Chapter 683: Underworld Time Update (12)

Just as Hayato and Marik encountered Camus, at the same time, whether it was Joey Wheeler and Tristan who had gone to the Cockpit, or Yugi and Téa who remained in the Aircraft Cabin with the injured, they all encountered their attackers.

Although no one was injured by the assassins' attacks for the moment, as they were acting in pairs and each pair had a certain amount of Combat Power, what surprised everyone was that their attackers weren't Invaders wearing strange clothes, but rather the Flight Attendants wearing work clothes.

Téa was suddenly attacked while bandaging one of the injured. If Yugi hadn't been right beside her and reacted quickly, she might have instantly become a Captive of the assassin who was pretending to be attacked. Even though the assassin had been controlled by the Materialization of **Dark Magician** using Magic Control, she was still shaken and threw herself into Yugi's embrace.

As for Tristan and Joey Wheeler, their encounter was even more thrilling. They went to the Cockpit to inform the Pilot and Co-pilot about what was happening in the Aircraft Cabin. However, before they could reach the Cockpit, they encountered the Co-pilot who had just walked out of the Cockpit halfway there. Without any suspicion, they informed him of the situation.

After listening to their words, the Co-pilot had a calm expression at the time, calmly stating that he already knew. He then asked Joey Wheeler and Tristan to lead the way, saying he wanted to go see the situation himself. When the two asked why not tell the Pilot, the Co-pilot replied that the Pilot needed to fly the airplane and couldn't be distracted, and the two believed his reason.

But just as the two turned around without any Defense, the Co-pilot suddenly attacked Joey Wheeler from behind, throwing a hook punch towards the back of Joey Wheeler's head. It could be said he was aiming to kill him, after all, the back of the head is a major fatal area of the human body.

It was fortunate that Joey Wheeler, as if by sheer luck, happened to sneeze at that exact moment. A dip of his head just happened to dodge the Co-pilot's attack, and at the same time, it drew the attention of Tristan, who subconsciously looked over from the side, to the Co-pilot still holding his punching position.

The two of them immediately worked together to subdue the Co-pilot who had unaccountably attacked them. However, they didn't expect the Co-pilot, who was dressed like an ordinary office worker, to have surprisingly good skills. After a stalemate for a while, Joey Wheeler finally remembered to use the Power of Card Spirits at Tristan's suggestion, and successfully subdued the Co-pilot.

Regarding the Co-pilot who had unaccountably attacked them, they were undecided for a while. They decided to first go check on the situation of the Pilot in the Cockpit, and if necessary, control the Pilot as well, who would very likely also attack them.

But as soon as they entered the Cockpit, they were dumbfounded. Although they saw the Pilot at first glance, he was hanging, his neck tightly strangled by a tie, with a pen stuck right in the center of his forehead, looking like a Pilot who had been brutally killed by some dog lover. His wide-open eyes made Tristan and Joey Wheeler cling to each other tightly, almost scared silly. They only felt that they would definitely have a nightmare tonight.

Thus, on Hayato and Marik's side, although they dealt with the Vampire Clan's Camus, Marik was taken as a Hostage and controlled by the second assassin, giving the impression of being the weakest one.

Probably.

Looking at Marik, who had a panicked expression and was pleading for help, Hayato had a cold expression, saying indifferently, "Oh? This gentleman, you look very familiar, but I don't know you. After all, because of that Dark Game just now, my Life Points were reduced to just 1 point, like a flickering candle, and my memory is all messed up."

"Instead of pleading for help from me, a stranger, I suggest you save yourself."

"Don't pretend you don't know me at a time like this!"

Marik struggled for a moment, but the icy feeling that came from his neck the next instant made him stop.

"Heh heh, Kid, it seems Hayato Kobayashi doesn't consider you a Friend at all, and is completely unwilling to give up resisting for your Life." The assassin, who had infiltrated this airplane under the identity of a Stewardess, said with a cold laugh, pressing the knife tightly against Marik's neck. She seemed to have the leisure to tease Marik, but her Heart was quite nervous.

Damn it, this is a bit different from what I originally planned. The employer said that if that arrogant Vampire Clan failed, they would activate plan-B. As long as I could approach Hayato Kobayashi's people under the identity of an injured person, I could kidnap them to make Hayato Kobayashi give up resisting and let me crush him.

But the problem now is, even though the person beside him is being kidnapped by me, why isn't Hayato Kobayashi panicked at all? Doesn't he care about this Kid at all? Could it be that this guy isn't someone important?

The assassin just remembered that there didn't seem to be the name of this kid in her investigated data. However, it probably doesn't matter, right? Any kid of this age is pretty much the same. Could it be that a kid in his teens could be the leader of some criminal organization, or a Great Evil God who will destroy the World?

Hayato looked at the assassin, whose expression was uncertain and didn't know what she was thinking, and at Marik, who was being kidnapped by the assassin and had a panicked expression. He said with helplessness, "You're not a three-year-old kid anymore, handle her yourself, Marik."

Marik? I think I've heard that name somewhere before?

The assassin was startled, and for a moment, she didn't react, wondering where she had heard such a name. It seems, was it on the bounty list?

"Pfft!"

But in that moment of distraction, accompanied by a sound like leaking air, the assassin suddenly lost consciousness. Marik shook the blood off a short sword in his hand. Looking at the assassin who had died from a stab through the heart by him, he said with a disgusted expression, "Even though I wanted to wipe it on your clothes because I didn't want to get any more blood on myself, look now, your clothes are also dirty, and the **Millennium Rod** is covered in blood inside and out. Tsk, unlucky."

"Isn't that because you're too playful? Wouldn't it have been better to control her with the **Millennium Rod** from the start? Before the duel with Camus, I noticed that guy wasn't unconscious at all. Don't tell me you, who personally caught her, didn't notice?" Hayato rolled his eyes at Marik and quickly walked towards the Front Cabin. "Stop talking nonsense there, we need to hurry and find Yugi and the others."

"Do you remember what that guy Camus said before he died just now? I'm suddenly a little curious about what 'fall with your Companion' means."

"Hey, wait for me, Brother-in-law! At least let me find where the Restroom is first."

But before Hayato and Marik could walk two steps further, suddenly, the Ground beneath their feet trembled violently, and then it actually began to tilt!?

The next instant, the feeling of loss of gravity struck. This airplane, bearing the name "Hindenburg", began to fall from the air!
