Pokémon, you're not allowed to expel me from human form!

Tsk, these capable guys can be unreasonable sometimes.

He was a little annoyed, and at the same time, he realized that all of his previous plans needed to be overturned.

So he gave his two subordinates a look, then stood up and went to greet Ruozong.

He saw Ruozong, and Ruozong saw them too.

Behind Wakamune, Nibiru watched as Chose walked over with his head down and couldn't help but let out a soft snort.

"Boss, that guy is probably kicking himself when he sees you."

Upon hearing Nibiru's words, Ruozong shook his head slightly.

“Then you’re mistaken. The rat might be surprised, or it might be annoyed, but those emotions will completely disappear in an instant. If it really greets us with an annoyed and regretful look, then it wouldn’t be the shameless Jōse.”

Nibiru only vaguely understood what he was hearing.

Then the two teams met at that moment.

"Oh, isn't this Brother Ruozong? I heard you were invited by the Alliance. I thought to myself, someone as capable as you must have been valued by the big shots in the Alliance. Gold always shines, right?"

"As for what others said about you being caught or something—I never believed it. I argued with them and it even escalated to the point of physical violence!"

There was no smell of gunpowder at all.

When Changshi saw his rival Ruozong, he wore a smile of immense joy, and his tone was very friendly and intimate, as if he were genuinely happy for Ruozong.

Seeing him like this, Nibiru couldn't help but speak up.

"Since you knew that, why did you still target our Z Company?"

"Oh, Nibiru, you don't understand. There are many bad people in this world! I'm afraid that those bad people might have bad ideas after learning about certain things, so I'm doing everything I can to protect your Z Company's assets!"

“Those businesses are all under my control now, and I’ve protected them very well. Now that you’re back, I don’t need to worry anymore. You can return the items to their rightful owners!”

Upon hearing what Nagashi said, Nibiru's eyes widened, and he tried to speak several times but didn't know what to say.

At once...

He now understands a little better why Wakamune said that Nagayo was shameless.

However, Ruozong did not speak from beginning to end, but looked at Changshi with a half-smile, which made Changshi's heart tighten.

Nibiru is nothing to him. He's an "honest man" who won't fight back even if you kneel in front of him and he hits you a couple of times but will only curse you and won't fight back. As long as you don't actually do anything that crosses the line, dealing with him isn't complicated.

But Ruozong... he's not an easy person to deal with!

......

5. Luo Ke: That's right, what are you feeling guilty about!

Just as Nagayo had thought, Wakamune was not easy to deal with at all.

Faced with Nagayoshi's various attempts to befriend him, Wakamune simply smiled, then stared at him without saying a word or making a single move.

Changshi led Ruozong and the others from the airport to the Torch Island Alliance branch. Ruozong only spoke twice along the way.

The first time, they said that the investigation into Company A wasn't urgent today, but would begin tomorrow and would take a month.

The second statement indicated that Z Company's business dealings would not need to be returned, and the reason...

'I have decided to dissolve Company Z.'

Wakamune said this to Nagashi, and then he led Nibiru and the others into the Alliance branch, leaving Nagashi and his men to leave with a heavy heart.

Thinking about this, Wakamune would still chuckle faintly as he dealt with official business that evening.

Because he could imagine that while he was about to have a little drink and go to sleep peacefully, Changshi probably couldn't sleep right now.

"Dissolving Company Z—for me, it's mainly to free up manpower for the Countermeasures Department. After selecting the best people from my original subordinates, I'll distribute the original business among the remaining subordinates, ensuring they have a secure future while also developing manpower for the Countermeasures Department among the general public. I can also take the opportunity to clean up all the bad apples."

"A triple win, this is the end for Company Z."

"But for Nagashi, my sudden decision to refuse what he returned and not respond to his explicit or implicit requests for compensation must be quite frightening."

As he muttered this, a glint of light flashed deep in Ruozong's eyes.

“Chang Shi isn’t the type to care about his reputation, so once he’s worried to the extreme, he’ll definitely come to me directly. He can do whatever he wants, whether it’s pestering me, rolling around on the ground, or even begging at the branch office entrance and refusing to leave.”

"Then we should talk to him about the development of the countermeasures department in Shichishima."

That's right.

Ruozong had thought everything through.

He didn't come to the Seven Islands specifically to seek revenge on Nagayo.

His visits are primarily for the development of the countermeasures department.

If I had to pinpoint a personal motive, it would be to use the cooperation between the Countermeasures Department and Nagayo to limit his petty tricks.

Therefore, Ruozong was able to sleep soundly at this moment.

That's what he thought, until...

"Wakamune, I have something to tell you."

Just before he was about to turn off the lights, a dark figure climbed over the window and entered without attracting the attention of anyone.

When Ruozong looked over, he saw Luo Ke sitting on the windowsill, leaning against the wall, with a serious expression on his face.

"what's up?"

Upon seeing Luo Ke, Ruo Zong, though somewhat helpless, rallied his spirits and returned to his desk.

Luo Ke then slowly began to speak.

"Wakamune, you know about the War of the Three Gods, right?"

"Ah."

"Have you been watching the League's reports on the Triad Wars lately?"

"No..."

At this point, Ruozong felt even more helpless.

Why would he bother looking at the records of the War of the Three Gods? He doesn't have the time for that!

Seeing that he was unaware, Luo Ke first told him about the Second War of the Three Gods, which made Ruo Zong, who had initially been barely able to muster his attention, become increasingly serious.

"A second war of the three gods is going to break out in this day and age? Are you kidding me!"

Ruozong's face looked very bad.

“I had heard about the War of the Three Gods before. Although it is defined as a war between three gods, it is actually just a euphemism for a war between gods.”

"The last war between the three gods involved more than three people; the Great God of Light also participated, so there were at least four gods involved!"

"Now that these three have made a move, who knows what other beings might be attracted if they start fighting. Moreover, the Great God of Light is not here this time. If we cannot stop this war from continuing, then the world will be rewritten because of their war!"

Seeing Ruozong like this, Luo Ke remained silent for a while, letting him calm down.

Once he had calmed down, Luo Ke finally spoke.

"Groudon is sleeping at the League headquarters, while Kyogre is sleeping in the abyss beneath these seven islands. I just came back from Kyogre's place—I discovered that someone is actively sending natural energy to Kyogre."

"I don't know what the purpose of the person who did this is—but I can only say that if Kyogre wins, its purpose is to flood the land with ocean, and I won't say more about what would happen to humanity without the land."

"In short, Wakamune, mobilize the alliance's power. I need to find the person who will do this!"

"I see."

When Wakamichi heard Kyoka's purpose, his expression turned even uglier.

However, he didn't say much, he just agreed.

At this moment, his eyes were incredibly sharp. Even if Luo Ke didn't tell him, he would find the person who did this, he definitely would!

When Luo Ke realized that he understood, he immediately climbed out of the window and left.

Asking Ruozong to help find someone doesn't mean he's ignoring the matter himself.

His next move was to contact various forces on the Seven Islands overnight and obtain information from them in his own way—he would also conduct a covert investigation.

As for which local force they'll approach tonight?

"Hmm... The one that Wakamune mentioned before, Nagayo, is quite good."

"Let's start with him!"

...

Beneath Hermit Island lies a location that no detector can find.

This is where Nagayo lived.

Just as Ruozong had thought, he suffered from insomnia!

"That guy Ruozong doesn't want anything, it's so annoying—but he's not the kind of person who would abuse his power for personal gain. If he were to target me directly for his own selfish reasons, it wouldn't be a good solution. Ruozong isn't that stupid."

"So what is he trying to achieve by adopting this attitude?"

"Ugh, so annoying!"

Changshi tore his hair into a mess with both hands, forcing a mask of pain onto his face.

"Wait a minute, given Ruozong's personality, he's not the kind of person who would abandon his former subordinates after gaining a position. So he'll definitely promote some of his old subordinates, but it's impossible for him to promote all of them."

"He's just joined the league. Even if he's very capable, he still needs time to climb the ranks. They can't possibly have that many people on hand, so they won't be able to promote that many."

"This means that he definitely intends to leave something for those subordinates who can't be promoted, and the number he leaves behind will be substantial!"

"Dissolving Company Z under these circumstances and not asking me for repayment... Hmm, could this guy be trying to use this method to amplify the impact of this matter, then take over my Company A in one fell swoop and go back to reward those who have contributed?"

"By doing this, he can also accumulate the wealth he needs to climb higher in the future!"

The more I think about living a long life, the more possible it seems.

Moreover, he thought of Ruozong's extremely direct and tough personality, and he felt that it was possible that Ruozong would send someone to Company A tonight to issue a challenge, or even start a war directly!

Just as he was thinking this, this secret room, which should have been opened by only a very small number of people, was opened!

Wearing a jet-black prism armor, Rocco withdrew his finger, and Ditto shrank back to its original shape. Rocco then walked in.

Luo Ke, who intended to make a move immediately, found himself a step too slow.

because...

Having begun preparations the moment he heard the sound, Changshi had already completed his actions.

As the leader of Company A and the de facto manager of Shichishima, Nagayoshi, who is by no means an ordinary person, has already taken actions that surpass those of ordinary people!

boom!

He bent his knees and knelt down in front of Luo Ke without ever raising his head. He slammed his head to the ground and didn't even dare to look at Luo Ke.

"Spare my life!"

He realized that if the sect wanted to target him now, there was nothing he could do.

So if the other party sends someone to find me, then let them do whatever they want, I will absolutely not resist!

As for whether this guy wasn't sent by Ruozong but by someone else?

Ha, do they really think his secret room is so easy to enter?

And coincidentally, the person who was able to enter his secret room arrived on the very first day Ruozong arrived.

How could such a coincidence happen!

Therefore, Changshi was already prepared for massive bleeding.

What he didn't know was that Luo Ke had only come to find information, but when he saw Chang Shi's actions, his eyes under the mask suddenly sharpened.

You're so guilty... what did you do?!

let me see!
