Chapter 134: The Geniuses In The Crosshairs
“This matter can be big or small, it all depends on how it’s handled now.
But that child actually let you come back to ask us, which means the other party has no intention of pursuing it. You just don’t go find him.” The Jin Family Head comforted in his heart.
Jin Fengqiao, knowing she had caused trouble, nodded fearfully.
In truth, if one had to say, Jin Fengqiao was the real Jin Family Patriarch, but unfortunately, she was neither smart nor talented, so she took in a son-in-law from the Jin Family’s collateral branch.
After comforting his wife, the Jin Family Head turned his gaze to his son. “Are you confident about tomorrow’s match?”
“Not very confident.” Jin Guilin honestly shook his head.
His Corphish was merely at Normal Mid-stage, but this strength could be called genius anywhere.
But that also depended on who it was compared to.
A Normal Mid-stage Charmander, plus that secret technique—without type advantage, Jin Guilin truly didn’t dare say he could win.
Even with type advantage, Jin Guilin didn’t dare say it was a guaranteed win, after all, Marco’s precedent was right there.
“Just do your best, we don’t compare with monsters.” The Jin Family Head patted his son’s shoulder comfortingly.
He was quite satisfied with his son, who had solid Heavenly King potential—this was absolutely the most suitable talent for the Jin Family’s current situation.
As long as he didn’t die halfway, he would surely become a Heavenly King Level Trainer. As a father, what was there to be dissatisfied with?
Jin Guilin also nodded, then guaranteed with burning fighting spirit: “I will go all out. My Corphish and I are not inferior to anyone!”
The Jin Family Head smiled satisfiedly.
………………
Qingfeng City’s match had only two days left.
Lu Li, who arrived at the Pokémon Center early in the morning, was waiting for today’s opponent in the lounge.
Today was the ranking match to decide the Top Ten, so two matches awaited him.
“It’s a pity that Jin Huang and Lian Sheyi didn’t come to participate in the match.” Lu Li sighed as he arrived at the battlefield.
Without any accidents, Lu Li quickly won the match.
After the second match ended, Lu Li took Charmander back to the hotel.
There was nothing noteworthy about today’s matches, just pure crushing victories. What Lu Li truly looked forward to was tomorrow’s match.
Just as Lu Li was about to cultivate, there was suddenly a knock at the door.
Lu Li helplessly exited the cultivation state. Through the peephole, he discovered that Jin Longma was surprisingly standing outside the door.
Lu Li asked curiously: “Uncle Jin Long, what do you need from me?”
“My sister asked me to come.”
As Jin Longma spoke, he curiously surveyed the room’s interior.
Hearing this, Lu Li frowned and asked: “Which sister?”
“Of course it’s Second Sister. What? Have you met my Big Sister too?” Jin Longma asked curiously.
Lu Li: “…”
Jin Longma’s Second Sister was Jin Fengjiao. Their generation had four sisters, and Jin Longma was the only male in that generation.
Unfortunately, due to insufficient talent, plus Jin Longma being a playboy, the Jin Family Head position fell to his brother-in-law.
“Didn’t you tell my Second Sister yesterday that you need a large batch of steel?” Jin Longma continued to ask.
Lu Li nodded.
“Don’t you know that our Jin Family is the largest steel group in the Southern Region?” Jin Longma asked incredulously.
Lu Li really didn’t know about this.
After taking a seat, Jin Longma continued: “The first batch needs 1000 tons?”
Lu Li nodded.
Jin Longma said directly: “Give me the address, and I’ll have someone deliver it to you tomorrow.”
“For something like this, couldn’t you just make a phone call?” Lu Li asked, somewhat puzzled.
“Oh, you mean that? There’s one other thing I need to tell you—my Big Sister isn’t very smart, so just pretend whatever she did didn’t happen.” Jin Longma said casually.
Lu Li knew this was the main reason for the in-person visit.
After all, big families cared about face, but Lu Li didn’t take the matter to heart either. Jin Fengqiao really wasn’t very smart; he wouldn’t hold it against a silly sweet girl.
What Lu Li didn’t expect was that the Jin Family was actually the largest mining group in the Southern Region.
But thinking about it, it made sense—without mines at home, how could they afford to raise a bunch of Aggron.
Jin Longma came quickly and left just as hastily. After Lu Li said he wouldn’t hold it against his sister, Jin Longma left reassured.
…………
In a certain apartment in Qingfeng City.
Name: Lu Li
Origin: Commoner, but suspected to have received sponsorship from Qingyun Gym.
Talent: At least Heavenly King Level Trainer talent, Master Level breeding talent.
Potential Evaluation: ss（ Can grow to become a pillar of the Alliance.）
After sending this information, Luo Sha let out a heavy breath.
Luo Sha was not a local from the Jiuzhou Region; he came from the Day Island Region and was a spy funded by the North American Alliance’s money.
Ever since the North American Alliance’s Force Growth Plan began, multiple spies like him existed in every frontline city.
Normally, they lived like ordinary people, going to work and off work like corporate drones.
But secretly, they had a arduous mission: to specifically assassinate the Alliance’s newborn geniuses.
Qingfeng City hadn’t produced any genius worth assassinating in many years, so Luo Sha originally thought this was how his life would end.
But he never expected that before his retirement, Qingfeng City would produce such an extraordinary genius.
An ss-level evaluation—if he could successfully assassinate him, he would gain at least one billion in Pokémon breeding resources and a Heavenly King Level Qualification Pokémon.
Thinking of this, Luo Sha’s heart burned with excitement.
Just as Luo Sha sank into beautiful fantasies, a new reply finally appeared on the computer screen.
Assassination approved.
Looking at those four blood-red characters on the screen, Luo Sha’s smile gradually turned twisted.
Immense wealth had finally fallen into his lap.
Compared to those family geniuses, commoner geniuses were easier to assassinate, especially one like Lu Li who hadn’t yet been formally included in the Alliance’s protection scope.
A commoner genius, a Normal Mid-stage Charmander.
With his Elite Level strength, and the strangest Ghost attribute at that, Luo Sha didn’t even know how he could fail.
“But first, I need to find a way to lure away that Gym Leader Yu Zhonggang. This might require the organization to stir up some trouble elsewhere.”
Luo Sha frowned, pondering how to draw away Yu Zhonggang.
He’d heard that Linmu Black Market was Qingyun Gym’s black industry—this could be a good target.
Thinking of this, Luo Sha immediately had an idea.
…………
Lu Li, unaware that he had been targeted by a hidden venomous snake, was still immersed in cultivation and couldn’t extricate himself.
At the same time, a white-haired youth rode a Bidoof silently into Qingfeng City.
