Chapter 79 - Beginning
As Togo said, before long, they arrived at the port which was located near Tokyo Bay.
The port was quite deserted, and the light was quite limited, but for Shishio, who had "Enhanced Vision", he could clearly see his surroundings as clear as a day. Watching his surroundings, he could see some guards that were patrolling around the port, and there were a lot of containers stacked one after another.??
The car moved around for a while until they stopped at a warehouse, but clearly, there was something weird about this warehouse since there were a lot of guards that were guarded outside and there were also a lot of luxurious cars around this warehouse, which made him think that it was a very strange sight.
If Shishio didn't know anything, he thought that he might have come to a secret party or it was a place where Togo might keep him after she kidnapped him, but he knew that this place was a venue for the "Kengan Match".
Togo's secretary, Yurihama Fusae, explained to Shishio that "Kengan Match" had a lot of venues which scattered around Tokyo and the nearby areas, and as the members of the "Kengan Association", they would receive information on where the "Kengan Match" would be held from time to time.
<Target has been found!>
<Congratulations, you have received 500 million yen>
"Sometimes, they hold it on the abandoned building, a food factory, warehouse..." Fusae explained.
"I see." Shishio nodded, but he didn't seem that impressed by Fusae's explanation since he felt that it was normal to have a lot of venues, considering the members of the "Kengan Association" were those companies owners, CEOs, famous celebrities, etc, or rather, most of the people with power and authority within this country, but still, he was grateful for the reward.
Shishio knew that "Kengan Association" was like those secret organizations that were founded by people with a lot of powers in his previous life and he also had joined one in the past since, by joining that organization, he could know a lot of important people, increased his network, and it was also possible to get more clients for his company since most members were someone with a lot of money and authority, but of course, there was no underground fight like the "Kengan Match".
"Rather than telling you by mouth, let's go inside, so you can understand better what "Kengan Match" is," Togo said directly, stopping Fusae, who had been explaining the matter of "Kengan Match" and Kengan Association" to Shishio.
Fusae was helpless, but she also had gotten used to Togo's antics, so she didn't say much.
The door was opened by Togo's bodyguards, and the three of them came out one by one, but before Shishio went out, he put a facemask on his face.
Togo looked at Shishio, who put on his facemask, and nodded since she felt that it was troublesome for someone to ask the relationship between them since she knew how handsome this guy was. Even though she didn't care about their opinions, she didn't want some strange gossip to enter Shishio's grandfather's ears after all since Shishio's grandfather was her big client.
Shishio came out, following everyone, but then, his phone vibrated. He raised his eyebrow and saw that Nana had called him out. "Tomari-san, can I answer this phone first?"
"Yeah, but don't talk too long," Togo said and waved her hand, thinking the one who had called him was one of the two bitches that she had seen earlier.
If Shishio knew what Togo was thinking, he could only shake his head helplessly since he knew it was impossible to change Togo's blunt and vulgar personality. He didn't stay too far from Togo and her group, taking off his facemask, then accepted Nana's call.
"Nana, what's wrong?" Shishio asked.
"What? I can't call you if, there's nothing?"
Shishio could tell that Nana seemed to be pouted and annoyed. He shook his head and wondered whether his charm was so big that he could make a lot of girls fall for him.
"No, in truth, I also want to talk with you, but I'm outside now, and I can't talk too long," Shishio said sincerely.
"Oh? Are you still with that big sister?" Nana asked, but her tone seemed quite cheerful when she heard that Shishio also wanted to talk with him.
"Yes." Shishio nodded and didn't hide anything.
"So who is she? Your relative?" Nana asked.
"No, she's my grandfather's friend. I've just arrived in Tokyo after all so she introduces me to Tokyo," Shishio said since there was no way for him to tell that Togo had asked to fight on the "Kengan Match".
"Ah, I'm so jelly! That means that you're having fun, right?" Nana seemed pretty jealous when she heard it.
"Um, yeah."
"That's not fair! I want to go out and play too!"
"...."
Shishio could tell from Nana's sentence, she also wanted to go out to play, or rather, she tried to invite him to play indirectly, but when he knew that he was quite busy this week since he needed to take care of the matter of the "Kengan Match" and based on what Togo had told him, the "Kengan Match" would be held on Saturday night.
"I might be busy this week, but if you don't mind, how about we go out together next week?"
Shishio was also curious about the karaoke chains that he had received before and wanted to visit them.
"That's great! Let's go out and play next week!" Nana was happy when she heard it.
"By the way, this isn't the reason why you have called me, right?"
"Oh, right!" Nana only remembered the reason why she called him and quickly said, "I want to ask your help to bring the game console from my Onee-chan's dorm, but if you're busy, then it is alright." In truth, her intention to ask him for help was because she wanted to be with him longer and she thought that there might be some chance that their relationship would become even closer, but after all, their relationship hadn't reached that stage yet and she also didn't want to cause him trouble too so if her request caused him trouble, she would do it by herself.
"Well, I don't mind helping you." Shishio thought for a while and said, "I have a motorcycle, so we can go there faster." In the past, he had received parking parts and in that parking park, there were a lot of vehicles from cars, motorcycles, scooters, bicycles, buses, etc there.
"What? Do you have a motorcycle?" Nana seemed quite surprised.
"Yes, but let's talk about this matter tomorrow since I have been called," Shishio said and decided to stop the conversation since he could see that Togo was quite impatient already.
"Alright! See you tomorrow!" Nana said cheerfully.
"Yes, see you tomorrow, and good night, Nana," Shishio said with a smile.
"Good night!"
Shishio ended the call, then walked to Togo. "It's done." He put on his facemask again and covered most of his face with his long hair.
Togo nodded and didn't say much. "Good, let's go."
Then Shishio, Togo, and Togo's subordinates walked to the venue and as expected, their group attracted the eyes of everyone on the stage, after all, Togo was a very famous public figure, and her appearance caused a gasp on some people on the venue since no one expected this crazy woman to appear.
Shishio was unfazed, and only glanced at some people, feeling that he had seen some of those people on the television in the past, but that was all since they were strangers and they had nothing to do with him.
Shishio knew that rather than thinking about those strangers, he needed to understand the "Kengan Match" better by observing the match that was about to be held soon. He observed the interior of the venue and could pretty much tell that it was pretty much like an old building, but he also understood that they didn't want to attract attention so they held the "Kengan Match" in such a place.
"By the way, who is fighting?" Shishio asked.
"Fusae," Togo called out her secretary's name directly.
Fusae nodded and said, "Today, there's a match between Nogi Group and Yoshitake Yoshiro."
"What about the deal?" Shishio asked.
"The deal that is made here is a right to construct the new Makunoichi building. The winner of this "Kengan Match" is going to have the right to build a skyscraper worth ten billion yen," Fusae said directly without, checking her memo as if she had remembered it before.
"I see." Shishio nodded and asked, "Is the deal always this big?" He wasn't that surprised by the amount of money, but he was wondering whether all the deals that were fought on the "Kengan Match" would be this big since he didn't think that all the matches that happened on the "Kengan Match" would be all serious about the deal between companies and there might be some matches that were intended to entertain all people in the venue.
After all, unlike a public fighting arena, Shishio knew that in this underground fighting arena, someone might die.
Fusae thought for a bit and said, "It's a mixed, after all, a lot of companies have conflict every day so it is normal if there's a fight every day, and there's also a fight that is intended to entertain all the members and guests in this venue too, but the deal of this fight is quite big, and because of that you can see famous CEOs here." She didn't point her finger and only glanced at some CEOs of famous big companies in this country.
Shishio nodded, didn't care much about famous CEOs in this place, and asked, "Can I put a bet on this match?"
"Yes, you can make a bet on this match." Fusae nodded.
"What's wrong? You want to put a bet on this match?" Togo asked.
"Yes." Shishio thought that it would be wasteful to not put a bet, considering he knew about those people here and when he heard the name of two companies that were going on the match today, he knew very well who would be the winner in this "Kengan Match" so he didn't hesitate to put his bet.
Making up his mind, Shishio then raised his eyebrow since he noticed there were a lot of strong fighters. He looked around and saw a man more than two meters tall, a man with very interesting muscles, an elderly man with a group of strong people that surrounded him. He might not realize it, but the face under his facemask, at this moment, he might not have realized it, but he showed an eager smile. "Tomari-san."
"What's wrong?"
"This place is interesting," Shishio said.
Tomari looked at Shishio and thought that he had been hooked, after all, as a martial artist, it was normal for them to want to become the strongest and she could feel Shishio also could see that he was very eager to fight. She also had a smile on her face and said, "Let's get a better place so we can watch the match better, and after this match, I'll explain to you more about the detail of my request."
Shishio nodded and walked beside Togo.
When both of them walked, Shishio could feel that he attracted a lot of attention, but he ignored them, walking with a strong stride like a king of lions.
