Want to play cards? I'll use my King's Deck!

Recalling his conversation with the Seahorse Man a few years ago, Sigurd narrowed his Rune Eyes slightly: "Who knows what kind of bad intentions this capitalist might have? You'd better not trust him too much."

“Mr. Sigurd said the exact same thing as Uncle Logan.”

You Xi was helpless.

He recalled what Logan had said to him when he visited him in Starsword City, while Logan was lying in bed.

Logan and his group were ambushed because of a spy from "Doomsday Bell" infiltrated into the Kaiba Corporation. Kaiba Soujin claims to know nothing about it, completely denying any involvement.

But Logan and his crew, who deal with criminals all the time, have the keenest sense of smell, and they wouldn't be so easily dismissed.

Unfortunately, as the honorary chairman of the D Alliance and the president of Kaiba Corporation, Kaiba Aoi was not someone who could be easily dealt with. In addition, perhaps due to some contract, Logan and the others, who were surrounded at the time, were unable to extract any information from the "Doomsday Bell".

This makes it difficult for the Public Security Bureau to push forward the investigation into Kaiba Sojin.

After all, even among the high-ranking members of the Public Security Bureau, many are from the Kaiba Corporation—and very few would want to antagonize the Kaiba Corporation.

Unless, the Seahorse Man himself commits an unforgivable mistake.

Yuki doesn't know if that day will ever come, but even for the sake of Kaiba Mashiro, he doesn't want that to actually happen.

"Anyway, thank you for reminding me, Mr. Sigurd. I will keep that in mind."

"You know it in your heart, anyway, other people have told you this before," Sigurd waved his hand.

At this moment, the door to the ward was finally opened.

After a duel and some casual conversation, Izayoi Rosa finally ended her "absence makes the heart grow fonder" with her husband and walked out with a satisfied expression.

"It seems you two are having a good chat."

Seeing Siegfried sitting with several boys and girls, with two girls to Yuki's left and Siegfried to Yuki's right, and with Izayoi Yuki right next to Yuki, Izayoi Rose narrowed her eyes.

"That's great, of course. Don't you know who I am?"

Sigurd laughed loudly at his agent.

"Sister Rose, now that you and your husband have finished arguing, can you take me to the hotel to check in? I've come all this way to the Eastern Conference Finals, I'm not planning to go back now."

"Your assistant has already taken care of the hotel arrangements. Just contact her and have her take you there. I have a few things to take care of here."

"Anything else?"

"Well, I have something to say to that boy over there named You Xi."

Izayoi Rose looked at Yuki: "I've already heard about it from Yuki. Yuki, you're troubled by a lot of 'junk information,' right? I can help you deal with it. However, we still need to discuss the relevant information and precautions."

"Huh? Wait, do we really have to say all this now?"

"Some things are better dealt with sooner rather than later. This applies to both troubles and opportunities."

I don't know what it was like before, but now Izayoi Rose is obviously decisive and efficient.

Seeing this, everyone knew that it was impossible to stop her.

"Then I'll take my leave first. Youxi, I'll come back to visit you again later. If you need anything, I can teach you some more knowledge that every man should learn."

Sigurd gave Yu Xi a look that clearly didn't understand, and then disappeared from everyone's sight.

Two girls followed closely behind.

"Hmm, although we'd love to join in, this kind of topic seems like it'll take a long time to discuss. So we won't bother Auntie and Xiaoxi any longer."

After Xingyewu finished speaking, she leaned close to Youxi's ear and said, "Also, Xiaoxi, you don't need to go to that frivolous guy to learn this kind of thing. If you want to learn, I can teach you anytime, anywhere."

No, no, no, what are you talking about? How can you just utter such vulgar and offensive language?

Under the sharp gaze of Izayoi and her mother, Yuki almost lost her composure.

Fortunately, seeing that the teasing... no, the pranks had gone far enough, Xing Yewu stopped playing with fire, chuckled, and pulled her best friend away from the scene.

Then——

"Now that everyone else has left, let's have a proper talk."

Izayoi Rose spoke to Yuuki, who was left alone and unconsciously swallowed.

Chapter 285 I Was Clearly First

"Then, according to the terms of this contract, I will act as your temporary agent and be responsible for handling these matters for you. Is that alright?"

A few hours later, on the second floor of a coffee shop outside the hospital.

Izayoi Rose looked at the boy across from her who was carefully browsing through a pile of documents, took a sip of coffee, and asked him this question.

"Yeah, no problem."

After reading the contents of the treaty, You Xi raised his head and nodded.

He didn't see any loopholes or major pitfalls in the contract.

Although I don't know much about the entertainment industry, this contract seems very lenient to me.

Not only do they have plenty of free time, but they also decide for themselves whether or not to accept commercial performances or similar activities.

The only thing to be careful about, besides maintaining a good public image, is that Izayoi Rose must be paid her full salary every month.

Now that Izayoi Rose has become Sigurd's professional agent, her annual salary is naturally not a small amount. However, Yuki, who just became the Star Cup champion, also received a large bonus, so there is no need to worry about this issue for the next few months.

From this perspective, it's more accurate to say they hired a housekeeper than an agent.

"Thank you so much, Aunt Rose."

Yu Xi sincerely thanked Izayoi Rose, who gently shook her head.

"Compared to what you've done for our family, this is nothing. Since you think there's no problem, just give me your phone. You should have already transferred all your private things, right?"

"Yes."

Long before Izayoi Rose and Sigurd arrived, Yuki had already changed her phone number, and the part containing her personal secrets was transferred along with it.

However, there's nothing of that kind that's "unspeakable" in here.

To be honest, with that mischievous sprite around, Yu Xi was still hesitant to collect those little notebooks that boys liked.

In a sense, he was also deprived of a kind of happiness.

With these useless thoughts swirling in his mind, Yu Xi shook his head, shaking them out of his head, and handed his old phone to Izayoi Qiangwei.

Izayoi Rosé answered the phone and turned it on. As expected, there was a large number of missed calls and unread emails.

Even accounts on chat software have dozens or hundreds of friend requests.

This especially demonstrates how popular You Xi has become these days.

If there were only one Star Cup champion, it would be understandable, since it happens every two years. But with the addition of a hero who turns the tide and defeats the evil god, it's not hard to understand why these people are so fanatical.

Perhaps in a few months they'll find that Youxi is unmoved by their enthusiasm, but clearly, Youxi won't wait that long. Even if she does find out, these people won't stop harassing her.

However, unlike the easy-to-deal-with rookies, they will now face an equally formidable opponent.

After quickly scanning the information above, Izayoi Rose sorted out some of the useful and important information, and then exchanged new contact information with Yuki.

"Now it's my turn to do my job. Remember what I just said, Youxi. Never turn off your phone. I'll contact you immediately if I need anything."

"Ok."

"That's all for now, I have something else to take care of. I'll come back to you later."

Izayoi Rose glanced at her watch, put away Yuki's old phone, got up, picked up her bag, and walked towards the counter to pay.

This caught You Xi off guard as she watched him leave.

"Huh? They left so soon?"

He thought that after finishing the important business, they would continue talking about Izayoi Yuki.

"It seems you're not always likable."

Wang Yang's amused voice rang in You Xi's ears: "It's also possible that the timing of your appearance in front of her was not good."

"Timing... ah."

Yu Xi thought of how she had met Izayoi Rose before, and she couldn't really refute that.

"Well, it's not a big problem."

Wang Yang continued, "This lady named Izayoi Rose is clearly a reasonable person who knows what's important and what's urgent, and she's not incapable of distinguishing right from wrong. Since she hasn't said anything to you, it means she won't stop you from continuing your relationship with Izayoi Yuki. She probably intends to let things take their natural course."

"More importantly—Yuki, are you planning to participate in the Duel King Cup?"

The topic that had been abandoned due to a previous tangent was brought up again by Wang Yang.

"The Duel King Cup? That sounds interesting."

Yu Xi thought for a moment and replied, "Although I'm not very interested in the title of Duel King, it would be nice to participate if I could play cards with the best duelists in the world."

"But that's all for next year, it's too early to think about it now."

"It's not early at all. As the saying goes, 'If you're prepared, you'll succeed; if you're not prepared, you'll fail.' Setting a goal is the only way to work harder in that direction. With the current level of skill in this world, it won't be easy to become number one if you don't put in a lot of effort. It would be too embarrassing to be eliminated in just a few rounds."

"I know."

Without needing Wang Yang's reminder, You Xi knew perfectly well what she should do.

"Regardless of whether or not we participate in the Duel King Cup later, improving our strength is necessary. Only in this way can we have a better chance of facing and overcoming future dangers."

The "Doomsday Bell" incident had already served as a wake-up call for Yu Xi.

Although it is a modern society, this world is not as safe as the country he once lived in. No one knows when they will encounter another dark duelist or get involved in some event.

To prepare for that day, the stronger you are, the better, because that's what gives you a sense of security.

Unfortunately, he wasn't very good at drawing, and the card-making process in this world was also quite unique. Aside from the cards he printed himself using his golden finger, he couldn't print any other fake cards.

But that’s okay.

He was content with having companions like Mana around.

I already have many powerful cards.

"Besides, there's another opportunity to train at the Tower of Four Heavens soon. That will definitely raise my strength to another level—by the way, speaking of which, what I heard during my duel with Mr. Sigurd wasn't just my imagination, was it, Mr. Atum?"

"of course not."

Wang Yang responded with an affirmative voice.
