Some "Milky" Women Are Dangerous
Just as Avrora predicted, the news spread to Donghuang before noon.
For now, only high-ranking officials knew—
Including Victor Stone.
But within half a day?
The entire alliance would know.
One hundred million.
That number alone was enough to make even seasoned Trainers restless.
Father and Son
"You're going?" Victor asked calmly.
Ethan didn't hide anything.
"I'm going."
"But sneaking over quietly feels… inappropriate."
Victor raised a brow.
"Oh?"
Ethan grinned.
"High-profile entrance."
Donghuang's Move
Victor relayed the idea to Zuo Shenghui.
Zuo laughed heartily.
"Low profile as a person. High profile in action."
"Let him go."
"We'll cooperate."
And so—
Within one hour—
Donghuang National Broadcasting released a "news report."
The Broadcast
"According to our sources, the Divine Eagle Alliance has lost a super-rare Pokémon.
A bounty of 100 million has been issued.
Despite full mobilization, Divine Eagle trainers have yet to capture it.
The reason remains unclear. It may be that the Pokémon is extremely powerful—
though other possibilities cannot be ruled out.
Young Donghuang prodigy Ethan Stone has already departed for Divine Eagle territory.
According to Ethan, the Pokémon does not appear particularly strong…"
The internet exploded.
Donghuang viewers:
"This is linguistic warfare.""They called them incompetent without saying incompetent.""The pause between sentences was pure artistry."
When the clip spread globally—
Divine Eagle citizens were not amused.
Furniture sales spiked.
Tea cups shattered nationwide.
Embarrassment, exported internationally.
Arrival in Divine Eagle
Ethan stepped onto foreign soil openly.
No disguise.
No secrecy.
"System," he muttered, "coordinates?"
Nothing.
No location ping.
He frowned.
So I have to gather intel manually.
The Bar
It was night here.
Neon lights.
Heavy bass music.
The bar was packed.
Nearly every table had Trainers carrying Poké Balls.
Clearly—
He wasn't the only bounty hunter.
He ordered a beer and took a seat.
Within seconds—
A woman slid next to him.
"Well hello, handsome. Alone?"
"Waiting for someone beautiful," Ethan replied smoothly. "Is that you?"
She laughed.
He assessed quickly.
Attractive enough.
But there was something off.
A faint artificial scent—
Sweet. Creamy.
Milky.
Dangerous type.
Still—
Intel came first.
"You're here for the bounty too, right?" she asked.
"Of course. Without money, how could I afford dates with someone like you?"
He put on a flirtatious smile and wrapped an arm around her.
Professional.
Detached.
She leaned closer.
"I know something."
"But you'll have to stay with me tonight."
Ethan suppressed a grimace.
Less than twenty.
Flirting with a woman well into her thirties.
For intelligence.
This was sacrifice.
"How do I know your info's real?"
She smirked.
"We'll talk somewhere private."
After the Deal
He got what he needed.
Location confirmed:
Inner Val Range.
A remote mountain region.
The escaped Pokémon had been sighted there.
The moment he had the intel—
He left.
No lingering.
No emotional involvement.
Mission first.
