Yu-Gi-Oh!: Starting with an Underworld Deck, Depressing the World

"However, if we could find a way to obtain the key to Satellite SOLA, it would be a major boost for the Gecko Financial Group on its path to becoming the world's largest leader!" After muttering this to himself, the purplish-red-haired, gold-rimmed-glasses man, Adrian Gecko, quickly turned and headed towards the special student rooms in the Obelisk Blue dormitory! "Adrian, my friend."

Just as Adrian Gecko stepped into the corridor, he suddenly heard a familiar, deep voice coming from not far behind him.

I called out to him!

In the blink of an eye, the Professor Cobra with the pointed chin appeared over there. "Professor Cobra, you were looking for me?"

Adrian Gecko's eyes flickered for a moment, then he asked the Professor Cobra, feigning surprise.

"That's right, Adrian. Based on all the information I've seen so far, it seems you haven't even had a single actual Survival Duel, have you?" Professor Cobra walked up and stopped, his hands behind his back, looking out the corridor window into the distance, and continued speaking to Adrian Gecko without turning his head. "Is it because you have some kind of opinion about my Survival Duel intensive training policy?"

"No, you're exaggerating. It's just that I haven't found a suitable opponent yet," Adrian Gecko replied, glancing out the window as he tried to find a reason.

He was unsure what Professor Cobra wanted to do.

Could it be that he was noticed when he followed the other party to that abandoned small military research base last night?

"If that's the case, then it's relatively easy to handle. After all, this Duel Academy is not lacking in powerful elites and duelists," Professor Cobra said, glancing in Adrian Gecko's direction.

"Like that previous World Duel Tournament winner, Jiang He, he'd be a perfect challenge for you." "In two days, there will be a mid-term report assessment for the Survival Duel Intensive Training. That means if you don't achieve something within these two days, you might face the difficult situation of being expelled back to the East Academy, Adrian." "If possible, I wouldn't want the heir of the Gecko Financial Group to suffer such humiliation." Professor Cobra glanced meaningfully at Adrian Gecko and snorted.

Let the Gecko Financial Group's son, who seems to have discovered his temporary base and whose skills are a bit off, continue to probe Jiang He, whose identity is quite troublesome.

He, on the other hand, can reap the benefits and figure out many things!

They could even take the opportunity to eliminate one or two without causing too much panic or trouble, or exposing their plans!

"Thank you for your advice. I will challenge Prince Jiang He to a duel at the appropriate time." Adrian Gecko's eyes flashed, and he guessed some of Professor Cobra's plans. However, it was also convenient; he himself intended to find a reason to duel Jiang He in order to try and obtain the key to Satellite SOLA, which seemed to be in Jiang He's possession!

The only problem is that he now needs to have something in return, something equivalent to the Satellite SOLA Key.

Inside the Duel Academy, on the way to Aunt Dorothy's convenience store.

"Just now, Professor Cobra and Adrian Gecko, the eldest son of the Gecko Financial Group, seemed to be standing by the window on the second floor of that building, talking about something," Alexis Rhodes Tenjouin said to Jiang He with a hint of surprise, as if she had just seen something. She turned around, feeling like someone was watching them from afar, and saw Professor Cobra and Adrian Gecko talking by the window of that building in the distance, before turning and leaving.

"They're probably having some kind of dogfighting, shady conversation..."

Hearing Alexis Rhodes's words, Jiang He shook his head indifferently and said...

He had heard the little Sphere Kuriboh's warning immediately and sensed the situation in the distance behind him.

Two auras filled with "malice".

However, Jiang He was not worried about this at all.

Two people scheming against each other and eager to eliminate one another are unlikely to be discussing how to join forces. Based on his recollection, the original scenario was most likely that the muscular, Professor Cobra was threatening the purplish-red-haired, bespectacled man, Adrian Gecko, with Survival Duel or something similar.

Moreover, it seems that the target of the duel has been set on Jiang Daishanren.

For a fleeting moment, he sensed two malevolent auras directed at him from the other side, which simultaneously focused on him. "Looks like I don't need to go looking for them; this guy will come to me on his own soon enough," Jiang He muttered to himself.

This actually saved him a lot of trouble.

"So, Adrian Gecko of the Gecko Financial Group does have some problems after all?" Johan Andersen remarked upon hearing this.

His Crystal Beasts Duel Monsters Spirit, before he and Adrian Gecko traveled by cruise ship from various branch schools to this Duel Academy.

He had reminded him that Adrian Gecko seemed to be more than he appeared.

It's as if something is hidden beneath that person's outward appearance.

Upon hearing this, the others couldn't help but look in his and Jiang He's direction with some curiosity.

They didn't see anything wrong with Adrian Gecko at all.

However, Jiang He's earlier comment about dogs biting dogs was clearly not unfounded.

"It's said that the Gecko Financial Group has a top-notch commercial spy who has brought countless benefits to the Gecko Group, and to this day, no one in the BAFC knows his true identity."

At this moment, Chazz Princeton, that goofball, also crossed his arms and casually guessed.

"It can't be that Adrian Gecko, the young master of the Gecko Financial Group, can it?" Upon hearing this, Jiang He couldn't help but have a strange expression.

Good grief, you even managed to stumble upon this by accident?!

All I can say is, he truly lives up to his reputation as the number one comedian in the Duel Academy...

"When I was dueling with that big-nosed Little Black Axel Brodie, the Sphere Kuriboh little Goomba reminded me that someone was secretly watching me from afar." "Just now, after sensing Adrian Gecko's malicious intent again, I realized that it seemed to be the same person who had been secretly watching before." Jiang He also quite bluntly exposed Adrian Gecko's spy identity.

"Ordinary people can't spy on others without being detected like before; only those with considerable espionage skills can do it." "So, that Adrian Gecko really could be the Gecko Financial Group's spy?!"

Upon hearing his words, Alexis Rhodes, Chazz Princeton, Jaden Yuki, and the others all looked dumbfounded and exclaimed in surprise. The unlucky little Syrus Truesdale was about to cry out Jiang He his goofy little brother, Tyranno Hassleberry, quickly covered his mouth!

To prevent the sound from getting out and being heard by students at the Duel Academy in the distance, which would cause the matter to spread and allow Adrian Gecko to learn in advance that his identity had been exposed!

"I never expected such a shocking turn of events..." Bastion Misawa said, his face full of surprise. Compared to Jaden Yuki and Johan Andersen, those two hot-blooded idiots who lacked common sense, he could better appreciate how outrageous it was that the eldest son of a world-class conglomerate with immense wealth would become a spy.

It's as absurd as Chazz Princeton from the Chazz Princeton Group family deliberately becoming a beggar...

"It seems we need to be careful with this Adrian Gecko. And his purpose in coming to the Duel Academy isn't pure either; he might be like that Professor Cobra, or perhaps he's after the Satellite SOLA Key in your possession." Tyranno Hassleberry frowned and clenched his fist, saying, "Ughhhh!!"

Syrus Truesdale, the small boy whose mouth was covered like a chick by him, immediately struggled!

He was being suffocated!

Wait a moment.

Jiang He, Alexis Rhodes, and the others bought deluxe bento boxes and a number of cardholders from Aunt Dorothy's convenience store.

Upon returning to the Slifer Red Dormitory and his own luxurious cabin.

Suddenly, a bespectacled man with purplish-red hair appeared, leaning against the wooden bridge at the only place he could pass.

It was clearly that little spy Adrian Gecko!

"How rude of me to bother you at this time."

Upon seeing Jiang He and his group appear, the purplish-red-haired, bespectacled man, Adrian Gecko, immediately stood up and looked at Jiang He with a seemingly friendly expression, saying, "However, Professor Cobra just instructed me to come and challenge you, Jiang He, to a duel within two days, or I will be punished." "Coincidentally, I also have some reasons why I want to duel with you, Jiang He."

Chapter 484 Jiang He: You're using your childhood sweetheart as a bargaining chip? [Please subscribe]

"So that little spy really did come...?"

Upon seeing the purplish-red hair and glasses-wearing man, Adrian Gecko, appear on the wooden bridge, Jiang He was not surprised and thought to himself.

And this little spy is quite cunning...

They immediately betrayed the bespectacled professor, claiming that the other party had sent this guy.

Isn't this just a way to make him direct the main hatred towards that muscular Professor Cobra?

Immediately, Jiang He curled his lip and looked at Adrian Gecko, saying, "If you want a duel, that's not impossible, but you'd better state your so-called 'reason' first."

"Then I'll speak without hesitation."

Upon hearing Jiang He's words, the bespectacled man with purplish-red hair, Adrian Gecko, immediately smiled in a seemingly friendly manner.

"I happened to hear that one of the control keys to Satellite SOLA of the Serpent God Kingdom, is in your hands, Jiang He."

"If possible, I'd like to use this as the wager for this duel!"

"Nani?"

His words immediately startled Alexis Rhodes, Bastion Misawa, and the others, including Tyranno Hassleberry!

They definitely came with a purpose!

Moreover, they immediately set their sights on the key to Satellite SOLA.

"If the key to Satellite SOLA is being wagered, then an equal amount must be offered."

Even before Jiang He could speak, the Chazz Princeton, who was not far away, had already crossed his arms and was mocking Adrian Gecko with obvious dislike.

"That's equivalent to controlling half of the Serpent God Kingdom. Even if you bet the entire wealth of the Gecko Financial Group, it wouldn't be enough, would it?"

Originally, as a member of the Chazz Princeton Group family, he could be considered the richest person in the entire Duel Academy, apart from Jiang He's rather special case.

It also garnered significant attention among a large number of students at the Duel Academy.

Now, a tycoon's eldest son, who is "similar" to him, has appeared. Chazz Princeton instantly felt a sense of hostility, as if "competitors are enemies."

Not to mention, the other party's identity is not simple; they should be considered an enemy on their side!

"I've naturally prepared some corresponding chips."

Upon hearing this, the bespectacled man with purplish-red hair, Adrian Gecko, smiled confidently and replied.

Then he took out a small briefcase, opened it, and showed its contents to Jiang He.

There were some paper documents with special markings and a jade pendant.

"While it can't compare to a key from Satellite SOLA, I think these should at least pique Jiang He's interest." "This is... a small portion of the shares of Industrial Illusions, Kaiba Corporation, and the Gecko Group?" Upon seeing the special symbols and names on the papers, Jiang He immediately recognized them. Although it was only a small portion of the shares, Industrial Illusions, jointly owned by Chairman Pegasus and King of Games Yugi Muto, and Kaiba Corporation, owned by Seto Kaiba, only had a small portion of their shares outstanding.

Indeed, it is a "limited edition" resource that even the power of the Serpent God Kingdom could not obtain.

Jiang He was indeed somewhat interested in these things.

However, he felt that he could extract even more benefits from the other party!

After all, the value of the Satellite SOLA Key goes far beyond that.

"The first three sheets of paper are documents, so what does that jade pendant represent?" Jiang He asked Adrian Gecko directly.

As for whether the other party's three documents were forged, he could easily distinguish them, and could even contact Chairman Pegasus on the spot for video confirmation.

"This jade pendant is proof that you can command a female all-around secretary trained by the Gecko Financial Group. Only two such individuals have been successfully trained within the entire Gecko Financial Group." (Requesting flowers...)

The man with purplish-red hair and glasses, Adrian Gecko, suddenly gave a subtle glance and said...

"In other words, besides those three share documents, the other bargaining chip I'm offering is an extremely rare talent cultivated by the Gecko Financial Group." "She's proficient in all life skills, business acumen, and even mercenary-like military skills, capable of helping solve many troubles and problems." "..." Jiang He's lips twitched upon hearing this.

He already had a guess as to who this all-around rare talent the little spy was talking about was.

It should be that "buzz-cut female assistant" that the other side brought to a certain sea area near the Duel Academy, who is secretly cooperating with them to carry out their plan in a submarine.

He could be considered a companion of Adrian Gecko.

Jiang He had no doubt whatsoever about the professional skills his female assistant, whose hair was even shorter than his and who had a "masculine" appearance with a buzz cut...

However, Jiang He thought that if he were to actually use someone trained from childhood by the Gecko Financial Group, wouldn't that be like planting a spy right next to himself...?

They might not even know when the other party has transferred all their wealth!

Compared to this, isn't his vampire maid Camula much more reliable?

"Don't use these Gecko Financial Group as bargaining chips. It's better to use something more practical," Jiang He said, speechless.

Upon hearing this, the purplish-red-haired, bespectacled man, Adrian Gecko, suddenly understood the implied meaning! In other words, if he could offer other tangible incentives, Jiang He would agree to a duel with him, using the key to Satellite SOLA as the wager!

"If this offer doesn't meet your expectations, how about we switch to this legendary Jade Legendary Crystal Beast Duel Disk, a family heirloom passed down from the previous generation of the Gecko Financial Group, created using alchemy at great expense of manpower and resources?" The purplish-red-haired, bespectacled man, Adrian Gecko, said, taking out another spare briefcase from the side.

The sign indicating that it was open was pointed towards Jiang He.

Clearly, they had considered this beforehand; the all-round talent, or rather, the spy, that the Gecko Financial Group was talking about might not be accepted!
