Seeing the crisis resolved, the Principal breathed a sigh of relief, quickly stepped forward, and bowed deeply to Zhen Yu.
He bent his waist very low and said gratefully, "Lord Zhen Yu, thanks to your timely arrival today, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. On behalf of the school, I sincerely thank you for saving our lives."
Although Zhen Yu was actually a member of the Dawn, his public identity was that of Star City's highest Security Officer, a status that commanded great prestige in Star City.
Zhen Yu merely nodded slightly, his expression calm and indifferent, as if such dangerous matters were just ordinary official duties to him.
"Principal, you are too kind. Maintaining the peace of Star City is my duty, there is no need to worry so much."
As he spoke, he seemingly inadvertently cast his gaze towards Jiang Mo, his eyes as if meeting him for the first time, without the slightest ripple.
Jiang Mo understood, quickly stepped forward, and respectfully said, "Thank you, Lord Zhen Yu, for saving my life. Your Pokémon are so majestic and extraordinarily powerful, truly admirable."
Zhen Yu smiled faintly, his voice gentle, "You, young man, do have some discernment, but in this world, you still need to improve your own strength. You cannot always rely on the protection of others."
At this moment, the Alliance's support troops arrived one after another like a tide, and the Principal turned to arrange for personnel to deal with the post-battle wreckage and injured personnel, and other aftermath matters.
Jiang Mo, Lu Jiyin, and Zhen Yu returned to the lounge together.
Zhen Yu gazed at Jiang Mo, his expression instantly becoming serious and solemn: "Jiang Mo, are you aware that you are now a famous person in the Alliance? The reputation of a genius Researcher and a genius Breeder is spreading like wildfire, almost everyone knows about it."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mo's brows furrowed tightly, and he secretly pondered. Dr. Ouyang had already tried his best to hide himself, so logically, it shouldn't have caused such a stir, known to everyone.
In his opinion, there must be a mastermind behind the scenes deliberately pushing him to the forefront.
"Flattery to kill, this is clearly naked flattery to kill!" Lu Jiyin reacted very sharply and immediately said to Jiang Mo, "Jiang Mo, no wonder you became the target of the Hunter Organization. It seems someone is deliberately targeting you."
After Lu Jiyin left the school, Zhen Yu specifically kept Jiang Mo. As Jiang Mo approached, he lowered his voice and said earnestly, "Jiang Mo, you must be extremely careful during this period. Whether you are venturing out or active within the school, you must never relax your vigilance in the slightest."
"Although the Organization has not yet found out who is behind this, we will fully investigate. Once there is any news, we will notify you immediately."
Jiang Mo nodded solemnly, silently taking Zhen Yu's advice to heart.
"Thank you, Senior Zhen Yu. I will also always pay attention to my surroundings and not easily put myself in danger."
Just as he was speaking, Lin Zhiqiu, having received the news, rushed over anxiously, her face still showing traces of un-dissipated anxiety and worry.
Seeing Jiang Mo standing there safe and sound, she breathed a long sigh of relief, then her eyes widened in anger, and she said furiously, "What on earth is going on? How could someone lay hands on my son?"
A woman is inherently weak, but as a mother, she is strong. Jiang Mo was her Outrage, and the usually gentle and kind Lin Zhiqiu had lost her reason due to worrying about her son.
Jiang Mo quickly stepped forward to comfort her, "Mom, I'm fine now. Thanks to Senior Zhen Yu for arriving and helping in time."
Lin Zhiqiu looked at Zhen Yu, her gratitude evident: "Lord Zhen Yu, words cannot express my gratitude. If it weren't for you, I truly cannot imagine what a terrible outcome today would have been."
Zhen Yu quickly cupped his hands slightly, humble and polite: "Madam Lin, you are too kind. Protecting Star City is also my duty. However, this incident is likely extremely complex. It seems someone deliberately pushed Jiang Mo into the spotlight. We are currently fully investigating the mastermind."
Lin Zhiqiu's brows furrowed tightly, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes: "No matter who it is, anyone who dares to touch my son, I will never let them off lightly! Xiao Mo, come home with me and stay there. Don't run around outside during this time."
Jiang Mo hesitated, muttering softly, "Mom, I can't hide at home my whole life, can I?"
Just as Lin Zhiqiu was about to retort, Zhen Yu quickly said, "Madam Lin, the Alliance's defense system is quite complete. I believe that after this incident, those people will be more restrained after suffering a loss."
"At the same time, I will also arrange for special personnel to protect his safety, so you can rest assured."
Lin Zhiqiu pondered for a moment, then sighed helplessly: "Alright then, but Jiang Mo, you must listen to Lord Zhen Yu and not act recklessly."
Jiang Mo replied, "I know, Mom. I'll be careful and actively cooperate with the investigation."
In a secret stronghold, Zhen Yu's expression was solemn as he detailed today's dangerous encounter to Jiang Yutian.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yutian's eyes instantly turned as cold as frost, and a strong aura of anger surged from him.
He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, and said in a deep voice, "Hmph, to dare lay hands on Mo'er right under my nose, which scoundrel in the Alliance is so audacious!"
Zhen Yu had not seen the BOSS so angry for a long time. When Jiang Yutian got angry, the powerful aura made him feel immense pressure, and sweat beads continuously dripped from his forehead.
Zhen Yu lowered his head slightly: "BOSS, although the identity of the mastermind has not yet been determined, from the opponent's methods, their intention to flatter the young master to death is extremely obvious. They want to make him a target of public criticism, making him a target for attacks from all sides."
"But please rest assured, BOSS, I have arranged for capable personnel to secretly protect the young master, and I am also fully tracing the source of the information. I will definitely not let him fall into danger again."
Jiang Yutian paced back and forth anxiously in the room. After a moment, he stopped, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes: "This matter cannot rely solely on passive defense. Go and investigate the recent personnel changes in the Alliance and the power struggles of various factions. See who might harbor ill intentions towards Xiao Mo due to conflicts of interest or other reasons."
"I want to see who dares to touch my son, Jiang Yutian. Once I find the person behind this, I will make them pay a heavy price!"
Zhen Yu acknowledged the order: "Yes, BOSS, I will go now and will give you a result as soon as possible."
With that, he turned and quickly left, leaving Jiang Yutian standing alone in the room, his face stern, his thoughts in a jumble.
At the same time, Jiang Mo, who had returned home, was also feeling troubled. This feeling of being secretly targeted was truly awful.
Even though he had a Champion father, he still had to live in such trepidation, constantly guarding against this and that.
Jiang Mo couldn't help but inwardly complain about Jiang Yutian. His own son was being bullied, yet his father wasn't by his side. Thinking this, he felt even more aggrieved.
Pikachu, who was beside him, seemed to sense Jiang Mo's low mood. It jumped onto Jiang Mo's shoulder and patted Jiang Mo's back with its fluffy little paw, as if comforting him.
Pikachu was also extremely angry about what Jiang Mo had experienced today, but unfortunately, its current strength was too weak. If it could become stronger, it would be able to protect Jiang Mo well.
Jiang Mo looked at it and smiled slightly, "Pikachu, you are more considerate. Starting tomorrow, we will train harder. No matter what kind of monsters are out there, strength is the most important thing. As long as we are strong enough, no one can do anything to us!"
Even a clay figure has three parts of anger. Being targeted like this, then I, this young master, won't hide anymore!
What 'a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind', to hell with that! I, Jiang Mo, will become the most dazzling new star!
