Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 30 New Ideas
Nightwalker Princess Gu Yi, Gambler No. 2 Notary.

The term "notary" literally means "a person who notarizes gambling games."

Although their specific personalities and ways of doing things may differ, in general, notaries are all a group of people who are eager to "witness".

Witness a mind-bending gamble that combines "intelligence" and "force".

Intelligence alone is not enough.

The corresponding "force" is the gambler's life!
Without police force, people would continue to commit crimes and take the lives of others for their own benefit.

Or perhaps, no one would submit to "power" that has no force? Just as no one is afraid of a paper tiger...

In the world of gambling, force is also an important factor.

Only those with equal military strength, or those under an order maintained by superior military strength, are qualified to negotiate and suppress potential injustices.

The bigger the stakes, the more likely people are to forget all their previous agreements and morals once they lose everything.

Furthermore, the "weak" who wins may even be eliminated by the other side; this is a law naturally conceived by society!

……

……

Nightwalker continued to perform his duties as a notary, witnessing and notarizing the betting game.

Even so, I'm starting to feel a bit bored walking around at night, and I sigh to myself.

"The Liar Eaters' side is lacking in military strength..."

Putting aside the team-up factor, the only person who truly stands with the [Liar Eater] is that ordinary person named "Kaji Takaomi".

Anyone could see that Kaji Takaomi's courage and martial prowess were subpar, practically nonexistent, and he even seemed to be a liability.

In comparison, the other side's "Gods of the Realm" Shigeru Akagi and Shiraki Jo, who defeated a Kengan Association fighter, are more interesting to watch.

Thinking about this, Ye Xing suddenly felt a strange sense of emotion.

How did the Liars fall to this state?
Yes, it should have started from the day he "disobeyed his superiors".

……

……

The term "insubordination" refers to the act of challenging a "gambler."

In other words, it's about challenging the current boss of the gambling club, the 21st leader—Sōichi Kirima!

That night, on the rooftop helipad of a luxury building, Ye Xing witnessed this gamble.

At that time, Baku Madarame, the Liar Eater, risked everything, including his own life.

The stakes of the gambling leader, according to the custom of "subordinates defying superiors," naturally represent the real power of the entire gambling club.

However, since the establishment of the gambling organization, no one has ever been able to win in a gambling game where the "underdog" is challenged.

How did the Liar perform that night?
—Absolutely terrible!

The bet proposed by [The Liar Eater] was "whether any flying objects will fly over the building within thirty minutes." [The Liar Eater] bet on "yes," while the leader of the betting group bet on "no."

At that time, the Liar was very confident, as if he was certain of victory.

However, thirty minutes passed and the sky remained silent, with no flying objects passing by!
The Liar Eater had prepared about a hundred flying objects of various sizes beforehand, but these objects were nowhere to be found until the end of the betting game.

Because the people who were assigned by the "Lie Eater" to launch the flying objects were not actually obeying him.

The leader of the gambling syndicates had long foreseen that things would turn out this way, so he arranged for his subordinates to infiltrate the "Lies Eater's" inner circle.

In other words, there won't be any flying objects at all in this betting game!
[The Liar Eater] And so, he lost his "power" and "money," and even the "meaning" of his own existence...

As for the life of the [Liar Eater] himself, the gambling leader found it uninteresting and did not take it immediately, so it was temporarily spared.

……

……

And so, the Liar Eater was left with nothing, utterly destitute...

Even so, Nightwalker never expected that the Liar Eater would participate in such a low-level gambling game.

To compare one's irreplaceable life with a mere gambling club membership, and even put oneself in danger, is utterly foolish!
"..."

Ye Xing sighed helplessly.

Compared to the current [Lies Eater], Nightwalker is now more interested in seeing how the man named [Shiraki Cheng] will behave when facing the murderous soldier "Rodm".

But as he walked and pondered at night, his peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of something under the table leg.

There was a pen there, as if it had been dropped on the ground by accident.

However, Ye Xing, being more experienced and knowledgeable, immediately recognized that the pen was actually a disguised "eavesdropping device"!
Q-Long couldn't possibly be eavesdropping on his own room, so the only person who could have left the listening device was one of the other four people involved in the gambling!
First, ruling out Shiraki Shō and Kaji Takaomi, they shouldn't be the eccentric "people of the Divine Realm," so there's probably only one truth—

It was the Baku that dropped this bugging device!

The Liar has lost everything, but he prepared a bugging device in advance. Could it be that this gamble was intentional?
And could it be that...

A bizarre guess suddenly occurred to me while I was walking at night.

Could it be that I... no, even the leader, and even all the gamblers, have already fallen into the trap set by the Liar Eater?!

This idea was simply absurd; even Nightwalker didn't know why he had thought of it.

Perhaps it's because of the [Liar Eater] itself?
To be more specific—when the Liar encounters the Divine Realm and the "Pursuer of Power," what kind of expression does the Liar have at that moment?

Perhaps...she's laughing?

……

"Ha ha……"

During the escape, the spotted tapir suddenly laughed and even took out a dried plum snack from its pocket and happily ate one.

Kaji Takaomi asked, "Mr. Baku, what should we do next?"

While eating dried plums, Baku said casually, "That old man knows exactly which floor we're on—maybe because of surveillance, or maybe he has other methods."

"But it doesn't matter!"

The Baku pulled out an M9 pistol and grinned, saying:

"Rhodesm is currently tied up with Xiao Cheng. All we need to do is rush to the fifth floor—the old man's office—and subdue him with guns. Then we'll be invincible!"

Kaji Takaomi was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly followed in Baku's footsteps.

But at that moment, Baku heard Q-Tarou's words through his own eavesdropping earpiece—that is, the pen-shaped eavesdropping device.

{Rodham, those guys are heading up to the fifth floor; they're probably aiming for my room.}
{Hurry up and kill the person in front of you, then go to the fifth floor and trap the other three!}
"...?!"

Upon hearing this, the spotted tapir felt a chill run down its spine.

Sure enough, Q-Lang used some trick to accurately grasp everyone's movements!
This is like cheating; if you don't understand this, you'll miss every opportunity and the situation will become very bad.

"So what methods were used..."

The spotted tapir chewed on a dried plum, feeling as if it were about to grasp the truth.

However, it was Akagi Shigeru who spoke first—

"Haha, that's it."

Akagi Shigeru took out the coins from his pocket—these were the ones Q-Taro had lost to him in a mahjong game, and Kaji Takaomi and Shiraki Sho had also won some.

As for Baku, he lost the most miserably; all the spare change in his pocket was borrowed from Q-Dragon.

As he fiddled with the coin, Shigeru Akagi chuckled, “It’s funny, because we were so focused on escaping, we subconsciously ignored the ‘truth’.”

"This is a gamble, isn't it?"

Shigeru Akagi shook the coin in his hand. "We're playing this game for the stakes—money, so we'll never be without money on us."

"If you're going to put trackers on us, shouldn't you prioritize things we won't 'leave'?"

"..."

Akagi Shigeru's words gave Baku Madarame a complete grasp of the answer.

It's a coin! The tracker was disguised as a coin!!
In the tense escape and the allure of huge bets, no one pays attention to the "small change," which is precisely where the blind spot in thinking lies.

"Haha, you're amazing, uncle. Now I can think of Plan B."

Baku had been too preoccupied with his calculations and hadn't been focused on the gamble, which caused him to be a beat slow in thinking, allowing Shigeru Akagi to come up with the answer first.

Although he was very happy, Baku still felt a little sour inside, so he teased, "How about we call it the 'Uncle' plan?"

"Hehe, it's not bad either."

Shigeru Akagi waved his hand casually, looking indifferent, "But no matter what, we need to hurry."

“Ah, yes.” Baku nodded.

"Varied--

Kaji Takaomi was taken aback by what he heard and was about to ask a question when a loud rumble suddenly came from behind him.

Boom!
With a dull thud, Bai Mucheng was thrown backward from the darkness, as if he had been hit head-on by a large truck.

Swish!
Bai Mucheng swept past the three of them and crashed heavily into the wall.

"Cough—ah!"

He coughed up blood, stared wide-eyed ahead, and growled at the other three, "Get out of the way!"

The three men were not oblivious to romance, nor were they overestimating themselves; upon hearing this, they immediately ran away.

Deep in the corridor, Rodham raced forward, fierce as a demon and swift as a ghost!

Rumble!
As Rodm charged straight toward him, blood flowed from Shiramu Cheng's nose, mixing with the bloodstains at the corner of his mouth and sliding down his chin.

In the life-or-death moment, under extreme pressure, Bai Mucheng's consciousness began to go berserk.

The time for thinking is stretched out indefinitely!
In Bai Mucheng's eyes, the extremely tall and robust phantom beside Long began to solidify, and he was finally able to see Long's face clearly.

Long raised his hand high, signaling to the burly, illusory figure to take good care of his "disciple."

Snapped!
The burly phantom waved its hand, colliding forcefully with Long's hand, creating a sense of effortless "personnel swapping".

coming!

The roar in Bai Mucheng's mind gradually cleared, and he could see and feel things more clearly...

A new master, new moves, and the same desire for power residing in different fists!

wrestlers—

Zangief the Red Whirlwind!
