Chapter 242 - Chapter 228: The President's Support

Obelisk the Tormentor, reclaimed!

Thus, the original Three Egyptian God Cards have temporarily all come into Youyu's possession.

Rafael's two Guardian Elves disappeared under the superconductive wave of Osiris, suffering what seemed to be significant damage. Obelisk the Tormentor was also taken, making this operation undoubtedly a loss.

However, it wasn't over yet.

The roar of engines rose in the air, and steel birds appeared one after another under the pitch-black night sky. The rotors kicked up a wild gale on the ground, blowing so fiercely that it was hard to breathe.

The searchlights shot downward like sharp swords crossing each other, and the logo "KC" was clearly printed on the black steel shell of the helicopter. That was the mark of the Kaiba Group.

Unnoticed, the surroundings were already tightly packed with the black suits from the Kaiba Group. Black cars blocked the intersections like barricades, and helicopters roared, hovering in mid-air.

The searchlights converged on the Three Musketeers' feet, accurately marking their position.

"Whoa, whoa, this is a bit of a mess." Valon of the Three Musketeers smiled wryly, "This is not how we imagined it."

Rafael just collected his two injured elves and frowned as he looked around at the black suits and helicopters.

"Didn't expect even the Kaiba Group to get involved, quite the big fuss." He said calmly, "I thought the Kaiba Group and the Dark Duelist association weren't on good terms."

"It's because of that Duel King named Youyu, isn't it?" Valon glanced at Youyu not far away, "I heard Kaiba seems to fancy that kid... Honestly, so do I. He's interesting, and if there's a chance, I'd like to duel him too."

"Next time." As Rafael spoke, he had already mounted his motorcycle, "Let's call it a day for now, time to go."

Yet amongst the Three Musketeers, only Amelda stood unmoved, glaring up at the Kaiba Group helicopters in the sky, looking like he wanted to tear down those iron pieces himself.

"Amelda." Rafael said calmly, "I know you have a grudge with Kaiba, but not today, not now. You will get your chance, but first, we must retreat today."

Amelda frowned: "But with our power, there's no need to fear…"

"Not today." Rafael interrupted him.

"... Fine."

Amelda gave the Kaiba Company's helicopters a vicious glare, then turned and returned to his motorcycle.

The Three Musketeers simultaneously revved their engines, and the black motorcycles shot off like arrows, charging straight towards the line set by the Kaiba Company!

Looks like these three are not only skilled at dueling, but probably good riders too. As the three motorcycles approached the line of cars, the front wheels lifted abruptly, soaring over the tops of the cars like flying over hurdles, before speeding off in three different directions.

"Don't let them get away!" Uncle Izono, once again tasked with the vanguard role, shouted into his radio, "Get after them!"

The Kaiba Company's black suits immediately sprang into action. A large wave of cars followed in pursuit, trailing behind the Musketeers' motorcycles in a scene that seemed like a Duelist version of Fast and Furious. Helicopters split into three units to chase from the air, tracking the Musketeers' positions through the bustling streets.

The chase was quite a spectacle, as the Kaiba Company showcased what local dominance truly meant.

The helicopters and cars were not all. Soon, even the local police department joined in to assist in the pursuit of the Doma Three Musketeers—rumors said they were claimed to be terrorists.

Therefore, the police turned a blind eye to the Kaiba Company's black suits overtaking, running red lights, going the wrong way, driving on sidewalks, and even crashing, deploying full police force to chase the three motorcycles across the city.

The scene looked like a classic Hollywood car chase set.

Of course, even though Youyu wasn't involved, it was clear to anyone that they weren't going to catch them.

After all, neither Kaiba's black suits nor Domino's police could duel...

However, Kaiba as the president was impressive, like a mysterious organization in the movies staging such a grand scene. And it was right at a critical moment when the Duel Monsters' 3D Imaging System accident was putting immense pressure on the company...

One wonders how many duels the president will need to play to smooth things over.

A helicopter descended. The cabin door opened mid-air, and President Kaiba, with his coat billowing, leapt out of the cabin, demonstrating once again his superhuman physique by landing from the air.

Youyu mused that with the president's physique, brawling might not yield much result against him...

The Nightwalker side was now overjoyed.

As Rafael had said, in the past, Kaiba himself always sneered at the idea of the "Darkness Game", thus he was greatly averse to the Dark Duelist organization.

No one expected that when the Nightwalker World was attacked this time, President Kaiba would uncharacteristically bring a team to help them... and in such a grand style, leaving everyone slightly unprepared.

President Tosawa Mukuro signaled for his subordinates to help him to his feet, smiling as he stepped forward to greet: "President Kaiba! Long time no see..."

However, the president paid him no mind, as if he wasn't there, brushing past to head straight to Youyu.

President Mukuro was left hanging on one side, but he didn't seem to mind and kept smiling.

President Kaiba Seto suddenly changing his attitude and showing up to help them was something President Mukuro slightly suspected the reason for.

But it didn't matter, giving face to Youyu was practically giving face to the entire Nightwalker World.

Yet, if anyone dared look down on our Duel King? Sorry, but this gentleman (or lady) might just have to be invited to the Nightwalker World for a deep discussion with the big brothers about life experiences.

Truth be told, President Mukuro had long suggested leaving the president's position to Youyu. Although Youyu was a new member and hadn't been in the organization long, there would likely be no objections from the organization if he were given the role.

But when he brought up the idea to Youyu, he was firmly rejected. The reason being that Youyu claimed he wasn't mature enough to shoulder the responsibility and needed to continue learning and evolving to become what the organization needed...

... Okay, basically he was just lazy.

Being president was merely a nicer-sounding title, without substantial benefits. It required handling various internal affairs, socializing, and occasionally mingling with leaders from other organizations...

All quite exhausting.

Currently, Youyu could basically utilize the entire association's resources at will, so he had no real interest in the position of president.

However, other members who heard this story thought differently.

They all felt that Youyu's image in their hearts had risen to another level! Not only was he handsome and excellent at dueling, but he was also friendly and seemed uninterested in fame or power!

Such a good person is rare, even with a lantern to search!

Unintentionally, Youyu's prestige within the organization rose once more...

At this moment, the president walked over to Youyu, just in time to see the "Obelisk the Tormentor" card retrieved from Doma in his hand, and cracked a smile, seemingly in approval.

However, for some reason, now whenever the president showed approval, Youyu felt a bit anxious inside...
