Rasha lightly warmed up and walked to the center of the ring.

My body seemed light.

“…Would you like to bet?”

“What?”

“Bet?”

I secretly suggested a bet to the two of them.

The old man and the woman responded with caution.

“Who will win.”

“…Umm.”

At my suggestion, the old man stroked his chin with his palm.

The beard rubbed against the palm and made a crunching sound.

I felt like I was in trouble.

“What are you worried about? It’s a little annoying, but of course that guy will win.”

A middle-aged woman pointed her finger at the gangster.

In general, everyone would think that the gangster, the man, would win.

It was a natural story.

Even women who have learned sports professionally cannot win if they fight with adult men.

Because men had the advantage in terms of natural strength, bone structure, and sense of handling the body.

The middle-aged woman knew that too, so she chose the gangster side without hesitation.

However, the old man was having a hard time making a choice.

“Me too, I think that guy will win. But…”

The old man’s eyes turned to me.

“That confidence bothers me.”

The old man pointed his finger at my face.

I was smiling softly.

“If you’re scared, stay in the same place as me. Safely.”

He suggested it in a slightly teasing tone.

The old man’s eyebrows twitched.

“…No, you can’t do that.”

They were three people who were really weak against provocation.

I wonder how much provocation people with this much money usually receive.

He would have lived a life supported by those around him.

So don’t fall for this light provocation.

…Of course, my thoughts were a bit biased.

While the two were getting ready in the ring, the old man motioned for another dealer.

“What’s going on?”

“I’ll bet on the thug’s victory. …20 million chips.”

“I too am a gangster with 15 million chips.”

“Then, I have 35 million chips on the other side.”

The dealer took our cards.

The two people in the ring also seemed ready.

The gangster was washing his face and exhaling.

“If you’re going to blame me, blame your crazy boyfriend.”

“I’m not your boyfriend…”

Rasha glanced in my direction and muttered.

To those around me, he might seem like a really crazy boyfriend.

My boyfriend made me follow him to the gambling house and then told me to go to the fighting ring.

At first it seemed crazy.

Still, this is what my girlfriend desperately wants, so what can I do?

“Are you both ready?”

The two people indicated that they were ready by nodding their heads at the words of the referee and dealer.

“If you surrender or decide that it is difficult to continue the game, you immediately lose.”

The two nodded once again.

“Then, fight!”

The bell rang and the two people glared at each other and distanced themselves.

The gangster extended one arm and controlled the distance.

Looking at the long arms, I could once again feel the difference in physique between the two people.

He was a gangster who was two spans taller than an average adult man.

In comparison, Rasha had a small physique for someone who practiced martial arts.

As the two were facing each other, it felt like a child and an adult fighting.

“Shouldn’t we consider surrendering instead?”

The old man smiled for the first time when he saw that scene.

I felt sad when I heard that.

“Of course. That gangster has no one to shout for him to surrender.”

Maybe someone should stop them at the right time.

Rasha leapt, leaving me worried behind.

Tap and lightly in place.

“What?!”

The gangster probably didn’t think he was going to jump towards him and raised his guard in panic.

puck!

Rasha’s knee landed on the back of his guarded hand.

“Aaaah!”

It was a meeting of knees and the backs of hands.

Even if there was a difference in strength, the hardness was different.

The blow must have been quite severe as the gangster grabbed the back of his hand and took two steps back.

There was no way Rasha would miss this opportunity.

He took a long, sliding step, narrowed the distance, and this time kicked the gangster on the inside of his knee with a low kick.

Jump!

When the low kick went in properly, it made a sound like a watermelon splitting.

“Wow…”

The realistic sound made dealers and middle-aged women scream in pain.

“Keuuu!”

The gangster clenched his teeth and suppressed a groan.

I thought my knees were shaking from the pain.

thud.

The gangster fell to the floor as if he was collapsing.

These are the knees that support such a large body.

If even one of the knees had a problem, it was inevitable that it would collapse.

Rasha attempted to attack the fallen gangster, but was thrown away.

“Aaaah!”

As the gangster was swinging his long arms wildly, it was difficult to get close to him.

It was an attack that didn’t even feel like a fighting game.

For someone that big, just swinging your arm around could become a threatening attack.

“What are you doing!”

“Are you going to keep getting beaten up by a woman who doesn’t even come up to your shoulder?!”

An old man and a middle-aged woman shouted anxiously.

An anxious emotion was evident in his voice.

“That person…”

“Why?”

“No, I thought I saw it on the second basement floor…”

Even among the dealers, conversations were being secretly exchanged.

Among them, there seemed to be someone who remembered Rasha’s identity.

“…Now that I think about it, I remember this too…”

The dealer who remembered Rasha looked at me and opened his mouth.

I put a finger to my mouth.

It was a sign to be quiet.

“Shut up! I haven’t lost yet!”

The gangster lost his temper and stood up.

Contrary to his excited cries, his legs were shaking like a newborn foal.

“Just one… If you get just one right.”

He was mumbling about something he couldn’t do even with his good legs.

“Guess what.”

Then Rasha slowly approached in front of him.

The gangster gritted his teeth at the relaxed look and swung his fist.

Huh.

The fist split the air.

Rasha just pulled her head back and dodged.

Rasha’s large fist, the size of her face, was definitely threatening.

However, no matter how threatening a fist was, it was meaningless if it could not be hit.

“This…!”

Now the gangster started swinging his fists at random as if he was expecting just one hit.

Rasha did not allow a single hit.

While dodging, he showed off his vicious side by kicking one or two more low kicks to the knee where he had kicked the low kick.

Puck, puck.

“Keuuuugh… Ha, surrender-”

The gangster fell down, clutching his knees.

And the moment you are about to shout surrender-

“This guy! Whoever wants to surrender is free! continue! Keep going!”

“Yes! We bet too, but selfishly!”

“Fuck! Then you guys come up and fight!”

The old man and the woman shouted, and the gangster glared at them and shouted.

And naturally, the eyes of the old man and the woman turned to Rasha.

Rasha gestured to the two people with a more relieved expression.

“They come up at the same time.”

Rasha, speaking informally for the first time in a long time, looked quite tough.

“Keu…”

The old man closed his eyes tightly and muttered.

“…I’ll have to call my bodyguard tomorrow too…”

“…Mr. Lee, now I really need to clean up some buildings…”

A middle-aged woman was also biting her nails nervously.

The dealer approached the fallen gangster.

“Surrender, do you want to?”

“Yes! Can’t you see my knees?!”

“Oh, I understand.”

My knee was a little swollen.

It didn’t seem like a major injury, but if I continued anyway, my injured knee would only suffer.

The gangster’s surrender at this moment was the right decision.

However, there was a small problem.

“By the way, there is no more balance on your card.”

“…What?”

The gangster’s expression slowly hardened.

“You need to pay 20 million chips, but you have 17 million chips.”

“Well, that can’t be true. Did you check it carefully?”

The gangster got up shakily and grabbed both of the referee’s shoulders.

“Yes, as you know, if you don’t collect 3 million chips by tomorrow—”

“If not…?”

“We have no choice but to give you a choice.”

The choice was obvious.

Rasha’s younger brother was the choice Lana had to go through.

Either work at a casino and pay the bills, or become a slave.

Both results will be similar.

To repay 3 million chips, you would either have to work almost your whole life, or live as a slave for half your life.

Since you said male slaves don’t sell well, I wonder what will happen.

“Wait! If you just wait a week, you can squeeze something out of the Toto site!”

“The maximum we can give is one day.”

“… Ugh… Okay, first of all… I can borrow it somehow…”

It seemed like there was one less competitor in the auction.

And along with that, the number of chips on my card increased ridiculously.

Even if I auctioned it right now, it seemed like I would easily win the bidding auction.

“Then we’ll see the three of us tomorrow.”

“…”

“…”

It was a different perspective from yesterday.

Unlike yesterday, when he was burning with anger and a desire for revenge, today he looked at me as if he was a little afraid.

Is it because I saw a gangster who became a slave in just two days?

It was as if he had chosen the wrong person to fight.

“…Looks like I’ll be busy for a while, see you in 3 days, no… 4 days.”

“…Yes, I think that would be good too.”

“See you then.”

I patted Rasha’s shoulder as she came down from the ring and got on the elevator.

Rasha’s expression from the elevator looked a little complicated.

“You seem to be in a worse mood than I thought. What’s going on?”

“Just like that. After I actually won, I felt a little empty…”

“Really?”

“Actually, Lana became a slave… It’s not even those people’s fault.”

That was correct.

In the end, the cause of everything was the people who committed fraudulent gambling due to their own greed.

“Those three people are also bad people. If Lana is sold to one of those three people.”

I could tell just by hearing the rumors.

With how they treat their slaves, if Lana was sold to them, she would have become a victim of various crimes.

They couldn’t even resist because they were slaves.

Rasha trembled as if just imagining it was terrifying.

“Now there are two of us.”

“…Of course.”

Rasha smiled slightly at my words.

“First, I need to get Lana back and give her a harsh lecture. I asked him if he was coming.”

I clenched my fist that was used to beat up the gangster.

Lana felt like she needed to be prepared.
