Chapter 674: Slapping
"Old man, you can\'t apologize for her forever," Yuga\'s attitude remained very cold, and he didn\'t change it despite the old man\'s sincere apology.
Many people were present in the venue, and quite a few had noticed the situation with Yuga\'s group. Yuga\'s attitude toward the old man quickly became a topic of discussion among those unfamiliar with the situation. Yuga overheard some of it, but he didn\'t care.
However, some of the onlookers recognized Yuga\'s identity. Although they felt that Yuga\'s attitude was unfriendly, they didn\'t dare to accuse him of anything. Nobody wanted to offend a League Gym Leader for no reason.
"What kind of person do you think you are? My grandpa has already bowed down to you, and you\'re still acting arrogant!" The girl couldn\'t hold back any longer. Ignoring the stern gaze of the attractive woman, she criticized Yuga.
Upon hearing his granddaughter\'s voice, the old man\'s gaze turned cold for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.
"Gym Leader Shimizu makes a valid point," he said, ignoring his granddaughter as if he hadn\'t heard anything.
Yuga\'s previous lack of courtesy hadn\'t made the old man appear embarrassed or uncomfortable in the slightest.
"Yuki, come over and apologize to Gym Leader Shimizu," the old man turned and smiled at his granddaughter.
"I won\'t, Grandpa! Who does he think he is? Why should I apologize to him?" The girl, named Yuki, had a very unpleasant expression on her face, filled with complaints.
"Yuki, come quickly!" Finally, the attractive woman spoke up, her voice icy. Yuki involuntarily shuddered.
"I\'m... I\'m sorry," Yuki gritted her teeth and uttered those words, no longer defying the attractive woman\'s wishes.
Yuga didn\'t speak or even look at her. He had no interest in whether someone like Yuki apologized or not. He wanted to keep his distance from such individuals, and her apology held no meaning for him.
Seeing Yuga\'s attitude, the old man narrowed his eyes slightly but maintained his smile. He waved his hand, signaling for Yuki to step back, and then addressed Yuga again.
"Gym Leader Shimizu, are you here to participate in the Incense Bidding as well? It seems we\'ll be competitors. Oh, by the way, this is my eldest granddaughter, Miyuki, who is the incense maker participating in this bidding."
An incense maker is the exclusive title for incense producers.
"Hello, Gym Leader Shimizu, I\'ve heard of your name for a long time," Miyuki, the attractive woman, said with a sweet smile when her grandfather mentioned her.
Yuga glanced at her. She was indeed a rare beauty, but he could tell she wasn\'t to be underestimated.
The old man was about to say something else but was interrupted by Yuga.
"If there\'s nothing else, old man, I\'ll be on my way. I have other matters to attend to."
Yuga was growing impatient with the insincere pleasantries.
The old man smiled and said, "Gym Leader Shimizu, please go ahead with your business. You needn\'t worry about us."
Yuga nodded and whispered to his accompanying Gardevoir, "Stay here with Lain."
Although Gardevoir was reluctant, it agreed to Yuga\'s request. Yuga arranged this because he was concerned that these people might have ulterior motives.
While not personally involved, Lain wasn\'t comfortable being around them either.
At this moment, the old man turned his gaze to Gardevoir, who had been talking to Yuga.
Having lived for so many years, the old man still had sharp eyes. The seemingly ordinary Gardevoir before him was definitely not simple. Despite Yuga being publicly recognized as a Gym Leader, apart from those like Steven and Solidad who had close contact with him, no one knew which Pokémon Yuga relied on to reach the Elite level Trainer.
Now, the old man was highly suspicious that it might be the Gardevoir before him. However, his granddaughter, Yuki, had set her sights on this Gardevoir. This situation wasn\'t easy to handle.
Upon seeing Yuga and his group leave, the old man shook his head and calmly said to those around him, "Let\'s go."
After leaving the incense area, Yuga took Misaki to the Pokéblock section. However, as he was preparing to head to the held item area, he suddenly felt the need to use the restroom, so he asked Anya to wait for him nearby.
When he came out of the restroom and passed by a corner, he suddenly heard a "smack." What was that? Someone was slapping someone else here!
Yuga couldn\'t resist and stopped in his tracks. "Sis! You slapped me!" Another sound of a slap followed. "Sis!" And another one. This was the sound of someone named Yuki slapping someone. Yuga thought to himself.
"Do you understand what you did wrong?" This time, it was the voice of the beautiful woman, Miyuki.
Faced with her sister\'s question, Yuki remained silent and didn\'t speak up. Yuga, hiding in the corner, couldn\'t see their expressions.
Is it bad to eavesdrop like this? But if I step out now, won\'t it be awkward? Yuga wondered. However, the sound of those slaps was oddly satisfying.
But wait, were these two sisters really related? They were slapping each other without hesitation.
"Speak!" Miyuki sternly demanded.
"I... I shouldn\'t have... shouldn\'t have treated that person that way... I shouldn\'t have refused to apologize... I shouldn\'t have caused trouble at home," Yuki said with a trembling voice, struggling to hold back her tears.
"Smack!" Yuga heard the sound of another slap, and his face felt hot and stinging.
"Wrong! That\'s not the most important thing!" Miyuki\'s voice grew even colder.
"That... that is..." Yuki stammered, unable to explain herself, and fell into silence again.
"You\'re really so foolish!" Miyuki\'s icy voice echoed.
"Your biggest mistake was not listening to me, not obeying me, do you understand?" Oh my, Yuga was surprised!
So this woman had this kind of personality. She had such a strong desire to control her younger sister, and it wasn\'t evident at all.
Then Yuga heard Yuki sobbing intermittently.
"Do you understand? You\'re so foolish that you should listen to everything I say. Whatever I ask you to do, you should do it, understand?" Miyuki\'s tone now held a warning.
"Yeah... I understand..." Yuki\'s voice sounded as weak as a mosquito.
"That\'s right. You should only listen to everything I say. Only then can you continue to live the life you want and continue to do whatever you please."
This time, Miyuki\'s tone changed, gentle and loving, like a truly caring older sister.
Once these two sisters left, Yuga finally stepped out. These two sisters are really something! Yuga couldn\'t help but sigh.
The younger sister was unruly, unreasonable, and seemed to lack common sense, while the older sister appeared gentle and beautiful on the outside but was quite cunning and ruthless in private. She had an extremely strong desire to control her younger sister.
Women, oh women! You can\'t mess with them, you really can\'t!
