My Pokémon Player

After sending Watson and others away, Chen Yan and the others were also preparing to return to the Chamber of Commerce headquarters to report the situation to Ryan.

Walking on the streets of the business district, Judy looked at the surrounding environment curiously. This was her first time walking openly on the streets.

In the past, she could only follow Grandpa Charlie to pick up garbage in remote alleys, and never dared to approach these vendors.

If you accidentally walk next to a stall, you may be beaten or scolded by others, or you may be arrested by the guards patrolling the street and never show up again.

Grandpa Charlie once told her not to be caught by the guards, otherwise she would never see grandpa again.

But now Grandpa Charlie himself has been caught, and he doesn’t know if these kind-hearted big brothers in front of him can rescue him.

Thinking of this, Judy quietly leaned closer to Xu Ruofeng. It seemed that only being close to Xu Ruofeng could bring her a sense of security.

Seeing this, Xu Ruofeng touched her little head and asked her in a low voice if there was anything she wanted.

Judy shook her head after hearing this, saying that it was enough for her to have bread to eat.

Her sensible look made Xu Ruofeng feel bad. If he hadn't been anxious to go back and report the situation, he would have taken Judy for a stroll in the commercial street.

The multi-grain rice noodle next to him was busy exchanging feelings with Morubeke, poking Morubeke's cheek pouch from time to time.

Even though he was numbed by the electric sparks, the corners of his mouth still rose crazily.

Seeing their performance, Lao Ye shook his head helplessly, and then whispered to Chen Yan:

"What's going on with them? Father's love is overflowing?"

Chen Yan glanced at Xu Ruofeng and the two of them, and said calmly:

"It's normal. Young people nowadays are like this. They don't want to have children, but when they see cute creatures, they want to raise them as children. When you first subdued Heracross, you couldn't wait to hold it to sleep."

"Ahem, that's true." Lao Ye scratched his head awkwardly, then changed the subject:

"What if the two guards realize that your poison is fake? If they tip off the director, won't our operation tonight fail?"

Chen Yan replied calmly: "They were all born in the slums. They managed to break out of the siege and became members of the escort. They spent countless efforts and sweat during this period. How could they risk their lives on whether the poison is real?" "

"Besides, betraying us won't do them any good. Even if our action fails, the Chamber of Commerce will most likely not do anything to us for the sake of Lord Lane."

"Contrary to us, their end will not be too good. The directors will not easily trust the guards who betrayed them repeatedly. In addition, they are from the slums. Life in the guards will definitely be difficult in the future."

"Even judging from the businessmen's usual thinking and practices, it is possible that in order to maintain their relationship with Lord Lane, they would take the initiative to hand over Mark and the others in exchange for Lord Lane's concessions in cooperation."

"So their betrayal will only lead to losses for both parties. Mark is a smart man and would not have thought of this."

Lao Ye nodded clearly: "In other words, even if Mark and the others realize that the poison is fake, they will not betray us, so why are you stuffing them with poison?"

Chen Yan continued to explain: "On the one hand, it is to show off to Watson, and through comparison, let him feel our trust in him."

"On the other hand, it is also an extra layer of insurance. Those two so-called poisons are, to put it bluntly, the carrier of trust between us and Mark. With these two 'poisons', both parties can feel more at ease."

After listening to Chen Yan's explanation, Lao Ye still didn't understand, but he chose to believe in Chen Yan's decision.

Chen Yan also knew that Lao Ye was more cautious, so he gave him another reassurance:

"Taking a step back, even if Mark and the others get confused and tell the director about our actions tonight, it won't matter. We can still successfully complete the task tonight."

"What do you mean by this?" Lao Ye's head was full of questions.

"The meaning is simple. Do you remember who assigned them to follow us?"

Chen Yan asked rhetorically.

"Director Locke." Lao Ye replied casually.

Chen Yan then asked: "Which chamber of commerce does Director Locke belong to?"

"Of course it's the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce."

Lao Ye frowned slightly, as if he thought of something.

"Then which chamber of commerce does the Blue Sea Colosseum belong to?"

A smile appeared on Chen Yan's lips.

"Hiss~ You mean that because the two chambers of commerce are competing with each other, even if Director Locke learns this information, he will not stop us."

Lao Ye took a deep breath, and then asked worriedly:

"But they both belong to the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, so they won't just watch the industry of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry suffer losses, right?"

"No, Director Locke wants the Blue Sea Colosseum to close."

Chen Yan's smile was a bit sarcastic.

"Until there is an external force strong enough to threaten them, the competition between the two chambers of commerce will never stop, and they will find ways to weaken each other."

"Just like the last time we robbed the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce's supplies, Director Locke was even willing to work as an undercover agent for us and cooperate with our actions. This shows the intensity of their competition."

"There are two large-scale colosseums in Guanhai City. The Blue Sea Colosseum suffered losses, and the one that gained the most was their Yaojin Colosseum. How could Director Locke stop us? Maybe he will help us eradicate it. Hidden danger.”

When Lao Ye heard this, he couldn't help but widen his eyes:

"You mean if Mark and the others report the news truthfully, they might lose their lives?"

"Although it sounds a bit outrageous, it is true."

Chen Yan nodded slightly and continued:

"So instead of worrying about whether our actions tonight will be exposed, you might as well worry about whether their lives can be saved."

"Why should I worry about them? They are just two guards."

Old Ye waved his hand, looking nonchalant.

Chen Yan smiled and said nothing, but secretly said in his heart:

"Don't let me down, I am very optimistic about you, I hope you really recognize the situation."

-

At the same time, under Hart's constant questioning, Mark also gave a similar answer to Chen Yan:

".In short, do you think that what I said just now was that I had no choice and was forced to take poison? What I really mean is that we have no way out and can only do what they want."

"I guess the knight master also understood what I wanted to express, so he let us leave with confidence."

Hart said angrily after hearing this:

"Damn, We are so unlucky. We were going well, but we met Captain Watson. He joined another force happily and may become a nobleman. We were threatened and our lives were in the hands of others! "

Mark shook his head lightly: "Unlucky? I think we are lucky. Not only did we meet several kind-hearted nobles and save our lives, but we also learned all kinds of information. Maybe there will be opportunities to change the slums in the future. "

"What nonsense are you talking about? Merchants and nobles don't treat us as human beings. How can there be opportunities to change the slums? "

Hart said with a confused look.

Mark didn't explain too much, but quickened his pace and came to the door of the Chamber of Commerce headquarters.

He saw Barry and Walker waiting outside at a glance.

The two walked quickly to Barry's side, and Hart asked directly:

"Boss Barry, is your mission going well? How did you come back so quickly?"

Barry sighed and said:

"Don't mention it, it was going well at the beginning. Who would have thought that we would meet Junsha worshiper halfway and take our work away. Fortunately, Director Locke didn't blame us. How are you doing? Is it going well?"

"Well, we... We are okay."

Hart was about to complain when he was hit by Mark's arm.

He was not stupid and reacted immediately.

This was at the door of the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce. Even if they spoke in a low voice, there was a risk of news exposure.

So Hart quickly changed his words and concealed the truth for the time being.

However, Barry also saw Mark's little action, and he immediately realized that Mark and the others might be in trouble.

So he greeted Mark and the others while giving Mark a look.

Mark signaled Barry with his eyes not to worry, and then took Hart to find Director Locke to hand in the task.

Barry looked at their backs with worry, silently praying that nothing would happen to them.

After layers of notification, Mark and his partner were allowed to enter Director Locke's study.

Director Locke was busy dealing with various affairs at this time, and said without raising his head:

"No need to pay respects, just report the situation first."

"Yes, sir."

Mark recounted the whereabouts of Chen Yan and others in detail.

Of course, Watson's appearance and Chen Yan's plan were still concealed by him.

In his report, Chen Yan and others first divided into two teams, then wandered around, picked up a little girl in the alley, and finally went to the Blue Sea Colosseum to watch the performance.

Director Locke had no reaction when he heard the first half of the news, and even picking up the little girl did not attract his attention.

In his opinion, it is normal for nobles to have some special habits.

It was not until Mark mentioned that Chen Yan and his friends went to the Blue Sea Colosseum to watch the show that Locke raised his head:

"Blue Sea Colosseum? Why did they go there?"

"I don't know. Maybe they heard the name of the Blue Sea Colosseum by accident while shopping and became interested in it."

Mark answered carefully, fearing that Locke would notice the flaw.

Fortunately, Locke also felt that what he said made sense:

"It is possible. Recently, a new batch of magic beasts have entered the Blue Sea Colosseum, and many residents are discussing this matter."

"If I had known that they liked to watch the beast fighting show, I would have recommended them to the Yaojin Colosseum. What a pity."

Locke thought that the knights of Firefly Town were a group of stubborn people who were not interested in the cruel beast fighting show, but they went to the Blue Sea Colosseum to watch the show.

But it's normal. They are not old and are in a period of strong curiosity. It's not surprising that they are attracted by the beast fighting show.

I just don't know if they can accept the beast fighting performance. If they can accept it, then Baron Ryan, as their lord, may also accept it.

Then I can invite Baron Ryan to the Yaojin Colosseum to watch the performance.

In this way, not only can we get closer to each other, but we can also use Baron Ryan's reputation to attract a large number of audiences to the Yaojin Colosseum.

So Locke hurriedly asked Mark:

"Did you go in with them? How did they react to the beast fighting performance?"

Mark pretended to hesitate at first, then knelt on the ground, gritted his teeth and answered:

"Your Excellency, as you know, the guards of the Colosseum have always looked down on us. We were afraid that they would reveal our identities and attract the attention of those nobles, so we did not follow them in, but just waited outside."

"As for their reaction to the Colosseum, we are not very clear, please forgive us."

After listening to Mark's answer, Locke did not ask Mark why he did not follow in.

As a director of the Chamber of Commerce, he also knew about the situation of the guards.

Guards like Mark who came from the slums are destined to be excluded.

Especially since the Colosseum still uses the poor to perform, it is even more impossible to give them a good face.

Therefore, Mark's decision is not unreasonable. Although he failed to find out the reaction of those knights, at least he grasped their whereabouts, so it was not a complete loss.

It seems that these guards who came from the slums are quite smart and can be used.

He knew that the council had the idea of ​​building a new guard team, and Director Gavin also proposed to hand over the team to the strongest captain.

Gavin's thoughts were clear to him. Seeing that Captain Melo was getting along with everyone and had the idea of ​​leaving the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce, they wanted to enhance Connor's strength and reputation and push Connor to the position of captain.

Locke would naturally not let them do what they wanted. It was a pity that the captains of their faction were far inferior to Captain Connor in both reputation and strength.

As another benchmark of the guard team, the newly built team naturally could not fall into their hands.

There was no way, Locke could only hinder it and delay Connor's pace of controlling the team.

Since Connor wanted to hold the new team in his hands, he would put sand in the team.

Locke was still worried about who to choose. After all, the new team was a model and benchmark for the guard team, and those with weak connections would definitely not be able to get in.

Other powerful guards had already been divided up by them, and they all had distinct faction labels. It was almost impossible for Connor to agree to these guards to join his team.

Mark and others were different. They were elected as guards as poor people, which was enough to show that they were not weak.

Moreover, they were excluded by other guards and had no chance to join the faction.

Aren't these candidates exactly what he wanted? The only problem is that they don't belong to the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce.

But this problem is easy to solve. He knows that people in the slums like to stick together and support each other.

As long as they are told about what the Blue Sea Colosseum has done, they will naturally reject the Blue Sea Chamber of Commerce.

Thinking of this, Locke immediately stood up and helped Mark and the others up, and then said with a smile on his face:

"You did a great job, and you are worthy of being the talents I value!"

Looking at Locke's pleasant expression, Mark and the others were very puzzled.

They were originally prepared to accept punishment, but they didn't expect that Locke would not punish them, but praised them instead.

What is going on? Did Director Locke take the wrong medicine? (End of this chapter)
