Chapter 16: Thousand Gold Arena (Seeking Follow-up Reading)

Wakana finished reading the letter and sighed, "Another story about this casino. This is the fifth one this week."

"But, such a casino should not exist. Only hard work can make you rich. Don't get addicted to gambling. Wakana will be sad."

"Okay, today's mysterious journey is over. Thank you all for your company."

Madoka Wakana turned off the radio and ended the live radio broadcast.

Wakana's voice disappeared from the radio.

"Ah, Princess Wakana, how come it's over so quickly."

Philip lay beside the radio, still unsatisfied.

"Philip, did you hear the letter that Princess Wakana read in the show just now? Many people claimed to have seen a giant black dragon appear in the mirror, and then it disappeared mysteriously..." Shotaro grasped the key point.

"Mirror world, dragon, isn't that..."

Philip pinched his chin: "You mean, it was the mysterious knight who made them disappear?"

"But he saved us twice. He doesn't seem like a bad guy."

Before Shotarou could answer, the door of the office slammed open.

A middle-aged man ran in.

He was very panicked: "Where is Mr. Detective?"

"Please help me!"

When Shotaro saw a customer, he temporarily stopped talking to Philip and stood up to greet him: "Don't be afraid, I'm a tough detective here."

"Did you encounter any incident?"

The middle-aged man nodded immediately: "Ah! My name is Kaga Taizo, and I'm an honest businessman."

"But recently, I received a death notice!"

"Death notice?"

"That's right." Kaga Taizo took out an exquisite card, "Do you know that many people have mysteriously disappeared recently? Before they disappeared, they all claimed that they saw a dragon-like monster in the mirror!!"

"It is said that these people also received a card like this before they encountered the dragon-shaped monster in the mirror!"

"That means the dragon is coming for me!"

Shotaro first asked Kaga Taizo to sit down and then made him a cup of coffee.

"Mr. Kaga Taizo, calm down for a moment."

Shotaro put on his hat and made a pose that he thought was very cool: "No matter what, I'm the Hard-Boiled Detective of Fuuto here, so nothing will happen."

Kaga Taizo held Shotarou's hand and said, "Please protect me, excellent detective!"

Upon hearing this, Shotaro immediately perked up and agreed immediately, "Leave it to me! I will never lose to a guy who is like a rat who only dares to hide in the dark. I will definitely find out his true identity!"

Kaga Taizo was very timid and held Shotaro's hand tightly: "The time on the notice is running out. You must catch him before he hurts me, Detective!"

After a few more instructions, Kaga Yasuzo paid a large deposit and left.

"Ah, Mr. Kaga Taizo is such a kind-hearted man." Shotaro touched the cash he left behind, "That guy actually wanted to murder such a good man, I will never let him succeed!"

"Give me the money! The reward should be kept by the director!" Yashuzi rushed over and snatched the money.

"What? Director? When did you become the director?" Shotaro asked back.

"Because I am the property owner here!" Yashuzi took out the property ownership certificate with a sullen look on his face.

"Ah!!" Shotaro covered his forehead helplessly. Under the pressure of her, he had to hand the money to her.

at this time.

The door of the office opened again.

An elderly couple walked in.

As soon as Shotaro saw the couple, he recognized them immediately.

They are a husband and wife who run a steamed bun and pastry shop on Shengli Street. Their daughter Izumi Yuko helps out in the shop. Because she is friendly and attentive, the shop has become famous and has become a landmark in the area.

"Why are you here?" Shotaro asked.

The male boss explained with a bitter look on his face: "It's our daughter, Yuko."

"She has recently become addicted to gambling. She said she discovered a magical casino called the Thousand Gold Arena, where she could become rich overnight. She became obsessed with the dream of getting rich and completely ignored the store. It's like she has become a completely different person!"

"We hope you can save her!"

"Can I ask you for this, Mr. Detective?"

Shotaro's eyes widened, "The Thousand Gold Arena! Another urban legend?"

After thinking for a moment, he replied:
"I understand. Leave it to me."

"Are you sure, Shotaro? Isn't it too much to accept two commissions in one day?" Philip reminded immediately.

"Don't underestimate my strength." Shotaro put on his hat and walked out of the office.

"The Thousand Gold Arena...if this place really exists, where is it?"

On the streets of Fuuto, Shotaro was thinking as he walked.

According to the description of the shop owner and his wife.

Yuko Izumi hasn't been home for many days and has been lingering in various luxury stores.

Shotaro decided to find Yuko Izumi first, and then follow her to find the so-called Thousand Gold Arena.

So he has walked around the commercial street where the luxury stores are most concentrated for several times.

Finally, he found Yuko Izumi and walked into a jewelry store!
Shotaro quickly followed.

But I have to say, he was quite surprised.

Yuko Izumi was completely different from the gentle and intellectual girl he had in mind. She wore exaggeratedly heavy makeup and was wearing all kinds of luxury goods.

She made a ton of purchases in the jewelry store and was very arrogant and made things difficult for the waiter.

Shotaro shook his head repeatedly: "After not seeing her for a while, she has become like this!"

After Yuuko Izumi's shopping spree in the store, her credit card has been maxed out!
But she wasn't worried at all: "Ah... no money again..."

"In that case, let's go for another gamble!"

As she spoke, Yuko Izumi asked the waiter to pack her shopping and deliver it to her home, then she walked out of the store and headed in a certain direction.

"We're finally going to that place!" Shotaro hurriedly followed.

I saw Yuko Izumi turning around the street and finally coming under an overpass.

Then, a round, golden-clad weirdo came out to greet her: "Welcome, distinguished guest."

"I believe that tonight, you will definitely win big and experience the joy of money!"

Then take her away.

"So that's how it is. This casino is also run by dopamine!" Shotaro quickly walked out from the pillar behind him and shouted, "Stop!"

The fat hybrid monster had round spots shaped like gold coins all over his body, and he looked like a piggy bank.

When he saw Shotaro, he was surprised for a moment, then shouted loudly: "Don't hinder my guests from realizing their dreams of getting rich overnight!"

As it spoke, the golden hybrid monster launched an attack, shooting out coin-shaped light bullets!
Shotaro stopped talking nonsense, put on the driver, and took out the memory: "Philip, transform!"

"Oh, Shotaro!" Philip's voice came immediately.

【Cyclone! 】

【Joker! 】

A hurricane suddenly arose, and Shotarou was covered in black and green armor.

"Sarah, come and count your sins!"
