Ryuji Kurosaki looked at Tamao Serizawa, who was still stunned by the huge amount of information he was receiving, and congratulated him while putting the money into his own pocket.
"What? A competitive eating challenge? Didn't you say you'd treat us?"
If he could, Tamao Serizawa would have jumped up, but his stomach was too full to move.
"That's right, I'll treat you, and you can take on the challenge. There's no conflict between the two."
Ryuji Kurosaki then began to explain.
"No... since I succeeded in the challenge, shouldn't that money be mine?"
Tamao Serizawa saw it clearly just now; the prize money that Ryuji Kurosaki received was probably tens of thousands.
I don't even make this much money helping someone else with a single call.
"You're just taking on the challenge yourself, since you didn't ask for money. Thank you for your generosity, Serizawa! Oh, right... I have something to do, so I'll be going now. See you next time!"
Ryuji Kurosaki then patted Tamao Serizawa on the shoulder and walked outside.
"Wait a minute..."
Just as Serizawa Tamao was about to get up and grab Kurosaki Ryuji, he felt a surge in his stomach, as if the contents of his stomach were about to come out of his throat, and his movements stopped involuntarily.
Just when I finally caught my breath and wanted to get back on my feet...
The restaurant owner and waiters walked over with smiles on their faces.
"Congratulations on successfully completing the challenge, sir/madam. Please take a photo and sign your name. I will then post your photo on the wall to show all customers who enter the store, proving that our challenge is genuine..."
The owner and waiter grabbed Tamao Serizawa, taking photos and asking for his autograph.
After doing it for a long time.
There was no trace of Ryuji Kurosaki left in Tamao Serizawa's sights.
He could only stare in the direction where Ryuji Kurosaki had left, muttering angrily, "That guy... he's worse than a devil. I'd better not run into him again."
(Did you get it?)
Just as Serizawa Tamao left the hotel, he walked a short distance away with what looked like a pregnant belly.
Chen Chuan Shisheng rushed over in a hurry.
"Serizawa...when did you find the time to take a walk here?"
Seeing Serizawa Tamao looking very pregnant as he strolled along the street, Tatsukawa Tokio said anxiously.
"What happened?"
Serizawa Tamao frowned.
“Something big has happened. Just now, the leader of Housen, Ryuji Kurosaki, came to our side and issued a challenge, saying that he will flatten our Suzuran Southwest Branch in a month.”
"What? What did you say? Who came to Lily of the Valley to issue a challenge?"
Upon hearing that familiar name from Tatsukawa Toki, Serizawa Tamao's voice rose several decibels.
"Ryuji Kurosaki, what's wrong?"
"It really is that devil!"
"A devil? What devil?"
Tatsukawa Tokio looked at Serizawa Tamao with a question mark on his face.
I have something really bad to tell you, something terrible has happened to Lily of the Valley.
You're talking to me about the devil?
What are you fighting?
Tatsukawa Toki's gaze slowly swept over Serizawa Tamao's stomach: "You mean Kurosaki Ryuji is a devil? He got you pregnant?"
"I'm a man, how could I possibly be pregnant!"
Tamao Serizawa looked exasperated.
Chapter 130 The Alliance of the Three Major Factions of Lily of the Valley
"I'm a man, how could I possibly be pregnant!"
Tamao Serizawa looked annoyed.
"Then why is your belly so big?"
Chen Chuan Shisheng looked on with curiosity.
"Don't even mention it. I was hoping to get a free meal after failing to make a business deal, but I ended up getting ripped off."
Tamao Serizawa, heavily pregnant, let out a deep sigh.
"How did you get scammed? Tell me quickly!"
Chen Chuan Shisheng spoke with great interest and quickly lit a cigarette for himself.
Judging from his appearance, if he had sunflower seeds in his pocket, he'd probably already be eating them.
The main problem is that the Southwest Branch of Lily of the Valley has two big "freeloaders".
The man who never buys cigarettes but always mooches them is none other than the leader of one of the three major factions in Suzuran: Yoshiki Genjiro.
There's another guy who freeloads on meals everywhere, not only from people but also from cats and dogs eating cat food and dog food on the street. This guy is none other than Tamao Serizawa himself.
As a result, Tamao Serizawa ended up getting the short end of the stick after trying to freeload off others.
Chen Chuan Shisheng immediately became interested.
"Actually..."
Tamao Serizawa glanced at the cigarette in Toki Tatsukawa's mouth.
"Tsk...did you learn this trick of begging for a cigarette from Brother Jiamu?"
Tatsukawa Tokio pursed his lips in annoyance, but still took out a cigarette and handed it to Serizawa Tamao.
"Whoo~~~"
Tamao Serizawa took a deep drag on his cigarette and spoke slowly.
The reason he fought with Kawada and his gang was that someone paid him to fight. After beating up Kawada and his gang, he would make some threats, and that would be the end of it.
As a result, many of Kawada's guys were killed by Kurosaki Ryuji, so the threats obviously had no effect, and the deal was considered a failure.
So Serizawa Tamao thought he should at least get a meal from Kurosaki Ryuji, otherwise he wouldn't have any money for dinner tonight.
And then came the story that just happened.
After hearing everything, Tatsukawa Toki was laughing so hard he was practically leaning against a lamppost.
253 "He got so much free food that he was sold to participate in a competitive eating contest, haha... that's hilarious, but... at least you got a free meal."
"That's true, but I still feel like I'm being taken advantage of!"
Tamao Serizawa exhaled smoke, looking melancholy, and then asked, "By the way... what were you saying just now? What happened to Ryuji Kurosaki?"
"Damn! I almost forgot about the important matter!"
Tatsukawa Tokio's expression immediately turned serious, but when he thought about Serina Tamao being sold to participate in the competitive eating challenge, he couldn't help but laugh again.
I just couldn't hold it in any longer.
With great difficulty, he finally revealed that Kurosaki Ryuji had just come to Suzuran to issue a challenge, and Yoshiki Genjiro called everyone to a meeting.
The three major factions of Lily of the Valley discussed how to deal with the Impatiens.
...........
Linglan Southwest Branch School, rooftop.
The rusted barbed wire outlined cold lines under the gloomy sky, and crows perched in small groups on the edge, emitting harsh cries as they looked down at the chaotic campus below.
On the mottled cement wall, names of both old and new are written, the most eye-catching being the three weathered yet still defiant characters: Lily of the Valley Pinnacle.
Below, the names "Kawanishi Noboru", "Nakai", and "Kagi Genjiro" are prominently listed, like a tripartite balance, yet with undercurrents surging beneath.
Below are also names belonging to the Lily of the Valley Bad Guys.
At this moment, the air was so heavy it seemed as if you could wring water out of it.
The three groups of people occupied different areas of the rooftop in distinct divisions.
The faction led by Chuanxi Sheng had the largest number of members and the strongest momentum.
Kawanishi Noboru leaned against the graffiti wall, arms crossed, an unlit cigarette dangling from his lips, surveying the others with scrutiny and undisguised contempt.
The key members behind him all had unfriendly expressions and provocative eyes.
The Kagi Genjiro faction, on the other hand, appeared much more composed.
He stood in the middle of the rooftop, with his back to the barbed wire fence, his hands casually in his pockets, his gaze calmly sweeping across the entire area.
Standing next to him were Tatsukawa Tokio, Serizawa Tamao, and others.
Chen Chuan Shisheng frowned, seemingly deep in thought, while Serizawa, as always, was relaxed but now restrained his playful demeanor, crossed his arms, and a hint of seriousness lurked in the depths of his eyes.
Zhong Jingze stood near the stairwell, his face still somewhat pale. Beside him were several close friends, led by Jing Shenggang, all with livid faces and eyes burning with anger and resentment.
"Tsk!"
A clear, piercing smack of the tongue broke the suffocating silence.
Kawanishi Noboru took the cigarette out of his mouth and casually tapped Nakai's direction with the cigarette butt, his tone full of merciless sarcasm: "Hey Nakai, last time on Xilong Street, you could say you got into a fight with Fukagawa, which left you exhausted and gave Kurosaki Ryuji an opportunity to take advantage. Now, on your own playground, you can't even block one of his punches, you vomited blood and almost fell flat on your face, and he walked out unscathed. You've almost completely disgraced Suzuran!"
Before he could finish speaking, Jing Shenggang and the others behind Zhong Jing glared angrily and took a step forward, instantly creating a tense atmosphere.
"Chuanxi! What the hell do you mean? Are you looking for trouble?!"
Zhong Jing suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, his voice hoarse with anger and a dull pain in his chest: "You think you're strong? I dare say, you can't withstand that guy's punch either!"
"Really?"
Kawanishi Noboru scoffed, straightened up, and his eyes turned dangerous: "So you think I'm just as useless as you? How about... we try it now? Let's see if I'll end up like you, getting punched to the ground and knocking my teeth out?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the key members behind Kawanishi Noboru immediately cracked their knuckles and pressed forward menacingly.
"enough!"
A deep yet penetrating shout rang out, like cold water being poured onto a powder keg about to explode.
Yoshiki Genjiro stepped forward and stood between the two sides, who were on the verge of exchanging blows.
His gaze calmly fell on Kawanishi Noboru, then turned to the furious Nakai.
"Senior Kawanishi, please say less. After all, Senior Nakai's injuries haven't fully healed yet, and that Kurosaki Ryuji is indeed very strong. Besides, even if you beat Senior Nakai down now, what's the point except that Suzuran will lose another person and make us an even bigger laughingstock?"
Yoshiki Genjiro's voice wasn't loud, but it was enough to reach everyone's ears: "Nakai-senpai, please calm down a bit. I know you're feeling bad, but there's no point in getting angry now."
He surveyed the faces on the rooftop, each one displaying anger, humiliation, or bewilderment, and said in a deep, powerful voice, "We must now acknowledge one thing: Fengxian is very strong, perhaps even stronger than any previous generation of Fengxian."
"If we continue as we are now, scattered and disorganized, fighting our own battles and glaring at each other..."
Jia Mu's gaze swept over the words "Lily of the Valley Pinnacle" on the wall, a heavy sarcasm in his eyes: "Our Lily of the Valley Southwest Branch will be trampled underfoot by Fengxian and become a laughing stock in the entire Huya City!"
His words struck like a hammer blow to everyone's heart.
Even the hot-tempered Zhongjing gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
Kawanishi Noboru's mockery subsided somewhat, and his eyes flickered.
Kagi Genjiro turned to Kawanishi Noboru, his tone earnest yet firm: "Kawanishi-senpai, I know you want to unify Suzuran and reach the top of Suzuran, but now is not the time for internal strife!"
"Right now, Fengxian is a sword hanging over all of our heads. If we fight amongst ourselves first and deplete our own strength, what will we have to withstand Fengxian's fierce attack a month from now?"
"Even if you defeat me and Zhongjing, are you really willing to see the entire Linglan area trampled by Fengxian in the end?"
Listening to Yoshiki Genjiro's words, Kawanishi Noboru slowly exhaled smoke, remaining silent, his eyes fixed on his own name on the wall with a complex expression, as if he could see through the wall and witness the possible disastrous defeat a month later.
The key members behind him looked at each other, the fervent atmosphere dampened by the pressure of reality.
Kagi Genjiro then looked at Nakai, his voice filled with understanding, yet also hitting the nail on the head: "Nakai, I know you want to take revenge yourself and wash away the shame, but you've also experienced firsthand how strong Kurosaki Ryuji is. On your own, how confident are you in defeating him? If you lose again, Suzuran will truly be finished, and your dignity will only be trampled on even more thoroughly!"
Nakai's body trembled violently, and the image of Kurosaki Ryuji's devastating punch resurfaced in his mind.
The overwhelming, unstoppable force brought a chilling sense of despair that instantly extinguished the fury of revenge.
Zhongjing opened his mouth, but couldn't utter a sound of rebuttal.
