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

They even issued an order to "give way"?

"It actually made that 'high-ranking official' feel fear..."

Andromarius was deeply shocked, but this was followed by an even stronger sense of curiosity and excitement.

"You Yang... just how many secrets are you still hiding?"

"It makes me want to cut you open and take a look!"

Just as his thoughts were racing, the gaze of the person in the seat of honor suddenly swept over him.

"Andromalus".

The voice of the man in the mermaid mask fell like a heavy hammer:

"Don't think about those unnecessary things. How's the task I assigned you to do going?"

Upon hearing the question, Andromarius instantly abandoned all his nonchalance.

He sat up straight, his attitude becoming noticeably more respectful, and bowed his head.

Faced with the leader's imposing interrogation, Andromarius showed no sign of panic. He bowed slightly, his voice beneath the mask carrying an air of composed confidence:

"The progress is going very smoothly, and I have successfully made substantial contact with 'that person' in the virtual world."

At this point, his tone shifted, becoming more serious:

"However, a small, expected hiccup occurred during the process."

“There are some tricky things standing between us, and to ensure everything goes smoothly, I need to organize reinforcements to help me completely remove these obstacles.”

Hearing this, Fennes, who was standing to the side, seemed intrigued, leaned forward, and asked curiously:

"An obstacle? Could it be the legendary 'six'?"

Andro Marius nodded, his fingers tracing a line across the table: "Not only those six, but there's another guardian who's extremely troublesome."

"If we don't deal with it, the plan will be difficult to move forward."

"I see……"

The deep voice from the seat of honor rang out again, carrying a decisive, final tone:

"I understand. Since it's necessary cleanup work, I'll arrange for capable people to assist you later. Make sure it's done cleanly and efficiently."

The meeting then turned to tedious reports on experimental progress, which Andro Marius found uninteresting, listening listlessly.

After everyone finished their discussion and confirmed that no one was following them, Andro Marius walked out of the oppressive building with light steps and got into a black luxury car parked in the shadows.

The car doors closed, cutting off all outside sight.

"call--"

He let out a long sigh, his slender fingers gripping the edge of the mask as he slowly removed it.

As the cold mask fell off, a head of brilliant golden hair, as radiant as flowing honey, cascaded down.

The ends of her hair were slightly curled, seemingly casually falling around her ears, yet exuding a carefully styled, lazy, and elegant air.

It was a handsome face that could make countless girls scream.

Especially her pair of emerald green peach blossom eyes, which always seemed to hold a hint of a smile and a touch of affection as they shimmered.

"go home."

He casually gave an order, then, as if remembering something amusing, leaned back lazily in his leather seat and nonchalantly commanded the driver in front:

"By the way, use the family's intelligence network to help me find out all the information about this boy named 'You Yang'."

"Remember, I need as much detail as possible, even details like how many times he wet the bed when he was a child."

"Yes, Master Lucien Valentine."

The driver responded respectfully, and then the car engine emitted a low roar as it slowly drove into traffic.

Lucien turned his head, looking at the neon-lit night scene flashing past the window, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips.

"Youyang, Youyang... just who are you?"

"To be able to make those arrogant lunatics give you the run for their lives, I'm becoming more and more interested in you..."

As night deepened, the moon rose above the branches.

You Yang waited in the room until late at night before he finally heard familiar footsteps outside the door.

The door opened, and Chen Yuan, Chen Yuexi, and Ling Shiqing filed in.

Although they were trying their best to hide it, You Yang still keenly caught the barely concealed weariness on their faces.

"You Yang! You're awake!"

Upon seeing You Yang sitting on the sofa, Chen Yuexi's previously dim eyes instantly brightened, and Chen Yuan's tightly furrowed brows relaxed considerably. The two quickly walked forward, their faces beaming with joy.

Ling Shiqing, who was following at the back, instinctively shrank back when she saw You Yang, her face still showing a hint of timid fear.

After hesitating for a moment, she obediently moved closer, like a small animal that instinctively recognizes a scent, afraid yet knowing that the person in front of her meant no harm.

You Yang glanced at the girl who always relied on intuition to recognize people with amusement, but ignored her for the time being and turned his attention to Chen Yuexi.

Seeing that her complexion was still as pale as before she set off, with no signs of improvement, You Yang had already guessed what was going on, so he asked curiously:

Why the long face? Didn't you find them?

Hearing this, Chen Yuan sighed in frustration and nodded dejectedly.

"We were a step too late. Just as we were about to arrive, Miss Luna had already been asked to leave by someone else."

Upon hearing this, You Yang's brows furrowed slightly.

He had indeed heard Xie Wan'an mention it before; as a person with special elven powers, Luna was a very busy person in the Free Federation, and various forces wanted to win her over.

But he never expected that the other party would be so busy that even meeting them required queuing up to "intercept" them.

"It's nothing, it's just a matter of waiting a little longer."

Compared to Chen Yuan's anxiety, Chen Yuexi, the person involved, appeared quite open-minded. She sat beside You Yang and softly comforted him:

"Anyway, we have plenty of time. I know my own body, and nothing serious will happen for the time being. It's you who are too nervous, brother."

Actually, she didn't think there was any need to rush, but Chen Yuan was so worried about his sister and always feared that things might go wrong if he delayed. Thinking that the sooner the treatment started, the more at ease she would feel, she finally agreed to today's itinerary.

"Let's not talk about me, what about you?"

Chen Yuexi turned her head and looked You Yang up and down, her eyes full of concern: "You've been sleeping for so long, is there anything wrong with your body?"

At least from the outside, she could not see anything wrong with You Yang, but his previous coma was too sudden.

You Yang smiled and shook his head, stretching his shoulders to indicate that he was fine: "Don't worry, I'm fully recovered and have a good appetite."

Just as the four of them were chatting in the living room, there was another gentle knock on the door.

The door was pushed open, and Lilith appeared in the doorway.

The moment she saw You Yang, this usually haughty young lady didn't hesitate at all. She quickly walked up to You Yang, bowed deeply, and her tone was filled with sincere remorse:

"You Yang... I'm sorry."

Looking at the girl in front of him who was almost burying her head in her chest, You Yang was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly.

He never had any ill feelings towards Lilith; in fact, after the battle at the "Heart's Realm," he felt even more grateful to her.

The battle situation was incredibly dangerous at the time. In that illusory world of his mind, faced with that tempting offer, if Lilith hadn't forcibly intervened...

You Yang asked himself honestly, and he wondered if he might have lost himself in that moment and agreed to the other party's terms.

After all, as an outsider, he had always been quite confused.

He didn't know what he should pursue in this world, nor did he know where his final destination was.

It was Lilith's intervention that brought him back to his senses from that illusory temptation.

"Alright, stop bowing. If you keep bowing, you'll be kowtowing."

You Yang waved his hand and said gently, "I'm not blaming you. On the contrary... I should thank you."

Chapter 237 The Mysterious Twin Thieves and the Stolen Museum!

Looking at Lilith's face full of guilt, You Yang knew perfectly well what was going on.

He knew perfectly well that the girl was apologizing for Kelos's reckless behavior.

Vivian had come by once while waiting for Chen Yuan and the others to return, and her words revealed a sense of helplessness.

When Lilith returned and heard that Kairos had caused trouble for You Yang, she immediately flew into a rage and even ran over to give the genius inventor a good scolding, disregarding her image.

Thinking of this, You Yang's gaze towards Lilith softened a bit.

He didn't have any ill feelings towards Lilith to begin with. On the contrary, after the battle in the "Heart's Realm," he even felt a bit of gratitude towards this seemingly spoiled young lady.

"Alright, let's put this behind us."

You Yang smiled and handed Lilith a cup of hot tea, then subtly changed the subject, looking at everyone and asking:

"Speaking of which, seeing how exhausted you all are, what did you do today?"

You Yang had casually asked Vivian this question before, but Vivian's personality was always "do it without asking questions." She would just do whatever she was told and never inquire about any extra background information, so he knew nothing about it either.

"Phew... Don't even mention it, I'm going to be a bodyguard doing manual labor."

Lily slumped on the sofa without any regard for her image, took a sip of tea, and her delicate face was filled with undisguised fatigue.

Seeing the curious glances cast at her by You Yang, Chen Yuan, and the others, Lilith sighed, put down her teacup, and began to recount the whole story:

"As you all know, as a large family alliance with a history of over a hundred years, the 'Celestial Arbitrators' not only manages academies and industries, but also many large museums."

“Those museums not only display priceless antiques and paintings, but also, in the core exhibition area, enshrine some rare cards that are difficult to use in actual combat, but are extremely rare and few in existence.”

At this point, Lilith's brow furrowed slightly, her tone revealing a hint of confusion and annoyance:

"I don't know why, but recently these heavily guarded museums have been frequently robbed."

"What's strange is that the disappearances of both antiques and cards were completely random, and the subsequent investigation was even more bizarre—no trace of human damage could be found at the scene."

There wasn't even a trace of lock picking, blasting, or hacking.

"The only clue is the two cards left by the thief in the empty display case."
