frenziedpanda7While Kaiba did find Atem's reaction to his new wardrobe entertaining,he was far more interested in the latest report from his spys at Industrial Illusions.
He had heard the rumors of course, but now he had (in writing)proof of Pegasus's arrogant stupidity. If Tenma thought HE was going to inherit Industrial Illusions and threaten Kaiba Corporations Duel Monster licensing, he was about to get a very unpleasant wake-up call!
Everyone knew about the three million dollars that Yugi had won, then promptly given away to the bonkatsu. (For reasons Kaiba actually understood, though he would never admit it.)What most people had forgotten was the OTHER prize. Sixty one percent of Industrial Illusions to whoever defeated Pegasus at Duelist Kingdom. Yugi had done exactly that, and was now the majority shareholder. AND thanks to sloppy wording in the contracts, (Kaiba would have fired his entire legal department for such a mistake!)Yugi was legally Industrial Illusion's CEO.
Of course Kaiba knew Yugi was totally unsuited for the position, even if he had wanted it. For all his courage in defending his friends and the world at large from the return of the shadows,he lacked the ruthlessness needed in the cutthroat corporate world. How fortunate it was that now there was someone who could take that burden from him. Some one who would happily protect Yugi's interests while Yugi pursued his own dreams. Kaiba was sure Atem would be a fast learner with his guidance, after all, he had ruled over one of the most powerful empires in the ancient world.
"Kaiba, what am I supposed to do with this?"
Kaiba looked up from his laptop to find Atem holding out a long piece of cloth.
"It's a tie , Atem. It goes around the neck."
"Ah! Like a garrote?"
Kaiba smiled inwardly. Oh yes, Atem had the required ruthlessness! He led his rival and business student over to a mirror and showed him what to do...
Happy B-Day Lucid! (This is set in the Happily Ever After? universe.)
