The competition concluded.
Su Yu and Yamamoto's group returned to the film crew's location.
The former still wore a faint smile.
The latter, however, had a dark expression and remained silent.
"Yang Ge, let's go remove the car emblems," Su Yu called out to Zhang Yang from a distance.
"Alright!" Zhang Yang chuckled and went to the props department to get the tools.
Zhang Qingyun also got up, saying, "I'll help!"
The three approached Yamamoto and his team's cars, tools in hand, ready to pry off the emblems.
"Stop!" Yamamoto and the others rushed forward to block them.
Su Yu chuckled, "What, the dignified number one driver of Mt. Akina can't handle a loss?"
Yamamoto Itto's face darkened. After a moment of struggle, he stepped aside.
Seeing this, Zhang Yang grinned and began prying off the emblems with his tools.
Before long, the emblems from all four cars were removed.
"Zhang Qingyun, stick them onto my Wuling," Su Yu handed the emblems to Zhang Qingyun.
The latter was slightly stunned that Su Yu had spoken to him so directly. Then, he quickly took them with a smile and trotted off to affix the emblems.
The number one person in the Chinese music scene, the strongest dark horse of the era's music king, actually spoke to me, Zhang Qingyun, it felt like a dream!
Throughout the process, Yamamoto Itto and his group were filled with rage, but they ultimately restrained themselves from interfering.
"Next is the prize money, transfer it," Su Yu patted the dust off his hands and said smilingly to Yamamoto Itto.
A flicker of malice flashed in the latter's eyes, but it was immediately masked by a smile. "What prize money?"
After speaking, he and the other four looked at Su Yu with what seemed like smiles but weren't.
"Trying to renege? I have a recording right here," Su Yu took out his phone.
He had anticipated this move from the beginning and was prepared.
"We were just joking with you. In Japan, our rule is that a bet only becomes effective after signing and stamping, ask them if you don't believe me," Yamamoto Itto pointed at the other teams and the onlookers, saying triumphantly.
Zhang Yang's temper flared instantly upon hearing this. "Son of a bitch, you idiot, can't take a loss!"
Su Yu reached out to stop him and looked at Yamamoto Itto with a half-smile, asking, "Are you sure you won't pay?"
Yamamoto Itto crossed his arms, leaning against the hood of his car. "Does anyone really take a joke as a serious matter?"
"Alright," Su Yu shook his head. "I initially thought it wasn't easy for you guys, so I was willing to let the money go. Since you're going to be like this, I'll find someone to collect the debt myself."
Four million US dollars was not something he would simply give up on.
"Hahaha, I'd like to see who on Mt. Akina can collect a debt from me, Yamamoto!" Yamamoto Itto said dismissively.
Such bets had no legal effect, and reporting them could even lead to repercussions. It was an internal affair within the circle, which was why he was so brazen.
Su Yu didn't waste any more words with him. He turned to Gu Qianqian and said, "Qianqian Jie, get ready, let's shoot that scene."
"I'm sorry, that was just an internal race. We still have competitions with other teams, so you can't film the movie for now," Yamamoto Itto said with a hearty laugh, sounding very arrogant.
The surrounding onlookers also burst into laughter.
Regardless of anything else, Yamamoto Itto was one of them, so they naturally sided with him.
As for Su Yu and his group, in everyone's eyes, they were just a bunch of Chinese people filming a movie in Japan, and it was up to them to decide how to bully them.
Unexpectedly, Su Yu showed no signs of panic.
He continued to smile at Yamamoto Itto, "I don't think you know who the investor of the film crew is, do you?"
Yamamoto Itto sneered, "I don't care who your investor is. If a bunch of Chinese people come to film in Japan, they have to follow our Japanese rules!"
Bullying outsiders was something they considered normal.
"Hahaha, Yamamoto is right. If you want to film, you have to show us your sincerity."
"There's a race on Mt. Akina today, so if you want to film, wait until tomorrow."
"What tomorrow? We have races for the next few days. Talk about filming after we're done."
Yamamoto's team members also joined in the laughter.
The onlookers watching the spectacle looked at Su Yu and his group with pity.
Compared to these Chinese people, they preferred to stand with Yamamoto.
"Really?" Su Yu smiled and handed his phone to Yamamoto Itto, turning on the speakerphone.
"Within three seconds, get out of Mt. Akina, all of you, or you'll know the consequences of offending Nive Entertainment."
A cold female voice echoed from the phone.
When Su Yu took out his phone to play the recording earlier, he had already called Morita Yui, and she had heard everything that had happened at the scene.
She never expected these drivers from Mt. Akina to dare to treat her distinguished guests like this!
Therefore, her tone was filled with furious rage!
Hearing this voice.
Yamamoto Itto and his companions were instantly dumbfounded.
Nive Entertainment?
The name was very familiar, so familiar it was etched into their bones.
It was the largest entertainment company in Japan, and that was only a part of it. The company belonged to the Morita family, which was the largest conglomerate in Japan. Not only that, Japan had a unique characteristic: they had the world's only legal organization, and the Morita family held significant influence within this organization.
"You... Who are you?" he asked cautiously.
"Morita Yui."
Boom!
It was as if a thunderclap had exploded in everyone's minds!
Morita Yui!
The second daughter of the Morita family!
The current acting chairman of Nive Entertainment!
Yamamoto Itto's legs went weak, and he instinctively leaned on his car's engine hood.
"How... How is this possible? How could you possibly know Miss Yui!" Even as he spoke, his actions didn't stop. He stumbled into the car, his hands trembling as he started the engine. "Miss Yui, we'll leave immediately!"
Although he found it hard to believe, the name Morita Yui completely stripped him of the courage to gamble, because the price of losing the gamble was too high, so high that just thinking about it sent shivers down his spine!
Therefore, it was better to make a quick escape and figure things out later.
Although it was humiliating, it was better than losing anything else.
The onlookers in the distance, unaware of the situation, were bewildered by Yamamoto Itto's sudden decision to flee.
"What's going on?"
"What are Yamamoto and the others afraid of?"
"Why are they all leaving?"
"Brothers, run! They know Miss Yui!"
"Miss Yui has spoken, leave as soon as possible!!"
Someone shouted, and the crowd erupted in a commotion!
Then, without any hesitation, everyone fled at top speed!
Even the onlookers dispersed in a hurry.
Su Yu, holding his phone, looked at these people in a daze. He didn't know how influential the Morita family was in Japan. He had only intended for Morita Yui to handle such matters herself, as they were surely capable of driving people away, being the largest entertainment company in Japan. He never expected that merely a name would scare everyone into running away.
Was their reaction really that extreme?
Was this Morita Yui that formidable?
If he had known, why bother with the competition...
Su Yu suddenly felt that the bravado he had shown earlier was no longer satisfying.
