Chapter 31. The Visitor Behind You

Outside the Jiusheng store, in a shadow at the corner.

A yellow-haired man in his twenties, dressed in black, threw the cigarette butt in his hand to the ground.

"Brother Tiger, this guy finally came out!"

Behind the yellow-haired man was a young man in his twenties also dressed in black. The difference was that this man's hair was dyed red. He was also Brother Tiger in the yellow-haired man's mouth.

"Oh, he came out?"

The red-haired man turned off his mobile phone and walked forward quickly.

He slapped the back of the yellow-haired man's head hard: "Come out and follow him quickly! Don't look to me, your big brother, for everything. If you're like this, don't say you've been with me, Brother Tiger, in the future. I can't afford to lose this face!"

The yellow-haired man was slapped by Brother Tiger and almost lost his balance. He rubbed the back of his head hard, but there was no anger on his face.

"Yes, that's what Brother Tiger is teaching me. I'll follow him right away."

Brother Tiger patted the yellow-haired man on the head again: "Hurry up, or else the man will disappear!"

"Now let's go, now let's go."

The yellow-haired man walked in front and turned back to ask: "Brother Tiger, are you really sure that man is a fat sheep?"

Brother Tiger looked proud: "Of course, who am I, Brother Tiger? I've been struggling in the black market of River Town since I was a kid! What kind of people have I not seen? I tell you, Brother Tiger, I'm not bragging, as long as someone passes by me, I can tell who they are at a glance."

The yellow-haired man said flatteringly: "Then Brother Tiger, can you teach me a few tricks? Just tell me about the man in front, how did you know he was a fat sheep?"

Brother Tiger smiled: "Alright, Brother Tiger will teach you a few tricks today so people won't say that Brother Tiger doesn't know how to lead his younger brother."

"Listen up, Brother Tiger will tell you something. First of all, when this guy came, I knew it was his first time coming to our river Town..."

The yellow-haired man interrupted: "Brother Tiger, why didn't I see that?"

Brother Tiger kicked the yellow-haired man's butt: "You are so disrespectful, how dare you interrupt your Brother Tiger?!"

"Brother Tiger, I was wrong, I was wrong, please stop kicking!"

The yellow-haired man admitted his mistake and quickly took a few steps away from Brother Tiger.

Brother Tiger didn't kick him and almost stumbled to the ground. Fortunately, his balance, honed over years of running, saved him.

"You still dare to run! Come here!"

The yellow-haired man kept apologizing with a smile: "Brother Tiger, don't, let's catch up quickly, otherwise that person will go too far!"

Brother Tiger looked at the target and found that they had indeed fallen behind.

"Why don't you catch up!"

...

Cyan was walking on the way back, while constantly watching everything around him.

Soon, he found that there were two people following him. He tried to change direction, but the two still followed behind.

"It looks like they want to attack me!"

Cyan frowned under his hood.

Although he had long known that the black market was a mixed bag and that many people wanted to kill others to make money, he still felt uncomfortable encountering such a thing on his first visit.

Soon, he saw the part where Brother Tiger kicked the yellow-haired man.

"What's wrong with these two people? Didn't they want to rob me? Why are they fighting among themselves?"

Cyan didn't understand.

"No matter if you two want to do something bad to me or not, since you have chosen to attack me, I will not sit still and wait for death!"

Cyan kept thinking about countermeasures in his mind. His strength wasn't high. He only had a primary-level Butterfree, and it was hard to say if he could beat the two behind him.

...

"Brother Tiger, that kid went to the black market, just like you said!"

The yellow-haired man had an admiring expression on his face.

"Heh, who am I, Brother Tiger? When have I ever been wrong?"

"Brother Tiger, tell me again, how did you figure it out?"

"Alright, Brother Tiger is in a good mood today, so I'll teach you a few things. You see the man in front is wearing a hood. Although you can't see his face, you can't hide his height. He's at most about fifteen years old, and I listened carefully in live saving shop just now. Although the kid deliberately spoke in a hoarse voice, I still heard the immaturity in his voice, so I judged that this kid must be a teenager!"

"But Brother Tiger, I just heard that guy say the Pokémon he was selling were elite-level Pokémon. What if he really is a hidden master? Wouldn't we be walking into a trap?"

Brother Tiger patted the yellow-haired man on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I've seen a lot of things like this, and I've never made a wrong judgment. As for the elite-level Pokémon, nine out of ten times, that guy met a trainer who died in the wild and stole them. This kind of thing happens all the time. I, Brother Tiger, have encountered it too. It's nothing strange."

The yellow-haired man said admiringly, "Brother Tiger, you've got such good luck. It's really enviable!"

Brother Tiger waved his hands, indicating these were just small matters, but what he was thinking inside was: Oh my goodness, I've acted so arrogantly this time, I hope I don't get exposed!

...

After Cyan left the black market, he headed straight into the nearby woods.

"Butterfree, you hide in the tree. If the two people behind catch up, quietly sprinkle stun spore and sleep powder from the tree. Understand?"

Butterfree nodded vigorously: "Mmm!" Then it flew towards the tree.

Living in the Gray Feather Mountains for many years, it wasn't difficult for it to hide its body at night.

...

"Brother Tiger, look, that guy ran into the woods?" The yellow-haired man pointed forward with his right hand, then turned his head to speak to Brother Tiger.

"It seems the kid has some anti-reconnaissance awareness, knowing to hide in the woods," Brother Tiger said confidently while praising Cyan's actions: "If it were anyone else, I'm afraid they would really let him escape, but who am I, Brother Tiger? I know this terrain too well! Thinking you can hide in the woods is so naive!"

The yellow-haired man gave a thumbs up: "Brother Tiger, you're still the best!"

Brother Tiger ordered: "Chase!"

...

"These two won't give up so easily. They're really going to chase me into the woods!"

Cyan didn't move forward after entering the woods but hid in a bush not far from where Butterfree was hiding.

...

"Brother Tiger, do we really want to go in? I heard the woods are the most dangerous at night. Maybe we should give up?"

The yellow-haired man was hesitant, looking at the dark woods, feeling as if it were a bottomless pit ready to swallow whoever entered.

Brother Tiger got angry when he heard it and kicked the yellow-haired man's butt again: "It's already this far, and you still want to back down! You go in."

The yellow-haired man staggered into the woods: "Brother Tiger, why do you always kick me?"

"I kick you because you're a coward!" Brother Tiger said as he entered: "What's there to be afraid of? Just learn from your Brother Tiger!"

Cyan, who was crouching nearby, watched the conversation and behavior of the two people, and one word came to mind:

Stupid!
