My anime-style card deck is fine!

"..."

No one understands what the little girl is thinking.

However, Tang Shuang's appearance made the atmosphere at the scene very awkward. Ms. Tang, who could have been chatting about business, now didn't even know what to say.

Behind her, Wen Nuan sensed something was wrong and couldn't help but feel anxious.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

Amon took out his phone and checked the time; it wasn't late.

However, he had no desire to stay there any longer. Since they had nothing to talk about, it was best for them to go their separate ways.

……

Walking inside the underground parking garage.

The driver was already waiting at the designated location, while Wen Nuan followed behind A Meng with small, quick steps, looking at A Meng's back with a conflicted expression.

No, how could a perfectly normal mother-son reunion turn into such an awkward situation?

Compared to the warmth behind him, Amon is now more focused on the three cards in his hand.

This family dinner was not without its benefits.

Amon was officially accepted by the Wu and Tang families, and thus Amon also received two cards from his mother.

Just as the Wang family of the royal family inherits the [Royal Domain], the Wu family and the Tang family also have their own inheritances, compared to the Wang family which inherited from the ancient Qin Dynasty.

The Wu family also inherited the legacy of the State of Wu, one of the Seven Warring States.

As for the Tang family, their lineage naturally extends to the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

Of course, this is just what they claim on the surface; no one knows the truth.

This is similar to Li Shimin's claim that he was a descendant of Laozi Li Er, but who knows for sure?

In any case, through this method, a large number of families of various kinds have indeed emerged in modern times, and through connections such as names, origins, and histories that are of dubious authenticity, they have ultimately managed to claim a powerful connection.

And then I truly gained strength from it!

Because the state recognizes their identity, it represents the collective consciousness of humanity acknowledging this 'fact'!

Just like the royal family of the monarchy, after the founding of the country, they suddenly claimed that they had obtained the Imperial Seal of the State [He Shi Bi]. After decades of publicity, although it has never been exhibited or made public, various archaeologists and historians have endorsed it.

Thus, the royal family gained control of the [royal domain]!

And what Amon held in his hand...

"Is this the card passed down by the Wu and Tang families?" Looking at the card in his hand, Amon was surprised, yet it seemed to make sense.

None of these three cards are complete cards.

It's a semi-finished card!

These three cards contain a special ability, but they are not finished products.

However, the names on the three cards could still be vaguely seen. Although the Tang family gave Amon the most cards, Amon was actually more interested in the card that Wu Tian gave him...

[Wu Gou]

Why shouldn't a man carry a Wu hook and seize fifty states beyond the passes?

The Wu family is the leading equipment card family in the country. When Amon creates [Crazy Plants], he starts with [Crazy Dave's Heart Water Bottle], which is also due to the influence the Wu family had on Amon when he was young.

As for the Tang family, they are a leading family in Chinese architecture, inheriting the concept of the 'Great Tang Dynasty'.

They specialize in building cards.

Amon's Angry Birds has elements reminiscent of the Tang family.

Although not as number one in the country as the Wu family, the construction card is not as unpopular as the equipment card, so in terms of family background and influence, it is on par with the Wu family.

"Equipment cards..." Amon hadn't really been exposed to the field of equipment cards.

I was somewhat interested in the cards in my hand.

In an instant, concepts such as Gundam, mecha, Zanpakuto, Imperial Arms, Martial Soul, Noble Phantasm, Guilty Crown, and Battle Life Fiber appeared in Amon's mind.

But before Amon could come up with anything, a voice came from behind him.

"Wait, wait a minute, Amon!"

A girl jogged over from a short distance away.

Upon hearing this, Amon and Wen Nuan stopped in their tracks. However, Butububa, who had popped out of the spiritual world, was not watching where he was going and bumped into Amon's calf, falling flat on his back.

Then she was picked up by Wen Nuan, who had a loving motherly smile on her face.

Bu Tuba didn't struggle and let Wen Nuan hold him.

"Wait, wait a minute!" The girl, who was still developing, did not yet have a noticeable figure, but she exuded youthful vitality. At this moment, she ran directly to Amon with a bit of a huff.

It was Tang Shuang, Amon's younger sister.

"Why are you walking so fast!" The little girl gasped for breath before putting her hands on her hips and looking at Amon.

"Huh? The banquet is over, so naturally I'll leave."

Amon had no idea why his adopted sister had come to see him.

In fact, Tang Shuang herself didn't know either.

Looking at Amon's matter-of-fact face, she suddenly felt a surge of anger, especially after Amon left. Although her mother didn't show it, she, as his daughter, knew very well what was going on!

—My mother is heartbroken!

The naive girl didn't understand the complexities of the adult world, but all she knew was that her idol, Brother Amon, was the culprit who had caused her mother so much heartache!

and so……

"Let's duel, Amon!" Tang Shuang took out her duel disk and looked at Amon very seriously.

"Huh?!"

If it were anything else, Amon would have simply turned around and left.

But since you've brought up a duel...

Amon suddenly became interested, unfolding the Duel Disk he hadn't taken off, and a smug smile appeared on his face: "Little girl, you actually dare to challenge me, you've got some nerve."

"Let me see how much you've grown over the years, Wushuang!"

Chapter 198: Tang Shuang!

In today's society, duels are a very common occurrence.

As long as you haven't reached the Silver rank, Bronze-level duels won't interfere with or affect reality. Even if you're surrounded by the duel arena, you can use your mental power to isolate the arena and shield yourself from its influence if you don't want to.

There is no need to worry about problems caused by visual obstruction.

Therefore, for duelists, as long as they make eye contact, they can start a duel anytime, anywhere!

Amon had no idea why his adopted sister had suddenly come to challenge him to a duel.

But it doesn’t matter!

Amon accepts any challenge, no matter how difficult!

"I remember you said your sister is a year younger than you, so she should only be in middle school now, right?"

In the mental world, Kamizley lay on Amon's lap, with a small screen floating in front of her, through which she could observe the outside world—this screen represented the reflection of their cards in the mental world.

Through this, Kamizley and the others could even appear in the outside world, but there's no need for that now.

It's picnic time!

"No need. My younger sister is a little genius in our circle. She's already in her second year of high school. If I hadn't skipped a grade and gone to university, I might still be calling her 'senior' now."

The incarnation of Amon in the spiritual world explained.

"Is that so?" Camille stood behind him, her little feet dangling from her red and blue shoes, her long, white legs swaying in front of Amon without any covering.

However, although their posture was quite ambiguous.

But whether it was Amon or Kamizree, their attention was more focused on the duel!

“If it were you, this deck would definitely be more suitable.” Amon activated the deck stored in his mental world, connecting it with the card box next door.

The trainer girls who were originally stored in the deck were ejected.

Then he was placed into the spiritual world by Amon.

"Deck loading complete, Duel Disk linked—"

Amon raised his duel disk, smiling as he met Tang Shuang's gaze, who was now equally serious, and said at the same time, "Duel!"

"duel!"

The mental energy fields of both sides unfolded!

Colorless and formless spiritual energy fields collided and intertwined within the parking lot, eventually forming a duel arena around them.

—Card slot loading!

The five cards fell into the hands of both players.

Then both sides started their actions simultaneously. Compared to Amon, who simply drew a card, Tang Shuang on the other side was much more aggressive.

There was no time wasted on drawing cards; instead, the minion cards were played on the field immediately.

"I summon on the field—[Tang Palace Ladies: Plum Blossom Exploring Ladies]!"

A cute, two-headed lady with a round, auspicious appearance, short arms and legs, and only half a person's height appeared on the scene, holding a plum blossom in her hand.

"Then activate the effect of the Plum Blossom Lady, and Summon/Special Summon another [Tang Palace Lady] from my hand to the field."

"I choose to Special Summon [Tang Dynasty Ladies - Ladies Wearing Flowers in Their Hair]!"

A cute chibi-style lady appears.

However, the newly emerged lady's hands were empty, but her hair, which was styled in a bun, was adorned with a very eye-catching golden hairpin.

"The effect of 'Lady with Flowers in Her Hair' adds one [Tang Palace] building card from my deck to my hand."
