"You two be careful."

"I feel that this competition is suspected of being rigged."

The two nodded silently.

If they win the fourth round, they will successfully advance to the semifinals.

For safety's sake, both players went all out, launching continuous attacks and successfully securing victory in the match.

However, after entering the semi-finals, Gangzi also noticed that something was wrong.

The boss kept glancing at the people from Longteng.

As expected, Red Hair and his brother ran into each other in the semifinals.

Gangzi frowned. He also noticed that this competition was clearly different from the previous ones. It seemed as if someone was manipulating things behind the scenes and forcibly arranging everyone together.

However, the opponents they found were not very strong, which allowed Red Hair and his group to advance to the next round.

Unfortunately, when they reached the semifinals, Red Hair was also in tears as he looked at his brothers beside him.

"Brother, I don't want to eliminate you!"

"But there's no other way!"

"Now that's all that's left, I have no choice but to..."

20 minutes later.

Red Hair beat his chest and stamped his feet in frustration in front of the arcade machine.

"We promised to play Iori Yagami and Kyo Kusanagi together!"

"Why did you secretly practice Mai Shiranui?!"

"You're shameless! You're despicable!"

Red Hair's brother awkwardly scratched his nose, avoiding his brother's gaze.

Upon entering the finals, the red-haired brother was already exceptionally strong, and in the finals, he defeated three opponents in a row.

This action completely stunned his opponent in the match.

The other person stared wide-eyed at the red-haired brother and couldn't help but ask the question that had been bothering him.

"Brother, tell me the truth, what was your ranking in the Dragon Cup?"

Red Hair's brother glanced at his friend beside him, too lazy to pay him any attention.

Only the red-haired guy came up and explained, all smiles.

"I reached the top 16 in the Dragon Cup, that's not impressive."

"My brother made it to the semifinals of the Dragon Cup, which is not bad."

"The one we lost to is this year's champion."

Upon hearing this, the guy who had just lost the game was dumbfounded.

You told me I was coming to compete, and not only did I play against two top-20 players from the Dragon Cup, but those two players also lost to the champion this year.

To put it bluntly, if these two had a different opponent, they would definitely have made it into the top two or top four.

Many spectators around were also shocked; they hadn't expected the Dragon Team to be so powerful.

When Gangzi arrived at the Street Fighter team, he finally realized that the boss here was here to cause trouble.

Putting everything else aside, the schedule itself is very strange.

Who would say that their own rivals are working together?

Before the Street Fighter group competition began, Gangzi gave a strict order: the strongest of the four would directly advance to the finals.

Given the precedent set by King of Fighters, this boss is very likely to cause trouble and make them collide right in front of each other.

Gangzi also let them choose one person to be guaranteed a spot in the next round.

After careful selection, they decided to let the strongest person among them advance.

Everything turned out exactly as Gangzi had predicted.

In the first round, they had an internal battle between the two of them, while the other two were scattered to fight against other people, and their opponents were all very strong.

In the first round of the Street Fighter group, a young man with an afro was also given a free pass.

The Longteng team member who was facing him forfeited.

This has caused dissatisfaction among many people in the surrounding area.

"Hey! What does that mean?!"

"No, you're just forfeiting without even playing? You're afraid of him?"

"What's the point of all this?! We might as well just give you a direct admission!"

The Dragon Cup team members who forfeited also rolled their eyes.

"He's the runner-up in Street Fighter, it would be a miracle if I could beat him."

After these words were spoken, the people around fell silent.

The number of Street Fighter participants in this year's Dragon Cup was almost twice that of King of Fighters. The fact that he managed to win the runner-up position in such a brutal competition proves just how terrifying his strength is.

The boss on the other side also realized something was wrong, and arranged another internal battle in the second round.

As expected, the Dragon Team decisively chose to forfeit.

This further fueled public outrage at the scene.

"Holy crap! You're not even going to fight! What will you do if you lose when you run into someone who's not on your team?!"

"Exactly, isn't this pointless! Why even sign up if you're not going to compete!"

"A cover-up! A cover-up! A cover-up!"

Many people started hawking their wares.

The boss realized something was wrong and promptly arranged for other contestants to participate in the third round, wanting to see the strength of this guy with the afro.

After realizing that it wasn't an internal battle within the Dragon Team, those around him were filled with curiosity about the man with the afro.

Everyone wants to know just how strong this guy really is.

The man with the afro sat arrogantly to the side, lit a cigarette and put it in the ashtray, and spoke to his opponent provocatively.

"Hit you!?"

"It won't even take me the time it takes to smoke a cigarette!"

The opponent was also gritting their teeth.

"Damn! Want to give it a try?"

Although the guy with the afro has a sharp tongue, his strength is undeniable.

In the best-of-one match, the player with the afro only had one life left but managed to take down his opponent's two lives, decisively shutting out his opponent.

The entire process didn't even take a minute.

The opponent didn't even have a chance to make a move before losing two lives.

After the match, the afro-haired guy's opponent was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Instead, the man with the afro leisurely picked up a cigarette, flicked off a bit of ash, and took a leisurely puff.

What did I say?
