A duelist never gives up!

There must be some hidden secret here.

Before knowing the specific situation, Yuan Qi decided to investigate according to his own methods. However, although he was very strong in dueling, he really didn't have any resources in the royal capital, so...

"I received an invitation from Mr. Avis to come here for an internship." Yuan Qi said to the waiter at the front desk with a smile on his face.

"You...are you contestant Yuan Qi?!" The waiter looked at Yuan Qi's handsome face and couldn't help but said in surprise.

This shout immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. A group of people stared at Yuan Qi as if they were looking at some peerless beauty.

"It's me." Yuan Qi said helplessly, feeling the gazes focused on him.

"Wait a moment, I'll contact Lord Avis right away. You can wait in the rest area over there. Feel free to enjoy the fruits and drinks on the table." The waiter suppressed his excitement and started doing his job.

"It's okay, I'll just wait here for a while." Yuan Qi glanced at the duelists with green light in the rest area, curled his lips, and rejected the staff's kindness.

At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded, and a middle-aged blond man walked down the stairs from the second floor. He scanned the entire hall with his blue eyes, and then his gaze stopped on Yuan Qi.

"Are you Yuan Qi?" the middle-aged man said in a deep voice.

"Yes, it's me." Yuan Qi felt that this conversation seemed to have been repeated countless times. How about he wear a white short-sleeved shirt tomorrow and write the four big words "I am Yuan Qi" on it with ink?

But I feel like that would cause more trouble.

"I'm Richard Richard Heck."

This was the man's first sentence, and he quickly followed it up with the second sentence:

"Come be my son!"

Chapter 11: Are you talking about this?

"squeak--"

The office door was gently pushed open, and the man named Miao Yan walked into the office with his head drooping. He first sat down on the sofa, then crossed his legs and looked at the owner of the room and said, "So, what do you want me to do?"

"There's a result for your request." Avis said calmly, looking at the green-haired young man in front of him.

"What's the result?" Miao Yan asked with raised eyebrows.

"Rejected." Avis said calmly, "Hand him over, and the Alliance will not pursue your previous actions."

"Haha, I don't understand what you're saying." Miao Yan grinned and sneered, "I've already said it, the suspect attacked my team members and escaped while I was escorting them."

"This matter is more serious than you think. Don't even think about bargaining with the alliance." Avis looked at Miao Yan calmly.

"If it's not serious, how could the alliance agree to my request?" Miao Yan leaned back on the sofa with his head raised and said indifferently.

"The person is still with you." Avis said suddenly.

"Wrong, the person is not with me, but if the alliance gives me what I want, the person can be with me." Miao Yan raised his finger and shook it.

"Don't play with fire. I don't want to lose a senior investigator." Avis said in a deep voice, "You don't know what that suspect represents."

"But I know she is very important." Miao Yan picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

Avis frowned, but finally said with a slight reassurance: "The allocation of quotas has long been fixed, but I can try to give you my quota."

"Then you'd better hurry up." Miao Yan slowly stood up, patted his sleeves and said, "Oh, right... don't try to use violence against me."

"The Duelist Alliance isn't the only one dominating the capital."

With that, Miao Yan waved his hand and left the office.

Avis looked at the locked door expressionlessly, not knowing what he was thinking.

At the same time, the phone in the office began to ring.

"Jingle Bell!"

……

In the lobby on the first floor, Yuan Qi looked at the blond man in front of him and couldn't help but curl his lips. How could someone want to recognize his son as soon as he met him? You also have a white beard?

"I refuse." Yuan Qi refused bluntly, "I have no intention of recognizing a stranger as my father."

"But if you marry my daughter, we will no longer be strangers." Richard said, putting his strong arms around Yuan Qi's shoulders and smiling.

"Wow, looking for a son-in-law." Ai sneered, "Qi, you are really popular."

"I have no plans to marry your daughter either." Yuan Qi said helplessly with drooping eyelids.

"How about you take a look at these photos first?" Richard took out a few photos from somewhere with his right hand and placed them in front of Yuan Qi.

The photo showed a blonde woman with pearly white skin. From a worldly perspective, she was indeed a beautiful lady, but...

"Isn't this the golden-haired drowned rat from earlier?" Ai looked at the woman in the photo and said with some surprise, "What a coincidence."

"I'm afraid it's not a coincidence." Yuan Qi raised his eyebrows and said to Richard beside him, "Excuse me, I once met someone who looked very similar to the lady in this photo before I came here, but her last name was Ainoer."

"Yes, the one you saw before was my daughter, except that she took her mother's last name." Richard admitted frankly, "And she just brought this up to me."

"Huh?" Yuan Qi was even more confused. "Why? You can't possibly fall in love with me just because you duelled with me, right?"

"Because you are strong enough and young enough." Richard said as a matter of course, "In that case, what is there to hesitate about?"

"You mean, she wants to marry me just because I'm strong in dueling?" Yuan Qi suddenly found it unreasonable. Is that woman crazy?

"Why add the word 'just'?" Richard looked at Yuan Qi in confusion. "Isn't it enough to be strong duelists? Don't worry, although Joanna's current strength hasn't reached your level, if she's given another year or two, she will definitely become a powerful duelist!"

Yuan Qi felt that his three views were shocked. He realized that the Joanna in Richard's photo was not some kind of daily life photo, but a photo of her winning championships in various duel competitions.

"I think when getting married, you should find someone who shares the same feelings with you, rather than someone who is very strong in dueling." Yuan Qi said as he broke free from Richard's arm.

"You're so weird." Richard looked at Yuan in confusion.

It's you who's weird, isn't it?

"Well, in that case, let's duel." Richard stretched out his left arm, and a black duel disk appeared on his arm. "If you lose, you must marry my daughter. If I lose, I will grant you any wish!"

Yuan Qi was stunned as he watched Richard take out his duel disk. He felt a headache coming on. "You two really are cut from the same cloth. I refuse this duel. I don't want to marry your daughter, and I don't think you can fulfill my wish."

"If it were more than half a month ago, I really couldn't guarantee that I could fulfill your wish." Richard said lightly, "After all, you even rejected the invitations of the Queen and that guy Avis. I'm afraid that other than the Duel King, nothing else can attract you at all?"

"But things are different now." Richard said with a hint of a smile on his face, "You took the initiative to come to the Duelist Alliance headquarters."

"Do you know what this means?"

Richard's voice deepened as he said, "This means you have a need."

"What do you need the Duelist Alliance to help you achieve?"

Yuan Qi's pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart sank. Could it be that his purpose was...

"As a senior investigator of the Duelist Alliance and the head of the Ainoer family, I can undoubtedly help you achieve this goal," Richard said patiently. "For example... a spot in next year's Land of Origin."

Yuan Qi was slightly stunned, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but his expression couldn't help but become strange: "Hasn't the capital received the news?"

"What news?" Richard didn't understand what Yuan Qi was saying for a moment.

"Stop harassing my team members." A cold voice sounded, and Avis, dressed in a black uniform and a fiery red shawl, slowly walked down the stairs. "He doesn't need your help."

"No need?" Richard sneered. Others were afraid of Avis, but he wasn't. "The league has already allocated next year's quota, right? Can you still give him your quota? Even if you are willing, your family won't agree, right?"

"He doesn't need my help either." Avis said calmly, "He already has a spot in the Starting Land."

As if to verify Avis's words, Yuan Qi shrugged, took out a golden card from his pocket, shook it in front of Richard and said, "Are you talking about this?"

Chapter 12: They even slacked off during their three-hour work

For a moment, Richard's old face looked like an eggplant hit by frost, and his whole body froze in place.

"Where did you get the quota?!" Richard became suspicious the first time he realized what was happening.

The initial land is divided up by the major forces every year. After the distribution, even the alliance does not have many places. The place Richard is going to promise to the original seven is actually his own.

"The Duelist Academy gave me a place." Yuan Qiman replied logically.

"I remember that the places in the Duelist Academy are only for teachers." Richard narrowed his eyes.

"He gained the recognition of the 12 preselected candidates, or rather..." Avis came to Yuan Qi and looked at Yuan Qi with admiration, "He defeated 12 teachers of the Duelist Academy in a duel, including the dean of the Duelist Academy."

"You are stronger than before." Avis looked at Yuan Qidao with a smile.

"I feel like I'm no different than before." Yuan Qi shook his head. His dueling skills had already reached their peak. Everyone thought he became stronger too quickly just because he switched to a more powerful deck.

Richard, standing by, finally realized he had misunderstood. However, he wasn't about to give up. "So, what's your purpose in coming to the Duelist Alliance? You don't need powerful cards, nor do you need a spot in the Starting Land. What else do you need here?"

Yuan Qi rolled his eyes inwardly. Why would I tell him what my purpose was? But he put on a polite smile. "I simply thought about it and decided to follow Mr. Avis's advice and develop my career in the Duelist Alliance. As for my purpose, does serving the people count?"

Richard choked, but then realized he was too impatient. Why would Yuan Qi reveal his purpose in such a public place? He'd have to find a more private place next time.

Thinking of this, Richard took a step and left without saying a word.

"very good."

Avis looked at Yuan Qi and nodded with satisfaction.

He likes young people like this, who are strong and have few demands. If it weren't for Yuan Qi's lack of qualifications, he would have wanted to kick Miao Yan out and let Yuan Qi become a senior investigator.

But for now...

Avis walked towards Yuan Qi and personally placed the fiery red cape he had prepared on Yuan Qi's shoulders. He said, "Now, you are a member of the Alliance Special Operations Team. According to our previous agreement, you will have the same treatment as me. However, in terms of authority, you will only be given the authority of an ordinary investigator for the time being."

"No problem." Yuan Qi nodded, but he felt that the shawl was too fancy.

"I'll prepare it for you after you subdue him. This is for you first." Avis handed a belt to Yuan Qidao.

"what is this?"

"Forced duel device." Avis explained while holding the belt. "When you face a criminal who wants to escape, you can press the button in the center of the belt. A capture device will be ejected from the belt, restraining the criminal and forcing him to duel with you."

"..."

Yuan Qi looked at the belt in Avis's hand and opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

You have already caught the other party, why are you still fighting? Just take him away.

Oh, duel supremacy, that's fine.

"One more thing." As if to express his respect for Yuan Qi, Avis looked at Yuan Qi seriously and said, "If you want a place in the Starting Land, I will help you get it no matter what."

"Because I'm very strong in dueling and have great potential?" Yuan Qi sighed.

"How is that possible?" Avis looked at Yuan Qidao, "Because you are a hero who saved the world."

Yuan Qi stared at Avis in a daze, but not because of anything else.

It was because Avis's words were too normal, so they sounded strange to him.

"What is the job of the special operations team?" Yuan Qi asked again.

"We do everything," Avis explained. "The special operations team doesn't have a fixed mission. We're only dispatched when there's something difficult that other teams can't handle."

"For example, the previous operation to encircle and suppress the Anti-Duelers Alliance was led by our special operations team."

As Avis spoke, he led Yuan Qi to a door and said, "Inside is our group's general office, but there haven't been any missions recently, so there shouldn't be anyone here right now."

As he spoke, Avis pushed open the door and saw that the room was pitch black and even the lights were not on.

Avis patted Yuan Qi's shoulder with an air of knowing what he was talking about. "If you don't have any missions, just come to the office for three hours a day. You can get used to the environment first. If you need anything, you can call the service desk and they will arrange it."

After saying that, Avis said that he still had work to do and left in a hurry.

"Three hours on duty every day?" Yuan Qi looked at the dark room in front of him, and it felt like ten thousand sheep were running through his heart.

No, civil servants don’t enjoy this much, right?

Is it really okay for you to be so corrupt?

Yuan Qi walked into the office while complaining. After groping on the wall for a while, he finally found a switch.

"Clap!"

For a moment, bright and soft light filled the entire room.

The room was about the size of a living room and a half. In the center of the room was a huge round table, on which were placed a pile of paper documents, snacks, drinks, magazines, and even... loose cards and card mats.

That’s right, this group of people may even be slacking off during the short three-hour work period.

Yuan Qi pushed aside the randomly placed mobile chair and walked to the desk, where he was quickly attracted by a file.
