“Rev-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v-v!”
The engine’s roar let out a wild beast-like howl, though this howl carried a hint of desperation.
Dichu De was doing surprisingly well in the Satellite, as most people didn’t even have mobile phones, let alone vehicles.
Even if they did, Dichu De’s vehicle was so broken down it was a miracle it hadn’t completely fallen apart, making one wonder if it was assembled from salvaged parts.
Seeing that the Wildfire Team was about to rush into the factory, and Rally still hadn’t bolted the main gate, Yusei floored the accelerator, driving straight into the crowd.
The car’s start-up speed wasn’t fast, and even if it hit someone, it might not even do much.
But once those two dazzling high beams came on, coupled with the bizarre engine roar, the Wildfire Team immediately scattered like frightened birds, retreating in a hurry.
Yusei blocked the factory entrance with his car.
Dichu De rolled down the window and shouted loudly to his companions inside, “Quick!
Lock the door!
Don’t come out without the secret signal!”
“Understood!” Rally quickly nodded.
He and two other burly young men used all their strength to pull the heavy iron door shut.
“Clang—”
As the crisp sound of the gate bolting echoed, Yusei and the others slightly relaxed.
Among the Wildfire Team’s crowd, a rider on a fiery red D-Wheel removed his helmet, and, using the bright headlight, peered into the vehicle.
After making eye contact with Dichu De, he sneered coldly, as if he had been waiting for this moment for a long time.
“Dichu De!”
“You actually have the guts to send people to steal from us?”
“If we don’t break a few of your legs today, I’m afraid you bunch of pathetic losers won’t learn your lesson!”
“Clang clang—”
Then, that D-Wheel rider grabbed a baseball bat from the side and slammed it twice on the ground.
With a loud shout from him, dozens of thugs with weapons swarmed forward!
“Hurry, Yusei!” Hirata Shun cried out in a panic, “These guys are connected to Sector Security.
Even if we do something out of line, they’ll just turn a blind eye!”
Without Hirata Shun needing to say it, Yusei already knew he had to run.
The situation in the Satellite was worse than any modern city he had known in his previous life.
He believed these demented, crazy people would attack them without hesitation.
“Screech—”
The sound of tires grinding on the ground echoed once more.
Yusei floored the accelerator, and the old car, which rattled when it started, carved a smooth path through the crowd, dashing skillfully out of the factory gate.
Dichu De and Hirata Shun in the back seat felt their bodies sway twice.
When they looked out the window again, the Wildfire Team had already been left behind.
“You must’ve earned a lot teaching people to drive before, right?”
Yusei, who was just driving the car onto the main road, couldn’t help but find it amusing.
At a time like this, Dichu De could actually ask such a question?
“Are Rally and the others okay?” Yusei glanced at the rearview mirror, seeing that the crowd behind them was gradually fading.
Hirata Shun let out a long breath and said, “If there’s a problem with the factory’s assembly line, we’ll definitely be held responsible.
The higher-ups won’t care about anything else.”
“But as long as they can’t break in and cause trouble, even if you give them a million guts, they wouldn’t dare to do anything serious.”
“After all, the Scrap Recycling Plant is the lifeblood of the Satellite.
People can die, but the factory cannot.”
“How twisted…” Yusei thought to himself.
He remembered that the factory’s main gate was extremely heavy, a truly solid iron door.
Since Rally and the others had already secured the door, he figured no further accidents would occur.
As for the few of them, shaking off that group by driving around the streets a few times should be enough.
“What’s the situation with the Wildfire Team?” With the crisis resolved, Yusei began to inquire, “Is their influence really that extensive?”
“Ha?
You don’t know?
It seems you’re not very familiar with Sector F17.” Dichu De replied, leaning back in the seat and enjoying the cold wind from the window.
“At first, the Wildfire Team was just average.”
“But a while ago, something unexpected happened to the strongest team, The Enforcers.
One of their members was arrested by Sector Security, and the remaining few disbanded the organization out of despair.”
“After the Wildfire Team lost their opponents, they rapidly expanded and have now become the largest underground gang in Sector F17.”
The Enforcers?!
As soon as these three words came out, Yusei’s pupils sharply contracted.
He remembered that in the original anime, the protagonist Yusei was a member of The Enforcers.
He, along with Jack, Crow, and the team leader Kalin Kessler, formed this organization, and continuously expanded their influence in the Satellite with their formidable dueling skills and exceptional combat prowess.
During their most prosperous period, The Enforcers almost dominated the entire Satellite.
However, precisely because of this, Sector Security felt threatened and began to target this rapidly expanding underground gang under various pretexts.
As the leader of The Enforcers, Kalin Kessler, whose personality was already somewhat extreme, simply made up his mind and began to oppose Sector Security.
However, some of his actions were too cruel, causing Jack and Crow to leave the team one after another.
Ultimately, only the protagonist Yusei remained as the main member.
Under Sector Security’s intense pressure, The Enforcers’ influence quickly collapsed. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
Kalin Kessler, unwilling to accept defeat, used explosives in his resentment to blow up the Security Building and killed a Security Officer.
Finally, on a rainy night, Sector Security apprehended Kalin Kessler.
Leaderless, The Enforcers subsequently disbanded, and its members joined other gangs…
“So, I arrived at this timeline so early?”
Yusei was secretly shocked in his heart.
This part of the original story might have to be traced back much further than the beginning of the plot.
According to his vague memory, Yusei’s dueling skills were not yet very high at this time.
Jack had not yet stolen the D-Wheel and Stardust Dragon to sneak into New Domino City…
Everything was much earlier than he had thought!
It was only at this moment that Yusei recalled that Rally’s face did not yet show the Signer’s mark, which was another clue supporting the timeline.
“Tsk…”
“What a mess…”
Since transmigrating to this world, Yusei hadn’t had time to properly make a plan.
Now, having learned this important information from Dichu De, he had to find some time to seriously organize his thoughts.
Late at night, no figures could be seen on the main road.
Occasionally, a few barks of stray dogs came from the roadside.
Dichu De looked around.
Seeing no one chasing them, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “Sigh, tonight we can only trouble Rally and the others.
We can’t go back to the factory.
Why don’t we go to my place to rest first?
We can help them tomorrow morning!”
Hirata Shun yawned, “Then that’s the only way.
Yusei, come with us!”
Just as Yusei was about to reply, a sudden, deafening D-Wheel sound came from the small alley to his front left.
The three of them were startled.
The next second, a duelist riding that fiery red D-Wheel leaped out, blocking their path.
“Dichu De!”
“It’s not that easy to escape!”
“Let me show you Grandpa’s new toy!”
“Boom—”
As soon as his voice fell, a giant “cannonball” descended from the sky towards the three people’s vehicle, its strong red light seemingly igniting everything around them!
When the imposing holographic projection of the monster gradually approached, they finally saw clearly: it was a heavily armored, fearsome dragon, like a meteorite!
