Although Siegfried has a well-planned and detailed plan (he thought it was), the premise of all this must be based on the fact that Seto Kaiba did not notice his small movements, and he was able to successfully sneak into the competition held in Kaiba Land.
If even this premise was not fulfilled, he would not even have a chance to do anything.
But after thinking about it, he always felt that it was impossible for Kaiba to predict that he was going to make trouble.
So he specially entrusted his eyeliner in Domino City to inquire about the news. He heard that it seemed that the Duel King named Yuei Vu made a special trip to Kaiba Corp this morning to inquire about this matter, and pointed out two names "Sieg Lloyd" and "Leon Wilson", refusing to allow both of them to compete.
Siegfried: "?"
If it was Seto Kaiba who foresaw the foresight, predicted the enemy ahead of time, and predicted that he was going to make trouble, then it would be a little easier to think about it. After all, the two of them met once when they were very young, and the two companies could be regarded as rivals, and there were some entanglements…
…But where did this Yuei Vu come from?
This matter had nothing to do with him, didn't it?
Siegfried frowned for a moment and finally made a decision.
"Yuei Vu…huh, interesting." He said coldly, "Let me meet you for a while."
…
As expected by Yuei Vu, immediately after the announcement of the KC Grand Prix, there was an upsurge in the player forum.
In the Battle City before, the players were still rookies who had just created an account— the vast majority of players didn't even have the qualifications for the Closed Beta.
But this KC Grand Prix was different. Quite a lot of players who have already got their decks were already eager to try, as if they have already imagined the picture of themselves entering the finals.
After all, everyone who has read the original work also knows that the level of the KC Grand Prix players was much lower than that of the previous competitions.
The contestants of the KC Grand Prix in the original work included, but were not limited to, false fortune-tellers playing with crystal balls, detectives with pipes in their mouths, and even a professional old hostage who came to participate with funny hoods covering his face — Solomon Muto, Yugi's grandpa…
In short. it was "everyone playing cards".
Compared with previous competitions, the contestants in this competition did look a bit amateurish.
This made all the players feel that this was a great opportunity!
For players, this was their first opportunity to step onto the world stage and act aggressively in front of all players and even NPCs!
Therefore, the preselection has not yet started, but the forum was already full of enthusiasm.
In the past two days, Yuei Vu browsed the forum and even came across an online novel that he thought was quite interesting. It was written by a fellow called The Name Has Already Been Taken, a fanfic telling the story of the lonely world champion who left the club and returned to the league to win the Duel King title…
Yuei Vu took out this book and flipped through it in his spare time, and he read it with great interest. The author's writing style was good, and the sense of coolness is still in place. The most important thing was that the protagonist is very handsome, which made readers like Yuei Vu feel very immersive and even had the illusion of looking at themselves in a parallel world.
The only fly in the ointment was that the author loved to cut chapters short, and his release schedule was unstable.
Yuei Vu silently wrote down the author's ID, wondering if he could directly use Shadow Game if he met this guy in the game in the future, and killed him three times a week in one breath, so that he couldn't play the game and could only go back and update the novel, for the benefit of all readers who were waiting for new chapters…
Sure enough, I am a good person who cares about others!
Yuei Vu gave himself a thumbs up.
Sitting in the card shop flipping through the forum, a black car suddenly stopped outside the door.
The attendant in a tuxedo opened the car door, and a pair of slender legs in a pink suit poked out from the car.
Siegfried got out of the car, walked with the coquettish and elegant steps of a model on the runway, and shook off his long pink hair.
There was a smell of perfume or shampoo when he entered the door.
…In short, this guy looked nothing like a straight man.
As soon as he entered the door, he immediately attracted the attention of the players who were playing mahjong and poker next to him.
The players raised their heads and pricked up their ears.
"Um? There seems to be a story?"
"I smell the taste of the plot".
"Duel King Yuei Vu… right?" The man went straight to the counter, still holding a rose of unknown meaning in his hand.
If a person didn't know, he might think that this flower was for Yuei Vu…
"This is the first time we meet." Although his tone was very polite, his eyes were clearly hostile, and he showed a threatening smile, "I think there is reason to believe…you took away something that belongs to me."
The screwball players watching the cutscene CG immediately began to think divergently.
"Yuei Vu-san took something that belonged to him? What do you mean?"
"Isn't that nonsense? This is Siegfried, Kaiba's enemy. What Yuei Vu-san took away must be the heart of Kaiba!"
"Fuck, is it true or not?"
"Don't tell me, I think it's really possible…"
Yuei Vu's face suddenly darkened.
Fuck, this group of screwballs can't do anything but imagine wild fantasy all day long.
However, whether Siegfried automatically filtered out the words of the screwballs or didn't hear them at all, he seemed to take the change on Yuei Vu's face as being afraid of himself, so he couldn't help snorting: "Although I don't know what relationship you have with Seto Kaiba, and how did you learn some news that you shouldn't know…
But that doesn't matter anymore. I'm here to warn you, it's between me and him! You are just an outsider, a third person…"
The screwballs next to them couldn't help becoming more lively after hearing the darker and darker lines and immediately started chatting and discussing.
At this moment, visually, there were already screwballs posting on the forum, and those who were more capable may even have the outline of a millions-of-word BL fanfic already…
Yuei Vu's face became even uglier.
He's thinking now—
——Should I just make this big-mouthed pink-haired guy shut up forever?
...No. It seems that it will only be counterproductive, and the screwballs will become more and more outrageous…
"…Of course, you can also take this as a warning,"
Siegfried spoke for a long time and finally finished his threatening speech – completely unaware that Yuei Vu was distracted the whole time and didn't hear what he said clearly.
Then, as if for a demonstration, he made a gesture, and several burly black suits accompanied him and immediately took a step forward, full of the sight of a street bully.
However, this demonstration immediately poked a hornet's nest.
The screwballs watching the play immediately saw the opportunity to take credit for their performance in front of Yuei Vu and quickly jumped up one by one.
"Do you want to fight?"
"No, I think he wants to play cards!"
"Brothers, someone wants to make trouble!"
"…"
A group of noisy screwballs immediately surrounded Siegfried and the few black suits he brought.
Although he really didn't want to admit it, in the face of the oppression of this group of screwballs, Siegfried was actually… a little timid in his heart.
Especially the man in glasses in front of him, who was respectfully called "Brother Fae" by other players, with a smirk on his face, and his eyes under the lens are very obscenely looking up and down on Siegfried, and the expression on his face seems to say——
——Come on, let me test whether your development is normal or not.
Looking directly at him, Siegfried felt a chill down his spine, and even had a strange illusion——
——This person is my natural enemy!
Of course, as a qualified villain and gentleman, no matter what his heart was, he had to pretend that he was extremely calm on the surface.
Commonly known as "seemingly stable as an old dog but in fact a lot of panics".
Siegfried maintained a calm smile—in order to do this, he had to try his best not to look directly at "Brother Fae" in front of him—and said to Yuei Vu: "As a Duel King, do you want to use such a rude way to solve the problem?"
"Oh?" Yuei Vu raised his eyebrows.
"I believe you haven't answered my question yet." Siegfried said, "I heard that you rejected my application to participate in the KC Grand Prix… I think I am quite authoritative in the field of duels, and I have no doubts about my strength.
I applied for the competition as a duelist, and I really can't think of any reason to be rejected…"
"Because you are too weak." Yuei Vu replied without thinking.
Siegfried's facial muscles twitched.
"In fact," Yuei Vu said calmly, "I believe that President Kaiba will also agree with me."
After a pause, he smiled: "Let's skip these nice words and talk openly, Mr. Lloyd. I know your purpose – you want to defeat Seto Kaiba in a duel in the KC Grand Prix, right? ?"
Siegfried was silent.
He did have such thoughts.
Kaiba Corp has transformed from an arms company, and its status in the dueling world has been rising all the way, and its reputation was at the top of the sky. It must have something to do with Seto Kaiba's tyrannical strength and personality as a duelist.
Or rather, the development of this company was actually extremely dependent on Kaiba himself as the chairman.
If he could defeat Kaiba head-on through a duel in the competition held by Kaiba Corp, it would undoubtedly deal a heavy blow to the popularity and reputation of Kaiba Corp.
And he, Siegfried, had the confidence not to lose to Kaiba in a duel!
"As you said just now, we are all duelists, and we shouldn't solve problems in a rude way… so I will give you a special chance."
Yuei Vu smiled slightly and raised the dueling disk in his hand.
"Duel with me." He said, "If you beat me, I can not only allow you to participate but also guarantee that you can skip the preliminaries and directly fight against President Kaiba in the finals."
President Kaiba didn't intend to participate in this competition, and it's no secret. Everyone knew that President Kaiba was currently in a state of "suspending card addiction and retiring".
But this was not a big problem. Everyone understood what happened to President Kaiba's retirement. He belonged to the kind of card-addicted teenager who will immediately "unseal" as long as he got a "we have a slot, can you come?" invitation…
Siegfried was taken aback for a moment, his eyes flickered, he frowned slightly, and then he snorted.
"Okay, I'll take it then. But…"
He crossed his arms and looked at Yuei Vu coldly.
"…Don't regret it."
