Chapter 23 Zhao Shan

The middle-aged man's behavior made both Charlotte and Xia Yu very unhappy. It was obvious that they were the first to see the elf egg, so whether they wanted it or not, they should follow the principle of first come, first served. This was the most basic courtesy. But this guy just asked someone to buy it up.

Charlotte's smile faded and he looked at the middle-aged man. "Sir, everything should be based on first come first served. We are looking at this elf egg. You have to wait until we finish looking at it before you can choose. You came up and asked someone to wrap up this elf egg without saying anything. What do you mean?"

"Hey, isn't this the youngest Quasi-Elite Trainer, Gym Leader Charlotte?" The middle-aged man's tone was full of teasing, and his eyes were full of jealousy and resentment when he looked at Charlotte: "Oh, I forgot, you are not a gym leader now. I heard that two Quasi-Elite Pokémon of yours died. What a pity. You come here to pick Pokémon eggs? When it comes to picking Pokémon eggs, the quicker the better. Since you don't want any, we have to choose first."

The middle-aged man was from the Zhao family, named Zhao Shan, and was born and raised in Tiandu City. The Zhao family was a large family in Tiandu City with considerable power. Like Charlotte, he was also a fire trainer. Although his father's protection allowed him to easily become a gym leader-level trainer, his talent was limited. He participated in several gym leader ranking battles, but unfortunately lost all of them. He failed to become the strongest fire trainer at the gym leader level, and naturally he was not qualified to be the fire gym leader.

In fact, Zhao Shan and Charlotte did not know each other, and had never fought each other in the gym leader ranking battle. It was just that when Zhao Shan saw that the young Charlotte had become the strongest fire gym leader-level trainer in Xishu Province and took the position of fire gym leader in Honglian City, the narrow-minded Zhao Shan became extremely jealous and resentful of Charlotte and bore a grudge against him.

After hearing that Charlotte had killed two quasi-king-level Pokémon a few days ago, he was overjoyed and opened a bottle of champagne to celebrate.

Today he came to the Flame Secret Realm to accompany Zhao Zhengyi, the third-generation eldest son of the Zhao family, to choose a Pokémon egg. Zhao Zhengyi's grandfather had made great contributions to the Pokémon Association and even sacrificed his life for it. From now on, the eldest son of each generation of the Zhao family can choose a Pokémon egg.

Zhao Shan had not expected to meet Charlotte, and instinctively wanted to humiliate Charlotte to vent his anger over the past few years. As for snatching Charlotte's Pokémon egg, it was completely coincidental. After all, no matter how much Zhao Shan hated Charlotte, he knew what was important and didn't dare to joke about the important matter of selecting Pokémon eggs. The reason he did this was because this Growlithe Pokémon egg looked so good!

Looking at the arrogant look and arrogant tone of the middle-aged man, Charlotte was also very angry. Most fire trainers have hot tempers. He said directly: "I can see that you are deliberately looking for trouble, right? Who do you think you are? Why are you barking like a dog here?"

Xia Luo's three consecutive scoldings made Zhao Shan so angry that his face turned red.

"What did you say?"

Zhao Shan was so angry that he was shaking all over, pointing at Charlotte and speaking coldly.

"What? You want to fight?" Charlotte also had a hot temper and raised his voice.

The two guides were frightened by their tense appearance. The guide next to Zhao Shan didn't dare to speak. Only Jiang Qinglan stood up bravely and advised: "Gentlemen, please calm down. Private fighting is not allowed in the Flame Secret Realm. Otherwise, the Secret Realm officials will take back your place in the selection of elf eggs."

"Why are you talking so much? A waiter who only sells her face dares to threaten me?!" Zhao Shan didn't dare to really fight with Xia Luo, but he dared to attack the guide. He slapped Jiang Qinglan in the face with such great force that Jiang Qinglan took several steps back and almost dropped the Daruma Baboon's elf egg in her hand. Fortunately, she held the elf egg tightly and did not let it slip out. Jiang Qinglan's left face became red and swollen in an instant.

"What are you doing?" Xia Yu quickly helped Jiang Qinglan up, and he was furious. This was a king-level Daruma baboon! If you want to hit someone, just hit him. What if you accidentally hurt this elf egg? ! Xia Yu became more and more angry, and couldn't help but shouting: "You bully the weak and fear the strong, do you want to fight?! Come, let me practice with you."

Apart from anything else, the Xia Yu brothers are both over 1.8 meters tall and are both young and strong men. If they really fight, the two Zhao brothers will be no match at all.

Jiang Qinglan, who was protected by Xia Yu, looked at Xia Yu standing up for her. She felt confused and couldn't help but think wildly, is he angry for me? Does he like me? Feeling the care from Xia Yu, Jiang Qinglan felt sweet in her heart, and the pain on her face was reduced a little. She looked at Xia Yu with her beautiful eyes.

Xia Luo was also surprised. He and Xia Yu had completely different personalities. He, as the elder brother, had a hot temper, while Xia Yu, as the younger brother, was mature and steady, calm in the face of things, and very opinionated. How could Xia Yu, who was always mature and steady, be so angry when a guide was beaten?

Could it be that Xiaoyu really fell in love with Jiang Qinglan? Although this girl is very pretty, it was only their first meeting and they fell in love at first sight!

But his father has been discussing with him recently about arranging a marriage for Xiaoyu, looking for a family with a strong background and powerful financial resources, so that they can get through the difficult years. If Xiaoyu falls in love with this woman, all this will be over.

Xia Yu naturally didn't know what the two people were thinking. All he had in his eyes was the Daruma Baboon's elf egg. This was not an ordinary Daruma Baboon elf egg, but a Daruma Baboon elf egg worth 128 million!

Xia Yu looked at Zhao Shan coldly and said to another guide beside him, "Call and ask your supervisor to come over."

"Okay...Okay." Another guide responded in a trembling voice.

"Are you okay?" Xia Yu looked at the egg in Jiang Qinglan's arms with concern and asked.

"No...it's okay." Jiang Qinglan's face turned slightly red when she heard Xia Yu's words, and her heart beat faster. Looking at the handsome Xia Yu, her heart trembled.

I have to say that Xia Yu is really handsome, having inherited the beauty of his father and mother. Back then, Xia Yong, a poor boy, was able to pursue the famous lady Lin Xuemei, and his appearance was partly the reason.

Just then, the sound of high heels suddenly rang out from outside, and a mature and sexy woman walked in from outside. She glanced at Jiang Qinglan, whose cheeks were red and swollen, and turned to look at the people who were on the verge of a fight: "Mr. Zhao, Mr. Xia Luo, I am the director of the incubation room of the Flame Secret Realm. You can just call me Xiao Qin. What happened to you? The fire energy of this Flame Secret Realm is so strong that it makes everyone angry."

Manager Qin first greeted the four people, and then asked another guide: "Xiao Lin, what happened?"

Another guide named Xiao Lin slowly recounted what had just happened: "Mr. Charlotte and his team saw this Grunt egg first and were observing it, but they hadn't made a decision. Then Mr. Zhao Shan and Mr. Zhao also took a fancy to this egg. They looked at it for a while and chose it directly. Mr. Charlotte said that everything should be based on first come, first served. Then they started arguing and were about to fight. Qing Lan tried to persuade them that fighting might result in their being disqualified from the selection. Then Mr. Zhao Shan beat Qing Lan."

Xiao Lin succinctly explained what had happened, then stood aside, keeping silent, waiting for Manager Qin to speak.
