Everyone else is a trainer, but you are a swordsman?

"Enter!"

Matsudaira's thoughts were interrupted twice in a row, and his tone was already a little unhappy. If the visitor didn't have anything important to say, he wouldn't mind venting a little.

The door opened, and the man in black came in again. He also heard Matsudaira's mood and said without any nonsense, "Sir Matsudaira, there are three people outside the door who claim to be investigators and want to see you."

"Investigator? What a coincidence?"

Matsudaira raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Did they say what they were here for?"

The man in black repeated, "They said they were patrolling nearby. They heard you were about to take on the position of deputy captain, so they stopped by to visit."

"Oh?"

Matsudaira narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded and instructed, "Tell them to wait for me in the living room. I'll be there soon. Make sure the servants entertain them well."

"Yes."

After the man in black left, Matsudaira changed into a slightly more formal outfit, walked over to Houndoom, squatted down and stroked the curved "bone horn" on its head.

"Old man, just in case, come down with me and take a look."

"Wang..."

Houndoom opened his eyes, and the sleepiness in his eyes disappeared, revealing a sharp gleam.

……

However, the person who came to see Matsudaira this time was not some investigator.

Outside the gate of the mansion, Feng, Yinmian and the Earl had already changed into the uniforms of investigators, put on helmets and bulletproof vests, and made some facial modifications. They were waiting for the guard to go inside to report the news.

The gate was a heavy iron door inlaid with exquisite patterns and exquisite workmanship, but the three people did not linger on it, each preparing for the next action.

In order to make the performance more realistic, Feng also specifically told Yinmian and the Earl some information about the investigators. At this moment, they were chatting like ordinary investigators, talking about some interesting things in other teams.

Of the three Pokémon, only Solebee was more likely to be the Investigator's favorite, so it followed outside. The others were all put into the ball, including Aegisblade...

When dealing with a target of the same level as Feng, it is naturally not advisable to rush in head-on, and you need to use your brain.

The opponent's information shows a gym leader-level Houndoom. If Feng uses shadow to sneak in, he will be easily discovered and fall into a difficult battle, adding variables and risks.

In order to prevent any accidents that might lead to him being besieged, Feng specially called for help from the Earl and Silverface. They only needed to block other elite Pokémon while he could concentrate on dealing with the target Matsudaira.

As for the news that Matsudaira was the vice-captain, it was naturally revealed by the insider Xiaoyu, the forward, and it was also accompanied by Matsudaira's Pokémon and some previous information.

……

"Excuse me for waiting, please come in."

After a while, the guard opened the door and a man dressed as a servant respectfully invited the three people in.

After entering the gate, Feng followed the servant across the courtyard and walked towards the villa, observing the surrounding buildings and Pokémon arrangements along the way.

Several large wolfhounds and Hayok were patrolling around the yard. A few dark crows were sitting on the tree, preening their feathers. It was unclear whether they were wild or deliberately placed there for sentry duty.

I didn't see Matsudaira's Pokémon. He might have left them in the backyard or villa to rest.

Generally speaking, when the trainer is at home, the Pokémon will not be placed in the ball, just like in the dormitory, the trainer will let Magna and Tanjiro out.

Therefore, such a large villa and courtyard will also have residences and training places for Matsudaira's Pokémon. They will not always stay with Matsudaira. At most, he will keep one or two with him for protection.

In Feng’s expectation.

It would be best to capture Matsudaira himself at that time and use him as a hostage to coerce the Pokémon.

The level and attributes of the Aegisblade Monster are not favorable for Houndoom, so try to avoid gym leader-level battles, and then successfully evacuate before alerting Junsha and the Investigator, and retire with honor.

However, if there is really no other way, you can only bite the bullet and fight.

……

Soon, several people arrived at the villa.

Entering the room, the first thing that catches your eye is the spacious foyer. The high ceiling and gorgeous chandelier make you look up.

The marble floor reflected the light. Several people walked on it towards the living room and saw a young man with a body as strong as an iron tower. He was well-dressed, but his temperament seemed a little sinister.

Beside him, a majestic Houndoom was standing with its head held high.

The shiny black fur sparkles with a mysterious luster, the sharp claws appear particularly dazzling under the light, and the pair of bright eyes reveal alertness and dominance.

"Haha, thank you three investigators for your hard work on patrolling all night. I'm Matsudaira." Matsudaira smiled and walked forward a few steps, greeting them warmly.

The Houndoom under his feet looked at the three people and the Sol Eevee warily, twitching his nose to sniff something from time to time, frowning slightly, as if he smelled something.

Feng looked at the target in front of him, checked his mind with the photo in the file, then walked over with a smile and said, "Captain Matsudaira, you are too polite. It is really your honor to come here."

While saying these polite words, Feng naturally extended his hand to shake hands with him: "You may not know this yet, but you will be the vice-captain of our team from now on. Please take good care of us in the future."

The Earl and Silver Face also said some polite words at the right time to make the atmosphere more harmonious, as if they were old friends who had not seen each other for many years.

Feng kept smiling and looking at Song Ping, but he secretly exerted strength in his hands.

In the current atmosphere, it is difficult for Matsudaira to refuse, and he has no reason to refuse, so it is easy for him to fall into the trap.

Well, as long as Matsudaira Ken shakes hands with him, today's mission can be said to be over.

With Feng's elite strength and physical fitness, he can control Matsudaira in an instant, and then the Shield Sword Monster prepared in the ball can quickly come out to support and resist the possible attack of Houndoom.

Finally, just like the previous times, I used the trainer to threaten the Pokémon and took control of the entire situation without bloodshed...

However, the situation did not go as Feng expected.

For some reason, Matsudaira suddenly took two steps back. His expression changed unexpectedly in an instant. He sneered and ordered, "Heroga, spray flames!"

"Wang!"

Following his command, Houndoom let out a deep and powerful roar, as if responding to its master's call.

The next moment, there was a loud "bang" and a blazing flame gushed out of Houndoom's mouth, like a snarling fire dragon, sweeping straight towards Feng and the others with scorching heat.

"..."

Seeing this, Feng didn't realize that he had been exposed, and his face instantly turned gloomy, but he was not very panicked.

The Shieldsword Monster automatically came out of the ball and instantly unfolded a high-tech King's Shield. A purple protective "wall" blocked the three people.
