Yu-Gi-Oh!, the Roar of the Weak

Chapter 241 Darkness Descends

After some time, Youquan Pavilion

"Explain yourself, Di Xing."

Ai Xiao crossed her arms, looking down at Di Xing, who was kneeling on the ground, with a forced smile. "You went to collect this material and brought back three beautiful girls. How efficient!"

"No, to be precise, it should be one human, one Kaling, and one derivative." Hmm, and there's still Tianxuan we haven't brought back.

Dai Meng, Ji Te, and Galatea knelt side by side next to Di Xing, looking awkwardly at Ai Xiao, who seemed to be the mistress of the house.

Beside them, the Sirens, Melo, and Havenness (the Little Mermaid) knelt side by side, while the Narcissus Mermaid, Chidocaros, looked down at her three sisters.

"You three, I never said you couldn't go out, so why did you sneak out? Were you planning something bad? If I hadn't found out sooner, would you all have started laying eggs?"

"H-How could this be?" Siren said, her forehead covered in cold sweat. "Sister Qiduo, we were just bored at home and wanted to go out to play, but we were afraid you would worry."

“Yes, we really didn’t mean to do anything bad,” Melo shook her head vigorously.

At this moment, Ai Xiao pulled out a huge rubber hammer from somewhere and prepared to use the righteous law on Di Xing.

But Di Xing quickly countered with a move that disarmed the opponent.

"Wait, isn't this the time to talk about this? Tell us what exactly happened first."

Earlier, when Di Xing and his group hurriedly returned to the Youquan Pavilion on the fourth floor, they discovered that an electronic defense network had been deployed outside the pavilion. The Cybernetic Armor-Armor was positioned atop it. Upon seeing Di Xing, Armor-Armor shook its right fin, opening a tiny entrance to the protective shield, allowing Di Xing to enter. Such comprehensive protection made Di Xing uneasy.

“Almost all the candidates for the Star-Up Tournament on the fourth floor have been attacked,” Vitty said as she approached, her right wrist wrapped in bandages.

"What?! Are you alright, Vivi?"

“It’s nothing,” Vitty shook her wrist. “I only have superficial injuries.” But Vitty’s expression visibly fell.

"The second candidate from the Clean Water Zone has been seriously injured. Although his life is not in danger, he will definitely be unable to participate in the Star-Up Competition."

"What? Who did this?"

"I don't know," came Que Yuxiang's weak voice. She walked over with someone's support.

"Oh, were you attacked too? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine," Ye Xuefang said briefly. "The assassin wasn't particularly strong, but her stealth abilities were astonishing, so Xiangxiang..."

"Xiangxiang, are you hurt?" Di Xing rushed over to check if Que Yuxiang was injured, but instead received a sharp rap on the head from Ye Xuefang.

"Xiangxiang is a nickname that only I can use."

Que Yuxiang said sadly, "I'm alright. Xiao Yi came to my shop to buy books, saying he wanted to come up with a super cool name for his ultimate move. The assassin launched his attack at that moment, and he protected me, but he himself..." Que Yuxiang began to sob softly.

"What? Xiao Yi? Could it be? Where is he right now?"

Que Yuxiang said sadly, "In the room inside."

Di Xing rushed into the room and saw Xiao Yi lying on the bed with a white cloth covering his face.

"Are you kidding me, Xiao Yi? Didn't you say you were going to win the championship? What's going on here?"

Di Xing walked tremblingly to Xiao Yi's side and punched his chest in grief and anger.

"Damn it, who hit me?" Xiao Yi actually sat up abruptly.

"Holy crap, you're not dead?"

"My flames aren't so easily extinguished," Xiao Yi said smugly. "Hey, who put a white cloth over my face? By the way, do you want me dead that badly?"

"That's right, after all, I want to inherit your Fire King deck."

"You're dreaming. I won't die even if you do."

"That's great! You look so energetic, you should be able to live for a while longer," Di Xing said happily, patting his leg.

"Damn it, my injury is on my leg, don't touch me!"

In the corner, the scheming witch covered her mouth and chuckled, preparing to sneak away with a white cloth, but Di Xing grabbed her witch's hat and pressed it down.

"Little Witch, we need to have a good talk later."

""

Wow, you guys are really full of energy. Your faces are wrapped in bandages, and you're limping over with crutches. Surprisingly, he's wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigar.

"Bai Yiqi, you're injured too?"

Shi Xun, standing behind him, scratched his head and said sheepishly, "Lord Bai Yiqi did it to protect me..."

"Wow, Bai Yiqi! I already told you, you're injured now, you can't wear sunglasses, you can't wear a hat, and you're definitely not allowed to smoke cigars!"

Behind Bai Yiqi, Xiao Ying rushed over, grabbed the bandage on Bai Yiqi's face and ripped it off forcefully. All of Bai Yiqi's show-off props flew out, and then an extremely beautiful face appeared in everyone's view, a stark contrast to his previous wild image.

"Wow, Xiaoying, you even get plastic surgery?"

"I'm not taking the blame for this; this is how this guy actually looks."

"Alright, stop arguing!" Ye Xuefang snapped, finally gathering the noisy crowd in the hall.

First, we need to clarify the current situation.

......

“Yes, sir, I understand.” In the darkness, Reed Leppard, the head of the Leppard family, respectfully placed one hand on his chest and bowed his straight back to the person opposite him.

"Hmm, I hope you won't disappoint us," the man in black replied coldly, then turned and vanished into thin air from the enclosed space.

Reid Leppard slowly sat down in the chair, picked up the teacup with slightly trembling hands, and took a sip.

Just then, a knock sounded on the door.

Come in.

"Father, has the envoy left?" It was his eldest son, Leidu Lepad, who entered.

"Um"

"Father, aren't you being a little too respectful to them?"

"Heh! Leidu, you must remember, although we are among the wealthiest in the Hexagram family, money doesn't necessarily equal power; only power is truly important."

"In present-day Dulun, although the city lord is nominally in charge, the Dark Council, which also possesses power, controls the vast majority of affairs, including the Dark Guards who were active recently."

"Therefore, we must seize this opportunity to accumulate enough wealth so that we may be able to fight against, or even join, the Dark Council."

“I understand, Father, but you once taught me that money is a special commodity, but not the most important one. This time…”

“I understand, Father, but you once taught me that money is a special commodity, but not the most important one. This time…”

"I understand what you mean. If the plan goes smoothly, the biggest beneficiary will definitely not be the other five Hexagram families, but the Jia Kou family."

That's right.

"Hmph, that's why I prepared a backup plan long ago, and I suppose those old foxes did the same."

—Postscript—

First of all, thank you to all the readers who have made it this far. Without your support, this book would hardly have been able to continue until now. However, I regret to inform you that my work is becoming increasingly busy, and frankly, the book's performance is not good. Therefore, from now on, I will only be able to update one chapter per day. However, I, the author, do not want to abandon this story (?????), so I will definitely finish writing Di Xing's story. It's just that the update speed and the construction of duels will decrease later on. Thank you again for your support, and I hope we can accompany Di Xing, this story, and all the rebels to the very end!
