Traveling in reverse through the Yu-Gi-Oh! world with the MD system

"Okay, then I'll ask the first question."

Soreva had to admit that Mingri's disguise was really convenient; he even brought a voice recorder. He was truly a professional journalist. He immediately shoved the recorder in front of Ghosh and asked,

"Gosh, as a former WDC staff member, you must not have had much time to participate in the qualifiers to be able to participate in the knockout stage now, right? Did you encounter any difficulties in collecting Heart Fragments during the qualifiers?"

Upon hearing this question, Drouetton frowned, his displeasure clearly showing on his face.

After all, in her view, Soreva's question was practically a sarcastic inquiry into whether Ghosh had obtained his qualification for the knockout stage through connections with the WDC organizers.

Although Drew herself looked down on Ghosh, that idiot duelist, she also disapproved of such a question that seemed to insult Ghosh's passion for dueling.

However, Ghosh himself seemed not to have caught the question, and while stroking his chin, he answered casually:

"No, I don't think so. After all, the opponents I've faced seem rather weak, not even enough to excite me. I hope that in the knockout stage, there will be opponents that interest me."

"Oh? It seems that Ghosh is really looking forward to the upcoming knockout stage. Let's look forward to seeing Ghosh's heroic performance in the match."

Fortunately, Ghosh got through the problem without serious consequences, which made Druwa breathe a sigh of relief.

Although many players will probably criticize the operations committee after Ghosh's answer spreads, Drewa won't be afraid.

Chapter 429 Multiple Investigative Methods

After a few casual remarks about Ghosh's participation, Soreva finally began to subtly probe the main point:

"So, the next question is about the riot at Heart Garden last night. To be honest, I find it very strange that almost all the news about the riot last night didn't mention the culprit who caused it."

"As WDC officials, do you two know anything inside information?"

"The riots last night? I've heard about them, but I wasn't there at the time, and dealing with riots isn't part of our operations committee's job, so I don't know anything about it."

Upon hearing Sudo Yukihide, played by Soreva, mention the riots of the previous night, Drouet gave his cautious reply.

Beside her, Ghosh, who knew the whole story, cursed inwardly:

"Damn it, how did we get onto this topic? Do reporters these days still like to ask these kinds of questions? Or... is this guy really Soreva in disguise?"

However, when Soreva's gaze drifted over, Ghosh still pretended to know nothing and said:

"Me too, I don't know what happened back then either."

"Oh, okay, I understand."

Seeing Ghosh's sweaty appearance, Soreva knew that Ghosh must know something, and that saying he didn't know would just be a lie.

As for Drouet, it seems he really doesn't know anything.

Now, Soleva knew who he needed to find if he wanted to get to Kaito. A slight smile appeared on his face, and then Soleva put away the recorder.

"That concludes the interview. Thank you both for your cooperation."

Having said that, Soreva feigned a bow, and his figure disappeared into the crowd. This made Ghosh breathe a sigh of relief.

"Huh, finally leaving."

Ghosh's relieved expression prompted Druwa to tease him:

"What, are you really that bad at dealing with reporters? Well, you'd better prepare yourself properly. After all, with your skills, you should be able to get a pretty good result at this year's WDC, right?"

"At that time, you might be bombarded with reporters."

"Don't scare me."

Faced with Drew's teasing, Ghosh couldn't help but smile wryly. What he was afraid of wasn't the reporter, but the possibility that he might let slip that Kaito had been imprisoned by Dr. Fica and Mr. Kokoro. That would be the real problem.

Therefore, it's best to separate from Drew as soon as possible to avoid actually revealing Kaito's situation to Drew.

Having made this decision, Ghosh immediately said to Druva:

"You've got more work now, haven't you? Just go about your business. I know the way. Goodbye!"

"Hey you!"

However, Druid still couldn't stop Ghosh; in the blink of an eye, Ghosh had vanished without a trace, making Druid stomp his foot in frustration.

"That bastard! Does he really think I care about him?! If I didn't want to see if Lord Kaito was back, I wouldn't want to follow this dueling idiot!"

After saying that, Drouet turned and left, after all, as Ghosh said, she would have a lot to do today!

As for Ghosh, for some reason, after leaving Druwa, he had the illusion that someone was following him, but when he looked back several times, he did not find anything unusual.

This led him to believe that it was just his imagination, after all, many things had happened in the past two days that could have stirred his nerves.

However, when he finally arrived at a small alley outside the next elimination round venue, a hand suddenly reached out from the alley, pulled him in, and slammed him against the wall.

"Don't move, Ghosh, I don't think it will do you any good."

And that familiar voice made Ghosh recognize its owner:

"Soreva, that reporter from earlier was indeed you in disguise! What exactly are you trying to do?"

"Don't worry, Ghosh, I won't do anything to you. Just tell me where Kaito was taken, and I'll let you go."

Upon hearing Kaito's name uttered by Soreva, Ghosh's heart skipped a beat. He feigned ignorance and said:

"What...what did you say? Kaito got arrested? I had no idea about that."

However, as Ghosh answered, he only felt the elbow pressing down on him from behind tighten, and Soreva's voice rang out again:

“Ghosh, hasn’t anyone told you that you’re not suited to lying? The way you were sweating profusely when I asked you about the riots just now already told me that you not only know, but you know a lot.”

But you seem afraid of something, which is why you don't dare to say it.

As he spoke, Ghosh suddenly felt a release behind him. He turned around and saw that Soreva had already removed Sudo Yukihide's disguise and was speaking to him casually.

"Now, it's just the two of us. Whatever you're afraid of, you can tell me without any worries."

"I……"

Seeing that Ghosh was still hesitating, Soreva immediately added fuel to the fire in Ghosh's heart:

"Aren't you going to tell me yet? The elimination rounds are about to begin. If you don't tell me soon, I won't let you participate in the competition."

With the match fast approaching, and considering that Soreva had indeed said there was no one else here besides the two of them, and that it probably wouldn't provoke Druva into doing anything foolish, Ghosh gritted his teeth and immediately spoke:

"Kaito is locked in a secret room in Mr. Kokoro's office. If you think you can save him, then go and give it a try!"

"Thanks, Ghosh."

Having received the answer from Ghosh, Soreva immediately stepped out of the alley and made way for Ghosh to reach the stadium.

Ghosh, without hesitation, rushed out of the alley and headed towards the stadium.

Soreva watched Ghosh's retreating figure and couldn't help but sigh.

“I’m sorry, Ghosh, I know you didn’t want to involve Drewa, but unfortunately, I still lack someone who can help me unlock the access gate.”

So, I'm sorry, I have to involve Drouet. And..."

Soreva took the still-operating voice recorder from his jacket pocket, stopped its recording function, and tossed it in his hand.

"You know perfectly well that Yukihide Sudo has a voice recorder with him, so why do you think that Soreva wouldn't know how to use one?"

After saying that, Soreva put the recording pen that contained Ghosh's important confession back into his pocket. After all, this was an important tool that determined whether he could persuade Druva to help him.

Then, Soreva turned and ran in the opposite direction from the arena, where, if he was right, Drewa should be now.

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

"Are you sure the complete list of participants is here?"

Looking at the list of participants for today's elimination rounds submitted by his subordinates, Drew frowned, because Kaito's name was not among the participants who had already registered.

"Lord Kaito, what on earth has happened...?"

Chapter 430: A Clichéd Plot

"So, you're looking for Kaito too, Drowa."

Hearing the sudden voice behind him, Drouet quickly turned around and immediately saw the so-called reporter he had met once before standing behind him:

"You...you're definitely not a simple reporter. Who exactly are you? Could it be that you're the one who implicated Lord Kaito!"

"Calm down, Drew, it's me."

Soreva ripped off his disguise, revealing his true face, and immediately raised his hands in surrender, which startled Druid.

"Soreva? But I remember you were missing, weren't you?"

"Well, that's all in the past. I think our common goal should be finding Kaito. As for where Kaito is now..."

Sorevadan took the voice recorder containing Ghosh's voice from his breast pocket and immediately pressed the play button.

"I've found a clue on my end."

Listening to the recording, Gosh's voice, guided by Soleva, finally revealed Kaito's location, and Drew's face instantly showed an angry expression:

"Damn it! That Ghosh! He knew perfectly well where Kaito-sama was, but he didn't tell me!"

"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, he's just an employee of Dr. Fica and Mr. Xinyuan."

Seeing that Soreva was actually defending Ghosh, Druva immediately rolled his eyes at him and complained with considerable displeasure:

"And what about you? You're supposed to be Kaito-sama's partner, right? Now that Kaito-sama is in trouble, and you've found a clue, why aren't you going to rescue him?"

"If I could, of course I'd like to, but..."

Faced with Drouet's complaints, Soreva immediately shrugged, somewhat helplessly defending himself,

"I've already tried going to the Heart Tower. It seems that because of Kaito, Dr. Fica and Mr. Heart Garden have probably decided that I've also betrayed them. It seems that they've deleted my information, so I can't open the Heart Tower's gate at all now."

so……"

"So, you're thinking of coming to me to help you unlock the Heart Tower and rescue Lord Kaito?"

Picking up where Soreva left off, Drouat suddenly moved closer to Soreva, narrowing his eyes to meet her gaze.

"But aren't you afraid? Maybe I'm on Dr. Fica's and Mr. Kokoro's side, and I won't help you save Lord Kaito."

However, Soreva still had a smiling face:

"But just because you still call him Lord Kaito, I believe you won't let Kaito fall into danger."

"you……"
