At the sight of Yusaku Kudo, Alice's anger flared up. She sneered.
"Hmph... trying to scare me? You can't scare me. I know your wife still has an A in her hand, right? So this time, I'm calling A again!"

At that moment, Yukiko Kudo's expression had already turned desperate.
That was right—she still had an A in her hand. And with that sound, the cards in her hand had become two...
