Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 1163

Chapter 1163: Chapter 1163: Sherry

As Ushiō’s bellow set off panic, everyone in the intelligence department raced to the exits.

"Everyone, calm down."

A voice echoed from the ceiling.

It was a composed voice, but as it reached each listener’s ears, it felt imbued with some extraordinary power, instantly soothing their panic.

Looking up, they saw Director Rex Goodwin’s image floating midair by a holographic projector, his expression serene.

"It’s just a prank."

Kira addressed everyone through the projection.

"No need to worry."

Ushiō was stunned, hesitating, "But, Director... there really was an explosion just now—"

"There was only one bomb, and it was outside in an unimportant area. It caused no real damage."

Kira stated calmly.

"They only planted that single bomb; the rest is all bluff. Our specialists are handling it—there’s nothing to worry about."

With that, the projection ended.

Staff glanced at each other, shrugging helplessly.

Moments later, Ushiō spread his hands. "Well, the Director said so... let’s just get back to work, everyone."

...

Sherry LeBlanc was far from pleased.

Nothing was going according to plan.

Originally, Elsworth was supposed to sneak in and plant a trojan program, then trigger a bomb threat to flush people out; she’d use the distraction to "borrow" the Security’s supercomputer.

But up till now, Elsworth hadn’t returned, nor had there been a single sign from him. She had to assume the worst—he’d likely been caught.

So she changed plans, triggered the bomb herself, and prepared to infiltrate—hopefully even rescue Elsworth if possible.

But even after the bomb threat, the Security showed no real reaction. Sherry grew more and more irritable.

What’s with you people? Aren’t you even the least bit afraid? There’s a bomb! I said there are bombs in your building—how can you stay so calm?

A mellow, magnetic male voice rang from behind her: "Found you."

Sherry spun around warily—somehow, several people had silently closed in on her. She hadn’t noticed them at all.

She saw: the Security Director, Rex Goodwin; a beautiful girl with rose-colored hair; and—

Elsworth?

Sherry was stunned.

Elsworth—what are you doing with the enemy!?

Kira glanced at Elsworth, "There was only one bomb, right? Just a bluff?"

Elsworth wavered, but then nodded, "Yes. We only prepared that one bomb. We never intended to hurt anyone. Our sole goal was to use the Security’s supercomputer, so we wanted to clear the building by deception—"

"Elsworth!"

Sherry cried out in shock.

"Even you betrayed me!?"

The man who had risked his life to save her from the enemy’s bullets, who’d brought her up like a second father—could even he betray her?

Sherry’s heart froze.

If even this could happen, what else in the world was left to trust?

Elsworth wept, "Forgive me, my lady, but I really had no choice..."
