Chapter 33 "Good Brothers"

Somewhere in the city.

The end of the narrow and dark alley, although located in the city, seems isolated from the world.

This is an area that can only be entered by those who know the correct way.

a bar.

The soft lights cast mottled shadows all around, and the air was mixed with the smell of alcohol and tobacco, as well as something even more turbid and heavy. The old-fashioned phonograph played a strange melody, and each note seemed to blend into the ubiquitous shadows.

It was like an invisible darkness shrouded the entire space.

This is a gathering place for dark duelists.

Although Dark Duel is still a rumor to ordinary people today - just like the Judai classmate in the first season of GX anime once believed in science and refused to accept the fact that Dark Duel existed, in fact, so many years have passed since the DM era, and now an underground network of Dark Duel has been established all over the world.

The dark duelists, like shady killers, are scattered all over the place.

Many retail investors accept commissions through underground networks and take money to perform tasks. There are also some related organizations.

This situation is actually an inevitable trend of development. After all, dark duels are too convenient and versatile, leaving behind all kinds of traditional assassination and spy methods.

By playing cards, you can eliminate the target without firing a single shot and without leaving any trace. If necessary, you can add additional restrictions when starting the Dark Duel and also grind the bones and scatter the ashes at the same time. Literally, even the ashes will be broken into particles, leaving no trace at all.

And they can do more than just assassination. As long as they win the game of life against certain people in key positions or with great power, they can easily pry open anyone's mouth to obtain any confidential information, or directly brainwash the other party to obey them, thereby influencing some major events in the business and even political circles.

Of course, where there is a spear, there is a shield. The rise of this dark profession has naturally attracted the attention of the upper class to this threat. Therefore, important people these days either have excellent card skills or have dueling bodyguards around them.

This bar named "Blood Moon" is just such an organization where dark duelists gather.

The bartender is a woman with scarlet eyes and amazing curves that attract the most attention. She is generous and unsparing in showing off her talents to her colleagues.

That's why her colleagues' eyes were on her 90% of the time during meetings—even though she said almost nothing.

A man in a suit at the bar slowly drank a glass of wine, put down the glass, and said leisurely: "One of our colleagues has left us."

"Oh."

"Pity."

"pity."

Colleagues expressed their regrets, but their eyes never moved away. The beautiful bartender shook the wine glass in her hand, her movements were graceful and skillful. The wine swirled in the glass, and the movement of her arm caused the rest of her body to shake continuously, causing a burst of "oh" sounds from the audience.

The man in the suit was a little displeased: "We sacrificed a compatriot, can you at least pretend to care a little?"

Someone asked: "But weren't you looking over there while you were talking?"

The man in the suit hesitated for two seconds and said confidently, "I can't help it."

This immediately caused a burst of laughter, and the bar was filled with a happy atmosphere.

"But seriously, Onitsuka is my good brother." The man in the suit said solemnly, "We knew each other before joining the organization. I can't pretend nothing happened."

The man with the middle-parted hair beside him advised: "We are all gangsters, and we all know the rules. If you win, you live, and if you lose, you die. There have been so many duels, so many life and death.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you die, that's how it is. Onitsuka knew that a long time ago."

"Besides," said another person next to him, "do you know who did it? Who among us in the underworld doesn't have dozens of enemies?"

"Before Onitsuka left the headquarters, he was drinking with me the night before and said that he heard rumors that the legendary duelist Ryuzaki was about to make a comeback."

The man in the suit said in a deep voice.

"Onizuka is very interested in this. As a fellow dinosaur user, he often said that he wanted to go and meet Ryuzaki."

"My goodness, that's a legendary duelist." The middle-parted man said, "Are you sure you've made up your mind, Fujimoto? And Onizuka is not bad in duels, if he can't even beat him..." "Onizuka has never beaten me either."

The man in a suit called Fujimoto smiled slightly, put out his cigarette in the ashtray, and then looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle under the swirling smoke.

"There are always times when a man has to fight. Besides, if we duelists are always content with the status quo and dare not challenge the strong, how can we improve?"

The woman with middle-parted hair sized him up and said, "Since you are so ambitious, why don't you challenge Yugi Muto?"

Fujimoto, who was pretending to be cool, suddenly choked and held his breath for a few seconds before speaking in a dull voice.

".Yugi Muto is too strong."

After all, what he meant was to challenge the strong to reach the peak and make progress, not to commit suicide.

If you know that your chance of winning is 0 and you still go for it, then it's just a waste of time.
Fujimoto sighed quietly and began to reminisce about the past.

"Both Onitsuka and I were abandoned by the dueling world. We met through an underground duel. At the beginning, I made an agreement with him that if anything happened to him, I would take care of his wife and children.

But I never expected that he would leave in such a hurry, leaving no offspring behind, leaving only a gentle and beautiful girlfriend waiting for me to take care of."

In this case, doesn't it mean that I have to figure out a solution for my brother's children myself?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head and sighed that life was not easy.

A big guy beside him patted his shoulder and said, "Don't be sad, brother. If Brother Guizhong knew that he had a reliable brother like you, he would be relieved to go."

"That's what you said." Fujimoto patted his hands and nodded.

Then suddenly I felt a chill down my spine for no apparent reason.

"Hmm? Did you suddenly feel a gust of cold wind blowing just now?"

The big guy blinked blankly: "No."

"Strange. Could it be that Brother Onitsuka is urging me to avenge him?"

Fujimoto looked up to the sky and said seriously.

"Brother Onitsuka, don't worry. I will soon find that cub of Dinosaur Ryuuzaki and drag his soul into the darkness to avenge you!"

elsewhere.

After the disastrous defeat in the Moonlight Cup, Dinosaur Ryuzaki failed to make a comeback, so he went back to seclusion and once again began to seriously study the deck.

I was confident that I would make a big comeback, but I never expected that I would end up with a big one. The king failed to return successfully and instead gave a head to a rookie.

Especially since that rookie had a blank resume before this competition, so it is conceivable that whenever that guy shows up in the future, other people’s first reaction will definitely be: Damn, isn’t that the guy who beat Ryuqi?
In other words, the further the newcomer goes and the more he appears, the more he will be whipped.
It’s bad enough that he failed to take off after being in seclusion for so many years, but he even became a background figure after the failure. Who can tolerate this?
"Fujiki Yugen. Very good. I will remember you."

Ryuzaki muttered grimly.

He had no choice but to find an opportunity for a rematch.

As long as he doesn't find that guy and win it back, he will have to continue to carry this stain until this joke spreads more and more.

Just as he was thinking about this, his nose suddenly felt itchy for no reason and he sneezed.

"Strange, why do I suddenly feel a little cold on my back?"

Ryuzaki wiped his nose in confusion.

Why do I feel like someone is targeting me?
