Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

"Sister, eat this!"

"Sister, have another one of these!!"

Zhaoxia pressed down on Chi Miao, who had been sleeping in the car the whole way, and frantically stuffed all sorts of snacks into her arms.

Chi Miao's mouth was stuffed full, making him look like a hamster hoarding food...

"Xiaoxia...chew, chew, chew..."

"Sister can't eat anymore...chew, chew, chew..."

Chi Miao chewed his food frantically, his speech slurred.

"Miss Asaka!"

"Long time no see!!"

A clear voice rang out, and Chaoxia looked in the direction of the voice, her expression momentarily stunned.

"Linxia?"

"Wait, wasn't Lin Xia assassinated in Yanjing?"

"And...this person is much younger than Lin Xia..."

The man walking towards them looked somewhat like Lin Xia!

He's just very young, looks like he's at most 20 years old.

Lin Lou, with what he thought was a very handsome smile on his face, greeted Zhaoxia as he walked up to her.

Since Lin Xia's death, his second uncle, Lin Dabiao, has used forceful means to completely seize control of the Lin Group!

Of course, then Lin Lou would be the eldest son of the Lin Group!

"May I ask who you are...?"

"We've met before??"

Chaoxia asked in confusion. Of course, because he looked somewhat like Lin Xia, Chaoxia had already begun to dislike him.

"I am Lin Lou from the Lin Group. I met you when I was little. Don't you remember me, Miss Zhaoxia?" Lin Lou extended his hand to Zhaoxia, appearing very elegant.

Da da da~~

With the sound of high heels, Asagiri put her arm around Asaka's neck, took the cigarette from her mouth, and then a puff of smoke came out of her mouth, was inhaled through her nostrils, and finally exhaled downwards from her mouth.

"Kid, get out of here."

"We're terminating our cooperation with the Lin Group this year, so I guess we won't have to see each other again."

Asagiri remained cold, showing no intention of giving the Lin Group any face.

"I don't think so. My brother Lin Xia and I are different. I pay more attention to details."

"I think we will continue to cooperate, after all, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests."

"Isn't that right?"

Lin Lou remained confident, and after speaking, he looked at Chi Miao and his eyes lit up!

"Excuse me, may I ask who this young lady is?" Lin Lou asked politely.

"Hmm?" Chi Miao looked at Lin Lou with a naive smile on her face. "My brother told me that if anyone asks who I am or wants my contact information, just kill them."

Chaoxia was startled and immediately grabbed Chi Miao's shoulder.

Others might not know, but she knew perfectly well!

Don't let her innocent and harmless appearance fool you; she is actually an extremely dangerous person!

With a legendary pet beast, even an S-rank beast can't last a single round against her!

And since it was Chi Hong who instructed her, it's quite possible that someone might actually approach her while she's shopping.

She will act without hesitation or reservation, regardless of any external factors such as the surrounding environment!

Kill them outright!!

However, today is the day Chaoyang Group is hosting a banquet for its guests, so it is understandable that Lin's Group is also present.

However, if someone were to commit murder over such a trivial matter, Chaoyang Group would likely face serious difficulties in the industry.

"Hahahahaha!"

"Beautiful lady, you have a great sense of humor!"

Lin Lou laughed loudly as he spoke.

"I'm speechless. He thought it was a joke..." Chaoxia looked at Lin Lou with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

"Xiaoxia, don't hold your sister down."

"I need Dasta right now! Otherwise, I'm afraid my little brother will be unhappy!"

Chi Miao patted Zhaoxia's hand and softly stated her "demand".

"Lin Lou! Lin Lou!!"

At the door of the private room, Lin Dabiao's shouts came. Lin Lou responded immediately, then nodded slightly to Zhao Xia and the other two before turning and leaving.

"Sister, it's almost time to eat. It's disgusting to see blood and goo all over the place while we're eating!"

Zhaoxia put her arms around Chi Miao's neck and whispered words of comfort.

"Oh, you're right."

"Then I'll go kill him after I finish eating!"

"Don't worry, Xiaoxia, I'll try my best not to make a mess of blood!"

Chi Miao made a serious promise.

Lin Lou was unaware that his simple greeting had immediately drawn the attention of a super S-rank beast tamer...

At this moment, in the private room where Chi Hong was.

"Now that everyone is here..."

"I hereby announce something."

The king held up one finger. He looked like he hadn't woken up yet, his eyes were lifeless, and he seemed to have little energy.

Everyone fell silent and looked at the king.

Chi Hong remained calm; he also wanted to know what matter required the gathering of Jiang Province's top assassins to announce.

"The war has begun," the king uttered.

"war?"

Ink frowned and asked疑惑地问道, "Chief, which aspect of the war are you referring to?"

"Someone is invading our territory; we have already lost one-third of our territory in Jiang Province."

"We must respond, even though we are generally at a disadvantage."

"But I don't care about other places, but Jiang Province is out of the question."

"I will fight back and reclaim our lost territory!"

The king spoke softly. Although Chi Hong did not know how the territory was lost, and the king's expression did not show any unusualness, Chi Hong could still tell.

The king was very angry; he was currently in a state of rage.

"Who is the other party?"

"Law enforcers? Or... the military?"

If the person asking questions in the morning is a law enforcement officer or member of the military, then things become difficult.

That was completely a case of our own people fighting each other!

We are all Chinese!

"No, Jiang Sheng's law enforcement officers only target assassins. They don't interfere much in things that happen on our turf, and they might even provide assistance. That sounds contradictory."

"But an assassin is an assassin, and a guardian is a guardian."

At this point, the king laughed out loud, "I don't know which amazing guy came up with this setting back then. It's like he made a decision on a whim after taking too many drugs."

"Our territories are all on the border, which means..."

"Is it a foreign force?"

Chi lowered her head, her brows furrowed. If she had a choice, she would absolutely not want war to break out.

If war were to break out in the area she was protecting, the children's hard-won stable life would vanish like a bubble because of the war.

This is something she absolutely cannot tolerate.

"Another attack on foreigners?" Chi Hong rubbed his eyes and said, "Are foreign countries unable to control the recent beast tide? Why are they so frequently extending their claws towards China?"

"Give me a place, and I'll go cut their claws off completely!"

Chi Hong's identity is even more complicated; he is both an assassin and a law enforcer—a true double agent!

But if it's about beating up foreigners, then that's exactly what he wants!
