Chapter 1159: Chapter 1131 The End, You Owe a Return (Thanks for the reward and more from Nong You Chi Jiang and Shi Bi) Chapter 1159: Chapter 1131 The End, You Owe a Return (Thanks for the reward and more from Nong You Chi Jiang and Shi Bi) Kiara had just learned that Arlong had actually obtained the opportunity to co to Yuno Group Headquarters for training, and her first reaction was to ask Mario Yuno if he had pulled any strings for his Uncle.
What on earth had Arlong done to earn himself a place in the training?
Yuno Group holds one or two talent selection opportunities each year, choosing the best of the best from its branches to co for training. Although those who managed to secure a spot in the training were the elite of the elite, only a handful of them were able to stay on, while the rest were sent back to the Old Unit.
Arlong wasn’t yet considered part of headquarters, he had just qualified for training, which in itself was enough to surprise Kiara.
How had that Extravagant, who’d pant after climbing just a few flights of stairs and was useless at everything except eating—never having enough—gotten the chance to train, all in just a few months? So now that she knew her brother had arrived, Kiara beat around the bush to inquire about his situation.
“Arlong, well, how should I put it… His performance was fairly stable,” Mario Yuno said, choosing his words as gently as possible.
“Tell the truth!”
“diocre. When those guys were discussing, he just stood on the side, didn’t remind them of anything, nor did he speak up himself.”
Mario Yuno felt the changes in his son, who had been digging in the grassroots for several months. The boy’s character had changed a lot, certainly more composed than before, but there was still a considerable gap from what Kiara and Mario Yuno expected of him.
“So give it to straight, what are this kid’s chances of staying after this training session?”
Kiara didn’t believe that Draco Clark could transform so drastically.
“Do you want him to stay, or not?” Mario Yuno countered.
“Who knows? It all depends on his own abilities. Just make sure you’re fair and impartial, treat him like a stranger. Don’t be too nice or too harsh with him.”
Kiara’s words seed ambiguous, ostensibly asking Mario Yuno to remain fair, but it seed like there was more to what she was saying.
Mario Yuno simply smiled and didn’t respond. He could actually tell that his daughter-in-law didn’t really want Arlong to stay, probably because she was worried that Arlong would cause trouble.
“Daughter-in-law, and you know what? I really did give the kid a green light, I gave him a tiny bit of privilege.”
“What?!” Kiara glared at him, ready to skewer him with a King Crab claw that had fallen off.
Mario Yuno quickly raised his hands in surrender.
“Just for today! It’s not really a privilege. Newcors get half a day of free ti when they arrive, don’t they? I let him co to our ho for dinner. Rest assured, after today, he’ll be in closed training for a month, and I definitely won’t give him any more green lights!”
After hearing this, Kiara’s face blood with joy, though she verbally complained, her expression was clearly cheerful.
“This kid’s coming to eat? Then just freeze the Crabs and give him so cabbage to eat.”
“If you don’t go out and let have the kitchen, then you and your sister will really only have cabbage to eat later!” Mario Yuno shooed Kiara out of the kitchen with feigned indignation; his daughter-in-law was a genius at blowing up the kitchen with a single wrong move, so he couldn’t afford to let this dangerous person help.
After Kiara stepped out of the kitchen, she did a quick clean-up of the house, realizing she hadn’t seen her brother for months and was starting to miss him. She wondered what Arlong had turned into?
Kiara imagined what her Extravagant brother would look like, but when Arlong knocked on her door carrying a big bag full of Fruits, Kiara was still shocked.
“Sis!” Arlong put down the gift he brought and embraced Kiara as soon as he got there.
Originally tall and plump, the child had slimd down a great deal after several months of training. He had also beco noticeably more robust. His slimr contours made him look delicate and handso, bearing so resemblance to Kiara’s mother.
“You little rascal, let down this instant!” Kiara laughed and joked with him.
Arlong didn’t let go, hugging Kiara and bragging, “Sis, look how strong I am now, I can even lift you!”
Doing physical labor at the grassroots level every day, wielding a shovel and digging the earth, if nothing else, he had certainly built up his strength, which he proudly demonstrated to Kiara upon his arrival.
“Arlong is here!” Edward Wheeler, wearing an apron, ca out with a spatula still in his hand.
“Brother-in-law, hello!” Arlong imdiately stood at attention. He now understood just how impressive his brother-in-law was.
Kiara wasn’t sure if it was his leaner figure or just that it had been too long since they’d seen each other, but she thought her brother had grown really handso and felt especially happy about it.
This kid looked so much better than the unkempt pseudo-punk fatty he was a few months back. How could she, as his sister, not be happy to see such a transformation?
“It’s alright, no need to be so tense at ho, relax a little,” Edward Wheeler said casually with a wave of his hand, signaling Arlong to loosen up.
Arlong chuckled, “Brother-in-law, I’m kind of not used to you like this.”
Today, he had truly witnessed his brother-in-law’s awe-inspiring presence, and seeing him so dosticated at ho was sowhat jarring for him.
Along the way, he had only heard all sorts of legendary tales about his brother-in-law, which were recounted so spectacularly that Arlong felt a cool thrill in his heart.
“What’s there to get used to? You’ve got to act like you’re at ho when you’re at ho. Go wash your hands and have a chat with your sister. The al will be ready in a bit,” Edward Wheeler, easy-going and smiling, invited Arlong to make himself comfortable.
“You didn’t have to bring anything, why did you buy these?” Kiara pointed to the bags on the ground.
The rascal hadn’t wasted his training. In the past, he wouldn’t have understood these gestures, arriving for a al without bringing sothing would have been considered light. How could he ever have thought of buying sothing?
The value of the items was not important, what mattered was the sentint behind them.
“Heh, I didn’t buy much of anything special, just so mountain delicacies I brought from the mountain village – all purchased from the villagers, stuff you can’t get on the outside. Look, sis, here are mushrooms, cured at, dried green beans, and these, I bought them from the fruit store downstairs.”
Arlong brought the items out one by one. Kiara was visibly delighted, but she pretended to complain.
“I finally lived to see this day, it wasn’t easy. After subsidizing you for so many years, I finally see so payback.”
After she finished, both siblings laughed. Arlong, feeling a little embarrassed, scratched his head, recalling how he used to pester his sister for pocket money when he was younger.
He had no idea that back then, Rico Clark favored boys over girls and didn’t give his daughter as much allowance as his son – Kiara got less than half of what Arlong received. Sotis, Kiara’s mother couldn’t bear it and would covertly give her daughter so extra, while Kiara, saving and scrimping herself, was reluctant to even indulge in snacks and would instead give it to her extravagant brother.
Now that her brother had grown up, he used his allowance to buy his sister gifts. Although not expensive, it brought joy to her heart.
“What’s this?”
Kiara pulled a box out of the bag, and Arlong’s expression beca much more serious.
“Sis, can you keep this for , please? You can give it back to once I finish my training and have my own dormitory room.”
