Chapter 217: Present Underworld Police Immediately Dispatch

"Those are, Experimental Models!?" Kaiba's face darkened considerably. He shouted sternly, "Hey, you cowardly rats who dare not show your true faces, where did you steal those scrapped experimental Duel Disks from!"

"Heh heh, Seto Kaiba?" One of the black-robed figures, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke. "Instead of questioning whether we stole them, why don't you question why your KaibaCorp personnel failed to destroy these experimental machines in the first place?"

"Originally, I merely had them bring these useless things along, but now it seems they've truly come in handy. What do you say, Ishizu?" The black-robed figure who was hit by the lamppost said, taking off his hood and revealing a face that was quite unfamiliar to Ishizu, but very familiar to the other three.

"Keith?! How could it be you?" Hayato was very confused. "Weren't you kicked out of Duelist Kingdom by Pegasus?"

"Heh heh heh, Kobayashi Hayato, isn't this man's fate thanks to you?" Keith spoke, but his eyes were hollow, and it was as if he wasn't Keith himself. As he raised his head, a golden Millennium Eye on his forehead was also revealed.

Ishizu finally recognized who she was speaking to at this moment and quickly reminded Hayato, "Mr. Kobayashi, please be careful. The person appearing before you is not the owner of this body. The one controlling him from behind is the leader of the Rare Hunters, and the holder of the Millennium Rod, Marik Ishtar!"

"Marik Ishtar? Then what about you, Ms. Ishizu?" Yugi asked.

Ishizu nodded. "Yes, he is indeed my younger brother, and a member of the Tomb Keepers."

"Heh heh, so I'm a member of the Tomb Keepers again at a time like this, my dear Sister?" Keith said expressionlessly. A scruffy man in his thirties calling a young and beautiful girl like Ishizu 'Sister' looked strange no matter how you looked at it.

"Then, I wonder if I have the right to keep Obelisk the Tormentor for President Kaiba over there? Isn't this precisely the mission of us Tomb Keepers for a thousand years?"

"Tomb Keepers?"

Yugi was about to ask Ishizu something but was interrupted by Kaiba beside him. He said coldly to 'Keith,' "So that's it. Did you go insane because you lost to Pegasus, 'Mind Control'? But daring to set your sights on my Obelisk the Tormentor, you've picked the wrong target."

"Prepare to face the wrath of Blue-Eyes White Dragon!"

Who knows how he interpreted 'Mind Control' as 'going insane'.

Kaiba also activated his Duel Disk, which, along with Yugi's Duel Disk, formed a Field, drawing cards before the others. Due to the rules of the Dark Game, the two black-clothed figures confronting Kaiba and Yugi also had no choice but to raise their Duel Disks and begin the Duel.

While 'Keith' also raised the Duel Disk on his hand, his gaze shifted from Ishizu to Hayato. "So you are Kobayashi Hayato, heh heh, King of Games. Are you also going to be an enemy of us Rare Hunters?"

"Cut the crap. I've already started a Dark Game; are you seriously trying to convince me to join your side?" Hayato drew five cards into his hand from his Deck and looked at Ishizu beside him. "Ms. Ishizu, since this is a Dark Game, I'm afraid I can't go easy on your brother."

"The person here is not Marik himself. Even if he loses the Duel, he likely won't suffer much harm." Ishizu also drew five cards like Hayato. "So, Mr. Kobayashi, it's fine if you go a little hard."

"How heartless, Sister." Keith's face was as stiff as a zombie's. If he couldn't still speak, Hayato would have even suspected that Marik was controlling a corpse. "In that case, I won't hold back either~"

"Duel!"

[Hayato: 4000 LP, Hand 5]

[Ishizu: 4000 LP, Hand 5]

[Keith: 4000 LP, Hand 5]

[Weakling: 4000 LP, Hand 5]

"When facing you, Sister, I absolutely cannot give up the first turn." Although his face looked very stiff, this was still the body of Keith, who bore the name 'Thief.' His card drawing action was very fast, and he seized the first turn.

"I Summon Gear Soldier in Defense Position, then activate its effect. When there are no other monsters on my field, I can Special Summon one 'Gear' monster from my hand."

"I Special Summon Gear Striker."

Two mechanical soldiers appeared neatly on Keith's field and simultaneously took up Defense Position.

"As long as Gear Striker is on the field, you cannot attack other monsters with 'Gear' in their name. I Set two cards. My turn ends." After Setting two cards in his back row, Keith looked expressionlessly at Ishizu. "It's your turn, my dear Sister."

[Keith: 4000 LP, Hand 2]

[Gear Soldier] [DEF 1500]

[Gear Striker] [DEF 800]

[Set Card] X2

'Marik,' Ishizu looked at Keith, calling her brother's name. "Why are you here today?"

"Isn't the answer to that very simple?" Keith glanced back. Kaiba's Dragon Deck was being targeted again with Dragon Capture Jar, while another black-robed figure activated Witch's Strike to get rid of Yugi's Dark Magician.

"That last Egyptian God Card, Obelisk the Tormentor, and the revenge I've longed for. It's rare for these two things to come together, so of course, I couldn't miss such a good opportunity."

Hesitation appeared on Ishizu's face. "Marik, the Pharaoh—"

"Alright, Ishizu, hurry up and start your turn!" Keith impatiently interrupted Ishizu. "Everything that stands in the way of my revenge will be crushed by me, even you, my own Sister!"

"Ms. Ishizu, based on my many years of experience dealing with bratty kids, a three-year-old like this needs a good lesson." Hayato looked at Keith with disdain, glancing at the per☆fect☆ hand he held. *I'll play this card later and give this three-year-old Marik a good time,* he thought to himself.

"My turn, I draw!" Ishizu nodded and drew a card from her Deck. Dueling with a veil on wasn't comfortable at all, so she simply took it off, revealing her full face. "I activate Cost Down from my hand. By discarding one card from my hand, I reduce the Level of a monster in my hand by 2☆."

"Then I use the effect of Executioner Makyura, which was sent to the Graveyard. The turn it is sent to the Graveyard, I can activate one Trap Card from my hand."

"I won't let you activate that card!" Keith seemed very agitated and immediately flipped his Set card. "Mirror of Darkness! As long as this card is on the field, the effects of DARK monsters on the field and in the Graveyard are negated!"

Hayato wasn't surprised at all that Keith, or rather Marik behind Keith, was so wary of the Trap Card Ishizu almost activated. After all, that card was the most notorious card, one that even cast a shadow over an entire era.

Although it wasn't successfully activated, Hayato could guess that Ishizu's card was definitely the legendary Exchange of the Spirit.
