I Play Cards in the Kingdom of Duelists with Heroic Spirits

"It's okay, Howard, you don't have to worry about me like this. I'm already very relieved that you can help your father and take part in the competition instead of me."

Clara shook her head, and replied seriously: "The company run by my father has recently been maliciously suppressed by a certain family, and the source of goods and the chain of funds have been broken. The purpose of the other party seems to be to force me to participate in the underground death competition."

Hoshino still couldn't figure it out: "A certain family? Why do you have to go to such lengths to get people to participate in that kind of competition? Is there any benefit in that?"

"Because of the underground duel, this family is secretly operating it. The Lloyd family!" Clara said the name with obvious anger in her eyes.

"The Lloyd family... Sieg Lloyd!" Hoshino exclaimed secretly. It seems that Bekas's speculation is not wrong at all. The man behind the underground duel that he needs to find for this mission must be Qi. G Lloyd.

And based on what happened to Clara, in order to further expand the scale of the underground duel field, Sieg Lloyd has already begun to use family resources to force local wealthy businessmen who were originally unwilling to be involved to participate.

Local wealthy businessmen who are threatened by Sieg Lloyd will pay a lot of money to find duelists who will work for them.But a saint-like character like Clara would definitely not be willing to involve innocent people in such a life-threatening game.

So this naive young lady actually wanted to participate in that kind of desperate competition in person.

Keith snorted disdainfully: "So what does this have to do with you? A duelist like you, who is the finale of the KC Grand Prix, should never have that kind of fateful duel for the rest of his life."

"Of course it's related, it's better to say that you are lucky to meet me~"

Hoshino raised a mysterious smile at the corner of his mouth, and stared at Clara in front of him.

"Since Keith can represent you in the competition, Clara, would you mind having one more duelist to help you? After all, the competition does not stipulate that the participating parties can only choose one duelist as a representative."

Naturally, the more duelists participated in this kind of underground dueling competition, the greater the profit for the sponsor.Moreover, some wealthy businessmen and dignitaries often have more than one deadly soldier under their hands.

Clara blinked her big blue eyes naturally: "Hey? Ms. Hoshino, what do you mean?"

"It means that I want to represent you, Clara, to participate in the underground duel ring! As for my duel strength, you can just ask Keith."

A young lady like Clara, who is not in harmony with the world, probably doesn't care much about the duel monster event.Otherwise, even Hoshino wouldn't be able to recognize him.

Unexpectedly, Hoshino, a duelist with an infinitely bright future, would suddenly propose to participate in the underground duel arena, and Keith didn't react for a while.

Clara asked with some embarrassment: "Howard, can Miss Hoshino really be allowed to participate in this kind of competition?"

Keith affirmed: "Well, if she really wants to. At least in terms of dueling strength, I can guarantee that she has a [-]-[-] level with me."

Damn, you really know how to put gold on your face, where did you get the [-]-[-] split?

"But Hoshino Chiyuki, with your identity, as long as you play, you will be exposed, right?"

"That's why I need this!" Putting on the metal goggles and hood together, Hoshino turned around and once again entered the self-proclaimed perfect cross-dressing state.

"Pfft..." Looking at Hoshino's appearance, the dignified Clara rarely laughed.

"It turns out that this is the purpose of Ms. Hoshino's dressing up like this. I was still wondering why a beautiful girl like Ms. Hoshino would match such a strange outfit."

"It's not so strange to dress up, it's obviously very handsome, okay, people in this city have aesthetic problems."

Akasha softly complained: "Sister Hoshino, you have to admit that there are some cruel realities. The real problem is your aesthetics..."

"If that's the case, then please Miss Hoshino, and Howard!"

Clara bowed deeply, expressing her inner respect to Hoshino and Keith.

"In order to save father and father's company, you risked your lives to fight. I, Clara Phoenix, bet on the name of the family, and I will definitely repay the two of you in the future."

"Oh...ok..." It was probably the first time in his life that he was thanked so solemnly, but Keith, who had always been foolish, didn't know how to answer at this moment.

Hoshino clasped his fists, with a look of high fighting spirit: "Leave it to me, Clara, I will definitely make that guy named Sieg Lloyd pay the price for playing with the duelist's life at will."

Akasha sneaked into Hoshino's ear, and said happily: "That's great, Sister Hoshino, this will save a huge amount of registration fees. Then, will the money remitted by the International Illusion Society be collected?" Elder sister pocketed it herself?"

This girl, who can see things so thoroughly at such a young age, her future achievements are limitless.

At midnight—

Akasha, who started all kinds of difficult tumbling movements on the bed, lost her temper hysterically.

"No, I don't care, I don't care! They're going, the underground duel ring is so interesting, why can I only let sister Hoshino go alone!"

Seeing Akasha rolling back and forth 360° like a wheel, Hoshino said helplessly: "It's a place outside the law, besides, it's not interesting to bet on a duel with money and life. How could it be possible to bring a child there?"

"I'm not a child, Akasha, I was the strongest rare card hunter back then. I haven't seen any scenes! I'm going to watch the underground duel!"

What Akasha said was the truth, and when he acted together with Gurus and the group of religious lunatics, tragic scenes must have happened.

Bai Xing: "Just take her there, aibo~ Chaldea must have made complete preparations, as long as you want to, it's no problem to dismantle the underground duel field."

Hoshino sighed softly: "If the underground duel field is demolished, wouldn't all my preparations be meaningless?"

If you just want to destroy the underground duel facility, you don't need Hoshino to come out, the International Illusion Society can do it by itself.But according to what Bekas said before, the use of violence to suppress it is just to hurt the skin, and it cannot move its muscles and bones.

The main purpose now is to find out the key evidence that Zieg Lloyd runs the underground duel field.

"Forget it, since Akasha is so persistent, follow me~" In the end Hoshino compromised.

"That's great, I knew Sister Hoshino that you are the best!" Akasha leaped down from the bed, and hugged Hoshino accurately.

But as a safety insurance, Hoshino took out a deck of cards from his waist and stuffed it into Akasha's hands.

"You carry this lily card group Akasha with you. If you are in danger, just like I often do, just summon the heroic spirit."

Unlike Akasha's previously stolen lily deck, if Hoshino handed it over to Akasha himself, the lilys would be more willing to help Akasha.

Satisfied touched the deck in his hand, Akasha grinned brightly and said, "Hehe, the super rare card get√ made Akasha want to participate in the underground duel."

Chapter 15: Odds 1:10, buy all and win!

"It's really slow, Hoshino Chiyuki, I thought you'd already retreated before you even started."

Leaning against the pitch-black night, Keith, who looked like he had been waiting for a long time, began to mock Hoshino the first time he saw him.

If that girl Akasha hadn't been messing around for so long, Hoshino wouldn't be late.However, the culprit at this moment was still smirking complacently behind Hoshino's butt.

Clara breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and said softly, "Great, I thought you wouldn't be here, Ms. Hoshino... Oh, no, I can no longer call you Ms. Hoshino."

In exchange for participating in the underground duel on behalf of Clara, Hoshino asked Clara to help him hide his true identity.The specific thing to do is to use the network resources of the Felix family to create a fake identity for Hoshino that can participate in the competition.

"Then can I call you Vivienne now? Xiaowei is our family's exclusive maid. If you use her identity to represent me in the duel, there shouldn't be any risk of exposure."

"Vivian, um, it's really helpful, Clara~"

Hoshino did not expect that this kind of underground duel ring outside the legal control would require a formal identity.If he hadn't met Clara, he might have passed the hurdle of signing up for the competition.

"Then I'll help you sign up~ Howard and Vivian are waiting for me here for a while!"

After gesturing to the two people beside her, Clara quietly slipped into the Valkyrie Guild Hall shrouded in darkness.

If you didn't know in advance that this place is related to the underground duel, it would be a bit strange to see the duel hall that is still open to the public at this point.After all, who would go out to play cards at 12 o'clock in the middle of the night.

Akasha grabbed Hoshino's arm, and said with a smile, "Hehe, Sister Xiaowei~ It feels so fresh!"

"I said Hoshino Chiyuki, do you really just want to help Clara?" Akasha didn't mind, but Keith, who didn't see each other, came to talk to Hoshino: "You must have other purposes that you haven't explained, right? I won't trust you!"

Hoshino said sternly: "Cough~ I'm Vivienne now, I don't know Hoshino Qianxue at all. Besides, distrust can be said to be mutual. People like you, Keith, are willing to risk your life." duel?"

"Of course I will. This is an opportunity for Mr. Keith to stand up!" Keith replied full of fighting spirit: "As long as you keep winning in underground duels, the money you can earn is not comparable to the prize money of a mere competition."

"This is a lie, isn't it, Keith?" Although Hoshino is not particularly good at seeing people, such an obvious lie by Keith can't escape her eyes at all.

"The reason why you can risk your life to fight a duel is because you want to protect that discordant lady."

"How... how is it possible! I am a bounty hunter, Master Keith, of course I will work for money, and I have nothing to do with the life or death of that young lady!"

While the two were talking, Clara's head came out of the door quietly, and by the way, she reached out and made a V sign to Hoshino and the others.

Hoshino smiled slightly, and said: "It seems that the eldest lady has settled it, let's go, Akasha!"

"Oh, go to the underground duel!"

Seeing the two of them going to participate in the life-gamble duel so easily, Keith didn't know what expression to put on at the moment.Perhaps this is the self-confidence of the so-called strong.

Through the secret door hidden in the guild hall, everyone successfully entered the underground facility full of money and darkness.

If Hoshino remembered correctly, the secret door on the floor should be a duel ring with holographic images during the day.That is to say, if the guild hall does not put away the dueling ring, no matter how hard you try, you will not be able to find the entrance.

"Ow—!"

"Tonight's duel is really exciting!"

"I mortgaged all my family's money, and I have to win it back tonight!"

"How many duelists are going to be abolished today? Forget it. Anyway, as long as you have money, there will be no shortage of desperate people."

As soon as he stepped into the underground duel field, the noise full of desire and struggle came unceremoniously.And looking around, the size and luxury of the underground duel arena is simply not comparable to that of the Valkyrie Hall overhead. The magnificent decoration makes it impossible to tell that this is a hidden underground facility.

Based on such a venue and the number of people, there is a high probability that the underground duel field is more than just the entrance of the Valkyrie Guild Hall.

"This is really, a completely unexpected number of people."

Looking around Hoshino, he found that nearly half of the people were middle-aged uncles with oily faces and expensive clothes.Of course, there are also sexy and coquettish ladies in dresses.It seems that these people are the customers of the underground dueling arena, the rich and powerful businessmen who control most of the wealth of the entire city.

Also caught Hoshino's eyes, there are several arenas with iron cages installed like underground boxing halls that completely seal the participants inside and prevent them from escaping at will.

"Hello, are you Miss Clara from the Phoenix family, and the representative duelists Keith Howard and Vivienne?"

While everyone was observing the surroundings curiously, a female deacon dressed in black walked out of the guild hall.With blond short hair over the ears, fair complexion and delicate facial features full of heroism, even a girl looks extremely handsome.

"Hello, I am the staff responsible for receiving everyone. Now I will explain the rules of participating in the duel to you——

The rules for participating in the family unit do not limit the number of duelists as representatives.However, because duelists wear current devices that destroy their bodies while their health is depleted, in order to protect the most basic life safety of participating duelists, the same duelist can only conduct two duels on the same day.

Taking the family as a unit, 1 point will be awarded for the victory of each duel, and 1 point will be deducted for failure.If there is a winning streak, the points will be accumulated in order according to the number of consecutive victories.If you keep winning, the points will be accumulated in the form of 1+2+3+4.

Each point can be exchanged for 10 US dollars, and only after accumulating 20 points can it be exchanged for the qualification to enter the high-level duel arena.It is important to note that if the points are deducted to a negative number due to consecutive failures, an equivalent fine must be settled on the same day.

Of course, each duel will also open a bet with different odds according to the difference in strength between the two sides. It is your own freedom to bet whether you want to bet or not.

Above, the basic rules are explained. "

The concise and proficient explanation, just a few words, let everyone fully understand the functions of the underground duel field, which proves that the deacon girl is extremely experienced.

Akaxia opened her mouth wide and said in surprise, "That's amazing, sister Xiaowei! If you exchange 1 point for 10 US dollars, it doesn't count as the winning streak reward, and you will get at least 10 US dollars for winning one game!"

To be honest, Hoshino was also shocked. It should be said that it was an underground duel where he risked his life, and the reward for winning was not insignificant.

But what Hoshino cares more about is the high-level duel field that can only be entered after accumulating 20 points.It coincides with what Bekas emphasized at the time, that only the winner of the underground duel is eligible to contact the Lloyd family behind the scenes.

Clara's eyes were a little erratic, and she asked timidly, "Well, may I ask... By the way, I don't know your name yet?"

The deaconess still has the well-trained and formal expression: "Our staff in the underground dueling field don't use their first names. I'm just a deacon who is in charge of the Phoenix family. Miss Clara, you can call me by my code name—9527."

"9...9527?" Clara, who has always been well-educated, probably called someone by a code name for the first time, and felt very awkward: "Then, may I ask, Miss 9527, when can we officially start the duel?"

Bai Xing: "What a hasty young lady. Obviously, the next battle will be a life-threatening duel. Then aibo, how do you think this young lady can be persuaded?"
