Since the president invited him so sincerely, Yuei Vu decided to give him a face for the time being and attend the competition.
This was not entirely for the face of President Kaiba, attending the competition was also good for Yuei Vu himself. For example, to increase his exposure, maintain his reputation among the players, and by the way, advertise the new cards, promote the new card box that would be launched in the private store, etc…
…definitely not to help that awkward guy Kaiba.
Well, that’s right, that’s it. Anyway, Yuei Vu believed it himself.
According to Yuei Vu’s previous life experience, this KC Grand Prix is different from the previous Battle City competition.
At that time, the Closed Beta had just started, and all the players were still holding stacks of Normie cards that had no combat effectiveness.
As the saying went “Even a clever woman can hardly cook without rice”, even the best players couldn’t play well if they didn’t have good cards in their hands.
In addition, the NPCs in the top eight of Battle City were all well-known big shots, and the players couldn’t get any benefits from them. It was really difficult to enter the top eight.
In the end, only a certain lucky guy squeezed into the quarterfinals with a gimmick Elemental HERO deck…
But now the game has been in service for so long, especially after all players have gone through the main storyline of Waking the Dragons arc and received a lot of generous rewards, some of the top elite players have more or less acquired cards with slightly more combat effectiveness. Those would certainly pose more threats.
In addition, as an anime-only arc, although the contestants in the KC Grand Prix were said to be “powerful duelists” from all over the world, in fact, the quality of the contestants has declined visibly compared with the Battle City.
All the contestants in the Battle City quarter-finals were big shots known as “legendary duelists” in later generations. In comparison, the KC Grand Prix in the original work seemed to be a bit of a pickle…. ..
AD
Under such a background, Yuei Vu had no doubt that there will definitely be many elite players who would stand out, and it was not impossible to even be shortlisted for the finals.
In addition, when it came to the KC Grand Prix, there was one more thing.
There must be a conspiracy in a large-scale event, which was common sense in any animation work. Fortunately for President Kaiba, Yuei Vu already knew in advance who was going to make trouble this time.
Because it was just a little effort, Yuei Vu thought about it and felt that it would be better to eliminate this potential threat for the president before the competition started.
…
Deep in the jungle, in a luxurious palace, there was a luxurious bathtub in the hall.
Surrounded by well-trained maids in uniform, like soldiers on guard. A man with long pink hair and a naked body was lying gracefully in the bathtub, holding a branch of roses in his hand.
He stood up from the bathtub with a “crash” and opened his arms.
The beautiful maids and sisters quickly surrounded him, some of them held towels to help him dry his body, some helped him to blow his hair, and some stood by with clean clothes.
In this situation, this pink-haired man neither had any distracting thoughts in his heart nor did he have any physical reaction…
…he was even thinking about another man.
“Seto Kaiba!”
AD
The pink-haired man smiled evilly, and at the same time sniffed the roses in his hand.
Those who didn’t know it may think that he has some secret relationship with President Kaiba…
He was called Sieg Lloyd, but his real name was Siegfried von Schroeder, the chairman of the Schroeder Corp.
The first time he met Kaiba was when they were both very young. At that time, Siegfried and his parents participated in the banquet hosted by Kaiba Corp. At that time, the young Siegfried hacked into the computer control program of Kaiba Corp during the performance in front of Little Kaiba, which made the little president admire him.
In fact, the original Schroeder Corp, like the Kaiba Corp, was also a world-renowned arms dealer.
However, as the saying went “colleagues are enemies”, Schroeder Corp has been maliciously suppressed by the Kaiba Corp in its development, and they really could not compete with the Kaiba Corp, which was constantly emerging with black technology. When the previous chairman, Sieg’s father, died from overwork, the company was on the verge of bankruptcy.
The young Siegfried stepped in and took over the banner of the company. He judged that in the arms industry, with the suppression of the Kaiba Corp, it would be difficult for them to stand up for a lifetime, so he waved his hand and made a very bold decision——
——From now on, our company will not sell arms, and will divert to vigorously develop the gaming business!
In short, his policy was “If you cannot fight, you should flee.”
The cake in the arms market was simply given up and handed over to the Kaiba Corp. They were going to find another way out in the gaming field.
Then, just as Siegfried made a desperate move and put everything left in the company into the recently emerging field of Duel Monsters, a piece of shocking news came from the board of directors one day.
“Report!!!”
AD
An employee rushed in in a panic, just like those little demons who spread the word “Monkey King is coming to the door” in Journey to the West.
“President! The new president of the Kaiba Corp, Seto Kaiba, just announced at the press conference that they will no longer sell arms, and will devote all their efforts to developing the Duel Monster business in the future!”
Siegfried had almost spat a mouthful of blood at that time.
We change to gaming because we can’t survive in the arms industry, why did you Kaiba Seto follow us?
Wouldn’t it be nice to sell your tanks and cannons?
But even so, Sieg had no turning back. He got up early and went to bed late every day, devoted himself to his work, and works day and night on scientific research and development…
…Then he was hanged and beaten by the president again.
Kaiba not only developed the stereoscopic projection system for duel monsters earlier than him, but also was ahead in terms of performance, cost, and convenience.
Kaiba took the lead in signing a contract with the Industrial Illusions, and their Schroeder Corp once again suppressed…
If I don’t revenge, I am not a gentleman!
Thinking of this, Sieg showed a cruel smile.
He has been waiting for this opportunity for a long time.
Kaiba Corp has been hit continuously and now was the most critical moment. The KC Grand Prix was a way for Kaiba Corp to bring it back to life. If this competition was messed up and there were some major accidents, Kaiba Corp would definitely be devastated.
At that time, their Schroeder Corp might also have a chance to take over again, replacing Kaiba Corp as the giant in the world of Duel Monsters!
Sieg has even prepared the script. First of all, he would pretend to be an ordinary contestant to sneak into the competition, take the opportunity to hack into the system of Kaiba Corp, lure Kaiba Seto to come forward and defeat the opponent head-on in the field of duel that the opponent was most proud of, and then let Kaiba Corp’s entire Duel Monster system server crash…
Just as he was thinking about it, a man ran in from outside the palace in a panic.
“M…Master Lloyd!” The butler panicked, “Your application for the KC Grand Prix competition has been rejected by the organizer!”
“!”
Sieg was taken aback.
Rejected?
How can it be?
Seto Kaiba should have no reason to remember me, right?
No, even if Seto Kaiba remembered me, he shouldn’t have any reason to know that he was going to make trouble in the KC Grand Prix, right?
Sieg snorted, took the goblet handed over by the maid at the side, and took a sip of the red wine gracefully.
AD
Although he didn’t know how the plan leaked out, it seemed that he underestimated Seto Kaiba’s vigilance.
But that’s okay, a really good schemer will always have a backup plan.
He also has a surefire hole card, the real trump card.
That was his brother, Leon Wilson.
Leon Wilson is actually a pseudonym made up by his younger brother himself. The original purpose was to secretly go out to participate in various duel competitions without telling the family, but it was later seen through by his brother Sieg.
Leon was not only a talented duelist whose dueling ability far exceeded that of Sieg, but also used this pseudonym to win championships in many major competitions. He has also been considered a well-known figure in the dueling world in recent years.
More importantly, no one knew that Leon’s true identity was Leon von Schroeder.
If his younger brother Leon was allowed to participate in the KC Grand Prix, absolutely no one would doubt his identity. At that time, as long as the virus program was handed over to Leon, let Leon act as his right-hand man, replace him in the KC Grand Prix, and paralyze the system of Kaiba Corp, the result would be the same…
Then at this moment, another person ran in from outside the hall in a panic.
“M…Master Lloyd!” the man shouted, “Young master Leon’s application to participate in the KC Grand Prix… was also rejected by the organizer!”
Sieg spewed out a sip of red wine on the spot, and the picture really looked a bit like a mouthful of old blood.
“What!?” Sieg was startled.
AD
Leon was also rejected?
It doesn’t make sense!
Could it be that Seto Kaiba is an astrologer, so he watched the sky at night and predicted that I was going to make trouble?
