Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 487

Chapter 487: Chapter 486: Wagering the Academy

Kurozaki stared a little blankly at the new boss in front of him, feeling for a moment that this was beyond absurd.

A madman.

This guy is definitely a madman.

Of course, he only dared think that in his heart, not say it aloud. He kept his voice carefully lowered. "So, boss, what are we doing now—"

"Oh, you head back first. Remember to sniff around about ’Alchemy Stars.’" Kira said offhandedly. "Give me all the intel you gather."

"Okay, will do."

Kurozaki nodded, then couldn’t help asking:

"And you?"

"I won’t go back just yet." Kira smiled. "I’ve got a few loose ends to tie up." 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

...

....

The moon hid behind thick clouds, stingy with a single drop of light. Wind laced with bone-deep chill threaded through the narrow alleys, groaning like a wounded beast.

The stall owner bolted down the lane for his life, glancing over his shoulder now and then as if fleeing something unspeakably terrifying.

He ran until he was gasping, legs too heavy to take even one step more. He stopped, braced a hand against the wall, and panted hard. Sweat tinged with fear slid down his pale cheeks and dripped to the ground, swallowed at once by the night.

He cautiously peered back the way he came, only to see no one for a long stretch—just darkness pooled in the pitch-black alley.

"Didn’t chase me...?"

The taut string in his heart finally loosened. He steadied his breath and slowly turned his head back—

—and almost screamed on the spot at what he saw.

Him.

The man in white, real face hidden behind dark-tinted glass, his coat flaring like a cloak in the icy wind, stood there calm as you please.

Revolver!

"Jasper Abis—that’s your name, right?" Kira said evenly. "I just took a quick look at your resume. Quite a dazzling list.

Originally an underground duelist in New York, joined a local dueling gang. After a turf war you drifted through several countries. Participated in sixteen human trafficking cases big and small. Your research into using dark duels for soul enslavement is quite advanced..."

He finished reading the sheet in his hand and looked up at the man before him.

"Truly a talent."

Jasper ground his teeth. "I have no quarrel with you or your Knights of Hanoi. Revolver, why are you hounding me!?"

"Oh? And those you sealed into cards and sold—did you all have deep blood feuds with them?"

"It was just business," Jasper said. "That’s how the world works. It’s not like I’m the only one doing it."

"True, true. That’s how it is."

Kira nodded, unfolding his Duel Disk without hurry.

"So I thought it over carefully. A dark duelist like you with such... specialized skills is worth far more than grabbing some old, weak, and women and children. If I make you into a card, I bet it’d sell nicely. Or I could keep you as a dueling slave in our Knights of Hanoi. That’s not bad either."

Kira mimicked his tone with a mocking lilt.

"And by the way, this is just business too. Nothing personal. That’s how the world works. It’s not like I’m the only one doing it. Don’t take it to heart."

"You—"

Jasper exploded.

"Revolver, don’t push me too far! You think I’m afraid of you!?"

He snapped his Duel Disk open.

Kira smiled and opened his as well. "I was afraid you wouldn’t ask."
