In the central conference room on the top floor of the Tianhai Group.
"Dad, I've brought You Feng," Ma Qingxue said as she knocked on the door.
"Come in," Jack Ma's voice drifted from inside.
When You Feng and Ma Qingxue entered, they found Jack Ma staring intently at an ancient, golden stone tablet. He seemed to be trying his hardest to discern some kind of secret from its surface.
You Feng's eyes trembled the moment he saw it. Wasn't that the ancient Millennium Stone associated with the Millennium Items?
Why would the stone tablet of the Millennium Items exist here? This world shouldn't have anything as powerful as those artifacts.
The reason You Feng was so certain they shouldn't exist was based on his understanding of this world since his arrival. Although cards like Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes White Dragon existed here, their support cards were almost non-existent. This meant that the complete decks for those two cards had never fully appeared in this parallel world.
The two powerful figures represented on the stone tablet were, naturally, Yugi and Kaiba.
Logically, the corresponding Millennium Stone shouldn't have existed either. Its sudden appearance left him utterly stunned.
"You Feng, do you know what this is?" Jack Ma turned around to look at him, his voice calm.
"I'm not entirely sure." You Feng naturally wouldn't reveal what he knew. How would he even explain such knowledge? Besides, he wasn't sure if speaking out would help or hinder him.
"I excavated this ancient tablet a long time ago," Jack Ma said. "Though I still don't know what those seven strange indentations are for, the two monsters depicted in the patterns are precisely Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Dark Magician. Therefore, this stone is definitely related to Duel Monsters."
Jack Ma seemed to have guessed that You Feng might not know, but he had asked just in case. After all, You Feng had summoned many monsters that even a man of his vast experience had never seenincluding a supreme God!
That wasn't just You Feng's way of describing it; the card's actual attribute was DIVINE!
"The reason I asked you here today was partly to show you this stone, but also because I intend to buy that Egyptian God Card in your hand!" Jack Ma had a checkbook ready.
"I plan to buy that card from you for one billion! That amount of money is enough for you to do whatever you want." Jack Ma had already prepared the billion-dollar check.
You Feng blinked. He hadn't expected that buying an Egyptian God Card was Jack Ma's primary objective.
A billionthat was an astronomical figure. If it were his old world before he came to this parallel world, You Feng might have been tempted. But things were different now.
In a world where Duels decided everything, he could create infinite possibilities. Furthermore, for an Egyptian God Card, a billion was actually a low price. It was a priceless treasure; without exaggeration, if he were to put it up for auction, it could fetch at least ten billion!
But You Feng had no intention of doing that. He had enough money for his needs. Any more than that was just scrap paper.
If he started selling the cards from his own deck, the Bonds between him and his cards would be severely compromised. There was no doubt about that.
"I'm sorry, but I don't plan on selling the Egyptian God Card," You Feng said, shaking his headeven though he actually possessed three of them.
"How much would it take? Name a price, and I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Jack Ma seemed determined to have it.
"It's not about the amount. I wouldn't sell an Egyptian God Card for any price," You Feng replied firmly.
"Sigh, what a pity. It's rare to see a monster card with the DIVINE Attribute. Very well. If you find any information regarding this stone, I hope you can provide it to me. I will reward you handsomely." Seeing that You Feng had made up his mind, Jack Ma didn't press the matter further.
"I may not be entirely sure about it, but I must say this: that stone seems to be an ill omen. I advise you not to investigate it any further," You Feng warned.
Just as the words left his mouth, You Feng's eyes suddenly narrowed. He saw something flying toward them through the floor-to-ceiling windows. As he looked closer, he realized it was a large helicopter!
"Get down!!" You Feng shouted, lunging forward to tackle Ma Qingxue to the ground.
She was startled by the sudden move, but Jack Ma also sensed the danger and quickly rolled across the floor.
CRASH!
A pitch-black helicopter smashed through the windows. Shards of glass sprayed everywhere like rain. Several men quickly leaped out from the craft.
"Hehe... the Millennium Stone really is here with Jack Ma!" a voice said in broken Chinese. The speaker wore a black hat and a mask that covered his face, letting out a mocking cackle.
"The BOSS gave the order. Do not harm anyone, just take the Millennium Stone and go!" a cold female voice followed.
In one swift motion, the men wrapped up the Millennium Stone and hauled it into the helicopter.
"The Millennium Stone!" Jack Ma was stunned. He never expected anyone would dare to rob him so flagrantly.
"Hehe, the Millennium Stone isn't something you're meant to possess. Goodbye!" the masked man laughed strangely.
