Chapter 490: Yama Minamiya's bet
Translator: CKtalon Editor:
Riko hurriedly removed her fingers and looked at the cell phone screen. Her expression imdiately stiffened when she realized that it was Yama Minamiya's call.
Mozzie and Kevin had turned their heads over instantly. When they saw Riko's expression, they guessed that it was Yama Minamiya's phone call. It was definitely the outco from the eting. The phone call was to tell them the result!
They imdiately held their breaths in nervousness.
"Don't worry."
Riko gave the duo a gentle smile as she pressed 'Answer' and placed the phone to her ear.
Despite her allaying the duo's nervousness, Riko's heart was pounding. She was extrely nervous.
In the unlikely scenario that her dad failed in the negotiations, Mozzie and Kevin's spots in the collective training would be rescinded once the rule was changed. What were they to do?
No, it was not an unlikely scenario but a high likelihood outco. Even if she had consoled herself, she could not help but discern the cruel reality. There was the seven major organization's joint protest, the Hero Association's secret pressure, as well as the objections and discussions of the people. Regardless of how she thought of it, the changing of the rule was reasonably the final outco. By sacrificing Mozzie and Kevin, as well as Gaia's interests, the rest would receive a favorable outco. Why would the senate not do it?
If they lost the nomination for the collective training, Mozzie and Kevin would definitely be hurt, right? When the ti cos, how was she to comfort them and counsel them so as to let them step out of the nadir of negative emotions?
"Hello…"
Riko picked up the call. Her voice sounded stiff. She was 'Violent Girl' as terd by Shi Xiaobai, not so agony aunt!
Riko was nervous and worried. She had already begun considering words of consolation and encouragent that she was not proficient at.
Yama Minamiya's deep and stable voice sounded into her ears.
"The eting is over. The rule will not change. The spots are still the two children's."
It was simple and direct without any foreshadowing. Yama Minamiya had explained the outco of the eting in a narrative tone.
"Ah?"
Riko exclaid. Her first thought was that she had heard wrong before being pleasantly surprised. She hurriedly asked, "Won? We won?"
"Yea, we won."
Yama Minamiya answered calmly. Against countless objections, they had won.
"Hahaha…well done!"
Riko imdiately laughed out loudly. She blinked at the duo sitting beside her and gestured with her fist, indicating that they had clinched victory!
Mozzie and Kevin widened their eyes and were instantly filled with pleasant surprise and disbelief. They were wondering if they were dreaming.
Riko bead and was enjoying an upheaval of emotions. She wheedled Yama Minamiya, "Dad, quickly tell how we won!"
"It was all thanks to Chairman Jiang. He eventually held his ground against all dissent and objected to changing the rule. Hence, the result," answered Yama Minamiya.
"Just that?" asked Riko.
"Just that," answered Yama Minamiya.
Riko was surprised but quickly smiled again. Although it wasn't her father holding his ground against all objections, the outco was already perfect. There was nothing to be disappointed about.
"Not bad. Grandpa Jiang no doubt lives up to his title as Azure Emperor. He's indeed a just hero to have entered the Hero Hall of Fa!"
Riko praised. Suddenly, she recalled Kevin's concerns from before. Hence, she asked in a whisper, "Right, I heard that the boor, Zhang ng, had participated in it. Did he and those unreasonable upper echelons of the various organizations make things difficult for you?"
"No." Yama Minamiya used a simple word as a response. His voice was calm and stable.
"That's good."
Riko imdiately heaved a sigh of relief. It seems Teacher One-Pun did not need to play a role in it.
"Yea, let's do it this way. When Shi Xiaobai cos out, let's hold a celebration. I'm busy. I'll be hanging up," said Yama Minamiya suddenly. While Riko was still in a daze, he had already hung up.
"Doo… Doo… Doo…"
Riko was surprised. Why did he hang up just like that? She still had many questions!
"Strange. Why does it feel like sothing is odd…"
Riko lowered her cell phone and knitted her brows slightly. However, when she turned her head to see the 'exciting' looks on the duo sitting beside her, she imdiately stopped thinking further.
She also bead happily.

Shanghai City, First Hospital, Ergency Ward
The mont Yama Minamiya hung up the phone, he gnashed his teeth and uttered a cry of pain.
An old and experienced orthopedic was treating his kneecaps that had been shattered into pulp. Although he had been given a tiny amount of anesthesia, it was still extrely painful.
To think that Yama Minamiya was able to bear the pain through the phone call. He had feigned such a calm and stable voice.
Even the old doctor could not help but look up to steal a few glances at him.
One-Pun was standing by the side as he sighed. He said, "Couldn't you make the phone call after the treatnt?"
Yama Minamiya ground his teeth and said with a trembling voice, "Those children were waiting anxiously for it…Ah…Ss…"
One-Pun shook his head helplessly as he suddenly said with a serious expression, "Those two children might not be able to keep up with the collective training."
Previously, under Riko's incessant pestering, One-Pun had taken so ti out of his busy schedule to guide Shi Xiaobai, Mu Yuesheng, Kevin, and Mozzie for a short period of ti.
Although it wasn't a long period of ti, One-Pun had a basic level of judgnt of the four.
From his point of view, Wen Hezheng had a good attitude but her natural endownt was too poor.
Kevin was sowhat talented, but he was still greatly inferior to a real genius. Furthermore, he was an arrogant person and biased in his thoughts. Certain thoughts were ridiculous but he did not heed the advice of others. He was the person One-Pun thought the lowest of among the four.
Therefore, although he had accepted Riko's request to appear at the eting, it was only to ensure that Yama Minamiya was fine. He was not concerned with the outco of the eting but he was surprised to find Yama Minamiya working so hard.
From his point of view, even if the spots of the collective training were held by the two children, it was very difficult for the two of them to keep up with the rest. They might very quickly be eliminated or abandoned.
When Yama Minamiya heard that, his expression imdiately turned solemn. He looked at One-Pun and said sternly, "Those two children are completely different from how they were in the past. I believe that the present them will not disappoint anyone!"
One-Pun faltered slightly as he pondered for a mont before saying, "Then it seems I'm the one that has been superficial…"
Yama Minamiya said with a grin, "No, if not for witnessing it with my own eyes, I would never believe that a single trial can result in such a trendous change in the two children. Do not belittle the potential of young people!"
One-Pun nodded and said approvingly, "At least that child, Shi Xiaobai, has completely exceeded my expectations."
"Heh, that child is a rookie of my Annihilation division!"
Yama Minamiya grinned. He looked rather proud when he suddenly thought of sothing. He asked softly, "Speaking of which, One-Pun, do you think that child, Shi Xiaobai will have a chance at reaching the eighth level?"
One-Pun faltered as he fell into a mont of silence. He said, "Back then, I was young and rash. I entered the Nine Revolutions Transcendental Tower at the seventh level of the Psionic Mortal Realm.”
“At the fifth level, I had taken the initiative to search for the Level Lord and ended up being wrecked and was forced to use the exit command. Therefore, I do not have much concept of the difficulty of the seventh level. However, I know very clearly how strong a Level Lord is. They at least have the strength at the mid-stages of the Psionic Might Realm. To defeat them at the Psionic Mortal Realm would require shocking and unprecedented talent!”
“Perhaps only amazing figures like Overlord Ji Feng, Sword Immortal Xu Taibai, Conquest King Chu Tianqi are able to accomplish it. As for Shi Xiaobai being able to conquer eight Level Lords, it proves that he, at the very least, he possesses a shocking talent regardless of how he did it! With such talent, there is a very high possibility of him clearing the seventh level.”
“But the Hero King, a person who history deems as the most likely person to reach the eighth or even ninth level for the first ti, had stopped at the seventh level for so unknown reason. It shows that talent and strength might not be sufficient to clear the seventh level. Therefore…I cannot be sure that Shi Xiaobai would be able to reach the eighth level."
One-Pun gave a thorough analysis but eventually gave a vague answer which supported both possibilities. Yama Minamiya could not help but rolled his eyes as he said in a fuming laugh, "I believe Shi Xiaobai has a hundred percent chance of reaching the eighth level, and even the ninth! Do you dare to make a bet with !?"
One-Pun was surprised. He never expected Yama Minamiya to have such blind confidence in Shi Xiaobai. After a mont of hesitation, he asked, "What do we bet on?"
A 'strange' smile suffused his lips as he said softly, "If Little Shi were to reach the eighth level, you have to…"
