*Chapter 18: Marik Favorability ++++*
Marik had considered this point.
First, the Millennium Items were with his main body, and he couldn't instantly teleport to this city.
Second, Marik sensed a very strong spirit power often lingering around Yousei.
This power was intense.
It likely came from that Silent Magician.
— Forget it. While the main body makes its way to Domino City, he would stay by Yousei's side as a sneaky strategist, conducting a covert evaluation.
Marik wanted to know just how loyal Yu Miao was.
Coincidentally, Yu Miao also had an idea of what Marik was thinking.
Yu Miao began cheating the Sunshine Boy, saying:
"I want to defeat every stronghold leader in Domino City to prove my strength to everyone in the organization..."
"The Rare hunters uphold a great ideal..."
These words conveyed one idea.
I, Yu Miao, want to collaborate with Leader Marik on great endeavors!
The Rare hunters were an infamous counterfeiting group, but in Yu Miao's words, they became a great organization working for the benefit of duelists.
How expensive are real cards?
A single high-ATK Normal Monster costs more than an apartment!!
Many people bankrupt themselves and still can't afford a single card.
But ever since the emergence of the Rare hunters group led by Marik,
Counterfeit cards became more and more numerous, and their prices dropped to ridiculous lows!
It was Marik who achieved "Cards for All"!
Marik, hiding within Keith's body, was being utterly dumbfounded by Yu Miao.
This made Marik doubt his original intentions. Hadn't he established the Rare hunters organization solely for revenge against the Pharaoh?
The reason the Rare hunters chose counterfeiting was because of low cost and to annoy the Nameless Pharaoh.
"Yu Miao, you're right. Leader Marik is truly a person with noble ideals," Keith (Marik) said with a pleased expression, clearly very happy inside.
If this were some kind of evil adult game,
Yu Miao would definitely see Marik's favorability wildly popping up with +5, +4, +3...
Marik felt Yu Miao was right; deep down, he actually leaned towards the light.
The reason he had fallen into darkness now was all the fault of the Nameless Pharaoh!
If not for him, the Tomb Keepers wouldn't have such a tragic fate.
Besides accumulating power to take revenge on the Nameless Pharaoh, his original intention for establishing the organization must have also included the brighter side of his heart.
Watching Keith (Marik) looking all pumped up, Yu Miao wondered:
"Could the Sunshine Boy actually believe this nonsense?"
If the surface Marik was this easy to fool.
Didn't that indirectly prove...
That the six-year-old mental age Dark Marik would be even easier to fool?
Yu Miao seemed to have discovered a new world.
Time to get down to business.
Yu Miao walked to the door and kicked it open.
BANG!
The door was sent flying open.
A rhythmic, pulsing music spilled out from inside.
Keith (Marik), infected by the music, couldn't help but hum a few notes: "The Village People, Y.M.C.A..."
Along with the music came a strong smell of hormones and sweat.
Even Yu Miao couldn't help but be startled by the scene inside.
Scattered pieces of the standard Rare hunters uniform lay on the floor.
Seemingly telling Yu Miao he hadn't come to the wrong place.
Several helpless men were tied to pillars, surrounded by these minimally-clothed musclemen.
One of the musclemen was pacing around the tied men, sniffing the air vigorously and shouting:
"Mmm, this scent is just right~"
"Waaah, don't come any closer!"
"Get away, you damn gays!"
Since Yu Miao was wearing the standard Rare hunters corporate uniform, most of his face was obscured by the hanging black cloth.
These desperate men could only look up and yell: "Squawk, don't touch it!!"
The three of them were about to be affected by the magic card effect known as the "Ultimate Insult".
Yu Miao's expression shifted strangely as he muttered, "So the Ultimate Insult really exists."
The live performance utterly shocked Marik himself.
Did the Rare hunters really have such a perverted stronghold?
Seeing the black uniforms on Yu Miao and Keith (Marik), the musclemen immediately identified them as allies and enthusiastically called out:
"Hehe, every stronghold has its own characteristics."
"Friends, do you want to join the fun?"
With that, some of the musclemen even stuck out their red tongues and licked their lips in a clockwise motion~
As Rare hunters living on the edge, what's wrong with having a few quirks?
So what if they're a bit perverted!
Keith's rugged appearance, unbridled passion, maxed out the uncle power~
Let's have a good time together.
Hahahaha~
These gays set their sights on Keith (Marik), and a few even started getting handsy.
When had Marik, the Sunshine Boy who'd been stuck in Egypt, ever encountered something like this?
Although he was the leader of the Rare hunters, it didn't mean he was worldly.
Marik was shaking with anger and cold. When had he ever suffered such humiliation?
Squawk, don't touch me!
Keith (Marik) felt for his right hand, realizing the Millennium Rod wasn't there, and he couldn't reveal his identity either.
Damn it, he had to endure this!!
— Wait until my main body, the God of War, returns. I'll make sure these guys never come back.
"Get away!"
Yu Miao's roar made the musclemen stop their "lethal weapons". Silver light erupted from his entire body.
Vast spiritual energy began to swirl~
Behind Yu Miao appeared a top-tier Magician spirit with a slender figure and beautiful form.
Silent Magician.
She raised her palm, and a silver energy ball condensed.
BOOM~
Silent Blast!
A wave of scorching heat swept through the entire space.
The minimally-clothed musclemen were sent flying outwards from Yu Miao and Marik as if hit by a Shinra Tensei.
"Yikes, he's an expert?"
"This man possesses formidable power."
"Fall back, quickly!"
The musclemen began watching Yu Miao warily.
Keith (Marik), utterly disgusted, hid behind Yu Miao, his face red.
He saved me in a critical moment. Yousei is truly a talent.
Marik Favorability: +1, +1, +1, +1
Yu Miao activated the Duel Disk on his wrist, took a step forward, and said in an extremely arrogant tone:
"I have only one goal today."
"Call out the strongest duelist among you!"
Faced with such arrogant words, the musclemen had the urge to charge up and teach Yousei a lesson.
But hindered by the powerful energy emanating from Yu Miao, they suppressed their inner fury.
Then.
An intense aura was released.
The present musclemen looked tense, slowly moving aside to clear a path.
At the end, seated on a chair, was a woman estimated to be over 2 meters tall.
Formidable muscles, a healthy dark tan, the scar on her face adding to her ferocity.
This appearance was practically a match for the tiger-woman from another world that "Bastion Misawa" had a crush on during the GX era.
Full of ambition and fighting spirit.
