Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 324 Xiao He's Feelings

Listening to Sayuri's almost flattering plea for mercy, Shota was not moved and instead loosened another finger.

This time, Sayuri's scream was even louder, and just when Sayuri was about to finish screaming and was about to insult Shota.

As if to avoid Sayuri's scream, Shota covered his ears with his hands.

Sayuri's screams faded away from him.

Feeling the wind whistling in her ears, Sayuri stopped herself from saying any curse words and turned to look at the setting sun, a look of relief appearing on her face.

She opened her arms, as if welcoming freedom, welcoming the embrace of Mother Earth.

"Goodbye, world."

Just when Sayuri was about to fall freely to the ground and turn into a meat patty because of the huge potential energy, an invisible energy locked her tightly and placed her safely on the ground.

"Is it over? It turns out that jumping off a building to commit suicide doesn't hurt. It's done in an instant."

Thinking of this, Sayuri decided to try to slowly open her eyes, and of course, she succeeded.

Sayuri looked at the tall buildings in front of her and murmured to herself:

"I didn't expect to be here after death, ah~"

"Yes, I didn't expect you to be here after death."

Another sudden voice startled Sayuri. She turned her head to look in the direction of the voice and saw Shota sitting on the curb leisurely eating a giant lobster in his hand.

"Are you dead too? Why did you commit suicide?"

Hearing Sayuri's question, Shota paused while chewing the Boss lobster. He looked at Sayuri's puzzled face with a strange expression and said:

"Is there a possibility? You are still alive."

Hearing Shota's answer, Sayuri touched her face, then pinched it, and then a scream of pain came from the empty and deserted roadside.

"It hurts so much~ It turns out I'm not really dead."

Looking at Sayuri who was covering her face, Shota frowned, which rarely frowned. However, even though Sayuri looked so stupid, it would not affect the action he wanted to take next.

Then, I heard Shota ask vaguely:

"Since you failed to commit suicide, can you tell me why you wanted to commit suicide? Was it just because of the dance?"

Hearing Shota's question, Sayuri sat up, covering her face and fell silent.

Just when Sayuri was silent, a hand held her trembling hand, and Sayuri felt the familiar softness and warmth again.

Her heart gradually calmed down, as if she had made a great decision, or perhaps it was because the emotions that had been pent up for many years needed to find an outlet. Sayuri took a deep breath and then said:

"In fact, I found out the reason why I wanted to commit suicide during the process of suicide. It was not because of the failed dance, but because of my own denial of myself."

"Since we were young, my brother Daigo and I have been the focus of our family's attention because we are the children of Zifuchi Hibiscus."

"I have lived up to the genes I inherited from my mother and father. I have shown an exceptionally strong talent since I was a child. Among my peers in the family, I have always been at the top of the class in every subject that needs to be learned. Therefore, I am often praised by my father and mother."

"However, compared to my brother, this kind of praise is nothing. I have noticed this, so I am madly trying to catch up with my brother."

"My father's praise and my mother's smile gave me more motivation to move forward, but people can't always be perfect."

At this point, Sayuri sighed and continued:

"Take me for example, I have received many certificates, awards and trophies in many industries, some of which have surpassed the honors my brother has.

But as a trainer, I can't keep up with him at all. He is a true genius, and I am just an ordinary genius."

"But I am unwilling to give up. But what's the point? Not every effort will be rewarded. It doesn't mean you can surpass the so-called genius just by working hard. Under the same time conditions, the genius cannot be surpassed."

At this point, Shota obviously noticed that Sayuri's mood had dropped.

However, Shota was not in a hurry. He just waited quietly for Sayuri to speak again.

After a moment of silence, Sayuri continued:

"Perhaps because I lost to my brother in this area, after I became an adult, my father handed over almost all matters of the company to my brother, and I could only manage the subsidiaries under Dewen's jurisdiction."

"Gradually, I felt that my glory was taken away by my brother. The attention of the family members shifted to him. I was no longer the favored girl."

Perhaps the grievances surged into Xiao Baihe's heart, and tears wet her eyes, gradually flooding.

Shota doesn't think of himself as a good guy, so he humbly takes advantage of Xiao Baihe's broken heart.

Holding Sayuri's soft waist and feeling Sayuri's tears wetting his clothes, Shota remained silent, but once again elicited the devil's triumphant smile.

Xiao Baihe knew nothing about this and was just venting his inner feelings:

"So in the days that followed, I handed the subsidiary company over to my subordinates to manage, and I went to the balls held by the family from time to time to cause trouble. Or even when there were no balls, I would cause trouble. Why? Probably for my vanity and to attract people's attention."

After saying these words, Sayuri seemed to have realized that there was some ambiguity between her and Shota, and she slowly broke away from Shota's arms.

"I'm sorry, that's rude."

Seeing Sayuri's somewhat reluctant but sincere apology smile, Shota smiled back and said:

"I'm sorry too."

As he spoke, Shota stood up from the curb and continued speaking under Sayuri's somewhat puzzled gaze:

"It lets you experience a free fall."

After saying this, Shota seemed to have grown four legs and ran away into the distance.

Looking at Shota running away and thinking about what Shota had said before, Sayuri gradually came back to her senses from her sadness and a feeling of anger surged into her mind.

Finally, on the empty road, after the sun had already set and in the air that still had a hint of residual warmth, Sayuri's somewhat angry words were heard:

"Stop!"
