The leader's gaze swept over Galo again.

Galo snorted and joked, "You don't expect me to do it, do you?"

The leader was taken aback, then shook his head repeatedly, "You've learned to joke these past few years since you left the gambling den, Gara."

"However, professional matters should be left to professionals."

"I had previously agreed to a request from someone else, and now it comes in handy, making it the best decision."

The leader asked everyone to wait a moment, and then made a phone call to contact the others.

……

……

While waiting, Shiraki Cheng, having nothing else to do, handed the Douhun Martial Arts School's business card to Gara.

"If you're looking for a fight, you can come to my shop. Occasionally, other experts will come by, and we'll provide training, logistics, and exchange battles..."

Galo: "..."

He truly hadn't expected that, under these circumstances, Bai Mucheng would still have the mind to attract customers to his own shop.

Upon hearing this, Maruk quickly raised his hand and chimed in, "It's really fun! Sister Sa even buys me snacks!"

"..."

Galo's eyes twitched; she felt incredibly angry no matter what she thought about it, but she just couldn't find a way to vent her anger.

After much thought, he grew increasingly annoyed by the Baku beside him...

"Humph!"

He raised his leg and kicked again.
