【Comprehensive Anime】Gender-swapped Tomie is a popular figure
Chapter 23 Golden Club⑤
He stretched out his palm, and there was a small brown thorn.
Kuroba Kaito humbly removed the small thorn and threw it into his pocket.
"I think it suits your temperament better. Beauty always has thorns, doesn't it? If you don't like it, I will be more careful next time and remove all these thorns."
"Thank you so much." Jiang Chuanxiang said lightly, ignoring Kuroba Kaito's provocation.
On the contrary, he likes the kind that he initiates and controls the overall situation.
"If possible, how about you have a date with me under the moon, Kaito Kidd?"
Jiangchuankami leaned over slightly, put his face close to Kuroba Kaito, his lips almost brushing the other's earlobe, and whispered something.
As he spoke, his warm breath fell on Kuroba Kaito's sensitive ears, bringing a tingling sensation that made Kuroba Kaito's ears tremble involuntarily.
As the distance between the two people got closer, Kuroba Kaito could even clearly smell the elegant rose scent emanating from Egawa, which was lighter and more pleasant than the real rose scent.
However, even so, Kuroba Kaito was still stunned by the words of the graceful man in front of him, his eyes widened and his pupils contracted sharply.
Who is he? Why does he know his other unknown identity?
"How can I be the so-and-so you are talking about? He is just an unknown thief. What does he have to do with me? You must have made a mistake!"
"Then are you sure in your heart? Is this the first time you see me, and the rose?" After admiring Kuroba Kaito's stunned expression, Jiang Chuankami stood up straight, lowered his eyes to look at the rose in his hand, and picked a petal and crushed it between his fingertips.
It was the same action as last time, but Kaito Kid didn’t see it last time, but now Kuroba Kaito saw it.
Kuroba Kaito was so shocked by this sudden question that his mind went blank and he couldn't say anything.
"..."
Watching the people leave, Kuroba Kaito was so anxious that he almost stamped his feet.
Damn, who is this guy? Isn’t he a consultant? Will he tell his identity to Officer Nakamori?
With his heart extremely conflicted, Kuroba Kaito felt as if he was trapped in a bottomless vortex. Every time he thought, the vortex became deeper and more dangerous, but the obsession in his heart did not give way.
He knew that he had to find Pandora's gem before the enemy. Only in this way could he completely smash the carefully woven conspiracy of the black organization that brutally killed his father!
"Damn it! Damn it!" Kuroba Kaito cursed under his breath, veins bulging on his forehead.
At this moment, Father Terai's face was as pale as paper, and he slowly walked to Kuroba Kaito.
Obviously, he had accepted the harsh conditions just proposed with great difficulty.
Now, he might be able to have a calm conversation with that annoying Renra Tojiro, right?
After all, not long ago, Renra Tojiro came to him to reminisce about the past, Terai thought bitterly.
For Father Terai, what could be more miserable than watching his life's work being destroyed?
No, absolutely not!
It feels like the end of the world, making people feel desperate and helpless.
Two people with heavy hearts came together, and when they looked at each other, they found that the other had a bitter face.
"Dad, why are you so dejected? It's a bit scary!"
"You too, sir."
Not long after, the exciting competition finally kicked off!
The pool table had already been set up, and the people around it quickly dispersed like a tide, each looking for the best viewing position. They were all eager to catch a glimpse of Mr. Lian Luo, fearing that they would miss any exciting moments.
Jiang Chuan Shang took the lead and was the first to walk to the pool table and began to inspect it carefully and meticulously.
He checked the pool table one by one to see if there were any hidden holes, whether the bottom pocket was blocked, whether the weight of each billiard ball was consistent, etc.
After a thorough check to ensure that everything was foolproof, he nodded with satisfaction and gently pressed the bell for the game.
"jingle......"
The clear and melodious bell rang, as if foreshadowing that a fierce showdown was about to take place.
Immediately afterwards, the contestants from both sides - Hasura Tojiro and Kuroba Kaito also walked to the tables on both sides.
Jiang Chuan Shang stood steadily between the two of them and asked softly, "What type of billiards game would you like to choose?"
At this moment, Renra Tojiro did not respond, his eyes silently turned to his boss.
After all, he was just a subordinate of his boss and had no power to make independent decisions.
It is obvious that Renra Tojiro is just a tool for business owners to make huge profits. To be more precise, it should be regarded as a marketing method or gimmick.
With the help of Mr. Lian Luo's fame and the so-called golden golf club, this shrewd boss made a fortune!
However, this gifted billiards genius, Hasura Tojiro, did not have any business acumen.
He devoted himself to the study of billiard skills and devoted all his pure emotions to his beloved billiard career without reservation. However, he never thought about the real intentions of the businessman, but was grateful for the high salary given to him by the boss.
Isn't this equivalent to selling yourself and counting money for others with your own hands?
Renra Tojiro is such a naive person.
As expected, when the merchant boss heard Jiang Chuan Shang's question, he immediately walked to the side of the billiard table, leisurely lit a cigar, slowly exhaled the smoke and said:
"How about this, we set each game at 10,000 yen? As for the rules, it's based on who scores the nine-ball. It's a best-of-five format, and the winner gets the golden club."
Kuroba Kaito fell into deep thought, and a trace of doubt quickly appeared on his face: "I have only heard of the fourteenth ball, so what is the nine-ball?"
When Terai heard Kuroba Kaito's innocent question, he couldn't help but frowned and hurriedly leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Master, if you are not familiar with the rules of the game, it will be very disadvantageous to us. We will lose our advantage directly!"
Terai's worries were not unfounded. Based on his understanding of Kuroba Kaito, the young man had hardly participated in any formal billiards matches and had quite limited knowledge of billiards.
If we rashly participate in the competition now, we will inevitably encounter many difficulties, and will definitely fail, and then suffer huge losses.
However, Kuroba Kaito remained confident and unwavering.
He turned around and comforted Father Terai, telling him not to worry too much.
"Oh, Dad, you have to believe me. I am the son of a top magician. I will definitely win. There is no reason for me to lose."
Although he was wary of Kawakami Tomie, who knew his true identity, those were problems that he needed to face and solve in the future.
At this moment, the most important thing is to focus on solving the current problems.
Kuroba Kaito is definitely not the kind of indecisive and hesitant person. On the contrary, he is always full of confidence, showing the persistence and drive that are unique to young people.
So, Kuroba Kaito continued, "Don't worry, Dad. Don't you still believe in me, Kuroba Kaito? We're all playing billiards, so it doesn't matter how we play, right?"
After hearing this, Terai didn't know what to say, but Renra Tojiro on the other side suddenly spoke.
"You're right," Lian Luo said calmly, staring at the pool table, "However, the fourteenth ball can be aimed at any ball on the pool table, but the nine ball can only be hit in sequence, and..."
Jiang Chuan Shangrao watched the conversation between the two groups with interest, and continued, his gorgeous voice instantly attracted everyone's attention, "And even if you hit the first eight balls into the bottom pocket, if the ninth ball is not hit, you still lose."
"However, there is another opportunistic way to quickly end the game, which is to directly hit the nine ball into the bottom pocket in one go. This will win you the game, but this hitting technique not only requires great luck, but also has extremely high requirements for skills. It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to achieve it."
After Jiang Chuan Shang finished speaking, he looked at Kuroba Kaito, his red lips slightly opened, and he continued to whisper: "Now, do you understand?"
"Of course, Mr. Kawakami explained it very clearly." Kuroba Kaito raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile, and answered in a loud voice.
Jiang Chuan Shang looked away, put the nine billiard balls in order, made a gesture of invitation, and said slowly: "In this case, you can decide who will start by playing rock-paper-scissors."
As soon as he finished speaking, he stepped aside, leaving the venue to the two protagonists who were about to fight.
Renra Tojiro looked at the young opponent who was about to compete with him, smiled, and spoke in a rather humble tone:
"No need to play rock-paper-scissors. You are still young, so I will let you go first."
"Okay," Kuroba Kaito and Hasura Tojiro looked at each other and agreed without any hesitation, "Then I'll give in, Mr. Hasura."
"..."
Kuroba Kaito bent slightly, gripped the pool cue tightly with both hands, and stared intently at the pool table in front of him.
He swung the pool cue lightly, and the cue hit the white ball accurately. The white ball flew out quickly and collided violently with other billiard balls.
The opening went very smoothly, and Kuroba Kaito was secretly delighted: "Well, not bad, I'm in good shape today!"
However, just as he was about to hit the ball for the second time, something unexpected happened.
When the cue ball hit ball number one on the way, it suddenly bounced up, as if by magic, and flew straight towards the pocket.
The cue ball was about to roll into the pocket, but fortunately it seemed to lose power at the critical moment and barely stopped at the edge of the hole.
"Eh? That's a bit weird..."
Kuroba Kaito frowned slightly, full of suspicion. When he saw the cue ball narrowly passing the hole, his heart finally settled down a little.
Unfortunately, he was happy too early.
At this time, the number one ball that was still hitting the ball changed direction and hit the cue ball squarely. Without a doubt, the cue ball fell into the pocket in an instant.
"Ouch!" Kuroba Kaito screamed, covering his head in panic, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
The audience around burst into laughter when they saw this, and some even mocked loudly without disguising themselves:
"Hahahahahaha...this is hilarious! He actually managed to hit the cue ball into the pocket. Is there anyone who dares to come and participate in the competition without knowing the rules of billiards? And he even dares to challenge Mr. Lian Luo!"
The cue ball is the white ball. The audience are all players who are interested in billiards and even knowledgeable about it, so they naturally know the rules of the game.
"That's right! Even if we find any random kid to play basketball with, he would probably be much better than this guy! He's just too bad!"
The atmosphere became increasingly heated with laughter and sarcasm. Some people even shouted loudly without disguising their anger, "Little guy, you are too immature! Let Mr. Lian Luo give you a good lesson and teach you how to play billiards. Hahahaha!"
At this moment, Kuroba Kaito was completely drowned in the ridicule and mockery of the crowd. Fine beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead, and his wet hair stuck tightly to his forehead.
Faced with such a situation, Kuroba Kaito was at a loss for a moment. He could only stare blankly at the bottom bag, and his mind kept recalling the strange scene that had just happened.
At this moment, the boss who looked like a businessman slowly walked behind Kuroba Kaito.
With a smug smile on his face, he looked at the miserable state of Kuroba Kaito with satisfaction, and then said:
"Knocking the cue ball into the pocket is against the rules, so you lost the first game, right?" This last sentence was obviously directed at Jiang Chuankami.
Jiang Chuan Shang stood nearby, watching the two of them quietly, and nodded in agreement: "Indeed, it is Mr. Lian Luo's turn next."
As Kuroba Kaito left the pool table, he couldn't help but sigh secretly: "Today is so unlucky!"
However, at the same time, his eyes were always fixed on the pool table, with an expression of unwillingness to be outdone on his face.
When Jiang Chuan Shang saw this scene, he couldn't help but think to himself, could it be that this guy really doesn't know how to play billiards?
But if you look more closely, you can see that there is a thoughtful gleam hidden deep in Kuroba Kaito's eyes.
Obviously, this is not the case. The game just now was just an accidental mistake.
So, was this really just a simple mistake?
General Jiang Chuan withdrew his gaze, lowered his head slightly, and raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a faint smile.
Then he turned around and started chatting with Seshomaru beside him.
Although Seshomaru hadn't spoken a word and he hadn't spoken to him either, Jiang Kawai knew that he wasn't doing this intentionally to ignore the other party.
As Mr. Lian Luo stepped into the venue, billiard balls one after another went into his pockets smoothly. The atmosphere on the scene instantly became heated, as if it was pushed to the peak.
A superb collision drew praise from the audience, "Mr. Lian Luo is worthy of his name. He can hit the ball into such a difficult hole at a tricky angle. It's amazing!"
"Yes, Mr. Lian Luo is really amazing. I worship you!"
