Chapter 55 Attempted Robbery Turns into Getting Scammed
With Xiao Ke's translation, Xiao Gang and Yang Bin finally understood why Xuan Mingtian was so angry. Anyone else would have acted the same way.
The two also found two hardwood roots and quickly followed Xuan Mingtian, after all, they were meant to share both good times and bad.
Xuan Mingtian, carrying a steel pipe, walked up to the burly man and said, "Little cutie, come and help me out."
"Is it to probe their memories?" The little cutie's voice echoed in his mind.
After Xuan Mingtian nodded, the little cutie activated her ability and examined the memories of all 12 people.
"Xiao Tian, this big man and those five are all motorcycle gang members. The others are driven by greed." As the little cutie finished speaking, she also used her telekinesis to categorize the 12 people.
"Xiao Gang and Binzi, those six guys over there are yours. Just beat them up and throw them out."
As soon as Xuan Mingtian finished speaking, he released his elf companions and put them in control of the six motorcyclists. Now it was time for them to pay the price.
Ten minutes later, Xiao Gang and Yang Bin arrived in front of Xuan Mingtian, panting. They had finished their work and ensured that the six men had escaped with bruises and swelling on their faces.
Xuan Mingtian, holding a steel pipe, struck the burly man's shin hard. A cracking sound indicated that the shinbone was broken. Due to the pain, the man instantly regained consciousness and struggled on the ground, but unfortunately, he was firmly controlled by Xiao Ta.
Xuan Mingtian said to the burly man who had just woken up in pain, "You're amazing. You actually wanted to sell me to those perverts. You really don't know what's good for you."
"Please, please let me go! I'll give you money, I'll give you all the elves!" the burly man pleaded, enduring the pain.
But Xuan Mingtian ignored him and walked straight toward the strongman boss.
"Boss Hong, can you help me deal with these people? Just tell me how much you want in return," Xuan Mingtian said in a gentle tone, but the subtle pressure and undeniable attitude were clearly revealed.
Mr. Hong didn't dare hesitate for a moment: "No payment is required. Don't worry, I will handle it perfectly for you."
Xuan Mingtian ignored Boss Hong and walked up to Xiao Gang and Binzi, saying, "Let's go, Xiao Gang and Binzi, let's go find Aunt Huazi and the others."
After tidying up, the three of them walked out of the deserted alley again and headed towards the department store.
Before leaving, Xuan Mingtian gave Boss Hong a clan emblem and told him that if he encountered something that couldn't be resolved, he could just show the emblem to the other party.
As Boss Hong watched the three figures gradually disappear into the distance, he thought to himself with a puzzlement, "I must ask Lady Kikuko about this when I get back."
"Xiao Tian, is what we're doing really okay?" Xiao Gang asked, his brows furrowed slightly.
“Xiao Gangbin, I just had Xiao Keai check their memories. All six of them are a group of motorcycle gang members. You should understand what motorcycle gang members mean, right? There are some things we don’t need to do ourselves. Although we’re not afraid, it’s not good to get our hands dirty. Besides, Boss Hong runs such a big arcade, he definitely has the means to do things, so you can rest assured.” Xuan Mingtian said with a serious tone.
Xiao Gang remained silent after hearing this, because he understood the composition of the motorcycle gang. They were a group of thugs who also collected protection money. Because they committed crimes on motorcycles, they were highly mobile, making it very difficult for the police to catch them. In short, they were mobile criminals.
As they walked, they passed many unique shops. In the distance, the three spotted five beautiful women. As they approached, they saw them discussing various perfumes.
Moreover, a fragrant aroma wafts in from all around. Unlike the pungent and strong fragrances of my previous life, the aroma here, when you take a gentle breath, makes you feel as if you are floating in a sea of flowers, and the breath of nature is also well taken care of.
"Sister En, what are you doing? Aren't you shopping at the department store?" Xuan Mingtian asked with a puzzled look.
"Xiao Tian, you're here! There wasn't much to see at the department store, so we just browsed around and found this perfume shop. I'll tell you, it's run by the Grass-type Gym Leader," Officer Jenny said excitedly.
Xuan Mingtian was filled with doubt. The current Grass-type Gym Leader was definitely not Rika, so who could it be?
During their conversation with Xuan Mingtian, the trio never stopped walking. Soon after, they saw an elderly woman who looked to be about 60 years old. She was very articulate and kept praising how good and rare the perfumes in the shop were.
Xuan Mingtian learned from her flowery words that she not only owned a perfume shop, but also a botanical garden to maintain perfume sales, and that it was the result of the efforts of several generations of her family.
At the same time, a little girl in a floral dress came running in from outside.
"Grandma, I just saw a little kid playing the slot machine at the arcade. He was so good! He won the jackpot five times in a row! Five times!" Lijia excitedly told her grandma about what happened at the arcade.
The trio exchanged bewildered glances, their expressions not escaping Jun Sha'en's keen eyes.
Then Junsha'en came to the little girl and said, "Little Lijia, is this the child?"
As soon as Jun Shaen finished speaking, Li Jia looked in the direction she was pointing and screamed, "Ah, it really is him, sister! This is the little boy who won the grand prize five times!"
An invisible pressure burst forth from Jun Sha'en, who then crossed her arms in front of her chest, stepped forward with one foot, and pressed down on Xuan Mingtian with an aura of complete control.
"Tell me, what exactly happened, and what about the Pokémon egg in your hand?" The calm tone made Xuan Mingtian's scalp tingle.
Left with no other choice, Xuan Mingtian could only bite the bullet and say, "Sister, I'm getting really nervous if you say that. Xiao Gang and Binzi and I originally wanted to go to the arcade to play some games, but I saw some of my favorite Pokémon on the exchange list, so I played a few rounds."
"Hmph, are you panicking? I think you're too bold. Slot machines are never for kids. Did you threaten the owner?" Jun Sha'en directly saw through Xuan Mingtian's thoughts.
Xuan Mingtian answered truthfully, "Sister, I didn't threaten anyone. I just took out the black card and talked to Boss Hong. That's how he let us play."
Jun Shaen looked at him speechlessly, because she also understood the power of the Alliance Black Card, which was something that only medium-sized forces or above could possibly possess.
However, when Xuan Mingtian recalled the situation at the time, Jun Sha'en was right. The words he spoke when he took out the black card and talked to Boss Hong could be considered an invisible threat.
At this moment, Xiao Gang chimed in, "Sister En, what Xiao Tian said is true. We've also exchanged quite a few Pokémon eggs with game coins, and I reckon they've already been delivered home."
After Xiao Gang finished speaking, he didn't forget to take out Rotom's phone, just to show that the three of them had really exchanged quite a few Pokémon.
At the same time, Gang's words dispelled Jun Sha'en's further questions, because she knew very well that Gang was an undercover agent planted by Xuan Mingtian's mother. At this point, Jun Sha'en's intimidation dissipated, and she continued their perfume shopping.
At this moment, the little girl Lijia came up to Xuan Mingtian and said, "Hello little friend, my name is Lijia, what's your name?"
"Oh, Xiao Lijia, hello, my name is Xuan Mingtian." When Xuan Mingtian saw the little girl coming over, he quickly put some distance between them to prevent Xiao Lan from having any wild thoughts.
Grandma Lijia, who was watching this scene from a distance, stared wide-eyed, looking as if she had been greatly frightened.
Jun Shaen also witnessed this scene, because she knew that her husband's family could be called the strongest Grass-type family. Not only did they have four Champion-level Grass-type Pokémon to protect the family, but his parents and grandparents each had a Grass-type Pokémon. After all, it was a Grass-type family, so what would it be like without Grass-type Pokémon?
Grandma Lijia said, "Little Lijia, could you please greet the guest for me? I have something to say to this little boy."
"Okay, Grandma." The little girl, without suspecting anything, immediately ran off to greet the guest.
Seeing this, Xiaolan and Junsha understood that this was an exchange between the Grass-type families, and that Grandma Lijia should know about the Xiaotian family's situation.
Grandma Lijia approached Xuan Mingtian and said gently, "Hello, I am Lijia's grandma. My surname is Li. May I call you Xiaotian?"
"Yes, Grandma Li, is there anything I can help you with?" Xuan Mingtian felt a sense of helplessness, but he had to be polite to the elder.
But Xuan Mingtian couldn't help but think to himself, "This old guy is trying to take advantage of me. Grandma Li, I'm Grandma Wu, you old fox."
"It's like this, Xiaotian. I'd like to ask you for guidance on how to better train my Grass-type Pokémon. Also, I'd like to obtain a Miracle Seed because I want to plant it in my family's botanical garden. I'm willing to agree to any reward you desire." Grandma Li truthfully explained the purpose of her conversation.
After a moment of contemplation, Xuan Mingtian turned to Jun Sha'en and said, "Sister En, I'll be having dinner here tonight. Do you want to go back home or come with me?"
Upon hearing this, Jun Sha'en immediately consulted with the other four women. After some discussion, the five women decided to go along. Their main purpose was to keep an eye on Xuan Mingtian and prevent him from having affairs.
After everyone decided where to have dinner, Xuan Mingtian said to Grandma Lijia, "Grandma Li, I'll leave dinner to you. Let's talk about these things after dinner."
"Okay, Xiaotian, thank you very much for coming."
Grandma Lijia was in a particularly good mood when she saw that her goal had been achieved. After all, she needed his help, so taking him home for dinner was no problem at all. It would be more relaxing to talk about these things at home.
