Pokémon: Master System.

His future is incredibly bright, and with time, Xia Yu's influence in China is only growing. His future is clear, and no one wants to antagonize him.

Back in his seat, Wu Yaozu, who was sitting next to him, quickly leaned over and whispered, "Damn, Brother Yu, why didn't you say you invited Teacher Chi and Teacher Long?"

"You didn't ask either?" Xia Yu said with a smile.

"Shouldn't you have reported this to room 508?" Wu Yaozu put his arm around Xia Yu's shoulder while looking down on his two other roommates. "Look at Jiahao and He Zhizhou, they're such cowards, they don't even dare to speak loudly."

Xia Yu and Wu Yaozu looked at their two roommates and found that they were sitting upright and stiff, just like students in class, with serious expressions that made them laugh.

"What are you laughing at?" Xu Jiahao was completely baffled.

"That's all." Xia Yu shook his head, turned his gaze to Wu Yaozu, and asked, "By the way, how are things going with you and that Ms. Zhong Qing?"

"Everything is under control, just watch. I've got this in the bag. I wouldn't say it's a sure thing, but it's practically guaranteed." Seeing Wu Yaozu's confident demeanor, Xia Yu shook his head.

"Oh," Xia Yu replied perfunctorily.

…………

The lunch was quite lavish, and the young people started chatting about all sorts of topics while eating. Naturally, the sinking of the King Cruiser a couple of days prior was also on the agenda.

Wu Yaozu brought up the topic. He had clearly been reading a lot of gossip online lately, and said with a mysterious look, "Have you heard about the sinking of the King Cruiser a couple of days ago?"

Wu Yaozu's words immediately piqued the interest of everyone at the table.

Chi Hanqing turned to look at Chi Hanxiao and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Chi Hanxiao's expression was normal.

Chi Hanqing had just escaped death on the King's Ship, and in order to ease her emotions, he specially brought her out for a walk.

It's also a good opportunity to get to know these talented young people, so that Chi Hanxiao won't spend all his time associating with those frivolous friends and neglecting his duties.

Su Muzi replied, "I've heard about it."

"Did you know?" Wu Yaozu said in a low voice, "I saw some inside information online. It is said that the King's sinking was caused by an attack on the King. Someone posted photos of the incident online. Although they were quickly deleted and were a bit blurry, it is not hard to tell that it was Reggie Ellage."

"Regielech!"

The people at the table had different expressions; some clearly already knew the inside story of the King's sinking, while others had obviously only just found out.

For example, Su Muzi and Long Yanning only just found out, because neither of them was interested in these things, and no one told them these gossips, so they naturally didn't know much about them.

Others, such as the Chi sisters, obviously already knew the gist of the matter.

"Yes, it's Regice. The internet says the real reason the King sank was because the legendary Pokémon trainer who owned Regice got into a fight with a mysterious trainer who used a giant Lapras and a huge Darkrai, which caused the King sank!"

Wu Yaozu now looks like an information broker: "Someone even recorded a video at the time, but unfortunately it can't be released; it's been deleted. The internet says that the two trainers fought because they wanted to kidnap someone."

Listening to Wu Yaozu's gossip, Chi Hanxiao smiled slightly. It was obvious that Wu Yaozu had been deceived by the false information circulating online, which was getting more and more outrageous.

She, as the person involved, knows the real situation better than anyone else.

The others around them listened with great interest and quickly asked, "The trainers of Regice and Darkrai fought fiercely, who won in the end?"

"It seems to be that mysterious trainer who owns a giant Lapras. His Lapras is practically the ruler of the ocean, having a significant advantage in terrain," Wu Yaozu said.

"Who do they want to kidnap? The person being kidnapped must be someone important." The group continued to press for answers.

"Of course it's not simple. There have been speculations online, but this morning news from overseas revealed that the kidnapped person is named Andrew, the son of Mayer, the champion of the British Empire."

"The champion's son?!" The crowd exclaimed in surprise, clearly shocked. "How dare they kidnap the son of champion Maye?"

Why did they kidnap the son of the champion named Mayer?

"Is it for money or revenge?"

…………

While everyone was engaged in a heated discussion, Xia Yu buried his head in his food, appearing indifferent and aloof. At the same time, he secretly slipped his hand under the table and gently squeezed the delicate hand of Teacher Long beside him, causing Long Yan Ning to blush. She turned and glared at him fiercely.

“Of course, these messages are not guaranteed to be true; they are all rumors,” Wu Yaozu said. “However, another message is guaranteed to be true.”

“You can check the news released by Champion Mayer. Although the specific ransom was not announced, it is estimated that the cash alone is worth hundreds of millions, not including other items.” Wu Yaozu spoke eloquently, like a surfing expert: “Moreover, Champion Mayer also released information about the kidnappers. Currently, they know nothing except that the kidnappers are Chinese.”

"The ransom is several hundred million? No wonder they kidnapped the champion's son. Once they kidnapped him, they'd be set for life."

"That person is Chinese? Isn't it possible he might kidnap you?"

"Han Qing, Han Xiao, and Shi Chuchu, you also need to be careful. Your grandfather is also a champion."

…………

When she heard someone call her name, Shi Chuchu remained calm. Or rather, from the moment she sat down at the table, she maintained a cold expression, completely refusing to participate in the discussion or express any opinions. She simply ate her food quietly, keeping silent.

Shi Chuchu possessed the classic beauty of an Eastern woman: long hair, a slender waist, and a white dress. Her features were strikingly beautiful. Her eyes sparkled with a hint of aloofness, and she exuded an air of coldness that kept people at a distance. Her temperament was elegant and refined, gentle and gentle as jade, pure as a fairy.

Shi Chuchu didn't react at all, but Chi Hanxiao had an extremely fiery temper. She was already in a bad mood because everyone was slandering the "kidnapper" who saved her life, and now that she was being dragged into it, she finally found an opportunity to speak directly: "Don't be fooled by those fake news on the Internet. The truth is not like that."

Chapter 394 Birthday Party

Upon hearing Chi Hanxiao speak, everyone's gaze immediately turned to her.

Chi Hanxiao remained calm and continued, "What you're seeing are all fake news online; they're not entirely true."

"The truth is that Regierech's trainer launched the attack first, destroying the King and causing it to sink, and has been hunting down Andrew ever since."

"With nowhere else to turn, Andrew eventually fled to the sea. At the time, the King was about to sink, and there were many survivors floating on the sea. Andrew wanted to hide among them, using the innocent survivors as cover for himself." Chi Hanxiao continued without stopping, "And in order to force Andrew out, Regigigas's trainer ordered Regigigas to launch an indiscriminate attack on all the survivors in the sea. If he had really done that, given the situation at the time, at least several hundred or even thousands of people would have died."

"Just as Regigigas's lightning was about to strike, the mysterious trainer was forced to intervene in order to protect all the survivors at sea." Speaking of the mysterious trainer, Chi Hanxiao recalled the scene of being rescued, his eyes seemingly shining. He paused before continuing, "Then both sides were wary of each other's strength and neither made a move rashly."

"In the end, the two legendary Pokémon trainers reached an agreement: Regice's trainers can only kill Andrew and cannot harm anyone else, especially Chinese people."

"Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Andrew had no choice but to flee for his life. In the end, he forcibly took the Chinese man hostage and forced the trainer of the giant Lapras to rescue him. The mysterious trainer was forced to take action again to protect the Chinese man."

"If the Chinese rescue team hadn't arrived soon, they definitely would have started fighting."

"Regierech's trainer could only flee, and Andrew's act of taking Chinese hostages also angered the trainer of Giant Lapras, who then forcibly kidnapped him in a fit of rage."

"Actually, that mysterious trainer never intended to kidnap Andrew at first."

"If you ask me, Andrew really deserves to die, he deserves to die! If I were the kidnapper, I wouldn't even ask for the ransom, I would just kill him."

…………

It has to be said that Chi Hanxiao has a very fiery temper; she started yelling at Andrew right there on the table.

Of course, it's not her fault. After all, Andrew kidnapped her, and apart from a very small number of people with Stockholm syndrome, normal people would feel disgusted by kidnappers.

Chi Hanxiao was no exception.

Hearing her sister's words, Chi Hanqing also showed an awkward smile. Her sister has always had this kind of personality, completely unlike a lady, and is very straightforward and has been completely spoiled.

"Han Xiao, speak properly," Chi Hanqing said to Han Chi Han Xiao.

After hearing Chi Hanxiao's words, many people present were clearly skeptical, asking, "Are you telling the truth? How do you know so much?"

“I was on the King’s Ship at the time, what do you think?” Chi Hanxiao retorted directly, “If you don’t believe me, I’ll show you the King’s Ship ticket purchase records on my phone.”

When Chi Hanxiao produced the ticket purchase record, a commotion erupted in the room, and no one questioned what she had just said. After all, nothing is more convincing than the testimony of the person involved.

"So you saw Regilleux and the giant Laplace with your own eyes?"

Was it dangerous at the time?

Were you scared when the ship sank?

…………

Next, Chi Hanxiao became the center of attention at the gathering, with many people asking her about what had happened on the King's Ship.

Chi Hanxiao responded to each question, describing the two mysterious trainers. In her words, Coffin-3 became a villain who committed all kinds of evil, while Xia Yu became a righteous Chinese hero.

"That mysterious trainer must be Chinese. I don't know why, but when I heard him say that we can't hurt Chinese people, I felt incredibly safe."

"Really?"

"So, that person is actually quite nice."

…………

Hearing everyone's praise, Xia Yu was also feeling smug, but he didn't participate in the discussion. He would rather spend that time secretly interacting with Long Yan Ning.

…………

"Brother Yu." But Wu Yaozu, who was oblivious to Xia Yu's presence, kept bothering him. After a while, he leaned over to Xia Yu again and asked, "Speaking of which, you're a well-known figure now. What if you get kidnapped?"

Xia Yu smiled dismissively and whispered to Wu Yaozu, "It doesn't matter, I will take action."

"You're just bragging. The high school cup champion thinks he can beat a legendary Pokémon trainer? How come you can brag even more than me?"

"hehe."

Chi Hanxiao glanced at Xia Yu and thought to himself, "This guy is really good at bragging."

…………

After lunch, the afternoon was free time. The Chi sisters planned to go shopping, while Wu Yaozu, Xu Jiahao, and He Zhizhou decided to go back to the dormitory together.

Su Muzi looked at Xia Yu from afar, her eyes filled with anticipation, as if she wanted to spend some time alone with Xia Yu that afternoon.

Xia Yu also noticed the burning passion in Su Muzi's eyes and quickly spoke to Long Yanning seriously, "Teacher Long, I have something to discuss with you this afternoon, something about Dragon-type Pokémon. Master should have told you about it. Let's go together."

Listening to Xia Yu's serious nonsense, Long Yan Ning wanted to laugh, but she also noticed Su Mu Zi's gaze beside her, so she nodded and replied, "Okay."

Hearing Xia Yu and Long Yanning's words, Su Muzi swallowed back what she was about to say and asked, "Xia Yu! Are you free tonight?"

"Tonight...maybe not." Xia Yu needed to rush back to Heilong City that night, so naturally he wouldn't have time: "I need to get back to carry out a mission."
