Speechless at Soreva's words, Druva couldn't think of anything to refute her for a moment. Besides, she herself wanted to rescue Kaito, so she could only sigh.

"I'm truly defeated by you. Well then, let's set off."

However, Drew heard Soreva say:

"No rush, there's still a small matter to take care of here."

With that, Soreva walked past Druva and stood before the only remaining staff member in the room. Just as the staff member thought he was about to be silenced, he suddenly saw Soreva raise his hand and pat him on the shoulder:

"Hey bro, go use the restroom, it'll do you good."

?

At that moment, the staff member, who had neither the urge to urinate nor defecate, didn't understand why Soreva had said that. However, he didn't need to understand; the next second, a strong urge to defecate surged from his abdomen.

"I...I need to use the restroom!"

After saying this, the staff member clutched his stomach and rushed out the door, leaving Druid stunned. He looked at Soreva in disbelief and asked:

"Did you...do something to him?"

"Don't worry, it's nothing serious. It's just that they have to stay in the toilet for a little while so they don't have time to notify Mr. Xinyuan."

As he spoke, Soreva showed Drew a card he had been holding between his fingers, a card that read "[No. 7 Lucky Striped Man]".

"Just a little trick about using [No.] cards."

"You guy..."

Although Drew wanted to complain about Soreva's actions in targeting his former colleagues, he refrained from doing so, considering the urgency of the situation.

"Alright, let's go."

"it is good!"

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

This time, with Druva's help, Soreva opened the door to the Heart Tower without any trouble and entered the tower.

As for Mr. Xinyuan's office, the two found it easily, opened the door, and went inside. However, what they didn't notice was that just as they opened the door, a small mechanism had already emitted a bolt of electricity.

At that moment, Mr. Xinyuan, who was hosting the WDC competition with his giant image, immediately raised an eyebrow after receiving the signal from his office:

"Oh? Someone broke into my room? It's probably you, right? Sorewa, it really was you who came to rescue Kaito? In that case, I'll play with you for a bit!"

After saying this, Mr. Xinyuan handed over the huge image used for hosting to someone else, while he himself hurried to his office.

"A secret room, a secret room... Damn it, where could it be?"

In an attempt to find the secret room in Mr. Heart Garden's office, Drew had already circled the office, occasionally tapping on the walls in an attempt to locate it.

Just as she was searching so diligently, she heard a sudden "crash" from Soreva's direction. Annoyed, she turned around, her face darkening, and saw Soreva looking regretfully at the documents scattered on the floor.

"This isn't it either..."

"Hey! What are you doing? Making such a mess, aren't you afraid that Mr. Xinyuan won't find out that someone has been here?"

Even though Drova complained like this, in her opinion, Soreva still didn't take it seriously at all:

“Drova, you don’t understand, do you? In the novels from my hometown, there’s always a secret switch in the room for a secret room that can’t be found. Once you turn it, the secret room will appear.”

"I'm just looking for this secret switch. Besides, even if we mess up the files and let Mr. Kokoro know someone's been here, so what? Our goal is just to rescue Kaito. Let Mr. Kokoro handle the cleaning himself."

"Finding a so-called secret switch to find the secret room? What kind of cliché plot is that!"

Soreva's words caused Drova, who was anxious to rescue Kaito, to slap a potted plant on the table next to him.

However, what made Druwa realize that something was wrong was the recoil coming from the motionless potted plant, as if the plant was completely stuck to the table.

"Could it be that……"

With a mix of sudden realization and lingering doubt, Drew, half-believing and half-doubting, began to try rotating the strange bonsai as Soreva had instructed.

As the potted plant turned slightly, a small door behind Mr. Xinyuan's desk slowly opened.

"I was wrong, it really is a cliché plot!"

Chapter 431 The duel with Heart Garden begins!

Stepping through the slowly opening door, Soleva and Druva discovered Kaito, who had been imprisoned in the secret room, along with Orbita Seven, who had always stayed by Kaito's side.

However, Soleva and his companion are now separated from Kaito and his companion by an iron fence, so that both sides can see each other, but Soleva is unable to rescue Kaito.

"Soreva? What are you doing here?"

A hint of joy flashed across Kaito's face upon seeing Soleva's arrival, but it was quickly replaced by worry.

"Soreva, it's no use. Without Mr. Heart Garden's key, you can't open this door. Now, please stay by Yang Dou's side, otherwise, he might be in danger!"

"Yoto is in danger? Kaito, do you know something?"

Upon hearing Kaito's reminder, Soleva immediately rushed forward, bracing his hands on the iron railing separating the two, and asked Kaito.

Kaito nodded and then said to Soreva:

“That’s right, Soreva. When I returned to the Heart Tower yesterday, I happened to witness Mr. Heart Garden’s conversation with my father.”

And I, through eavesdropping, learned that they collected the [No.] cards not to cure Yang Dou's illness, but to use Yang Dou's power to guide the power within those [No.] cards, thereby destroying an alternate world called the Astral Realm.

"What!?"

Upon hearing what Kaito said, Soleva, though unaware of what the place called the Astral Realm was, figured it must be closely related to the Astral Body!

At that moment, Kaito solemnly bowed his head to Soreva and said:

"Soreva, my father said that the other world called the Astral Realm is very likely to collide with our world and destroy it, so he has to use Yang Dou's power to destroy the Astral Realm."

I know that my next request may put our world in danger, but I still hope to ask you, Soreva, please protect Yangdou!

No, don't let him, who has already recovered and can finally enjoy the happiness of a normal person, suffer such pain again!

Seeing Kaito's desperate plea, Soleva immediately nodded:

"I understand, don't worry, Kaito, I will definitely protect Yuto. But, Kaito, what about you? What will you do?"

Upon hearing Soleva mention him, Kaito smiled as if to comfort him.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. After all, I'm not their target, so even if they capture me, they won't do anything. Soreva, hurry back and protect Yangdou, if you don't hurry..."

As if in response to Kaito's voice, a sound like a door opening suddenly came from Mr. Kokoro's office outside the secret room.

Soreva could only manage a wry smile at Kaito.

"This looks bad, Kaito. It seems Mr. Kokoro is back. In that case, I'm afraid I won't be able to get back anytime soon..."

As he spoke, Soreva noticed Druva, who had entered the secret chamber with him, and immediately said to Druva...

“Drova, you stay in this secret room for now. I’ll deal with what’s going on outside. You… try to find a chance to escape and go find a contestant named Tsukumo Yuma who participated in the elimination rounds today, and tell him about protecting Haruto.”

"Wait, why am I the one who has to go and notify them?"

Faced with Soreva's request, Drouet frowned in displeasure.

"You could have let me stay and hold off the people outside, while you go back and protect Yang Dou, right?"

"But the question is, what value do you have to hold them back?"

With a shrug, Soreva bluntly told Druva a cruel truth.

"I'm confident I can hold them off because I'm the only one who knows Yang Dou's whereabouts. But what about you? What will you do if everyone ignores you and only chases after me?"

"This……"

Seeing that Druid was speechless after being choked by his own words, Soreva then walked out of the secret chamber.

"So, let's do as I say."

Outside the secret room, Mr. Xinyuan, who had rushed back to his office after receiving the news, was filled with a sense of joy, thinking, "I've finally caught you. This time, you won't escape my grasp."

However, the moment he stepped into the office, the chaotic scene left Mr. Xinyuan speechless.

After a long while, Mr. Xinyuan finally came to his senses and roared:

"Who did this?!"

"Of course I did it, Mr. Xinyuan."

Hearing the sound coming from the door of the secret room, Mr. Xinyuan immediately glared over and saw that Soreva was already standing at the door of the secret room, looking at him with a smug smile.

Facing Soleva, Mr. Heart Garden suppressed his anger and sneered at him:

"Sorewa, I didn't expect you to actually have the guts to come back here. Aren't you afraid we'll kidnap Yangdou while you're away?"

"If you can do that, tell me where Yang Dou is right now?"

Faced with Soreva's question, Mr. Xinyuan's breath hitched. If he had known, he would have already led people to capture Yang Dou. How could he have allowed Soreva to mock him like that?

Soreva, naturally noticing Mr. Xinyuan's embarrassment, immediately coaxed him in a cheeky manner:

"So you don't know? But that makes sense, if you did, someone should have come to arrest Yang Dou last night. How about it, do you want to find out Yang Dou's whereabouts from me?"

"you?"

Mr. Heart Garden glanced at Soreva with suspicion, his face filled with deep distrust.

"You can still be so kind? Tell me, what exactly are you plotting?"

Faced with Mr. Xinyuan's distrust, Soreva also frankly stated:

"Of course, this isn't without conditions. Mr. Xinyuan, as you know, I am a duelist. If you want to know Yang Dou's whereabouts, you only have one choice!"

Revealing his duel disk, Soreva said without any hesitation,

"Defeat me in a duel, and I'll tell you where Yang Dou is! But if you lose, shouldn't you hand over some of the stakes?"

With a dangerous glint in his eyes at Mr. Heart Garden, Soreva slowly said:

"For example, the key to unlock Kaito?"

"Hahaha, I see!"

Upon hearing the wager proposed by Soleva, Mr. Heart Garden, assuming he understood Soleva's intentions, immediately burst into laughter.

"You think you can take me on just because you're a powerful duelist, and you want to force me to let Kaito go? Hahaha! Very well, since you have such confidence, then I'll accept your duel!"
