Tokyo: Love Begins with Controlling the Rich Girl

The voice in front of him continued to provoke, "If you really don't dare to fight, you can have him instead."

As he spoke, Shimada Sho pointed to Koki Tetsujo.

A collective gasp came from the edge of the field.

Sugita stood not far behind Shimada Sho, his palms sweaty.

He had heard of Kiryu Ichiyo, a rare female executive in the Sumiyoshi-kai. People in the underworld said she was likely to be the future successor of the Sumiyoshi-kai, and that she was skilled and ruthless.

He had even heard that this woman had killed someone.

Such a formidable figure would surely be angry to be challenged by a high school student in front of so many people, right?

As it turned out, he was right.

Kiryu Ichiyo was indeed provoked.

She was originally the one who would reap the benefits of this duel between two forces.

As expected, she planned to have Kaiki Tetsuji deal with Shimada Sho.

But now, looking at that repulsive face, a nameless anger rose within her.

After the previous conflicts and provocations, it would be difficult to quell my anger if I didn't do something.

She hung her suit jacket on a chair and stepped into the room.

He paused beside Kaiki Tetsujo, turned his head, and said something.

Kaiki Tetsujo glanced at her, then at Shimada Sho, and finally nodded before sitting down on a chair at the edge of the field.

With the absence of Kaiki Tetsujo, who was in charge of the battle, the arena was cleared out.

Kiryu Ichiyo stood in the middle with a cold expression, exuding an imposing aura.

Although she was only a teenager, no one dared to underestimate her at that moment.

Only Shimada Sho, upon seeing her step forward, revealed an even more contemptuous smile.

He went up on stage and stood on the opposite side.

Neither of them made any grand gestures; they simply stood in the center of the field.

After a brief silence, Kiryu Ichiyo raised his hand and unbuttoned the cuff of his shirt, rolling it up twice to reveal a faint old scar on the inside of his wrist.

“We can begin,” she said coldly.

Owada Heavy Industries stood outside the venue, looking at the figure in the middle, his expression much more complicated than before.

He had seen Shimada Sho take action. That time in this building, this high school student beat more than a dozen of his elite men so badly they couldn't get up, and even Miss Kiryu didn't get the better of him.

Now that they're facing each other again, the young lady might be acting out of spite.

But if he loses, the challenge will be declared a loss for him.

How to do?

One of them was the young lady of the Sumiyoshi-kai, and the other was a mysterious young man whose identity even he couldn't guess.

The two are even stronger than each other in combat.

He couldn't get involved at all and could only watch helplessly.

They didn't even have the right to stop Kiryu Ichiyo from playing.

At this moment, it wasn't just Owada who was anxious.

The hearts of the few people from the armed forces were also in suspense.

"This should be Kiryu Ichiyo of the Sumiyoshi-kai. I'm afraid the young man can't handle it." Sugita stood at the edge of the field, his eyes filled with anxiety as he muttered to himself.

Upon hearing this, Shota's pupils shrank sharply. "You mean this person is from the Kiryu family?"

Although they were just ordinary members of the armed forces, who in the underworld didn't know about the Sumiyoshi-kai?

Especially the woman named Kiryu Ichiyo.

At a young age, he defeated a group of powerful representatives and, with the support of his elders, forcefully entered the upper echelons.

He is a legendary figure in the Tokyo underworld.

There are all sorts of opinions about her abilities, but no one says she's weak.

“That Shimada-kun…” Shota didn’t finish his sentence, but his worry was already very obvious.

Sugita shook his head and didn't respond.

He didn't know what to do next.

From the moment he entered this place, things were already out of his control.

In fact, it was Shimada who was in charge all along.

When he came in just now, Owada Heavy Industries' attitude towards Shimada was really strange, so he didn't dare to interfere.

While the people outside the arena had their own thoughts, the two people inside had already started moving.

Shimada Sho walked into the area enclosed by thin ropes, stood still, and looked at Kiryu Ichiyo, saying, "This is the third time. I hope you've improved a bit."

"You'll see!" Kiryu Ichiyo replied coldly, and at the same time moved.

She stomped her leg hard on the ground, her body shooting forward like an arrow released from a bow.

During the charge, a straight punch was thrown, aimed directly at Shimada Sho's face.

Seeing this, Shimada Sho sneered, "Still so weak."

As he spoke, instead of advancing, he retreated, rushing towards his opponent at an even faster speed.

His strength is now vastly different from what it used to be.

After several draws, my physical condition and reaction speed have improved, and my physical state is much better than it was a month ago.

His physical condition has improved from single digits to the current level, and his reaction and strength are now several levels higher than before.

He could feel that his breathing rhythm was very steady, his center of gravity was low, and his muscles were just the right amount of relaxed.

At this moment, clenching your fist allows explosive power to gather in your arm.

As Kiryu Ichiyo drew closer, Shimada Sho slowly raised his fist.

Seeing this, the opponent's gaze sharpened, but instead of continuing the previous move, he turned his fist to the side and kicked out with his leg.

"Same!"

Shimada Sho's eyes held a sinister smile.

Seeing the whip kick coming, he suddenly slammed his raised fist out.

He doesn't need to care about any skills or techniques at all.

As long as you can react quickly enough and have enough strength, all other moves are just fancy footwork.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, Kiryu Ichiyo's raised whip kick came to a halt.

He was punched in the leg bone and stopped abruptly.

"hiss--"

Everyone gasped in shock at the sight.

That kick was incredibly powerful, yet this kid managed to block it with a punch?

And it seems that Kiryu-sama is the one who is at a disadvantage.

Those watching the match saw a fleeting look of pain on Kiryu Ichiyo's face.

"too weak."

Shimada Sho blocked the cold, mocking laughter.

Kiryu Ichiyo retreated swiftly without responding.

She moved again.

Despite the pain in his calves, he moved faster than ever before.

As he leaned forward, his right hand slashed out from his waist, palm facing up, aiming straight for Shimada Sho's neck. The movement was clean and swift, without any unnecessary frills.

Shimada Sho dodged to the side, his left hand cutting in from below, landing precisely on the inside of the arm, intercepting her trajectory before she could exert any force, and gently pulling her along.

Kiryu Ichiyo's body was swayed, and she struggled to maintain her balance. She slid her back foot half a step on the ground to regain her center of gravity, and then twisted her waist to deliver a low sweeping motion, aiming straight for Shimada Sho's supporting leg knee.

Unfortunately, Shimada Sho reacted even faster than her.

He casually lifted his leg to dodge, and at the same time, his toes touched the ground, and his body flew backward.

Kiryu Ichiyo changed her move quickly. After her low sweep missed, she twisted her body and delivered an elbow strike from the side, faster and more powerful than before.

Shimada Sho raised his forearm to block the blow to the side, taking the hit head-on with a dull thud.

Kiryu Ichiyo's elbow strike hit his forearm, causing his shoulder line to stiffen for a moment.

Just then, Shimada Sho's left arm, which had been hanging down, suddenly rose up with lightning speed.

The punch, which had been brewing for a long time, was unleashed with a bang.

The punch left a startling sound as it passed through the air.

Until it is finally implemented in practice—

"boom!"

With a dull thud, Kiryu Ichiyo's body staggered backward.

He retreated all the way to the edge of the field and hit the yellow line before he finally stopped.

Looking at her now, her face was deathly pale.

Obviously, taking a punch from Shimada Sho without holding back was not a pleasant experience.

"This……"

Sugita and the others, who were watching from the edge of the arena, stared at this scene in disbelief.

Their mouths were agape, their expressions as if they had seen a ghost.

"You...you won?"

"what happened!?"

"I'm not seeing things, am I?!"

They simply couldn't believe what they were seeing.

Originally, she was just a high school student working part-time at Rena's bar.

Suddenly, they offered to help resolve their conflict.

After bringing them here, they were treated with unusually respectful treatment by Owada Heavy Industries.

What does this mean now?

Kiryu Ichiyo, a renowned female thug in the yakuza, was subdued so easily.

Is this still the same waiter they know?

Even more shocked than them were the witnesses watching from the opposite side.

They experienced the whole process.

On previous occasions when the armed forces sent people over, the young lady would occasionally go on stage to fight if she felt like it.

Every move he makes is ruthless and vicious; he can inflict serious injury on someone in just a few moves.

If it weren't for the rule against death, some ruthless moves could even kill someone without holding back.

This ruthless female demon couldn't gain the slightest advantage over this high school student.

Seeing this result with their own eyes, the shock they felt was indescribable.

"We won! We won!"

The deathly silence was finally broken by a cheer.

He was one of Sugita's underlings.
