At the US military base in Guam, Thomas was looking at a piece of intelligence that had just been sent from China.
This time, the intelligence department under him was pretty good. Not long after Bekas announced the establishment of the ifd, the news was passed over. Now Thomas has read it several times, and the thin page is full of notes. Various speculations and arrangements.
And while General Thomas was reading carefully, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Thomas put the information sheet away, and then he looked at the door and found that it was his student Adrian, "Oh, dear Adrian, your expression doesn't look good. I think something went wrong with that action, right?”
"Did you know?" Adrian saluted Thomas and said with some reluctance, "I received a report from Cole at the scene. When the operation failed, Jessica actually chose to duel Dongfeng Guihui. Don’t you know who your target is?”
"Haha, so I said that this plan should not have been made in the first place, and" Thomas pointed to a small sofa in the office and said to Adrian: "Sit down and, even if we and Doma can't change it in the future, In the battle with Taichi, the status of duel monsters will become more and more important, but this method is not advisable. For duelists, we should still cultivate our own team. We must not act too hastily, you know? Target Muto. The arrangements between Yugi and Jonouchi Katsuya must have been cancelled, I know you did it."
"Your Majesty knows." Adrian sat down and his whole body was still tense, as if he was about to jump out to fight at any time, "But I don't understand, why are you so sure that dueling monsters will be more important in the future? "
"Because of this." Thomas was about to hand the document he was still reading to Adrian when he realized that the paper recorded too many ideas that only he could know, so he took the document back and started again. He took a new document and handed it to Adrian.
"ifd? This thing looks like a non-governmental organization. Maybe it can be turned into a semi-official organization, like FIFA. But no matter what, will this thing really be meaningful to the competition between us and Taiyi?" Adrian looked at the document with some confusion, "Our faction now occupies the majority of seats in the navy. Even the air force and army that were previously affiliated with Doma were taken advantage of by us when they transformed into Taiyi. A lot of people have been put in. At this time, ifd, there is no evidence to prove that ifd must be related to Taiyi, right?"
"Logically speaking, it is impossible for the International Illusion Society to support the establishment of ifd. At least now is not the time. This is equivalent to handing out the gold in your hands to others. The lost profits are enough to make that old fox feel raw." Thomas played with the cigar in his hand without smoking it. The "old fox" he referred to naturally refers to the richest man in the western United States, Becas J. Crawford. He was only the richest man in Nevada last year. Now he is one of the duel monsters. My father’s net worth has already taken off like a rocket with the popularity of the game. “As for the person or organization that has the strength to let him take out this cake, apart from the government, I only think of Taiyi.” ”
"There are still people who can do it, us." Adrian reminded, "No, even we are not close to being successful."
Nowadays, people from the Thomas faction are generally concentrated in the military or political circles. In a country where capital is king, there are still many restrictions on these people wanting to fight against Becas, who has a background in the IRS and is worth a fortune.
"There must be something fishy about Taiyi's strong admiration of Duel Monsters." Originally, Thomas wouldn't explain these words to an ordinary mid-level officer. They only need to execute the order and don't think about anything else, but Adrian did Winning Thomas' trust, the general has always treated him as a student rather than a subordinate, "and my style is to prepare for a rainy day."
"But now we have no way to directly obtain powerful duelists. How easy is it to cultivate a team of duelists that can withstand the test?" Since duels in this world are part of the "world axis", in this world, if you want to study Dueling is very difficult, which makes building a strong team of duelists a very expensive task. Not all of them can be "quickly solved" like Jonouchi or Masaki Kyoko.
"Perhaps we can find another way?" Thomas thought for a while and then picked up the document he had read before. "You think, if we use this kind of chip..."
Then the two people's voices became very low. It was obvious that this was a very confidential matter. Both Thomas and Adrian were extremely careful not to let this information be revealed.

On a commercial street not far from the port, Xiaohui took An Yugi, Jonouchi, Gozen and others shopping on the road. Because he brought Jonouchi, who stopped to play along the way, and Gozen Ryuuji, who helped him as a translator, the four of them The road goes slowly.
Yugi also took this opportunity to chat with Xiaohui. Although I don’t know why Xiaohui feels a little strange now, but that unique conversation style can tell Yugi that Xiaohui saved him on the cruise ship of "Duelist Kingdom" before. And Dongfeng Guhui within the city.
"So, Megumi, you came here to find someone? But you were attacked?" Yugi frowned. He felt that this place was not as simple as he thought before, "How about you take a flight with me and Jonouchi tomorrow morning? Going to California?"
An Yuxi felt that there must be something fishy about this matter, so he made the suggestion that Xiao Hui go with them to attend the ifd opening ceremony. Bekas did find Xiao Hui, but it was obviously much more important for the half-spirit girl to come here to find Li Zheng. .
Xiao Hui just shook her head. She still wanted to find Li Zheng here. Besides, ordinary methods would not threaten her.
"Hey, game, come and see, this is so cheap!" The sound of whirring in the city came from not far away. Guam is known as the "duty-free shopping paradise". Jonouchi's horizons here are wide open, "Don't look at Jonouchi, be careful of impulsive spending."
Yami Yugi promptly switched to the personality of Tableau Yugi, and after this persuasion, Cheng Nei finally seemed to be planning to leave. After finally leaving the duty-free shop, Xiaohui and his group walked around and finally returned to the hotel.
"The Shenzhi Hotel is very famous." Jonouchi looked at the travel guide in his hand and looked at Xiaohui with some envy. "It belongs to one of the top brands in the Placido Hotel Alliance and is a famous super hotel in the world. Xiaohui, how can you I’m so jealous living here.”
"It's all the same." The girl replied calmly that the things that half-spirits can enjoy are very limited, so no matter how luxurious a hotel is, they are all the same in her eyes.
Just before everyone entered the hotel, the security leader who led the team hurried over to Xiao Hui. The situation seemed to be urgent, so he reported it directly in front of Yu Yu and others after the girl indicated that it didn't matter.
five minutes later.
"Wait! What did you say before?" Jonouchi and Gozen's eyes widened. "You said that Jessica who attacked Xiao Hui escaped? And she first unlocked the handcuffs, then unlocked the prison door, and then drove a car, a yacht, and Did you escape using three means of transportation: helicopter?"
"Yes." The security captain nodded with confidence, "During this period, she also used her super fighting skills to defeat the two of us. At the same time, she was also able to skillfully use two guns with just two imitation guns snatched from a roadside stall. It can stop more than ten of us."
"There is such a guy who can do everything in Guam." Gozen, Yugi, and Jonouchi looked at each other. This familiar feeling made them shudder. "Can you say?"
