My anime-style card deck is fine!

His gaze remained fixed and unwavering as he looked at Amon, bowed slightly, and then vanished from the field.

"I will always be here, Major."

The girl's last words echoed in the air, and Amon simply nodded: "Take a short rest."

Violet's departure brought Amon three cards.

The already wealthy family was suddenly overwhelmed by the prospect of becoming even richer.

"..."

Are there really such shameless cards out there?!

Looking at the five cards piled high in Amon's hand, Tang Shuang cursed inwardly.

Both of these cards can be used as add-ons to other decks – after all, as long as you draw Violet, you can use Violet to search for the Midnight Cleanup card, and then activate Midnight Cleanup to send Violet to the graveyard, thus gaining three extra cards!

Those are three toothpicks!!

Tang Shuang felt that her duel with Amon was like a roller coaster, constantly going up and down... If she kept falling, she would fall into the abyss!

I can hardly recognize the characters anymore!

But Amon's actions weren't over yet. He calmly played a card: "Normal Summon [Unsent Letter], banish three [Letters] from your Deck, and add one [Violet] from your Graveyard to your hand."

"Then I summon it normally!"

“Come back, Violet.”

The girl, who had just delivered her last words, instantly returned to the field.

It felt like time had reversed.

The scene in Amon remained completely unchanged; the girl named Violet still stood there quietly like a water lily—except that the girl turned around and hopped back and forth in the graveyard.

Amon's hand now holds four full cards!

The area outside the district also received three more letters as a result.

Even the letter that could not be sent was still a type of letter, and after it was used up, it naturally ended up in the cemetery.

While Tang Shuang was staring in disbelief.

Amon's manipulation continues:

"Activate the effect of [Letter from the Cold Wind] in the graveyard. When there are 4 letters in the graveyard, you can activate this effect to send one [letter] from the banished zone to the graveyard."

"I choose to send the letter from the conspiracy to the grave."

Cemetery Letters +1 again

Tang Shuang was completely numb.

After Amon's actions, he not only had four cards left in his hand, but also stacked up to 10 letters in his graveyard!

Even outside the area, there are still two letters waiting to be returned!

Tang Shuang could easily foresee that in the next three rounds, with the [Cold Wind] effect officially activated, Amon would be able to send three letters to the grave each round!

Even more than that...

Because Amon has so many cards in his hand, as long as Amon draws one, or even just uses Violet to search for it, he can activate Erica's effect again!

Six more letters were sent to the grave!

Even without Violet, Tang Shuang already suspects that Amon has Erica in his hands!

Tang Shuang was, after all, an outstanding talent nurtured by a large family. Although she was surprised by Amon's series of actions, her instincts as a duelist made her notice a very crucial point.

—There aren't many cards left in Amon's deck!

With so many letters being sent to the graveyard, Amon's deck has been compressed to its limit. However, because so many letters are being sent to the graveyard, the number of letters in the deck has been greatly diluted.

Therefore, if Amon has Erica but doesn't use her, there's only one possibility!

There are fewer than three [letters] in my hand!

If she wants to fight back, now is the only time, because once the next round comes, the power that Amon has accumulated in the first three rounds will erupt like a volcano, and she will have no ability to resist!

but……

"There's nothing I can do," Tang Shuang said, trying to calm herself down.

She got stuck.

After the "Ladies Wearing Flowers in Their Hair" technique failed to work and the Hundred Flowers Garden failed to achieve its intended effect, Tang Shuang was completely helpless.

I stubbornly refused to give up, hoping only to get my hands on Hundred Flowers Garden through gacha pulls...

The result, of course, was failure.

In fact, even if one gets the Hundred Flowers Garden, whether one can beat Amon is still unknown.

Judging from the activation conditions of Autumn Breeze and Spring Breeze requiring 4 cards and Heaven requiring 6 cards, Amon's letter-type cards should have activation conditions of an even number.

In other words, both 8-card and 10-card decks have cards that can be activated.

In the next round, if Amon does indeed stack up 6 more letters as predicted, what will be the effect of 12, 14, or even 16 letters?

It's truly chilling to even think about.

"Round Four."

Just as Tang Shuang had predicted, Amon first dumped two [Letters] from his hand in one go, and then activated a ritual card called [Violet's Hard Work].

The three cards were replaced with three letters.

Then, he summoned Erica, whom Tang Shuang remembered very well, and piled the three letters into the graveyard again.

"And then, finally, I activate the effect of the cold wind and send one of the [letters] from the outer area to the graveyard."

Amon calmly looked at the silent Tang Shuang across from him and completed the final operation, neatly stacking all 16 letters in the cemetery.

How terrifying!

The girl pouted, almost bursting into tears.

She had come all this way just to meet her idolized older brother, only to find that she had messed up their conversation and caused both of them to part on bad terms.

The girl was already very upset, and now she was being brutally beaten by Amon without any mercy!

They were beaten so badly they couldn't fight back at all!

I'm your sister! Don't you know how to hold back?!

Tang Shuang looked at Amon with a pitiful expression.

“It’s no use looking at me like that.” Amon remained completely unmoved and, under Tang Shuang’s increasingly aggrieved gaze, activated the card he had just sent from the banished zone to the graveyard.

"Activate the effect of [Letter of Peace] in the Graveyard. You can activate it when there are 16 [Letters] in the Graveyard—"

Coming?

Tang Shuang closed her eyes in fear; the effect required 16 cards in the graveyard to activate!

What kind of earth-shattering effect will it have?

Unable to know or even dare to think about it, the girl could only wait with a heavy heart for the final judgment to arrive.

Even though Amon didn't slow down his speech, the girl felt as if time was stretching out endlessly. The fear of waiting for the guillotine of judgment to fall made her tremble slightly.

"..."

This little girl, she still cries at the drop of a hat just like when she was little...

Amon sighed softly, but still activated the final card effect without hesitation: "Force a duel here [Draw]".

I'm coming!

It's actually a forced Apple... Huh?!

Tang Shuang was terrified like a quail when she suddenly realized what was happening.

When she opened her eyes, because the duel was over, Amon had already taken Wen Nuan and left in the car that was parked there.

The underground parking lot was very quiet.

Tang Shuang could only see the exhaust fumes as Amon drove away, but for some reason, the girl showed a big smile.

Even though there were still tiny tears in the corners of her eyes, she was completely oblivious to them.

With a silly little face, he happily ran back to the hotel.

……

In the car.

"What are you looking at me for?" Amon tidied up his deck, then casually put it back into his mental world.

The Trainer deck was once again filled into Amon's card box.

Seeing the warm and surprised look on Wen Nuan's face, Amon laughed and said, "Did you really think I was some kind of cold-hearted person?"

"...Ah, no, not at all."

Wen Nuan shook her head. She didn't know much about A Meng because she hadn't known him for long, but she did know that she felt very comfortable around him.

Although it was almost like being sold into servitude, being sold to Amon to be his personal secretary.

But in reality, Amon did nothing to her.

It's not that Wen Nuan is being self-deprecating; in fact, Wen Nuan has great confidence in her figure and appearance, coupled with her knowledge and abilities, which is why Ms. Tang gave Wen Nuan to A Meng.

Wen Nuan is very clear about her attractiveness to men.

Although she had prepared herself mentally, she was still grateful that Amon was willing to respect her wishes.

"Young Master is a very 'warm' person."

The phrase "warmth" is a double entendre.

Amon could only helplessly spread his hands: "What else can I do? That little girl is very favored in the Tang family. If I really beat her until she cries, I'll have to go and comfort her."

"My relationship with the Tang family is ultimately not one of cooperation, so it's best to avoid trouble related to family ties if possible."
