Yu-Gi-Oh!: This isn't a duel!

You Yang ignored the stares of the crowd and walked straight forward, taking the black card out of the unclaimed Duel Disk slot on the ground.

【True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast】.

You Yang gently stroked the card surface with his fingers, feeling the powerful and domineering energy fluctuations emanating from it.

This card's power is undeniable.

In the world he originally traveled to, this was a "forbidden card for ten thousand years" that was locked in a dark room.

However, in this world, there is no such thing as a "banned card list".

As long as you can get your hands on it, as long as you can control it, that's your power.

Currently, my deck doesn't contain any Level 9 monsters, so I can't Xyz Summon them through normal means.

However, it can also be specially summoned through some other means.

This [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast] can be added to your own deck.

Since there's no way to speed up the release of "Chair King" right now, speeding up the release of "Magic King Beast" to dominate the field is a pretty good option!

Just as You Yang was still thinking about how to optimize the deck.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

A sudden, urgent, and forceful knocking broke the eerie silence in the carriage, forcibly pulling everyone's thoughts back to reality.

"What's wrong?!"

"What happened inside?!"

"Please open the door! Open the door quickly! We are train police officers!"

Outside the door, the anxious shouts of the flight attendants and police officers rose and fell, filled with obvious fear and unease.

Clearly, the terrifying dark aura that had just leaked out, even though it was isolated by the dark barrier, still aroused the high alert of the train patrol personnel.

That heart-pounding energy fluctuation could send a chill down the spine of even an ordinary person.

Moreover, these train police officers are not ordinary people, but Elf Duelists.

"If the door doesn't open soon, we'll have to break it down to ensure passenger safety! We apologize for the inconvenience!"

Seeing that there was still no response from inside, the tone outside became more anxious, and there was even the clanging sound of metal being used to retrieve demolition tools.

It should be noted that You Yang and his group were traveling in the most prestigious VIP compartment of this train, which was reserved directly by Tian Dao Lian using his family connections.

If something were to happen to any of the important figures inside, even ten heads wouldn't be enough to compensate for the loss of those responsible for security.

Inside the private room, You Yang casually stuffed the [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast] into his pocket, then calmly straightened his slightly wrinkled collar and patted off non-existent dust from his clothes.

He took a deep breath, composed his expression, and calmly walked over to slowly open the tightly closed door of the private room.

"Click".

As the door unlocked, faces filled with anxiety and tension immediately came into view.

Behind the group of railway police officers, two familiar figures were struggling to push through the crowd.

"You Yang! Are you alright?!"

Tiandao Lian practically burst in; his usually composed face was now filled with undisguised anxiety.

His gaze swept quickly around the private room. When he saw that Lilith and the others were safe and sound, and that You Yang had no obvious injuries, his heart finally settled back into his stomach, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Phew...that scared me to death, I thought..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jord Rosen grinned, patted Tendou Ren on the shoulder in a hearty manner, and let out a cheerful laugh:

"Haha, I told you it's nothing, why are you worrying so much?"

"This kid..."

He pointed at You Yang, his tone carrying an almost blind confidence and fanaticism.

"He's a man who can even defeat 'gods' head-on!"

"What can a few petty thieves do to him?"

His seemingly nonsensical yet forceful remark drew stares from the already tense flight attendants, who looked at the group with strange expressions, as if they were looking at a madman or listening to gibberish.

A man who defeated the gods?

What does it mean?

Are young people these days suffering from such severe chuunibyou (middle school syndrome)?

Or is this some kind of code we can't understand?

"It's alright, it's nothing. We were just having a little card game practice over there, and we made a bit too much noise."

You Yang shook his head helplessly, made up a reason, and then waved to the flight attendant, indicating that they could leave.

"Let them disperse, stop crowding here."

After saying that, he gave Tendou Ren and Jord Rosen a look, signaling them to come in and talk.

Then, he closed the heavy door again, shutting out the inquiring and curious gazes from the outside world, as well as the noise in the corridor.

You Yang bent down and picked up all the remaining cards scattered on the ground, then rearranged the deck.

Half a minute later, the door was gently turned open again, and Tendou Ren and Jord Rosen, who had dismissed the train police, walked in with serious expressions.

By this time, it had returned to quiet outside, and the flight attendants wisely refrained from disturbing them further.

After all, as long as the people inside are safe, that's the best news.

As for the affairs of these important figures, that's not something they can meddle in.

After everyone was seated in the cramped yet luxurious private room, You Yang took a sip of water and gave a brief but detailed account of the attack and Ken Ford's use of the "True Dragon Emperor" deck.

After listening to You Yang's story, Tian Dao Lian's expression instantly turned serious. He pushed up his glasses and frowned.

"【True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast】?"

"That guy...didn't he disappear for a long time?"

"I never expected that they would reappear at this critical juncture, and... they're coming straight for you."

You Yang keenly caught the information in his words and asked with a slightly puzzled expression:

"Judging from your tone, you seem to know this person?"

Is this Ken Ford quite famous in the Commonwealth?

Tiandao Lian gave a wry smile, helplessly shrugged, and then began to explain:

“You Yang, you need to know that the national conditions of the Free Federation and our Eastern Alliance are completely different.”

"The government of the Free Federation does not actually have the absolute control and influence that the Eastern Alliance does."

"Over there, capital and power are the true masters."

"Therefore, many thorny issues, including maintaining public order, are often resolved by the local top powers or powerful families."

"And this naturally includes the wanted and hunted-down campaign against the 'Dark Duelists'."

As she spoke, Tendou Ren pulled her phone out of her pocket and her fingers flew across the screen.

“Those dark duelists who have committed numerous evil deeds, whose incidents are heinous, or who have even caused significant casualties, will be included in a list jointly released by the top powers of the Free Federation and the official authorities—called the ‘Hunter List’.”

"As the name suggests, anyone who is on this list can be 'hunted' the moment they see them."

"This not only doesn't violate the law, but it can even earn an extremely generous reward."

"Generally speaking, the higher the ranking, the higher the bounty, and naturally the greater the danger."

"Therefore, there are quite a few professional elf duelists over there who make a living from this, and they are also known as 'bounty hunters'."

"but……"

Tiandao Lian paused, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.

"You don't need to have any good feelings towards these so-called 'hunters'."

"In most cases, this group of people are just a bunch of despicable scoundrels who will do anything for money, even double-crossing each other."

At this moment, Tiandao Lian had opened a special website with a dark background and a bloody interface.

He turned his phone screen towards You Yang and pointed to a blurry photo on it, saying:

"And this guy who possesses the [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast]..."

"He was once a terrifying figure, ranking third on this 'hunt list'!"

"His code name is—'Dark Dragon Emperor'!"

"At the time, his bounty was a whopping 60 million yuan!"

Sixty million?

Upon hearing this number, Chen Yuan, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but gasp.

You know, even if You Yang sold himself into servitude, he would only get ten million. This is a full six times that amount!

"However, he suddenly disappeared for a long time a few years ago, with no trace of him, neither alive nor dead."

Tiandao Lian shrugged and continued:

"Many of the forces that had grudges against him believed that he might have died in some unknown battle or been killed by someone stronger, so they gradually lifted the kill order against him."

"After all, it wouldn't be surprising if these dark duelists, who live on the edge of death, died silently in a roadside ditch at any time."

"So now, his bounty has been drastically reduced, to about 12 million."

"His ranking has naturally dropped significantly, and many people have almost forgotten about him."

"I see."

You Yang nodded thoughtfully.

So there was such a thing.

It seems that this so-called "Xu Yan Hui" has indeed recruited quite a few of these desperate criminals.

but……

You Yang's gaze fell on the [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast] in his hand.
