Chapter 323:
The virtual bullet shot from the head of the giant spear dragon ruthlessly penetrated the slender body of the blonde girl.
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"
Clara LP: 4000→0
After a burst of breathtaking breath, the completely emptied life value represented the defeat of the girl named Clara in the duel.
The duel is over, victor, Keith Howard
"I lost, I didn't expect Howard you really are such a powerful duelist."
However, Clara, who lost the duel, didn't feel any frustration. Instead, her tone sounded like a sigh of relief.
"With such strength, it seems the best choice for you to take part in the underground duel ring for me. Then can I ask you, Howard?"
Keith, who put away the duel plate, did not respond to Clara's request for the first time, but just squinted and stood motionless.
"You two, have you seen enough?"
Clara looked puzzled and asked: "Howard? What are you talking about suddenly?"
"This kind of conspicuous change, and third-rate tracking skills, may be able to fool you Clara, but it will never escape my Keith Howard's eyes. Are you planning to come out yet?"
"It seems to be exposed" It is meaningless to continue hiding at this moment, Hoshino simply stood up generously.
Keith looked up and down Hoshino, who was wearing a gray cloak and wearing metal goggles, asked.
"Although you don't know who you are, you have been following Uncle Keith since the afternoon. What is your purpose?"
took off the metal goggles, took off the hood of Hoshino, and unabashedly exposed his iconic red eyes and silver hair, and asked seriously.
"I just wanted to ask Keith what is your purpose? To replace this girl in an underground duel of life betting, how could you be such a good-hearted person?"
"Hoshi... Hoshino Chiyuki?" Being stunned by Hoshino who suddenly revealed his identity, Keith couldn't maintain his calmness in an instant: "It's impossible. You will be here in San Francisco?"
Clara couldn't understand the situation even more. I didn't expect that she and Keith would be followed all the way here by the lovely girl in front of her.
"What the **** is this, Howard? Do you know this girl?"
"It's more than acquaintance..." Keith, whose face became more embarrassed, the cold sweat on his forehead ran down the turban that symbolized freedom.
"It should be said that the lingering soul is more appropriate. This uncle has been so downhearted, but you still don't want to let me go, Chiyuki Hoshino!"
Chapter 14: The dissonant eldest lady, an underground duel with death
Keith Howard, during the period of the Duelist Kingdom, did not receive an invitation, but smuggled to **** the metal stars of other duelists, and forcefully participated in the competition.
Finally, after being defeated by Hoshino, instead of honestly admitting defeat, he blocked the entrance of the cave duel with huge rocks, causing Hoshino, Yuyu and others to be trapped in it, and finally came to the front of the dungeon guardian labyrinth brothers.
Such a bad act of not complying with the spirit of the duel was naturally seen by Bekas. After losing the duel with Hoshino, although he did not hand over the metal star, Bekas was deprived of the right to the duel and expelled from the island.
During the subsequent duel in the city, while Bekas disappeared (in fact, he was looking for the production of the Legendary Heart card corresponding to the legendary dragon), Keith went to the rumors that Bekas had committed suicide by taking a walk in the night of the International Vision Society temporarily. As a result, Tianma Yexing, who was devoured by revenge, forcibly resurrected the unfinished Three Cthulhu cards and attacked the Haima Entertainment Group at the time.
Keith, who deceived the Cthulhu Card into his hands, eventually lost to Hoshino in a duel and escaped.
After two rounds of extremely bad events, Keith Howard has been ordered to be banned by the International Vision Society. Even if he has the title of consecutive national championship, he will not be allowed to appear in any formal duel competition from now on.
This is also the reason why the KC Grand Prix did not invite him.
Losing the survival method of dueling monsters, Keith Howard finally ushered in his midlife crisis. Life has also fallen from the glamour of being a champion in a row, to a situation where everyone is screaming and beating on the streets.
"I persecuted Uncle Keith to such a situation, but I still don't want to stop. It's really lingering, Hoshino Chiyuki!"
Hoshino's face was speechless, wondering who persecuted you, isn't it all you do from beginning to end if you can mix it up?
"Isn't it because you have fallen to this point because you deserved it. Now that I say this, I intend to make me sympathize with you? Sorry, I can't sympathize for a second in the face of **** like you."
Then Hoshino turned his gaze to the blond girl who was confused about the situation, and said seriously.
"Your name is Clara. I'm sorry to hide from the side and peek at your duel. But I still have to remind you that a **** like Keith is totally untrustworthy. Maybe she is just looking at your family's money and wants The set is almost waiting for an opportunity to start."
Clara looks like a young lady from appearance to conversation. Although I don't know how Keith came into contact with a girl like Clara, it is a fantasy to take the character of Keith to take part in a betting duel on behalf of others.
"Hehe" Hoshino's expectation was unexpected. After reminding her, Clara just covered her mouth and smiled: "Can I call you Miss Hoshino? It seems that Miss Hoshino, you and Howard have a lot of holidays."
Clara's polite and courteous attitude, and her educated temperament can be shown in her gestures, which made Hoshino's first impression of this young lady very good. But no matter how you look at it, it looks out of tune with an old hooligan like Keith.
"But Hoshino, the things you reminded me just now, said Howard was interested in our family's money and waited for an opportunity to start..."
Hoshino emphasized again: "Don't believe it, Clara, I am very confident in Keith's character."
"Of course I believe, how should I express it specifically?" Clara tilted her head and thought for a while, putting her white fingers on her chin, "It should be said that Howard has done the things you reminded Miss Hoshino"
Keith, you are so good, Chiyuki Hoshino did not see you wrong as expected!
"The first time I saw Howard, it was because he sneaked into my villa to steal and was caught by the security guard"
It's a villa again, and it's a security guard. Clara can be regarded as a real eldest lady.
Hoshino puzzled: "Since Clara, you know Keith's character, why are you still..."
"When a person is forced to desperate in front of you, you can choose to push it from the edge of the cliff to the abyss, or you can choose to extend a helping hand and give hope. The two opposite results will only be Change between your thoughts."
Clara smiled brilliantly, under her pure face, Hoshino seemed to see the glory of the saint.
"——Life is like a candle. It should be bright after all. This is what my father always warned me. So in the face of the desperate Howard, I did not choose to question his behavior, and gave him a righteousness. work."
The more dazzling holy light even made Hoshino feel a little dazzling. Unexpectedly, in this world where interests are paramount, there would still be such a selfless and noble girl. This is probably a thought that only those elders who are truly aristocratic and discordant can have.
At least Hoshino hasn't reached such a realm, even though Hoshino's family was quite wealthy before crossing.
"It's been a shameful month. I didn't expect that my uncle Keith would one day be reduced to an honest job."
uncomfortably scratched his head wrapped in the turban. The so-called situation where Keith had fallen to this point before, turned out to be working for the young lady's house.
Hoshino was still a little skeptical, and looked at Keith cautiously: "You guy, will you really wash your hands because of this. Isn't it taking advantage of Clara's kindness?"
"I believe Howard!" Facing Hoshino's suspicion, Clara rushed to answer.
"For my safety, Howard is even willing to take part in the bottom duel of gambling on my behalf. I believe that now Howard will never fall into the abyss of fame and evil again."
Akashia, who has been silent since just now, suddenly asked: "How can a dreamy lady like you, sister Clara, get involved in the underground duel?"
was asked the key question, Clara's expression dimmed instantly.
"This matter has nothing to do with you?" Keith snorted coldly, obviously unwilling to tell Hoshino why, and didn't want to see Clara embarrassed.
"It's okay, Howard, you don't have to worry about me like this. I'm very pleased that you can help my father and participate in the competition instead of me."
Clara shook her head and replied with a serious face: "The company my father runs has recently been maliciously suppressed by a certain family, and the supply and capital chain have broken. And the other party's purpose seems to be to force me to participate in the underground death competition."
Hoshino still can't figure it out: "A certain family? Why do you have to spend a lot of time getting people to participate in that kind of competition? Is there any benefit in that?"
"Because of the underground duel, this family is secretly operated. The Lloyd family!" Clara said the name, with obvious anger in her eyes.
"The Lloyd family...Zig Lloyd!" Hoshino exclaimed secretly. It seems that Bekas's speculation is completely correct. The man behind the underground duel he needs to find for this mission must be Qi. Groyd.
And calculated based on Clara's experience, in order to further spread the scale of the underground duel, Zieglloyd has begun to use family resources to force local wealthy businessmen who were unwilling to be involved in it to force participation.
The local wealthy businessmen threatened by Sieg Lloyd would normally pay a lot of money to find the duels for their lives. But a virgin character like Clara is definitely not willing to involve innocent people in such a game of life-gamble.
So this naive eldest lady wanted to participate in that kind of desperate competition in person before.
Keith quenched disdainfully: "So what does this have to do with you, as a duelist at the finale of the KC Grand Prix like you, shouldn't you have a life-threatening duel for the rest of your life."
"Of course it's a matter. It's better to say that you are lucky if you meet me"
Hoshino's mouth raised a mysterious smile, his eyes fixed on Clara.
"Since Keith can represent you in the competition, Clara, would you mind having one more duel to help you? After all, there is no requirement that the contestants can only choose one duel as a representative."
This kind of underground duel competition, naturally, the more duels who participate, the greater the organizer's profit. Moreover, for some wealthy, wealthy businessmen and dignitaries, there are often more than one dead man under their hands.
Clara blinked her big blue eyes naturally: "Hey? Miss Hoshino, what do you mean?"
"It means, I also want to represent Clara in the underground duel arena! As for my duel strength, just ask Keith."
Clara, a dissonant eldest lady, probably doesn't care much about dueling monsters. Otherwise, even Hoshino won’t recognize it.
I didn't expect that a duelist like Hoshino, who has an infinitely brilliant future, would suddenly propose to participate in the underground duel arena, but Keith did not react for a while.
Clara asked embarrassingly: "Howard, can Miss Hoshino really participate in this kind of competition?"
Keith said affirmatively: "Well, if she really wants to. At least in terms of duel strength, I can guarantee that I have a level that is 50-50 with me."
Yah, you really put gold on your face, where are you 50-50?
"But Chiyuki Hoshino, as you are, you will be exposed as soon as you play, right?"
"That's why I need this!" Hoshino, who took the metal goggles and the hood, turned around once again into a self-proclaimed perfect cross-dressing form.
"Puff......" Seeing Hoshino's appearance, Clara laughed dignifiedly.
"It turns out that this is the purpose for Miss Hoshino to dress like this. I was still wondering why a beautiful girl like Hoshino would match such a strange dress."
"Where is the weird dress? It is obviously very handsome, OK? People in this city have problems with their aesthetics."
Akashia murmured softly: "Sister Hoshino, you have to admit that there are some cruel realities. The real problem is your aesthetics..."
"If that's the case, please ask Hoshino to you, and Howard!"
Clara bowed deeply and expressed her inner respect to Hoshino and Keith.
"In order to save your father and save your father's company, you will bet on your lives and start a duel. I, Clara Phoenix, bet on the name of the family, and I will repay the two in the future."
"Oh...ok..." It was probably the first time in his life that he was so solemnly thanked, but Keith, who has always been a fool, doesn't know how to answer at this moment.
Hoshino clasped his fists, with a high fighting spirit: "Don't worry, leave it to me Clara. I will definitely let the guy named Zieg Lloyd pay the price of playing with the life of the duelist at will."
Akashia sneaked into Hoshino's ear and said with joy, "It's great, sister Hoshino, so I can save a huge amount of registration fee. Then, can the money transferred from the International Vision Society be collected? Sister has her own pocket?"
This girl, seeing things so thoroughly at a young age, the future achievements are limitless.
at midnight——
Akasha, who started all kinds of difficult scrolling works on the bed, made a hysterical temper.
"No, I don't care, I don't care! People are going to go, the underground duel arena feels super interesting, why can only let sister Hoshino go alone!"
Looking at Akashia, who was rolling back and forth 360° like a runner, Hoshino said helplessly: "It's a place outside the law. Besides, there is no fun to bet on the duel between money and life. How could it be possible to take a child over?"
"I'm not a kid, Akashia, I was the strongest rare card hunter back then, I haven't seen anything before! I'm going to see an underground duel!"
Akashia is telling the truth. Acting together with the group of faith lunatics in Gurus, tragic scenes are bound to be rare.
Bai Xing: "You take her there, aiboThe Chaldeans must be fully prepared. If you want to, it will be no problem to demolish the underground duel."
Hoshino sighed slightly: "If the underground dueling arena is torn down, wouldn't it be meaningless for me to prepare so much?"
If you just want to destroy the underground duel facility, you don't need Hoshino to go out. The International Vision Agency can do it on its own. But according to what Bekas said before, suppressing with violence only hurts the fur and cannot move his muscles and bones.
The main purpose now is to unearth the key evidence of Sieg Lloyd's operation of the underground duel arena.
"Forget it, since Akashia is so persistent, come here" Hoshino finally compromised.
"That's great, I know Hoshino's sister, you are the best!" Akashia, who leapt down from the bed, hugged Hoshino accurately.
But as a safety insurance, Hoshino took out a deck of cards from his waist and stuffed it into Akash's hands.
"Take this lily deck Akash with you. If you are in danger, just as I always do, just summon the heroes."
Different from the previous lily deck that Akashic used to steal, if Hoshino personally handed it over to Akashic, the lily would be more willing to help Akashic.
Satisfied with touching the deck in his hand, Akashia grinned brightly and said, "Hehe, the super rare card get√ made Akashya want to participate in an underground duel."
Chapter 15: Odds are 1:10, buy all and win!
"It's really slow, Chiyuki Hoshino, I thought you would have retreated before you even started."
Leaning against the dark night, looking like Keith who had been waiting for a long time, he started taunting at the first sight of Hoshino.
Hoshino wouldn't be late if it hadn't been for that girl from Akashya for so long. However, the culprit at the moment was still smirking triumphantly behind Hoshino's ass.
Clara breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest and whispered softly: "Great, I thought Miss Hoshino would not come...Oh, that's not right, now I can't call you Miss Hoshino anymore."
In exchange for Clara to participate in an underground duel, Hoshino asked Clara to help her hide her true identity. The specific thing to do is to make use of Felix’s family network resources to create a fake identity for Hoshino that can participate in the competition.
"Well, can I call you Vivian now? Xiao Wei is our exclusive maid. If she participates in the duel on my behalf, there shouldn't be any risk of exposure."
"Vivienne? Well, I really helped a lot, Clara"
Hoshino had never anticipated that this kind of underground duel arena outside of legal control would require a formal identity. If you didn't meet Clara, you might have overtaken the level when you signed up for the competition.
"Then I'll go help you sign up Howard and Vivian wait for me here for a while!"
