126 Being too lucky isn't that good
When the matches finished and everyone talked about the new underground fighting arena excitedly, Masa left with Nozomi, Hana, and Ichika to a good chinese restaurant nearby.
"You're not going to go after him, Rino?"
A man with a Sasuke-like hairstyle expressionlessly stared at Masa's back, then Rino. If Rino told him that she was going to meet another man, then he would be jealous and even try to kill that person, but this young man was different, and he even spent quite a while dressing up.
Still, he never knew that this young man was so... enigmatic and unique, but thinking of the young man's relationship with Rino, he felt that it was normal, he thought.
"Fufufu..." Rino only chuckled and said, "It's fine. There will be a lot of chances in the future." Her expression was gentle and charming as always, yet inside, no one really knew.
---
"CHEERS!" 4x
While Masa didn't drink alcohol, he took a sip of cold tea as he enjoyed the feast.
"It's great we get a lot of money!"
"There is none of our information there! It's great that those fighters are so obedient that they don't dare to say anything."
Still, while Ichika and Hana were happy with the success of their first underground fighter ground, Masa and Nozomi were as cool-headed as ever.
"Nope, if this continues, then it won't work."
"Huh?" 2x
Before Nozomi said anything, she glanced at Masa, who said, "You are more familiar with this matter than I am, Nozomi-nee. I will just listen."
"Okay, then."
Nozomi knew that Masa knew what was the best way to develop this underground fighting arena, but he gave the stage to her since she was the co-founder of this place, and Masa was just an inventor, so she quickly told everything that she needed to say to make this venture successful.
"Is it a failure?"
"No, it isn't a failure, and it's a success, but if this continues, then it won't be good."
Yes, everything in the beginning was good, but if this continued, then everyone would be bored, especially when the intensity was something that couldn't be found in the public fighting arenas.
"Moreover, the audience."
The audience from that first fight was nothing but the friends of those fighters; they were as good as paupers, and to make everything work, they needed to have a wealthier fighter.
"Lastly, more importantly, we need charismatic fighters that can draw people like magnets."
When Masa heard those words, a picture of one girl suddenly emerged in his mind, which made his lips twitch, but considering the danger of that girl, he decided to remain silent since he didn't think that the three of them could control this girl.
Heck, instead, he believed that this girl would be the one who controlled these three.
Nevertheless, in summary, to make this place successful, one needed good fighters that could provide the audience, especially the wealthy ones, a good fight.
It was as simple as that, and as for the rest, it could be managed easily, especially when they didn't lack a resource from Masa, Hana, and Ichika.
Still, there was one question that they wanted to ask.
"Why was that "Queen of Night" there?"
Kurayoshi Rino.
This was a famous figure, and whether it was Nozomi, Haha, or Ichika, the three of them were familiar with Rino, as she was a famous businesswoman and also the CEO of "Gold Pleasure Group," which was known as the one of the largest leisure businesses in the country.
Now, what is leisure?
Well, it was clear, right?
Still, this business wasn't as vulgar as prostitution since, in this country, there was a job known as a hostess, which was a woman who accompanied someone to drink. Naturally, if the relationship between the customer and the hostess were good, and they had a connection, then it might not be impossible for the two to have a further relationship.
Nevertheless, while the main business of the "Gold Leisure Group" was a club, it was also a real estate company that leveraged the value of the land by using the club, similar to Starbucks, but in a night industry, and using that money to expand even further, and probably became one of the biggest players in this sector of business.
Still, due to that, Rino often used Masa's service since his "Merging & Acquisition" was fast.
Nevertheless, the "Gold Leisure Group" was a huge company in this country with Rino as the CEO, the helm, and the leader of this group, so why did someone like her come to a small underground fighting arena that had just opened?
Somehow, the three stared at Masa at the same time with blank gazes.
Masa's lips twitched and asked, "Do you think I have a relationship with her?"
"Aren't you?" 3x
"She might be my client, but I just met her several times to help her acquire various clubs in Tokyo and other cities."
Yup, it wasn't his first time to meet Rino, but it was just once, and even if she was beautiful, he, who was quite conservative, didn't have much of an interest in her since, in his mind, he just wanted to make money at that time, and he also had a girlfriend. More importantly, he didn't have to have women from the night industry.
He knew that his choice of words might make him labeled as discriminated against, but it was just a matter of taste, okay?
After all, what kind of man was okay with having their woman work at night to serve another man at night?
While no sex was involved, Masa couldn't accept his women to have such a job.
"You know my "Merging and Acquisition" company, right? In the beginning, I helped a lot, but as it grew and many started to use the service, I worked behind the scenes, and I hardly met her after that, especially after I expanded my market globally."
Masa often met Rino, but his attitude was rather flat, and he treated her like a customer even though she appeared to want a closer relationship. Still, once again, he had a girlfriend, and he didn't have any plans to go further with such a woman.
"Did you tell her about this underground fighting arena?"
"If I do, then all of your audience won't be paupers, okay?"
"...." Nozomi, Hana, and Ichika.
Masa didn't want them to have a big venue directly and invited all of the people he knew, but slowly accumulated their experiences before he helped them to go all out, and they also understood that, so they didn't say much.
Still—
"Then, why didn't you greet her before?"
After all, if Rino was Masa's big client, then why didn't he greet her?"
"I am in disguise, and I am too lazy to do business at that time."
"Well, that's true. You have been working too hard lately."
"Yup, resting is important."
Anyway, Rino wouldn't know that it was Masa as he wore his disguise, and probably, she had just visited the area curiously because she happened to be nearby.
Still, Nozomi pouted at Masa since she knew well that the reason why Masa didn't greet Rino was her, but then again, strangely enough, she was pleased.
"Anyway, it's all a good start! Let's have a party first!"
"OOOOOOOOHHHH!" 3x
While there were many things that they had to fix, overall, this venture achieved success, and they thought to celebrate it.
"Don't drink too much! If you are drunk, then I will take care of you, right? I have to go to school tomorrow!"
After hearing the last sentence, the three quickly stopped since Masa had gone to school.
"Then, let's continue our party at Masa's house!"
"OH!"
"...." Masa and Nozomi.
Still, as the two of them stayed at their house, they didn't think too much, and they just thought about continuing their party, but probably, they had been lucky that they were unlucky now.
"Wow, one man with three women, aren't you so lucky?"
"Boy, care to share some with us?!"
"Oi, three Onee-chans, just ditch him, and all of us will give you a heaven~!"
"..." 4x
Watching a group of people with a strange get-up and pompadour hairstyles staring lustfully at Nozomi, Ichika, and Hana.
No, it should be all of them staring at Hana, who was the most beautiful and took care of her beauty the most.
Yet, there was no doubt this was a troublesome situation for them.

127 Night of Fight
less"Bousouzoku?"
When Masa, Nozomi, Ichika, and Hana saw the group of people dressed up before them, they thought that this was the biker gang group known as Bousouzoku.
Most were usually less than 20, but many were also up to 20, and they also had a close tie to the yakuza, as many of them were a yakuza member.
Nevertheless, it was Masa's first time seeing them since they were as good as an endangered species.
Wearing white boilersuits similar to those of manual laborers with baggy pants and tall boots, all of the men even wore their hair in pompadours as they walked arrogantly and opened their legs wide, seemingly looking at everything in disdain.
Whenever this group of five walked, everyone would move away, giving them a path, which made their ego even further, thinking that this place was nothing.
Kabukichou?
So what?
In front of their might, sooner or later, they would conquer this place and become the emperor of the night!
Still—
"It's been a while since I saw them."
"They are as good as endangered species now, especially when all the young are eager to become TikTokers or YouTubers."
"Fufufu, how cute."
"...." 5x
Masa looked at the five of them and thought that they were just a few years older than him. "It's their first time here, it seems." Unlike him, who was experienced, he could tell that those five were virgins, especially when their eyes widened open, their breathing became haggard, and they flushed in excitement whenever they saw a beautiful woman.
However, instead of going to those hostesses or prostitutes who dressed themselves openly and revealingly, they went after his group, who dressed conservatively, showing their lack of experience.
"Ah, you mean like a field trip?"
"You make them sound even cuter."
"Probably, all of them are even virgins."
Whether it was Nozomi, Hana, or Ichika, no one feared this group of biker gangs, and all of them even laughed happily, watching a group of clowns that danced before them.
Yet, why should they fear?
Nozomi was a professional fighter, and she had many friends who were martial artists.
Hana was a leader of a quite large yakuza group.
Meanwhile, Ichika was a fucking police inspector!
If they combined together, who would dare to cause them trouble?
On the other hand, Masa... Masa... was there even a need to explain?
"What are you laughing there, bitches?!"
"Dammit, how dare you look down on us?!"
"Beat them first!"
However, before the three of them wanted to teach those greenhorns a lesson, Masa had beaten them up first.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
One hit, one fell, and all of their teeth were broken as they were wailing in pain or passed out directly.
"Hiiiii!!!"
Still, Masa let go of one of the group, seemingly ready to plan something.
"...." Nozomi, Ichika, and Hana.
"You can fight Masa?"
This was their first time seeing Masa fighting.
Yes, his body was good as he trained well, but he had never practiced a martial art, after all, despite his older sister being a martial artist and a professional fighter.
Still, when Masa moved before, his movements were so smooth, and his punches didn't have any wasted movements, only focusing on defeating his opponents as soon as possible.
"I do."
"When did you train?! Also, what kind of martial arts did you learn? Isn't your action like a trained soldier or something?"
There was no doubt that his act of taking down many people at once so professionally, like a seasoned soldier, stunned Nozomi, Ichika, and Hana, including the crowd that was attracted by the commotion.
"Ah!"
Some people wanted to take a picture, but somehow, their cameras or smartphones busted all of a sudden.
Rather, all the camera-like devices in the area, including the internet, radio, and all communication devices, were under Masa's control.
"I just watched, okay? I never trained professionally except for going to the gym."
What could he say?
While his older sister started and wished to know how he could become such a powerful fighter, he could only say that he was a genius and just copied everything he knew from what he saw.
"...." Nozomi, Ichika, and Hana.
If it was someone else, they would scoff at him, but thinking about Masa, who had been so smart and even built such a gigantic firm in a short amount of time, they felt like... it was normal, they thought.
"So, should we go now?" Hana asked.
"No, let's wait. I am sure the rest will come here." Masa looked at Hana and Ichika, then said, "Can you take care of the rest?"
"Leave that to us." 2x
The two quickly nodded, thinking that it was a time to show their loyalty, and more importantly, how could this group of kids dare to trouble them?
Yes, the law might not be able to handle them as they were all minors, but who were they?
They were the law!
Nozomi also didn't say much, but she knew well that as they had entered this industry, if they were provoked, they had to fight back, or else, their reputation would be lost, and they would be taken down by others.
In this country, instead of being known as kind, it was better to be feared, so at this moment, they decided to take down this biker gang all together.
"Hey, Ohma, what are you doing?"
"Aren't we going back?"
A short middle-aged man and a beautiful young woman with a secretary-like outfit stared at the young man with a seaweed-like hairstyle.
"Something fun is about to begin. Let's wait for a while."
As he said so, he looked at Masa; all of his attention was on Masa, who wore a disguise, yet even so, he could tell that Masa was strong.
Nevertheless, the reaction of the biker gang was faster than they imagined.
Hana was about to call her subordinates, but a loud biker sound was heard, and a group of people suddenly rode into the Kabukichou without caring about anything.
BROOOM! BROOOM! BROOOM!
The sound of the bikers was too loud, especially when the mufflers were modified, and when all of them gathered, it created an intense sound that could even shatter the glasses and cause the ground to shake.
Naturally, this attracted the attention of many, and while some were hiding, many also looked at the crowd curiously.
After all, this was Kabukichou; it was normal for a fight to happen every day, yet it was rare to see such a huge scale.
"ORAAA! ORAAAA!"
"GET THE HELL OUT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE BEATEN!"
"WHO THE FUCK DARES TO PROVOKE US, THE EMPERORS OF EVIL, GRANDIA!"
"....." Masa, Nozomi, Ichika, and Hana.
"Do we need to come out?"
"It seems okay. The young master doesn't appear to be afraid."
"Yeah, he seems strong. Let's wait for a while."
"Yeah."
Masa glanced at the corner before his attention was brought by Ichika, who was smoking annoyedly. "Damn, those thugs! How dare they cause trouble here?!"
"Oh... it seems that the fishes on Tokyo Bay are going to be full tonight." Hana was smiling softly, yet her eyes were frightening.
"....." Masa and Nozomi.
Yup, even if there seemed to be hundreds of biker gang members, no one appeared to be afraid.
Like a triangle, everyone followed the large man, who appeared to be the leader of this biker gang.
"Was he the one who beat all of you?"
"Y-Yes, Sir!"
While there was Nozomi, Ichika, and Hana, all the eyes were on Masa subconsciously, even if he wore a disguise.
All of the biker gang members wore a similar uniform, and they held weapons in their hands, whether it was a wooden sword, biker's gears, or other mechanical tools, seemingly ready to show their might and the consequences to provoke their gang.
"Should I handle this?" Ichika put her hand on her jacket, ready to take out the real deal. Yes, for the police like her, it would be terrible if she took out the firearm on her jacket, but then again, she had a backing, so there was nothing to be worried about.
"It's fine. I can handle this."
"Are you sure?" Nozomi asked worriedly.
"Though, help me to handle the aftermath."
"Leave that to me." Hana smiled softly.
Frankly, whether it was Hana, Ichika, or Nozomi, they were all curious about Masa's skill, and as he had confidence, they let him go, especially when he had weapons on his jacket, too.
Heck, his weapons were more advanced than them, and they were something that could only be found on the battlefield in Africa or the Middle East!
"No one can get away from provoking us!"
The leader of the biker gang looked at Masa arrogantly. "Watanabe."
"Yes, Sir!"
"I will take the lead. You take care of psyching up the underlings!"
"Yes, Sir!"
A follower of the leader suddenly took a deep breath, then shouted, "WHO'S THE STRONGEST TEAM OF THEM ALL?!"
"GRANDIA!! GRANDIA!!"
"WHO'S GREATEST THEM ALL?!"
"GRANDIA!! GRANDIA!!"
"GOOD!! NOW, THERE IS A RETARDED WHO PICKED UP A FIGHT WITH THE GREATEST AND STRONGEST TEAM!! AND IT'S THAT RICH BOY BASTARD!! SO, WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?!"
"KILL HIM!!"
"MAKE HIM PAY!!"
"TAKE HIS WOMEN!!"
"GRANDIAAAAAA!!!"
Yet, Masa was too lazy to wait for them to finish their talk and beat all of them mercilessly.
Starting with the leader who looked smug, the one who shouted the most, and the rest.
No one could escape; the moment Masa entered, he was like a predator that entered the pack of herbivores. Those who had a spirit quickly became cowards, and all of them wished to run away. Unfortunately, none of them could run away, and they were all beaten up without mercy before he stacked them like a mountain.
"...." Everyone.
"Hana, take care of the rest."
"Y-Yes."
Hana nodded, knowing that Masa had given her group a chance to make the others fear her, as she had a strong fighter under her.
In the world of yakuza, a war still happened, especially when one wanted to expand.
Hana, who had expanded, knew that sooner or later, she would be targeted, so there was no doubt that having Masa, who could fight, was like a blessing since he could act as a deterrent to those who dared to cause trouble.
It was like that certain country that had a nuclear bomb, which made the other cautious and didn't dare to make a move on this country even if this country was poor and small.
Nevertheless, those who saw Masa's skill could only come to a single conclusion: strong.
Nozomi, Ichika, and Nozomi were dumbfounded, thinking that a genius was different, but—
Clap! Clap! Clap!
"It's a good fight."
Suddenly, a man with long seaweed-like hair walked toward Masa, and he grinned with a beastly smile. "But don't you feel bored fighting with those small fries? How about I accompany you since I have free time here."
"....."
Masa fell silent, realizing the fight was more popular in this world than he had thought.
