Domino City, somewhere unknown, basement.
A man dressed in black like a sack descended down the dark stairs. He wears a wide hood, and his sturdy body is tightly covered in black clothes. It is clear that there is no one around, but the brim of the hat is lowered very low, as if he is afraid of being recognized.
Walking along the darkness where he can't see the fingers, he walked to the end of the stairs, and in front of it was a locked iron door.
The man took out the key from under the large clothes, inserted it into the keyhole and turned it around before turning it around, nervously checking to see if anyone was following him.
After confirming that it was correct, he squeaked open the door.
There was a dim light from the other end of the door. The flickering candles lit up by themself from the braziers hanging on the walls on both sides, as if there was an invisible ghost in this confined space.
The man walked to the end of the secret room and knelt down carefully against the empty wall, just like people in ancient times were reverently waiting for divine revelation on the altar.
A golden light appeared on his forehead under his hood, forming a golden eye.
The man showed a look of horror and awe, and kowtowed in the empty room.
"Master Marik."
Marik Ishtar, the descendant of the Tomb Keeper Clan, the leader of the Gurus Group—although he was not here, his voice was projected directly into the man's mind through the power of the Millennium Rod.
"Quinn was defeated, too." Marik came straight to the point, and his voice sounded coldly, "You know what that means, right?"
"Yes...Yes..." The man was submissive, bowing his head and not daring to say a word.
"Three rare card hunters have been defeated by that kid in Nightcrawler World so far," Marik said coldly, "and every time that kid wins, he will take away our card deck, as if he is deliberately provoking us. !"
Yes, that's right, the deck held by the Vampire Quinn who was defeated this time was also pulled out by Yu Yôu...
And this time, the process was also recorded by the "photographers" in the front row.
The sand sculpture players were overjoyed when they saw this scene in the video...
"I'm surprised that you can pull out other people's card groups if you win?"
"I seem to know so many secrets in Yu Yôu's store..."
"Does it mean that you can buy a vampire deck to play next time you go to the store?"
"I feel like this deck should be ok with a little adjustment in this environment? Wait for a big guy to build it."
When you saw this place at that time, Yu Yôu couldn't help but wonder if his actions would lead the sand sculpture players astray.
Imagine the picture of sand sculpture players running up to pull out the card group every time they hit the opposite side in the future...it seems a bit funny.
Hearing Mr. Marik's anger, the man was shaking like a sieve and lay motionless on the ground, not daring to make a sound at all.
"This is completely different from what you promised before." Marik said coldly, "Domino City was supposed to be your area. You are the nail that Gurus planted here, and you promised until the Bttle City Tournament. Everything can be handled before starting.
But you failed, you let me down. So unless you can give me a good reason in two seconds, your mission is over. "
As he spoke, the golden eyes on the man's forehead had already radiated divine light.
The man's pupils shrank, and his terrified eyes were bloodshot. He began to gasp heavily, almost suffocating, and even had the illusion that death was strangling his throat...
"Wait...wait!" he shouted desperately, "I...I have a card for you to look at!"
"Oh?"
Marik paused the execution for a while, ready to see what he could pull out with interest.
With trembling hands, the Gurus hunter pulled a card out of his robe.
That's a rare card of the highest rank, rated as USR's "Red-Eyes Black Dragon".
Marik became interested: "You actually got the 'Red-Eyes Black Dragon'? I remember this card is..."
"I got it from the friend of Muto Yugi, and Seonoki also grabbed it." The rare card hunter seemed to have found hope again, and quickly took credit.
"So that's the case, so you have done something useful after all." Marik snorted.
The golden eyes on the man's forehead dimmed a little.
"Forget it, I'll spare your life this time," Marik said, "but things can't continue like this, and if we continue, we'll be in an even more unfavorable situation before the plan is officially implemented.
I am arranging more people to go to your side, and I will rush over to participate in the competition when things are over here. "
"Ah?" The man was stunned. "But it doesn't mean that if too many people are sent over, the battle between the two sides will break out..."
"It doesn't matter." Marik sneered, "The purpose of Gurus's existence is for this time's plan, for the hatred of our tomb guards that has surpassed three thousand years. If you want to fight, you can fight, there is nothing to be afraid of."
After a pause, he smiled and said: "In addition, I have already set up hidden piles in Domino City. Unlike you trash, it is a puppet controlled by me personally, and his deck has the ultimate trump card that can wipe out any enemy in an instant."
The man's eyelids jumped: "Could it be... God?"
"That's right! It's the God of the Underworld, the 'Sky Dragon of Osiris'!" Marik said loudly.
The man reminded cautiously: "But if the doll loses the duel, wouldn't the card of the Gods be...?"
If you lose in a duel, won't you be courier who sent away God card?
That's really funny.
"You mean I'm going to lose!?" Marik raised his voice.
"No... not."
"Humph." Marik snorted heavily.
Marik said that he is the second strongest duelist in their village, and he has never lost a card game with anyone other than his sister!
It's just that he grew up within the tomb guard family, and he basically never played cards with anyone other than his sister...
I, Marik become a courier?
Nonexistent!
The man realized that it was not good, and hurriedly made up for his flattery: "Master Marik is wise and unparalleled in the world. With the card of God in his hand, there must be no rival."
"Humph."
If you are acquainted with each other, this time you won't care about it.
"One more thing." Marik said coldly, "I asked you to pay attention to the whereabouts of Kaiba and my sister Isis, what are they doing it?"
"Yes." The man said hurriedly.
"Okay, continue to pay attention." Marik said, "'The Sky Dragon of Osiris', 'The Winged Dragon of Ra', these two God cards are in my hand. Obelisk was handed over to the Kaiba by the elder sister.
Hmm! Although it was a small accident, it was not a problem. In time, I will defeat Kaiba to retake the Obelisk, and even if my sister blocks my way, I will defeat it myself..."
The man said subconsciously: "But I heard that your duel with Lord Isis doesn't seem to have a high chance of winning..."
Then he realized in time that something was wrong and quickly shut up.
The leader of Gurus, the descendant of the Tomb Keeper Clan, and the master of the Winged Dragon of Ra, Marik Ishtar fell into silence for a minute.
Then he said coldly: "I've decided, I still have to execute you first."
"Ahhh! I was wrong, please forgive me!!!"
