Conan: Above all force, there is truth!

Longye could even see the "steam" coming out of her head.

The next second, amidst cheers and applause from the surrounding audience, Xiaolan let out a startled cry like an ostrich and buried her head in Longye's arms.

This scene was clearly witnessed by Minaba, who was in the audience.

Seeing the two of them, while she was happy for them, she couldn't help but feel a little sad: "For tennis players, love is 0..."

"Sister! It's all over now!!!"

Just then, Apollo excitedly ran to the stands not far from her and shouted loudly to his sister in the stadium.

Upon hearing her younger brother's voice, Minaba smiled and nodded in the direction he was, indicating that she knew.

"come on!!!"

Hearing her younger brother's shouts, Minaba gently shook her head, as if shaking off the excess emotions.

Immediately afterwards, her eyes filled with fighting spirit.

Let's not think about all that nonsense for now, let's just win the championship!

Chapter 255 Ineffective Antidote

"Buzz~"

Feeling the vibration in his pocket, Longye reached into his pocket and took out his phone.

As soon as he answered the phone, an anxious voice came from the other end: "Takeda, how's the situation? Based on my judgment, the criminal will definitely come to the venue! I didn't get a ticket, but don't worry, I'll definitely find a way to sneak in..."

"No need, Kudo."

"What's not needed?"

"That criminal named Hades was taken away by the local police not long ago, so you don't need to worry about him. Have a good time in London!"

"..."

After saying that, Longye hung up the phone.

Outside the venue at this moment.

Silence, blankness.

Wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a scarf, Shinichi Kudo stared silently at the black screen of his phone, standing there with a face full of exasperation.

He knew Longye's character well; since he had already said that, the criminal must have been caught.

He might even have caught the criminal himself!

hateful……

In order to catch the criminal, he even risked taking the antidote again, returning to his original body.

If it weren't for the fact that his original body made things easier, he would never have taken the antidote again before returning home.

Although this was abroad, he made sure to put on makeup before leaving home to avoid revealing his identity.

After standing there for a long time, he let out a long sigh.

Despite all his calculations, he had underestimated Takeda. But now, there was no point in saying anything.

Since I've already taken the antidote, I might as well take a plane back before the effects wear off...

……

Two hours later

The Wimbledon tennis tournament has come to an end.

Minaba's superb skills quickly defeated her opponent.

With this, she has won the Wimbledon Championship for five consecutive years, truly deserving the title of "Queen of Grass".

After the brief interview, Minaba and the others approached Ryuno and Ran and extended their right hands.

"I was able to win this championship thanks to your help! Thank you for saving my mother!!"

Seeing this, Longye and Xiaolan each shook hands with him.

"You won the championship entirely because of your own skill. You're too kind!"

At this moment, a man with short blond hair and a small mustache bowed to Long Ye and his companion, and solemnly said:

"No! I already know what happened from Apollo. If it weren't for you, we might be dead!"

"Oh, right, I forgot to introduce myself! My name is Ares Ashule, and I'm currently the coach of Minaba."

"And this is Gino Glass, the mother of Minaba and Apollo."

"..."

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Minaba got down to business: "The competition is over, and I haven't been busy lately. I'd like to invite you all to my house for dinner. Do you have time?"

“You two have been our family’s saviors, and we all want to treat you to a meal,” Minaba’s mother, Gino, added.

Upon hearing this, Longye and Xiaolan exchanged a glance and nodded: "Then we'll have to bother you."

Seeing that the two agreed, Minaba's family all smiled with joy.

after an hour

Longye and his companion got out of the car and walked into the courtyard of Minaba Glass's house.

Although it was expected, the tennis courts on either side of the main gate were indeed quite eye-catching.

Noticing Longye and Xiaolan's gazes, Minaba smiled and said, "These two tennis courts were built by my father. He, like Ares, is a tennis coach. In fact, my father is Ares's coach~"

"Huh? Your father is Ares's coach? But isn't Ares your coach?" Xiaolan asked in surprise.

After parking his car, Ares overheard their conversation and chuckled, "Actually, I used to be a tennis player too. Minaba's father was my coach. But I got injured and had to step back, eventually becoming Minaba's coach."

"Speaking of which, Minaba's father has always hoped that she would win the Wimbledon tennis championship since she was a child. And now, she is already the famous 'Queen of Grass'!"

"Ares, stop talking. Without you as my coach, how could I have achieved what I have today?" Minaba shook her head with a smile.

Although she was smiling, Xiaolan could see a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

Shortly after, everyone finished lunch at the restaurant.

To Longye's surprise, the Minaba family did not serve any traditional "English dishes"; the dishes on the table were mostly Italian and French.

It was clear that his and Xiaolan's appetites were taken into consideration.

A short while later, Ares looked out the window, seemed to remember something, and turned to look at Longye and Xiaolan: "Are you two interested in tennis?"

Upon hearing this, both Longye and Xiaolan nodded.

Although they rarely play ball sports, Longye and Xiaolan have played tennis quite a few times over the years.

Both of them had a good impression of tennis.

Seeing the two nod, Ares also nodded and smiled, "Then shall we go downstairs and exercise a bit in a while?"

Longye and Xiaolan exchanged a surprised glance.

They hadn't expected Ares to make such a proposal.

At this moment, Minaba, who was standing nearby, laughed and said, "Don't let his appearance fool you—he's quite capable as a coach. If you want to play tennis, we can go downstairs together."

"Hey! That's going a bit too far. I don't think I'm ugly..."

"..."

Seeing the two start bickering, Ryūno and Rin exchanged a smile.

Soon after, the group arrived at the tennis court downstairs.

Although somewhat surprised, Ryūno and Rin were still excited.

After all, not everyone has the opportunity to play against a tennis champion and his coach, let alone receive guidance from him.

"Takeda and I will be on court number 1, and Minaba, you and Ran will be on court number 2."

"Okay~"

After the courts were set up, Ares and Minaba began to explain basic tennis skills to Longye and Xiaolan one-on-one.

He also gave the two pointers on their stance and grip.

Venue No. 2.

"Xiao Lan, you learn so fast! Your grip and stance are already very standard!"

"Miss Minaba, thank you!"

"It's okay, don't be nervous. Let's play a couple of simple games first, so I can see your overall skill level."

"Okay! Please give me your guidance!"

After the two were ready, Xiaolan threw the tennis ball with her left hand, then extended her right arm slightly and served the ball smoothly.

"boom!"

Minaba noticed Xiaolan's actions and couldn't help but nod.

Although Xiaolan didn't seem to have much experience with tennis, her serve was flawless, just like a veteran's.

Minaba ran towards the landing point while thinking about it.

"boom!"

Minaba subconsciously frowned after her tennis racket touched the tennis ball.

"This force?!"

Chapter 256 Boys and girls, do you want to play tennis?

— "Bang"

Before Minaba could think further, Xiaolan had already returned the ball.

Seeing this, Minaba ran again and caught the ball with her racket.

"boom"

After feeling the force coming from the racket again, Minaba frowned even more deeply.

My feeling was right! The force coming from the ball was indeed tremendous!
