Pokémon: Master System.

Xia Yu remained calm, regarding Han Xin's mediocre skills as nothing more than a joke.

Recently, Xia Yu encountered opponents who were at least at the near-champion level, with several Pokémon at the champion level, and even legendary Pokémon like Registeel.

Having grown accustomed to high-level matches, Xia Yu couldn't help but feel that Han Xin was there to make a joke when he suddenly encountered such a character.

Two Pokémon with near-Elite Four level strength want to cause trouble; I have no idea what he's thinking.

Actually, it's not Han Xin's fault. You have to understand that in his eyes, Xia Yu is just a high school cup champion who has a Gym Leader-level Pokémon.

Two near-Heavenly King level experts are more than enough to deal with Xia Yu.

…………

Compared to Xia Yu's composure, both Han Xin, who was in the police station, and Liu Xu, who was trying to find connections outside, felt a sense of impending storm.

Although Xia Yu did not make things difficult for them, the pressure from all sides made these private detectives, who frequently dealt with the police, feel suffocated and fearful.

Han Xin, in particular, still hasn't come to his senses how he fell into a deep sleep.

Failure is not terrible; what is terrible is not even seeing the enemy and falling into a deep sleep along with your two Pokémon.

Such strength is beyond the reach of even ordinary Elite Four level Pokémon; it would require at least a near-Champion level Pokémon or a Champion level Pokémon.

The thought sent chills down Han Xin's spine. He had offended such a powerful figure, and someone like him with no background wouldn't dare close his eyes at night.

This made Han Xin feel like he had been tricked; no wonder he was able to pay so much money to track and monitor Xia Yu.

It's true what they say, making money is hard, and getting rich is hard. With so much money, how could there not be something fishy going on?

…………

Just as Han Xin was lost in thought, a voice rang out from outside the door: "Han Xin?"

"Yes."

"you can go now."

…………

When Han Xin came out of the police station, Liu Xu had been waiting outside for a long time. Seeing that Han Xin was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and gave him a hug.

"What exactly happened last night?" Liu Xu stepped forward and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

"Go back first, don't ask any questions," Han Xin said seriously, then quickly pulled Liu Xu away.

…………

Meanwhile, inside a business hotel in the capital city.

Sitting opposite Xia Yu was a middle-aged man, who looked to be around forty years old. He was well-proportioned, handsome, and had a faint smile on his face as he looked directly at Xia Yu.

A man and a woman were sitting next to him.

The man was about thirty years old, wearing black-rimmed glasses and with a neat short haircut. He stood respectfully to the side, like a servant.

The woman was young and beautiful, looking to be only about twenty years old. She had a face full of collagen, a tall figure, wore light makeup and a suit, and always had a sweet smile on her face.

"Dr. Xia, I'm sorry, my men don't know the rules and have taken on jobs without permission, causing you trouble." The middle-aged man was Wu Chongwen, the behind-the-scenes boss of the detective agency, and a senior Elite-level trainer.

Xia Yu looked at Wu Chongwen with a calm expression, scoffing at his words.

He didn't believe a word of that nonsense about his subordinates taking on random jobs. As the behind-the-scenes owner of the detective agency, how could he not know what kind of jobs his people were taking?

"I'll punish myself with a drink as an apology to Dr. Xia." Wu Chongwen smiled, picked up the wine glass on the table, and drank it all in one gulp without hesitation.

Xia Yu looked at Wu Chongwen silently, his face expressionless, and said calmly, "Mr. Wu, I won't make things difficult for you. Just give me the employer's information."

Xia Yu's words made Wu Chongwen's smile pause slightly, but he quickly recovered, smiling to cover his embarrassment: "It seems Dr. Xia is not satisfied with my apology, so I will punish myself with three drinks."

After saying that, Wu Chongwen picked up his wine glass and drank three more glasses. He felt a burning sensation in his stomach, which made him feel uncomfortable.

Xia Yu remained seated, staring blankly at Wu Chongwen.

To be honest, Xia Yu doesn't take most Elite 1 trainers seriously at all, especially someone like Wu Chongwen who doesn't know his place.

He's just a Champion-level trainer, not even one of the Elite Four.

Although Xia Yu didn't care much about the surveillance incident, he had to make his stance clear.

If Wu Chongwen could get his forgiveness simply because he had a few drinks today, it would only encourage others to continue making mistakes, bringing endless trouble to himself and his family.

Therefore, Xia Yu must take a stand no matter what.

We must make an example of Wu Chongwen and teach him a lesson.

Xia Yu stared at Wu Chongwen with a cold face, without saying a word.

Seeing that Xia Yu wasn't buying it, Wu Chongwen gritted his teeth and turned to the young and beautiful woman beside him: "Xiaoxiao, it seems Dr. Xia doesn't want to drink with me. Come on, you drink with Dr. Xia. If Dr. Xia isn't satisfied today, you can keep drinking."

“Dr. Xia…” The woman named Xiaoxiao blinked her eyes, looking at Xia Yu with teary eyes, and then picked up the cup on the table and drank it all in one gulp.

As the strong liquor went down his throat, his brow furrowed slightly, and an expression of discomfort appeared on his face.

Seeing Wu Chongwen and Xiaoxiao doing this, Xia Yu smiled, looked at the two of them, and then took out two large bottles of liquor from the table and put them on the table with a soft sound.

"You like drinking, right? You can drink as much as you want here. If you need more, I'll have the waiter bring you more. If you like drinking, just keep drinking."

Xia Yu doesn't like being aggressive; he's a reasonable person. But when he encounters someone like Wu Chongwen, this is the only way he can resort to such methods.

"Xia Yu! What do you mean?" Wu Chongwen's face turned ugly, and Xiao Xiao, who was standing next to him, was also frightened and turned pale.

Hearing Wu Chongwen's words, Xia Yu smiled and looked at Wu Chongwen calmly: "Wu Chongwen, I only have one question for you: can you give me the employer's information? If you can, we can talk today; if not, I'll leave immediately."

Faced with Xia Yu's aggressive attitude, Wu Chongwen looked troubled: "Dr. Xia... as you know, there are rules in our line of work. If we sell our employer's information, we won't have a place in this industry anymore. Dr. Xia... how about this, name your price."

Xia Yu's lips curled up slightly as he looked at Wu Chongwen with a smile: "I understand what you mean."

After saying that, Xia Yu got up and walked towards the door.

"Dr. Xia!" Seeing that Xia Yu was about to leave, Wu Chongwen quickly called out to stop him. If it wasn't necessary, he really didn't want to become Xia Yu's enemy, but thinking of that person's promise, Wu Chongwen gritted his teeth and said, "We'll both be working in the capital from now on, there's no need to make things so awkward."

"You?" Xia Yu's sneer deeply stung Wu Chongwen.

Hearing Xia Yu's arrogant tone, Wu Chongwen's expression turned slightly cold: "Dr. Xia, this is the rule in our industry. Please don't make things difficult for us. Besides, now that Dragon King has been transferred to Shanghai, you don't have many friends in Beijing. Drink this glass of wine, name your price, and we can still be friends. More friends, more paths."

"Having more friends means having more options?" Xia Yu shook his head with a disdainful smile. "What kind of options are those? They're just dead ends."

…………

Chapter 462: Hard to eat soft food

Xia Yu ignored Wu Chongwen, who had suddenly appeared, and didn't pay him much attention.

With Wu Chongwen's king-level strength, he was nothing more than a clown in Xia Yu's eyes.

More than Wu Chongwen, Xia Yu needs to be concerned about who the real mastermind is.

…………

The temperature in the capital city plummeted in November, as if it had suddenly entered late autumn. Cicadas chirped in the cold, autumn rain fell incessantly, and red maple leaves fell, carrying a desolate atmosphere.

The conflict between Xia Yu and Wu Chongwen still managed to spread within a small circle.

Although everyone knows that Xia Yu has a promising future, it is only a promising future.

If there is no future, what is there to look forward to?

Wu Chongwen is a true veteran Elite-level trainer. If Wu Chongwen is really determined to oppose Xia Yu, many people believe that Xia Yu will have no choice but to suffer in silence.

After all, in this world that values ​​strength to an extreme, Xia Yu is still somewhat inexperienced.

Of course, a considerable number of people are also curious about how Xia Yu will resolve this matter.

…………

Zishan Villa, training room.

“Sylvia.” Xia Yu looked at the blonde Sylvia and said with a smile, “The newly built laboratory is almost finished. I will have someone reserve an office and a separate laboratory for you. Then you can start your father’s experiments.”

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Sylvia's fair face lit up with a bright smile, and she nodded with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Xia Yu."

This past month has been the happiest time Sylvia has had since she became a homeless person, especially as Xia Yu's promises to her are being fulfilled step by step, proving they are not empty words.

"Don't mention it." Xia Yu waved his hand, then asked, "By the way, how's the matter of the wiretapping and investigation of Chi Hanqing that I mentioned to you last time?"

“I was just about to tell you about this.” Sylvia looked at Xia Yu seriously and said, “Teacher Chi should have professional hackers around him, and they are very vigilant. After my Polygon broke through their network defenses, they quickly became aware of it and immediately modified the data. However, I also obtained some useful information, which you can take a look at.”

"I understand. Thank you for your hard work." Xia Yu nodded. Although Sylvia made it sound easy, Xia Yu believed that the process was not simple.

While Porygon is a data Pokémon, it's not omnipotent; obtaining this much data is already quite impressive. Xia Yu paused, then said to Chi Hanqing, "Let's put this matter aside for now. There's another matter I need your help with."

"What is it?" Sylvia looked at Xia Yu with a smile, her face full of anticipation and eagerness.

During this time, everything she ate, drank, used, and lived in was provided by Xia Yu, which made Sylvia eager to do something for Xia Yu and show her value.

“Last night…” Xia Yu briefly recounted what Wu Chongwen had done last night and today: “I need you to help me investigate Wu Chongwen’s employer.”

“Okay.” Sylvia nodded seriously.

Seeing the resolute expression on Sylvia's face, Xia Yu was worried that she might act too impulsively. If she were to expose the identity of the Porygonian and herself, it would be a great loss.

"Just do your best in this matter. Your safety is the most important thing. And you absolutely cannot expose your Multiverse." Xia Yu looked at Sylvia with concern and said, "I have my own ways of dealing with Wu Chongwen. Just do your best in your area."

Compared to a minor character like Wu Chongwen, Sylvia is far more important. Whether it's the research data and the multiverse beasts she possesses, or her own personal value, she far surpasses Wu Chongwen's.

Xia Yu didn't want Sylvia to expose her identity for the sake of a nobody like Wu Chongwen.
