Diantha was ready to enter the arena. She was eager to see the boy who made Cynthia blush and to witness his "special" Gardevoir.
However, half an hour passed, and there was still no announcement. It seemed Li Yuan was delayed again.
The live stream audience grew impatient. The officials had to play highlight reels to stall for time.
If Diantha hadn't been invited by Cynthia, she would have suspected the Chinese officials were disrespecting her.
Whatever. Wait a bit longer. Probably Cynthia's little lover causing trouble again. Cleaning up after this couple is annoying.
Diantha wasn't wrong. Li Yuan was causing trouble.
Half an hour ago, Li Yuan was still in the pile of women, pounding Caitlin loudly. The player lounge had turned into a party zone, and the women were begging for mercy.
Until a mature, charming figure pushed open the lounge door and walked in with a teasing smile. Li Yuan's enjoyment paused slightly.
"Mom, why are you here?" Li Yuan didn't hide his messy state, greeting his mother in surprise.
Yes, this beautiful, youthful woman was his biological mother—the biggest backer of his wrongdoings in this jurisdiction.
"If I didn't come, were you planning to soak in women forever and never visit your mother?" Mother Li narrowed her eyes, looking at her son unkindly.
What mother wouldn't be annoyed seeing her son with other women all day? Am I not a woman? Is it hard to visit and take care of your mother occasionally?
"Isn't it because of college? No time?" Li Yuan looked at the ceiling guiltily.
As an official, his mother's eyes could pierce hearts. Nothing escaped her.
"Hehe. You think I didn't contact Principal Lorelei? Have you been to school more than twice this semester? The only time was registration, right?" Mother Li pouted. She knew everything happening in her jurisdiction, especially concerning her son. She knew exactly when and how many women he slept with!
"Uh, leaving that aside... Mom, you aren't here for small talk, right?" Li Yuan changed the subject awkwardly.
"What do you think? Did you forget you have an exhibition match? Mom can't stall forever. Finish up and get on stage." Mother Li sat beside her son. Seeing him entangled with the harem, her eyes showed no disgust. Instead, she seemed used to it, even petting Dawn's head like a cute daughter-in-law.
These were her good daughters-in-law. Why would she be disgusted by the cream puffs on them? That would mean being disgusted by her son's cream puffs!
Joking? This is the foundation for spreading the Li family's branches. I treasure it.
But it's been so long, and no one is pregnant yet. A bit slow. I need to urge them.
"Did you arrange the exhibition match too?" Li Yuan sighed.
"Go quickly. Your fame benefits Mom too. Expanding my jurisdiction benefits you in the end, right?" Mother Li urged.
Besides her son, she loved power. She gave everything to her son; shouldn't he pave the way for her now?
"Okay, okay. I'm going. By the way, where is Oleana? Why isn't she with you?" Li Yuan asked curiously.
Oleana (from Galar, Rose's secretary in the anime) was a high-end talent his mother scouted years ago. Loyal, with strong business sense and research skills (she invented the Dynamax Band), she became his mother's secretary. Naturally, she had "deep exchanges" with Li Yuan too.
If she wasn't so busy, Li Yuan would have claimed her Encyclopedia reward already.
"Who do you think is cleaning up your mess? She's stalling for you." Mother Li said flatly.
"I see. I wanted to give her a Silver Crest. Mom, can you copy one for her?" Li Yuan handed a Crest to his mother and explained its usage.
"Okay. Mom will pass it to her. Go do your business." Mother Li was delighted by the Crest's function.
She worried her son couldn't manage so many women. With this treasure, their happiness was guaranteed!
"Son goes first then. Mom, get to know your daughters-in-law~." Li Yuan pulled out of the limp Caitlin, dressed leisurely, and left the scattered bodies to enter the arena.
"Perform well. Ideally, take Diantha down too. Having another Champion backing you is beneficial." Mother Li's worried voice came from behind.
Li Yuan nodded. No woman escapes my hands.
Mother Li messaged Oleana to stop stalling and arrange Diantha's entry, then come back to get a Crest copy.
The Crest wasn't just for pleasure; the locking function was more useful. Locked women wouldn't betray her.
In the future, she could invite beautiful female officials and CEOs over, get them into bed, and force the Crest on them.
Then the political and business worlds would be hers. No need to worry about power anymore.
Having a capable son is wonderful~.
