Nogi Hideki pondered for a moment.
If it were in the past, he would definitely not agree to this price, but now Komada is still lying in the hospital and he has no other fighters available, so he really has no choice.
It is equivalent to saying that you used to make 100 yuan with 1 yuan, but now you have to make 100 yuan with 10 yuan.
If he agrees, the profit will certainly be nine dollars less, but if he is unwilling to lose this nine dollars, he will directly earn ninety dollars less.
"Okay, I can agree to this price." Nogi Hideki turned around and prepared to instruct his secretary to transfer the money, "The money should be paid through the official payment channel of the Wu clan..."
"Ah no no no."
Hearing this, Wu Yi, who had been extremely calm a second ago, showed a trace of emotion.
He stopped Akiyama Kaede from transferring the money and pointed at Yukinoshita Haruno behind the desk.
"That would take up part of the commission, so let's just use the company account."
Volume 526: Chapter : Razor's Edge "Treat People"
"The money has arrived... yet."
Just four minutes after Nogi Hideki left, Yukinoshita Haruno looked at the extra 10 billion yen in the company's account and fell into deep thought.
That's a full 1 billion, not just ten dollars. They paid it without even a contract.
Are you so confident?
"Are you wondering why he paid so readily when there was no money in the contract?"
Wu Yi appeared behind her like a ghost, with his hands on the girl's shoulders and leaning on the table in front of him. He glanced at the long string of numbers on the screen and spoke, his breath carrying a rich aroma of milk and cereal.
Adding the tens of billions that Arisu Sakayanagi won from his bet yesterday, the company now has more than billion and close to billion in funds in its account.
"Wow, how come you walk without making any sound?" Yukinoshita Haruno was slightly startled.
"It's just a professional habit."
Wu Yi tapped the table with his fingertips and stepped back, rubbing some skin cream on the girl's face.
"Let's get back to the point. Remember what I said before about this being Kengan's registered company? It's actually the same principle. Because my last name is Wu, the Nogi Group will rest assured to pay the full amount, even if things haven't started yet, even if there's not even a contract."
"I see."
Yukinoshita Haruno nodded, somewhat understanding.
At this time, Karuizawa Hui, who had been in a daze since a while ago, came over and poked Wu Yi's arm with a pout.
"So what exactly does the Nogi Group do, and why is it so rich?"
"he is--"
Wu Yi pondered and was about to start explaining, but Yukinoshita Haruno spoke before him.
"Nogi Group started out as a logistics company, and then gradually expanded. Now its business scope basically covers all walks of life, and it is considered a leader in the industry."
"It's not like they made their fortune in logistics," Wu Yi corrected. "From my impression, the Nogi Group has been a Kengan enterprise for a long time, and it's considered a very old member. It's just that it suddenly became so big in the hands of this generation of Nogi successors. Maybe it just happened to catch up with the dividends of the times."
"That means it's a very wealthy company, right?" Karuizawa Kei understood it in a very general way.
"You could say that, what's wrong?"
"I just feel that I should have offered a higher price earlier and made him 10 billion directly!"
The blonde girl waved her little fist vigorously, and her cute look made Wu Yi burst out laughing.
Then he reached out and flicked her forehead lightly with his index finger.
"Forget about it. The commission is 10% of the target project. This is the rule. It is not advisable to take advantage of the favor and temporarily raise the price. Besides, 1 billion is probably an exception for him. If it is more expensive, he won't be able to do this business."
"That's right."
Karuizawa Kei originally just said this for the sake of speaking quickly, but after hearing what Wu Yi said, she immediately stopped worrying about it.
Wu Yi rubbed the girl's head, then turned and walked to the door where Nogi brought a box of milk and fruit.
"Okay, don't worry about that. The competition is in three days. Let's go and see what's inside. Maybe there's cantaloupe? Come to think of it, I haven't eaten cantaloupe in a long time..."
……
Three days passed in a flash, and it was the day of the agreed competition, at a construction site somewhere in Tokyo with a sign saying "No entry for non-related personnel".
This is an abandoned building on the verge of demolition. It used to be the most prosperous department store in Tokyo in the last century. It was a real department store where you could buy anything related to life, whether it was food, clothing, or daily necessities.
But with the development of modern society and the quickening pace of life, the traditional department store where people go purely for shopping has gradually faded out of people's sight. Instead, they have been replaced by commercial plazas that include more elements, integrating eating, drinking, playing and having fun. Shopping in supermarkets has become a little sweet instead.
The traditional department stores that are able to survive today have all, without exception, transformed in time and boarded the ship of the online shopping era.
As for those who failed to successfully transform, their business will only deteriorate, and eventually they will go bankrupt and be completely defeated.
The building in front of Wu Yi at this moment is a good example.
Just like the last time they seized the membership of Kengan, this time they still came here in Sakayanagi Arisu's special car. When they arrived, there were already quite a few cars parked outside the abandoned building. At a glance, it was no surprise that all of them were worth more than 10 million yen.
"There are quite a few wealthy dog owners watching the game today. It looks like we can make some money."
Wu Yi took the lead and walked in the construction site, holding his mobile phone and constantly comparing it with the messages sent by Qiu Shanfeng before.
According to the text message, there was still half an hour until the game started, and the venue was the underground parking lot when the building was originally a department store.
Since it is an underground parking lot, it must be on the first floor below ground.
Although all the signboards have been removed, leaving only the bare, unfinished building, the entrance to the underground garage is still easy to find. Just walk down when you see a jagged, curved cement road leading underground.
Five minutes later, as Wu Yi and others followed the passage to the underground floor, the unique cold atmosphere of the underground space immediately enveloped them, stimulating every inch of their skin.
But at the same time, a more intense atmosphere was spreading.
If there is still an abandoned building with no one on the ground in this place, then there must be some small group of like-minded people gathering underneath.
A lot of people in suits appeared in the parking lot where even the floor had been scraped away, leaving only the bare concrete ground covered with dust. However, they didn't care at all that their expensive leather shoes and trousers might be dirty by the dust, and they chatted excitedly with other people dressed in the same way.
In the center of all the people was a circular open space. A tall man with messy blond hair like a lion was exercising to warm up. He was only wearing a pair of sports shorts, revealing his muscular body.
"Why is it always in such strange places..." Karuizawa Kei complained.
The last time it was under a reservoir that hadn't been built yet, and this time it was in an abandoned building. It felt like this wasn't a decision about a 10 billion dollar business deal, but more like a duel between beggars' gangs.
"There's nothing we can do. This is how underground fighting competitions work. After all, we can't fight openly in broad daylight, or we'll be arrested by the police." Wu Yi shook his head.
At the same time, someone in the crowd in front seemed to notice the situation here and pushed through the crowd and walked out.
It was Nogi Hideki, the president of Nogi Group who had previously commissioned Wu Yi.
"You are here."
Nogi Hideki said "you guys" but just nodded to Wu Yi, then looked at the frizzy-haired blond man in the middle of the crowd who was still exercising and talking to a short man who looked like a shemale.
"That's your opponent for this tournament, the exclusive fighter of Yiwu Real Estate, the razor-edge 'Rito'."

"Razor's Edge? It sounds very powerful."
Wu Yi smiled indifferently, without asking too much about the opponent, and continued to walk forward. When he passed Nogi, he put on his sunglasses and waved behind him.
"Okay, I'll be back soon. The battle will be over in about two minutes. If you want to place a bet, please hurry up."
"How much are you betting this time? A small bet of 100 million?" Arisu Sakayanagi took out a bank card from behind with a smile.
"It doesn't matter. The more you bet, the more you earn. The less you bet, the less you earn. Anyway, you won't lose money."
Wu Yi walked into the bustling crowd ahead without looking back.
He pushed aside the thick wall of people and came to the open space in the center. At the same time, the manager who arrived early also finished warming up. Seeing someone suddenly coming in front of him, he immediately turned his attention. A look of arrogance and provocation appeared on his face, which did not look very smart.
"Why, are you my opponent in this battle?"
"what--"
Wu Yi didn't look at him at all, nor did he pay attention to the question. He just let out a long breath and raised his head to look up.
There is a huge circular hole in the ceiling of the underground parking lot, running through several floors.
Looking up from the underground first floor here, you can see the floor plates from the fifth to the sixth floor.
It was like a hammer had punched through so many floor boards from top to bottom.
"It really looks like a Colosseum, don't you think?" Wu Yi pointed at the edge of the hole in the upper floor, "It's a pity that there are so few people, otherwise it would be very interesting if it was full of people."
"what?"
Li Ren's eyes were wide open, one larger than the other, and his face was filled with an expression that said "what the hell are you talking about?"
"Hey, stop talking nonsense by yourself. I'm asking you a question. Are you the fighter from the Nogi Group?"
"Me?" Wu Yi thought for a moment. "To be honest, it's not like that. But this time, the fighter from their group was feeling a little unwell, so they paid me to help fight. By the way, I heard from them that your nickname is Razor's Edge?"
"…Razor's Edge?"
Hearing this name, Rito bent down slightly for a moment and laughed softly, imitating the berserk Yagami.
"Don't get me wrong, that's just a nickname they gave me. My real title is—Manager!"
"It sounds more like a name than a nickname." Wu Yi complained lightly, "And even if it's a nickname, didn't you leave out a word? For example, it should be called Science Man?"
"How do you know I graduated from Imperial University?"
"Where are you from, fisherman?"
The two of them casually complained to each other for a few times. It was not that they deliberately exchanged verbal attacks before the fight to undermine the other party's psychological defenses. It was just that the time had not come yet and the official referee of the Kengan Association had not arrived yet, so they just chatted casually.
After talking nonsense for a while, Wu Yi suddenly turned his gaze to Li Ren's hands that fell naturally on both sides of his body.
"So, your razor is actually your finger?"
"Well……"
Li Ren's expression, which had been very natural just now, froze for a moment.
Although he didn't admit it, this reaction undoubtedly confirmed Wu Yi's guess 100%.
"Well, I have some knowledge about the various parts of the human body. The only parts that can be used as razors are fingers, toes, and elbows."
Wu Yi raised his chin. "But your toes clearly show no signs of systematic training, and your standing posture doesn't seem to belong to any fighting style. The muscles around your shoulders aren't particularly developed, and you don't have the body type that someone who's training in the Casira class should have. So if you rule it out, the only possible option is your fingers, right? Otherwise, it can't be your hair, which is hardened hair and has a meatball impact, right? You're not Akimichi Choji."
"Uh……"
After a thorough analysis, the manager's expression became even uglier.
At this moment, a voice resembling that of the Emperor of the Universe Frieza came from behind him.
"There's no need to waste time talking to him. It doesn't matter even if he sees through you. Believe that no one can stop your razor!"
The person who spoke was the short man who was suspected to be a transvestite that Wu Yi had seen on the outskirts before. To give a brief description of his appearance, he was probably Ivankov from One Piece with a super short buzz cut and a smaller body.
The short man held the square-framed glasses on his face with one hand, and his thin body under the gay purple striped suit was twisted into an enchanting but very eye-catching posture, but he spoke loudly and powerfully.
Gift crab...
Wu Yi held his forehead slightly to block the front of his sunglasses, indicating that he was under mental attack.
"That's your president? Is he LGBT?"
"L...what?"
The manager's English is stuck.
"Shemale."
Wu Yi changed her words to a less euphemistic one.
"Oh, that's not the case." Li Ren understood now, nodded and then quickly shook his head, "He just has a weird taste in clothes, but he's actually a pretty normal person."
"understood."
I think you are not normal either...
Wu Yi added in his heart.
After chatting for a while, finally, accompanied by the sound of an alarm clock in the crowd, a referee in the Kengankai uniform pushed through the crowd and walked out to the two of them.
"I am the referee of Kengankai, responsible for deciding the outcome of this tournament. You two should be the fighters representing Nogi Group and Yoshitake Real Estate respectively, right?"
"That's right!" The manager rubbed his hands ready to go.
"Yeah." Wu Yi responded with a yawn.
