Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds: Duellists Beyond the Light 49

Chapter 49: Power

On a bench in the Satellite High-Speed Dueling Arena, You Qing rested while listening to Hanster’s enthusiastic recommendation.

This peer from Neo Domino City clearly possessed a naiveté and enthusiasm unusual for this place. From his words, You Qing could tell he was also disappointed with the current city system, but he held even greater hope and expectation for the future.

You Qing pondered for a while, ultimately deciding to accept the request.

The Security Management Bureau was certainly an organization hated by countless people, but to survive in this place, strength was paramount, and this job with the Security Management Bureau would provide him with that strength!

After You Qing finished his phone call, Hanster smiled and said, “Then let’s meet in Red-Eye Street in a few days, You Qing.”

“Red-Eye Street?” You Qing was taken aback. He had just returned from that place—the territory of the Wildfire Team and Chiyan Ling Shi.

Hanster nodded and smiled, “That’s right. Now that you’ve agreed, I might as well tell you.”

“Actually, the deputy director of the Security Management Bureau is too lazy to train his subordinates.”

“His purpose in sending me here and recruiting you is simply to train his rumored illegitimate son.”

“He wants to send his son to Neo Domino City to become a top professional D-Wheel racer, so he’s willing to spend a fortune to hire someone for training.”

You Qing had already guessed it.

Combining the deputy director’s surname and the Wildfire Team’s audacity in ignoring the Security Management Bureau, he concluded that the so-called illegitimate son was Chiyan Ling Shi!

“If he can hire you, why can’t he just send his son away?” But You Qing still had some doubts.

Hanster chuckled helplessly, “First, Neo Domino City has many D-Wheel mechanics more skilled than me. Even though I’ve participated in Duel King D-Wheel modifications, I only played a small role. Getting me here wasn’t difficult.”

“Second, Neo Domino City rejects anyone from the Satellite area. Even duelists face discrimination and exclusion.”

“Therefore, to completely shed the identity of a Satellite resident and enter Neo Domino City, one can only rely on official arrangements.”

“Officer Chiyan… oh, that’s the deputy director’s simple plan: he wants to use the high-speed dueling competition to send his son to the Upper City.”

“Even if it doesn’t work this year, as long as he’s still in this position, there will be similar competitions in the future until his goal is achieved.”

You Qing nodded thoughtfully, “I see…”

During their break, Hanster suddenly remembered the wager from their duel. He unzipped his racing suit, took out a card case, and began searching through it.

After this duel, Hanster’s impression of You Qing had greatly improved.

He had been searching for a skilled driver, a top racer who could help him test D-Wheels, and this time, he had found one!

To truly befriend You Qing, he carefully searched his spare cards, hoping to find a Synchro Monster suitable for You Qing’s deck that wasn’t too cheap.

But You Qing’s gaze wasn’t on the cards; he was captivated by a photo on the card case. It was a heartwarming group photo showing Hanster and two adorable children…

Those were… Yusei and Akari?!

You Qing’s pupils constricted.

Hanster was related to these two children?

Upon seeing the “Power Tool Dragon” deck during their duel, You Qing had speculated, but while “Power Tool Dragon” decks were expensive, they weren’t exactly unique, so he dismissed the idea.

But now, seeing this photo, he finally confirmed that this Hanster had a special relationship with Yusei, the “Power Tool Dragon” deck user from the original story!!

“Aha! Found it! This one will definitely do!” Hanster wiped the sweat from his brow. Noticing You Qing’s gaze, he said with a smile, “They’re very cute, aren’t they? They call me ‘uncle.’ They’re two adorable kids…”

You Qing was surprised, “Uncle?”

“Yes.” Hanster sighed, “Their names are Yusei and Akari. Their mother is my sister. But my sister and brother-in-law have very demanding jobs, so most of the time, they’re at home alone…”

“By the way, You Qing, this is the card you won.”

“I hope it will help you in the future.”

You Qing was about to take and examine the card when his phone rang. It was a call from Crow.

He glanced at the time on his phone; it was almost dark, and he had to prepare for tonight’s underground duel.

In a hurry, he could only put the card away and bid Hanster a cheerful farewell.

Riding his D-Wheel out of the Satellite High-Speed Dueling Arena and standing at the entrance, You Qing answered Crow’s call: “Hello… Ah, I’m fine, Chiyan Ling Shi didn’t do anything to me… Uh-huh, I’ll be right back, and I have some good news for you… Hey, I’ll tell you when I get back. No time to talk now, I’m heading back!”

“Where do you think you’re going, you scum?”

Just as You Qing hung up the phone, a familiar gruff voice came from nearby. It was Ushio!

Ever since he was threatened by his superior for letting You Qing escape, Ushio had been looking for a reason to arrest You Qing. That way, without any incriminating evidence, he could complete his work without restriction.

After some tracking and investigation, Ushio was delighted to discover that You Qing was involved with the underground duel arena in the No-Man’s-Land.

So, after gathering some evidence, he came to make the arrest with great excitement.

Ushio arrogantly tossed a pair of handcuffs, sneering, “What? Still trying to run? But this time, I won’t give you a chance to duel! Cuff yourself and come with me for questioning!”

Looking at the group of white-clad officers in their white vehicles, You Qing smiled calmly, “Forget it, Officer Ushio. Even without a duel, you can’t arrest me.”

“What did you say?” Ushio narrowed his eyes.

You Qing had a plan.

Since he was hired by the Security Management Bureau’s deputy director to be a coach, even a small officer like Ushio wouldn’t dare touch him, being connected to the deputy director.

He only needed to reveal this trump card, and Ushio would have to leave with his men.

You Qing was about to speak when he saw the assistant secretary from earlier. He seemed to have just finished his work and was adjusting his necktie while returning to the Satellite High-Speed Dueling Arena. Upon seeing You Qing, especially You Qing being blocked by Ushio, the assistant immediately rushed over.

“Officer Ushio, what business do you have with our consultant, Mr. You Qing?” The assistant’s tone was stiff and cold.

Ushio was astonished, “You… what did you say?! You Qing… consultant?!”
