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

Since the other party was essentially delivering the "delivery" to his door, he felt even more justified in accepting this powerful card.

However, Lilith was utterly astonished. Her beautiful eyes were filled with confusion, and her voice trembled slightly as she spoke to Tiandao Lian:

"How come I didn't know about this?"

"You're not old enough to apply, but I've already processed your application in advance."

For once, a hint of helplessness appeared on Tendou Ren's usually calm face. He avoided Lilith's gaze and quickly explained.

"Otherwise, where do you think the money you used to buy those cards came from?"

"I can't afford to pay hundreds of millions or tens of millions."

Lilith's beautiful eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and she glared angrily at Tiandao Lian, her petite body trembling slightly with rage.

She always thought that the astronomical card fees were all generously paid by Tiandao Lian out of consideration for their relationship, which is why she always remembered his kindness and had the best relationship with him.

After all, she understood the principle that "one who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding, and one who takes another's money is bound to do his bidding."

Now I realize that the reason Tiandao Lian was so generous and open about her feelings was because it was money that belonged entirely to her!

That guy is really annoying!

Ignoring Lilith's almost fiery glare, Tendou Ren silently opened his phone and began searching for other messages.

"As for the 'seventy-third seat' that person mentioned..."

"No relevant clues have been found so far."

"The same goes for 'empty meeting'."

"We can only find some information that is of uncertain authenticity."

Tiandao Lian paused, his tone slightly strange.

"For example, some people say that their goal is to break the connection between the real world and the elven world and create a world where the two can coexist peacefully."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Ling Shiqing, who was quietly clinging to You Yang, and a chill ran down their spines.

Please, evil villains, stop spreading these heartwarming and positive rumors.

Chapter 193 The Vanished Pot of Greed, A Familiar Method!

It can really make people feel nauseous and vomit.

After exchanging opinions, Tendou Ren led Lilith and Jord Rosen away from their room.

Before leaving, Jord Rosen's excited face was still full of lingering desire. He challenged You Yang to a duel, wanting to fight him again in a while, and You Yang agreed.

You Yang then began to organize the loot cards he had just acquired.

He first looked at the [True Dragon Emperor - Law King Beast] card.

There's not much to say about the True Dragon deck. It's essentially a "sticker deck" that mainly uses Spell & Trap cards.

It doesn't rely much on the Extra Deck, and summoning the Primal King Beast is actually quite difficult for it.

Instead of forcibly adding the King Beast, it would be better to add some sticker cards and play a sticker-based deck.

He did have some stickers in his hand, spoils he had obtained from fighting the Golden Demon and the Golden Kingdom.

However, the sticker cards he has are not very suitable for the True Dragon deck, so it seems he will have to look for some.

However, he had already spent almost all his money in Tian Shu City before he even set off.

Looks like I'll have to collect the bounty first.

Then You Yang turned his attention to the other three cards.

One of them was taken from Ken Ford's grave.

It should be that "Pot of Greed".

However, at this point, the card art no longer featured the greedy face of Pot of Greed; instead, it retained the framework of a magic card, with the images and text inside completely gone.

The card was cold and blank, much like the methods of an evil god, but not quite the same.

We can only wait and see if we can find any clues in the future.

"You Yang, come quick! The verdicts for Mayor Ling and Old Mo have been handed down."

Hearing Chen Yuan's slightly anxious voice, You Yang put away the cards and came to Chen Yuan's side.

On Chen Yuan's phone screen was an official document.

After investigation and interrogation, Ling Zhiyong and Mo Tieshan confessed to their crimes.

The following punishment is hereby imposed: Ling Zhiyong is stripped of his mayoral position, deprived of his political rights for life, and will be sent to the front lines for combat.

Mo Tieshan was stripped of all honors and imprisoned for life.

You Yang immediately saw through the trick.

It sounds serious, but there's actually no real punishment.

Ling Zhiyong was merely moved from a high position to a different place to continue contributing his remaining energy, while Mo Tieshan's life imprisonment was essentially a punishment in name only in this turbulent world.

This is probably also related to the fact that the two did not cause any substantial damage and that the people behind Ling Zhiyong intervened.

The duelists that Mo Tieshan used for his experiments were actually duelists with questionable backgrounds or outsiders.

However, all their property was confiscated and used to contribute to the reconstruction of Tian Shu City.

The announcement also mentioned him—the "unsung hero" who saved Tian Shu City.

The article was full of praise, claiming that the League would do everything in its power to find the hero and then bestow upon him the most generous rewards and honors.

You Yang merely glanced at the official commendation and decisively chose to ignore it, offering his sincere thanks.

You Yang silently returned to his bunk and took out his phone.

Just then, the train's public address system broadcast the announcer's sweet and standard voice:

"Next stop – Raleigh. Passengers at this station, please take your belongings and prepare to disembark."

You Yang's fingers tapped rapidly on the screen, sending out a pre-edited message to let everyone know he was safe.

Then, he stood up and gently patted Ling Shiqing, who was hugging her pillow in the upper bunk. "Wake up, we should get off the train."

Ling Shiqing rubbed her sleepy eyes and sat up groggily, her long, silvery-white hair draped messily over her shoulders.

She looked at You Yang, nodded obediently, and then climbed off the bed.

After spending these past few days together, You Yang could clearly feel that Ling Shiqing's mind was growing at an astonishing rate.

Although she still didn't talk much and always followed him quietly, You Yang was too lazy to investigate further.

After all, he was only temporarily taking care of Ling Shiqing at Ling Shiyao's request, and he didn't really become her full-time guardian.

As long as her safety is guaranteed, that's fine. If she doesn't want to talk, so be it; it's less of a worry.

On the other side, Chen Yuan and his sister quickly packed their simple belongings. As the train slowly pulled into the station and came to a stop, everyone immediately followed the flow of people off the train.

On the platform, You Yang and Tian Dao Lian briefly explained the situation before heading to the Duelist Guild, which was closest to the station.

However, due to Lilith's strong insistence, and because Tendou Ren himself had some personal matters to attend to—plus, this was now the Free Federation, which meant they were on their territory.

Tian Dao Lian no longer needs to be as restrained and cautious as she was in Tian Shu City when she does things.

After a moment of hesitation, Tiandao Lian nodded and agreed to let Lilith take Youyang and the others to the guild first.

Chen Yuan and Chen Yuexi naturally followed You Yang closely.

Their purpose in coming to Raleigh City this time, besides temporarily escaping the storm back home, was also to seek treatment from the legendary "elf healer"—Luna.

Although the five sealed cards returned to Chen Yuexi's hands, the energy backlash within her body caused by her forcibly breaking the restrictions set by Luna in her grief and anger had recurred.

Although her health will gradually improve with proper care, that would be far too slow for Chen Yuexi at her current stage.

Now that she knows who the murderer of her family is, Chen Yuexi is eager to take revenge immediately. How could she be willing to lie in the hospital bed for so long?

However, money is essential to get Luna to help.

Although Chen Yuexi had earned some money from the security contract with Xie Wan'an, in this expensive foreign country, the amount of money in her pocket was really tight and not enough.

As for troubling Tiandaolian... You Yang, who is regarded as a "divine messenger" by the people of Tiandaolian, did not use their money, so the brother and sister were even more embarrassed to ask.

Moreover, they really have no obligation to sponsor them.

"This way, this way, follow me!"

Lilith, like a dutiful little tour guide, waved her arms and led the four of them forward.

As You Yang walked, he discreetly observed his surroundings.

He discovered that the architectural style of Raleigh City was not much different from that of Sky City; both were modern cities filled with steel and neon lights.

However, people are indeed very different.

If the majority of people in Tian Shu City are black-haired, black-eyed Easterners, then the majority of people in Raleigh City are blond-haired, blue-eyed Westerners.

Therefore, when You Yang and his group of people with Asian features followed behind a blonde little girl wearing a Gothic Lolita dress, they attracted many curious and inquisitive glances from passersby.

"This is it!"

Finally, Lilith stopped and led the four of them to stand in front of a magnificent building that soared into the clouds.

Following Lilith's fair fingers, You Yang couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Even in downtown Raleigh, surrounded by skyscrapers, this behemoth stands out conspicuously and imposingly.

It resembles a black heavy sword forcibly plunged into the earth by a god, its entire body composed of a dark special metal that can absorb light and a one-way glass curtain wall, exuding a cold and murderous aura.

At the "waist" of the building, dozens of meters above the ground, hangs a huge circular holographic projection screen.

Instead of typical commercials, the screen continuously displayed huge, bright red bounty figures, along with photos of wanted posters featuring cold-faced, fierce-looking men.

"This is... the union here?"

Chen Yuan tilted his head back, gazing at the dizzying height, his Adam's apple bobbing nervously.

This architectural style, which forcibly blends modern high technology with a brutal aesthetic of violence, does indeed create a strange and heavy psychological pressure.

"Let's go, this is the largest union in all of Raleigh!"

Lilith proudly raised her chin, her golden twin tails swung gracefully behind her, and she took the lead with light steps toward the door.
