HBWnovel Chapter 262 Schemes (1)
Chapter 262 Schemes (1)
It has been about a week since the secret mission in the Siam region.
In the Dark-type Gym of the City of Belle.
"Master, junior brother, you two continue chatting, I'm going to work."
As the owner of the museum, Lang Zixing still has many other matters to attend to.
The dojo has resumed its five-day-a-week opening hours.
It is clear that the alliance has stabilized the overall situation.
At this moment, only Ye Kai and Chu Feng remained in the room.
"..."
Seeing that Ye Kai remained silent, Chu Feng stopped beating around the bush.
“I know you are wary of me, and even a little resentful.”
"But that's precisely what I admire about you."
"Tell me, why did you have to come to me?"
Ye Kai didn't use a formal tone when speaking to his former coach, now the king of evil-type champions.
Speaking frankly makes their relationship seem less distant.
"Actually, it's not just me. Red Center and Zero Fire, the two Heavenly Kings, also want to help you become the Poison-type Gym Leader. Now it's up to you."
What if I say I don't want to?
"That's not mandatory, but kid, you'll have to choose sides when the time comes."
"What's the meaning."
He clearly sensed a hidden meaning in Chu Feng's words.
"It's very simple. Currently, within the Dragon Kingdom Alliance, the high-level combat forces, led by the publicly known Heavenly Kings, can be basically divided into three factions."
Three?
"Correct."
"First, there is the conservative faction led by Hong Zhong, whose leaders are all getting old."
"Their family has the strongest power and background, and they have formed a system of transferring benefits. They are a monolithic and highly united group."
"The old folks will eliminate any dissidents in order to protect what they own."
Chu Feng lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.
After a while, he continued.
"The second type is the neutral party like me, who does not support either side and only seeks to increase its own strength."
"In fact, the members of the Greedy Wolf Squad that I trained are the same kind of people as you and me."
"Being single means being free from all ties and constraints, not bound by any affairs or interpersonal relationships, allowing you to unleash your potential, grow your strength, and realize your personal ambitions."
Then he stopped talking.
"Don't leave things unsaid. What about the third one?"
"Didn't you say you weren't interested?"
"..."
Ye Kai was speechless.
"Damn it, tell me quickly."
"Hehe, okay, okay, don't rush, I'll explain slowly."
"The third group is the younger generation, which is a group of young kings led by Long Jian."
"They are extremely powerful and have radical ideologies. They are trying to expel all the conservatives and wipe out the entire family!"
Dragon Sword?
This was the first time Ye Kai had heard this name.
In fact, Chu Feng only said part of what he wanted to say.
Back then, Ling Xi'er was also one of the best among the young talents, and at one point she was even more outstanding than me.
Unfortunately, she made a mistake that many women make.
That is to try to rely on others to create a better future for oneself.
This caused her to waste three of her most promising years.
But this is all for later.
The Dragon Sword is different.
Her situation is very similar to Ye Kai's.
Severing all ties and love.
They pursue immense power like a fanatic, so this problem doesn't exist.
"Okay, I've told you all this now, but I doubt you'd understand."
"Let me formally invite you, Ye Kai, how about joining my faction?"
"...Let me..."
"You don't need to answer right away. I can wait until you've thought it through before you speak."
"As someone who's been there, I want to remind you that at the right time, it's okay to take a little more risks."
Ye Kai realized that Chu Feng's words contained a great deal of information.
"More risky, what do you mean?"
Chu Feng lit his cigarette butt and began to talk about the rumors surrounding the Dragon Sword.
Under normal circumstances.
To become a Champion, you need to start as an Apprentice Trainer and work your way up through the badges.
You can only start challenging for the big badge once you've collected 19.
Only after acquiring most of the major badges can one become a level 2 or even level 3 professional trainer.
Among the Level 3 professional trainers.
Only those with prestige and strength stand out.
Only then will you have a chance to be nominated to become a superstar!
"Think about how difficult this is for an ordinary person?"
"..."
Ye Kai naturally understood the hardships involved.
Putting everyone else aside, just looking at himself, he still hasn't finished collecting all the badges!
"But Long Jian, this woman, has really opened my eyes."
"She defeated several Heavenly Kings and quickly rose to the top to become a Heavenly King!"
"After becoming a king, promote someone else to be the dojo master."
"After quickly establishing a foothold, she then introduced policies that benefited ordinary people and trainee trainers, which made everyone quite fond of her..."
The entire process is the reverse of the life trajectory of an ordinary trainer!
Ye Kai remained unmoved.
Do such people exist?
Have!
But very few!
Only the luckiest person can do it.
He should proceed step by step at his own pace, lest he overdo it and hurt himself!
"...King Chu's insight is brilliant."
That's all I've said.
Ye Kai really didn't know what to say, so he simply replied with this.
After all.
Chu Feng still advised Ye Kai to take a shortcut to success and become the Poison-type Gym Leader.
He then took out a few more items.
"Alright, let's get down to business."
"Joining my side will naturally bring corresponding benefits; consider this my welcoming gift to you."
Chu Feng opened the briefcase that was placed to the side.
There were two high-level orbs and a jar of dark purple potion inside.
"This is?!"
Ye Kai's eyes widened in surprise.
"You know, I'm the kind of person who likes to push things too hard, I don't know if that suits your taste?"
Ye Kai released the Pokémon from the two Advanced Balls.
It turned out to be two old monsters.
And these two Arbok monsters clearly have a story behind them!
One of them.
It was the very same creature that attacked Ye Kaiwei during his pressure test!
Two overlords, each about 9 meters tall, plus a red-eyed leader—that's some fighting power!
Chu Feng actually gave it up so easily?!
This means that he's already used all of these things...
The giant snake flicked its tongue and sized up Ye Kai.
If Chu Feng hadn't been there, exerting pressure on them...
In the blink of an eye, Ye Kai will be devoured alive by the two giant snakes!
"Perhaps you're finding it a bit difficult to command these two guys right now."
"However, if you take this thing back, dilute and soak it, you should be able to command them and make up for the two attribute resistances you are missing."
"I'll send you the soaking location later."
The potion he's holding should be the result of the Yaksha Cult's research and development.
Chu Feng's actions made Ye Kai even more cautious about him.
But right now, Ye Kai needs these combat troops and medicines, so he has no reason not to accept them.
In any world, resources are always in the hands of a few.
Without Chu Feng's connections, where would he find such resources?!
Maybe so.
But what you get in a few years will be vastly different from what you get now!
Besides, what if we don't accept it?
Not only will they lose these tremendous benefits, but they will also become enemies with Chu Feng.
After all, he had already declined the position of Poison Master twice.
It would be unwise to refuse these requests any further.
When it evolves into refusing a toast and having to drink a penalty shot.
That would be asking for trouble.
"Tell me, what do you want me to do?"
"Smart, talking to you is so easy."
"It's nothing, it's just..."
A series of words.
Ye Kai's eyes grew even dimmer as he listened.
Ah, I see. Good.
"Is it difficult for you to put aside family ties for the greater good?"
"Ye Rong is my father. It's really inappropriate for me to go against my own family..."
"Someone like you, do you even care about these things?"
Ye Kai grinned.
"King Chu, you've misunderstood. He's my own father! This little bit of benefit isn't enough!"
"How about adding this thing as well..."
Chu Feng has too many good things.
The items that seemed to be taken out casually were actually all things that Ye Kai craved.
He didn't like the feeling of being used.
But I don't dislike it either.
To be able to become someone else's pawn.
This means you have at least enough value!
Ye Kai set off overnight, flying to his hometown of Liancheng.
"Hey?"
"it's me……"
10,000 meters in the air.
Ye Kai did not call Ye Rong directly.
Instead, they contacted Lao Deng through Butler Wang as an intermediary.
Chu Feng did not send Ye Kai to kill him.
They simply lured him out and then imprisoned him for a period of time.
It's simply a matter of using personality overwriting techniques to transform them into "one of our own."
This might make it somewhat difficult to target those highly skilled trainers.
But Ye Rong was just a wealthy businessman.
At most, they have a few bodyguards.
With Ye Kai's ruthlessness, dealing with these people would be a piece of cake.
As his son, Ye Kai, acting in concert with those inside and outside, would likely be able to do so even more discreetly.
He turned Ye Rong into his own white glove.
That's equivalent to removing "a few fingers" from the red team.
This can also be considered Ye Kai's pledge of allegiance to Chu Feng's team.
Unfortunately, Chu Feng made a mistake despite his meticulous planning.
Unbeknownst to them, Ye Kai was a time traveler.
He had absolutely no feelings for his "biological father".
The three hours or so passed quickly.
He quickly landed on his own estate.
Ye Rong had been waiting for him in the garden for a long time.
"Kai! You haven't answered your phone for the past few weeks, and I haven't heard from you at all. I thought you had already..."
"Do you know that both of your older sisters..."
It's been a while since I've seen you.
Ye Rong had aged a bit more, but it was just the aging that one would expect at this age.
Ye Rong used to be very well-maintained.
"I am currently a Level 1 professional trainer in the League, and I am very busy with secret missions. Please forgive me."
With that, he walked into the mansion without turning his head.
Seeing him like this, Ye Rong felt relieved.
Even now, Ye Kai remains the same, not getting close to him.
But at least he has matured a lot and doesn't look as rebellious as before.
"Tell me about how things have been lately."
Instead of talking about his own affairs, Ye Kai asked about Old Deng's situation.
He casually picked up an expensive tree fruit from the coffee table and started peeling it.
"...It's alright, considering the series of natural disasters. It's quite remarkable that the invested projects have managed to stabilize..."
Ye Rong looked even more tired when he said this.
Old fox, great acting skills.
If Chu Feng hadn't told Ye Kai beforehand...
This guy made a fortune off a natural disaster; he almost got scammed.
In some ways, this world is very similar to my past life.
The temporary recession caused by major disasters is a perfect opportunity for people like Ye Rong to short the market and make a fortune!
"And what about that kid?"
Ye Kai was referring to Ye Xuan, of course.
"That kid, ugh! I get so angry just talking about him. Kai, if your brother were even a fraction as good as you, I wouldn't be so worried about him. Sigh..."
Old Deng talked on and on about Ye Xuan.
First, he lost a fight at the dojo, and then he used his family's qualifications to live a life of debauchery.
They assumed Ye Xuan was still studying at the research institute, so they didn't pay him any attention.
Unexpectedly, upon inquiring, I discovered that he had even neglected his studies.
Later, after lying in bed at home in Beijing for several weeks, he said he wanted to learn how to do business from Lao Deng...
Ye Kai listened to all of this with a blank expression.
My heart was no longer greatly stirred.
Anyway, Old Deng will soon have his "personality rewritten".
Let these be his last words.
Ye Kai interrupted him.
"Just give a brief overview of everyday family matters; I'm not very interested in those. Let's get down to business."
He took out a file from his spatial backpack.
Then I casually placed it on the coffee table.
Ye Rong was shocked the moment he saw the file.
The last time I saw this thing was more than ten years ago.
At that time, a mysterious person approached him, and from then on, he became connected with the Hong family.
Unexpectedly, fate has smiled upon this old man once again!
And this time, it was his eldest son who brought them!
"This is a secret order from the Alliance King. We'll go to the Royal Court Hotel to see him later..."
