"Wow, what an unexpectedly grand scene." Rito, who was walking at the front, was the first to see the black-clad guards lined up on the Kengan, as well as Katahara Metsudou sitting at the very front.
Zhang Bairen glanced at it, then curled his lip in disdain.
This was just a small trick by Katahara Mitsudokoro. In order to show his authority and to crush the arrogance of the new fighters, he arranged for an inside man to put on a show of establishing his prestige.
There are 28 top-tier companies that do not require a preliminary round.
The number of people who passed the preliminary round was exactly five.
Twenty-eight plus five doesn't make any sense.
Even numbers are suitable for scheduling matchups; odd numbers will result in one extra person.
Having read the comic, Zhang Bairen knew the plot well.
Hasard, a prince from a small kingdom in the Nakadon region, is an inside man for Katahara Mitsudo. He will soon cause trouble and be easily knocked into the sea by Katahara Mitsudo's guards.
In this way, the number of people is reasonable, and one's authority is established.
Sure enough, as Katahara Metsudo began to speak, Hassad, dressed in the attire of a wealthy man from the middle of the building, stepped out from the crowd.
"Um, is there something you need, Hassad?" Katahara Metsudo asked.
Hassad then reached out and removed his white hood, revealing a young, handsome, and rugged face.
"Ha...Hassad, don't do this!" Suzuki Eisaku, the president of Belushi Oil Company and Hassad's employer, called out nervously in a low voice.
"Chairman Katahara, I have a question for you." Hassad's tone was both serious and earnest.
"Oh?" Katahara Metsudo, leaning on his cane, stared calmly at Hassad.
"Why do you only want us to participate in the preliminary round?"
"I hope you can explain this properly!" Hassad said, taking two steps forward.
"Besides our strength, what other factors did you consider?!" Hassad continued to press.
Suddenly, Katahara Metsudou roared, interrupting Hassad's questioning.
"Don't get too cocky, you disrespectful brat!"
"Uh, Nani?" Hassad was taken aback.
At this moment, Katahara Metsudou opened his eyes wide and stared intently at Hassad.
"The teams that don't need to go through the preliminary rounds are top-ranked companies within the Kengan Association, and their preliminary results are outstanding!" Katahara Metsudo explained.
"Company rankings...?" Hassad asked, somewhat surprised.
"That's right, it's the company ranking!"
We live in a world of cutthroat competition and the pursuit of dominance among commercial corporations!
How dare you, a mere tool, question the decisions of a business leader!
"Get this straight, you fighters are nothing but pawns!!" Katahara Metsudou roared, clenching his fist.
"Then let you have a taste..."
Before Hassad could finish speaking, Zhang Bairen placed his hand on his shoulder.
"Bai Ren!" Zhu Mei was a little nervous. She didn't know why Zhang Bai Ren had taken the initiative to step forward.
"Hey, old man, I can pretend I didn't hear you calling him a pawn, since you're all in cahoots."
"But you've included all the fighters, aren't you afraid of getting beaten up on the spot?!" Zhang Bairen stepped past Hasad and stood in front of Katahara Mitsudo.
"Oh? Do you have any objections to what I said?" Katahara Metsudo narrowed his eyes and continued to ask.
Hassad was somewhat surprised. This guy doesn't play by the rules. Why couldn't you stand the provocation and stepped forward on your own initiative?
"Chairman Katahara, do you still remember the original intention and purpose of the Kengan Association?" Zhang Bairen asked.
At the same time, the group live stream started.
Zhang Bairen, who is already invincible, is finally going to cause trouble!
Others may be afraid of this old man, but Zhang Bairen is not.
Ordinary firearms posed little threat to Zhang Bairen.
The sheer number of people posed no threat to Zhang Bairen.
Even when facing the military, there is enough time to react, allowing them to call for reinforcements and launch a coordinated counterattack.
The small world of Kengan is not enough for Zhang Bairen to keep a low profile.
Upon hearing the live stream notification, the group, who had already eaten dinner, quickly entered the live stream room to watch the drama unfold.
Baki Zhang Bairen: "Here we go! Any new entertainment to watch today?"
Pirate Zhang Bairen: "Need military support? You can borrow a knife if you want!"
Hokage Zhang Bairen: "Brothers, I've recently purchased a lot of ninjutsu, and I've even secretly mastered tree climbing and water walking. Once I sell the goods, I'll hire Kakuzu as my teacher!"
Baki Zhang Bairen: "Keep it up! We both have pretty good talent. As long as you're willing to work hard, you'll definitely rise to prominence quickly!"
Pirate Zhang Bairen: "Climbing trees and walking on water? What a skill! I'll share it quickly so I can run on the sea too."
Kengan Zhang Bairen: "Brothers, we'll share more later. First, watch me slap Katahara Mitsudo in the face!"
Naruto Zhang Bairen: "Alright, bro!"
That's right, Naruto Zhang Bairen is also quite young.
Or rather, most people in the ninja world are very young.
Currently, only Baki Zhang Bairen and Kengan Zhang Bairen, the two Zhang Bairen from the fighting game world, have reached the age of eighteen.
Zhang Bairen is currently the youngest in the One Piece world, at only twelve years old.
In the Naruto world, Zhang Bairen was only fifteen years old.
On the Kengan, Katahara Metsudo looked at Zhang Bairen and answered the question.
"The original intention and purpose of the Kengan Association is to better resolve commercial disputes."
Violence is always the best way to resolve disputes.
"Might makes right." Katahara Metsudo paused for a moment, then continued.
"You don't actually think you have the ability to escape being a pawn, do you?"
At this point, Katahara Metsudo laughed.
He was laughing; this young man was far too ungrateful.
How can an individual's strength rival the strength of a collective?
As the top president of Dai-Nichiben Bank, Katahara Metsudo, who possesses extreme power and wealth, has always been extremely confident in the strength that comes with power.
Putting aside everything else, no one can rival the Fang of Annihilation Hall, no one can stop the Wu clan, and their personal guards provide absolute defense.
Is there anyone in this world who can threaten me?
Katahara Metsudo really couldn't think of anything.
In his eyes, everyone else was just a pawn or a discarded piece.
Even ordinary people don't even have the qualifications to become pawns.
"President Katahara, you're not senile yet."
In this world, fists will ultimately prevail!
Whether it's a business dispute, a personal grudge, or an international conflict, might makes right.
"With strength comes truth!" Zhang Bairen said, and began to stride forward.
"Coincidentally, I believe I possess absolute strength!"
At this moment, Zhang Bairen had already taken several steps forward.
Hassad quickly reached out, trying to stop Zhang Bairen.
However, his palm brushed past Zhang Bairen's illusory image, and even he himself almost fell to the ground.
