Everyone's attention was drawn over, and many people showed expressions of disgust and displeasure, but for a while, no one dared to step forward to stop him.
Jiang Mo and the others stood to the side, quietly watching this scene.
“Isn't that Fujiwara Ichiro, the scion of the Fujiwara Family? He relies on his family's influence to act like a tyrant in Neon Country, and now he's even causing trouble at the Alliance Building.” Someone in the crowd whispered.
“I heard he often bullies men and women and causes trouble in Neon Country, but this is in Xia Country, so he's probably going to suffer this time.” Another person chimed in.
Soon, relevant Alliance personnel rushed over.
A uniformed Alliance staff member stepped forward and said sternly, “This is the Alliance Building. Please mind your words and actions. Alliance law is strictly enforced here. No loud noises or troublemaking are allowed.”
Fujiwara Ichiro, however, remained unconcerned, still cursing and even attempting to lay hands on the staff member.
Just then, a clear, cold voice rang out: “Fujiwara Ichiro, have you caused enough trouble?!”
Everyone looked over at the sound and saw a woman in a splendid kimono slowly approaching. Her face was exquisite, and her eyes held a sense of authority.
When Fujiwara Ichiro saw Fujiwara Rine, he immediately reined himself in a bit, but still stubbornly said, “Rine, this woman dared to spill wine on me. How can I let her off so easily?”
Fujiwara Rine frowned and reprimanded him, “Aren't you ashamed? Losing control like this in the Alliance Building, and you still haven't apologized to this young lady.”
Fujiwara Ichiro's eyes widened, seemingly unable to believe his ears, and he said in surprise, “Make me apologize? I'm from the Fujiwara Family. She's just a server. Why should I?”
Fujiwara Rine's expression darkened, and she lowered her voice, emphasizing, “Don't forget, we are now on Xia Country's territory. Don't you understand who is in charge of the Shenzhou Alliance? When we come here, we must abide by the rules here, and your behavior will only tarnish the Fujiwara Family's reputation.”
Seeing that Fujiwara Rine was serious, Fujiwara Ichiro, though unwilling, dared not defy her and reluctantly apologized to the female server.
The female server, seeing Fujiwara Ichiro's aggressive gaze, quickly said it was fine; she just wanted to leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.
Fujiwara Rine turned to face the crowd, bowing slightly in apology and saying, “I apologize for the trouble. I will take him back and discipline him well. I hope everyone will not form a bad impression of the Fujiwara Family because of his rudeness.”
After speaking, she quickly left with Fujiwara Ichiro.
Jiang Mo watched Fujiwara Rine's departing back and thought to himself that Fujiwara Rine was a sensible person. Stopping Fujiwara Ichiro in such a situation was the correct action, maintaining the order of the Alliance Building and the reputation of the Fujiwara Family.
Zhen Yu whispered from the side, “Young Master, this Fujiwara Rine is the granddaughter of the Fujiwara Family head and holds a significant position in the Fujiwara Family. It is said that they discovered this secret realm.”
The Fujiwara Family was overjoyed when they discovered this new secret realm and wanted to secretly occupy it, but the secret realm was of a high level, and its appearance caused a great commotion, making it impossible to conceal from the Alliance.
Therefore, the Fujiwara Family had no choice but to report the secret realm, hoping that the Alliance would give them, as the discoverers of the secret realm, more benefits when distributing profits.
Jiang Mo and the others continued to stroll near the Alliance Building, and soon, they encountered Lin Junjun and other young people from the Lin family.
Lin Junjun was sharp-eyed and spotted Jiang Mo at a glance, immediately running over excitedly, “Brother Jiang Mo! I didn't expect to run into you here.”
Jiang Mo smiled and patted her head, “Jun Jun, out to play?”
At this moment, he noticed Da Shao Lu nearby and said with a smile, “Oh, Da Shao Lu is here too.”
Indeed, where Lin Junjun was, Da Shao Lu was also present.
Da Shao Lu looked at the interaction between Jiang Mo and Lin Junjun with a hint of jealousy and said, “Jiang Mo, you've caused quite a stir recently, publishing so many high-quality papers all at once. When you become successful in the future, you must remember to help out your brother here.”
Jiang Mo smiled slightly and said, “Of course! Of course!”
Then Jiang Mo turned sideways and introduced, “This is Lord Zhen Yu, the highest security officer of Star City Alliance. You should have met him before.”
“This is Lord Pan Yan, an Alliance Major General.”
Lin Junjun and the others listened, their eyes filled with admiration, and they all greeted the two.
After meeting near the Alliance Building, everyone chatted and walked along.
Lin Junjun, like a cheerful little bird, chattered excitedly, asking Jiang Mo how he researched Sylveon, and pestering Jiang Mo to help her capture an Eevee in the future.
Suddenly, Da Shao Lu's eyes darted around, and with a hint of mystery, he said, “Do you know? I just got news that there's going to be a special exhibition in this Alliance Building later.”
“I heard it's a completely new Pokémon, one that came from that recently discovered secret realm. No one had ever seen it before, and now many people are already heading that way. Should we go join the fun too?”
Upon hearing this, Lin Junjun's eyes instantly lit up, and she clasped her hands together excitedly, saying, “Really? Then let's go quickly! I really want to see what the new Pokémon looks like!”
As she spoke, she grabbed Jiang Mo's arm and shook it, her eyes full of anticipation.
Jiang Mo was infected by Lin Junjun's enthusiasm and smiled, nodding in agreement: “Alright, then we'll go take a look.”
Zhen Yu and Pan Yan exchanged glances and silently followed behind. The group then walked towards the exhibition area Da Shao Lu had mentioned.
Along the way, Da Shao Lu continued to build up the mysterious atmosphere, recounting snippets he had heard about this Pokémon.
As they walked, they could already see a faint crowd gathering ahead, which was presumably the exhibition area.
Lin Junjun impatiently quickened her pace, and the others followed closely, all eager to feast their eyes and see what was so unique about this mysterious Pokémon from the secret realm.
Upon reaching the exhibition hall entrance, they could already feel the lively atmosphere inside.
Everyone entered in single file and saw several Electrode displayed in the center of the exhibition hall, protected by a transparent energy shield.
However, compared to ordinary Electrode, these Electrode had wood-grain-like textures on their bodies, deeper eye sockets, and a sculpted wooden ball-like overall shape, giving them a strong three-dimensional feel.
Their facial expressions were not mischievous smiles but rather expressions of anger or sorrow, appearing mysterious and solemn, which drew exclamations of wonder from the surrounding audience, who all took photos.
Lin Junjun excitedly pulled Jiang Mo's arm and said, “Brother Jiang Mo, look how strange they are! They look so much like Electrode, but they're a little different!”
