Chapter 451

"Sorry, I don't plan to sell!"

"It's not about money; I'm not short on cash. I really won't sell!"

Hanging up the phone, Bai Jing sighed!

Deng Xin asked, "Who is it this time?"

"The Bug-type overlord Mao Jiatong."

While speaking, Bai Jing set his phone to block strangers.

It's too annoying; several people have already called wanting to buy the Axe Mantis, and now even an overlord has been provoked.

"Heh, you're asking for trouble!"

"Isn't it because you guys carelessly posted on Moments and drew them to me?"

Deng Xin stuck out her tongue; she was the first to post on Moments!

"As punishment, tonight I'll teach you a harsh lesson!"

Deng Xin's face flushed; she challenged, "Am I afraid of you?"

"Oh?"

"Let's go back to the room; I'll let you taste the power of eighteen martial arts!"

But just as the two, full of excitement, stepped out of the dining hall, they were stopped by the host of the Bug-Catching Competition.

"Mr. Bai, could I borrow a moment of your time?"

"You've also come for the Axe Mantis?"

That was obvious!

"Exactly! My employer said that if you return the Axe Mantis to us, we will allow you to choose another Pokémon again and supplement you with one hundred thousand Dragon Coins. What do you say?"

Bai Jing smiled, "Return? You speak as if I stole your Axe Mantis!"

"Mr. Bai, you should understand that the Axe Mantis is not yet yours; we are merely entrusting it to your temporary custody."

"Have you forgotten? Tomorrow it will be mine, rightfully so!"

"This... Mr. Bai, you might not even win first place. Rather than end up with nothing, why not accept my proposal just now? It benefits both of us, doesn't it?"

Bai Jing shook his head, "Do you think I would have let the Scyther evolve so early if I didn't have absolute confidence?"

"In any case, I won't give up the Axe Mantis, so don't waste your breath!"

"Mr. Bai, won't you consider it again?"

"No need to say more!"

Bai Jing pulled Deng Xin and left directly, causing the host's face to darken.

"Ungrateful!"

He took out his phone and called his employer.

"Boss, he refused!"

"Yes, a young man who doesn't know the times!"

"Good!"

"Good, I will make arrangements; rest assured!"

After hanging up, the host looked in the direction Bai Jing had left with a cold sneer.

"Young man, since you refuse the wine and insist on the punishment, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Minor troubles didn't bother Bai Jing, because he was busy putting Deng Xin into eighteen different poses.

······ Requesting flowers ······

Early the next morning, everyone gathered outside the forest where the competition venue had been set up.

"Now we reach the battle phase. If you wish to take your chosen Pokémon back, everyone must work hard, after all, there is only one spot!"

After speaking, the host glanced at Bai Jing.

Hmph, that person will definitely not be you; the Axe Mantis can only stay here. You will not only fail to take it away but also suffer heavy losses; this is the consequence of your ingratitude.

"The rules are pairs; the loser is eliminated, with no chance to retry!"

"Please find your corresponding venue and opponent based on your number."

"The match begins!"

Bai Jing's number was one, the venue was number one, and his opponent was number two, a senior student named Yu Ren.

"What bad luck, meeting Brother Bai on the very first try, but being the first to witness the Axe Mantis's brilliance is consolation enough!"

"Senior, don't speak such defeatist words; perhaps you might win?"

"Haha... I dare not hope to win against you, and I dare not win against you either; I'd be beaten to death!"

Because if Bai Jing lost, the precious Axe Mantis would have to be returned to the organizers, something all students in Magic City could not accept.

Moreover, would Bai Jing lose?

That is impossible!
