Chapter 7 Mixed Fish and Dragons
Bekas, a private island nestled in the Pacific Ocean.
Coming to this island again, Li Bai soon discovered that it was countless times more lively than the last time she saw it.
"Miss Seahorse, there is news that your mysterious deck was actually specially made for you by Mr. Clofodor, is this true?"
"It's not like that, it's ......"
"Miss Seahorse, can you tell us how you feel about your defeat of the former undefeated king Becas J. Crofodor, who they said relied on improper means to ......?"
"Miss Seahorse, can you show us your peculiar deck?"
"What's your take on the news that this meeting will deprive you of access to those unique cards?"
"Miss Seahorse......
"Excuse me......"
"No comment!" Li Bai frowned, and angrily squeezed away the various instruments that were blocking her from flashing spotlights and the reporters who were still chattering to her for answers, "I won't accept any interviews related to this matter until the results of the meeting come out, and you don't need to ask me questions about similar questions, so please get out of the way!" â
What the hell! She cursed in secret.
It seems that the media is very annoying everywhere, especially for those who don't want to be famous but have to do so.
"It's rare, Seto." Muto leaned against the frame of the louvered floor-to-ceiling window in the hall, and looked strangely at the girl who was surrounded by another wave of media not far away.
"Didn't you even go to help Bai out?"
"It is rumored that staying with a fool for a long time will reduce a person's original intelligence." Seahorse sat on the sofa, his hands staggered to support his head, and replied to the game without looking back, "It seems that even you can't avoid this law, game." â
Seeing that those annoying reporters still didn't let Li Bai go, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly.
ââŚâŚ She had to learn to face it on her own, whether it was my sister or just herself, and it was something that had to be experienced. â
"I can't help her with this, and I won't help her."
ââŚâŚ You think a lot. The game looked at the man with some surprise.
Compared to when we first met, he has changed a lot...... The game recalls the first time he meets the seahorse: domineering, vitriol, and gloomy and cunning...... Compared to what it looks like now, it's an unreasonable guy.
"It depends, do you really intend to train her as a successor...... Or at least the deputy. The game raised his head slightly to look at Li Bai, "Don't forget, she's not an adult yet." â
"These are our group's own internal affairs, and I think I have the right not to answer you." Seahorse glanced at the guy who had defeated him unhappily, and he had been haunted by that defeat.
"Compared to that, I feel like you're the one who should be restraining your foolish friends." He glanced across the hall.
There's also a small wave of media crowds there.
"Mr. Jouchi? What do you think of your performance in the last Duelist Kingdom Cup? A beautiful blonde reporter was pointing the microphone at the city, and from this angle, she was almost pasted up.
"You know, you even lost the runner-up in the Japanese competition...... Although it only ended up in the semi-finals, this record is very good for a rookie who is just starting out...... Do you have any tips? â
"Uh...... What's this...... If you ask me now, I can't tell you clearly...... The secret or something, in fact, there is no zĂ i......"
"Could you please tell us what you think of the champion, the young lady?"
The beautiful reporter also seemed to know that with her little body, she couldn't squeeze into Li Bai's side at all, so she simply gave up the interview with her, and instead focused on the more inexperienced Jonai, after all, although this man looked poor and sour, he was indeed a duelist who advanced to the top four, and this alone was enough for her to make up an article...... And with the fact that she is also in the top four, she may be able to pull out some news about Li Bai, so she will make a lot of money.
"White? For her dueling...... I feel ......"
Chengnai was stared at by the other party's moist eyes, and his nose was filled with a strong smell of feminine perfume, plus the reporter kept leaning on him...... He couldn't tell who was who.
"The castle is really ......"
"I can't believe I've ever known him...... It's a shame. â
Honda and Kyoko stood aside, watching their friends excitedly interact with the reporter with black lines, and giggle from time to time.
"It's just inexperienced, seahorse." The game looks at this scene and shakes his head.
"I think this should be the first time he has seen such a big battle, and it is inevitable that he will be a little excited."
"The same should be true for Shiro, right?" Seahorse couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, and he turned his gaze back to see a very interesting scene.
"It seems...... Some things are meant by nature. â
The girl seemed to have been asked a very rude question just now, and actually reached out directly and pointed at the questioner's nose and fired a fierce fire, who was forced by her power at the moment, and bent his neck and did not dare to move.
Other reporters looked at him gloatingly, and even laughed at him -- the competition in the journalist profession is fierce, and they wish they had as few rivals as possible for their own news.
"I think you understand what I mean, gentleman?"
Li Bai slowly lowered her raised arm, her chest was still rising and falling violently, which showed that the question just now made her angry.
"If I can't see your apology on the front page of The Sun early tomorrow morning, then I guarantee that Haima Group will never invite your reporter to a press conference in the future, and no Haima Group employee will be interviewed by you! Did you hear me clearly!? â
The girl stared at him with angry eyes, and the reporter looked at the bright red of her eyes like blood, and shivered involuntarily, and couldn't even speak for a while.
"I can guarantee her words."
At this time, Seahorse Seto got up from the sofa, and after going around the city, he loudly proclaimed his position: "Like me, she can also represent the entire Seahorse Group, okay...... You go on. â
Even that one spoke...... It seems that the Sun has to admit it even if it pinchs its nose this time......
The surrounding reporters watched the poor colleague swallow their saliva and refocused their eyes on Li Bai, and they found that this girl, who originally seemed to be a good talker, was a little different from what they had imagined...... A different set of standards will need to be applied to her in the future - no one wants to miss the money printing machine of the future!
Age less than 17 years old...... The heavyweights of the Haima Group...... The second-in-command of the Seahorse family...... Defeat Bekas's supreme strength...... An incredible magical card, and a beautiful girl in itself...... Her future is limitless, and it is foreseeable that this is another figure who will inevitably become a newsmaker! They are not as stupid as the reporters of the Sun, and they took the initiative to hit the muzzle of the gun!
Doesn't that cut off your future?
ââŚâŚ Yes...... Maybe......"
The game was a little crying and laughing, and he could see clearly the defiant look in the seahorse when he sat down just now.
Scold...... This guy still holds a grudge against me.
He tilted his head and put all the weight of his head on the window, his whole body relaxed, intending to rest.
Thanks to his brains, he found such a good position from the beginning, and although the reporters were also eager to come and interview him, they were forced by the seahorse to be here...... For a while, few people harassed him, but there was a different kind of people, who would come to him from time to time to do something more in-depth than an interview.
"You're Muto Games, aren't you?" A red-haired teenager walked over and pointed to the game, "I'm going to challenge you!" â
"I didn't expect Becas to offer such an expensive ticket...... There are still more than half a hundred duelists coming here...... This is already the fourth, right? game, do you need me to lend you a dueling board? â
So far, the duelists who have come to challenge have chosen all the targets of the game, and none of them have challenged the seahorse, and it seems that they all think that the threat of the game that has lost Axzodia is greatly reduced...... Seahorse laughed a little sinisterly, and it was rare for him to find consecutive opportunities to laugh at this opponent.
"Hmph, if it's still a real product, forget it, and there's no place to show it here." Being challenged one after another, the game is also a little annoying, he and the seahorse are in the same place, and the occurrence of this situation obviously means that he is underestimated.
In addition to the reporters, there were also many duelists standing inside and outside the hall, all of whom came at their own expense, and many of them were white, who seemed to use this trial as an opportunity to challenge and make up for the absence of the Duelist Kingdom last time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet for a moment!" Theros, dressed as a butler, appeared in the noisy hall, clapping his hands vigorously to draw everyone's attention.
"The discussions between Mr. Becas and several of the Board members have been concluded, and some of them will now be formally selected to enter the Chamber." He looked around and said in a steady tone, "I want to ...... The biggest purpose and questions of your trip can be answered there. â
ââŚâŚ So if you don't calm down, I won't be able to pronounce your names clearly. â
The hall burst into laughter, and the tense atmosphere suddenly disappeared into invisibility, and everyone was amused by his words.
"All right, the delegates whose names I read are to enter the conference hall from this corridor behind me, where there is a nameplate with your names written on it, and you can take a seat."
"Mr. Terros." Li Bai's name was read at the end, and she walked up to the middle-aged housekeeper and stretched out her hand to him with a smile.
But to her surprise, Theros didn't hold it, but just opened her arms and gave her a big hug.
"Long time no see, my child." The middle-aged housekeeper hugged the girl deeply, and then let go.
"I know you're probably tired of hearing it...... But I still have to say - thank you for the reminder! Otherwise, the owner would not have been able to sit there healthily today. â
Bekas's survival was due to Li Bai's credit, and thanks to her informing the faithful butler in advance, he was able to be treated in the first place, for which Teros has always been grateful.
He had no family and had been serving his master in the castle for almost a decade, and if Becas died unexpectedly, it would be the biggest blow to him, because it would not only mean the loss of his sustenance, but also his dereliction of duty.
"I just did what I could......" Li Bai gasped, the hug just now was really strong enough.
"Alright, let's talk about that later, let's go to the conference hall!" Teros smiled at her, then turned sideways and held his arm up in the corridor behind him, "You're the protagonist of the day, don't make everyone wait." â
"Good luck."
ââŚâŚ Thank you. â
The girl thanked her and walked down the hallway, and just before entering the hallway, she casually looked up and saw a strangely dressed girl standing in the crowd of duelists.
Duelists who came at their own expense were not allowed to participate in the trial, and most of the names that were previously read were reporters from well-known media outlets or editors of well-known magazines, as well as representatives of the world's top magic and witchcraft card groups, so they had to stand outside and wait.
The brunette girl just now...... Is that kind of dress a sacrifice or something?
It's a strange thing to dress up like that in the modern world.
Thinking about this question a little strangely, Li Bai walked into the conference hall.
