Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 318 Late Night Talk

Shota didn't intend to delve into why Hai Zijin had become what it is today. After all, everyone knows about the competition between businessmen.

He just continued to listen to Daigo's story about the development of Zfuchi:

"What I said before was just a manifestation of the Zvochi family. Although it is true, the root cause is not only known to me, but also to many other people, including those old men."

At this point, Daigo raised his head and looked at Shota, his eyes flickering, and he said meaningfully:

"So it won't hurt my core interests to tell you this, so I'll tell you this short story about my father just because we might be able to become partners."

After saying these words, Daigo seemed to be lost in memories. He closed his eyes and thought for a long time. He seemed to have organized his words. He opened his eyes and said:

"In fact, in the original alliance cabinet many years ago, Zheshui was not the chief. That position belonged to my father."

"On the surface, Zheshui and my father get along well with each other on weekdays, but in the middle of the situation, the old guy Zheshui is gathering the forces of other major families in the Hoenn region, preparing to deal a fatal blow to my father's position."

"Although my father was aware of this very early, he was too proud at the time, or too confident in the Metagross in his hands."

"As a result, in the final battle between the two sides, his Metagross lost to the three-headed dragon that also had the appearance of a quasi-god."

As if to ease his emotions, Daigo said to Shota with a smile on his face:

"I once joked to a female friend of mine that old man Zheshui seemed to be born to restrain me."

Hearing these familiar words, Shouta couldn't help but think of Dujuan who turned into a cream puff last night.

After finishing his conciliatory words, Daigo sighed deeply, and then began to tell the story after Zifuchi:

"Let's get back to the topic. In that cabinet battle, there is no doubt that my father was completely defeated in that cabinet battle because of the three-headed dragon's suppression of the Metagross and the fact that their levels were completely synchronized."

"But fortunately, my father always has a trick up his sleeve. After taking back the Metagross, he took my mother and me and fled to Kanaz City through complicated interpersonal relationships."

"Although the alliance later sent a large number of investigators to search the entire Hoenn area, my father managed to escape the pursuit of the investigators by pretending to be the owner of a grocery store."

"Perhaps this is because Zheshui, after becoming the chief, believed that my father would not lower himself to become a humble grocery store owner."

"After this search throughout the region, my father relied on this grocery store called Dewen to gradually build up the Dewen Company, which is now the second largest company in the Hoenn region."

Daigo's words were very brief and plain, but Shota, who had walked through a sea of ​​corpses and blood, agreed deeply with them.

After all, he was doing something that seemed impossible to those far-sighted old foxes.

The alliance is like a towering tree. Although its leaves are yellow, its roots are intertwined and firmly stable.

But to knock down this big tree is not something that can be achieved by just talking and taking action.

The greatest arrogance of mankind is their innate arrogance.

Shota also deeply agreed with this, so the power of one person is limited after all, and to push down this rotten tree, the power of one person is totally insufficient.

Therefore, it is necessary to mobilize the power of the masses, no matter whether it is fraud or advocacy, as long as one can achieve one's own goal, as long as one can create a gift that is unique to her, the scar on one's heart can be soothed in this way, there is nothing that cannot be done, and no one cannot be used.

The wheel of history will roll forward, crushing those soulless bodies, and their cries will be heard in the ditches of the soul. The carriage will not stop for even a step, but will keep moving forward. Compared with this, the so-called indifference of people is nothing more than a tiny speck of dust when the world reopens.

The so-called warmth of history is just people's emotional need. Shota thinks that he will be the one who drives the carriage and keeps moving forward.

"Shota? Are you listening to me?"

The sudden words brought Shota back to reality from his deep thoughts.

Seeing Shota's eyes gradually regain clarity, Daigo exhaled and said in a joking tone:

"Don't let anything happen to you here, or those old guys will have a good reason to punish me."

Hearing Daigo's half-joking tone, Shouta responded:

"You can rest assured that I sneaked in secretly this time."

"I know."

Then Daigo continued:

"This story actually has some continuation. Do you want to listen?"

Hearing Daigo's question, Shota waved his hand and said:

"No need to talk about it. It's nothing more than how your old father made you the champion of the alliance, how your identity was exposed and you confronted the alliance. Oh no, it should be about the confrontation between the champion of the alliance and the alliance cabinet, and..."

After hearing Shota's guess about what he would do next, Daigo asked curiously:

"And what?"

"And your intention to overthrow the cabinet and reorganize the cabinet."

Daigo was stunned for a moment when he heard what Shota said, then he showed admiration on his face and said to Shota:

"Shota, I underestimated you. Indeed, you are right. This is the goal of my father, me, or the current Zfuchi family."

At this point, Daigo sighed deeply and continued:

"But our current strength is not enough to cause a fallout with the Hoenn Alliance Cabinet, and we are still subject to the constraints of alliance taxes. But in the end, under various factors and conditions, we have reached a tacit balance."

"That is to say, although the old guys in the cabinet were restricted in various ways, they also got what they wanted from the Devon Company, which had huge annual profits, by paying taxes according to the law."

As he spoke, Daigo bent his waist and made a money-wiping gesture with his middle finger, index finger, and thumb.

Looking at Daigo's hand movements, Shota just shrugged, and then the air fell into silence.

After a moment of silence, Daigo said to Shota:

"I can guarantee that after overthrowing the cabinet led by Tetsumi, the lower-class people will be able to get warm protection, and you will also get one of the best positions in the alliance. So, what is your choice, Shouta?"
