Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 597

Chương 597: Chapter 597: The Card Professor

Saito Ryuya was the leader of the local gang, the Shadow Dragon Group.

The Shadow Dragon Group made their living off the railways, controlling town rail lines for smuggling operations, and were one of three major underworld groups along the tracks.

At this moment, Saito Ryuya was drinking and boasting with his subordinates.

"…And then? Then I just smashed my fist into that cop's face. One of his front teeth flew out. He looked at me in disbelief."

Saito Ryuya, in the heat of his excitement, was practically spitting as he spoke, full of pride.

"I told him, 'If you know what's good for you, stay the hell away from me in the future.' Hah, you guys should've seen the look on his face!"

His underlings showered him with praise.

After a round of food and drinks, one of the younger members said, "Our Shadow Dragon Group is expanding fast, boss. We're taking over more and more of the rail territory. At this rate, swallowing up the Polar Night and Ghost Wolf gangs is only a matter of time. Shadow Dragon's domination of the rail lines is just around the corner. Boss Ryuya, you're unstoppable!" 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Ryuya laughed loudly at this.

The railways had always been jointly controlled by three gangs, each managing their own section. Of them, Polar Night was the strongest, infamous for their brutality, and the other two always had to give way.

But those days were over.

"It's all thanks to this gentleman here."

Ryuya smiled and toasted a man sitting at the table.

The man had blond, afro-styled hair—a duelist's look if ever there was one. He simply smiled, nodded at Ryuya, but said nothing.

He wore a Duel Disk on his arm.

Not long ago, this man had appeared in their town and demonstrated an unbelievable power before the Shadow Dragon Group. For the first time, these small-town thugs realized that Duel Monsters could possess such supernatural power.

Thanks to this man's abilities, the Shadow Dragon Group had risen rapidly, now with the momentum to swallow the other two gangs.

"But what I still don't understand," Ryuya said, "is why sir is so interested in that dead man in the villa?"

The blond man only smiled.

"Sometimes, the less you know, the better," he replied quietly.

But just as he finished speaking, there was a dull thud, as if something heavy had hit the floor. All the lights suddenly went out, plunging the room into darkness.

The gangsters were startled.

"What the hell? Power outage?"

But then a voice rang out behind them, sudden and unexpected.

"I'd like to know, too—why is the top card professor under Maximillion J. Pegasus so interested in someone who's been dead for three months?"

The unexpected voice shocked everyone in the room.

"Who's there?!"

Their eyes adjusted, and they turned to see someone who had appeared in the room without a sound—Kira.

He stood at the far end of the table, calmly facing the blond man. 1

"I'm not wrong, am I? Card Professor, Ted Banias?" 2

Ryuya slammed the table, about to get up. "Who do you think you are? Do you know where you are?"

But before he could move, the man called Ted simply lifted his hand and waved gently.

"You're no match for him."

Ryuya paused, and then noticed that Kira, too, was wearing a Duel Disk. Suddenly, he seemed to understand.

This guy and the blond man were the same kind of people.

These duelists had powers beyond the ordinary. They weren't from the same world as the rest of them.

"Duel King, Fujiki Kira, I presume?"

Ted sneered.

"Interesting. I had a chance to challenge the Duel King once, but it slipped away. Let me make up for that regret this time, and see if you're all you're cracked up to be."
