My Pokémon Player

Everyone present looked in the direction of the sound, and a familiar figure came into view.

"Boss Connor, why are you back?"

Halson shouted with surprise.

"Oh? You don't want me to come back?" Connor asked Halson with a smile.

"No way, I hope you come back as soon as possible, so that no one will form a group to exclude me."

As Halson spoke, he looked at Will and Snake proudly, like a primary school student who found a teacher to support him.

Will's face turned very ugly when he heard this. He lowered his head, not daring to look at Connor.

Snake picked up the tea cup and gestured to Connor gracefully, but the smile on his face looked particularly stiff.

"Okay, we'll talk about the gossip later. I'll report the mission status to Lord Mello first."

Connor ignored the two captains of the Yaojin faction, just nodded to Wise, and then strode to Mello's table.

He bowed slightly symbolically and said hello to Mello:

"Greetings to Lord Mello, I have completed the task you assigned me, and now I am back to resume my duties."

Although Connor's salute was a bit perfunctory, Mello didn't seem to care and said cheerfully:

"How many times have I told you, there is no need to be polite in front of me, just sit down and speak slowly."

"As you command!"

Connor also sat down next to Halson, and then reported the situation to Mello:

"The intelligence is correct. The Bloody Hands are indeed operating near Chiyan Island. I have completely eliminated them!"

Connor took out a pirate flag from his arms, stood up and placed it on Mello's desk.

Mero unfolded the flag casually and took a look at the conspicuous bloody hand pattern on it.

"I didn't expect Captain Connor to wipe out the Bloody Hand Pirates so quickly. He is indeed the most powerful captain of our escort team!"

Melo did not hesitate to praise him.

"Sir Mello is overrated. They are just some petty thieves. They can be easily solved by just sending any squad leader."

Connor waved his hand and said, also hinting to Mello, don't think about sending him out with such a simple task all day long.

"Hey, you can't say that. If the famous Blood Hand Pirates are just petty thieves, then most pirates on the sea are not even as good as petty thieves. Captain Connor is still strong enough to easily defeat powerful enemies. I will Ask the council for a reward."

Mello seemed not to understand what Connor meant, so he continued to praise him, and then changed the subject:

"Okay, let's put aside the matter of the Bloody Hand Pirates for now. I just heard you say that you want to take over these dozen Warcraft users. Is this true?"

Mello did not ask where Connor learned the news that he had just returned to Guanhai City.

Everyone has their own channels for information, not to mention that Connor is still the strongest squad leader. There will always be people who want to curry favor with him and secretly pass information to him.

Melo just wanted to quickly hand over the hot potatoes like Yuye Kuangdao. He was already having a headache when he saw that several squad captains were unwilling to take over, but he didn't expect that Connor would ask these people to leave as soon as he came back.

Okay, okay, if it weren't for the fact that the relationship between him and Connor hadn't become increasingly estranged, and even a bit hostile to each other, he would have wanted to give Connor a big hug.

"Of course it's true. I must take such a potential Warcraft user under my command!"

Connor said decisively.

Hearing that Connor confirmed that he would take over these Warcraft users, not only did Mello's face show joy, but Snake and Will almost couldn't help laughing, and they all agreed with Connor:

"As I said just now, only Captain Connor can maximize the potential of these Warcraft users. It seems that Captain Connor has the same idea as me."

"That's right, with Captain Connor's ability, he can definitely train them to become the aces of the escort team!"

But not everyone was happy. Wise and Halson didn't feel any joy at all.

The former frowned as if he was thinking about something, while the latter was even more anxious and said to Connor eagerly:

"Boss Connor, don't be impulsive. There will be a team competition soon. You now"

As a result, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Connor waving his hand.

Seeing that Connor had made up his mind, Halson had no choice but to shut his mouth angrily.

"Very good. Since Captain Connor has taken the initiative to take over these Warcraft Users, I will assign them to your team. Which team do you want them to join?"

Mello was afraid that Connor would regret it, so he quickly settled the matter.

"Let them join the first team."

Connor said calmly.

"What? How can this be done! I don't agree!"

Mello rejected Connor flatly.

Are you kidding me? The first team is the face of the escort team. Only the most powerful and best-performing guards have the chance to join the first team.

No matter how potential these Warcraft users are, they cannot join the first team.

If they become a drag on the first team and cause it to perform poorly in the competition, even the captain himself will have to bear the responsibility.

When Connor saw Mello's reaction, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth slightly:

"Master Mello, don't you agree? Then forget it, let them join the 10th Team."

Seeing that Connor changed his mind so quickly, Mello understood in his heart that this guy never wanted these dozen Warcraft users to join the first team in the first place. He deliberately used the first team to give himself eye drops!

It seems that Connor is determined to go against him. He obviously belongs to the same faction, but he always makes trouble for him.

Mello also knew the root cause. Wasn't it because he didn't agree with his reform?

The problem was that reform was not that simple. The guards were no longer what they were when they were first established. It involved many interests.

Those pure guards had died in battle at sea with the first captain. Most of those who remained in the guards were pursuing their own interests.

The reason why he was able to take over the position of captain was because he could balance the interests of all parties.

He had finally established the interest relationship and divided it into three major factions, allowing them to fight and check each other, so that he could control the situation and gain power.

As a result, Connor wanted to destroy the interest network of the guards with reforms.

This was not reform, it was clearly forcing him to abdicate!

It would be strange if Mello agreed to Connor's reform.

He originally wanted to have a good exchange with Connor, after all, they belonged to the same faction.

With Connor's strength and reputation, it was a foregone conclusion that he would be the next captain.

Melo is not young anymore. After he works for a few more years, he will abdicate without Connor's suggestion.

Connor can reform however he wants, even if he destroys the guards, it has nothing to do with him.

Who would have thought that Connor would not even wait for a few years, but insisted on reforming now, saying that it would be too late in a few years, and the newly rising nobles would not tolerate the existence of Guanhai City, which is simply laughable!

The nobles are now fighting among themselves, and they have lowered their proud heads in order to gain the support of Guanhai City. How could they pose a threat to Guanhai City?

In Melo's view, Connor just found a random reason to launch reforms and force him to abdicate.

Connor thought that Melo's thoughts were corrupt and he was not suitable to be the captain anymore.

The conversation between the two ended unhappily, and they have since gone to opposite sides.

It's just that they have the support of the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce behind them, so they haven't torn their faces and maintained superficial harmony.

"Team 10? Although it is the weakest team under your command, it is enough to accept these monster masters."

Mello suppressed his displeasure and nodded to agree with Connor's decision.

Hmph, I want to see how you deal with these hot potatoes.

If they are trained, it will be fine. Everyone will praise them as usual, "Connor is worthy of being the captain."

If they are not trained, it will be difficult to explain to the directors, and they will also question Connor's strength.

Thinking of this, Melo's mood has improved a lot.

He continued to chat with Connor for a few words, and then ended the meeting.

All five captains left the meeting room. Before leaving, Snake did not forget to say to Connor in a hypocritical manner:

"Congratulations to Captain Connor, you have recruited so many talents. You will definitely shine in the next team competition."

Connor glanced at Snake, didn't bother to say a word to him, and left with Harson.

Snake's face immediately darkened when he saw this, and he snorted coldly and said:

"Why are you so proud? You just rely on the first team. When the overall strength of my team exceeds yours, the first team will be in my hands sooner or later!"

"But as long as the first team is in his hands, our overall strength will not exceed his, unless you can defeat Connor and gain the recognition of the first team."

Will shook his head and said.

"Shut up, no one will think you are dumb if you don't speak!"

Snake glared at Will. He was really talking about something irrelevant. If he could beat Connor, the first team would have been assigned to him. Is there any need to envy and hate him now?

Will also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and quickly changed the subject:

"Connor is also confused. He actually took those beast masters under his command. When the next fight comes, his tenth team will definitely be pulled down by the teams below, and his reputation will be hit."

Snake's expression was relieved a lot after hearing this. He sneered and said:

"He has always been arrogant. It is normal for him to accept these beast masters. Let's wait and see. When the time comes, let my twelfth team challenge first, and your team will follow closely, and try to pull his tenth team out of the fifteenth place!"

Will nodded repeatedly: "No problem. Although the team can refuse the next challenge after accepting a challenge, Connor will not allow his team to be afraid of fighting."

"If a team can only accept three challenges at most during the fight period, and there must be a day of rest in between, I would have used a round-robin battle to pull down his tenth team!"

Will studied the rules of the fight clearly, and waited for the next fight to see Connor lose.

Snake did not respond to Will, but turned to look at Connor's departing back, muttering to himself:

"The strongest squad leader? How long can you carry this title?"

--

On the other side, Harson still couldn't help asking Connor:

"Boss Connor, I really don't understand why you want to let those beast masters join the Tenth Squad."

"Do I need to ask this? Of course, it's because they have potential."

Connor answered calmly.

"They have potential, but..."

Harson was halfway through his words when he heard Connor say:

"Okay, I've thought of all the problems you're worried about. It's nothing more than worrying that the director's vision is not good. The selected beast masters are just in name only, but they are actually trash. If they can't be trained, they will offend the director."

"In addition, they will also lower the strength of the team, causing the team to suffer in the battle and significantly reduce the ranking."

Harson was even more puzzled when he heard Connor say this, and he continued to ask:

"Since you know everything, why do you take the initiative to take the trouble on yourself?"

"Trouble? You seem to have overlooked one point, that is, these magic beast masters really have great potential."

Connor looked in the direction of the cafeteria and continued:

"I just observed them. Although I can't see their combat qualities, their initial magic beasts have high potential, and they all have Poké Balls on their waists."

"Poké Balls? Are they from the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce?"

Harson said in surprise.

Connor glanced at Harson helplessly: "What are you thinking? If they are really from the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce, how could Director Gavin let them join the Guard easily."

"Then what about them? Oh, right, they came from Firefly Town."

Harson suddenly realized that others might not know where the Poké Balls of the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce came from, but they, the team leaders, knew it very well.

"They are quite smart. I went to see Director Gavin before I came here. According to him, the reason why these beast masters have Poké Balls is because Baron Ryan also sees their potential and wants to win them over with Poké Balls."

"As a result, Baron Ryan still underestimated the ambitions of these beast masters, giving the two directors an opportunity to take advantage of them. For this reason, our Chamber of Commerce has to pay some price to appease Baron Ryan."

"It can be seen that these beast masters do have great potential, and there is no need to worry about not being able to cultivate them."

Connor explained that he always liked talents. Even if these beast masters were ambitious and focused on interests, he didn't care. There were many people like them in the guard team.

As long as they have the potential to become strong, these are not a problem.

After listening to Connor's explanation, Harson's worries were reduced a lot. At least he didn't have to worry about Connor offending the director.

He could feel the conflict between Connor and Captain Mello. Although he didn't know the inside story, he would still support Connor without thinking.

If Connor offended the two directors because of these beast masters, it would be a loss.

Fortunately, Connor did not act on impulse, but agreed to accept them after fully understanding the potential of these beast masters.

However, Harson was still a little worried. He frowned and said:

"Even if they have potential, they will only become a burden to the team in a short time. Your tenth team will be dragged to death by them."

Connor nodded slightly: "You are right. With their current strength, they will only become a burden to the tenth team."

"But what if they don't join the tenth team?"

A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of Connor's mouth. (End of this chapter)
