Who Let Him Play Yu-Gi-Oh! novel Chapter 242

Chapter 242: Chapter 242: A Traitor in the Company? [Bonus]

"This was the last message we received from the professor we sent three days ago."

In a sealed conference room, an image of Tenma Yako sat at one end, looking grave.

"We’ve been investigating the AI hacker incident, and the trail led us to Kazehane City," Yako said seriously. "One of our card professors went to investigate but encountered unexpected resistance.

Now he’s missing."

"Was he attacked?" Mokuba asked, frowning.

Seto Kaiba replied, "Understood. KaibaCorp will investigate as well."

"No, that’s just it, President Kaiba," Yako said, lowering his voice. "Before he disappeared, our card professor’s last message mentioned certain dark duelists.

Assassin-duelists for hire, the kind who take jobs for money."

"So your man was taken out by a killer?" Mokuba asked.

"That’s what we believe. We cross-checked his last message, tracked the money trail, and unexpectedly found out who was paying..."

"Who?" Mokuba pressed.

Yako paused.

"...KaibaCorp."

Seto Kaiba’s eyes narrowed slightly.

"Impossible," Mokuba said. "We’ve never done anything like that!"

"I believe you," Yako nodded.

Mokuba was taken aback.

"You mean..."

"There’s a traitor inside KaibaCorp."

Kaiba said quietly, with a contemptuous smirk, as if it was nothing.

"I’ll handle this personally," Kaiba said coldly. "I have a score to settle with the one behind this."

"Sounds like you know something?" Yako asked.

"Just a hunch. I’ll let you know when I’m sure," Kaiba replied.

"I understand." Yako nodded. "Good luck, President Kaiba."

With that, his hologram vanished.

Mokuba stood up. "So, we’re going to Kazehane City?"

"Yes. We need to take care of this ourselves," Kaiba replied calmly.

"Makes sense..."

Mokuba thought for a moment.

"But I promised Kira I’d let him know if we made progress—after all, he’s a target too. Should we bring him in?"

Kaiba thought for two seconds.

Then gave a dismissive chuckle.

"Do as you like."

...

For Kira, the duel with Jaden wasn’t just a match. Jaden didn’t care much about being a representative, and neither did Kira. What mattered most was the duel itself.

He’d already expected this duel would give him new insights—maybe even a breakthrough after all his study and practice this semester.

And he was right—maybe even more than he hoped.

During the duel, he felt infected by Jaden’s passion, as if he couldn’t help but immerse himself more deeply in every draw, every attack and exchange—not just calculating each move, or focusing on winning or losing.

All the theories in the world can’t match the lessons of real dueling. This mysterious feeling can’t be taught in class, or by any master—it has to be experienced, with heart and body.

He had no proof, but Kira felt like he’d just broken through a limit as if his skills had leveled up. Even his bond with his Duel Spirit felt closer.

It even led him to a new idea—maybe it was time to try something he’d never dared before:

—Mixing different archetypes together.

Maybe that’s the step you need to become truly top-tier in this world. Combining archetypes brings more possibilities, raises a deck’s ceiling, and reduces the chance of being locked out of a duel.

Of course, a deck that "can out anything" is still impossible—only with custom cards could you get that, and that’s another level altogether.

For now, it was just an idea. He’d need time to test and build it.

But only a day after this idea, his friends greeted him with fiery enthusiasm.

Misawa handed him his ace card: "Take my Water Dragon. It’s a killer against FIRE monsters—if you face any, it’ll be a game changer!" freēwebnovel.com
