Having just figured out what was going on, Nogi Hideki quickly walked up to Soryuin Shion and sincerely apologized.
"I'm really sorry, I didn't expect that Izumi would come and bother you."
Fortunately, this young man stepped in and taught him a lesson, preventing him from repeating the mistake.
“It’s alright, he’s already chosen to swim in the sea, so I forgive his rude behavior,” Soryuin Shion replied casually.
Zhang Bairen didn't say anything, and turned back to Zhu Mei's side.
He found the polite exchanges and interactions between businessmen extremely boring.
This kind of problem can be left to the two sisters of the Soryuin family.
They possess the outstanding lineage of business elites.
"Excuse me, what's this young man's name?" Nogi Hideki suddenly looked at Zhang Bairen.
“Zhang Bairen, a fighter from Huangying Real Estate,” Zhang Bairen replied.
"Chinese people? Royal Cherry Real Estate?" Nogi Hideki's gaze quickly swept over Zhang Bairen and Zou Liuyuan Shion.
There are also experts in Chinese martial arts in the Quanyuan Tournament.
Wang Xiaohu of Yanmei Heavy Industry is a successor of the Chinese martial art of Jiyiquan. He possesses a unique skill that allows him to shield his body from pain. In the Kengan Tournament, he has only suffered two defeats.
He was defeated once by Kanao, the Fang of Destroyer, and once by Raijin Mirai Zero.
After the second defeat, the chairman of Iwami Heavy Industries invited the legendary mercenary Mutba Gizanga to serve as their fighter in this Kengan Deathmatch.
Well, in the world of Baki, Chinese martial arts have a pretty high level of prestige, and Guo Haihuang hasn't been nerfed yet.
However, in the Kengan world, the prestige of Chinese martial arts is somewhat low.
Although the Kengan series frequently mentions Chinese martial arts, such as Ryo Himuro's Jeet Kune Do, Mitsudo no Kiba's gu-breeding, Mutaba's pressure point and heart-piercing techniques, the bloodline inheritance of the Wu clan, and the black Xingyi Quan that imitates the Scud missile, as well as many other details, all bear the shadow of ancient China, but in reality, they are not very important.
Zhang Bairen declined to comment on this.
After all, it's a lighthearted anime; people can hype it up if they want, or not if they don't.
There's not much to say about that.
Seeing Nogi Hideki's keen interest, Zhang Bairen gave a brief reply and then ended the conversation.
A few minutes later, Chujianquan, soaking wet, ran back.
Incidentally, I also brought the latest news.
The luxury cruise ship that hosted the Kengan Suicide Match has finally been spotted.
About ten minutes later, an extremely luxurious large cruise ship slowly sailed into the port.
A group of cool, muscular men in black suits stepped off the luxury cruise ship.
These burly men in black are the Guardians, the private army of Kengan Association Chairman Katahara Metsudo!
Soon, the man in black who was leading the group walked up to them and shouted, "Sorry to keep you all waiting, we will now begin the boarding procedures!"
The noisy scene instantly fell silent.
The man in black continued, "First of all, those of you with invitations, please board the Kengan cruise ship here."
After the man finished speaking, all twenty-eight top capitalists who had received the invitation stepped out.
This includes Shion Souyuuin and Hideki Nogi.
"Next, those members who did not receive an invitation, please take your combatants and proceed to the cargo ship 'Death' over here." After saying this, the man in black pointed to the other side.
In the pitch-black sea, there was a dilapidated cargo ship swaying precariously.
"Zhu Mei, I'm going first. With the strength of a hundred ninjas, this assessment will be no challenge at all," said Souyuuin Shion, her expression calm.
"Okay, I understand." Zhu Mei nodded.
The two groups temporarily separated, and Zhang Bairen led Zhu Mei into the cargo ship, the Death Ship.
After everyone had boarded the ship, another burly man in black came out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience. Please pass through that door and enter another room," the man in black gestured.
"Then, everyone else, please go upstairs in an orderly fashion." The man in black pointed to the stairs beside him with his other hand.
Zhu Mei was a little nervous and unconsciously tightened her grip on Zhang Bairen's arm.
In response, Zhang Bairen gently explained, "Don't worry, I will be back as soon as possible."
This kind of assessment is a long-standing practice; Sister Ziyin had already informed us in advance.
Zhu Mei nodded slightly, not pressing the matter further.
"Okay, good luck!" Zhu Mei said, then released her hands.
After Zhu Mei went upstairs, Zhang Bairen followed the crowd toward the cargo ship's deck.
Everywhere you look, there are fierce-looking, super-muscular men.
These people are the professional fighters from various companies.
The approximate number should be over one hundred.
On the deck, everyone was wary of the unfamiliar fighters around them.
They had no idea why so many fighters had gathered together.
However, it is clear that this is by no means a normal arrangement.
Zhang Bairen entered relatively late, so he saw the Ten Demon Snake King Horse at the entrance.
At that moment, he was gesturing upstairs, indicating that he was thirsty and wanted to drink water.
Soon, the blonde secretary brought water and handed it to Wang Ma.
Just as the female secretary was about to leave, Wang Ma called out to her.
"Xiao Feng, wait a minute, what do you think is going on?" Wang Ma asked.
"What do you mean?" Akiyama Kaede asked with a surprised expression.
"It means exactly what it says; clearly, this situation is unusual..."
Before Wang Ma could finish speaking, Zhang Bairen interrupted him.
"Since you know this is unusual, why don't you get this lady out of here right away?"
"These are all fighters here, they're obviously going to fight, you idiot!" Zhang Bairen said helplessly.
"Huh?" Zhang Bairen's voice surprised Wang Ma.
Upon hearing this, Akiyama Kaede was instantly startled.
"Ma, Masaka!"
Without any hesitation, the blonde secretary turned and left.
Wang Ma looked at Zhang Bairen and immediately prepared for battle.
The battle at the port made him realize that the man in front of him was definitely a super expert!
"Don't be so nervous, I mean you no harm."
"The reminder I just gave was solely for that lady's safety," Zhang Bairen explained.
Upon hearing this, Wang Ma secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although he was arrogant, he wasn't stupid.
There is absolutely no benefit in rashly provoking Zhang Bairen.
The moment the blonde secretary left, the steel gate on the deck slammed shut.
Zhang Bairen's well-intentioned reminder has been proven true.
"Phew, that was close! I was almost a step too late!" Outside the gate, Akiyama Kaede patted his chest.
At that moment, an explanation came from the cargo ship's loudspeaker.
"Dear employers and fighters, thank you for waiting. Our ship is about to set sail."
At the same time, I would also like to announce the commencement of the preliminary rounds of the Kengan Zemei elimination tournament!
This notice made the fighters on the deck even more vigilant.
On the upper floors, some of the more senior members of the Kwon group also expressed their surprise and astonishment.
"A total of 152 teams participated in this elimination round."
Of the 152 companies, 28 were top-tier companies that received invitations from Chairman Katahara; they were the seeded teams that directly advanced to the finals.
Only five companies can make it to the finals.
Therefore, everyone in the arena, please engage in a no-holds-barred free-for-all!
The voice paused for a moment, then continued narrating.
"From this moment forward, for whatever reason, none of you may have contact with your fellow fighters before the final five are decided!"
Please watch the game patiently from above the competition venue.
Of course, you can also participate in small gambling games; those who are confident in their predictions can place bets with confidence.
After the sound ended, there was a moment of silence.
Then, a fierce melee erupted.
