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

On the first night that Lin Yi arrived at Dragon Island, a unique party was taking place in an inconspicuous little restaurant in a corner of the bustling and noisy imperial capital.

Lin Guochang sat at the table, his eyes scanning the three people present in turn: the one on the left with a smile on her face, sipping tea leisurely was Grandma Jiang Zi; on the right was Liu Yu, who was eating potato chips and watching short videos all the time; and the one sitting next to him who looked stupid was Ruan Tianli.

Faced with the scene before him, Lin Guochang couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Let's not talk about anything else for now. Lin Yi kidnapped your girl. If you want revenge, you should go after him! I will never interfere. But God, what do you mean by this? Are you planning to be real offline and teach me a lesson?"

Originally, Lin Guochang had been busy dealing with various challengers in the gym in Qinghai City, but after receiving an emergency call from Ruan Tianli, he hurried to the imperial capital. However, seeing this situation, he felt that things were not that simple.

Actually, it was not Lin Guochang's fault for being suspicious. If it were anyone else, facing three of the Four Heavenly Kings of China sitting next to him without saying a word, he would probably feel a little flustered. After all, if these people were replaced by other candidates, perhaps he could be more calm. But in this situation, it is really hard not to have doubts.

What? Are you asking why Lu Wusong is not here?

Oh, those who work overtime have no human rights.

(A superpower who was trying to commit suicide by holding his breath cursed: "Fuck!")

"..."

As soon as he mentioned his daughter, the smile on Ruan Tianli's face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by anger, as if all the good emotions in his heart were replaced by a smelly dog ​​shit.

"That brat, I will make him pay the price sooner or later! But there is no rush. I asked you to come here today because I have something else to discuss."

"Other things?" Lin Guochang was stunned and asked in confusion.

"Look, the real boss is here." Ruan Tianli nodded towards the door of the room. Lin Guochang followed his gaze and couldn't help showing a hint of surprise after seeing who it was.

"Champion?" Lin Guochang shouted.

"Just call me Xia Nantian." A man in casual clothes walked in. He took off his sunglasses and mask, and kept mumbling something, as if explaining to everyone the reason for his lateness, but there was no arrogance of a champion at all.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm late. I was recognized by several fans along the way, and they asked for my autograph and took photos with me. It was hard to get rid of them." Xia Nantian said apologetically.

"It's okay, come, sit down and have a cup of tea first." Grandma Jiangzi put down the tea set in her hand with a smile. Her amiable appearance made it hard for people to imagine that this kind-looking old woman in front of them was the famous ghost king.

"Your name is Mr. Lin Guochang, right?"

"I'm Lin Guochang, no need to add Mr., please don't embarrass me." Lin Guochang responded quickly. He muttered to himself: This old woman in front of him looks several years older than his mother, but she exudes an awe-inspiring aura.

Facing such a respected senior, Lin Guochang could not help but straighten his back and sit up straight.

"I heard something from King Ruan. I know you don't like to procrastinate, so I'll get straight to the point." Xia Nantian sat down slowly, then coughed lightly, cleared his throat and said, "I want you to take over from Grandma Jiang Zi and become one of the new Four Heavenly Kings after she retires next year."

Hearing this, Lin Guochang did not show much surprise on his face, but his heart was stirred. He was silent for a moment and then asked:

"...Can you tell me why you chose me? After all, there are quite a few candidates for the title of King."

Xia Nantian looked at Lin Guochang, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He thought: As the rumors say, this person is calm and reserved, and his emotions are not revealed on his face. (Lin Yi: You are talking nonsense!) No wonder Ruan Tianli has been recommending him to me.

So he decided not to beat around the bush and just speak his mind:

"There is no special reason, it's just because you are strong enough. Among the many candidates, you are undoubtedly the best. With your ability and talent, if you can take the position of the Four Heavenly Kings, you will definitely bring greater glory and achievement to China.

Everyone present here is not an outsider, so I will speak frankly. The strength of the other candidates for the Heavenly King is not worthy of sitting on the throne of the Four Heavenly Kings.

We all know clearly that except for a few who have some real skills, most of the so-called candidate kings are just second-rate people. Some of them can't even reach the level of professional trainers. They only got the title of candidate king, which sounds very impressive, by relying on their powerful family background or network of connections. To put it bluntly, the alliance wants to use this seemingly glamorous title to win over the forces behind them.

The reason why China has been able to maintain its current leading position is, on the one hand, because our country has a long history and prosperous fortune; but another more important reason is that the four kings of the contemporary era have enough strength to solve various difficult problems.

Finally, I would like to emphasize that at this critical moment, our country's top combat power must not be weakened in the slightest!"

Lin Guochang frowned when he heard this: "I understand what you said before, but why is it not possible at this time?"

After saying a lot of things in one breath, Xia Nantian took a sip of tea and shook his head helplessly, saying that he couldn't explain in detail. Then he winked at Liu Yu and asked him to take out a contract.

"If you are willing to serve as the next Four Heavenly Kings, then these things will become your exclusive benefits after you are promoted to the Four Heavenly Kings."

Liu Yu, who was sitting next to him, also had a smile on her face, flirting with him, and proposed a very tempting condition:

"In fact, being one of the Four Heavenly Kings is simply a blessing. Not only are the benefits and salaries generous, but you only need to go abroad occasionally to handle some trivial matters and participate in a few international leagues. As for other work, you can just leave it to Lu Wusong, the sucker, and then you can be lazy with peace of mind."

(Lu Wusong: “You TM!!”)

Lu Wusong is not here, but he seems to have always been here.

"Although I am very honored to receive your personal invitation, Champion, but..." Lin Guochang was originally prepared to politely refuse, but his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the specific terms on the contract paper.

Hashibean sack!! How many zeros are written on it!?

"But I really do hope to contribute my little bit to our great country." Lin Guochang picked up the pen without changing his expression and quickly and decisively signed his name on the contract.

His sudden action stunned everyone present. Only Ruan Tianli smiled.

"Um...well, welcome?" Xia Nantian asked tentatively.

"Can you tell me the reason now?" Lin Guochang asked. He was becoming more and more curious about what Xia Nantian had been hiding.

Seeing that Lin Guochang was so determined to know the truth, Xia Nantian pondered for a while, and his expression became very serious: "Because, it will wake up in a while."

"It? Who?" Lin Guochang frowned even more tightly, completely confused.

Xia Nantian uttered these words slowly, as if they weighed a thousand pounds.

"Wish Pokémon, mythical beast, Jirachi."
