Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: The Path of Evolution

The two found a place to rest for the time being.

Yusei finally had the chance to talk to Kanpaku.

He looked intently at Guan Bai.

"Thank you. If it weren't for your help, I would have been arrested by the police today."

After entering the safe zone, Kanpaku dismantled the gold CD player containing the D-wheel.

Naturally, the full view of the Planet was revealed to Yusei.

Upon seeing the familiar D-Wheel, Yusei naturally recognized the real person behind the night-clothes.

He's the dueling killer of the satellite district!

The two have been friends for a long time.

I never expected that he would also come to the city.

Is there something you need to take care of?

"I sensed something unusual in the stadium, and I wanted to see what was going on."

Guan Bai explained with a smile.

"When we arrived at the stadium, we found you lying on the ground. Wang was standing next to you, along with a group of police officers."

When the results at the stadium were mentioned, Yusei's expression became somewhat complicated.

Jack has truly become a top figure in the district.

It seems even more distant from me now.

Although, I will not stop chasing after him.

However, his good friend's disdain for him, treating him like a burden, naturally left him feeling somewhat uneasy.

From Yusei's perpetually calm face, Kanpaku could not discern any emotion.

However, being familiar with the plot, he could naturally guess some of his thoughts.

Awakening from his reverie, Yusei spoke earnestly once more.

"No, even if it's just a small favor, as the beneficiary, I benefit greatly from it."

"Then I'll accept your thanks."

Kanpaku continued pushing the cart, thinking about how the plot would unfold.

Yusei will not go to jail or be labeled a criminal.

This is a good thing, more or less.

However, the butterfly effect that follows remains to be seen.

At least, there won't be a duel with the jailers.

The old man in prison can't be released early just because of Yu Xing.

In this respect, Guan Bai subtly tricked others.

Therefore, Kanpaku will try his best to get him out later.

We should discuss it with Yego when the time comes.

This was also a test of Yego's true attitude.

Both of them, pushing the carts, were lost in their own thoughts.

So they didn't say anything.

The most urgent thing is to find a place to hide and get through the night.

We'll leave the top-tier area after the first round of searches ends tomorrow.

With that in mind, Kanpaku sent a message to Joel.

I briefly explained my situation.

At first, Joel didn't react much, but a few minutes later, she faxed over some information.

It's a map of the top-tier area, with all suitable hiding spots marked in red circles.

As expected, Joel remained as reliable as ever when it came to intelligence.

Kanpaku scanned the surrounding area.

He assessed where this place was in the top-tier zone.

Then, Kanpaku turned to Yusei and said.

"Come with me, I know a place where we can rest."

Yusei nodded and silently pushed the Yusei, following Kanpaku's D-Wheel.

This dueling assassin is truly incredibly skilled.

You can find hidden spots even in the top-tier areas.

People like that can get along well anywhere...

Just as the two were about to set off.

The soft music playing on the street was interrupted by the sound of engines.

The night in the top-tier area added an extra layer of tension.

Kanpaku and Yusei immediately stopped and hid in the shadows.

Kanpaku glanced at the road and saw a white D-wheel speeding along it.

It turns out Jack has returned.

After shaking off the guards, he drove the D-Wheel alone to the top zone.

As the "King," he is free to move about in every district.

He didn't even need to use his face to return to the top-tier area.

—The wheel of fortune he drives is the best proof of that.

A strange thought suddenly popped into Guan Bai's mind.

He can be replaced.

What am I thinking... It's like this "King" title is some kind of very rare and precious title.

The influence of this thing will plummet after Jack steps down.

After Yu Xing becomes the new king, the police on the street will still find fault with him, won't they?

While mentally criticizing his own thoughts, Kanpaku looked at Yusei.

He also watched in the direction where Jack's Wheel of Fortune had gone.

His expression was serious and solemn.

It seems he was actually quite unhappy about the duel being interrupted tonight.

However, there's nothing I can do but feel annoyed.

The perfect opportunity to duel Jack has been missed; we'll have to wait for another chance.

The most urgent task now is to get to a place to stay.

Although the guards in the top zone and the guards who were hunting them rarely exchanged intelligence.

However, basic communications regarding Wang's case will certainly be conducted.

Even if the police in the top-tier district are extremely arrogant, they would at least conduct a routine check for such a major incident.

So if Kanpaku and Yusei dawdle any longer, it won't be good if they get caught by the police.

Just as Guan Bai and his companion were about to set off, a rustling sound came from a corner of the alley.

The two exchanged a glance and looked warily in that direction.

……

"Long Ke, Long Ke! What are you doing out here in the middle of the night! It's dangerous!"

Longya followed behind his sister, looking puzzled.

My younger sister is usually very mature.

People who don't know them might even mistake her for Longya's older sister.

But I don't know what's wrong with me today.

Despite the brief power outage that had just occurred, Long Ke ran downstairs without a word.

She kept telling herself that going out late at night was dangerous!

The dragon remained silent, only running relentlessly.

The moment the power went out, I felt a strange burning pain all over my body.

A phantom voice urged him to go to a certain place in the top-tier area.

"Two people need your help..."

That's what the voice said.

His tone was calm and gentle, yet he possessed an incredible sense of approachability.

It was as if I had heard or interacted with the owner of that voice before.

It won't lie to itself.

With this strange idea in mind, Longke decided to follow the guidance of that voice.

As I turned into the alley, the burning sensation intensified.

Sure enough, she saw two D-wheelers and two men.

"Long Ke, wait for me! What's wrong with you today? Suddenly... just..."

Longya caught up with Longke and was about to criticize her immature behavior when she saw Guanbai and Youxing at the same time.

A crab's head, a masked man.

His street-smart attire made him wonder if he had encountered one of the recently rumored biker gangs.

"Long...Long Ke, are they your friends?"

Fear crept into his heart, and Longya subconsciously moved closer to his sister.

Long Ke gently took his hand in a comforting gesture.

Then, looking at the two unfamiliar men in front of him, he spoke somewhat timidly.

"Um...you guys probably need some help...right?"
