Pokémon, you're not allowed to expel me from human form!

'what--'

"Randall, I'll kill you a hundred times over!"

Logically speaking, Zong Qinke was very lucky. He happened to capture Blue Path, whose Pokémon had all lost their ability to fight and who was also injured. The difference in their combat power was too great, so there was no possibility of failure.

Indeed, after completing an attack, Landau was hit by more than a dozen bullets and lay on the ground, bleeding profusely. He was obviously dead.

All of this aligns with Zong Qinke's favorite concept of 'destiny'—fate determined how all of this happened!

but...

Although Landau has the arrogance of a martial artist, he is not stupid.

Just as Lan Tianwu felt that Lan Dao had become more flexible when they were at the Tianwu Dojo, he was only determined to fight to the death when facing Zong Qinke's encirclement, rather than throwing his life away.

What we're after is a sliver of hope—a direct confrontation!

Therefore, there is a reason behind his final and only attack.

She used a throwing knife to attract Zong Qinke's attention, and then followed up with a stab, aiming at Zong Qinke's heart. If it hit, no matter how strong Zong Qinke was, he would surely die.

So when the slash was thrust out, Zong Qinke's eyes widened, and he caught the blade with both hands. Immediately afterward, a flash of red light appeared. Zong Qinke's spirit spontaneously emerged and stood beside him.

That was a vine monster.

This elf, who seemed to have nothing to do with martial arts, immediately extended his blue vines upon emerging, binding together a large number of vines to form a giant fist, which struck Blued in the abdomen.

It wanted to drive Landau away.

In reality, Lando was not Roko and was not qualified to fight against the elves. The moment he was hit, he arched his back like a shrimp and flew backward.

It's clear that Landau has completely lost.

but...

In the instant he was launched, Randall, who had been bending over, grabbed something!

Consider his current position: right in front of Zong Qinke, bent over. So, naturally, his hand reached towards Zong Qinke's... crotch during this process!

It's pretty obvious what he'll grab.

Zong Qinke, however, lowered his guard because he had his hand on the knife and his spirit was nearby.

so......

Under the power of the vine monster, and in the hands of Landau, which were forged like pliers, one of Zong Qinke's organs was forcibly torn off in a very short time!

That's the source of the screams that echoed through the alley.

Finally, there was the scene where Zong Qinke roared and ordered his men to fire, and Lan Dao, who was sent flying, was instantly hit by a bullet and fell heavily to the ground.

He might be dead, but Zong Qinke doesn't have the time or inclination to deal with that now.

"Quick, get me to the hospital!"

Zong Qinke's subordinates were stunned by what they saw. It was only after Zong Qinke, enduring the pain and with bloodshot eyes, roared that they came to their senses.

Two guards lifted Zong Qinke up, which made him see another guard walk over to Lan Dao and reach out to pick up the 'parts' that had been torn off him. This scene made his mind even more confused.

'No, don't pinch it!'

He wanted to say that, but his last bit of reason told him that picking it up and reconnecting it was the best treatment option.

This led him to simply close his eyes, pretend to have fainted from the pain, and leave everything to his subordinates.

That's why he even forgot to have someone dispose of Randall's body.

This is also understandable.

After all, a man... ah, if he can't be cured, then he might not be a man anymore.

But given the injury, how could one possibly remain calm and consider all aspects of the situation?

And that's the kind of 'narrative' Landau wanted.

About ten minutes after Zong Qinke and the others left, Lan Dao, who had been lying on the ground and should have been cooling off for a while, suddenly opened his eyes!

If someone had X-ray vision at that moment, they would see that before Randall was hit by the bullet, he had completely shifted his bones and internal organs!

He was lucky; in that moment of panic, no bullet hit his head.

so...

"Cough cough... Heh, hehe, hahaha..."

"Since you failed to kill me, things are simple."

"Wait until I've recovered from my injuries, and until you've recovered from yours—then we'll settle the score!"

Lando's eyes were incredibly sharp. He slowly got up, hesitated for a moment, and then followed the route he had taken to escape, heading towards the Tenbu Dojo.

It wasn't that after learning about Zong Qinke's situation, he wanted to remind that fool who couldn't judge people.

Simply put, it's closer to the Tianwu Dojo from here than to the Z Company branch... yeah, that's it!

Of course, if that guy asked how he got his injury, he couldn't possibly hide it from Zong Qinke.

After all, they are already enemies, so he has no reason to hide anything. He must explain in detail, right?

...

"Yes, that's right!"

"The advanced medical technology is a blessing!"

Zong Qinke, who had never paid attention to medical development before, is now as devout as a believer, and his words are filled with a sense of conviction and mission.

There was no way around it; his brother was just too important to him. Now that the doctor had saved his life, it was as if he had been given a second chance!

"It's nothing, sir. Your injury has just healed, so please don't use your sensitive parts to... tease the elves anymore."

The doctor's words made Zong Qinke's expression freeze, but he didn't explain a word, only nodding repeatedly.

Only after he had heard all the doctor's orders and left the hospital did he put on a stern face and look at the subordinate who had registered him an hour earlier.

"What reason did you give for registering me?"

When Zong Qinke asked about it, the subordinate who had registered him stepped forward as if to take credit, thumping his chest loudly.

"Don't worry, sir. I know the doctor will definitely ask about the cause of such an injury, so I prepared my explanation on the way here and did not reveal our operation."

Um...

Zong Qinke nodded.

The parts of his previous medical advice that made him feel uncomfortable are now being addressed.

Although he felt he had made a huge blunder, it was acceptable to pull off a big operation and create an alibi to cover up his connection to Randall's death... So what if he lost face? Great men don't concern themselves with trifles!

He still thinks that way.

My mind was still preoccupied with how I had accidentally teased the Pokémon while taking a bath, which had upset it.

Or perhaps you accidentally teased the elf while using the toilet.

But what his subordinate said next immediately shattered his psychological defenses, leaving him dumbfounded and even... at a loss!

“Sir, I understand that the reason must be reasonable and credible. And since we’ve come to the hospital, it would be best if we could completely sever our ties with Landau. I’m sure you can understand if it’s a little embarrassing for us.”

"So I told the doctor that you saw your spirit at night, and when you were overcome with lust and about to do something, the spirit fought back and bit you off!"

"You see, it's reasonable, it attracts attention, and no one would associate it with Landau!"

“Absolutely perfect!”

......

53. I just want you dead!

Perfect my ass!

Zong Qinke thought it was embarrassing, but who would have thought it would be a disgrace!

He can accept that if he accidentally gets injured, people will know about it, and it might even become a topic of conversation or a meme.

But he couldn't accept that others would carefully put their Pokémon back into their Poké Balls after seeing him, and then look at him warily!

These two kinds of shame have completely different meanings!

He was already mentally screaming ten times in a second, but the 'genius' who spoke up actually had a backup plan.

"And don't worry, after I figured it out, I shouted out this perfect reason when I went to register. At that time, not only the hospital registration area, but probably even the street could hear it."

"Such a hot topic doesn't even need us to spread it; it spreads on its own, which saves a lot of resources!"

hiss--

Perhaps because he had just recovered from his injury, Zong Qinke was now experiencing blurred vision.

But at this moment, he still managed to force out his most common, honest smile.

"Hmm, it's about saving money... When you came here for the mission, which foot did you put in the door first?"

"Um, I can't remember."

Upon hearing this, Zong Qinke's brows immediately furrowed.

"Can't remember? With a memory like that, you're unworthy of your current position. It's shameful. Starting tomorrow, you'll be working on a merchant ship at the dock. Don't stay in Tiangang!"

After saying that, Zong Qinke quickened his pace and left.

The moment Zong Qinke turned his head away from his 'genius' subordinate, his expression became completely calm.

He didn't send this subordinate away because of personal grudges... well, not entirely.

It accounts for at least less than 90%!

Since this matter has already been publicized, it is essential to make use of it.

Although Zong Qinke had never played a 'clown' role before, for some reason, he felt that this was how it should be performed for the first time!

However, he had no doubts about it.

After all, he is the chosen one, so it's normal for him to have some talent in various aspects!

That unethical Lan Dao, who tried to deceive and ambush him, probably never expected that his final, disgusting move would be used against him!

Thinking about this, Zong Qinke felt that this matter was not so unacceptable.

Just as he was adjusting his mindset and starting to convince himself, news from headquarters told him that what truly disgusted him about Lando was not this attack targeting specific body parts.

But...

"Randall's body escaped?"

Ah!

People can actually laugh when they're angry.

He has lost so much face, and the only achievement he could pursue has now been directly shattered by the person involved, Lando.

At least if he's not dead, then the alibi they've created here is useless.

Wouldn't he have embarrassed himself for nothing?

No wonder he thought his clown performance was convincing; it wasn't just convincing, it was exactly like that!

He's really become a clown!

He felt things were getting out of control, and his subordinates were probably trying to distract him and get him out of the embarrassing situation he had just experienced.

In short, he had just returned to headquarters, and before he even stepped inside, his subordinates brought him another piece of bad news.

"You mean, so many of them, with so much equipment, and so many elves, went to hunt down a White Tiger... and were all wiped out in just a few hours?"

Zong Qinke's attention was indeed diverted.

At that moment, his gaze was as sharp as Randall's hand reaching for his crotch.

"They mobilized their troops, arrived at the location, and sealed off the area... all of that takes time. So, in less than ten minutes, they were all wiped out!"

"In such a short time, even if they were pigs, let alone humans, could Bai Kehu have captured them all?"

"answer me!"

Seeing Zong Qinke's angry expression, the messenger who came to report the news didn't know how to respond.
