Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

"Oh~~"

"I see."

"I think I understand."

Chi Hong nodded to indicate that he understood and did not ask any further questions. He did not even have the intention of asking about information regarding the Forbidden God.

In reality, he knew perfectly well that the Forbidden God wasn't even on this planet; otherwise, he would have already stormed over there and crushed the Forbidden God into a mess.

"You understand?" Sophia felt her mind was a mess. Although these things obviously had nothing to do with her, out of curiosity, Sophia still asked, "What do you understand?"

Chi Hong and Chi Yi completely ignored her. Chi Yi raised his hand, and the Si King flew onto his arm and then disappeared. After losing the Si King's suppression, the snake staff returned to silence and became dull and lifeless again.

"That's good. So, what exactly do you need this snake staff for?"

"This thing is something special; it has an extremely strong vitality. I was almost turned into a vegetable by it."

"If you're going to touch it, I suggest you be extra careful."

Chi Yi's face showed a lingering fear, an expression so fake that anyone could tell he was faking it at a glance.

"This is nothing to me, and there's more..."

"You're not a beast tamer?" Chi Hong asked Sophia.

"I...I am not, but I am proficient in economics, management and many other things."

"I'm just not a beast tamer, that's all. Putting aside my identity as a beast tamer, I am indeed a very outstanding girl!"

As Sophia spoke, her tone became increasingly hurried, as if she was very bothered by people talking about the fact that she wasn't a beast tamer.

"If he's not a beast tamer..."

Chi Yi looked at Lukel, who was unable to move due to the suppression of Chi Hong's aura, and said with a smile, "Without your own strength, it is difficult to protect your family business."

"After he dies, no one else will let a young girl who isn't a beast tamer become the leader."

"What do you mean by 'after he died'?" Although Luke was being suppressed, he could still hear their conversation. The moment he heard this sentence, his already tense nerves felt like they were about to burst!

Lukel is under immense pressure.

"Chi Hong will help me, right?" Sophia looked at Chi Hong with hopeful eyes. After all, she and Chi Hong were old acquaintances!

"Help you? What's in it for me?"

Chi Hong raised an eyebrow, as if he had finally touched on something that interested him...

"What benefits do you want?"

Sofia also sat up straight again, suddenly becoming very serious.

........

Headquarters of the Chinese Assassins.

This is a very high-end-looking conference room; it could even be described as futuristic.

"This is a transnational operation, and I don't think it's appropriate for us to get involved..."

A man with his eyes closed, fiddling with prayer beads in his hand, spoke.

On the triangular conference table, a video is playing. This video is a holographic projection, and it can be viewed from any angle without being affected.

On the other side, a man dressed in a black suit, wearing black gloves, and with his head completely covered by a black hood, so that not a single inch of skin was exposed, said softly, "I think Ichizo is right. Let the higher-ups of the law enforcement organizations worry about the transnational operations. We won't get involved."

"That's not how it works." A woman's voice came from behind a window. She looked out indifferently, then turned to the people at the conference table and said, "Gentlemen, that thing belongs to our Chinese ancestors."

"I think this incident gives us a chance to take back what is rightfully ours, no matter what it is in our hands."

"Whether it's in the hands of law enforcement organizations or not makes no difference, as long as it's still in China, isn't that right?"

"I think Miss Zhuge has a point." At the conference table, a bald old man scratched his head and said in a deep voice, "We're not fighting for pride, but for the sake of pride. It's our property to begin with, so it's perfectly reasonable to take it back."

From the other side, a lazy voice came out: "Let's vote. You won't get anywhere by arguing like this."

"In short, there are only two options: do it or don't. As usual, the minority obeys the majority, and if his support is needed, no shirking is allowed."

The woman standing by the window laughed upon hearing this and said, "You're the one who's been slacking off the most. What's wrong? It seems Lord Xuanqing... wants to stop slacking off and put in some effort?"

The man raised his head, which had been bowed, and it turned out to be the king.

He yawned widely and said with a smile, "Miss Zhuge, what you say concerns China. Whether it's the substance or the appearance, I should do my part."

"Alright, let's vote then." The bald old man nodded and then initiated the vote.

Ultimately, more than two people voted to "do it," and that was the end of it.

"It's not advisable to send too many people on this trip. I suggest we send only two people. My subordinates are very busy lately and cannot travel."

"I can provide other forms of assistance, but I can't provide manpower."

Miss Zhuge was the first to state her position, proving that she would not send anyone.

"Then I'll go. I'll send someone, an SS-level Beast Tamer, codename Chuan Hai." The man, dressed entirely in black, spoke in a hoarse voice, and immediately dispatched Li Chuan Hai.

"Okay, then I'll..."

The man, who was fiddling with his prayer beads with his eyes closed, was interrupted by the king as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Master Yizang should focus on his health first. It's better if your little nun stays with you. It would be funny if you performed a magic trick to become a demon in an instant after she's gone."

"Then I'll have to go with my colleagues to suppress you, which is too much trouble."

The king waved his hand, looked at Ichizo, and said softly, "I will send my subordinate, the assassin Crimson, to tell the assassin Kawai that we will meet in Great Britain in three days."

"Remember to send me the specific details. I'm leaving now."

After the king finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the door. As soon as the door sensed someone approaching, it opened automatically, and a gust of wind rushed in from inside.

The gust of wind blew in, only making the robes of the group rustle; the papers, cups, and other items on the table remained unmoved.

The king walked to the door and found himself high in the sky, with clouds visible below.

The assassins' headquarters was located high in the sky!

The king leaped down, and with a dragon's roar, the Devouring Dragon carried him away into the clouds...

As you can see, the headquarters of the assassins is an enormous flying fortress, a behemoth that humanity cannot currently develop!
