Kongmu Che came very suddenly, without any advance notice, and had already arrived outside the fog wall of Qidao.
It seemed like everyone wanted to go against Luther today. Picking Mai's ears and admiring the blush on her face was one of Luther's great pleasures, but this pleasure was interrupted twice.
The Megalodon is almost suffering from PTSD from wandering around, Luther understands.
What are you doing, Kong Mu Tetsu?
Perhaps feeling the lack of friendliness in Luther's tone, Kongmu Tetsu also instantly understood that he was somewhat wrong in this matter.
"Just... didn't you agree to prepare a chef? I specially found many of them, but I still want to know your and Mai's opinions, so I came here to ask."
Just lie to children.
Find a few chefs, and once you find them, just send the information over and let Luther and Mai screen it themselves.
You ignore so many affairs of the Kongmu family every day and come here specially to deliver this news. Who will believe it?
Luther wanted to expose it directly so that Kong Muche's lies could not continue, but remembering Kong Muche's humbleness when he spoke just now, Luther inadvertently felt his heart soften.
In the Kongmu family, and even in the Sinnoh family stage, he is a person with dignity and respect.
Luther was fortunate enough to attend several events with him when he accepted the sponsorship contract from the Soramu family. His stern face when facing outsiders was far from the humble tone in his tone at the moment.
No matter how famous Qidao is, he will not let him show off.
Luther didn't know what kind of mental journey Kong Muche had gone through over the years, but probably...he really regretted it.
"Let him in."
Luther turned back sharply.
Mai, who was so lazy at home that she only wore a pair of pajamas and ran around, walked to the closet and ran her fingers over each piece of clothing.
"I didn't meet him until the wedding day. I was afraid that he would do something wrong, so it was better to make a good deal first."
Luther hung up the phone. Because Mana Fei could not be found anywhere, Luther asked Gardevoir to help open the fog wall and guide Kongmu Che in.
"Is this good?"
While choosing clothes, Mai said, "You always have to talk to him."
"In the past, he never let me make my own decisions or choose. He always placed his own choices on me."
"Now I have proven myself that the path I chose is good and stable, and I have found my own happiness."
"Luther, didn't you teach Acerola a word before?"
"Jinyi Night Walk, that's how you pronounce it."
Mai assisted Luther in building Qidao, and she was highly praised by the outside world.
After learning about the conflict between Mai and the Kongmu family, almost everyone laughed at Kongmu Tetsu for his poor vision and the loss of a daughter in vain.
Let's put it this way, Qidao has been entangled in strange news several times. Even if Luther is deeply involved in the whirlpool of public opinion, as long as Mai comes forward, the outside world will choose to believe her.
Karuna said that this is a kind of affinity in front of the camera, a kind of talent. Of course, it can also be understood purely that a large number of trainers in the Sinnoh region like this "true island master" who often shows up for the island.
Under a lot of highlights, the outside world has an illusion.
She doesn't care about the Kongmu family because she already has an island.
Mai would not brag about her achievements to others. Perhaps others' praise would indeed make people feel light-headed.
What Mai cares most about is what everyone on Qidao thinks of her, because only the appreciation of herself by everyone on Qida can make Mai feel happy from the bottom of her heart.
But in fact, just like when Mai said the word "Jinyi Night Walk" with a smile, she has been suppressing her heart for only one purpose.
Say everything you want to say in front of Kong Mu Te.
Everything he had done before was like walking at night in brocade clothes, but now that he saw Kong Mu Che, it was time for him to return home rich and wealthy.
Mai, who was choosing clothes with a smile on her face, took out a piece of clothing from time to time and asked Luther if it was suitable. Luther could only act like a straight man and give a perfunctory but truthful answer like "Everything is suitable."
Mai must have endured this moment for a long time.
From encountering difficulties from his family after meeting him, to the misunderstanding of the Soragi family at the Suzuran Conference, and finally to the complete separation from the Soragi family.
Every time, when Mai made that decision, she already had the belief in her heart that "given time, I want to tell you, without you helping me make the choice, I will still be outstanding."
Just like Luther went through a long journey to stand at the top of the Lily of the Valley Conference and was recognized by countless people, Mai also spent a long time finally touching her own Lily of the Valley Conference.
She walked a very difficult road, and Luther was not often able to help her. Most of the time, she led Mira and Huoyan through the thorns.
The huge popularity that Luther, the hands-off shopkeeper, brought to Qidao was always put to good use by Mai, and developed into a series of numbers on her bank account.
The champions of Qidao are not short of money, but since paying off the champion's debt, Qidao has not borrowed money from anyone due to lack of funds.
Last year, Mai gave a rare bonus to everyone on the island at the end of the year.
This bonus was also officially announced, and Qidao achieved a large surplus in the year-end audit for the first time.
It took Mai three years to go from losing money to barely balancing the balance of payments, to finally leaving a large surplus and no longer having to worry about turnover.
These are the three years that Mai has spent exploring the upper limit of her abilities. They have also been the three years that Mai has continued to learn and grow.
This ability may be attributed to the fact that the Soragi family has been exposed to it since childhood, but it is Mai herself who really exerts its effect.
Mai never told Luther about this obsession, although she could sense that Luther already knew it.
But just like the tacit understanding between the two, no one mentioned it.
After all, saying it and guessing it are completely different things.
And now, she can finally say it openly.
Mai finally chose a sportswear of the same style as the one she often wore when she was still at Soragi's house, and paired it with a pair of jeans that had been washed slightly white.
The clothes are not serious and solemn, and there is no commercial atmosphere. Everything is just like... when I was still at Soragi's house.
It was as if Toru Kuangmu was still controlling her, using the name of concern to control her actions and instilling those words that Mai was already tired of.
However, Mai has grown up now.
After breaking free from the shackles, she finally believed that she was qualified to talk to Kongmu Che.
"Do you need me to come with you?" Luther asked.
Mai smiled sweetly.
She picked up and knocked down Tibulim, and Eevee was brushing Tibulim's face with her tail.
