While Lin Junjun was registering at the League Center, Jiang Mo walked to a corner and called Ye Hou.
The call connected quickly, and Ye Hou's boisterous voice came through: "Young Master, what can I do for you!"
Jiang Mo snorted coldly, his voice tinged with a hint of chilliness as he said: "Ye Hou, today in the black market, I met a black-clothed old man who didn't know his place. He didn't follow the rules when doing business; we had already agreed on the price and completed the transaction, but afterwards, he actually wanted to go back on his word, demanding that I pay the difference and trying to rip me off."
Ye Hou immediately became furious upon hearing this and shouted over the phone: "What? There's such a person? Young Master, isn't that clearly bullying? How dare he be so arrogant in our territory of Dawn? Does he not want to live anymore! Young Master, tell me, how should we handle it? I'll bring people to deal with him right now!"
Jiang Mo frowned slightly and slowly said: "That old man is still inside the black market. Bring a few reliable brothers and go find him for me. Let him know the consequences of offending me."
"But don't make too much of a scene inside the black market; after all, that place has its own rules. Bring him out of the black market before dealing with him."
Ye Hou responded with great alacrity: "Young Master, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll handle it perfectly. I'll make sure he learns his lesson for daring to cross Dawn."
"I'll gather the brothers now and head to the black market immediately. If I don't resolve this, then I'm not Ye Hou!"
"Mm, go quickly. I'll wait for your news."
After Jiang Mo hung up the phone, a meaningful arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. In the Star City area, he would not easily let go of anyone who dared to scheme against him.
When it came to playing gangster, Dawn was very experienced. That old man would never have imagined that he had offended someone who held grudges.
After receiving the order, Ye Hou immediately gathered a group of his subordinates and rushed towards the black market with an aggressive demeanor.
Outside the black market, the Dawn squad leader scratched his head and said to Ye Hou with a difficult expression: "Brother Hou, there are quite a lot of people going in and out of this black market, and there are many old men in black clothes. Which one exactly are we looking for?"
Ye Hou frowned, also feeling unsure. Jiang Mo indeed hadn't told him what the old man looked like, only that he was wearing black clothes. This made things a bit tricky for a moment.
However, Ye Hou's fiery temper couldn't wait too long to distinguish carefully, nor was it good to go back to Jiang Mo, otherwise the Young Master would think he couldn't even handle such a small matter.
Ye Hou gritted his teeth, waved his hand, and shouted: "Who cares! Since we've started, let's finish it. Brothers, stake out outside this black market. As long as it's an old man in black clothes, grab them all. Better to mistakenly catch them than to miss the guy who dared to offend the Young Master!"
Upon hearing this, the subordinates responded in unison and immediately dispersed, finding their positions and glaring menacingly at the entrances and exits of the black market.
Not long after, an old man in a black robe slowly walked out, carrying a bag in his hand, looking like he had just finished a business deal.
Ye Hou's eyes sharpened, and with a wave of his hand, several subordinates immediately rushed up and quickly subdued the old man.
"What are you doing? In broad daylight, is there no law anymore!" The old man's face turned pale with fright, and he struggled, shouting loudly.
Ye Hou walked forward and sneered: "Hmph, who cares about your damn law, blame yourself for wearing black clothes today!"
Black-clothed old man's internal monologue: What did I do to you by wearing black clothes...?
Subsequently, several more black-robed old men were successively caught and brought out, each one trembling with fright, shouting that they were innocent. But Ye Hou paid no attention to any of that; as long as they were old men wearing black clothes, they were all taken away.
Meanwhile, at the League Center, after Jiang Mo accompanied Lin Junjun to complete all the procedures, Lin Junjun curiously asked: "Brother Jiang Mo, was there something important when you made that call just now?"
Jiang Mo smiled, patted her head, and said: "It's nothing big, just dealing with a small problem. Don't worry about it. Let's hurry back so you can bond with your Fennekin."
Upon hearing this, Lin Junjun stopped asking questions and walked back with Jiang Mo, full of joy, talking to Fennekin along the way about what delicious and fun things she would prepare for it later.
When Jiang Mo and Lin Junjun returned home, as soon as they entered, they heard Lin Zhiqiu's voice from inside: "Xiao Mo must be back. That child Qingxue came looking for you today, saying she had something to tell you, but you weren't home then."
"I told her you went out with Jun Jun to choose her initial Pokémon, and she waited for a while before leaving."
Jiang Mo responded, changing his shoes as he said: "Got it, Mom. I'll call her back later to ask what's up."
Lin Junjun, hearing this from the side, immediately perked up, her eyes sparkling. She leaned closer to Jiang Mo and teased: "Brother Jiang Mo, Sister Mu Qingxue came to find you, it must be something very important, maybe she misses you, hehe."
Saying this, she winked at Jiang Mo, egging him on with a mischievous smile.
At this moment, Lin Zhiqiu walked out of the room and immediately saw Lin Junjun, her face instantly breaking into a surprised smile: "Oh, Jun Jun is here too! Auntie hasn't seen you in a long time."
As soon as Lin Junjun saw her aunt, she immediately pounced on her with delight, hugging Lin Zhiqiu's arm and beginning to Charm.
"Auntie, I missed you so much! Today, Brother Jiang Mo took me to pick out a super cute Fennekin! I love it so much. I'll bring it out to show you later."
Lin Zhiqiu smiled and stroked Lin Junjun's head, saying dotingly: "Oh, my dear niece, then Auntie must take a good look at your precious Pokémon. With it, you must train hard in the future and not Slack Off."
"Mm-hmm, I will definitely train it well. I've decided, from now on, I want to become an excellent Coordinator Trainer, and I want to take it to participate in the Gorgeous Competition and win many, many awards," Lin Junjun said, looking up with a proud expression.
Jiang Mo looked at the affectionate scene between the aunt and niece and couldn't help but smile, saying: "Mom, the Fennekin Jun Jun chose has excellent potential; it will definitely become very powerful in the future."
"That's wonderful! But Jiang Mo, you must help Jun Jun a lot. She's just starting to learn about these things and doesn't understand many aspects," Lin Zhiqiu said to Jiang Mo seriously.
"Mom, don't worry, I will definitely teach Jun Jun well and won't let her take any detours," Jiang Mo said helplessly, though he didn't understand anything about Coordinator Trainer matters either.
Lin Junjun, listening from the side, felt warmth in her heart. She shook Lin Zhiqiu's arm again and said: "Auntie, Brother Jiang Mo doesn't understand anything about Gorgeous Competition. He only knows how to fight and do research. Let me handle this myself."
"Haha, our Jun Jun is so sensible and hardworking, there will definitely be no problem!" Lin Zhiqiu said with a smile. The family chatted happily, and the whole house was filled with a warm atmosphere.
