# Chapter 34: Seto's Dragon
Taking the elevator down to the first floor, Hayato jogged out of KaibaCorp Tower with the unconscious Grandpa Solomon on his back. As soon as they exited the main entrance, Téa spotted a black luxury sedan parked directly in front of the tower.
"That's the car," Hayato said, pulling one hand free to raise and wave it. "Hey, come over here and give us a hand!"
As soon as Hayato called out, Téa saw a guy with a low-key hairstyle get out from the side of the black sedan and reply towards Hayato, "Don't order Yours Truly around!"
"Manjoume Shouji?" Téa had expected the transportation Hayato found might be a ridiculously expensive taxi, his family's car, or an ambulance from the Hospital, but she never expected Hayato had actually gotten Manjoume Shouji, with whom he'd had a rather unpleasant Duel before?
"Call me Mr. Manjoume!" he corrected reflexively. Manjoume walked forward, looking at Grandpa Solomon on Hayato's back with a shocked expression. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, Hayato Kobayashi, the guy on your back isn't Mutou Yuugi, is he!? Is KaibaCorp researching some kind of life-force draining weapon? How did Mutou Yuugi turn into an old man!?"
"No, no, this is Yugi's grandpa. He fainted because the Solid Vision of the Duel Monsters was too intense," Téa explained. She hadn't expected this guy Manjoume to have such a rich imagination, actually mistaking the white-haired Solomon Muto for Mutou Yuugi who was being subjected to evil experiments.
"Let's not talk so much for now, the most important thing is still to get Grandpa Solomon to the Hospital. It'll be bad if we're late!" Hayato said firmly to Manjoume Shouji. "Manjoume, I still need to ask you to take us to the Hospital."
"So why does Yours Truly have to listen to your commands?" Because of Hayato's firm attitude, Manjoume Shouji was in a bad mood, but looking at the unconscious, weak-faced Solomon Muto, he clicked his tongue in displeasure. "Tch, just this once. Hurry and get this old man into the car."
He and Hayato together lifted Grandpa Solomon into the back seat of the sedan and fastened his seatbelt to prevent secondary injury from sudden braking or acceleration. Téa sat next to Grandpa Solomon , and Manjoume sat in the front passenger seat. But just as Hayato was about to get in, he awkwardly realized the car was full.
"It's full here, the car is a bit small," Manjoume said, fastening his seatbelt. Sitting in the front passenger seat on the left side of the vehicle, he turned his head to look at the back seat. "Hayato Kobayashi, how are you going to get to the Hospital then?"
"You guys go ahead first, I'll get a taxi and follow right after—" Hayato's words were cut short by Téa . "No, Hayato-kun, you stay here at KaibaCorp Tower."
"But Grandpa Solomon needs looking after."
"Manjoume and I will take good care of Grandpa Solomon ," Téa said, ignoring Manjoume's expression from the back seat, which clearly said, "When did I say that?". Téa stared seriously into Hayato's eyes. "Kaiba said his Virtual Imaging System has Impact Simulation added. I'm worried Yugi might also get hurt in the Duel, so someone needs to stay here as a safeguard."
Seeing Téa 's serious expression, although Hayato knew that Yugi's Duel against Kaiba would inevitably be Yugi's victory, he couldn't convince Téa , who was worried about Yugi. "I understand, I'll definitely look after Yugi."
Turning his head to look at Manjoume in the front seat, Hayato said, "Then I'll leave Téa and Grandpa Solomon to you, Mr. Manjoume."
"Ah~" Although he had emphasized it countless times, someone finally called him "Mr." for the first time ever. Manjoume Shouji could barely contain the comfortable expression that was about to spill onto his face. "Yours Truly is Manjoume Shouji, leave such small matters to Yours Truly!"
Watching the black luxury sedan carrying Grandpa Solomon disappear around the distant corner, Hayato stopped watching, turned around, and entered the KaibaCorp Tower once more.
When he arrived at the rooftop again, as soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he could hear a majestic roar coming from inside the enclosed building, as if shaking the heavens and earth.
"ROAR!"
"That sound, has Blue-Eyes already appeared?" Speeding up his steps, he walked into the building. Hayato saw Kaiba and Yugi standing on their respective Duel Platforms, and the White Dragon spitting out a ball of power wrapped in endless gale and radiance from its mouth, the White Dragon that destroyed the Monster on Yugi's Field with a single blow!
Holiness and Power coexisted on the Monster before him. Its massive wings could even cover the sky and block out the sun. Bathed in the debris of the Monster on Yugi's Field after it was Destroyed, the most classic Monster in Duel Monsters history, [Blue-Eyes White Dragon], made its appearance!
"That's Grandpa's Card! But it wasn't just now!" Yugi watched his Life Points rapidly decrease from Blue-Eyes White Dragon's Attack. His body also felt a slight pain from the Impact Simulation System installed in Kaiba's specially made Duel Platform, but his heart was wrapped in mystery.
"Hmph! Mutou Yuugi, you're not the only one in the world who possesses [Blue-Eyes White Dragon]. There are a total of four Blue-Eyes, and a full three of them are gathered in my hands. If I want to reach the top and become the Strongest Duelist, then the fourth Blue-Eyes is the only Monster that can threaten me."
"So, you tore up Ji-chan's precious Card that he treasured like Life Points!" Yugi's expression was frighteningly serious. "To take someone else's treasure just for that reason, you're truly despicable, Kaiba Seto! Betting on my Grandpa's name, and betting on my dignity as a Duelist, I will definitely defeat you!"
Kaiba chuckled lightly. "Anyone can talk big. If you can do it, then go ahead and try, Mu↗tou↘ Yu↗ugi↘!"
Although the anger in his heart was almost turning into substance, the oppressive Power of the [Blue-Eyes White Dragon] on Kaiba's Field was simply too strong. Yugi simply Summoned a Monster in Face-Down Defense Position and ended his Turn.
"Cry to your heart's content before [Blue-Eyes], wail, and then die!" Kaiba ordered Blue-Eyes to Attack without hesitation. Among the current Duel Monsters, very few Monsters can resist Blue-Eyes. And his Attack was indeed successful. The Monster Yugi Set was Destroyed in one blow by the Burst Stream of Destruction, symbolizing ruin, spat out by [Blue-Eyes White Dragon].
"[Blue-Eyes] is the strongest Monster Card in the world, and I, who possess three Blue-Eyes simultaneously, am the Strongest Duelist. Come, Yugi, please me with the wails you make as you try to climb over a high mountain but lose your footing and fall into a cliff! Just like that old man." Kaiba repeatedly provoked Yugi's nerves.
"The screams your Monster makes when Destroyed by Blue-Eyes are truly pleasant to hear. Just by standing here, I can hear that old man's dying gasps!"
"Damn it, my Turn!"
Angrily drawing a Card, Yugi's expression froze. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Hayato, who was watching from the side. This Card, is it the one Hayato gave me?
