Super Fighting Tokyo

Chapter 85 The Gambler's Fighter

Someone once commented on Galo in this way—

He is not suitable as a "notary" because his presence is too strong.

That overwhelming "force" can even influence a gambler's mindset, thereby altering the course of the game.

The liar, the Baku, once used this to his advantage, allowing Gara to "passively" protect herself in a gamble where the table could be overturned at any moment.

Of course, these are all old stories.

"..."

As the spotted tapir rubbed its thigh, it recalled these memories.

Just now in the corridor, when he asked Gara for the keys to the smuggling ship, he had already been kicked several times by Gara because of his glib tongue.

Now, if I kick him again, even though I controlled the force, it will still really hurt; I bet his skin will turn blue.

"Haha, indeed, Mr. Galo can joke now..."

The spotted tapir appeared to be complaining, but was actually quite pleased.

More accurately, I really like the current atmosphere.

Both Garo and Maruk have a past of being deeply involved in "struggles," but now they can get together and chat and laugh, which feels really good.

Baku couldn't help but look at Shiraki.

To the Baku, the world is a chaotic gray, where everyone, regardless of their color, is vying for fame and fortune, and lies are countless.

Is it really possible for someone to find a path of joy amidst this chaotic deathmatch, and even influence those around them?

"……Ha ha!"

The spotted tapir couldn't help laughing.

Since that's the case, I can't spoil the fun, after all, he's not the kind of person who likes to be passive.

"Hey 'Boss,' that phone call you just made wasn't a call for backup from outside, was it? Who did you call?"

Baku easily stepped forward and took the initiative to talk to the gambling leader.

"..."

Upon seeing this, Kaji Takaomi was suddenly startled.

He remembered that the Baku had lost its life to the gambling leader, but the leader didn't care, which allowed the Baku to continue to live.

In this tense situation, why is Baku so eager to speak up? Isn't he afraid of being killed?
Based on previous events, even someone with a close relationship like Gu Yi would not hesitate to take the life that was wagered!

But the spotted tapir seemed completely unconcerned about this, and even took the initiative to approach the gambling leader.

"Ah, I remember just now, Xiao Cheng defeated a gambling notary."

The spotted tapir shrugged, its tone full of mockery.

"If I remember correctly, the gambling king always claimed that the notary's strength was top-notch and enough to maintain the rules of every gambling game."

"But a notary was defeated."

"Of course I can understand. There will always be people who take advantage of others in a large organization. Since they have made a mistake, they should correct it in time."

"However, now that one notary has lost, does the gambler intend to send another notary?"

The spotted tapir looked quite helpless.

"In that case, wouldn't it become like defeating one small organization and then having a bunch of weaklings? Relying solely on numbers to create a spectacle would be too unsightly."

"If the notary loses again, are you going to drag your dad into it? I heard your dad's pretty good at fighting, haha, really..."

"..."

The spotted tapir kept mocking, even appearing somewhat inferior, leaving the onlookers completely bewildered.

Even Kaiji Ito couldn't help but be confused.

"That gambling leader must be a really powerful person, right?"

Kaiji frowned. "We've already come this far. Facing someone so extraordinary, is there any point in mocking them like this? It's pointless, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this, Shigeru Akagi smiled and explained, "No, whether it's gambling or fighting, momentum is a very important thing."

“I can roughly understand what Baku-kun is thinking. He wants to help Seung-kun get rid of some ‘tricky opponents’ as much as possible, such as the gambling notary.”

"If the gambling king continues to send a notary to fight, he will likely be at a disadvantage in terms of momentum from the start."

"..."

Hearing Akagi Shigeru's words, Ito Kaiji paused, then subconsciously said, "How despicable..."

Shigeru Akagi immediately corrected him, "Most things in the world about winning and losing are random. Being too honest won't work, so you have to be flexible. Being honest is a bad habit."

“However, Kaiji-kun, you are right about one thing…” Akagi Shigeru changed the subject, “For that gambling leader, this level of 'cunning' is of very limited use.”

……

……

Snap!

The gambling leader suddenly snapped his fingers.

Immediately afterwards, the old gentleman took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which was drawn a scrambled Rubik's Cube.

He shook the paper.

Swish!
A real "Rubik's Cube" fell out of the paper and landed in the hands of the gambling leader.

This is a little magic trick.

The gambling leader toyed with a Rubik's Cube and said leisurely, "Sending a notary to fight a second time—why would I do something like that?"

"I already said it was the best judgment, Baku-kun, you should trust me more."

In a short time, the scrambled Rubik's Cube was successfully restored.

The gambling leader turned around and walked to the observation deck, then waved to signal everyone to go and look.

The people in the reception room went out one after another and gathered on the spacious balcony outside. Looking at the night outside, they were immediately puzzled.

The gambling leader snapped his fingers again.

Snap!

In an instant, the gambling crew members everywhere sprang into action, and the deck lights of the entire Espowaru were turned on, illuminating everything around them.

Everyone else was observing the deck, while the powerful ones with "force" were drawn to the distant sky.

A helicopter flew in from the direction of the city, approaching from a distance.

"The gambler's duelist has arrived."

The leader stroked his chin and said with a faint smile, "Although he is a temporary fighter, his strength is quite good. I have seen it with my own eyes."

"Speaking of which, it was at his father's request. He was a really straightforward uncle, and he was an old friend of my father's. Our fathers were old acquaintances."

"So, what exactly is our relationship? Childhood friends... but not that close, since he's not very interested in gambling..."

The gambling leader's strange temper flared up again, and he started rambling on about nothing.

"..."

About five or six minutes later, the helicopter hovered above the cruise ship and was slowly descending, its propellers making a "beep beep beep" sound.

Unable to contain their curiosity, everyone looked up to see.

As they approached the ground, the people inside the cabin couldn't wait any longer and opened the cabin door.

"Ouch!"

The man let out a rather cheerful exclamation as he looked down at the entire Espoovaru cruise ship.

"It's so beautiful, what a lovely view!"

A familiar voice came from the crowd, attracting the attention of one person.

It was him—the last leader of the Divine Heart Society.

"what?"

Mo Tanghou was taken aback and immediately looked up, and sure enough, he saw the face of an old acquaintance.

He stared wide-eyed in astonishment, “Second...second-generation rich kid?!”

Bai Mucheng heard what Mo Tanghou said.

When it comes to "second generation", the most familiar one is of course Kaoru Hanayama, the "second generation head of the Hanayama Group".

But Atsushi Modo wasn't a member of the underworld, nor was he part of the Hanayama Group; he was a karate member of the Shinshin-kai.

Therefore, the "second generation" he mentioned naturally refers to the "second-generation director of the Divine Heart Society".

Its name is——

Foolish Katsumi!

　Gentlemen, I need to take a day off tomorrow. I've gone through several revisions of the battle outline with Katsumi. I need to refine it. I've been writing since 5 a.m. and I'm still not satisfied, so I deleted it all. I need to go out and do some exercise to think it over. Thank you for your understanding. I'll update normally the day after tomorrow! Hongchen thanks you!

　　P.S.: The more I study Katsumi, the more I realize he's a brilliant young man, full of youthful vigor, and a truly handsome person...
