Xu Mu left the final work of capturing prisoners to Xu Feng and departed first.
He was past the age of showing off at every opportunity. He had been young back then, but he had had his fill of it now. If there was no reason to show off, he would avoid it when he could. Being in the spotlight was tiring, you know?
Besides, he had drawn plenty of attention during the battle. Xu Feng could handle the remaining odds and ends.
Xu Mu had learned a little tact. He knew what his dad was like now, so he dealt with him accordingly instead of provoking the old man for no reason.
After leaving the Secret Realm, Xu Mu could see that the exchange event could not go on.
Xu Hong aside, Hiroshi and Ash had genuinely given their all in the battle.
There was no need to find another excuse to beat them up. Xu Mu was not that much of an idiot, was he?
After chatting with Hiroshi and Ash, exchanging contact details, and agreeing to have a couple of proper battles when they had time, Xu Mu mounted Lugia and returned to Chang'an City with the Charizards.
On the way, Xu Mu also settled on a price with Scarred Charizard.
What price? The appearance fee, of course!
The Charizards were not free labor. Tens of thousands of them had turned out. Surely they deserved something for it?
Even a token payment was still a payment!
Scarred Charizard could say he did not want anything, but Xu Mu could not offer nothing. What did you call that?
Perfect social skills!
"I think these resources should be enough to help the twenty thousand or so youngsters back home grow. Thanks for coming this time."
As he said goodbye
