Chapter 42: The Approaching Hunt
Underground Palace!
This was the name Marik gave it.
As the name suggests, it was a maze-like city secretly hidden beneath Domino City.
Its vast scale exceeded Yu Miao's imagination.
"Before Domino City was built, this place was constructed with heavy investment by a mysterious wealthy individual."
"Master Marik found this place quite suitable. Coincidentally, he was coming to this city ahead of schedule, so..."
So you Egyptian tycoons bought it, right?
Yu Miao's fist clenched tightly!!
He knew the Tomb Keepers were rich, equivalent to those Saudi oil tycoons in his past life.
But he never expected it to be this exaggerated.
Do you Tomb Keepers accept outsiders?
Yu Miao thought Ishtar was quite good.
Don't misunderstand, he simply genuinely thought Ishtar was really nice.
Odion felt Yu Miao was thinking of something inappropriate, but unfortunately, he had no evidence!
The two entered the underground palace through a secret entrance, walking down a winding staircase for a few minutes.
Yu Miao saw a group of... ahem "Gentlemen" and Panther Lady guarding outside.
"What are you doing here?"
"Well... Master Marik told me to bring these men to stand guard outside."
Having a headquarters meeting, yet Panther Lady, as a leader, is stationed outside with these gentlemen acting as bodyguards...
She seems somewhat sidelined.
Oh, Yu Miao remembered.
When Marik was controlling Keith, he was almost subjected to that... "Ultimate Insult".
Afterwards, not holding a grudge against Panther Lady and her crew was already a sign of Marik letting it go completely, considering Yu Miao's face.
Bidding farewell to the pitiful Panther Lady.
Odion led Yu Miao into the inner hall.
Yu Miao looked around. Many hunters wearing the standard Rare hunters uniform were gathered here.
Good lord...
Not noticeable in the original story, but there are really so many of these Ghouls hunters.
These Rare hunters rarely gathered privately. Once they were together, they had to boast!
Like how they robbed someone's rare card, or stole electric bikes when they had no money for food...
A bunch of talents, speaking exceptionally well.
But Yu Miao didn't like it here.
Because these people were too low-level. Robbing someone's cards and only taking one?
Are they worthy of the title 'Rare Hunter'?
When Odion stepped in, the atmosphere, previously filled with boasting, immediately tensed up.
Everyone knew Marik trusted Odion the most; he was the second-in-command of the Rare hunters.
"Is that man Yu Miao?"
"The one who defeated our leader..."
"I heard he had three heads and six arms. Turns out he looks just like a normal person."
"Just like us? Stop flattering yourself. He's much better-looking than you."
Instantly, the atmosphere, which had quieted down because of Odion, became noisy again.
The center of discussion among these people shifted entirely to Yu Miao.
Not just these lousy Rare hunters, but even those with relatively high positions in the organization focused their gaze on Yu Miao.
Lumis & Umbra!!
"Lumis, tell me, what qualifies this guy to be at our level, and even have privileges we don't?" the one wearing half a mask said sourly.
"Umbra, why are you stating the obvious?"
The Mask brothers clearly distrusted Yu Miao's strength.
As for the rumor that he single-handedly defeated several base leaders?
You'd rather believe this ridiculous rumor than believe that us, Lumis & Umbra, can defeat Yugi Muto?
Yu Miao didn't care about the jealousy of these two lousy Mask brothers, not even giving them a glance.
Because this pair of advanced experience bags was far less attractive to him than someone else.
That was Pandora!!
Indeed.
Pandora, the magician user, was also present at today's headquarters gathering.
he discovered a wild Pandora!
The Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon in Yu Miao's warehouse was getting restless...
Being ignored was simply an insult.
The two Masked brothers were displeased and wanted to teach Yu Miao a lesson on this important occasion.
"Brat!"
"We, the Masked brothers, are right here. Don't you know how to greet your seniors?"
Yu Miao didn't want to deal with these two, but because of the provocation.
A side quest popped up!
[Side Quest: Mask Rebellion]
Details: During an important Rare hunter gathering, Lumis & Umbra have issued you a duel challenge. They intend to prove in front of all Rare hunters that you are just a fraudulent duelist.
Objective: Achieve victory.
Reward: Rare "Powerful" Trap Card*1
Penalty: Lose a random "UR" Trap Card*1
Bonus: After winning the duel, the trigger effect of "Path of the Duelist" is enhanced. The drop quantity of "Original Work 'Exclusive Character' Card Packs" increases.
"A rare 'Powerful' Trap Card?"
How powerful is it?
"Evenly Matched?"
"Infinite Impermanence?"
Or the inhumane "Skill Drain"...
Yu Miao's original target was Pandora, but with the Masked brothers stirring things up, he became interested in this powerful trap card.
"Let's see just how powerful this trap card is!" Yu Miao looked at the Mask brothers and said, "Since we're mutually displeased with each other, let's settle it with a duel."
The two Mask brothers looked at each other, then showed malicious smiles.
Was this Yu Miao planning to 1v2?
Hahahaha, what a fool.
Even Yugi Muto wouldn't dare face the two of them alone!
Just as the duel was about to begin.
"How about letting me join this duel as well."
Marik suddenly appeared from the other side, with Odion following beside him.
"M-M-Master Marik?" Upon seeing him, the two Mask brothers immediately transformed from arrogant hooligans into stammering cowards.
Lumis & Umbra backed down!
"My stomach suddenly hurts terribly."
"Ahhh, my backside hurts."
The Mask brothers declared their surrender. Who would dare duel Marik?
Wouldn't that be idiotic?
Seeing the familiar duck about to fly away, Yu Miao immediately noted down a black mark against Marik in his little book.
Year Month Day, that lousy guy Marik caused me to lose a rare powerful trap card.
He also has a reason to die!
"Master Marik, how about I partner with Yu Miao to duel against Lumis & Umbra?" The bald Odion suddenly spoke up.
The fastest way to understand someone is undoubtedly through a duel!
Odion planned to team up with Yu Miao for a tag duel.
Marik nodded under Odion's expectant gaze.
"Then you and Yu Miao partner up to duel against Lumis & Umbra."
Night.
Several helicopters appeared in the pitch-black night sky, each bearing the KC logo on its fuselage.
This area had already been surrounded by KaibaCorp's armed forces.
On one helicopter that resembled a "Blue-Eyes White Dragon" in appearance.
Clank~
The door was forcefully pulled open.
"Brother, stop it!"
"Kaiba, a true duelist must never be bound by common sense!"
Mokuba's words couldn't sway Seto Kaiba's actions. His tall figure directly leaped downwards.
"Brother, you haven't put on a parachute yet!" This was what Mokuba found hardest to accept.
However, to Mokuba's disbelief, Seto Kaiba successfully landed on the ground relying solely on his physical prowess.
—Brother, is this the 'science' you always talk about?
As Kaiba landed successfully, several mercenaries equipped with parachutes seemed to receive an order.
Holding state-of-the-art tranquilizer rifles, they began to descend.
Tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
