Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 464: Talking with Zhulan ②

After hearing what Takeran said, Shota nodded silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Can you let me go?"

"You don't look like a stupid woman."

Hearing Shota's irrelevant answer, Takeran showed a puzzled expression on her face, but her slightly clenched fists showed that she was feeling uneasy at the moment.

"What do you mean? I don't understand."

Looking at Zhulan, he still pretended to be ignorant.

Shota shook his head and looked at Takeran with a strange look.

"According to the information I have received so far, the heir to the Yuto family should be the outstanding talent, not you."

"so what?"

Zhulan's voice trembled slightly when she said this.

Shota seemed to have expected this, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.

"So you should be very unwilling, right?"

As soon as Shota said this, it could be seen that Takeran gritted her teeth.

"So what?"

"You must have a love-hate relationship with your grandmother Chiyo. After all, she taught you many truths, but at the same time she concealed the truth of the past. You should know the truth of the past, right?"

Hearing this, Takeran's pupils suddenly dilated. Looking at Shota's straight eyes, she knew she could no longer hide it, so after hesitating for a moment, she had to nod and acknowledge it.

“Indeed, after I became stronger, I investigated some of the family’s secrets, and then discovered the real cause of my father’s death.

He didn't die from overwork, but was killed by my second sister Junsha's hidden father.

But I don’t hate my second sister, because I know that she is living in pain all the time after knowing the truth.

She could only relieve this pain by putting her energy into work, and she always took care of my feelings and those of the top students.

I thought she suddenly stopped fighting and competing when she was a child because she became mature, but later I found out that it was because she felt too guilty.

I can forgive her, but I can't forgive my grandmother. It was her indecision that caused me to lose my father, so after learning the truth, I rarely went home.

Grandma Chiyo also noticed my abnormality and probably found some clues, but she still maintained her sacred and inviolable dignity, perhaps mixed with guilt.

But I knew that from the moment she knew that I already knew the truth, I would no longer be able to become the heir of the Yuto family as a matter of course.

After that, I discovered Sinnoh, a place with a very complicated political structure, and I thought my chance had come."

Seeing Takeran say these words calmly, Shota applauded her.

"I mean, if, if you were given the supreme authority over the Sinnoh region, what would you do?"

Hearing Shota's question again, Takebako answered without hesitation:

"Revenge? Most likely not, but I will walk up to her, trample her sacred and inviolable dignity under my feet, and then tell her that she is wrong."

Having said this, Zhulan's eyes had begun to turn red and tears could not stop flowing from the corners of her eyes.

“However, when I got the information from you, I suddenly felt powerless.

I am too weak, every step is difficult, and my character is not firm. I become impulsive because of emotions, otherwise I would not be caught by you.

My second sister, Junsha Xuezang, told me that if I ever meet you, I must treat you like Grandma Chiyo.

That's why I want to leave as soon as possible. Everything I said before was just going with the flow. I wanted to move my backers step by step and ask you to let me go for the sake of Grandma Chiyo.

This is what they call a warning to others, right? "

"But you want to do more than that, right?"

Looking at the playful expression on Shota's face, Takeran showed a bitter smile.

"You are right. I revealed so much information to you not because I was afraid, but so that you could cooperate with me. Because from the information my second sister Junsha Xuezang gave me, you are an extremely ambitious guy.

But I found that I couldn't control the overall situation, or I couldn't control you. Your strength is too strong. Cooperating with you is just placing a time bomb next to me.

So my first thought is to leave you as soon as possible.

Even if there is no help after leaving, he can't achieve this great political achievement.

After all, clothes should be buttoned one by one and food should be eaten bite by bite.

But unfortunately, you found me again. You are really a smart guy. I guess I am just too eager for quick success."

Seeing that Takeran finally spoke out her true feelings, Shota couldn't help but smile, but this smile made Takeran feel a little cold.

"I can cooperate with you because I also need the power of the Sinnoh region to help me achieve some goals. It can be said that we are now on the same line."

“You make a nice comment. To be honest, I admit that my IQ is not as good as yours, but I can foresee that I might be sold out by you and still help you count the money.

So how can I trust you?"

Hearing Takeran's question and the wary look on her face, Shouta scratched his head.

This woman is difficult to deal with. If I use hypnosis to brainwash her, someone will definitely notice it when she returns to the alliance. Moreover, for a strong woman with a strong will like Zhulan, hypnosis will most likely not have much effect. The hypnosis may be successful one second and ineffective the next.

If you use indirect control, you will definitely rebel and may become your own time bomb at some point.

After all, although there are prejudices between Takeran and the old woman Chiyo, this does not prevent the two from secretly working together to deal with him.

But he can't let Zhulan go easily now. After all, she has become an important help for him to get in touch with the Sinnoh Alliance.

"Bamboo orchid?"

"what?"

"What do you think about me?"

"What? What do you want to do? Anyway, I am sure you dare not kill me."

"Indeed, I dare not kill you. After all, I am afraid of the power of old lady Chiyo."

"So, what do you want to do?"

"Have you ever heard of the phrase 'love grows over time'?"

"What do you want? Don't come over here, don't come near me."

Shota looked at Takeran who was huddled in the corner. She had completely lost the temperament of a mature, steady and dignified lady, and instead showed a sense of pity.

But Shota will not be merciful because of this. The so-called beauty is nothing but wishful thinking. What cannot be grasped is always illusory.

"Give me your body and I'll record a video of it, and we'll be working together.

And don’t say no, you have no choice.”
