Amid the cheers of the audience and the admiration of the business owners, Hasura Tojiro's performance became more and more stable and his speed became faster and faster.

"Nine-ball depends on luck. As long as you attract luck to yourself, then," Lianluo Tongjiro said calmly, "it is also an indispensable part of strength."

After that, only the eight ball and the nine ball were left on the pool table.

The merchant boss was confident of victory. He looked at Kuroba Kaito with contempt and said sarcastically, "This is simply a contest between an adult and a child. I am embarrassed to argue with you. If you still have time to admit defeat now, then take Terai and leave quickly. Hahahaha!"

"Damn it! The outcome is unknown until the last moment!"

Kuroba Kaito responded and then went on stage.

As the roles changed back and forth, the game soon came to an end.

Hasura Tojiro's superb tennis skills impressed all the spectators, while Kuroba Kaito, who made many mistakes, was ignored and people no longer had any hope for him.

With such poor billiards skills, how dare you compete with Mr. Lian Luo? It's like hitting a rock with an egg. You are overestimating your own abilities!

In just two games, Kuroba Kaito didn't win a single game, while Mr. Renra was unstoppable and won two games in a row.

If Mr. Renra wins another game, Terai's billiard hall, Blue Parrot, will change hands, and Terai will be forced to withdraw from the billiards world and disappear from the scene forever.

Jiangchuan looked at the calm Kuroba Kaito, walked slowly towards him, and said softly: "Yes, it is true, 2 to 0. If you admit defeat now, we can all go home earlier."

After saying this, his bony hands pressed down on the green pool table like a breeze, and pressed down slightly. In an instant, the surface of the pool table began to shake slightly.

After doing this little action, Jiangchuankami straightened his body, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, staring at Kuroba Kaito.

He knew very well that Kuroba Kaito must have noticed the abnormality just now.

As expected, a gleam of light flashed in Kuroba Kaito's eyes, and a wicked arc appeared at the corner of his mouth: "It's okay, it's just a store, it's insignificant!"

"Master, that store is the secret base of Kaito Kidd!" Terai lowered his voice and tried to persuade Kuroba Kaito.

Kuroba Kaito, however, looked "conceited". Everyone can pretend, so he sternly refused:

"Dad, don't worry. This matter will be resolved. I will not lose, and I will not admit defeat."

At this time, Renra Tojiro suddenly spoke up: "I think the game has been decided, you can leave now, and you don't have to mortgage Terai's store anymore."

This tolerant and generous statement, like a stone that caused a thousand ripples, attracted everyone's attention.

Jiang Chuan Shang even asked in a "considerate" manner: "Mr. Lian Luo, are you sure you want to end the game now? If so, you can only get 100,000 yen."

Lianluo Tongjilang was about to nod, but the merchant boss beside him shouted like thunder: "No! The competition continues! That shop can be sold at a very high price. How can we let the duck fly away for nothing!"

"Boss, but..."

"No buts!" the businessman said indifferently, his voice so cold that it seemed to freeze the air.

His shrewd eyes were fixed on Renra Tojiro, with ruthlessness and determination flashing in them.

Then, without hesitation, he pulled out a black pistol from his pocket and put the muzzle of the gun against Renra Tojiro's back.

"Just play the game like a precise robot. No need to have any extra emotions. The only thing you have to do is to obey my orders, understand?!"

The merchant boss laughed viciously, and that smile was creepy.

A trace of cold sweat instantly broke out on Lianluo Tongjilang's forehead. He widened his eyes, his face full of shock and fear. Faced with this sudden threat, he had no power to resist and could only shut his mouth silently to show his obedience.

Seeing this, the businessman showed a look of satisfaction.

He nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at the referee Jiang Chuan Shang and said, "Okay, the game continues!"

Jiang Chuan Shang witnessed everything that was happening before his eyes, and the smile on his lips became more and more intense.

He clapped his hands, and seemed to be quite interested in this farce, and even shouted loudly without thinking too much of it:

"Okay, since both parties have reached a consensus, let's continue the game!"

At this moment, no one noticed that the clever magician was seeing all these subtle movements.

His sharp eyes saw through the phenomenon and saw the essence, secretly calculating what might happen next.

Kuroba Kaito went straight to the pool table and began to rub the pool cue with oil. On the other side, Hasura Tojiro was also rubbing his cue.

[Note: In order to increase the friction between the cue and the billiard ball, players will use chocolate powder mixed with dry powder to rub the small head of the cue. There are two types of chocolate powder and oil chocolate. The oil chocolate is used for playing the nine-ball. After using it, the cue is easier to aim at the ball instead of the cue slipping away.]

Renra Tojiro listlessly stroked the pool cue with his fingers, repeatedly thinking over the cold words of the businessman just now.

He fell into deep thought, recalling every detail of his journey: from the time he first met his boss to now working hard under him; he has dedicated his entire life to the billiards career that he loves and is good at, but in the eyes of his boss, he is merely regarded as a tool that can hit the ball accurately.

Is this really the case?

"Is my life just a tool for others to make money and a gimmick for hype?"

Renra Tojiro muttered to himself, feeling increasingly depressed, "This kind of life is so ridiculous that even I can't find the meaning and value of my existence. When did things develop into this state?"

For a moment, countless thoughts flooded into his mind, making him upset.

Was the initial decision wrong? Where will the future go...

Various problems troubled him, making Renra Tojiro's eyes gradually become melancholy and confused.

However, he knew very well that the competition was like a battlefield and did not allow for any hesitation.

Being indecisive will only lead to missed opportunities, and if you don’t perform well, you may have a hard time explaining to your boss…

Forget it, stop imagining it!

Lian Luo Tongjiro warned himself secretly and tried to calm his inner turmoil.

After some self-brainwashing, Renra Tojiro took a deep breath, then leaned down and prepared to start hitting the ball. However, at this moment, a clear and pleasant female voice, like a yellow oriole out of the valley, suddenly came from the door.

"Hey! Open the door quickly and let me in!" There was a hint of urgency and dissatisfaction in the voice.

Then, the waiter's slightly helpless voice also sounded: "Miss, could you please wait a moment? It is really inconvenient for you to enter here. If you insist on breaking in, it will cause us a lot of trouble..."

As soon as Kuroba Kaito heard the voice, he knew who was coming - it was Nakamori Aoko.

He hurried to the door, opened it quickly, and motioned for Nakamori Aoko to come in quickly.

As soon as the door was opened, Nakamori Aoko rushed in like a cannonball and threw herself straight into Kuroba Kaito's arms.

Suddenly, a faint, sweet smell of alcohol came to his face, causing Kuroba Kaito to frown. He looked at the person in his arms again, and saw that her cheeks were as red as fire, her eyes were blurred and trance-like, and she was obviously drunk.

"Kaito...what are you doing in there? What took you so long to open the door..."

Nakamori Aoko mumbled and spoke incoherently, shaking her head slightly as she spoke, as if she might fall asleep at any moment.

This sudden sound was like a thunderclap exploding in Renra Tojiro's ears, instantly tearing his thoughts into pieces.

His hand trembled, and the cue he had been holding tightly seemed to lose control, and he hit the billiard ball directly. The billiard ball rolled rapidly on the table, with a force so great that it was astonishing, but in the end, it was still due to lack of stamina and slowly stopped at the edge of the hole.

He made a mistake and there was no second chance. He could only wait until it was his turn to play and make it back.

"Ah, Aoko, you are actually drunk!" Kuroba Kaito supported the staggering Nakamori Aoko with a helpless look on his face, secretly groaning in his heart.

While enduring the trouble caused by the drunken Aoko, he looked around anxiously, trying to find a suitable place to temporarily place her.

At this moment, Jiangchuan appeared in time like a savior. He walked quickly to Kuroba Kaito and offered to help take care of the drunk Aoko:

"In that case, let me take care of this drunk lady. Kuroba Kaito, you should focus on your game."

Hearing this, Kuroba Kaito couldn't help but hesitate, "But..."

After all, Kuroba Kaito was really worried about handing Aoko over to a stranger he had never met before, and this stranger also knew his other identity, and he might even have ulterior motives.

However, as Jiang Chuankami said, at this moment he should really concentrate on the upcoming game instead of being distracted by other things.

It was my turn to play in the next game. If I continued to be so absent-minded, the consequences would be disastrous.

At the thought of possibly losing the game, Kuroba Kaito's face turned very ugly, and even a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

No, he couldn't let that happen! He wanted to get the Blue Parrot Arena and the golden golf clubs from Father Terai!

Kuroba Kaito took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

He clenched his fists tightly, secretly telling himself that he must concentrate and do his best to face the next challenge.

So, he straightened up without hesitation and looked forward with firm eyes, as if declaring his determination to the whole world.

I must win this game, Magician, failure is not allowed!

"No buts," Jiang Kawai said in a firm tone, and then carefully and gently took Nakamori Aoko from Kuroba Kaito's arms.

He walked steadily towards the piano at the back, because there was a comfortable seat there where Qingzi could lie down and rest peacefully.

Kuroba Kaito watched Admiral Jiangchuan carry Aoko away, and was stunned for a moment.

Although he knew in his heart that this handsome man had no ill intentions, and it seemed inconvenient for him to continue to refuse his kindness.

So he stood there and fell into deep thought.

However, at this moment, the drunken Nakamori Aoko suddenly shouted: "Hey, Kaito, where have you been? This doesn't feel right, Kaito, when did you become so tall?"

Hearing this, black lines suddenly appeared on Kuroba Kaito's face.

He really wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into, and at the same time he secretly complained in his heart: Qingzi, Qingzi, please don't touch others randomly! This is really too embarrassing!

As expected, at this moment Nakamori Aoko was indeed in a dazed and drunken state.

She reached out without hesitation and touched the broad chest of the man who was hugging her, and she felt more and more strange in her heart.

She looked up along the chest, her eyes gradually moving upwards, finally stopping on a perfect profile.

The contours and lines of the face seemed to have been carefully carved, and every part was just right, exuding a unique charm. Especially the prominent Adam's apple on the neck, which was clearly visible, clearly indicating that the person in front of him was a real man.

Nakamori Aoko was stunned by what she saw and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so beautiful! It's like I saw an angel, Kaito."

However, in response to Nakamori Aoko's confused words of praise, Jiang Kawakami simply smiled softly, with a short and low laugh coming out of his throat.

Then, without stopping for too long, he continued to walk forward and quickly placed Nakamori Aoko on the stool in front of the piano.

"Okay, dear lady, please take a rest here for a while." Jiang Chuan Shang said softly, his tone full of care and consideration.

"Then where are you going?" Nakamori Aoko asked anxiously, while grabbing the corner of Jiangchuanshang's clothes tightly and refusing to let go.

Jiang Chuan Shang tried to pull the corner of his clothes out of her hands, but no matter how hard he tried, it seemed that he could not succeed without using brute force.

After all, he is a considerate and elegant gentleman, so how could he easily touch a girl?

So, Jiang Chuan Shang chose to stand beside Nakamori Aoko, gently stroking her black and shiny hair, with a gentle smile on his face, and responded softly:

"Of course I'm here with you."

"That's great, thank you," Nakamori Aoko said drunkenly, saying everything she was thinking. "I don't know why, but I feel like I don't know you, but your aura makes me feel very attractive, and I can't help but want to get close to you. Have we met before?"

"No, miss, this is the first time we meet." Jiang Chuan Shang blinked, still smiling slightly dotingly, and the tiny teardrop mole under his eye was unusually bright red.

Nakamori Aoko nodded in disappointment. Her mind was filled with all sorts of thoughts. She had no choice but to hold back and not say anything. She just nodded, "Okay."
