Yu-Gi-Oh! Your Friends Are Fighting Out of the Underworld

Chapter 291 Paradis Group
So what exactly is the Duel King?

Although it is highly respected in the sequel GX anime, it was not a big deal in the original. In the spin-off manga and the movie "Pyramid of Light", there are passersby who dare to come and challenge and demand the three Egyptian Gods. The spin-off even involves a conspiracy.

However, given that the 'Dark Game' was never revealed in the original work, that state of affairs is not surprising.

But things are different here. The invasion and awakening caused by the dimensional fusion have made most people aware of the destructive power of those entities. Under these circumstances...

"I don't even know where to begin complaining."

Looking at the pot-bellied, sweating middle-aged man in front of him, You Ming couldn't help but yawn.

"They don't even know the duelists, yet they're being so attentive. This is really..."

Then he saw that the man in front of him seemed to be trembling even more violently.

During the time that You Ming remained silent due to his limited vocabulary, the man was like a piece of jelly trembling on a chopping board.

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, Duel Monsters has only really entered the public eye for a month or two. His level is obviously not high enough to attract attention to that kind of thing from the beginning."

"Like those relatives who are arranged by high-ranking officials to make appearances and do idle jobs?"

"Pretty much. After all, at this point in time, most collaborations are nearing completion, and all that's left is the handover process..."

At this point, Keihei Kaiba suddenly laughed.

"Hmm, speaking of which, I think I saw you at the meeting at Seahorse Park? I remember you were following...who?"

The boy, who looked naive but was actually quite experienced, simply smiled, while the man standing in front of him was already sweating profusely.

Seeing the stunned look on his face, Kaiba Keihei just scratched his head:
"Brother, I've forgotten who he is."

"Humph……"

The president, who had been silent until now, simply gave him a helpless look.

“I have no interest in the name of ants... but I would like to tell your boss that I want to renegotiate the investment in urban development.”

"Yes, I understand!"

Construction, investment, renegotiation...

When these words are put together, it's not hard to draw a conclusion:
"Are you trying to use my title as the Duel King of the game to make a fuss?"

"whatever you think."

"But, brother is doing this for the good of everyone else. Considering the special nature of duelists, brother has devised many plans. Our Kaiba Group has acquired many islands, plans to establish a dedicated academy, and if necessary, will even build a city specifically for duelists..."

"Kuihei!"

Finally, his younger brother's incessant self-deprecation drew a rebuke.

Immediately, that sharp gaze swept over:
"Your International Illusion Society has been quite active lately, and the Schreid Group has also been making quite a splash in Europe."

What does that have to do with me?

Yu Ming really wanted to speak up, but unfortunately, Mr. Kaiba still tacitly acknowledged his close ties with the International Illusion Society and didn't give him a chance to speak at all.

Or rather, even if he tried to explain, no one would believe him.

"Lord Yuming, you've finally arrived."

When the group officially arrived at the president's office on the top floor via elevator, they saw that the special operations team led by Pegasus Night Walker—card experts—had already lined up in two rows.

Right in front of them, Tenma Tsukiyuki, who was temporarily acting as president, also walked over quickly.

"And fellow duelists, the International Illusion Society welcomes you."

At this point, Yuexing looked at Yexing, who in turn looked towards the door.

“Scott, keep everyone away for a while... Also, you can bring that guy over.”

"Yes, yes, yes, anyway, Father only trusts geniuses like you, right?"

Despite saying that, Debley Scott still closed the door.

'thump'

As the sound of the doors closing echoed, an eerie silence instantly filled the room.

After exchanging a glance, the Pegasus brothers were led by the elder brother, Yuexing, who took a step forward.
"In short, please allow us, the International Illusion Society, to apologize for disturbing you at such a crucial moment, but we have no other choice."

Tianma Yuexing operated the buttons on the desk, and soon, a box popped out from a hidden compartment.

Upon opening it, several cards appeared: "First are these cards, which were prepared by Father, who instructed in his letter to make sure they are delivered to you all."

"card?"

"That's right, a card."

Tianma Yuexing sighed.

“Actually, a week ago, around the time Duel City ended, my father sent me a letter. He suspected that he was being tracked by some mysterious force, so he had to send out these unfinished cards ahead of schedule.”

But when the card was fully unfolded, something incomprehensible came into view.

There is no text description, and the card art itself is not particularly refined.

"Gemstones, fangs, and claws? What are these cards?"

The outspoken Jonouchi spoke up.

"Those are legends related to Atlantis."

"what?"

Not anyone present responded.

When everyone turned around, they saw that the door, which had been closed, had been reopened.

At the same time, the visitor entered the room.

Under the glow of the floor-to-ceiling windows, the pristine white suit inexplicably appeared gloomy, and beneath the pale blue hair was an androgynous face.

"This guy……"

Upon seeing that face, You Ming's eyes widened in surprise.

Almost at the same time, the effeminate man also turned his gaze in that direction:
"What's wrong, sir?"

"No, it's nothing."

Meeting that gaze that seemed to be scrutinizing something, You Ming yawned.

"I just didn't expect there would be other guests besides us..."

"Lord Youming, please allow me to introduce myself."

Before You Ming could say anything, Tianma Yuexing had already reached the very center:
"This is the president of Paradis Corporation."

"Is Paradis... the Paradis I'm thinking of?"

The seahorse raised its eyebrows.

At the same time, Kaiba Keihei's eyes widened:
"Could it be that famous conglomerate in the United States, whose assets span the military, technology, people's livelihood and even entertainment industries, and which has a presence all over the world?"

"If there are no other companies with the same name, then it must be the business founded by our family."

"Wow, that sounds amazing..."

"But it's just a bloated conglomerate that even the Schreid Group couldn't handle."

Before Jonouchi could fully process his feelings, President Kaiba couldn't help but sneer.

"Twenty years ago, they wanted to get into the European arms market, but were repelled by the Schreid Group. Ten years ago, they also seemed to have offended that guy Gosaburo, and their business suffered a comprehensive blow from the Kaiba Group, completely withdrawing from the arms market competition. Only now that Kaiba has withdrawn from the arms industry can they pick up some scraps..."

To some extent, the seahorse's words could be considered a mockery.

If it were any other young person, they might already be thinking about having sex with this high and mighty dragon at this point.

However, the president of Paradis doesn't seem to have that idea.

"Indeed, as Mr. Seahorse said, our company's business has not been smooth sailing, and we even missed the 'witchcraft card' craze. However, our company still hopes to make some contributions to the world, so let's live in peace."

He smiled and extended his hand:
"Hello, my name is Dazi."

Upon hearing that name, You Ming couldn't help but scratch the back of his head.

"Youming, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just feel like I'm starting to grow a brain."
