In the bathroom, Su Ze soaked in the tub, blood's scent fading under shampoo.
He hadn't bathed alone in ages—nostalgic.
1 vs. 31, he was the undisputed victor.
No reason to lose, though he took some hits, mostly from Kuroki's Monster Arm Style.
Kuroki's ferocity was no joke.
"Observation Haki up two levels… intense fights do me good. Nitoku Style, Monster Arm Style, wrestling, judo, and MMA became skills."
"Blast Core, like Six Paths Skybreaker, started at LV10. Wonder how Julius is after taking a Blast Core punch."
"I gave them low-grade healing candies, but lingering injuries are possible."
Thoughts swirled, settling on desire points.
Half a million!!!
Just halfway to a million.
This Kengan's haul was colossal.
He anticipated the War Ghost bloodline melding with magic—what transcendent reaction awaited?
Magic's strength tied to the body.
His was beyond supreme.
A premonition stirred—crossing into the extraordinary would spark something monumental.
Breeding desires, sated in the underworld, had evolved him once.
Combat desires, now fulfilled, sparked another evolution.
Feeling his cells hum and vitality surge, Su Ze closed his eyes, content.
Two hours later, he left the bathroom, ordering food delivered.
Outside, Wu Clan members and Kengan elites waited, summoned by Su Ze.
They watched a parade of food carts roll in and out, awestruck.
His appetite matched his combat prowess—terrifying.
"98… 99… 100…" Souryuin Shion, unusually cigarette-free, muttered.
"Counting what?" Mitani Hana asked softly.
Kengan's female bosses, rare, naturally bonded, and she clicked with Shion.
"Food carts," Kurayoshi Rino answered for Shion.
Hana gasped. "That many?!"
"How much does he eat? Is he a dragon?" Iori Ichika grimaced.
Shinomiya Ramen, the smallest Kengan firm, had three bosses.
Tenma Kibou pursed her lips, eyes glinting. "It's over."
The cart parade stopped, all wheeled out.
Tokugawa Mitsunari fist-bumped his palm. "107 carts! A world record! A triumph of appetite!"
"Last saw someone eat like that with Hanayama Kaoru."
"Oh, you don't know—Genwa Year Two…"
A massive burp cut through the whispers.
Kurapika emerged, gesturing to Wu Huiliyang. "Patriarch Wu, the president awaits."
Huiliyang, first to be summoned, drew no objections.
The Wu Clan was now the Kengan's armed force—vital.
Huiliyang entered alone with Kurapika.
The grand, stately room, the president's office, held only Su Ze.
He sat behind the desk, meeting Huiliyang's gaze.
They smiled in unison.
"Congratulations!" Huiliyang's weathered face beamed.
The oak door closed, sealing them from prying eyes.
Kurapika stood by Su Ze, newly appointed secretary.
"Patriarch Wu, I want to hire Wu Clan elites as the Kengan's guard and enforcement teams. Enforcers will audit and judge match legality, apprehending or executing rule-breakers," Su Ze said, returning a favor.
Guard and enforcement teams wielded immense power.
"Hahaha, rest assured, I'll send our best to ensure you and your family's safety and uphold Kengan order," Huiliyang agreed readily, then grinned. "By the way, Wu Garura misses you. When can she visit? She could teach you Liberation!"
His eyes gleamed, fixed on Su Ze.
For Su Ze's seed, he'd offer his head, let alone elites.
Watching the melee, his opinion of Su Ze boiled down to four words: Unmatched Through Ages.
His bloodline must stay with the Wu!
"And Wu Fengshui misses you too," Huiliyang added, as if Su Ze might drop dead tomorrow.
Both at once? Wouldn't they clash?
Su Ze's heart stirred, nodding. "Have them come tonight."
Huiliyang roared with laughter, elated.
"Kurapika, bring in Nogi Hideki's trio," Su Ze said.
Huiliyang, triumphant, left with Kurapika.
Soon, Nogi Hideki, Yamashita Ichiro, and Akiyama Kaede entered.
Nogi, suited up, adjusted his slicked-back hair, visibly nervous.
[Nogi Hideki's Awe: +30]
[Yamashita Ichiro's Awe: +55]
[Akiyama Kaede's Awe: +56]
The perks of power…
While eating, those waiting outside fed him steady desire points—high-quality ones from remarkable figures.
"Nogi Hideki, per Kengan rules, you must dissolve Nogi Group," Su Ze said calmly.
"I'll do it back in Tokyo…" Nogi inhaled, face flickering.
The Nogi legacy, centuries old, might end with him.
"But, President Su, wait for me. I'll return and challenge you!" Nogi's eyes blazed, a clawless wolf with unquenched ambition.
Su Ze nodded. With Ichiro's help, Nogi could find new talent and rise again.
"You've got a business mind. After dissolving Nogi Group, join me," Su Ze said, smiling.
