Bekas took another sip of hot tea unhurriedly, and said with a smile, "If I can eat dessert, it might speed up my progress bar for distributing bonuses~"
Hoshino couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth, gritted his teeth and said, "I can't see the progress bar for distributing bonuses, but the progress bar for your death seems to be almost full..."
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect Hoshino girl to be so humorless." Bekas laughed awkwardly, and Bekas believed that Hoshino really had the ability to fill up his progress bar.
"So to be honest, do you know why I didn't hand over the bounty to you, Hoshino girl?"
"Isn't it because you are too stingy, and you are unhappy after being defeated by me?"
Bekas smiled and shook his head: "The reason why I didn't give you the bounty of the King of Duelists, Hoshino girl, was because I was worried that you would become proud and complacent when you became the queen of duels at a young age, and live a luxurious life with a large bounty. life, wasting that rare dueling talent."
"Hmm..." Hoshino paused, even if Bekas didn't have the eyes of a thousand years, he was too accurate in seeing people.Under the circumstances at that time, if Hoshino had a lot of money in his hands, he would have already started to waste people's lives.
"But you are different now, Hoshino girl. You perfectly interpreted to the world, and also proved to me, what is the strongest duelist king. Your strength will become the target of duelists all over the world, and I want to It is precisely such a powerful goal that is needed to push Duel Monsters to another level in the world."
Bekas praised unceremoniously, and Hoshino was a little embarrassed when he said it.Becoming the dueling king respected by the world, I would never have dared to imagine myself a year ago.
"So, am I eligible to get that bounty now?"
This was definitely a surprise for Hoshino. Even if he didn't return to the original world, he could rely on the bounty to live a life without worrying about food and drink.
Work?It is impossible to work.
"Of course, this bounty belongs to you, Hoshino girl, from the very beginning. I just kept it for you for a while."
Bekas narrowed his only remaining eye, nodded in satisfaction, and then added.
"Then, during the period of custody, I kindly helped Hoshino girl to make an investment, using my precise businessman's vision!"
"Oh? What kind of investment, is it very profitable?"
Knowing that the bounty would be handed over to him, Hoshino finally felt relieved, and took a sip of the green tea made by the old man Shuangliu himself.
For the vision of Bekas Investment, although it cannot be said to be completely trustworthy, it is certainly not bad.After all, if a business empire such as the International Mirage Society was established single-handedly, it is impossible to make a difference in this kind of financial management.
"I exchanged all the rewards for shares of Haima Entertainment Group."
"Pfft!" Before the tea in his mouth could be swallowed, Hoshino gave Bekas a face wash with green tea mixed with saliva.
"Cough cough cough! All of them were exchanged for shares of Haima Entertainment Group, why?"
Calmly took out a handkerchief and wiped the tea on his face, Bekas continued to explain: "It happened a few days ago, because the Doma organization mobilized the market economy's hostile takeover, which diluted the equity in Seto Kaiba's hands, resulting in Haima Group is on the verge of bankruptcy."
Hoshino recalled for a while, it seemed that there was such a thing, the bankrupt Haima was killed in a plane crash at that time.
"However, when the three of you, Hoshino girl, Game boy, and Haima boy joined hands to defeat the leader of Doma, Darzi, the leaderless organization Doma also collapsed. At the same time as a large number of shares of the Haima Group flowed out, the International Illusion Society also helped a large number of purchases. With the transfer, Seto Kaiba was re-elected as the president. Of course, most of the funds used for the stock purchases came from Hoshino girl, the bounty you received from the champion of the Duelist Kingdom~"
Hoshino can be regarded as a clear understanding, Bekas's so-called investment is to use Hoshino's money to sell Haima as a favor.
After working so hard to fight so many duels, he finally became the king of duelists.First, part of the bounty was used to heal the eyes of the younger sister in the city, and now the rest is used to help Haima acquire and retake the company.
Dare to feel that the fruits of one's own struggle have all become other people's wedding dresses in the end.
"Hoshino girl, don't be angry..." Seeing Hoshino's displeased expression about to erupt, Bekas quickly comforted him: "As I said just now, it is an investment. And if it is used properly, even You can double the amount of the bounty."
"Oh? How about a doubling method? Don't tell me, I will go to Haima myself to ask for dividends from the company's profits?"
Seeing that Hoshino's expression was slightly calm, Bekas breathed a sigh of relief.
"Because Haima Group was on the verge of bankruptcy at that time, the stock price was extremely low. After a large number of acquisitions, as long as the Haima Group's stock price returns to a normal value, it is a business with no loss! But..."
Bekas, who hesitated to speak, obviously misread this time: "However, the stock price of Haima Group has not shown any trend of recovery recently, but it is lower than when it was bought."
"Why? After a big project like Seahorse Paradise is opened to the outside world, the stock price should soar, right?"
Hoshino looked puzzled. Although he didn't know much about financial investment, he could still see the basic market trend.
"According to my investigation, the Haima Group was secretly targeted by a rival group. Zieg Lloyd, a genius boy who was as famous as Haima Boy, once also provided the International Illusion Society with a "virtual image system" cooperation plan, but But he was a step behind Haima Boy."
"Zig..." made Hoshino a little familiar with the name, but the connection should not be great.
"The company of Ziggy Boy does not seem to give up on the virtual imaging system market. At a lower price, virtual imaging system devices from informal channels have been sold in the European and American markets. Forces, using duel monster cards to conduct underground gambling activities that are not subject to the law and involve a lot of money."
"Using Duel Monster Cards to gamble underground?" Hoshino suddenly realized after lowering his chin with his fingers and imagining it.
"It's the kind of match similar to an underground boxing hall. A group of onlookers bet on the two boxers on the field. Now that boxing is replaced by a card game, it may be more appropriate to call it an underground card shop." Woolen cloth."
Bekas nodded, and said seriously: "Hoshino girl, you understand really quickly. When the International Illusion Club released duel monster cards, in order to avoid this situation, any money gambling activities related to duels were strictly prohibited.
But in this world, where there is money, there will be darkness caused by money.In order to satisfy the desires of some people, especially those European nobles and business tycoons who are addicted to gambling.They will pay a fortune to see the duelists they buy win in a dimly lit ring.
And according to some information, in order to further stimulate the distorted enthusiasm of the audience.Before the duelists participate in the underground duel, they will be equipped with a special electric shock device by the organizer.As the health decreases, the current will gradually increase until the duelist is paralyzed or killed. "
After listening to Bekas's explanation, Hoshino slapped the table with both hands angrily: "How could this be so! Losing your life because of a duel is simply a dark game! No, it's the behavior of using life as a gimmick to stimulate gambling , It's even worse than the dark game!"
"That's right, Hoshino girl!" Bekas and Hoshino were equally indignant about this behavior.Not only because of the clear justice, but also because the dueling monster card like his own child was used to do that kind of thing.
"So I would like to ask you, Hoshino girl, to participate in such a competition..."
"I reject!"
"Rejected so quickly! Mingming Hoshino girl, you were also very angry just now?"
Hoshino waved his hand: "This is basically two different things. Besides, what's the use of me participating in such a competition? Do you want me to win the bounty back by myself?"
"Of course it is to stop the actions of the Sieg Lloyd group and those dark forces that are united in the underground. Don't let the tragedy caused by duel monsters continue to happen!"
Different from Bekas' words filled with righteous indignation, half of his face covered by bangs was obviously embarrassed.
"But collecting evidence is not an easy task. If there is insufficient evidence to act rashly, it will only be a warning. Although it can be contained slightly, it cannot hurt its muscles.
Those who want to really get in touch with the core executives of the underground duel and meet the real organizer, Zieg Lloyd, can only be those buyers who have paid a lot of money and hired powerful duelists to win the game along the way.
That's why I hope Hoshino girl, you hide your identity and participate in the underground duel competition.With Hoshino girl's strength, absolutely no one can stop your winning streak.When the time comes to meet Ziggy Boy as the strongest duelist in the underground, we will have enough evidence to catch him all in one go! "
"Your plan is beautiful, Bekas?" Hoshino raised his eyebrows, looking at Bekas with a sincere expression: "But why would I take the risk to do such a thing, I'm just an ordinary high school student Health~ This kind of underground duel competition sounds very dangerous no matter how it sounds."
"Hahaha, you're too modest. Hoshino girl, who is protected by many dueling spirits, how can you be an ordinary high school student, and Hoshino girl, you have a reason to do this..."
Bekas suddenly showed a cunning and cunning smile. It was the smile that he had been winning in the business world for many years.
"Only when Ziggy boy is officially arrested and loses the Haima Group, which is commercially targeted, will the stock have a chance to go back up. Then Hoshino girl, you can really get your own bounty~"
........
[The evaluation of the Duelist's level is completed, the Duelist is a combination of scum and scum, the overall rating is D, and 15 Saint Quartz will be issued as a victory reward.The current cumulative remaining number of Saint Quartz: 15. 】
"At this level, such a reward is barely acceptable~"
[Special Summon Shop (1/1)]
[SSR Ereshkigal - 100 Saint Quartz required for exchange]
"Hey, let me ask you!" Facing the trembling scum and scum brothers in the corner, Hoshino, who had exchanged bodies with Bai Xing, asked viciously.
"Do you know where the underground dueling arena that has been passed down in this city where duelists risk their lives is located?"
"You risk your life, the underground duel ring..."
The scum and the scum exchanged glances, and they seemed to understand something instantly.
"Could it be that little sister, are you planning to participate in that kind of desperate duel? That's something that even our two brothers dare not get involved in..."
Snapped--
Hoshino casually kicked the metal soda can next to him on the scum's head, "There's so much nonsense, just answer my questions honestly! Also, don't call me little sister anymore, you rookies."
"Yes, big sister!" The scum and scum immediately stood up respectfully: "We only know a thing or two about the underground dueling arena."
According to information obtained from scum and scum, there is a place called 'Valkyrie Hall'. On the surface, the hall is a very ordinary entertainment facility, specializing in the rental of holographic image equipment used by dueling monsters.
However, after closing at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, the guild hall can be considered to be truly in operation.Only the dignitaries who have the right to participate and the duelists who have paid a huge registration fee are eligible to enter the underground death duel arena through the clubhouse.
After returning to the hotel room arranged by the International Illusion Society, Hoshino breathed a sigh of relief, and could finally take off the suffocating cloak.This level of camouflage is necessary to avoid revealing one's identity.
"How? Sister Hoshino~ Have you found any useful information?"
Akasha, who was sitting on the big bed in the hotel and fiddling with the card deck, warmly welcomed Hoshino when he saw Hoshino returned.
The last time I came to the United States was because of Darzi's incident, and I didn't have time to see Akasha at all.This time when I heard that Hoshino was coming to the United States again, the girl almost broke the head of her father Rovik, so that Uncle Rovik reluctantly agreed to her coming.
After all, Hoshino had to carry out a fairly 'dangerous' mission this time.Of course, this danger is relative to other people... Now that Hoshino has Wang Ha as his bodyguard, he is just short of sneaking into the underground arena to open Wushuang.
"It's a lot of harvest~ It's not in vain that I went to such a remote street full of gangsters."
Hoshino nodded in satisfaction. After getting the specific information, now he only needs to wait for 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.
"By the way, Akasha, have you brought any money? I heard that there is still a lot of registration fees for participating..."
This woman has finally degenerated to the point of asking a little girl for money.
Chapter 3: If Heroes
"By the way, Akasha, have you brought any money? I heard that there is still a lot of registration fees for participating... I don't know how much this kind of competition for the rich and powerful will cost as a threshold."
As a condition for assisting Hoshino to complete the commission, Bekas and the International Illusion Society still thoughtfully provided air tickets and accommodation, including funds that Hoshino might spend on meals and entertainment along the way.
But suddenly there was such a large amount of entry fee, which was unexpected by both parties.
Akasha blinked her big water-blue eyes, with an innocent expression on her face, and said, "I'm just a cute little loli that can be seen everywhere, how could there be such a dirty thing?"
It turned out that this girl didn't bring any money with her when she went out, she was completely prepared to prostitute Hoshino for nothing.
"It's a headache, I can only contact Bekas."
Hoshino scratched his head and picked up the phone in the hotel room.Generally, this kind of call is directly connected to the lobby, and then the specific number to be dialed is transferred out.
"Hello~ This is room 4396. Please help me transfer to Bekas J. Cloverdo of the International Illusion Society. Just say that Chiyuki Hoshino wants to discuss something with him."
On the other phone is the sweet and slightly surprised voice of the lady in the lobby: "Okay...Okay~ Please wait a moment, I will transfer it for you now!"
Since it is a hotel arranged by Bekas, there is a high probability that it has a business partnership with the International Illusion Society, or it is simply a facility under its umbrella.
But people like Hoshino who asked for Bekas by name when he first moved in were still a minority, and without exception they were all people of status, so the staff naturally didn't dare to be negligent.
"Hello, this is Bekas J. Cloverdo, Good afternoon Hoshino girl~"
After waiting for about two minutes, Bekas's familiar construction site English rang from the other end of the call transfer.It only took this little time to get in touch with a big man like Bekas, and the efficiency is not low.
So since the opponent was so efficient, Hoshino didn't waste too much time and cut straight to the subject.
"I, Hoshino Chiyuki, send money!"
"Oh~? Is this some new type of fraud?"
