“No need, I have things to attend to at home, I'll take my leave first.” Cold Fox rushed to leave, as if afraid of getting contaminated by something dirty.
Lei Ze watched the other party's back, wanting to say something but stopping, finally turning it into a long sigh.
“Lei En! I advised you, you can only see the most ideal future, but not the most realistic one. Why wouldn't you be more discreet?” Lei Ze thought sadly in his heart.
His grandson was too arrogant, and today's outcome seemed predestined.
Two Champion-level trainers and a Champion-level精灵, yet no one at the精灵 Center could save Lei En's life. This was as outrageous as a封号天王 being assassinated in their own territory.
“Investigate Yu Zhonggang's background,” Lei Ze commanded the Heavenly King beside him.
After a moment, the Heavenly King trainer handed the phone to Lei Ze: “All of Yu Zhonggang's information is on here.”
Lei Ze took the phone, glanced at it, and sneered: “Since he's already dead, then leave the reward to his descendants. Take a 吕钢龙精灵 egg from the family and send it to Qingyun Dojo.”
“Ah?”
The Heavenly King trainer looked at Lei Ze in confusion.
Was the old family head senile? Instead of settling accounts after the fact, he was actually giving the other party a reward?
“Regardless of whether it was his fault or not, one thing cannot be denied: there were quite a few Heavenly King trainers in the精灵 Center at the time, but he was the only one who went to support Lei En at Arena 1.”
“Not only can we not settle accounts after the fact, but we must also reward him handsomely. Otherwise, how will the world view our Lei family?”
The 吕钢龙精灵 egg was indeed precious, but it could also be used as a model of spending a fortune to attract talent.
If someone is willing to help our Lei family in times of crisis, even if the mission fails, our Lei family rewards them with a quasi-legendary精灵 egg. What if the mission succeeds?
This was the information Lei Ze wanted to convey to the outside world, because next, their Lei family would launch a crazy revenge against the Wang family.
Lei Ze certainly knew there were people behind the Wang family; an operation of this scale was definitely not something the Wang family could accomplish. But the top priority was to demonstrate the Lei family's strength, not to avenge his grandson's death.
Therefore, the Wang family had to pay the price, otherwise the Lei family's prestige would be completely lost. This was what the aristocratic family feared the most.
As an aristocratic family, they could inspire fear, or they could inspire admiration, but they must never be looked down upon!

精灵 Center.
Si Kongzhen listened expressionlessly to the report from the person in charge of the精灵 Center.
“The outermost layer of the Alliance Treasury was looted, and then the ecological park was also emptied? The main thing is that the complete cultivation data of the starter精灵s was also stolen?” Si Kongzhen's words became heavier and heavier as he spoke.
In the end, it could even be said that he was furious.
The first thing was acceptable, the second thing could barely be accepted, but the last thing really touched the bottom line of the Kyushu Alliance.
After glancing coldly at the person in charge, who was covered in sweat, Si Kongzhen coldly pronounced: “You can wait to be purged.”
After speaking, Si Kongzhen quickly contacted the president of the Kyushu Alliance by phone.
“President, something bad has happened! The starter精灵 cultivation data of the Ancient Capital精灵 Center has been stolen.”
The president of the Alliance headquarters' expression changed when he heard this, and he quickly asked: “How much was stolen?”
“Everything!” Si Kongzhen said through gritted teeth.
“Complete?”
“Yes.”
The Alliance president said helplessly: “Then leave this matter to the Fairy Heavenly King to handle. Her Gardevoir is a Champion-level精灵, and now she's probably the only one who can find the lost data.”
“But…” Si Kongzhen hesitated, somewhat worried.
The president warned decisively: “As long as she can get it back, what if the Qu family takes away some of the data? The most important thing now is to retrieve the data.”
Si Kongzhen nodded, then hung up the phone: “Understood.”
“Qu Suxin…”
Si Kongzhen narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
Among the Four封号 Heavenly Kings, the most mysterious was that woman, and the most ambitious was also that woman.
As the only aristocratic family background among the Four Heavenly Kings, and also the only female one, Qu Suxin was a rather special existence.
First of all, the Qu family could not yet be called an aristocratic family, at most it could only be considered a wealthy family, because the Qu family had only been around for less than 200 years since its rise.
It was precisely because of this that Qu Suxin was able to become one of the Four封号 Heavenly Kings. The Alliance's way of playing had always been like this.
Supporting civilians to become wealthy families, then using wealthy families, and then using new aristocratic families to replace old aristocratic families, just like metabolism, repeating this until it completely collapsed.
In the Kyushu Alliance headquarters, in the president's office, the president who hung up the phone narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself: “The Qu family and the Yao family, it's time to decide the victor.”
…………
Qu Suxin, who was pretending to pursue the dark web, was stunned when she received the mission personally issued by the president.
“Can you believe how outrageous this is?” Qu Suxin looked at the Gardevoir beside her amusingly.
This wave of playing the thief-catching-thief behavior was really funny.
Gardevoir also said with a smile: “It seems that the Alliance's cooperation can save us more effort.”
“Then let's quickly complete the mission, that little guy is probably still waiting for his starter精灵s and data.”
She was originally worried that the Alliance would suspect her, but now it seemed that her previous worries were purely superfluous.
…………
A storm passed just like that. When Lu Li woke up the next morning, he immediately refreshed the headlines on his phone.
《Shock! Extreme weather, rare in a century, strikes the Ancient Capital, causing multiple people to suffer from frostbite!》
《The College Entrance Examination Competition was attacked by terrorists, causing casualties to multiple trainers participating in the competition.》
The first piece of news was the headline, and the College Entrance Examination Competition was even ranked second.
At this moment, Lu Li had a new understanding of the Alliance's power to control public opinion.
The Alliance actually suppressed such a dangerous event.
Especially the headline, even freezing to death was changed to frostbite. Lu Li didn't believe that there were no civilian casualties in this incident.
Not to mention the College Entrance Examination Competition, the Alliance actually tried to gloss over such a serious incident as terrorists attacking the精灵 Center.
The most outrageous thing was that the Alliance actually succeeded!
“This world is really terrible!” Lu Li exclaimed sincerely.
The Milotic next to him glanced lazily at Lu Li, then changed to a more comfortable sleeping position.
Having lived in a stinky ditch, Milotic knew too well how terrible this world was.
What Milotic didn't know was that the terribleness it understood and the terribleness Lu Li understood were two different things.
In the精灵 ecosystem,精灵s also eat精灵s.
In human society, it's the same.
At this moment,精灵s and humans seemed to have become the same species.
Oh! That's right, humans in this world are also精灵s, so it's not surprising.
After washing up, Lu Li went to the room next door to find Yu Lili.
Seeing Lu Li come in, Yu Lili, with dark circles under her eyes, said wearily: “Lu Li, I've decided to withdraw from the College Entrance Examination Competition.”
Lu Li asked: “Is it because of Uncle Yu's matter?”
Yu Lili shook her head: “That's just one of the reasons.”
“Okay, your current state is indeed not suitable for participating in the competition.” Lu Li didn't try to persuade her further.
Yu Lili continued: “By the way, the person in charge of the精灵 Center just called me. My dad's body hasn't been found, but Bastiodon's精灵 Ball has been found.”
Hearing this, Lu Li quickly asked: “Do you want me to go with you?”
Yu Lili shook her head: “No need, there's Bronzong and the others, nothing will happen.”
Perhaps because she had just experienced the pain of losing her father, Yu Lili seemed to have grown up overnight, and no longer had the previous youthful vitality.
“Okay.”
At this moment, the doorbell rang. Hearing the movement, Lu Li stood up and explained: “I ordered breakfast for you, eat something, you didn't eat last night either.”
Yu Lili nodded, the sad emotions had not yet faded, but the empty stomach was indeed reminding her that she should eat something.
“Please come in.” After Lu Li finished speaking, two waiters pushed the dining cart in.
The waiter respectfully asked: “Excuse me, sir, this is the breakfast you ordered, should I put it on the table?”
Lu Li nodded: “Yes.”
The breakfast at the 沙皇 Grand Hotel was actually quite rich, but Lu Li wasn't the kind of person who didn't understand the situation, knowing that Yu Lili definitely wouldn't be in the mood to taste the delicacies at this moment.
So he only ordered two simple breakfasts, two simple breakfasts were placed on the table: steaming oatmeal porridge, perfectly toasted whole wheat bread, and a cup of green tea with a faint aroma.
Yu Lili's expression was a little lonely, her eyes were red and swollen, obviously she didn't sleep well last night. Despite this, she still tried to squeeze out a smile, trying to make this morning look less heavy.
Yu Lili jokingly said as if to lighten the mood: “You can't just watch me eat, right?”
Hearing this, Lu Li gently held Yu Lili's hand, giving silent support. Lu Li knew that at this time, words seemed powerless.
Moreover, Lu Li also knew what kind of person he was. He himself was not good at comforting people.
As if receiving great encouragement, Yu Lili picked up a piece of bread and chewed slowly, as if every bite was full of memories.
“My dad's best at making toast and instant noodles, and he also fries eggs well.” Yu Lili said sadly.
Lu Li didn't speak, just silently looked at the other party.
For a 16-year-old girl, everything that happened yesterday was really too much of a nightmare.
Watching her father die in front of her, and in such a tragic way, the mental shock and psychological blow Yu Lili received was definitely unspeakable.
After eating breakfast slowly, Yu Lili left the hotel alone to claim the精灵s left by Yu Zhonggang at the精灵 Center.
Lu Li, who returned to his room, went into the bathroom and started washing the bodies of the two精灵s.
“Hot~”
(Trainer, do you think we are too weak?)
“Na~”
(That's right, I think my strength is also improving too slowly.)
Lu Li: “……”
Lu Li said softly: “Good! Just say this at home, you'll get beaten up outside.”
A Tropical Dragon that is less than three months old and at the Elite level says it's too weak, wouldn't those trainers who haven't been able to break through to the Elite level in their entire lives just jump off a cliff?
Then Lu Li had to encourage: “Don't have too much pressure, your current strength is already the end point that most people pursue in their entire lives.”
Tropical Dragon's growth rate was too fast, Lu Li was afraid that his trainer level couldn't keep up with Tropical Dragon's growth rate, after all, his current strength was only Senior level.
Milotic's improvement rate was indeed a bit slow, mainly because the main effect of the 美灵丹 was not to improve strength.
Just as Lu Li finished bathing the two精灵s, the ringtone of the phone on the desk suddenly rang.
Looking at the name of the caller, Lu Li quickly answered the phone.
“Lu Li, are you okay? I only saw the news today, and I just found out that something happened on your side.” Yao Yifei's anxious voice came from the phone.
Lu Li smiled and joked: “Of course I'm okay, if something really happened, I wouldn't be able to answer your call.”
“But Sister Fei, you found out too late, right?” Lu Li continued to tease.
This Gym Leader Yao Yifei was definitely unqualified, she only found out about it a day later.
Yao Yifei also retorted a little embarrassedly: “I'm not in the gym, and the Alliance didn't say anything about this, the southern region is so far away from the northern region, how could I know.”
Yao Yifei, who was not in the mood to chat with Lu Li, then revealed a big secret.
“I specifically checked just now, and I found that except for you and someone named Li Zhi, the other civilian trainers seem to have died in this attack.”
“It's normal, there's no shortage of people who bully the weak and fear the strong anywhere.” Lu Li had expected such a result.
But one thing, Lu Li was quite surprised.
“How did that civilian trainer named Li Zhi survive? Could it be that Li Zhi is also like me, good at hugging big thighs?” Lu Li thought in surprise.
With the scale and posture yesterday, it was impossible for civilian rookie trainers to survive in that turmoil.
After all, who would have thought that even the safest精灵 Center was not safe?
Although he complained, Lu Li didn't forget the business.
Lu Li asked: “Weren't they followed by protectors?”
“In fact, things are more terrible than you think, those civilian trainers' protectors are all dead, you must know that those people are all old-brand Gym Leader level trainers.”
Yao Yifei's tone also carried some lingering fear, and finally understood why Lu Li insisted on pulling that大佬 Qu Suxin over.
Based on the current known information, if Lu Li was not followed by a Champion level精灵, then the outcome would definitely not be better than the civilians who were killed.
“I heard that Gym Leader Yu died?” Yao Yifei asked again.
Lu Li nodded: “Yes! He was cut in half.”
Yao Yifei complained: “I went to the Gym Leader forum and took a look, Gym Leader Yu should be the most unlucky Heavenly King level trainer, the only Heavenly King level trainer who died in yesterday's turmoil was Gym Leader Yu.”
Yao Yifei couldn't help but sigh at Yu Zhonggang's death.
That was a Heavenly King trainer, how could he fall so easily?
Thinking about the movement yesterday, Lu Li frowned and asked: “Didn't any Heavenly King level精灵s die yesterday?”
"Of course, the alliance lost three Elite Four-level Pokémon, as for the others, I don't know. But Elite Four-level trainers, only Yu Zhonggang died."
Lu Li: "..."
