Chapter 1477: Take him on

"Ted, go to Yugi and tell him... send me Citadel."

A moment of confusion silenced the event hall. No one in the crowd knew what Citadel was - but those on the second floor did. How could they not? When they had allotted a lot of budget for the bidding for this in the future?

"Citadel?" a gentleman on the second floor repeated. "She's going to use it now?" "Are we finally going to see it in action?"

"Ted, go to Yugi and tell him... send me Citadel."

Teddy didn't hesitate. He quickly lowered his head and silently walked away to deliver the message. He didn't even consider calling Yugi-partly because of the poor reception, but mostly because he feared the call could be compromised.

Better safe than sorry.
