Chapter 252: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [252]
Though inwardly speculating, Malva maintained the composure befitting an Elite Four member and greeted Luo Yuan with a polite smile.
"Elite Four Malva, are you here in Lampurchi for a vacation?" Luo Yuan's face showed just the right amount of surprise.
If someone were scoring his performance right now, Luo Yuan figured he'd earn at least a nine out of ten.
"Yes..." Malva nodded.
Her excuse for leaving Indigo Plateau had been to tour various parts of Kanto, conveniently explaining her presence in Lampurchi.
"But Mr. Luo Yuan, aren't you participating in the Indigo Conference? How do you have the time to come here?"
A flicker of doubt crossed Malva's expression.
If she remembered correctly, the Indigo Conference was at a critical stage.
For Luo Yuan to be away from Indigo Plateau and show up in Lampurchi seemed far more suspicious than her presence here—especially at this moment.
She had only been in Lampurchi for two days, and Luo Yuan had followed so quickly, triggering her sensitive instincts.
Malva couldn't help but wonder if the Kanto League had discovered something and sent Luo Yuan—someone who had interacted with her before—to investigate.
