Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 1150

Chapter 1150: Chapter 1150: A Simple Shadow Game

"Game?"

Clark frowned slightly, at a loss for what this Goodwin was after.

"Yes, a simple game. Not even really a game—just something very easy."

Kira pulled out a die, placed it flat on the table.

"We’ll use this die for a game of high or low. If I roll higher, you answer my question and reveal the secrets of the perpetual motion engine.

If your roll is higher, I swear not to pursue anything further. Whatever favors you need from the Sector Security—if it’s within my ability, I, Goodwin, will refuse none.

How about it?"

At first, Clark thought it absurd, but his gaze lingered on the die in Kira’s hand for a moment—and he started to feel slightly tempted.

He deliberated for a couple of seconds: "Just one roll? That simple?"

"That simple."

Clark narrowed his eyes.

He didn’t know what madness had gripped Goodwin, but rolling a die was no trouble. His chances of winning were five out of six. If, as Goodwin promised, he won, then the Director’s backing could be very useful in this city—far more useful than Iliaster, which treated them as tools rather than true protectees.

As for losing? He’d just keep up the act. Even if he promised to reveal everything, who could say which secrets were true? He could just feign ignorance or mix in a few lies—how would Goodwin know the difference?

"Alright, since you’re in the mood, Director, I’ll give it a try." Clark pushed up his glasses, smiling.

Got him.

Kira narrowed his eyes.

As expected, this man seems unfamiliar with the concept of a Shadow Game.

No surprise—by the 5D’s era, Shadow Games had far less presence than in the previous series. Only the early Dark Signers seemed to play them—and only by dueling, not all the bizarre games from the original.

But in the original, true Shadow Game experts didn’t need a duel to play a Shadow Game, nor did the stakes have to be life and death. Game type and wagers could vary.

Sometimes, all you needed was a simple die.

"Alright, then. I’ll go first—oh, I mean, time to roll!"

Clark threw the die. It spun twice across the table and stopped.

A six.

"Heh, looks like luck’s on my side, Director." Clark grinned, "It seems I win."

"Impressive. But as legendary duelists often say, you never know the duel’s result until the very end—even if it’s only a dice game..."

Kira flicked the die with his thumb; it arced through the air, spinning wildly.

Clark watched, eyes smiling.

He had a five-in-six chance. The only way Kira could tie was to roll another six. And even then, they’d just reroll.

"Nani?!"

The next moment, Clark’s eyes went wide. The die...split open!
