Chapter 1098 - 1071: Power Left Unused Is Power Lost
"Ahhhhhhhh——"
A piercing scream, as if being torn from the depths of a soul, carrying unimaginable pain and despair. So sharp and trembling that if you only hear the sound, it almost feels like being sliced inch by inch by a blade, or scorched by flames, with every nerve screaming in protest.
The entire audience was shocked into silence. Needless to say about the prison guards here, though the main culprit of abusing authority and mistreating prisoners was this director, yet the remaining guards were far from innocent.
Now, seeing the director’s tragic state, they felt the fear of imminent danger, not daring to meet the officer’s gaze.
The supreme officer named Godwin was like a white-haired demon. At this moment, he appeared in their eyes as the embodiment of all prisoners they had ever tormented.
Not just the guards, even the prisoners felt thrilled while hearing the sound, yet could not help but shiver internally.
Dealing three thousand damage and then burning... Is this really something a normal person can come up with?
Though many people inwardly appreciated this newly appearing officer, they couldn’t help but instinctively fear him.
Not only for such cruel means, but for achieving it and dealing three thousand damage effortlessly, was equally stunning.
The combination of Leaf Fairy and Divine Sword - Phoenix Sword, while not an infinite loop, gave a similar feeling of burning, considered a rare and splendid move among ordinary duelists, with an exhilarating impact like a super move.
Of course, being shocked is expected. They didn’t know that "Divine Sword - Phoenix Sword" as a species-restricted equipment card could only increase by merely three hundred Attack Power, yet held a place in the forbidden card list.
This would puzzle Yu-Gi-Oh! beginners, wondering why this card could make the list. However, if one were flailing around burned like Director Takasumi, they might immediately retract their contempt towards this forbidden card.
Any card on the list is definitely not a pushover.
Such is the case, Director Takasumi was left sprawled on the ground, emitting black smoke, feeling as if there was the burnt smell of roasted flesh nearby...
"It seems this duel just proved your incapability to manage here,"
Yugen put away the Duel Disc, looking at the kneeling Takasumi, saying coldly.
"Also, every illegal act committed during your tenure will be thoroughly investigated; I personally look forward to the investigation results."
Yugen paused, revealing a somewhat dangerous smile again.
"Well, the specific process will be determined according to the evidence and Bureau results. But the final treatment of you... perhaps, you’ll end up being imprisoned in your own facility."
The half-dead Takasumi trembled at these words, lifting his head in terror: "No... Officer, you can’t, if I’m imprisoned here, I won’t last a day... No! Not even an hour!"
"Is that so?"
Yugen chuckled softly.
"Then you should try your best."
"No! Officer, you can’t, no..."
He wanted to struggle, but being half-deadly electrocuted, couldn’t muster any strength? Yugen waved his hand casually, immediately a security guard approached to drag Director Takasumi away.
Use power when you have it; outdated becomes obsolete. In this city, officers can do as they please.
Takasumi’s screams gradually faded away, meanwhile, the eyes of the prisoners in the cells on both sides of the courtyard became lively, with some showing expectations.
Like beasts starved for days catching the scent of prey.
Takasumi, this bastard, might have the chance... to come here?
Wouldn’t that be...
Hey, hehe, heheh...
Won’t that let him enjoy to the fullest?
Yugen turned and addressed the entire courtyard of prisoners, calmly stating.
"As for everyone here, the Public Security Maintenance Bureau will urge the custody department to re-check your incarceration situation. If someone is indeed wrongfully incarcerated, upon verification, you’ll be released."
The prisoners were again stirred, many showing a glimmer of hope, and looked at "Officer Godwin" like he was a savior bringing salvation, seemingly glowing.
Indeed, Yugen wasn’t just speaking empty words; he planned to send someone to conduct reviews. However, he had limited energy and couldn’t personally ensure that every wrongfully imprisoned prisoner was released, which wasn’t his primary purpose for being here. He had more important tasks.
After assigning these, he turned to leave. But upon leaving the courtyard, he gestured to the deputy director responsible for this place from a group of guards.
The deputy director hurried forward obediently, smiling, and asked, "May I ask, Officer, is there anything else I can help with?"
"Nothing much," Yugen replied, "But there’s a man named Yusei Fudo among your prisoners.
I’ll be in the director’s office; have him come to see me alone."
The deputy director promptly responded: "No problem! I’ll send someone... no, I’ll go right away!"
Saying this, he ran out abruptly.
A few minutes later, Yusei Fudo was escorted from his cell, accompanied personally by the deputy director to the director’s office.
This might be the best treatment Yusei had received since leaving the Satellite District. No disdainful glances along the way, and nobody called him "Satellite District trash." The deputy director and leading guards were almost respectful, cautiously delivering him to the office door.
The stark contrast in attitudes compared to previous days puzzled Yusei. He pushed the door into the director’s office, seeing the silver-haired handsome officer already seated behind the desk, a chair set for him.
As Yusei entered the room, he heard the door closing behind him. He glanced at the chair but did not sit, asking: "Officer of the Public Security Maintenance Bureau, why do you want to see me?"
Though he felt grateful to "Officer Godwin" for stepping in earlier, knowing things might have otherwise spiraled out of control, his gratitude wasn’t enough to lower his guard, rather sensing this person might have specific intentions.
Yugen straightforwardly: "Yusei Fudo. I know you dueled with the King at the city center arena before being detained."
Yusei remained silent. It wasn’t surprising; they caused quite a commotion during the duel, and he got arrested by security guards, it’s logical for Officer Godwin to know.
"I heard about the situation back then; it seems your duel with the King summoned the legendary Elf, ’Red Dragon’, in the city, right?"
Yugen paused.
"Are you, the legendary ’Dragon Sealer’, correct?"
