**********

Although Yuki made it appear as if he barely won thanks to luck, only Izaya understood what his real intentions were, and that's to keep the odds high against him so that he could gain more from his future bets in his next fights!

Yuki calmly exited the stage while listening to the speechless announcer announcing his victory and thinking 'I will milk this money cow as much as possible'

Then, he went to the room where he previously made his bet and faced the same rude receptionist. However, this time she had no scorn on her face and only stared at Yuki speechlessly as he said to her "Can I get my money?"

As if waking up from a dream, she quickly stumbled in her words saying "y-yes, do you want it cash or do you want it sent to your bank account?"

"Send it to my account" said Yuki and as the woman was working on this, he took out his phone to check if he received his money or not and a smug smile appeared on his face when the previous 0 on his bank account turned into a big fat 200000 Yen!

"Congratulations sir" said the receptionist with an ugly smile on her face and Yuki ignored her awkwardness and said "When can I book another fight?"

The receptionist was surprised and couldn't help but say "Sir, you won't be getting lucky every day, you better stop when you can"

'Bitch, are you trying to ruin my money making plan?' Yuki's twisted mind didn't consider at all that this girl was saying this to his benefit, especially since they started on the wrong foot…

So, he said with an annoyed tone "Please answer my question"

Seeing that the masked skeleton in front of her didn't heed her advice, the receptionist didn't bother with him anymore and put on her professional attitude and started listing the opponents and dates he could fight in.

Since Yuki received the new mission from the system, he decided to analyses his opponents some more and wouldn't pick anyone that appeared to be inhuman in any way just in case the system tries any trickery.

So, after filtering his choices, he ended up picking a fight with a boxer that had a record of 7-3 in the arena, all by knockouts.

But Yuki wasn't intimidated because as long as his opponent was a normal human and he could win perfectly against them, nothing else mattered to him so he picked this fight for tomorrow…

"See you tomorrow then" said Yuki as he turned around to leave and the receptionist couldn't help but mutter to herself "Hope you get your face smashed… Tch" but she immediately shat up when Yuki's eerie eyes stared at her, clearly he heard her...

After Yuki left, she finally let out a sigh of relief "Ahh how scary..."

*****

The moment Yuki left the arena, he was actually stopped by Izaya and Saki, and the latter ran at him with tears streaming from his eyes as he said "Thank you so much"

Yuki, understanding this man's situation, decided to not KO him the way he did to Kaku and he let him hug him while saying "You made the choice so you don't have to thank me, although I would love it if you thank me with money... You too Izaya" Yuki had a greedy look on his face that made Saki immediately get away from him.

Meanwhile, Izaya seemed to be looking at his phone in amusement, and Yuki noticed that he was looking at a huge number that was just added to his bank account, a number bigger than his own which made him frown as Izaya said "Yuki-kun stop day dreaming and tell me, when are you going to fight next"

Yuki glared at him, but before he could reply, Saki immediately interjected with a surprised look on his face and said " Yuki-kun, you shouldn't fight again in this arena, you might not get lucky again. Not to mention, the more you fight, the stronger your opponents would be"

'This bitch also wants to ruin my mo- Nah he's probably worried' thought Yuki before he said "Don't worry Saki-san, I feel like my luck didn't run out yet"

'Plus, I don't want to lose 20% of my hard-earned attributes!' thought Yuki with a sigh

"But yo-" Saki tried to convince Yuki against this but Izaya interrupted hiù thinking 'This idiot want to ruin my fun and easy money' and said enthusiastically "Oh, that's great, when's your next fight? I can't wait to bet on you again"

Yuki glared at him before he said "Find out yourself"

Izaya simply smiled and said "Fine I will, and I'm sure I will bet more than you again hahahaha, see you around, Yuki-kun" before he turned around and left

"Tch, what a bastard" Said Yuki before he turned to Saki and said "Well, it's time for me to leave too, take care"

Saki looked at him worriedly before he said "Take care" and Yuki noticed that his fists were clenched but he decided to simply nod at him and leave, not expecting to meet this man whom he helped on a whim again…

'Time to pay off the rest of my debt to Silent, I feel like it won't end well if I trick him...' thought Yuki as he took out his phone and sent a message to Silent to meet him near the train station while he went to draw out some money from the ATM.

*****

Outside the arena, a man and a woman were currently walking in the direction opposite of it, clearly they were just leaving it. One was a black-haired muscular man and the other was a seductive-looking pink-haired woman.

They were Kuro and Diana, the two that Yuki briefly met on the fighter and drunk bar, and they were currently discussing the weird fight Yuki just had…

"I can't believe that kid somehow won" Said Diana with an intrigued look on her face and Kuro simply stayed silent keeping his thoughts to himself

"Do you think he will fight again in the arena?" asked Diana after seeing that Kuro didn't reply to her first question and the latter surprisingly replied with conviction to this question saying "Yes he will"

"Oh, what makes you so sure?" Asked Diana curious since she didn't think too highly of that Yuki kid, but Kuro thought otherwise as he said "And the boss was right, that kid is dangerous" before he fell silent again and Diana was about to ask him what he meant when suddenly, they found a huge half naked bald man blocking their way and muttering with a venomous hatred coming from his eyes

"I can't believe I trusted that kid and actually ended up getting robbed by him, and that other bastard too, I will never forget this humiliation!" This was of course big dumbo who got tricked by Yuki.

Then, his eyes landed on the hot looking Diana and they immediately lit up as he completely disregarded the well-built Kuro and approached them saying "Hey, you two, give me your money or I wi-"

However, before could even finish what he was saying, he felt something touch his stomach and the scenery around him started changing rapidly as if he was riding on a motorcycle before his back smashed on the wall of a building and his lights went out…

"Damn it Kuro, that guy's probably dead" said Diana with a wry smile, but Kuro simply kept on walking without bothering at all with the bug that just blocked his way…

'Do not disappoint me kid' thought Kuro as a dangerous light flashed through his eyes spelling trouble for good old Yuki…

*****

Back at the Rosa Villa Sasazuka, the first thing Yuki did was return to Mashiro the money she spent earlier in the day, of course, he only returned to her what she spent for the room itself, as for what she bought for herself was her own business 'I ain't that rich yet' thought Yuki before he laid down in his bed and started thinking about his poor bank account that already got more than half of it wiped from existence.

'I shouldn't have let Mashiro buy whatever she wanted, that was a big mistake' thought Yuki while shooting Mashiro who was drawing on her desk a terrifying glare before he stared at his ceiling thoughtfully 'I still have the debt I have to repay to my landlords… Tch what a mess'

While Yuki was thinking about his future, Mashiro suddenly approached him and said "Yuki I'm hungry" while rubbing her tummy.

'Do I look like a chef to you?' Yelled Yuki inside his head before he let out a sigh and said "Okay, it's indeed time for dinner"

Then he stood up and went to prepare dinner, now having better ingredients, but just as he thought his life couldn't get any worse, he suddenly heard a knocking on the door, and he had a bad feeling about it.

But the clueless Mashiro didn't and seeing Yuki occupied, she went to open it directly "No stop Mashiro, don't open the door to the devil!"

But it was too late, and once Mashiro opened the door, she was greeted by her two 'honest' looking neighbors Ashiya and Maou and the latter immediately said with a wide smile "Mashiro-chan, since this is your first day here, we thought we should celebrate it together, what do you think?"

Mashiro was delighted by her neighbors welcoming her like this but Yuki behind her was gritting his teeth while looking at the evil light emanating from Maou's and Ashiya's eyes while staring at the new things they bought for the room

'This is bad, I can't let these demons into my house' thought Yuki before he quickly appeared behind Mashiro and tried to close the door but Maou blocked it with his hand and Yuki noticed that he was using magic so it didn't budge at all despite his immense strength!

'This bastard, actually using what remained of his magic for such a petty reason!' yelled Yuki as he heard Maou say "Yuki-kun, I hope you prepared a nice feast for Mashiro-chan, you seem to be well off so I'm sure you are not going to be stingy, Let celebrate today!"

'These two are clearly here for war' thought Yuki while staring at the demons in front of him, but the stupid Mashiro only thought that they were nice neighbors so she turned to Yuki and said "Yuki, let's have dinner together"

However, the moment she turned around, the two demons finally showed their true nature as they smiled evilly at Yuki, clearly having fun at his misfortune, but looking at Mashiro's innocent eyes, Yuki finally gave up and let out a sigh before he said "Fine, they can eat with us today"

But then he shot the two demons an evil look that said 'You two fuckers steal anything from me and you will see what happens'

Maou and Ashiya could tell clearly that they provoked a beast, but they still entered Yuki's room fearlessly and started appreciating the huge changes that happened to it while thinking with a smirk 'Our trump card is on the way, let's see how you handle it, little devil'

If only Yuki knew that his troubles were only starting and their finishing move was on its way…
