And that's where it started ...
Kaiba did not sleep well that night either. Not only that his previous problems still do not leave him in peace, since yesterday an insurmountable wall of coolness has apparently stood between his little brother around him. At breakfast, which they have always eaten together before Kaiba then makes his way to his company, not a word was said between them that morning. Mokuba just kept staring at his plate and poking around in his food.
Kaiba shakes her head defensively. The little pain in the ass just shouldn't believe that he missed it. Really, that he still plays the offender ... how childish! There is really no need to act like that and let emotions control you in this way. The little one still has a lot to learn. Anyone who wants to get ahead of the competition has to be tough. It's probably time he taught his brother a little lesson.
Kaiba is currently on the way to the front door to be driven by his limousine to his company. Mokuba appears in the hallway behind him. There is amazement and concern in his mine. "Wait for me Seto! You don't want to leave without me."
Without turning around, Kaiba opens the front door and leaves the house. "You guessed it. This childish pouting of you gets on my nerves. That's why you will stay at home today. When you've got yourself back, I'll think twice about taking you with me again." : "What, you are not serious, are you Seto? You always took me with you. We have never been apart since we were children. Why now?" Again a tear creeps into Mokuba's eyes.
Kaiba says, unimpressed. "You have to come up with something better," he throws a short look back, "And finally stop crying! Howling is something for the weak!"
While Kaiba takes firm steps to his car, Mokuba stands in the front door and tries desperately to swallow the tears that well up in him. Why is his brother so mean to him? What did he do wrong? At the moment he hardly reminds him of the kind, big brother he was for so long, but rather of that hideous, cold-hearted people flayer who adopted her back then, Gozaburo Kaiba.
Yes, his brother has taken over a lot from him in the meantime, Mokuba notes and his wet eyes darken. Anger is now written on his face and then he yells out loud: "You are already just as mean as Gozaburo! I hate you!" With these words he disappears back into the house and slams the door.
Kaiba pauses for a moment. His stepfather's name brings back unpleasant memories, but then he shakes them off and moves on.The little one has to learn to control himself. He finished with the past when he blew up the duel tower. He no longer has to worry about that. Gozaburo Kaiba is just one name of many who made it difficult for him on the way to the top. Now he only lives in the present and the world is finally turning on.
Kaiba gets into his car and instructs the driver to drive him to his office. However, as much as it annoys him, he can't get the most recent events out of his head. After all, he can't take it any longer. He grabs his car phone and contacts his secretary. "Give me the address and the telephone number of Gigatech-Enterprise!" After he has received the requested information, he immediately dials the relevant number.
"Hello, this is Seto Kaiba. I have decided to accept your offer of a special presentation of your VR technology. I will get back to you shortly. Whether we get into business will depend on you and your presentation, but I want to make it clear right away I'm not easy to impress. Still, I'll give you this one chance. Make the most of it! "With that, he hangs up. Then he turns to the driver: "To the Gigatech-Enterprise building!"
"He's on the way!" With these words the young woman hangs up the phone. “You were right, Atsumi-san,” says a colleague next to her, “but how did you know that he would agree to it?” The woman turns to go: “If you want something from Seto Kaiba, then you have to Confronting him with a fait accompli. That is the only language he understands. Asking and begging is pointless! "
"It's possible," says her colleague, "but I wonder if this is really such a good idea. The whole thing could backfire. If something goes wrong, then we have Kaiba-Corp against us and thus also the access lost to international trade. "The woman ignores him and marches towards a cloakroom to take her coat. The other one runs after her worried: "Please, Atsumi-san, think again. If we mess it up with Kaiba-Corp, that could mean the end of the company. The smallest mistake can be devastating!"
The young woman throws her coat sweeping over her shoulders: "I'm aware of that! And that's why there shouldn't be any mistakes. And that's exactly why I will play it safe. Most important rule in business: I still have an ace in my head Sleeves! "Determined she crosses the hallway on the left side of which there is a glass window front. She stops in front of the elevator. Her colleague has now caught up with her again.
While they wait for the elevator, their gaze falls on the street. A black limousine is pulling up, the logo of which consists of a K and a C that are intertwined."There it is!", She states and turns to her colleague, "Well, you are taking care of the smooth running of Plan A. I rely on you!" The elevator doors open and the two of them get on. “And I will now personally take care of Plan B!” The young employee is already looking a bit uncertain. “If only that goes well!” Then the elevator doors close.
Seto Kaiba enters the building with a confident step. Immediately a young man comes towards him: "Welcome, Kaiba-sama! We are happy that you accepted our invitation! My name is Hajime Matsuo and I was asked to familiarize you with our project. If you would like to follow me, please, then I'll brief you on the technical details. "Kaiba looks at the man in front of him with a disdainful look. "Save yourself the talk! I did not come to listen to long speeches. I am only interested in the practice. So if you have nothing to offer on this point, I will leave immediately!"
The man pauses for a moment, confused, then he pulls himself together again. "Of course! As you wish! Of course we can also go straight to the practical part. Follow me!" With these words he set off. With a still extremely critical mine, Kaiba follows him. "I am very surprised!", He remarks as he leaves, "I was of the opinion that your employers would be present in person for a deal of this size. Instead, I am fobbed off with lackeys. If I are to overlook this gross insult, I have to they already offer me something extraordinary. "
"Don't worry, Kaiba-sama, you can definitely negotiate the business details with the management and shortly you will be able to meet the head of our research department personally." "It is better if you actually keep what you promise, than me I'm already getting bored, "says Kaiba coolly.
After they have passed a few corridors and two high-security doors, they reach the research laboratory. The room isn't that big, but behind a pane of glass there is another room with several computers and some people working on them. Kaiba sees a person capsule for virtual reality in front of her.
"Doesn't look particularly impressive!" He states sullenly. "The difference in the program is not in the external hardware," notes the man next to him cautiously. "What they don't say," says Kaiba disparagingly and approaches the capsule. He examines the machine with a critical eye. “Can we start the demonstration now or not?” “Of course, Kaiba-sama!” Assures the man. At a gesture next door, the capsule opens. "Have a seat! The program will start shortly. Don't worry, the transition is absolutely harmless, you will hardly feel anything.""Hmh!", Kaiba snorts contemptuously and takes a seat on the soft upholstery of the cabin, "Fear is something for the weak. Get started! You have already cost me too much of my precious time."
Only a few moments later, the transparent plastic door of the cabin closes over him. Two padded probes are brought to his temples and establish contact. The light in the room loses its brightness and takes on a dark, warm red shimmer. Pretty cheesy effect! Kaiba thinks to himself, then he feels himself suddenly dizzy and suddenly he loses consciousness.
