Chapter 1215 Finally Know
In the meeting hall of the United Region, the grandmother's dragon-headed cane knocked on the bluestone floor, making a "knock knock" sound, and each knock seemed to hit everyone's heart.
"What do you think of this?" She pushed the invitation card with only the word "Come" written on it to the center of the table. The gold-plated words shone coldly in the candlelight.
"Too arrogant! Truly too arrogant!" An old man in the front row, wearing a dark blue Alliance uniform, slammed the table. The badge on his chest was dazzling. "What right does this Sakaki have to dictate to Unova? When Mr. Adek was alive, we Unova never suffered such humiliation!"
Several people nearby followed suit, talking at once about Hezhong's assets.
"Arrogant? I have every reason to be arrogant." Suddenly, Kui Qisi sneered and slammed the newspaper between his fingers on the table. "I think you have forgotten about the Ainduook incident, right?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the noise in the conference room instantly died down like a broken string.
The legend of the masked man of Aindook is not over yet.
"You mean..." The old man who had just slammed the table turned pale, "Sakaki is the masked man?"
"What else?" Shaka glanced at him coldly, "Don't you guys read the intelligence?"
The eldest mother-in-law didn't look at the quarreling people, but her eyes moved between Shaka and Kuichisi.
"What do they say in Hoenn?" she suddenly spoke, tapping the ground with her cane again.
"Grandma Long is leading the team and has already set off." Xia Ka immediately restrained his expression and bowed to Grandma Long, his tone so respectful that he didn't sound like a newly promoted king.
"I'm afraid it's a trap!" someone muttered in the corner. "They're detaining our people at the Quartz Conference and then forcing Unova to surrender. Sakaki has a great plan!"
"A trap?" Kui Qisi suddenly raised his eyes, his gaze like a knife tempered with ice. "If it really is a trap, does he need to send out invitations? Do you think any of us can stop him?"
"Why do you keep encouraging others?" someone said anxiously, pointing at Quichis' nose and cursing, "Did you, Team Plasma, already sign with Sakaki? Back then, you were targeted by Mr. Adek for your troubles, and now you're trying to use Sakaki's influence to turn things around?"
"What did you say?" Kuiqisi stood up suddenly, and the six sages including Rhodes behind him also stood up. The seven people's Pokéballs on their waists lit up at the same time, and the conference hall was instantly filled with murderous intent.
"Shut up!" The grandmother slammed her cane to the ground. "Everyone, sit down! You're fighting among yourselves before you even fight anyone else. What a disgrace!"
Everyone shuddered with fear and sat down one after another. Even Kui Qisi sat back angrily, but his face remained ugly.
"I'll go." The grandmother was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I'll go to the Quartz Conference myself."
"Sister!" Shaka stood up immediately, "I'll go with you!"
The conference room was silent. The people who had argued the loudest just now lowered their heads and no one dared to speak again.
On the other hand, Kui Qisi smiled and stood up. "Since the Grandmother has gone, it's time for us, the Plasma Team, to show up. The sages and I will accompany you."
"That's settled." The grandmother waved her hand, her voice weary. "The meeting is adjourned."
Everyone filed out, and just as Shaka was about to follow, he was stopped in front of his legs by the grandmother's crutch.
He was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw his sister staring at him with a complicated look in her eyes.
Kui Qisi at the door caught sight of this scene out of the corner of his eye, paused, but did not turn back. He just glanced at the wise man behind him, and the few of them quickly disappeared at the end of the corridor.
He had expected that his mother-in-law would be suspicious.
How could Xia Ka hide his thoughts from his sister who raised him since childhood?
But what if I doubt it?
Sakaki's power is there, and Hezhong has no choice but to obey.
"What's wrong, sister?" Shaka pulled a chair and sat down, her voice a little weak.
"Do you still have me as your sister in your heart?" The mother-in-law looked angry.
"Of course!" Xia Ka was anxious and moved forward. "Sister, why do you ask?"
"Then how long are you going to keep this a secret from me?" The grandmother-in-law poked the ground with her cane. "Do you think I'm old and blind? The way you looked at Kuiqisi during the meeting, the things you said to cover up for him, and the awe you had for Sakaki that you dared not mention.
You and he are on the same page, and you always side with Sakaki. Do you think I can't see it?"
Xia Ka's face turned pale, he opened his mouth, and finally sighed: "Sister, since you have seen it, I won't hide it from you anymore."
He lowered his voice, "Not just me, but the entire Plasma Team... has long been under Sakaki's control."
"It's true." The grandmother closed her eyes, not surprised.
"And his strength..." Shaka gritted his teeth and lowered his voice, "It's even more terrifying than you think. The Three Cloud Gods, and the Black and White Dragons... are all in his hands."
"Really?" The old lady opened her eyes suddenly, and the cane in her hand shook.
The black and white dragons are both in Sakaki's hands, so why are they in the Unova region still thinking so much?
"Absolutely true." Shaka nodded.
The eldest mother-in-law was silent for a long time. She shook her head and said with a wry smile, "I am afraid that I, an old woman, have come out of retirement in vain. Adek's death was such a pity."
She paused and looked at Shaka, "It seems that I am also a stumbling block to him. I just don't know if an old woman like me is worth his personal effort."
"No!" Xia Ka waved his hands hurriedly, "Boss said that you are the elder of Hezhong, as long as you don't go against him, he won't touch you.
He also said...that if you are willing, you can become an honorary elder of the United New Alliance."
"Honorary elder?" The grandmother smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes. "He's just a decoration."
She stood up, supported herself on the ground with her crutches, and slowly walked towards the door. "You are still too honest."
Shaka followed suit and stood up, looking bewildered.
"Do you really think that Kui Qisi is truly cooperating with you?" The grandmother looked back at him, her eyes filled with helplessness. "It's just that you two don't have any conflict of interest right now, and he's too young."
Xia Ka's face flushed instantly, then slowly turned pale: "I...I didn't want to argue with him."
"If you don't want to fight, will he let you go?" The grandmother sighed and patted his shoulder, "Forget it, I, an old woman, will make another trip for you.
I'll talk to Sakaki at the Quartz Conference. At the very least, I want you to be able to finish this year's King of Champions safely, and then strive to become the next Champion and President."
Xia Ka's nose felt sore and his eyes turned red. Like a bullied child, he choked and cried out, "Sister..."
The grandmother-in-law didn't say anything else, but just took his hand and slowly walked out of the meeting room.
The sunlight outside the corridor fell on the two of them, stretching their shadows very long, like a pair of old trees that depended on each other, and before the wind and rain came, they took root firmly in this land that was about to change hands.
Then shield some time for his younger brother.
