Chapter 1357 Park Jae-yong's Price

As Xia Yu rode the Sonic Dragon toward the location sent by Sylvia, he pondered how to deal with the newly discovered Taijing Secret Realm.

First of all, we absolutely cannot give up on this newly discovered Taijing Secret Realm; no matter what, someone from China must step forward.

Because this is the "first" secret realm discovered in the Padiya Secret Realm, its symbolic significance far outweighs its practical significance. Regardless of whether there are rare treasures or Pokémon inside, China must take action, and it must do so in a strong manner to demonstrate its strength.

Therefore, the best candidates to make a move are only myself and Uncle Lü!

After thinking for a moment, Xia Yu's face showed a resolute expression, and he finally decided to prepare for both possibilities.

On the surface, let Uncle-Master Lü and Captain Feng work together to compete openly with these champions. On the other hand, let Xu Xiu monitor these people to see who will ultimately benefit and take the treasure from the secret realm. It would be fine to just deal with the person who gets the treasure in the end.

Having two plans should ensure that nothing goes wrong.

Thinking of this, Xia Yu immediately took action, sending messages to Lü Tinghe, Xu Xiu, and Feng Kuangyin, briefly describing what had happened, and asking Uncle Lü and Captain Feng to meet up and go to the scene of the incident first, while Xu Xiu remained hidden in the shadows.

There were no problems with Lü Tinghe and Feng Kuangyin; everything went smoothly. After receiving the news, the two immediately rushed to Taijing's location. However, there was a minor hiccup with Xu Xiu.

…………

Xu Xiu had just brought Park Jae-yong, the champion of Baekje, to the Fifth Prison and was about to contact Xia Yu when he received a message from Xia Yu. He immediately called Xia Yu.

"Hey, boss, I've seen the message. I'll be heading to the Taijing Secret Realm soon. I can go alone, and it'll be easier to hide. As for Fire Fist, leave him in the mountain cave prison." Xu Xiu said, "Help the fifth group. There are more and more people being imprisoned, and Phoenix and Lady might not have enough manpower."

"Alright, we'll do it your way. Don't be too anxious. It might take a while for the Taijing Secret Realm to give us the results. Just remember who will have the last laugh," Xia Yu said in a deep voice.

"Okay. By the way, there's something I need to tell you. The matter of the two champions from Baekje has been resolved." Xu Xiu briefly mentioned the matter of the two champions from Baekje: "Li Ruijun has been dealt with, but it wasn't us who made the move. It was Park Jae-yong who took action. He is the head of the Park Group in Baekje and wanted to seize an opportunity."

“I also believe that he is more important alive than dead, and given that he decisively killed Li Ruijun, I took it upon myself to give him a chance. He wants to talk to you in person,” Xu Xiu said in a deep voice.

“Park Group…” Xia Yu pondered for a moment. He knew a little about Park Group. Park Group in Baekje was a multinational conglomerate with diversified businesses covering transportation, entertainment, catering, trade, medical care, electronics, construction, real estate and other industries in dozens of countries and hundreds of regions. They also had related businesses in East China. It was an extremely large business empire.

Killing Park Jae-yong would indeed cause many unexpected chain reactions. He is certainly more valuable alive than dead, but... the key issue is that Park Jae-yong will absolutely not obey!

Xia Yu was also curious as to why someone as powerful as Park Jae-yong would take such a big risk to come to Wanli Shitang Island.

Xia Yu's face showed a thoughtful expression. After a moment, he immediately made a decision to change direction and head to the mountain cave prison. He wanted to see Park Jae-yong in person.

"I'm coming right now."

"it is good."

…………

Xia Yu rode the sonic dragon back to the mountain cave prison at an extremely fast speed, and a moment later he met Park Jae-yong in a makeshift room.

At this moment, Park Jae-yong was sitting upright in front of the chair, deep in thought with his eyes closed. After hearing the noise from the door, he slowly opened his eyes and looked at Xia Yu.

"Hello, Xia Yu." Park Jae-yong stood up and greeted Xia Yu.

As the saying goes, when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. What's more, he was a prisoner at the moment, so he had to keep a very low profile. But as an old fox, the moment he saw Xia Yu, most of his worries were relieved.

Because if Xia Yu is willing to see him, it means that he is likely safe and his chances of survival have greatly increased.

“Park Champion,” Xia Yu replied, nodding at Park Jae-yong.

This undoubtedly sent a goodwill signal, reassuring Park Jae-yong that he should be able to survive, but he didn't know how much he would have to pay to get back alive.

"Park Champion, there's something I'm really curious about. With your status and position, why would you risk making this trip?" Xia Yu asked Park Jae-yong.

Park Jae-yong didn't rush to answer. Instead, he took a deep breath, looked at Xia Yu, and asked in return, "Xia Champion, then why did you come here?"

“This is Chinese territory, and as the champion of China, I have an inescapable responsibility to defend it,” Xia Yu replied.

Hearing Xia Yu's answer, Park Jae-yong smiled gently and slowly said, "Champion Xia, this world is a world where the strong prey on the weak. Although our Baekje Kingdom appears prosperous, it is extremely poor in terms of both territory and resources. To gain a foothold in Baekje Kingdom, one needs strong strength, courage, and... determination."

“The competition in Baekje is far fiercer than in China. Many people want to remove me from this position. If I were to step down or die, the entire Park Group would be completely divided up in no time. But similarly, if I could advance further…”

"My purpose in coming here is to go further. Although I am known as one of the three champions in Baekje, my actual strength is only ranked third. I am not too old yet, and my body can still move, so I want to give it one more try."

"Unfortunately, I failed, Xia Guanjun. What price do I need to pay for you to let me leave?" Park Jae-yong calmly stated his thoughts, then slowly raised his head to look at Xia Yu.

“This matter isn’t urgent.” Xia Yu looked at Park Jae-yong and said slowly, “You can’t leave here for a while. We will give you enough food and water, but it will only be simple food. Also, considering your special circumstances, you will be kept in a separate room, and your Pokémon will be kept by us. Any questions?”

“No problem.” Park Jae-yong nodded.

"Don't worry, Park Champion, as long as you cooperate with us, you will definitely be able to go back alive." Xia Yu said, "Also, regarding the price you just mentioned, if our Rockets team does everything in its power to help you win the Baekje championship, what kind of price are you willing to pay?"
