Sakuragi Hanamichi and Aota Nobunaga pressed their foreheads together, glaring at each other with murderous looks, neither willing to back down.
Just then, Mu Shenyi suddenly spoke. "Kaneda, you don't know about the National Tournament either, do you?"
"We're going to miss the train."
Hearing that, Sakuragi Hanamichi turned to look at Mu Shenyi.
"Hey, old man, where are you going?"
Mu Shenyi replied.
"Do you know Aichi Star?"
"No."
Sakuragi Hanamichi answered bluntly.
Aota Nobunaga gave a disdainful snort. "Tch, see, Maki Shinichi?"
Then he added, "Do you want to come take a look too?"
At that, Sakuragi Hanamichi's expression turned serious. He had competed in the National Tournament too.
Mu Shenyi chuckled. "Hmph, what do you think?"
The members of the Sakuragi Gang, who had been ignored at the side, stared blankly at the three of them. None interrupted; they simply watched quietly.
In the end, Sakuragi Hanamichi decided to follow Mu Shenyi and take a look at this guy called Aichi Star.
As they watched the three leave, the Sakuragi Gang wore complicated expressions.
"Oh, Sakuragi?"
"He's completely obsessed with basketball now. No matter what, he's already a player drawing attention in the industry."
"What a total amateur. We were all fooled by him. Basketball really is an interesting sport."
The red light came on, and the traffic slowly came to a stop.
In the back seat of a private car by the roadside, Chi Tong rested his fingertips against the edge of the window, his gaze landing on the noisy crowd at the street corner.
Mu Shenyi's retreating figure, Aota Nobunaga's slender crew cut, and Sakuragi Hanamichi's striking red hair all entered his view clearly.
He did not get out of the car. He merely watched quietly as the three went from arguing to traveling together,
