Chapter 615 Granny Long's Matchmaking Ideas
"You know Daigo?!"
As soon as Li Luochen spoke, Xijiana and Granny Long exclaimed in surprise almost simultaneously.
Higana's eyes widened, and her mouth opened into a small circle, her expression as if she had heard something unbelievable.
Although Granny Long was much more composed, a rare look of surprise flashed across her cloudy old eyes, and her cane swayed slightly.
Over the years, she tried sending messages through intermediaries, sending a formal invitation to the Devon Corporation as an elder of the Meteor Clan, and even considered bartering with ancient relics treasured by Meteor Falls.
But every attempt was in vain, and he never even saw Daigo Zuvoki himself.
Devon Corporation's control over meteorites is almost inhumanly strict; they are their core strategic resource and are never sold to outsiders.
She was almost ready to give up on this path.
As it turns out, Li Luochen said he knew Daigo?!
Granny Long raised her eyes and re-examined the young face in front of her.
Having lived to this age and seen countless people, she could tell that he wasn't exaggerating or trying to comfort them.
The tone was too casual, as if he were mentioning an old friend he had just contacted not long ago.
Granny Long pondered for a moment, her fingers tightening slightly as she gripped her cane. Her worldly eyes were fixed on Li Luochen, and after a long pause, she finally spoke: "Is... this true?"
She didn't mean to question it, but the matter was so significant that she dared not easily believe it.
The Meteor Clan had bumped into that insurmountable obstacle, Devon Corporation, countless times, each time ending up battered and bruised. Now, suddenly someone was telling her that the door was right there, which made her hesitant to push it open.
Li Luochen took a cell phone out of his pocket and casually handed it over: "Daigo's call."
Granny Long blurted out instinctively, "I didn't..."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Luochen had already handed the phone forward again, his tone calm but leaving no room for refusal: "I'm letting you answer it."
Granny Long was stunned.
She looked down and saw a contact name displayed on the small, glowing screen: Daigo!
It wasn't some "President Zvoich" or "Devin Company Representative Office," it was just the simple name "Daigo."
Just like Daigo to Li Luochen, he wasn't some chaebol heir who controlled the entire economic lifeline of Hoenn, but rather an old friend who was always there when needed...
That's outrageous!
Grandma Long, having lived to this age, felt for the first time that her experience was somewhat insufficient.
This is the rarest stone on the planet, a strategic resource that the Devon Corporation guards tightly and never lets slip out. Countless forces have tried their best but failed to pry open a single crack in its defenses.
As a result, the young man dialed the boss's private number and handed the phone to her.
Grandma Long took a deep breath, and her calloused hands stiffly accepted the phone.
A young man's voice came from the other end of the phone, his tone polite: "Hello, are you the Granny Long that Luo Chen just mentioned in his message?"
Grandma Long's hand holding the phone trembled slightly.
Over the years, she has tried countless ways to connect with Devon, but each time she has been turned down, and she has long been used to the silence of her efforts going unanswered.
At that moment, Daigo Zubuchi's voice came out of the phone so suddenly that he didn't know how to respond.
"Phew!"
Grandma Long took a deep breath, suppressing all the emotions surging in her heart.
The meteorite crisis is imminent; this is not the time for astonishment.
"Mr. Daigo Zvuki."
Granny Long held her phone, her aged voice neither humble nor arrogant: "I am the gatekeeper of the Meteor People. I am contacting you now to inquire about the meteorite."
The person on the other end of the phone listened quietly.
"A thousand years ago, when Liekong destroyed a meteorite from outer space, the Emperor's organs were damaged, and he is now unable to evolve on his own."
"A new meteorite crisis is imminent. If Rayquaza is to soar through the heavens once more, it must use the energy within the meteorite to heal its old wounds."
"I know that meteorites are your company's core resource and are never leaked. But the survival of the Hoenn lands depends on these stones. I hope Mr. Daigo Kishi will be accommodating."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone.
When Daigo's voice rang out again, it was still gentle and polite, but with a touch more businesslike frankness.
"Grandma Long, to be honest, if it were only the Meteor People who came forward, I don't think you would be able to control the energy within the meteorite."
"This is a strategic resource; if used improperly, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Daigo paused slightly, as if considering his words, then his tone shifted, becoming more humane, "However, since it was my brother Li Luochen who asked, I'll give him that face."
"This meteorite is my personal tribute to the Meteor People for protecting Hoenn for a thousand years."
"A dedicated person will contact you later to discuss the specific handover details."
The call ended, and the screen went dark.
Grandma Long was still holding that phone.
Is that all?
She tried for so many years, asked so many people, and wrote so many letters that never came to fruition.
As it turned out, Li Luochen simply handed over a cell phone, and within minutes, he had the meteorite in his hands.
Grandma Long looked down at her phone, then looked up at the young man in front of her who looked perfectly normal, and for a moment she didn’t know how to react.
"Cousin, you're amazing!"
Xijiana clasped her hands together, her eyes shining like they were studded with starlight, and she was practically radiating adoration.
In all her years, she had never seen anyone solve a problem that had plagued the Meteor People for hundreds of years with just one phone call.
That's Steven Stone, the heir to the Devon Corporation, the most sought-after stone collector in the Hoenn region, a figure that even the clan elders can only shake their heads and sigh at!
For my cousin, it was just a matter of a message or a phone call!
Sure enough, her cousin is the chosen one!
She used to think that the legends about the "chosen one" in her clan were somewhat exaggerated, but now, looking at Li Luochen's profile, she suddenly felt that the legends were not entirely without reason.
Granny Long took in the expressions of the two young people.
Having lived to this age, what storms haven't she weathered, what coldness and warmth of human relationships haven't she experienced?
How could Xijiana's little schemes possibly escape the notice of her worldly-wise eyes?
Granny Long coughed lightly, took half a step forward with her cane, her gaze sweeping back and forth between Xijiana and Li Luochen, and a meaningful smile slowly appeared on her lips.
This young man is exceptionally strong, has an extraordinary background, and is deeply entangled in destiny with Rayquaza; this girl is straightforward, has considerable talent, and has been infatuated with Dragon-type Pokémon since childhood.
The two of them standing together actually do look quite well-matched.
If we could bring them together and add another layer of bond to this relationship, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing for the Meteor Clan.
Although Xijiana called him "cousin" affectionately, the Dragon Clan and the Meteor People had been rooted in this meteorite ruin for hundreds of years, and their bloodline had branched out into more than a dozen large and small branches.
The blood relationship between Li Luochen's main branch and Xijiana's lineage was already beyond the fifth degree of kinship.
According to the ancient customs of the Meteor People, there are no taboos regarding ordinary friendships or even marriage.
That old woman of hers could actually give me a push.
