The old man had a lot to say, and it seemed like he never had enough to say. His face was full of smiles, which were the warmth that memories brought him.
Just as Cao Moxuan was listening carefully, the old man suddenly changed his attitude and slammed his rough palm on the table with such force that the teacup in front of Cao Moxuan fell over.
"But she is also the most disobedient one!"
The originally kind and gentle face disappeared, and his eyes became as sharp as a hawk.
He stared at Cao Moxuan, who seemed a little bit at a loss, for a long time, and finally calmed down.
"Do you believe it? If she had listened to me, she would be living a happy life now."
The old man's face was full of desolation. You could see that he was very sad, really very sad. Besides sadness, he also felt regret, annoyance, and many other negative emotions.
"Shala~"
Gardevoir comforted the old man.
Cao Moxuan watched all this silently. He had already roughly guessed what was going on between his mother and the old man.
"Can you do me a favor?"
The old man's eyes were filled with tears and his look was full of pleading.
Cao Moxuan nodded. He couldn't bear to reject this old man who loved his mother so deeply. It was hard to imagine that they were just in a relationship of adopter and adoptee.
The old man took out a crumpled piece of paper from his pocket and placed it in front of Cao Moxuan.
"Go to this place, find the man who lives here, and kill him."
kill???
Cao Moxuan thought he had heard it wrong until the old man repeated it again in a roar.
"May I know why?"
This was the first time Cao Moxuan spoke in front of the old man. Although he drank black coffee and tea, it did not help Cao Moxuan and his voice was still hoarse.
That's because I haven't spoken for too long.
"Because he beat your mother and left her to die in despair..."
Hearing this, Cao Moxuan was frightened. His hair stood up coldly as if he was possessed. His confused mind was like a blank sheet of paper.
"My mother...didn't she...die of illness..."
Cao Moxuan still couldn't believe it.
If he died of illness, he could let it go, but if he was murdered, this would be a blood feud and he would be irreconcilable!
"I don't have to lie to you."
The old man seemed to be thirsty. He was no longer as elegant as a gentleman before. He directly picked up the black coffee and drank it all in one breath.
"For so many years, I have been holding back, wanting to leave this opportunity to you, because I think you need it more than I do."
The old man's momentum gradually increased, and his hawk-like eyes returned again.
He stared straight at Cao Moxuan: "If you don't want to, or you don't dare, I will take action to deal with him immediately."
"Tell me your answer, Cao Moxuan!"
Cao Moxuan was like a walking corpse at this moment. He slowly stood up and bowed deeply to the old man: "Grandpa, thank you."
"Leave this to me."
Then, Cao Moxuan picked up the crumpled piece of paper in front of him and put it in his pocket, then walked out without looking back...
"Grandpa..."
The old man kept repeating the way Cao Moxuan addressed him, with a rare hint of tenderness in his eyes.
"Gardevoir, he needs your help."
Just as Gardevoir was about to leave, Paul said, “Sir, Master Mo Xuan’s strength is not weak.”
The old man looked at Paul and motioned for him to continue.
"When I was in contact with Master Mo Xuan before, I found that the strength of Master Mo Xuan's Pokémons was not weak. According to my judgment, Master Mo Xuan is at least a quasi-king trainer."
After hearing this, the old man actually showed a relieved expression.
However, he still said to Gardevoir: "Go, he is also your junior, take care of him."
Gardevoir nodded gently, and disappeared on the spot with a burst of purple light.
After leaving the coffee shop, Cao Moxuan stopped a taxi and told the driver the address on the note.
"Sir, the journey is a bit long. Please take a good rest. I will call you when we arrive."
The address on the note was in a forest near Thousand Oaks, where the person mentioned in the note lived.
Cao Moxuan did not follow the driver's advice and chose to rest. He was filled with anger at the moment. He kept rubbing the note in his hand, the same movements as the old man when he held the note.
Wait for me...
Chapter 455 Entering Thousand Oaks Forest
Thousand Oaks Forest is not far from Thousand Oaks City. It can be regarded as being right next to Thousand Oaks City. It is the largest forest near Thousand Oaks City and also the most dangerous place near Thousand Oaks City.
Thousand Oaks is not like Los Angeles, where there are a large number of trainers exploring the wild, and dangerous Pokémon are either subdued or expelled.
Thousand Oaks is just a quiet little city. Not many trainers settle here, and not many trainers pass by here, so the wilds of Thousand Oaks still maintain their original dangerous environment.
Cao Moxuan's target lives in Thousand Oaks Forest.
According to the information, the target is a trainer who is at least at the quasi-king level. Only such a powerful trainer can live in seclusion in Thousand Oaks Forest for a long time and still remain safe and sound.
Only when Cao Moxuan stepped into the Thousand Oaks Forest did he understand why the target was willing to live in seclusion in such a forest.
The Thousand Oaks Forest is very close to the coastline and is influenced by the warm sea breeze. The entire forest is lush and green all year round, making it very suitable for elves to live and hide.
I can only say that the environment here is perfect for concealing one's whereabouts.
Cao Moxuan did not release too many elves, only Kog'Maw and Metagross which served as a temporary mount.
How does Metagross sit?
Sit like a flying saucer.
Of course, Metagross was only flying low to the ground, because flying over the forest so blatantly was a very irrational behavior.
Cao Moxuan came here today for an important matter and did not want to cause unnecessary trouble.
The Thousand Oaks Forest was quite lively. There were flocks of swallows flying around in the treetops, mushrooms gathering in groups of two or three to bask in the sun, and snake-like bears stumbling around carrying food to their nests...
Their existence makes the entire Thousand Oaks forest look full of vitality.
However, Cao Moxuan did not disturb them or join them. He continued to walk towards the target location deep in the forest.
Maybe Cao Moxuan walked too fast and accidentally startled a charging bear. The startled charging bear immediately rushed towards Cao Moxuan and Big Mouth Wa and his group with an angry face.
The Straight Bear is a Pokémon that is good at running in a straight line, just as its name suggests. Its streamlined body helps it reduce resistance when running.
When they see their prey, they will run straight at it, and their speed can easily exceed 100 kilometers per hour. When they find obstacles, they will turn at right angles to avoid them. They are not good at roads that turn slowly, and they cannot turn without stopping suddenly.
The charging bear in front of him was moving extremely fast, which made Cao Moxuan wonder if it was a charging bear with the dream characteristic [Speedy Legs].
Despite this, the powerful Metagross still easily captured the Iron-Headed Child. With a [Mental Power], the Straight Bear, which was unable to dodge, was sent flying backwards.
Of course, Metagross didn't hit too hard, and the damage suffered by Spurtback came more from the reaction force generated by itself.
However, at this time, the charging bear could only lie on the ground, helpless and furious.
Cao Moxuan ignored it and continued to move deeper into the forest under the protection of Sarge and Metagross.
The deeper Cao Moxuan went into the Thousand Oaks Forest, the more wild elves he encountered.
Among these wild elves, there are some that are relatively rare in normal days, but Cao Moxuan did not provoke them. At this moment, he hoped to find his target as soon as possible rather than alert the enemy.
However, neither Cao Moxuan nor the Metagross noticed that far away from them, there were several Hidden Dragons that had blended in with the surrounding environment and were secretly observing them.
The Pokémons have the ability to change their body color to match the surrounding scenery. They can freely change their body color to blend into the scenery and approach their prey without being noticed, but the pattern on their abdomen will not disappear.
This group of Metamorphosis cleverly hid far away and did not expose themselves to the range of Metagross's super powers.
After observing Cao Moxuan and the giant golden monster for a while, several stealth dragons quietly moved deeper into the Thousand Oaks Forest and disappeared in a short while.
After Big Mouth Baby easily dealt with a big wolfhound that attacked the team again, Cao Moxuan suddenly heard a human cry for help.
The voice sounded like a young girl.
However, Cao Moxuan had no interest in him at this time. Instead, he was crazily complaining about the other person's brain in his heart.
Shouting in a forest like this is like thinking your life is too long.
Cao Moxuan, whose mentality changed, finally held back and did not let the team move towards the source of the sound.
He didn't want to join in the fun.
Cao Zi said it well: If I don't go to the mountain, the mountain will come to save me.
Not long after walking, Cao Moxuan saw a flame chicken carrying a girl on its back running towards him quickly.
Typical trouble that comes to your doorstep.
Behind them was a group of large wolfhounds chasing them.
Pokémons like the Great Wolfhound, with their excellent sense of smell, speed, and teamwork, have always been very annoying in the forest. Whenever any accident happens to a trainer on an outdoor adventure, it is most likely their fault.
After seeing Cao Moxuan and his group, Flammel immediately showed a look of surprise and asked Cao Moxuan for help.
Cao Moxuan, who has always been soft-hearted, will certainly not stand idly by.
At his signal, Big Mouth took the time to complete two [Sword Dances] and rushed towards the pack of wolfhounds waving his steel-like jaws.
Big Mouth Baby does not have many skills that he is proficient in, but these simple few skills are enough to support his output.
The Fighting-type [Enhanced Fist], after being enhanced by the attack power of [Sword Dance] twice, already possessed considerable power. It almost knocked down the rushing wolfhounds one by one, and the power of [Enhanced Fist] was still increasing.
Cao Moxuan looked at Big Mouth with satisfaction. He believed that the quality of the moves was more important than the quantity. As long as Big Mouth could persist in training, she would always be the big sister in her team.
Although she had been idle for a long time, after the birth of her child with Lucario, Kog'Maw's temperament changed drastically. She came from behind through hard training, and her strength surpassed that of Boskodora and Steelix again, and she regained her position as the team's number one.
It can be said that Big Mouth Baby is now the strongest in Cao Moxuan's team, and will also be the first elf in Cao Moxuan's team to be promoted to the king level.
With Big Mouth standing alone in front, Blaziken brought the girl to Cao Moxuan easily, and none of the big wolfhounds could get past the line.
