The fifth king of the elves

Chapter 858 858. Smart people

Shinosuke was also a well-known wealthy businessman of Carlos in his ancestors, but these two generations were incapable, which caused their family to decline a little bit.

Shinosuke's father witnessed the decline of his family and fell apart. Although he restored some of its former glory with a little personal effort, he was not satisfied at all.

What he wants is to rejoin the ranks of Carlos's first-class family, not to be satisfied with making a little money.

At first, Shinosuke didn't understand why his father had to spend money crazily when he clearly had enough money to use, but later he was able to understand his father's behavior.

"The value of Union Coin 20 years ago is not at the same level as it is now. He has experienced such a thing, so he always feels that the money is not enough, and he wants a higher status."

"I can understand, I understand... After all, it costs a lot of money for my mother to be sick."

"but…"

Shinosuke's voice became a little sad.

"Hasn't he considered what I will become?"

"Does he think I'm still young and easy to cheat?"

"Throw me in the spotlight, he's counting the money, I'm his son, not a clown!"

"When I was young, he noticed my sensitivity to battles. He spent a lot of money and hired Carlos some famous trainers who had participated in the conference to train me."

"After I started to make a name for myself, he tried to attract more capital to pay attention to me!"

"At that time, I was ignorant, relying on my ability, looked down on this, looked down on that, offended many people, but still complacent, thinking that I am great."

Shinosuke's later panic came from her mother's teachings.

Mother did not dare to express her opinion to his father, so she had to teach Shinosuke the importance of independent thinking through education.

All these make Shinnosuke gradually change from an arrogant person to a smart person who is restrained, alert and able to think independently.

Breaking away from the arrogant self in the past, Shinosuke continued to play the role of a stinky kid who didn't grow up, and finally saw what the people around him were like.

It also corresponds to a story my mother told me.

There is a deaf man who cannot hear anything and is taken care of by a nurse every day.

The nurse took care of him with a smile every day, and kept talking to him even though he knew he couldn't hear him.

He always felt that the nurse was telling him interesting stories.

Until one day, the deaf man suddenly could hear the sound.

What he heard from the nurse was not beautiful voices and beautiful stories, but vicious curses.

"Keep being deaf so you know who your friends are and who are trying to take advantage of you, and choose the ones you think are worth making."

If it weren't for the help of Shinosuke's mother, he might still be very grateful to his father for making such a big stage for him.

In Shinosuke's eyes, Vanity Fair, which is envied by others, happens to be a great place for cooking people.

Everyone thinks that Shinnosuke is an egomaniac, and because of this, no one will be wary of Shinnosuke.

Everyone thinks that Shinnosuke is brainless and only offends people, but no one has ever seen clearly the other self under his face.

He really wanted to avoid this farce caused by his father, but he had nowhere to escape. In the depths of the game, he was just a pawn under the pressure of capital. If he was willful, his family would be backlashed by this force.

He may not care about his father, but he still has his own mother to take care of.

Before he is able to protect his mother, he must learn to be patient and to solve problems by himself.

When this incident completely went out of the circle and was played up by the capital as a regional confrontation, he saw hope.

The thinking of regional antagonism is a line that should not be crossed in the eyes of the alliance. The capital's repeated jumps will surely wake up those big figures who regard this matter as a child's play.

Sure enough, Caroline was gone.

Immediately afterwards, the most mysterious habitat on Sinnoh's side also sent people to contact and invite Shinosuke to the island.

When he got here, Shinosuke wanted to lose directly to Qi Dao, end the farce, and get away from it.

But he was worried that without a dazzling record, it would not be enough for the capital to make enough profits, and instead let the capital stay and continue betting.

Therefore, whether it is Binhai or Yangxin City, he must win all of them.

"Haven't you ever thought that even if this is the case, the capital may favor you and be unwilling to leave?"

Shinosuke smiled wryly: "Senior Luther, am I qualified to think about that kind of thing?"

"All I can do is do my part well, and the rest is up to God."

Shinosuke waited for the best situation, and Qi Dao appeared.

The regional antagonism caused by the capital was partly eliminated by the deafening words of a trainer in Sinnoh, and it hit Sijana again.

As the trainer of Shijima, the connections behind Higana are enough to offset the enthusiasm that Shinosuke cannot enjoy. Because of this defeat, the regional antagonism will be avoided and eliminated by the major media in a clever way.

"May I ask, is Sigana someone's apprentice on the island?" Shinosuke was still curious.

Luther satisfied him: "She is my disciple, and so is the one beside me. Let me introduce you by the way, her name is Acerola."

Shinosuke opened his mouth wide, and it took him a long time to suppress his unwillingness to show a complex expression of envy and jealousy.

He also wants to have an elder who can protect him from the wind and rain, instead of being exposed to the wind and rain and thinking about how to avoid the rain.

"I also have a few questions for you. Sirona has watched your battle video. You haven't made any progress since three years ago. Is this also a disguise?"

Shinosuke said ashamedly: "This is really not pretending. I have indeed encountered a bottleneck that I cannot break through. If I calm down and rest for a while, I may be able to find a way. Unfortunately, I have been due to off-site factors... hey."

"There is another question. Some people say that you really don't look like a teenager. This body seems to live in an old soul."

Luther wanted to blurt out and ask him if he knew the Starting Point Orphanage.

Shinosuke's expression darkened upon hearing this.

"The environment will make people grow up faster. Similarly, I also lost the right to play happily with my peers, and I also lost the right to choose to travel."

"If I had to choose, I'd like to use this maturity in exchange for the heartless days before. At least at that time, I wouldn't hate my father or everything around me."

After explaining everything clearly, Shinosuke apologized again, and he didn't feel that he was not wrong in this matter.

"I am an accomplice." This is how he defines himself.

Shinnosuke, who put on his hood again, told Luther that he would return to Carlos tomorrow, and then he would be depressed for a while.

"My father and those capitals should be preparing to squeeze out other surplus value from me."

"Let me guess, I, Lianke Binhai, the trainer of the two cities of Yangxin, fought in Veil City by myself, how can I be portrayed as a lone hero?"

It's not that Shinnosuke said that, Luther hadn't thought of such a packaging method, and thinking about the behavior of those people, it was indeed possible to do it.

Luther stopped Shinnosuke, who was about to leave, and gave him a piece of advice.

"I heard that there is a saying in a country in the vast ocean..."

"Hui Yiyao." Luther advised.

"Your mother is right. Keep pretending. You'd better pretend to be a fool. Over time, those around you who want to eat your abilities will leave."

"You can't make up for your wasted talent, but don't waste your intelligence. I'll give you a compliment. You are the smartest person I've ever seen at this age. At your age, I'm only worthy of being played like a monkey by you."

For too long, the flattery and compliments I have heard are too many to count.

I don't know why, but Luther's words seemed to have magical powers, which made Shinosuke burst into tears.

This is definitely the most sincere compliment he has ever heard. There is no utilitarian factor in this compliment, only the purest appreciation, and an elder's concern for himself.

"Thank you senior, I will continue to pretend. Please tell the other seniors on the island that I really don't want to come, but I have no choice."

Saying goodbye to Shinosuke, Luther and Acerola walked back to the gym slowly.

"I thought Master would consider accepting him as an apprentice."

Luther just smiled, but did not answer.

"Let me guess, there are two reasons for not accepting it. One is because you feel that you can't take care of the teachings of me and Sigana, and the other is that he needs to break through the current self and prove himself."

Luther helplessly stretched out his hand and poked Acerola on the forehead.

"Sometimes you are so smart that it gives me a headache. I was even thinking just now, who is more evil, you or Shinnosuke."

Acerola happily jumped up and down in front of Luther: "Acerola is not a monster, she is just a child."

"There are a few children who can always guess other people's thoughts and ideas so accurately, you will become a monster sooner or later."

Acerola only took Luther's words as a compliment and smiled.

"Is it true what master said about Hui Yiyao? Are smart people really easy to die early?"

Luther said: "This is an aphorism, Acerola, listen carefully, not everyone likes smart people, most people are afraid of smart people, and are afraid to stay with them."

"Few people are willing to admit that they are fools. When they are with smart people, they will look stupid. They will not think that it is their own incompetence, but they will hate why smart people are so smart."

"If you are smarter than others, you will be hated, you have to remember."

"The smarter you are in front of your friends, the better, because that's your friend."

"In front of strangers, the more stupid the better, pretending to be stupid can give you enough time to examine everyone."

The bouncing Acerola thought for a while, made a silent note, and then grabbed Luther's arm.

"Anyway, Master won't hate me, I just need to be a smart baby on Qidao."
