Pokémon: What should I do? My father-in-law always wants to tear me apart

On the first night that Lin Yi landed in the mountain city, the lights came on, and the streets of the mountain city were gradually shrouded in darkness and neon lights, filled with the scent of fireworks.

At the same time, thousands of miles away in the imperial capital, the alliance headquarters was shrouded in a serious and slightly tense atmosphere.

Inside the VIP reception room, the lights were pale and the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed as if water could be squeezed out of it.

Ruan Tianli was full of impatience, with his arms folded, his body swaying slightly with the rhythm of his legs shaking, his eyes like knives, piercing straight at the young man in front of him, muttering:

"Damn it, why not pick any other day? It has to be today! I was planning on going to the airport to see Yaoyao off."

Seeing this, Lu Wusong beside him quickly reached out his hand and gently poked Ruan Tianli with his elbow, signaling him to restrain himself with his eyes, and reminded him in a low voice:

"Don't mess around, the person in front of you is not an ordinary person."

Ruan Tianli rolled his eyes nonchalantly, stiffened his neck, and shouted without lowering his voice:

"What are you afraid of? Looking at his appearance, he probably can't even speak Chinese. How can he understand what we are talking about?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the young man raised his chin slightly, opened his thin lips, and spoke in standard Mandarin:

"King Ruan, King Lu, please tell me, when can I take the person away?"

The voice was steady, yet it contained an unmistakable sense of oppression.

Ruan Tianli looked like he was slapped in the face. The corner of his mouth twitched fiercely, and he snorted coldly. He turned his head sharply to the side and hugged his hands tighter. He looked like a man who was furious but couldn't show it.

Lu Wusong helplessly raised his hand and pushed the glasses on his nose, the look behind the lenses was full of bitter smile and helplessness.

The young man in front of him, named Ark, may look ordinary, but he is actually of great origin. He is one of the youngest Four Heavenly Kings in the history of Neon Country. In the circle of trainers in his country, a stomp of his feet can shake the world three times.

No one expected that he would suddenly fly to the capital alone without any warning. The airport staff saw that his behavior was suspicious and his identity was extremely special, so they did not dare to delay and quickly reported him to the alliance.

As soon as Yak got off the plane, he was "invited" to the alliance headquarters by two of China's Four Heavenly Kings, Ruan Tianli and Lu Wusong, who were personally led by them. The entire process was under martial law, as if they were facing a powerful enemy.

After all, the thrilling attack last month is still fresh in our memory.

Neon champion Sakurai Mizuki and one of the Four Heavenly Kings Fujiwara Suye sneaked into the imperial capital and launched an attack.

Fortunately, there were not many casualties, but this incident was like a thorn in everyone's heart.

So how could Jack's sudden visit not make people nervous and on high alert?

When asked about their purpose, the other party claimed that they had no ill intentions and just wanted to take the person away.

In the VIP reception room, the atmosphere was so solemn that it seemed to freeze time. The purpose of Yake's visit remained a mystery. Ruan Tianli and Lu Wusong looked at each other and took the lead in breaking the deadlock. Lu Wusong bowed slightly and spoke in a calm tone:

"King Yak, Champion Sakurai Mizuki, and King Fujiwara Suye, after careful consideration, we can release them, but..."

Before he could finish his words, they were suddenly cut off as if by an invisible sharp blade. Yake looked calm, raised his hand and interrupted him cleanly:

"No, I didn't come here to pick them up. They committed such a mistake, and they deserved to be arrested. They reaped the consequences of their actions."

"Ok?"

This brief question came out from Ruan Tianli and Lu Wusong's throats at the same time, full of surprise.

Ruan Tianli's eyebrows were instantly twisted into a knot, his thick eyebrows were almost tangled together, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and he took a step forward and asked:

"Then who are you going to pick up? Don't beat around the bush!"

Yake was not afraid of this pressure at all. He opened his thin lips and uttered five words clearly:

"Matsushima Nanako."

"Who?"

Ruan Tianli was full of doubts. He raised his hand and scratched his chin, his face full of confusion. He turned to look at Lu Wusong, his eyes full of questions.

Lu Wusong lowered his eyes and quickly searched his memory - there was indeed such a person.

The girl came with Sakurai Mizuki. She was a student and a part-time translator. She was a rookie trainer.

At the time of the incident, the situation was extremely chaotic. Sakurai Mitsuki obviously treated the girl as an abandoned child. After the incident, she directly threw Matsushima Nanako into the VIP room and left her to fend for herself.

Lu Wusong secretly looked at the girl. She looked timid and helpless. He concluded that she was also an innocent victim in this turmoil.

But even so, the alliance has strict rules and complicated procedures, and it involves a cross-border incident. How can they let Matsushima Nanako go easily?

At this moment, Yak, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of a foreign country, actually ran to the imperial capital alone. This place had just experienced an attack and was on high alert, just to take away such an unknown girl. It was really strange.

Lu Wusong considered it again and again, then looked up at Yake with a probing look in his eyes:

"Can you tell me who she is to you? You have to give us an explanation for all the trouble you have gone through."

Yake's originally straight back slumped slightly, he sighed deeply, a complex emotion flashed across his face, and he said slowly:

"She is my sister. Oh no, to be precise, she is my stepsister."

"Stepsister?"

Ruan Tianli's eyes widened, his face full of suspicion, and his voice unconsciously rose, which was particularly harsh in the quiet VIP room.

"Are you kidding me?"

Yake frowned slightly, somewhat displeased by the question, but still patiently reiterated calmly and firmly:

"Yes, my father and her mother just got married a month ago. Although we have only been together for a short time, we have become a family, and I can't just watch her get stuck in a foreign country."

As soon as Yake said this, the room fell into a brief silence.

Ruan Tianli and Lu Wusong looked at each other and saw hesitation in each other's eyes.

Lu Wusong was the first to break the silence. He adjusted his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses as sharp as an eagle, trying to catch any trace of lying on Yake's face:

"King Yak, this cross-border recognition of relatives is no small matter. It is difficult for us to be convinced with just a few words from you. China has its own rules. If we want to release any person involved in the case, we must have a solid chain of evidence and approval process."

Yake nodded slightly, as if he had expected such a challenge. He took out a file bag from his pocket and handed it forward.

"I have prepared all the necessary evidence, including a copy of the marriage certificate, family photos, and even some documents on the property my father and her mother purchased together. The four names are clearly written on them, which is enough to prove the relationship. I know that your country is strict in its actions, so I have been prepared and will never deceive anyone."

Ruan Tianli snatched the file bag and dumped out the information inside. He glanced through it briefly and his expression eased a little, but his face was still tense:

"Even if she is my stepsister, she is involved with Sakurai Mizuki. Who can guarantee that she is innocent of the things she did after entering the country? She might have evil intentions."

Yake's eyes dimmed, he clenched his fists, and explained while suppressing his anger:

"Nanako was innocent and cowardly. She was coerced and bribed by Sakurai Mitsuki to enter the country. She was kept in the dark throughout the whole process and did not participate in any substantial sabotage. After the incident, she was isolated and terrified. Your country detained and interrogated her for many days. I believe you must have some insight. If she is guilty, how could there be no charges against her until now?"

Lu Wusong was silent for a moment and coughed lightly:

"King Yak, please be patient. Even if the situation is as you said, we still have to proceed step by step. When the higher-ups know about this, they will definitely hold a meeting to discuss it. After all, they have just been attacked and people are panicking. Whether letting her go will cause a public opinion storm or a safety hazard needs to be carefully considered. Please wait patiently for news at the headquarters guesthouse in the next few days."

Yake frowned, full of anxiety but also knowing that forcing was useless, he took a deep breath:

"I hope your alliance can handle this as soon as possible. Nanako is trapped innocently, and every day she is trapped is extremely painful. Now that I am here, I will definitely wait for the result. I only hope that you will make a fair judgment and not let innocent people be wronged."

After saying this, he straightened his back, looked determined, and stood quietly there, as if he was ready for a long confrontation. The solemn atmosphere filled the VIP room again.
