Chapter 121 Compensation Resolution
Chapter 121 Compensation Resolution
Meanwhile, Professor Oak, upon hearing this, looked even more disgusted. He hadn't expected these two to have such thoughts.
Let's start with Zivchi Hibiscus. Although his Devon Corporation is world-renowned, this is only because the Hoenn League is backing him.
That's certainly impressive, and it would instill fear in many. However, compared to some truly top-tier families, Zvoich Hibiscus and his Devon Corporation are nothing.
For example, there's the Ooki family, the Dragon Clan, the Joy family, the Officer Jenny family, the East George family, the Waveguide family, and so on. Of course, there's also Xuanmingtian's family now.
Furthermore, Devon Corporation is comparable to Silver Corporation, and its methods of accumulating wealth are top-notch. And now, after doing such a thing, they're only offering 1 million Alliance Coins in compensation? Xuan Mingtian is right about one thing: this is practically begging.
This Xia Bo is even more of a freak. Although Professor Oak knows him, the former seems to have lost his mind from doing research and doesn't even have the slightest ability to judge people.
"Professor Oak, are you sure you want to get involved in this mess? Or are the Kanto and Hoenn alliances trying to protect them?"
Xuan Mingtian spoke expressionlessly and in a flat tone. But the feeling he gave was like the coldest winter day in December, chilling to the bone.
Professor Oak understood the meaning of those words; they roughly meant that if the alliance between the two regions intervened, the child in front of them would definitely launch a major war.
This is something the league doesn't want to happen, because it's known that the Xuan family already has four champion-level Pokémon. What if they have other trump cards? If a war breaks out, they'll definitely have to awaken the local league's guardian Pokémon.
If they can win, that's fine, but if they can't, they'll not only lose face, but they might even be robbed by the Xuan family, because Xuan Mingtian's great-grandfather had such a history.
"Xiao Tian, on behalf of the alliance, I promise you that as long as you spare their lives, you can do whatever you want with them."
After a brief three-minute deliberation, Professor Oak, Grandma Li, and Elite Four member Kikuko stated that saving the two men's lives was the priority.
Upon hearing the three men's reply, Master Xia and Zifuqi Mujin were instantly stunned, their faces drained of color. At that moment, they were like walking corpses, their expressions blank and their faces deathly pale.
"Congratulations on making the right choice. I promise you, I won't take their lives."
"Xiao Tian, calm down first. Remember, you shouldn't let your family suffer the consequences."
Professor Oak understood the implied meaning in Xuan Mingtian's words. He immediately said sternly that although it was those two scoundrels who did it, it had nothing to do with their family.
However, Xuan Mingtian glanced at Professor Oak with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot. He had no intention of harming their family; after all, the money would come from the sheep. If they killed the sheep, there would be no money left to fleece.
"Ah, Xiao Tian, I'm sorry, I misunderstood."
Professor Oak's face flushed slightly, and he kept scratching his head with his right hand. He looked like a child who had done something wrong, so embarrassed that he almost dug out a five-bedroom, two-living-room house.
After a brief chat, the two still stubbornly stared at Professor Oak and his friends. Unfortunately, the three ignored them.
After all, the League's involvement this time was fully overseen by Professor Oak, the former champion and current researcher.
After he said those words, Kikuko and Grandma Li just listened quietly, as if watching a play.
"Young Master Xuan, please just tell me what you want."
Having calmed his mind, Zifuqi Mujin spoke first.
However, Xuan Mingtian, sitting on the sofa, touched his chin with his right hand, looking like he was seriously thinking.
"Then you should give up 1% of the profits, 1% every year thereafter. Transfer it to the academy. If you can't do that, the alliance can't protect you either, I'm telling you."
After thinking for a moment, Xuan Mingtian stated his request.
This made the principal, who was standing not far away, ecstatic. This 1% was something many people envied. Remember, this was 1% of Devon Corporation's annual dividends.
For a company that can generate annual profits of hundreds of billions or even trillions, this 1% is already ten or twenty times the compensation.
"Understood, Young Master Xuan. I will deliver the documents to Principal Guo's desk by tomorrow."
Zivqi Mujin was truly left with no other choice. She had originally planned to settle the matter with the academy for 1 million yuan. Now, things have turned out differently; she's directly handing over 1% of the profits.
"Do you think I'll still trust you? Call someone over right now to handle this. If you handle it tomorrow, we'll add another 1%, and so on. You still dare to play tricks on me? You're really tired of living. And what I'm owed, give it to me right now."
Hearing his reply, Xuan Mingtian became even angrier. All he wanted was a share of the profits, not shares.
Given his position as chairman of Devon Corporation, he could easily complete a contract like this at any law firm in under half an hour.
This bastard is really something else. Not only did he stall for time before, but now he's resorting to petty tricks.
The more Xuan Mingtian thought about it, the angrier he became. He picked up a wooden chair next to him and strode towards the other person.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
In full view of everyone, Xuan Mingtian grabbed a chair and smashed it hard against Zifuqi Mujin. After smashing the chair to pieces in three blows, he didn't forget to kick him.
Everyone was taken aback by the scene.
In Professor Oak's mind, Xuan Mingtian was definitely not a person who would act impulsively so easily; there must be some unspeakable secret behind it.
"Xiao Tian, why did you beat him up?"
At this moment, Grandma Li asked with a puzzled look, because what had just happened had left her completely confused.
"That bastard, such a simple matter could be resolved in half an hour by having a lawyer come over. This damn thing made me wait for two whole days, and now he says he'll handle it tomorrow. Does he think I'm stupid?"
Xuan Mingtian practically roared as he spoke. It was clear how furious he was.
"Ahem, Young Master Xuan, I... I'll call and have someone make arrangements right away."
Despite being beaten up, the physical constitution of humans in the Elf world is indeed impressive. They managed to endure the pain and speak so quickly.
"Uncle Xiao, find out the location of all their family members. If the matter cannot be resolved today, bury their sons first."
Zifuqi Mujin's earlier words finally ignited Xuan Mingtian's anger. If they couldn't resolve this today, although he had promised Professor Oak not to kill them, their families would absolutely have to be buried.
These menacing words terrified Grandma Li.
However, after hearing Xuan Mingtian's words, she shook her head speechlessly. Knowing that the other party had such great strength, to still resort to such petty tricks was simply courting death.
Blair and Zivchi Mujin exchanged a glance before turning their attention to the three who had come to mediate. They detected disdain in their eyes.
Left with no other option, I had to make a phone call and prepare all the necessary documents.
