After offering a slight compliment to V, the face of the person on the jade throne, hidden behind an iron mask, instantly revealed a look of keen interest.

"I never expected that Fica would be able to recruit such a powerful talent. It's really interesting. However, even if we can bypass him and attack Yangdou, if we want to take action against Kaito and that Fica guy, he'll surely come out to stop us sooner or later, right?"

In that case..."

As he spoke, the look in the jade throne's eyes shifted from interest to a gaze filled with murderous intent and malice:

"This person cannot be allowed to live! We must find an opportunity, at any cost, even if it means other than a duel, to eliminate his threat!"

Even the techniques used in Bleach Elementary School are effective in the supernatural world! (Chapter 400)

With Yang Dou brought back by Soleva, the night finally passed without any further incidents, and everyone welcomed the third and final day of the WDC qualifiers.

However, early this morning, Soreva was not spared any rest:

"Seriously, how come someone's cheating again? We kicked out so many cheaters the other day, don't they see what will happen to them?"

Ghosh seemed somewhat unconcerned by Soreva's complaints:

"Isn't this normal? After all, today is the last day. If they don't collect all the Heart Fragments today, they'll miss the rest of the WDC competition."

Faced with this situation, someone will always be willing to take the risk. Therefore, the task of finding someone to cheat is entrusted to you.

"Yes, yes, I know."

Responding, Soreva ran towards the person Ghosh had indicated.

However, when Soreva saw the cheater, his reaction was unusually strange:

Even though he only saw Soleva, he seemed to know that Soleva was there to capture him, and ran away as fast as he could, forcing Soleva to chase after him.

Finally, after a chase, Soreva followed the cheater into a small alley.

As soon as they entered the alley, Soreva saw V hand a card to the cheater and say calmly:

“You did a great job. This card contains the remaining payment for your employment. Now you can leave WDC.”

"Yes."

Taking the bank card from V, the cheater immediately turned and fled the alley with his back to V and Soreva. However, since V was there, Soreva could roughly guess what had happened, so he stopped paying attention to the cheater and simply asked V:

"You hired him to cheat just to lure me here?"

"Yes."

Faced with Soreva's question, V answered without hesitation, but V's answer piqued Soreva's curiosity:

"How do you know you can definitely lure me here? There's more than just me on the WDC's operations committee, and I won't be the only one to catch cheaters."

"This is all thanks to our sleepless analysis of you last night, which led us to discover something very interesting."

Seemingly emboldened by his successful hunt, V now dared to speak freely to Soreva.

“We investigated your identity and learned that you were an operations staff member at WDC. We also investigated the actions of your colleagues during this period.”

As a result, we discovered that your colleagues, while apprehending cheaters, also seemed to be involved in collecting participants' [No.] cards.

"what?"

Soreva never expected to hear such news from V; he had never heard anything like this from Ghosh or Druva before.

However, V seemed unsurprised by Soreva's shock, and instead sowed discord by saying:

"It seems your colleagues don't get along with you, they didn't even tell you something like this."

Soreva remained silent. He didn't think that he and Ghosh could have such a pleasant conversation, and that giving Druva such a favorite card would mean their relationship was strained.

Therefore, there is only one possibility that could prevent Ghosh and Druva from telling Soreva such an important matter:

Mr. Kokoro still harbored resentment because of what happened before and wanted to remove him from the plans related to [No.] Card.

And V also said without any politeness:

"So, we've set a little trap. We'll use the [No.] cards we have to lure all your colleagues away, so that you'll be the only one who gets led here by the cheaters."

"whispering sound!"

After hearing what V said, Soreva immediately retorted disdainfully,

"Very well, your plan has successfully lured me here. But what do you plan to do next? A duel? Don't forget, even with your two younger brothers by your side, you were no match for me before."

However, this time, V did not answer Soreva's question. Instead, a childlike voice came from behind Soreva, answering the question:

"Indeed, even if those two good-for-nothings came, they probably wouldn't be a match for you. So, we plan to use some methods other than duels."

"who!?"

The sound startled Soreva, who immediately turned around. But as soon as he turned, he couldn't see anyone until he looked down and saw the jade throne, which was about the same height as a scepter.

"child?"

Just as Soreva was still wondering, V behind him rushed forward and covered Soreva's mouth and nose with a wet towel. A sweet smell quickly rushed into Soreva's nasal cavity.

"This is……"

Before Soreva could figure it out, he felt a wave of dizziness and quickly lost consciousness, collapsing to the ground after V let go.

However, the throne seemed quite displeased with Soreva's earlier comment about him being a "child," and stepped forward, stomping on Soreva's face.

"What an annoying guy! Who are you calling a child!"

After applying slight pressure with his foot, leaving a shoe print on Soreva's face, the throne addressed V,

“V. Take him back. Since we haven’t caught Yang Dou yet, let’s use him as an experiment first.”

"Yes."

He respectfully answered the throne, but looking at Soreva, who had been drugged with an ether-soaked towel and was now lying on the ground, V felt a rare moment of hesitation.

"Although it's to exact revenge on Dr. Fika, is it really right to harm innocent people like this?"

However, on the surface, V could not resist the throne. He simply picked up Soreva and followed the throne into the depths of the alley.

........................

"Soreva! Wake up! Wake up! Something terrible is about to happen!"

Unsure how long he had been unconscious, Soreva gradually heard Zero's voice in his ears, which made him groggily open his eyes:

"What's wrong……"

It wasn't until he opened his eyes and saw the dimly lit room before him, the crimson emblem around his feet that bathed the entire room in its light, and the jade throne opposite him that looked like it was constipated, that Soreva suddenly came to his senses.

Upon seeing Soreva open his eyes, the already constipated-looking Jade Throne immediately kicked Soreva in the chest, knocking him to the ground.

"Damn it, are you awake? Why! Why can't I take your memories!"

At this moment, Soreva, who was only slightly better off than being completely bewildered, also heard Zero's voice ring out again:

“Soreva, while you were unconscious, this person performed this strange ritual. According to him, he wanted to use the power of this ritual to seize your memories.”

However, because of my power, his ritual failed.

It turned out to be the case.

Just as Soreva finally understood what had happened while he was unconscious, the throne immediately pounced on him, grabbed him by the collar, and questioned him fiercely:

"What are you?! Why is my emblem power ineffective against you?!"

Before you ask that question, I'd like to ask you, who are you?!

Chapter 401 The Past Feud Between the Two Families

Whether taken aback by Soreva's audacity in uttering threats even after being captured, or simply amused, the throne, after a brief moment of stunned silence, burst into laughter, clapping its hands.

"Hahaha! You really are an interesting guy! Since you can make me laugh, I don't mind telling you."

My name is Jade Throne, and whether it's V, III, or IV, they are all my sons.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing the throne's self-introduction, Soreva's gaze drifted to the rather tall V, who was currently in the room, before returning to the childlike throne in front of him.

Finally, after some hesitation, Soreva confirmed with V:

"Is he really your father?"

Seeing that Soreva was asking him a question, V nodded, confirming the throne's statement:

“That’s right, he is my father, the Jade Throne.”

Immediately afterwards, V heard Soreva ask a question that puzzled him:

"Excuse me, may I ask, how many years was your mother sentenced to?"

???

While V was still confused, wondering why Soreva had asked that question, the throne had already figured it out. The smile on his face instantly froze, and he grabbed Soreva's collar again in annoyance:

"Don't treat me like a child! I've always been an adult!"

And V, after realizing what had happened, put aside the slight guilt he had felt for having charmed Soreva, and said to Soreva righteously:

"Although I'm sorry to involve you in our revenge against Fica and his family, I still hope you won't joke about your father's height!"

"If it weren't for Fika, Father wouldn't be like this now!"

"Okay, okay, I apologize."

Seeing that V, who was usually calm and amiable, had also shown a rare expression of anger, Soleva realized that he had stepped on a landmine. He wanted to raise his hands to surrender, but unfortunately, his hands were now bound by ropes and he could not make such a move. In the end, he could only apologize verbally.

However, upon hearing V say this, Soreva realized that V's so-called revenge might just be revenge for Fica turning the throne into this state.

Therefore, Soreva immediately asked:

"However, I'm still very concerned about what Dr. Fika did to cause you, Your Majesty, to become like this. Can you tell me?"

"Tch! What's it to you!"

Seeing that Soreva was trying to ask about something that was almost a sore spot for him, the throne immediately showed displeasure and forcefully threw Soreva away from his grasp.

"V. Take this annoying guy away! Next, I'm going to investigate the reasons for the ritual's failure."
