"Everyone, long time no see! From the looks of you, it seems like something is troubling you," Kisaragi said.
"That's right. During the Doma incident, Pegasus brought us here, and now we don't know how to get back," Joey said.
"That's a small matter. I'll have someone arrange a private KaibaCorp plane to take you back," Kisaragi said.
"Thank goodness!"
Everyone's expressions immediately relaxed.
"Kisaragi, Mokuba, what are you two doing here? Shouldn't you be at KaibaCorp right now?" Téa asked.
"Well, although we recovered KaibaCorp's shares, the stock price is still low, and the public remains skeptical of the company. So Seto plans to open Kaiba Land here and hold a world-class duelist championship. The duelists participating will all be famous duelists from around the world, which should help attract public attention."
"That's why Kaiba hopes you'll participate too. Especially Yugi and Joey, since you were both semifinalists in Battle City," Kisaragi said.
"But for something like this, shouldn't Kaiba come personally to ask us? Why did he send you?" Joey said.
"That's because big brother—" Mokuba started to say, only for Kisaragi to stop him.
"Joey, if you keep prying and teasing Kaiba, believe me, I can make you swim from this country all the way back to Domino City."
Although Kisaragi was smiling, there was no trace of amusement in her eyes.
Joey shuddered and quickly pressed his palms together, lowering his head.
"Sorry. My bad. I'll participate in the championship."
Kisaragi nodded, then looked at Yugi.
"Yugi, will you participate?" she asked.
Yugi did not answer directly. Instead, he asked, "Will you be participating too?"
"Of course. I'm the Duel King, and I'm also part of KaibaCorp. With me participating, the event will definitely attract more attention," Kisaragi said.
"Then I withdraw from this championship," Yugi said.
Yugi's answer stunned everyone present.
"Yugi, why won't you participate?" Téa asked.
"Yeah, Yugi. You're a duelist second only to Kisaragi. Wouldn't it be a waste if you didn't join?"
"Yugi, what are you thinking? Is it because of me?" Kisaragi asked.
At that moment, Yugi's Millennium Puzzle lit up, and the Pharaoh appeared.
"Kisaragi, of course I want to face you again. But ever since I saw your duel with Dartz, I realized there is still a great gap between you and me. So I want to wait until I recover my true memories. Then I will challenge you. When that time comes, I will use my complete self to defeat you," the Pharaoh said.
"I understand, Yugi. I respect your decision. Besides, I also believe that our duel shouldn't happen now. Once you recover your memories, I'll duel you with everything I have," Kisaragi said.
"If Yugi isn't participating, then I'll compete in his place," Rebecca said. "I'm the former American champion, so I should be qualified, right?"
"Of course. The more famous the duelists who participate, the better it is for KaibaCorp."
After saying that, Kisaragi glanced at Mokuba.
Mokuba understood immediately and took out two invitations, handing them to Joey and Rebecca.
"When the time comes, please show everyone your best dueling," Mokuba said.
"Leave it to us!" Joey said, patting his chest.
"All right. I'll take you to Kaiba Land. Before the tournament begins, everyone can enjoy themselves properly," Kisaragi said.
Everyone nodded and boarded the helicopter with Kisaragi.
In a private forest estate stood a luxurious castle. A large group of maids waited respectfully beside an ornate bath carved with elaborate patterns, waiting for their master to finish bathing.
The bath was filled with flower petals, and a young man with long pink hair was relaxing inside.
At that moment, a butler entered and walked to the side of the bath.
"Mr. Zigfried, you have mail."
"I see."
Zigfried rose from the bath with a smile. A maid beside him naturally draped a bath towel over his body.
Zigfried walked to the terrace and lay down on a lounge chair that had already been prepared. He pressed a button on the computer sitting on the nearby table.
The screen lit up, displaying an invitation from KaibaCorp to the KC Grand Prix.
"The KC Grand Prix, is it?"
Zigfried picked up a rose beside the computer.
"Seto Kaiba, you still don't know this, but the event meant to bring KaibaCorp back to life will become your fatal wound."
After saying that, Zigfried slapped the rose against the screen displaying Kaiba's image. The rose burst apart, scattering petals everywhere.
"Mr. Zigfried, there is one more matter I need to report," the butler beside him said.
"Speak."
"Regarding the white-haired woman beside Seto Kaiba, she is not only the winner of Battle City, but also the winner of the Duelist Kingdom tournament hosted by Pegasus. She personally defeated Pegasus, the creator of Duel Monsters, and as a result, Pegasus granted her sixty percent of Industrial Illusions' shares. Therefore, that woman owns shares in both KaibaCorp and Industrial Illusions."
"Furthermore, according to reports, Seto Kaiba's relationship with this woman is unusual. If we make an enemy of KaibaCorp at this time, we may be targeted by both companies simultaneously," the butler said.
"What does that matter? If that woman loses in this tournament, Industrial Illusions will likely abandon her as well. And because of her loss, both companies will be disgraced. I have faith in my younger brother's strength," Zigfried said.
"Prepare everything. We're leaving for Kaiba Land."
"Yes. I will arrange the plane immediately."
The butler bowed behind Zigfried and left.
"Heh heh heh. I'm looking forward to this KC Grand Prix more and more."
Rumble, rumble!
Kisaragi and Mokuba brought Yugi's group to Kaiba Land. From the helicopter, everything visible—and even some things less obvious—was filled with Blue-Eyes White Dragon elements.
The roller coaster, Ferris wheel, merry-go-round, and even the benches where visitors rested all featured the image of Blue-Eyes White Dragon.
Although Kisaragi had mentally prepared herself, actually seeing it in person was still a little hard to accept.
"Seto, that guy… I really can't deal with him," Kisaragi said, holding her forehead.
"I've got to say, this really is Kaiba. To think he built such a huge amusement park," Tristan said.
"Darling, let's go on a date here!" Rebecca said, hugging Yugi's arm.
"I want to go on a date with Yugi too…"
Téa looked at Rebecca with resentment, only to suddenly realize what she had said. Her face turned red, and she immediately returned to normal.
