Pokémon: Master System.

To hell with it, I can't suffer myself. It would be a waste not to eat. I'll eat first. This is Xiao Wanyu's way of showing her appreciation.

While eating cake, Xia Yu was thinking about how to deal with Long Yanning and Xiao Wanyu. If he continued to act like this with Xiao Wanyu, Long Yanning would find out about their relationship sooner or later.

There is no airtight wall in the world.

What should I do?

Xia Yu sighed, scratched his head, and felt a headache coming on, as if his brain was about to grow, but he couldn't think of a good solution.

Finally, he got up and walked to the hotel's floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at Montenegro through the glass, staring blankly at the red taillights of cars on the street.

I'm such a fucking scumbag.

…………

Xia Yu remained stunned for more than ten minutes until a wave of weariness washed over him, and he finally came to his senses, realizing that it was already late at night.

Xia Yu stretched and yawned. He really wanted to sleep, but before he went to sleep, he still had the gift Su Muzi had given him to open.

Thinking of the gift Su Muzi gave him, Xia Yu felt a little apprehensive.

With Long Yanning and Xiao Wanyu already in the mix, wouldn't it be even more chaotic if Su Muzi were added to the mix?

Taking a deep breath, Xia Yu slowly unwrapped the exquisite packaging, revealing the box inside.

Xia Yu gently opened the box and found that it was divided into two parts: one was a small, exquisite gift box, and the other was a thick photo album.

Looking at the photo album, Xia Yu felt a sense of unease.

Xia Yu first opened the gift box, inside which was an exquisite men's watch. Although Xia Yu didn't know much about watches, he knew from the exquisite design that it must be quite valuable.

Setting the watch aside, Xia Yu turned his gaze to the exquisite photo album. He took a deep breath and slowly flipped through it. The first photo that caught his eye immediately brought a look of surprise to Xia Yu's face.

The photo isn't particularly clear; in fact, it's a bit blurry.

In the pitch-black night, under bright lights, nimble forest lizards, grumpy little dragons, and adorable buzzing bats are training diligently.

Xia Yu immediately recognized this as the training ground of the Dragon-type Secret Realm. The date on the signature was September 26th of last year, along with a line of smaller print.

"This is the first day I've really looked at you seriously."

Flipping through the thick photo album, Xia Yu found that it was full of pictures of himself. At the beginning, most of the pictures were of Xia Yu training in the secret realm, and later they were pictures of Xia Yu competing in the college cup.

The exciting battle of Charizard, the evolution of Nombat, Mega Evolution, and Xia Yu's poster.

There are even many photos that Xia Yu herself doesn't know about. No wonder Su Muzi is always playing with her phone and secretly taking pictures of me.

Each photo was labeled with the date and its significance, until the last photo, which captured Xia Yu's birthday luncheon.

Congratulations on turning nineteen!

…………

Xia Yu closed the photo, silently put away Su Muzi's gift, washed up, lay on the bed, and stared blankly at the ceiling.

I really don't want to be a jerk.

…………

The night passed, and Xia Yu didn't wake up until ten o'clock the next morning. He checked the time, washed up quickly, changed into a designer suit, and put on the designer watch that Su Muzi had given him.

Now that he has the Ditto mask, he can start investigating the Fu family more thoroughly. However, Xia Yu needs to lure the fish in and get the Xia family to invite him into the underground black market and casino.

According to Xia Yu's plan, he intended to disguise himself as a wealthy businessman from out of town, show off his wealth, travel to Heilong City, play the role of a fat sheep, attract the attention of the Fu family, and make contact with them.

Find opportunities to enter the One Heart underground black market or One Heart casino.

To convincingly portray a wealthy businessman, Xia Yu specially prepared this tailor-made suit. Xia Yu already has an excellent physique; tall with long legs, wearing a sharp suit and getting a makeover, he looks just like a top male model.

His appearance is good enough, but something is missing.

Those are drivers, bodyguards, subordinates, and secretaries.

However, Xia Yu made ample preparations to ensure the smooth execution of this mission.

He has already found two suitable helpers.

…………

"Dong dong."

There was a knock on the door.

"coming."

Xia Yu's eyes lit up. He went to the door, opened it, and a figure walked into the house.

Chapter 399 Qin Lang

Standing outside was Xie Tianming, whom I hadn't seen in a long time. He should have been in the Tiandu Plateau wilderness patrol team for special training at this time.

However, in order to successfully complete this mission and also to train and develop Xie Tianming, Xia Yu specifically requested to borrow Xie Tianming for a few days from Xu Shanhe, the captain of the patrol team.

"Boss." After not seeing him for several months, Xie Tianming had become more capable, his figure slightly thinner, but he looked even more rugged.

"How have you been these past few months?" Xia Yu asked Xie Tianming with a smile.

He trusted Xie Tianming to a certain extent because of a series of events that happened in the Wilderness District. Xie Tianming had also signed a contract with his family. Of course, the most important thing was that Xie Tianming was his father's disciple, making him half a member of the Xia family.

"It's been very fulfilling," Xie Tianming said. "It's just been a bit boring lately."

"How's your Infernape's strength?" Xia Yu continued to ask.

"It has already reached the overlord level," Xie Tianming said honestly.

While this growth rate can't compare to Xia Yu's overpowered abilities, it's still considered fast compared to normal circumstances.

"Not bad." Xia Yu nodded, then continued, "You can drive, right?"

"I know a little. I only have a driver's license," Xie Tianming said honestly.

"Just a little bit is enough. Make the most of your time to practice. I'll come pick you up from the wilderness area after your six-month intensive training with the patrol team is over. From now on, you'll work with me." Xia Yu asked, "How's Gao Yanxin doing?"

“He was under immense pressure, not only from internal competition, but also from external pressure from China since Roger’s death,” Xie Tianming said. “The mortality rate was extremely high.”

"I understand. By the way, you should rest for a while. There's another person who will be here soon."

Just as Xia Yu finished speaking, the doorbell rang again.

"They're here. Let's go greet them."

…………

"Squeak."

The door opened, and Sylvia, dressed in casual clothes, appeared in the doorway.

"You're finally here. Come in and have a seat." Xia Yu first invited Sylvia into the house, but Sylvia took out a small bag from behind her back and handed it to Xia Yu: "Boss, I heard from Sister Wanyu that yesterday was your birthday. This is a gift I prepared for you."

Gift?

Xia Yu now feels scared just hearing the word "gift".

"you……"

Xia Yu wanted to say something, but since the purchase had already been made, he couldn't refuse, so he could only shake his head and say, "Don't send it next time."

"Okay." Sylvia nodded. "Try it on first and see if it looks good."

"what?"

"belt."

…………

With his two helpers now in place, Xia Yu could begin executing his plan.

Xie Tianming plays the role of bodyguard and driver, while Sylvia plays the role of secretary, who can also provide assistance using her hacking skills.

"Let's go have a lavish lunch first," Xia Yu said with a smile. "Today, I only have one task: spend money, spend as much money as I want."

That's right, this is Xia Yu's simple and straightforward plan: play the role of a sucker and wait for someone to come to him.

…………

The three of them first went to a fancy restaurant for a sumptuous lunch, and then in the afternoon they went to a nearby shopping district and began a shopping spree.

Sylvia was the most excited of them all. She hadn't experienced this kind of shopping frenzy in years. She stopped at every store and carefully selected items.

She would shop for both men's and women's clothing. She would try on the women's clothing herself and let Xia Yu try on the men's clothing.

At first, Sylvia was trying things out out of thrift and wouldn't buy anything she didn't particularly like. But under Xia Yu's constant encouragement—"It looks good!" "Buy it!" "Money is just paper!" "How can you lure the snake out without spending a little more money?"—she was swayed by his words.

Sylvia gradually began to lose herself, and before she knew it, she had bought a lot of things.

Of course, Sylvia is actually a very practical girl. Because Xia Yu paid for it, she bought very few things for herself. Most of the clothes she bought were for Xia Yu, Xiao Wanyu, Liu Yunhan, and Liu Yunxuan.

…………

By the end of the afternoon, Xie Tianming was covered in shopping bags, but he didn't complain at all and dutifully took on the role of a laborer.

"Let's go to a high-end club for a massage tonight, all of us together," Xia Yu said with a smile.

…………

Two days later, thanks to Xia Yu's financial offensive, the entire hotel knew that a tycoon who spent lavishly had come to their establishment, thus making a name for himself.
