I'm really not a Pokémon

Chapter 188 Father and Son (Two in One)

Kanto, Light Red City, Yechen Manor

This is a well-known manor in Light Red City.It has a beautiful and classical shape and a long history. It stands on the outskirts of Qianhong City.

This manor originally belonged to the Yechen family.But this family chose to fight against the Alliance at the end of the War of Warcraft, so this manor became an estate without an owner.

The alliance took it back to the alliance, but it didn't seem to be of any use.So the alliance simply listed the manor for sale.

But there are very few people who can afford this manor, and basically those who can afford it are the same family power as the Yechen family.

Under the sorrow of the rabbit and the fox, naturally he would not buy this manor.

But just two years ago, the manor that had been lying silently like a sleeping giant on the outskirts of Light Red City was lit up again after more than ten years...

While everyone was still discussing who would own the manor, this manor, which had just become popular, closed its doors again to thank guests.

Except for the lights that are lit every night, the servants who go out to buy every day, and the roar of Pokémon, there is nothing different about this manor from before.

And the awakening of this manor did not have any meaningful impact on the other nearby families.At most, it just provided a little bit of irrelevant talk for them after dinner.

Everyone is full of curiosity about this newcomer, who doesn't know the details, and who doesn't seem to exist.

However, after several investigations, no one has figured out the source of the family's income.They are like the novel called "The Earl of Tianguan Mountain" that became popular a few years ago.

It's like coming here with the treasure of the ancient kingdom of Sinnoh, and then performing some unknown operation.

Mysterious, powerful, rich!

Everyone doesn't know how this small family leader named Mono has risen silently, and why he is so rich and low-key.

But everyone silently paid attention to the Mono family, looking forward to the day when their secrets will be revealed, or they will walk to the stage by themselves, or they will be dragged into the sun one day.

By the way, "The Earl of Tianguan Mountain" was written by Chen Ou, whose pen name is Yu Bing.It is adapted from "The Count of Monte Cristo". After all, no traveler who has not been a Wen Chaogong is incomplete.

Of course, Chen Ou is not a complete copycat. After all, he is also responsible for adding the elements of Pokémon, and it is not an easy matter...

Closer to home.

In the Yechen Manor, a gorgeously dressed young man with an antique look was eagerly walking along the winding and elegant corridor.

He had no intention of admiring the murals describing myths and legends in the corridor, nor did he pay attention to the realistic and graceful reliefs on the pillar. His face was sullen, his lips were tightly pressed, his hands were clenched into fists, his joints were white, but his hands were trembling, as if he was angry and afraid of something at the same time.

In the room at the end of the corridor, a man wearing simple clothes was sitting in the shadow of the corner of the room. The chair he was sitting on was equally exquisite. The armrests of the chair were a pair of wings, and the top of the back of the chair was a wood carving of the head of a phoenix king.And there are more than a dozen such chairs in this room.

If you look at it one by one, you will find that the carvings on each of the chairs here are Phoenix King, but each chair is different...

In the middle of the room, a desk for office or reading is bathed in the morning sunlight.

If a person sits at the table, the sunlight will illuminate him very energetically.

But that man didn't seem to have the desire to stand under the sun.He dragged his chair into the shadows to keep himself away from the light.

In front of the desk, a man in a housekeeper's uniform was reporting his work.

"Mr. Mono, all of our people have lost contact. Now we don't know anything about the situation in the wild wilderness area."

The expression on the butler's face was the same as usual, but his movements were more rigid than usual, showing that his mood was not as calm as his expression at this time.

"Don't be too nervous, Ah Cheng." The man sat on the chair, the shadow covered his expression.But there was a reassuring force in his tone, "Send someone to investigate again. It must not be an accident that everyone disappeared together. Call Da Xiong and ask him what's going on."

The man gave orders in an orderly manner, and he didn't seem to be nervous about losing contact with all his subordinates.

"Okay, Mr. Mono. I understand." The housekeeper, that is, Ah Cheng's body, gave a noticeable gesture, and then nodded to Mono in response.

Mono nodded, seeming very satisfied with Ah Cheng's return to normal.

"Tell Da Xiong, I have his reasons, and I have already participated in it, so I don't want to get out. My boat is not so easy to sail."

There was a cold killing intent in Mono's tone.

Although the specific situation is not known yet, it is always right to warn Daxiong first.As long as Daxiong is kept steady, there is a possibility of continuing to deceive.

"Yes, I will tell his Mr. Mono. However, Mr. Mono, we will run out of stock soon, and the batch of Pokémon that was supposed to be delivered 3 days ago has not arrived."

Ah Cheng had a troubled look on his face.

"The guests are in a hurry." Ah Cheng also said helplessly.

If this conversation is spread to the outside world, it will definitely cause an uproar.It turns out that the source of wealth of this mysterious family is actually selling Pokémon!What's more, the Pokémon caught in the wild wilderness area are sold, which is a serious crime!
Of course, this matter is not a secret among the real senior families.

"No matter how urgent you are, you have to wait. They can go to other families to buy it. I have no problem. If you don't go, then wait honestly. When the matter is resolved, I will give them a [-]% discount..."

"Father!"

A clear but angry male voice with a trembling voice sounded outside the door. Before the old Mono could speak, the little Mono had already opened the door and barged in.

"Good day, master."

Ah Cheng bowed and saluted Little Mono.

And little Mono didn't even mean to give him a look, but just stared straight at his father.

Old Mono and Little Mono looked at each other for a while, and finally sighed softly, and said, "Ah Cheng, you go out first."

Ah Cheng bowed and said, "Yes, Mr. Mono."

After speaking, he bowed towards Little Mono, then walked out of the room, and closed the door gently.

The father and son in the room looked at each other, and then Old Mono spoke first: "What's the matter, you rushed into my room aggressively early in the morning, and then stared at me angrily, by the way, you should relieve the stiffness and tension on your face, otherwise your anger will only be covered up by your timidity."

Saying that, Old Mono stood up, glanced at his son in the sun, and walked out of the shadows.

"You, what are you going to tell me again?"

Old Mono looked down at his son, with gentle eyes on top of his cold expression.

Little Mono looked up at his father, opened his mouth, but said nothing.

Old Mono was not impatient either, just looked at him.

"I, I think father, you should take this opportunity to stop. Don't do this kind of thing anymore."

Little Mono finally mustered up the courage to say.

Old Mono turned around in an instant, then sat back on the chair, hiding himself in the shadows again.Little Mono stood in the light and looked at his father, but he couldn't see his face clearly.

"reason."

Old Mono asked coldly in a low voice.

Thousands of thoughts flashed through Little Mono's mind, but there seemed to be few reasons that could convince his father.

The little Mono was silent again, and the old Mono said: "What right do you have to object to these things I do? The clothes you are wearing now, the house you live in, the maids around you, and the food you eat every day are all bought by me in exchange for this kind of business. As a person with vested interests, what right do you have to object?"

Little Mono blushed instantly.Yes, how can he refute such a fact?He likes this kind of house, which is big enough, so he no longer needs to squeeze into a small bed with his father; he likes this kind of food, which is delicious enough, and it is no longer the meal without oil, water and meat;

He who is like this, who enjoys life like this, has any right to oppose the 'business' that brought him all this?

Old Mono's face was hidden in the shadows, so he couldn't see clearly.

"Go back if you have nothing else to do, you don't even want to say good morning to your father."

Although he said regret, the old Mono's tone was still cold, and there was no sign of regret.

But Little Mono also stood there firmly.I don't know what I'm still struggling with.

Old Mono didn't urge him, but just looked at his son silently, with an expression on his face under the shadow.

"But...Mom, she likes Pokémon the most..."

After a long time, Little Mono slowly raised his head and said.His eye sockets were red, and tears were rolling in them, as if they were about to gush out.

Old Mono was silent, still calm, as if he was asleep or frozen.

And Little Mono has no intention of quitting: "I admit that I enjoy my current life very much, and I may not like it if I go back to my past life. But father..."

His tears finally slid down.

"Mom, she wouldn't want to see you like this. We have enough money now, and we can continue to live in another place!" Little Mono said excitedly, and finally almost roared, but also seemed to whine.

Finally, the old Mono spoke, and said in a hoarse tone: "If you didn't have no money back then, your mother wouldn't have died."

"But my mother would never want to use the money earned like this."

Little Mono said firmly.

Indeed, how could she want the money she earned like this?

Old Mono raised his head, as if he was enduring something.

"But she is dead, and you and I are still alive."

Old Mono's tone returned to ice-cold.

"You! Father!"

Finally, it was pure whining.

"Leave here, I still have my business to deal with, you are willing to go out and hang out with your cronies and friends, and if you want to report, I will do as you want, now, leave!"

Old Mono's tone was like extremely cold unmelting ice, still lacking any warmth and humanity.

"Have you lost the memory and conscience of those years?" Little Mono asked in confusion and pain with tears in his eyes.

"When the first Pokémon was sold and the money came into my hands, your father was already dead." Old Mono said coldly, "The one who lives now is Mono, the Pokémon dealer Mono who never died well, a middle-aged man who lost his wife and son, Mono."

Little Mono looked at his father, trying to see the expression under the shadow.

But in the end nothing can be done.

"Good morning, Father. Goodbye . . . Father."

Little Mono turned and left the room where light and darkness intertwined.

In the shadows, old Mono watched his son walk out of the house illuminated by the morning light, watched him slowly close the door, moved his fingers on the armrest, and finally fell down.

The same goes for tears.

The door was closed.

Old Mono got up, walked a little staggeringly to the table, then picked up the upside-down photo on the table with his trembling hands, and held the photo in front of his eyes.

Under the sun, there is a handsome young man, a beautiful and elegant woman, and a toddler.Their smiles are so real and bright.

They were very poor back then, and she made all the clothes they wore by herself, and no matter how bad the ingredients were, she would always find ways to make them delicious.

said the poor man.

"I will definitely give you a happy life, live in a big house, and have many people around you to serve you!"

said the happy woman.

"With you and your children by your side, you are already happy."

Old Mono touched the woman's face in the photo, and a tear fell on the photo.

He stayed away from that table.He was afraid that she would see what he was like now.The shameless businessman, the wicked criminal, it was him, Mono, that poor man.

"There is a house, and there are servants. The children have grown up. But you are gone..."

His voice is full of grievances, like a child who has lost his favorite.

And he is already a middle-aged man in his 40s.

"The child grows up and knows what is right and what is wrong. Just now, he has separated from me."

"I asked Ah Cheng to prepare a house for him alone, a large sum of money. The money is very clean. It is the money I earned from investing. Although it is still a little dirty, it is not unacceptable."

"Ah Cheng, do you remember. Lao Yun's son, the child you adopted, has grown up now. I know that he has a very good relationship with his son. This is also very good. There are not many people I can trust. But Ah Cheng's hands are also dirty. So...he can't follow his son. I will find a way to deal with it."

"You don't like to hear these words. I'm sorry, I really can't talk to people about these things, so please listen to them... Forget it, I'll talk to you in person later."

"I think I can find you soon."

"Miko..."
