Chapter 120 Alliance Intervention
Chapter 120 Alliance Intervention
As soon as Yang Bin finished speaking, all three people present felt a surge of power emanating from Xuan Mingtian that was beyond his years.
It was a mixture of anger, rage, and domineering aura, which made his youthful face even more adorable.
"Pfft, hahaha, Xiaotian, what's with that expression? If you're angry, just be angry. Why put on so much of an act? Like you always say, you're not a shoo-in for an Oscar."
Seeing Xuan Mingtian's expression, Xiao Gang couldn't help but burst into laughter, because the former had wanted to say it for a long time.
Take, for example, the aura that erupted from Xuan Mingtian's little face during the kidnapping case. It was a mix of domineering and adorable, making it so hard for Xiao Gang to hold back.
"Damn it, is that really what I look like? No way. Rotom, give me a selfie."
After cursing, Xuan Mingtian took out his Rotom phone. It floated into the air without any wind, and then, as he resumed displaying the same expression,...
"Click"
A shutter sound rang out, and then Rotom's phone floated in front of Xuan Mingtian.
"Holy crap, this is definitely not me."
Upon closer inspection, a gasp escaped Xuan Mingtian's lips. He even muttered to himself that the person in the photo wasn't him at all.
"Pfft, hahaha!"
His silly antics immediately drew laughter from Xiao Gang and Yang Bin.
"You two bastards, still laughing? Watch my invincible tickling skills."
As Xuan Mingtian spoke, he made a tiger-like pouncing motion, and in the next instant, he knocked the two men down. What followed was a brutal and inhumane torture.
Watching the trio playfully bickering reminded the principal of his own youthful days at the school. However, things had changed; all his friends had gone their separate ways.
"Thump~ thump~ thump"
Less than a minute later, a knock on the door interrupted the trio's pleasant time.
Immediately, their gazes shifted, and Xuan Mingtian's eyes met those of the principal. However, the latter gestured for him to proceed, indicating that the former would take full responsibility for the matter.
"Bin-zai, go open the door. If Uncle Xiao brought them here, then make those two bastards stand at the door for 10 minutes."
Yang Bin nodded in agreement, then sprang to his feet and quickly walked to the door.
However, the moment he opened the door, he discovered that there were not only the three of them, but also three more figures behind them.
One is Grandma Li, the current head of the Yuhong Gym. Another is Professor Oak, who is famous in the Kanto region. The third is also an elderly woman, but Yang Bin does not recognize her.
"Uncle Xiao, Brother Tian told those two to wait outside the door."
Yang Bin's words plunged Xia Guanzhu and Zifuqi Mujin into despair.
However, they were somewhat dismissive, because this morning the league had informed them that it would step in to help resolve the matter.
When the three entered, Professor Oak, who was in the lead, saw Xuan Mingtian sitting comfortably on the sofa, holding a cup of what appeared to be freshly made milk tea.
"Professor Oak, Grandma Li, what brings you here? And who is this gentleman?"
Xuan Mingtian pretended to greet them with a happy expression, but his bottom didn't move an inch off the sofa.
"Ah, Principal Guo, Xiao Tian, hello there. Let me introduce you..."
However, before Professor Oak could finish speaking, the old woman interrupted him.
"Yukinari Ooki, no need for introductions. Hello, little friend, my name is Kikuko, and I am the third Elite Four member of the Indigo Plateau Pokémon League. I specialize in Ghost-type Pokémon, and many people also call me the Ghost Elite Four member."
Xuan Mingtian didn't take Kikuko's self-introduction to heart at all. He already knew who she was when she came in.
"Oh, hello Kikuko-sensei, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Kikuko wasn't annoyed by Xuan Mingtian's calm tone. She had received orders from the Alliance to come with Ooki Yukinari and Master Li to quell the former's anger towards the two gatekeepers.
"Xiao Tian, we've come here on behalf of the Alliance to see if we can let these two go."
Professor Oak spoke frankly, stating directly the purpose of his visit. This matter had already caused quite a stir within the League.
"Professor Oak, please listen to this recording first."
After saying something in a low voice, Xuan Mingtian asked Rotom to turn on the recording function on his phone.
About 10 minutes later, the three people present understood the whole story.
This recording not only revealed the fact that Manager Jia had kidnapped the victim, but also contained statements from Master Xia and Zifuqi Mujin about protecting the deceased.
This gave the three peacemakers a real headache. The reason was simple: the two doorkeepers were too confident, so confident that they had reached this point.
"Xiao Tian, it's been 10 minutes."
Uncle Xiao, who was standing nearby, offered a reminder.
"Go and bring those two in. I want to play this recording again in front of them."
After receiving permission, Uncle Xiao leisurely walked to the door and welcomed the two inside.
Upon entering the office, the two first looked at Professor Oak and his two companions. However, they were met with disappointed and angry stares. They immediately realized that this was a matter they would have to resolve themselves and make a significant financial sacrifice.
"Who gave you permission to sit down?"
Just as Master Xia and Zifuqi Mujin were about to sit down, a childish, scolding voice rang out. Everyone turned to look and saw that it was Xiaogang's voice.
"Brock, your father is the gym leader of Pewter City Gym. You are also a direct descendant of the League, so it's not appropriate to say that."
Upon hearing Xiaogang's words, Grandma Li immediately gave him a stern reprimand.
"Grandma Li, have you ever thought about this? If it weren't for Xiao'er, we would have been crippled if not dead. Would I have given them a kind look after that?"
Xiao Gang immediately retorted angrily to such criticism.
Just then, Yang Bin spoke up, saying, "Grandma Li, they fired a destructive beam at us without saying a word. I ask you all here, who could withstand one head-on?"
Yang Bin's words left them speechless. Although Professor Oak knew what had happened, he hadn't expected it to be so dangerous.
Similarly, this statement made Master Xia and Zifuqi Mujin feel so ashamed that they wished they could dig a hole and crawl into it.
"You two are really something, completely ignoring what I said. Master Xia compensated the academy with 5000 million, and Boss Zifuqi compensated with 1 million. Are you trying to fob me off? Or do you think you're afraid of me but not the academy?"
Xuan Mingtian's words shocked the two of them. They had originally agreed that a small compensation to Quartz Academy would suffice, but now everything was laid bare.
