Enemies Meet on a Narrow Road

The voice drew closer from afar. Within a few breaths, the other party's flashlight beam shone over, revealing Su Hao and Metagross, two "uninvited guests" too lazy to use flashlights—one relying on Aura, the other on Psychic-type powers.

The imperious Ian froze on the spot when he saw Su Hao and Metagross. The well-built female bodyguard beside him had not expected to run into anyone here either, and her expression shifted repeatedly.

A Beedrill radiating a chilling aura followed them. It was at the Late Professional Level, and its sharp twin needles gleamed with a cold sheen, making it obvious that it had been trained exceptionally well.

Raising such a fragile and common Pokémon as Beedrill to this level could only mean that one of the two had considerable skill as a Beedrill Trainer.

Ian aimed his flashlight directly at Su Hao and Metagross's eyes. An ordinary person would definitely have been affected by such an unreasonable act, but neither Su Hao, whose eyes were covered by a layer of Aura, nor Metagross was bothered by a mere flashlight.

Su Hao frowned deeply. Combined with what had happened in Olden City, Ian's arrogant tone, and this downright offensive behavior, Su Hao's impression of him had already fallen to rock bottom.

Then he saw Ian first sizing him up, then revealing a greedy look upon seeing Metagross's silver-white body. Su Hao knew they probably would not be able to simply nod to each other and pass by.

Even so, Su Hao intended to give Ian one more chance. As long as he could Endure his greed, Su Hao, who intended to act discreetly, had no need to make a move—

But after Su Hao gave the other party a slight nod and passed them with Metagross, Ian's domineering voice rang out.
