Yu-Gi-Oh!: Holding Ruri Kurosaki, I'm invincible!

Suzuki Azusa's cheeks flushed instantly, and she glanced nervously at the drunken Uncle Ze Cheng beside her before quickly changing the subject:

"No...don't talk about this! Uncle Zecheng has had too much to drink. Let me take you home. I know where you live."

Seeing her helpless expression, You Ming's eyes lit up with a smile.

She stopped teasing him and nodded, "Okay, then I'll trouble you, Senior Suzuki."

He helped the unsteady Uncle Zecheng, opened the back door of the car, carefully settled him in, and then got in himself.

Back at his lodgings, You Ming had just opened the door when he noticed a crack in the windowsill.

A black combination lock box sat there quietly, its metal casing gleaming coldly under the light.

He was puzzled, so he casually carried the box into the room and looked it over.

The box had no markings or password hints.

He took out his phone, and the screen lit up just then; it was a text message from Elder Jin Sen:

"Password 9527. Your new NO card has been specially approved."

Come to the Xinyuan Center tomorrow morning to collect your award. There will be reporters, so dress smartly.

"That's straightforward, just what I wanted."

You Ming chuckled softly, first helping Uncle Zecheng into the second bedroom and settling him in, then covering him with a blanket.

He couldn't wait to get back to his room and put his finger on the keypad to enter 9527.

With a "click," the box popped open.

【NO95·Galaxy Eye Dark Matter Dragon】

"What the heck, trying to persuade the dragon to surrender?"

You Ming ran his fingertips over the cards, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and immediately took out his deck to rearrange it.

He had mentioned this card many times before, but unfortunately, he didn't have the necessary permissions.

Now, perhaps because it has become the number one in Xinyuan, those old misers have actually lowered their standards.

The combination of the Dragon card and this card instantly came to mind.

But he suddenly stopped halfway through the line, his brows furrowing slightly.

"No, I don't have any Galaxy Eyes original cards at all. This Rank 9 NO card needs to be Xyz Summoned with three Rank 9 monsters."

Either you have to stack it on top of "Galaxy-Eyes" Xyz Monster; without its own cards, it simply can't unleash its true power.

He leaned back in his chair, his fingertips tapping on the table, the information he had found flashing through his mind:

These rare NO cards are obtained by powerful beings from the Super Dimension who venture into dangerous ruins and defeat card spirits.

The danger is comparable to a nine-out-of-ten chance of death; the slightest carelessness could lead to one's demise.

The safest way to obtain them at present is to join the major professional dueling leagues.

The alliance's courses are all designed to prepare students for these kinds of practical site assessments, and each semester it organizes students to go to sites for training.

"It seems the road to deck building is still a long one."

You Ming sighed softly and put the deck away.

Just as I was about to go to bed, my phone rang again. It was a message from Ruri Kurosaki.

It was just one sentence: "My dad would like to invite you to his home tomorrow night."

You Ming's fingertip paused on the screen, his eyes darkening.

Ruri Kurosaki's father, Kurosaki Yama, is the head of the Kurosaki family who has ruled for nearly a hundred years.

You Ming initially wanted to decline, but then he thought about Liuli's situation in the Kurosaki family.

As the daughter of a collateral branch, she was already ostracized. If she refused, Kurosaki would likely take his anger out on her.

As an outsider, he shouldn't have interfered in the Kurosaki family's affairs, but as Ruri's friend, how could he just stand by and watch her suffer?

After a moment's thought, You Ming replied with only one word: "Okay."

He put down his phone and went to bed to sleep.

Meanwhile, the Kurosaki family villa was brightly lit, and the living room was full of people.

From the elderly with white hair to the younger generation.

All eyes turned to Ruri Kurosaki, who stood in the center, each with a different expression.

There was indifference, dissatisfaction, and even more undisguised calculation.

Liuli lowered her eyes, her fingertips gripping the hem of her clothes, her back ramrod straight.

Yet, the aloofness around him couldn't hide the slight discomfort in his eyes.

Seated in the main seat, Kurosaki sat calmly, his eyes unfathomable, a typical demeanor of someone in a superior position.

"What did he say?" Kurosaki asked, his voice low but carrying an undeniable authority.

Liuli replied softly, "He agreed."

"That's good."

A smile finally appeared on Kurosaki's face, and his tone softened a bit, "You should go back and rest first."

Liuli nodded slightly, said "Good night," and then turned and quickly went upstairs.

"Although You Ming failed to win the real Heart Garden first place, it is already rare for him to have such strength."

"If we can bring him into our Kurosaki family's camp, it will solve our immediate problem." An elder stroked his beard and spoke slowly.

"Hmph, I told you long ago we shouldn't have cooperated with those who merged dimensions! If it weren't for that, our Kurosaki family wouldn't have been controlled by them and ended up in this dilemma." Another elder said in a deep voice, his tone full of regret.

Kurosaki glanced at him indifferently: "Second Uncle, is there any point in saying this now? We've already been targeted by the people from the merged dimensions."

They have leverage over us, and if we can't come up with a countermeasure, we'll continue to be controlled by them in the future.

The entire senior management of Xinyuan knew about this, but because they lacked concrete evidence, they adopted a slow and gradual approach towards us.

Fusion Dimension wants to force us to completely submit, while the official Heart Garden wants to slowly wear us down; both sides are putting pressure on us.

If we want to survive, we must tie ourselves to a bargaining chip that neither side dares to easily move.

His gaze fell on the file folder on the table, which had only two words written on it: You Ming.

The remorseful elder asked in a hoarse voice, "How do you plan to tie him up? This kid comes from humble beginnings, but he's very proud and might not be willing to be manipulated by us."

"He will become the son-in-law of the Kurosaki family."

Kurosaki tapped the table lightly with his fingertip, speaking each word with certainty, "Our Kurosaki family's nearly 10 billion in assets will all become his dowry."

A dueling prodigy from humble beginnings could never resist such temptation.

The young men in the living room looked displeased upon hearing this, but none of them dared to refute it.

They all knew that the Kurosaki family was now on the verge of collapse.

They either gradually decline under the suppression of the Heart Garden authorities, or they have to take their families to the Fusion Dimension, where they will live as dependents and never have the glory they have today.

In contrast, sacrificing a member of a collateral branch of the family to save the clan was, in their eyes, a matter of course.

Will Kexinyuan officially recognize this marriage? As for Fusion Dimension, they regard You Ming as a thorn in their side.

He can use the Ancient Gear deck with even more skill than Fusion Dimension, and has already made it into the top ten of their threat list. They will never let him live. " An elder said worriedly.

A ruthless glint flashed in Kurosaki's eyes, and his tone was icy: "If he can be of use to our Kurosaki family while he is alive, then keep him."

If he's useless, then his head will be our pledge of allegiance to the fused dimension.

Upon hearing this, everyone in the living room nodded in agreement, and no one raised any objections.

At the corner of the stairs, Ruri Kurosaki stood in the shadows, her eyes calm and undisturbed.
