Chapter 30 Familiar Feeling
In 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 his jurisdiction was quite powerful. Not long after Becas announced the establishment of IFD, the news was sent over. Now Thomas has read it several times. The thin page is full of various speculations and arrangements.
And just as General Thomas was reading carefully, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in." Thomas put away the intelligence sheet, then he looked towards the door and found that it was his student Adrian, "Oh, dear Adrian, you look unhappy, I think there must be something wrong with the operation, right?"
"Did you know?" Adrian saluted Thomas and said unwillingly, "I received a report from Cole at the scene. When the operation failed, Jessica actually chose to duel with Dongfeng Gu Hui... Doesn't she know who her 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 though we will have a fight with Doma in the future... why can't we change it? In the confrontation with Taiyi, the 'duel' 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 and never rush, understand? Cancel the arrangements for Yugi Muto and Katsuya Jonouchi, I know you did it. "
"Yes... I know." Adrian sat down and still tensed up, as if he was about to jump out to fight at any time, "But I don't understand, why are you so sure that 'Duel Monsters' will be more important in the future? "
"Because of this." Thomas was about to hand the document he was reading to Adrian and found that there were too many ideas recorded on this paper that only he could know, so he took the document back and handed a new document to Adrian.
"...ifd? This thing looks like a non-governmental organization no matter how you look at it - maybe it can be turned into a semi-official organization, just like FIFA - but in any case, will this thing really make sense for the competition between us and Taichi?" Adrian looked at the document, a little confused, "Our faction now occupies the majority of seats in the navy, and even the air force and army that were previously affiliated with 'Doma' were inserted by us when they transformed into 'Taichi'. At this time, an ifd... and there is no evidence to prove that ifd must be related to Taichi?"
"In theory, the 'International Illusion Society' is impossible to support the establishment of ifd - at least now is not the time - this is equivalent to forcibly giving away the gold in its hands to others, and the lost profits are enough to make that The old fox felt the pain. "Thomas played with the cigar in his hand, but didn't smoke it; the "old fox" he mentioned naturally refers to the richest man in the western United States, Becas J. Crofto, who was only the richest man in Nevada last year. Now the father of Duel Monsters has been soaring like a rocket with the popularity of the game, "and the person or organization that has the strength to let him take out this piece of cake... Apart from the government, I can only think of Taiyi."
"There are others who can do it, us." Adrian reminded, "No, even we are not ready yet."
Now Thomas's faction is generally concentrated in the military or political circles, and in a country where capital is king, these people still have many restrictions if they want to fight with Becas, who has an IRS (Internal Revenue Service) background and is worth a lot of money.
"There must be something fishy about Taichi's strong advocacy of 'Duel Monsters'." Thomas would not have explained these words to an ordinary mid-level officer. They only needed to follow orders and not think about anything else, but Adrian did have Thomas's trust. The general always treated him as a student rather than a subordinate. "And my style is to plan ahead."
"But now we have no way to directly obtain powerful duelists. How easy is it to train a team of duelists that can stand the test?" Since dueling is part of the "world axis" in this world, it is very difficult to study dueling in this world; this also leads to the fact that building a strong team of duelists is a very expensive thing - not everyone can be like Jonouchi or Mazaki Kyoko who can "get it right away".
"Maybe we can try another way?" Thomas thought about it and picked up the document he had read before, "You said, if we use this chip to..."
Then the two of them spoke very softly. It can be seen that this is a very confidential matter. Both Thomas and Adrian are extremely careful not to let the news leak out.
————————Ghost Plan Pumpkin Lantern————————
On a commercial street not far from the port, Xiao Hui was walking with Yami Yugi, Jonouchi, and Gozen. Because they were accompanied by Jonouchi who stopped to play along the way and Gozen Ryuji who helped him translate, the four of them walked very slowly.
Yugi also took this opportunity to chat with Xiao Hui - although he didn't know why Xiao Hui gave people a strange feeling now, the unique conversation style could tell Yugi that the current Xiao Hui was the Dongfeng Gu Hui who saved him and Jonouchi on the cruise ship of "Dueler Kingdom" before.
"So, Hui, you came here to look for 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 plane to California with me and Jonouchi tomorrow morning?"
Dark Yugi felt that there must be something fishy about this matter, so he proposed to let Xiaohui go with them to attend the opening ceremony of ifd-Becas did find Xiaohui, but it was obviously more important for the half-spiritual girl to come here to find Li Zheng.
Xiaohui just shook her head. She still had to find Li Zheng here, and the usual way was not threatening to her.
"Hey, Yugi, come and see, this is so cheap!" Jonouchi's noisy voice came from not far away-Guam is known as the "heaven of duty-free shopping", which opened Jonouchi's eyes for the first time. "Don't look at Jonouchi, be careful of impulse buying..."
Dark Yugi switched to the personality of the appearance of Yugi in time, and after this persuasion, Jonouchi seemed to finally decide to leave. After finally leaving the duty-free shop, Xiaohui and her group walked and stopped, and finally returned to the hotel.
"'Sanity Hotel'... this hotel is very famous." Jonouchi looked at the "Travel Guide" in his hand and looked at Xiaohui with some envy, "It is one of the 'top brands' affiliated to the 'Plasido Hotel Alliance', a super hotel famous all over the world... Xiaohui, I am really envious that you can live here."
"They are all the same." The girl replied indifferently - the things that half-spiritual beings can enjoy are very limited, so no matter how luxurious the hotel is, they are all the same in her eyes.
And just before everyone entered the hotel, the security leader who led the team before hurriedly ran to Xiaohui. The situation seemed to be very urgent, so he reported directly to Yugi and others after the girl indicated that it didn't matter...
Five minutes later
"Wait! What did you say before?" Jonouchi and Gozen widened their eyes, "You said that the 'Jessica' who attacked Xiaohui escaped? And she first unlocked the handcuffs, then unlocked the prison door, and then drove a car, a yacht, and a helicopter to escape?"
"Yes." The security captain nodded confidently, "During the period, she also used super fighting skills to kill two of us, and she can also use two guns skillfully - just two imitation guns stolen from a roadside stall can stop more than a dozen of us."
"This kind of guy who knows everything appeared in Guam..." Gozen, Yugi and Jonouchi looked at each other, and this familiar feeling made them feel chilled, "Could it be..."
