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

On a battle game platform that utilizes 3D imaging technology, the word "KO" appears in large letters directly above the ring.

The beautiful young boxer, having defeated her enemy, raises her hands high in a classic pose, basking in the cheers and applause of the crowd.

Her controller was also in the audience, sharing in this glory.

Riku and Lake, Satomi Sho's two inseparable henchmen, surrounded him and showered him with compliments without restraint, making Satomi Sho extremely comfortable.

"Hahaha, that's right! If I say I'm second, no one dares to say they're first!"

Having somehow restored his face to its original state, Satomi Sho released his hands from the control panel, put one arm around the bunny girl cosplayer beside him, and proudly emphasized, "In that battle just now, don't be fooled by how strong the opponent seemed. I wasn't even serious yet. I was just playing around with that guy, letting him think he had a chance to win, and then suddenly turning the tables. He's definitely dumbfounded now."

"Amazing! Amazing! You truly live up to your title as the eldest brother; you completely outmaneuvered your opponent!"

"One more, one more! Someone else is coming. Let's show everyone your true skills again."

"Sigh... I really can't do anything with you guys. Fine, then I'll show you another trick."

The name of the next opponent appeared on the battle platform. Bathed in the adoring gazes of his underlings and the bunny girl, Satomi Sho feigned helplessness and prepared to start the next game.

at this time……

"Sho Satomi, what are you doing here?"

A solemn voice suddenly came, like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.

"Varied--"

Sho was very familiar with that voice; as soon as he heard it, he thought of someone.

But how could this be? That guy shouldn't be here.

Instinctively turning around, Satomi Sho's pupils contracted sharply as he saw the person he absolutely did not want to see.

Akabane Ryo was frowning slightly, looking at them with displeasure.

And it wasn't just Akabane Ryo who was annoying; Touma, Kido Harutora... several regulars from Morning Light Duel Academy were there too, and Hoshino Mai and that most annoying Izumi Yuuki were even there.

"Akaba Ryo, what are you doing here!?"

"I should be the one asking you this."

Akabane Ryo glanced up and down at Satomi Sho's sleazy attire, the two delinquent henchmen around him, and the bunny girl cosplayer in his arms whose fair skin was exposed, and his brows furrowed even more.

"I heard you haven't been going to school these days. So you've been hanging out here all day?"

"None of your business! I can do whatever I want, it's none of your business! You say I'm fooling around here, then what are you doing here! And what's the deal with those two people?"

Satomi Sho cursed impatiently, turning his anger towards Yuki and his group.

He just couldn't understand it no matter how hard he thought about it.

It's one thing for Akabane Ryo to come to a place like this, but how did he end up getting mixed up with Kiyosumi's dueling club?

"You're the enemies, aren't you? Shouldn't you be teaching these guys a lesson in the match?!"

I am the son of the chairman of the Duel Academy. Shouldn't they be on my side?

"Because the match is already over."

The one who answered Sho's question was Kiyosumi, a boy.

Yu Xi said, "There's nothing strange about this, Satomi Sho. Just because someone fights to the death on stage doesn't mean they have to do it offstage. We don't have any grudges against Captain Akabane and the others, so it's normal for us to hang out together."

"Haha, You Xi is right!"

Chunhu couldn't agree more with Kan Youxi's words. And he also gave his full support to his trusted friend.

"Duel is one thing, making friends is another. What's more important is having similar interests; what's the big deal about differences in schools?"

At this point, Chunhu excitedly suggested, "So why don't you become friends with Yu Xi too? Lijian, I guarantee Yu Xi is definitely a friend worth getting to know better! I heard that something bad happened between you two, why not take this opportunity to put an end to it?"

"Who wants to be friends with him!"

Satomi Sho refused without even thinking.

The sight of You Xi would remind him of all the humiliations he had suffered recently. You Xi wanted him to be friends? What a joke!

"This guy isn't even fit to be my dog! Mind your own business!"

"Whoa!"

Pushing the bunny girl cosplayer away from his arms, Satomi Sho swept past Akabane Ryo and the others. Riku and his companion, who had been too frightened to utter a sound by the scene, quickly followed.

"Big brother, are you leaving?"

"This is boring! I'll head back now."

Satomi Sho strode towards the outside... but he couldn't make it.

"Hey, I can't pretend I didn't hear what you just said."

Feiyu grabbed Satomi Sho's shoulder from behind, her eyes dangerous as she said, "What do you mean you're not even worthy to be your dog? Are you saying that those of us who hang out with Yuki are only worthy to be your dogs?"

"Ouch, that hurts!"

With a slight tightening of his knuckles, Hibari gripped Satomi Sho so tightly that he let out a painful scream.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

"Let go of my brother right now!"

His two henchmen, to be fair, were quite loyal and rushed over immediately upon seeing the situation.

However, without any major moves, Fei Yu maintained control over Satomi Sho while easily knocking Riku and Lake to the ground with two quick thuds. The efficiency of his movements impressed Yuki.

"Senior Feiyu is very skilled."

"I was a delinquent for a while, so fighting isn't a problem for me. Besides, I have a feel for it," Fei Yu replied casually, then looked at Satomi Sho, whom he had easily subdued. "Alright, shouldn't you apologize to us now?"

"Apologize my ass! I'm not apologizing!"

Sho Satomi's face was covered in cold sweat, but his mouth remained stubborn: "Think carefully, I'm the chairman's son! What you're doing to me now won't be forgotten later!"

"Oh, really?" Fei Yu smiled brightly. "Then it seems I'll have to collect more interest now."

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"enough."

Hiyu pressed down harder, causing Satomi Sho to let out an even louder scream.

But before he could take any further action, Fei Yu was stopped by the voice of his own captain.

"team leader?"

"Look around, stop fooling around."

Akabane Ryo gestured for everyone to look around. While they were arguing with Satomi Sho, many people were watching them, and security guards were walking over.

"Let's leave it at that for today. Let him go, Feiyu."

"Hmph, you really are lucky."

Feiyu pursed her lips and did as she was told.

"Sho Satomi".

Akabane Ryo solemnly warned Satomi Sho, who had regained his freedom: "Now that you know you are the chairman's son, don't do anything that will embarrass him. I won't tell the chairman what happened these past few days, but I hope you can take this opportunity to stop. And don't cause any more trouble for Yuki and Izayoi."

"Tch! Why are you so nosy!"

Satomi Sho glared fiercely at Akabane Ryo and Yuki and the others, then dared not say another word and fled in panic with his underlings who had just been beaten up again.

Seeing that there was nothing interesting to watch, the crowd that had gathered dispersed.

Akabane Ryo said to Yuki and the other person, "I'm sorry, you must have found this amusing."

"Oh, it's nothing, we didn't suffer any losses."

Hoshino Mai, who had the closest chance to get the biggest scoop of gossip, waved her hand lightly, indicating that she didn't mind at all. Yu Xi then asked, "It seems that Akabane-senpai and Satomi Sho are quite familiar with each other."

"The chairman has taken great care of me, and I have an obligation and responsibility to repay this kindness. Unfortunately, Satomi Sho seems to be quite hostile towards me, and our relationship has never been good."

I think your relationship is bound to end badly.

As an observer, Youxi had probably guessed most of the details of the matter. It was nothing more than the same old story, one that had been depicted dozens of times in anime and novels.

However, he doesn't intend to interfere in other people's affairs.

Satomi Sho's personality and actions deserve this treatment.

"Well, there were some hiccups along the way, but they're over now."

Of the group, Kido Harutora was probably the only one who felt sorry for Satomi Sho's departure.

But he also understood that Satomi Sho was indeed not very likable, so he didn't say anything.

Chunhu then burst into laughter: "Hahaha! Alright, everyone! Don't forget why we came here, and don't let this affect your mood! Let's have some fun! Let's drink until we drop!"

"Idiot, the phrase 'no drinking, no going' isn't used here."

Following Chunhu's words, Feiyu's rant successfully diverted everyone's attention, drawing them fully into the various games and entertainment facilities.

No one cared about Satomi Sho anymore.

Chapter 72 The Moment of Stepping into the Abyss

"Damn it! Damn it, damn it, damn it!"

Sho Satomi kicked away the trash cans on the ground with force, his face ashen as he walked down the main road. The two thugs following behind him and their furious expressions made the passersby keep their distance.

They were afraid that if they made a mistake, they would be caught and used as a target to vent their anger.

As he walked, Satomi Sho continued to curse under his breath.

"So what if you're a little stronger? What's there to be so proud of? How dare you all look down on me?! What's wrong with calling you dogs? You're just thugs paid by the academy! What's the difference between you and dogs?!"

The more he recalled it, the more ashamed and angry he felt.

This time, it wasn't him causing trouble.

We were having a great time when suddenly a bunch of people showed up and ruined our fun, making all sorts of comments about our affairs... Who do they think they are!

And that Izumi Yuuki!
