"Why should we obey this boy?"

"Why are the branches gathered here?"

"Is something going on?"

"What was the previous head thinking?"

"Worthless. You all are completely worthless," stated Osamu, "it almost brings me to tears knowing you're part of our family. Your banal greed, desires and spite, I'm sick of it. As the head of this family, I reject you all."

"Who is he talking to?!"

"What a brat!"

"If you have a problem with that, bring it. I welcome you to the castle that I created for myself."

"I add 100 chips!"

The crowd gasped in disbelief and happiness.

"You're such a fool making that choice."

"It's absurd that you think I could get back on the council. The President would never allow such an act! And with the way you looked down on me, it's insulting to think I'd trust you again. You once told me, Tsukki, that you and I were the same."

"And because we're the same, I'm going to take you down!"

"Alright. Then the gambling shall resume."

The crowd cheered as both players were dealt their five cards.

"I will exchange two," said Tsukishima.

"Two cards for me too."

Hinata discarded a pair of queens.

"A pair of queens?!"

"Who in their right mind would do that?"

"I don't get it!"

"He must be up to something!"

"Who would've thought he'd try the same move twice? This time, I know he has a weak hand. His aim is to win with the weaker hand. But.."

"Let's move on to the betting phase."

"Hmm, with all these chips, I don't have to be so stingy. I bet 20."

He placed 20 chips in the center of the table.

"He's completely insane," said Kenma.

"What does he plan to do now?" asked Sugawara.

"20? If I don't raise him, I can gamble for the win with just one chip. So, do I give him the right to choose and try my luck? No, with this hand, I've got to go for it. I won't lose the chance to take 200 million!"

Tsukishima moved 20 chips into the center.

"All I need to do is take the high road!"

"I raise you 20 chips."

Hinata laughed.

"That's perfect."

He shoved another 20 chips into the center.

"And I'll raise you 20."

"And I'll raise you ten."

"Seventy-one chips then? That's an uneven number. Let's take this as far as we can!" His eyes were red with passion.

"I'll raise you another 29 chips!"

"What the?!"

"He's going all in?"
