Chapter 185 Distant Relatives
"Speaking of the Sinnoh champion, he is obviously not very old, but his strength is really terrifying." Wu Neng exclaimed in admiration. He has seen the battle videos of the Sinnoh champion Takeran. She relied entirely on her own brute force to win, crushing her all the way. Even the Four Heavenly Kings did not cause much burden to Takeran.
"He is a genius, but the pressure on King Adu is very great. After all, according to the tradition of our Quartz Alliance, King Adu should be the one who is closest to the responsibility of being a champion." Sakaki showed a meaningful expression on his face.
From the perspective of Team Rocket, it feels great that the Four Heavenly Kings of the Quartz League are bullied by a little girl, which can suppress the prestige of the league for a while. But from Sakaki's perspective, he is still very unhappy. After all, this is the Quartz League, Sakaki's home. As a result, he is now facing the armed suppression of a girl, and may even be unable to win. This is very embarrassing.
Sakaki can only hope that the Dream Gene Project can succeed as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very troublesome. The Quartz Alliance needs a strong leader to change all this.
"Genius?" Heath's expression was a little strange. Sirona was indeed a genius, but there should also be a genius in the Galar region who is about to embark on his own road to becoming a champion. It is true that every generation has talented people.
However, Heath didn't care too much. Neither Sirona nor Dandi had anything to do with Heath. Heath was just an ordinary food truck owner. He was only responsible for entertaining the guests' appetites.
After dinner, Mr. Sakaki left with Miss Nancy and Mr. Takeno. However, looking at Mr. Sakaki's appearance, Heath felt that as long as Sakaki had not returned to Evergreen City, he would probably come to bother him, so Heath was still quite happy.
I just don't know what Miss Nazi was planning to do when she suddenly came here just now. Heath saw that Nazi's expression didn't seem very good, and he didn't know if someone had offended her.
"That man is so pitiful. Miss Nazi is very powerful." Heath silently lit a candle for that man in his heart, and then continued to entertain the guests who came one after another.
It might be because Director Fox sent a clarification video to Heath which brought in some traffic, or it might be because others saw the three gym leaders from the Quartz Alliance eating here. Anyway, Heath’s business at noon was particularly good, so good that Heath was so busy that he wished he had three heads and six arms.
"Are you... Heath?" A strange voice. Heath was stunned for a moment, then looked up and saw a person who looked familiar, but also strange.
"Who are you?" Heath was sure that he had never seen this person before, but this woman always gave Heath a familiar feeling.
"I'm your Aunt Shiloh." The middle-aged woman who called herself Aunt Shiloh looked at Heath with a smile, a kind look on her face, which made Heath a little confused.
But soon after, Heath found the woman's name in a notebook he had seen before. It was a notebook written by his predecessor Heath, which recorded a child's daily life and some small emotions.
Among them was the information about Aunt Shiloh, but the handwriting inside made Heath not have a good impression of Aunt Shiloh in front of him.
[March 3, Friday, sunny weather, today is my great uncle's funeral, but Aunt Shiloh didn't notify us, but sent a message in the family group on the software, and then my parents knew about it. My father said that although our family is very poor and is looked down upon by Aunt Shiloh, it is normal not to be notified, but I am still very unhappy. My father and mother still want to drag me to go, I really don't understand why. ]
[March 4th, Saturday, it was raining heavily. After attending the funeral yesterday, my parents had a quarrel. When we went over, Aunt Shiloh didn’t even look at us. She was just chatting with those fat ladies in the distance. Mom said that it was because others didn’t like us and she was in a bad mood. Aunt Shiloh is a bad woman.]
The words in these two diaries were very simple, but they made Heath understand the relationship between his predecessor and this woman.
In fact, it is a story about a poor relative who is despised and looked down upon by other relatives. Except for being pulled into a family group to become the so-called "family", they are actually almost like air, because no one will ever pay attention to these marginalized people who are excluded.
The saying that a rich man in remote mountains has distant relatives, while a poor man in a busy city has no one to care about is not just a casual saying. This society is sometimes far more cruel than people think. No wonder the predecessor was so brooding over this matter, and Heath had a relatively deep memory of it.
"Oh, Aunt Shiloh, what's the matter?" Heath looked at the woman in front of him expressionlessly. He remembered that when he traveled through time and attended his parents' funeral in a daze, except for Junsha and others, Heath was the only one there. At that time, Heath thought that he was alone in this world.
"It's okay, auntie just haven't seen our little Heath for a long time, so I'm very happy to meet you. It must have been very hard for you over the years. Your face looks different from before. Oh, I feel aggrieved~" Aunt Shiloh said with a smile.
Heath's mouth twitched. It would be impossible if they were the same. Although he used the identity of this body when he traveled through time, Heath actually discovered that he was himself and had nothing to do with his predecessor. The only relationship was probably that Heath was regarded as his predecessor, so he also inherited the name Heath, which solved the problem of the illegal household registration.
"Then Aunt Shiloh, would you like something to eat?" Looking at Shiloh in front of him, Heath smiled stiffly. He was not a child, and he knew very well that those people who did not attend the funeral suddenly came to visit, basically because they needed his help with something.
This is just like when your junior high or high school classmates who you haven’t contacted for a few years suddenly contact you. They may have gotten married or they may want to borrow money from you.
"Um... Little Heath, Aunt Shiloh wants to try your big purple crab. Where did you buy it? Can you tell Aunt Shiloh about it?" Aunt Shiloh hesitated for a moment before telling the real purpose of her visit.
"My friend gave it to me." Heath answered the question very directly. He wanted the big purple crab after all this time.
"Then who is your friend?" Shiloh had no intention of stopping, but asked again, with a feeling of being relentless.
"Oh, my friend, my friend is from the M78 Nebula, his name is Da Gu." Heath smiled.
Aunt Shiloh was stunned for a moment, a blank expression on her face.
