Honestly, Kaiba didn't see the point in rehashing the incident. He'd considered it initially, but there wasn't much he could have said to sway public opinion. Those gathered, if they chose a side ultimately would have went with the new kid overall. Besides, it was really none of their business anyway. Just something for idle gossipers to compare notes on. That's the last thing he needed.

At Ann's entreaties, he backed off, though he waved off the suggestion to depart immediately. Likely, because he didn't know if he was going to be able to depart gracefully... But he really did want to retreat to his apartment by this point.

Since Oak was addressing Takamaki, Kaiba stayed out of it, waiting for the crowd to disperse. There was still the matter of the footage too, looking briefly to the closed apartment door thoughtfully.
