Xia Hunaao wanted to slap himself dozens of times. What was the privileged class? It was being able to use privileges to help solve certain problems when you encountered difficulties. To a certain extent, Xia Hunaao was the biggest privileged class in Minglong Nation, yet he couldn't think of using the power of Yu Longdu to solve the problem.
He dialed Yu Longdu's number, and Yu Longdu's voice immediately came out, "Where did you kid ditch yourself? Do you know your wife called me? And whose phone number is this? I almost hung up."
Yu Longdu, like a problem child, kept asking Xia Hunaao all sorts of questions, but Xia Hunaao clearly didn't have the leisure to be a ten thousand whys at the moment: "Can you come to Manying? I've run into trouble here and might not be able to come back."
"Don't joke. If you don't go blow up Maning Sacred Mountain, they should be grateful. What kind of trouble could you possibly get into?"
Yu Longdu clearly had too much faith in Xia Hunaao's ability to cause trouble, which made Xia Hunaao unhappy. He was in such big trouble, and you were still egging me on to cause trouble?
"Fine, I'll call Meng Tianya and have him pick you up. This merit will be his too."
Hearing Xia Hunaao mention merit, Yu Longdu became interested: "Forget it. I heard Meng Tianya's family got their hands on a scripture from somewhere that can communicate with Pokémon through special means. He's been practicing at home every day, how could he possibly pick you up? I'll go. Where are you?"
"I'm here, I'm here at..."
After discussing the escape plan with Yu Longdu, Xia Hunaao nodded with great satisfaction: "This is much better, but I'm afraid you'll have to be wronged a bit and go to the Pokémon Alliance headquarters for a while."
Mu Zhi Water nodded: "It doesn't matter. As long as I don't fall into the hands of the Rainbow Star Group, it's the same wherever I go."
...
After a night passed, Xia Hunaao and Mu Zhi Water didn't wait long before Yu Longdu arrived. Yu Longdu was wearing a very smart green tracksuit, and a slightly dark-skinned young man was with him. When Yu Longdu saw Xia Hunaao, he walked straight over: "You're alive and well, aren't you? You don't look like you're in any trouble."
Xia Hunaao pointed to Mu Zhi Water: "This lady, the Alliance should have investigated her, so I won't introduce her further. As for you, who is the person beside you?"
Yu Longdu pulled the dark-skinned youth over: "Let me introduce you, this is a new team member in our department. You can just call him Zaxi."
Xia Hunaao glanced at him: "Zaxi Deler."
Yu Longdu corrected him: "His name is Zaxi, not Zaxi Deler."
Xia Hunaao scolded him: "You're uncultured! Stay a little further away. If you don't speak, you won't embarrass yourself. Zaxi Deler means auspicious and fortunate. Although the context isn't quite right, the intention is there, and I think Zaxi can understand."
Yu Longdu looked at Zaxi: "Is that so? There's such an explanation?"
Zaxi nodded in confirmation: "Yes, Zaxi Deler does mean auspicious and fortunate. Although, as he said, I'm a bit unaccustomed to the context, it's actually fine."
After a brief chat, the group set off for the nearest airport. On the way, Yu Longdu asked, "Why couldn't you get back? Are there any blind people who dare to stop you?"
Xia Hunaao turned to look at Mu Zhi Water: "Honestly, if I were alone, I would have run away long ago. I have no bottom line and would use any dirty trick. I would even use elementary school fighting tactics to take them down with me, but with her here, some tactics can't be used, you know?"
Yu Longdu was confused: "Elementary school fighting tactics? What tactics?"
"It's dipping a mop..."
"You're the one who's dirty."
"Those people were actually after her. You couldn't have heard nothing, right?"
Yu Longdu smiled sheepishly: "Well, I did come with the intention of bringing her back, but don't worry, the Pokémon Alliance isn't that kind of organization."
With Yu Longdu escorting them, although they were spotted by people hired by the Rainbow Star Group before boarding the plane, as soon as Yu Longdu and Zaxi, two people with trainer badges, stood there, they completely lost the desire to make a move.
Xia Hunaao and the other two boarded the private jet back to Minglong Nation. While on the plane, Yu Longdu asked Xia Hunaao: "Why did you think of coming out to play?"
"You said it, of course, to lie low."
Yu Longdu chuckled upon hearing this: "It's about that old scoundrel being angered to death, right? I heard about it, you really did a beautiful job. Song Ruusi, that shameless old man, has been causing trouble everywhere, and all the major families have hated him for a long time. It's truly satisfying that you angered him to death."
Xia Hunaao waved his hand: "I probably won't be of much interest to anyone anymore, will I? I've been hiding for over a month, the heat should have died down by now."
"Indeed, hardly anyone is paying attention to you anymore. The most concerning issue now is the ownership of the Rainbow Star Group."
As he spoke, Yu Longdu glanced at Mu Zhi Water, who was sitting behind him, only to find that the person directly involved was sitting quietly in the back of the plane, seemingly indifferent to the matter. Yu Longdu waved his hand in front of Mu Zhi Water: "Miss Mu, you don't seem to care at all."
Mu Zhi Water snorted: "Let them fight over it. As long as my parents are safe."
Yu Longdu pouted. With this attitude, there was clearly no fun to be had, so he sat back down. Xia Hunaao glanced at Yu Longdu: "Why are you suddenly interested in the Rainbow Star Group?"
"It's my third uncle. He bought a lot of Rainbow Star Group stock. He's worried that the dispute over ownership will affect the stock price, so..."
Xia Hunaao shook his head: "I don't believe it. Your Yu family has plenty of money. It must be the Alliance that has its eye on the Rainbow Star Group's technology and wants to get involved? Who are they supporting?"
Regarding this, Yu Longdu remained tight-lipped. No matter how Xia Hunaao asked, he wouldn't say, showing an attitude of wanting to get something out of Xia Hunaao. However, while Yu Longdu was playing hard to get, Zaxi didn't give him any face: "The Alliance has decided to support Miss Mu's father. Although the Alliance and the Rainbow Star Group are not on good terms right now, if the leadership suddenly changes, the Alliance will still find it troublesome."
"Why didn't you stick to our agreement and sold me out like that?"
Xia Hunaao smiled: "Because I offered more. You, a young man from the Yu family, want to compete with me in resources? Aren't you courting disaster? Tell me the truth, what research data are you interested in?"
Yu Longdu leaned back in his chair: "The high-tech research data of the Rainbow Star Group. Aren't they all treasures?"
Zaxi continued to spill the beans: "However, Captain A'Du wants to know most if there's any research that can make Groudon fly."
Hearing this, Xia Hunaao quickly leaned towards the airplane window and looked down, finding nothing. Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief: "You scared me to death. I'm telling you, if I had taken a single Precipice Blades just now, I wouldn't let you go even as a ghost."
Yu Longdu laughed: "Are you ashamed? If you hadn't mentioned this to me before, would I have been so concerned about a flying Groudon?"
"Your Flying-type Elite Four status is about to be confirmed."
The plane continued to fly forward, and Xia Hunaao muttered softly: "A flying Groudon might be hard to find, but a Flying-type Groudon might be doable. For example, with Terastalization or something."
Xia Hunaao's voice wasn't loud, but Yu Longdu and the others heard it. Yu Longdu turned and asked, "Terastalization? What Terastalization?"
Xia Hunaao babbled: "Have you heard the old wives' tale that back in ancient times, Lingyao Star was full of a substance called Aether?"
"Of course, I've heard of it. It's said that there are still trainers belonging to this so-called Aether cult active, but their harmfulness and destructive power are not great, so we haven't intervened."
Xia Hunaao continued to make things up: "Perhaps if they crystalize the so-called Aether and feed it to Groudon, it could make Groudon fly."
Zaxi and Yu Longdu were stunned: "Your idea is even more absurd than the Aether cult's. You're not secretly a high-ranking member of the Aether cult, are you?"
"I think if I go and deceive them like this, I can round them all up. It's all absurd stuff anyway, it depends on how you spin it."
Although Xia Hunaao was babbling, Mu Zhi Water knew that Xia Hunaao's statement wasn't without basis. Aether was also believed to exist by some people on Earth in his previous life. However, when she looked at Xia Hunaao, she found that Xia Hunaao's right hand was pointing towards her, and he beckoned with his finger, making a gesture of 'nine'. Reading Network
Looking at the smile on Xia Hunaao's face, Mu Zhi Water quickly realized what this so-called 'nine' referred to. However, after understanding, Mu Zhi Water only felt that Xia Hunaao's figure suddenly became tall and majestic. Where did he get this information?
Distracted by Xia Hunaao's Terastalization, Yu Longdu and Zaxi sat back in their seats, while Xia Hunaao took out his newly replaced phone and started writing down known information for Mu Zhi Water.
Mu Zhi Water glanced at it a couple of times. Although she was also interested, she couldn't go back, so she didn't pay any more attention to it.
The plane continued to fly along the planned route and soon arrived over Linglong City. Xia Hunaao looked at the land below: "I'm finally back."
Yu Longdu laughed: "You say that as if you've been abroad for decades. Is it that serious?"
As he was speaking, Yu Longdu heard his phone ring. Yu Longdu took out his phone and looked at it: "Oh no, Old Xia, you need to be mentally prepared."
Xia Hunaao was startled: "Mentally prepared? What happened? Did something happen to my parents or my wife?"
Xia Hunaao stood up anxiously. Yu Longdu quickly pressed him back into his seat: "No, no, it's not that kind of bad news."
"Oh, then there's no bad news. I can handle anything, just say it."
Yu Longdu looked at him: "Well, do you know Song Shuangyu? Song Ruusi's son. He somehow heard you were returning today and is reportedly waiting for you at the airport."
Xia Hunaao listened: "Waiting for me? Zhi Water, could you lend me my Gardevoir?"
