Chapter 140

Kark: "..."

Mokuba: "..."

The cards were played, and neither the onlookers nor the one being beaten said a word for a while.

One was reflecting on what kind of card game he had just watched, and the other was thinking about what he had just played.

Ojama brothers belong to the trash cards that would be discarded into a dry well, a small-fry series that most duelists would subconsciously ignore.

However, it was precisely these small-fry that taught Kark, an expert-level professor, a lesson, showing him the dark side of dueling.

Whether it's Ojama Trio or the fused Ojama King, their own attack power is 0, and they only have a little combat power in specific situations that cooperate with the attack and defense swap effect.

However, it was precisely facing a deck where almost all sub-attack power is 0 that made him experience a deep sense of powerlessness he had never felt before.

He had never played such a suffocating game in his life.

Kark looked at You Xuan with a complex expression, and then looked at Mokuba beside him strangely.

He also looked at Mokuba strangely like this when the duel just started. It's just that his eyes were full of disgust at that time, revealing the meaning of "Is Kaiba Corporation looking down on me by sending such a small-fry?"

But after a game of cards, his eyes had changed from contempt to resentment, and the meaning had also changed to, "We have no enmity in the past, we are just playing a game, is it a bit too much for you to deploy such a card-addiction-level weapon..."

Mokuba was also a bit surprised by this. He coughed and said: "Well, anyway, you lost. According to the agreement, tell me. What kind of grudge do we have with Industrial Illusions? Why maliciously attack our server?"

Kark stood up, collected his mood, and started talking about business.

"Actually, it's a misunderstanding." He said.

"Oh?" Mokuba raised his eyebrows, "What misunderstanding?"

Kark shook his head.

"I'm just a pawn, and this is still a virtual image online, even if I say anything, I'm afraid it's hard for you to believe. So Lord Nightshroud actually ordered it long ago.

At seven o'clock tonight, he will wait for your arrival at the foundation headquarters. At that time, he will explain everything himself."

The foundation is a foundation related to Duel Monsters established by Nightshroud himself, independent of Industrial Illusions under his adoptive father Master Tianma.

"Nightshroud... is it?" Mokuba frowned slightly.

You Xuan probably understood what he was thinking.

Kaiba Corporation and that Nightshroud actually have a slight grudge.

You Xuan had learned about historical events through inquiries before; he was in a dimension that seemed to be a fusion of anime and manga worldviews. This world has many major events biased toward the anime worldview, but Nightshroud, although a character who appeared in the manga, also exists in this world.

In the manga original work, Nightshroud occupied the Kaiba Corporation headquarters as a stronghold while Kaiba was in the United States, hijacked the Kaiba Corporation's dueling server, and challenged Yugi.

During this period, Kaiba learned the news and rushed back from the United States, but was defeated by the Wicked Gods held by Nightshroud in the duel with Nightshroud.

But the motivation for him to do so in the manga original work was actually because his adoptive father Master Tianma died in Duelist Kingdom, and he wanted to take revenge on Yugi Muto. However, Master Tianma is still alive in the dimension You Xuan is in now, so history is slightly different.

However, despite this, in the dimension You Xuan is currently in, Nightshroud, who held the Three Wicked Gods back then, was still affected by the Wicked God cards, his mind was corroded, and under the manipulation of the Wicked Gods, he challenged Yugi, who held the Three Phantom Gods at the time.

During this period, he also faced President Kaiba, and the duel between the two was also the same as in the original work, won by Nightshroud, who had the blessing of the Wicked Gods. For President Kaiba, it should have been an unforgettable defeat.

But after that incident, Yugi came forward to break the power of the Wicked Gods and helped Nightshroud recover from the influence of the Wicked Gods.

After that turmoil many years ago, both Master Tianma and Nightshroud realized that the Three Wicked Gods were too powerful and too evil, and the risk of anyone controlling them was too great, so the Wicked God cards were said to have been destroyed after that.

That was many years ago.

It is conceivable that after such turmoil, Kaiba Seto and Nightshroud can be considered to have a grudge.

"Lord Nightshroud guarantees that the invasion of your company has nothing to do with us. In this hacker intrusion incident, Industrial Illusions is actually also a victim."

Kark said solemnly.

"Please be sure to come over and talk in person tonight."

"Alright, I see." Mokuba nodded, "I will also tell my brother."

"Thank you. Then I will take my leave for now... Oh, by the way, the 'Link System' is indeed a great invention. We will restore all the areas invaded in the 'Link System', and the data will be cleared."

"Good." Mokuba nodded.

So Kark Dickson, the Card Professor, greeted the two and logged out. But before leaving, he looked at You Xuan again.

He opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but his expression was a bit complex, and he held it for a long time before finally not speaking.

Finally, he shook his head, still said nothing, and his figure disappeared into thin air as a data stream.

In his state, he might have psychological shadows for a long time whenever he sees the Ojama brothers in the future.

You Xuan and Mokuba also logged out of the Link System.

After taking off the equipment, Mokuba asked him to wait for a moment, and then hurriedly made a phone call to President Kaiba to inform him of the situation that had just happened.

The president was on a business trip abroad at this time.

"Nightshroud... is it?"

Kaiba, who received the call, narrowed his eyes and hummed softly.

Obviously, like Mokuba, he remembered some unpleasant past events.

"What do you say, brother?"

"Hmph, interesting. Since the other party has invited us like this, there is naturally no reason not to go." Kaiba sneered.

"I see. Then I'll go see it tonight."

Mokuba thought for a while and smiled.

"By the way, brother, this is really a coincidence. Duel Academy first-year freshman, do you have any impression of Fujiki You Xuan?"

"I remember." Kaiba said lightly.

"I happened to be showing him the Link System when the incident happened, and this time it was thanks to him. He temporarily fought for our company and defeated the Card Professor under Nightshroud..."

"Hmm." Kaiba said, "Hmph, although the lackey under Nightshroud has a little ability, the upper limit is just like that.

If he couldn't even deal with such an opponent, then he wouldn't be worth paying attention to."

"Hmm." Mokuba said, "I thought so too, so I felt relieved to leave the duel to him. However..."

Mokuba paused, as if brewing his words.

"I watched his duel, how should I put it... I have a subtle feeling..."

"What? Do you think he's very powerful?"

Mokuba scratched his head.

"It's not a question of whether he's powerful or not, he's really that kind of very special..."

Mokuba found for a moment that he really couldn't describe that feeling verbally.

"... But I have a recording. If brother is interested, you can take a look, I think his duel is quite interesting."

As Mokuba spoke, he seemed to think of the expression of Kark Dickson who looked like he had eaten shit during the card game, and the more he thought about it, the more interesting he felt, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud again.

"Hmm, anyway, at least I feel quite happy..."

He didn't know if he was powerful, but as an onlooker, he found it quite enjoyable.

"Oh?"

Once it came to the card game, Kaiba naturally became interested.

"Fine, then send it to me to see."
