My Pokémon Player

Just as Ryan was leading the army toward Guanhai City, the two presidents of the Chamber of Commerce were discussing matters.

Thanks to the extensive news channels of the Chamber of Commerce, they had already known that Ryan had been gathering troops in the past two days.

Although the intelligence said that Lane was conducting some kind of "military exercise" in order to let the envoys of Shiqi City see the strength of the Lane Territory.

However, the two presidents were still a little worried, and they unanimously invited each other to meet.

After the two presidents who met at the headquarters of the Chamber of Commerce exchanged brief greetings, Crowe got straight to the point:

"Okay, without further ado, what do you think the Baron Lane, no, I should call him Viscount Lane now, is for calling in the army?"

"Didn't the intelligence say that he was holding a martial arts performance similar to our team's competition?" Morgan responded indifferently.

Crowe said with a straight face: "Morgan, are you an old fool? Do you believe this kind of news?"

"With Ryan's level of savvy, how could he possibly summon an army to play house with the envoys from Shiqi City!"

Faced with Crowe's ridicule, Morgan's expression remained calm:

"Then what do you think Ryan is calling the army for? To start another war?"

"Don't forget, he just experienced a war not long ago and occupied four towns."

"Any normal lord would choose to recuperate and digest the results of the battle instead of rushing to start the next war."

"You just said that Ryan is very smart and he will not do such irrational things."

"What's more, the envoy from Shiqi City is still in Yinghuo Town, and it is impossible for him to expose his ambitions in front of the envoy."

Crowe frowned and said: "You mean, Ryan summoned the army just to show off his power to the envoy of Lion City?"

"Perhaps, you also know that the identity of the envoy is not simple. A daughter of a marquis is here in person. Of course, Ryan must entertain her well." Morgan picked up the tea cup and took a sip of tea.

"So Ryan is trying to please the Marquis' daughter and establish a connection with the Flame Lion family?" Crowe continued to ask.

Morgan put down the teacup and looked up at Crowe. His eyes were obviously cloudy, but they gave people the feeling of being penetrated all over.

His old god said to Crowe on the ground: "Okay, don't pretend like you don't understand anything here. Your acting skills are too poor, and I feel a little sick to my stomach."

"You and I both know that Ryan has two purposes in calling up the army. One is to launch a war, and the other is to prove his strength to the Marquis's daughter and seek cooperation and marriage."

"Compared with the former, the possibility of the latter is very high. You should also have received information that Marquis Cross intends to marry Viscount Lane."

"Once Ryan marries the Marquis's daughter and becomes related to the Flame Lion family, our situation will be very dangerous. Ryan's next target is likely to be our Guanhai City."

"You just started the conversation because you just wanted to put the responsibility on me. After so many years, your tricks are still as unspeakable as before."

When Crowe heard this, he laughed angrily and said, "Oh, my tricks are not on the stage, but your tricks of suppressing the Yinghuo Town Chamber of Commerce are on the stage?"

"You clearly know that Marquis Cross has the intention of marrying, but you still anger Ryan and force him to cooperate with the Flame Lion family. Aren't you asking for trouble!"

"If Ryan turns his back on us because of your insistence, you will undoubtedly become the sinner of the Chamber of Commerce!"

After saying that, Crowe slapped the table and stood up, tilting his upper body in the direction of Morgan to put pressure on Morgan.

Morgan looked at the aggressive Crow in front of him and said calmly:

"First of all, Ryan is not a freeloader. He is very determined and will not change his decision at will just because we suppress his chamber of commerce."

"Secondly, establishing a chamber of commerce in Yinghuo Town may seem like a small matter, but in fact it is digging into our foundation."

"You also know the importance of elf balls and potions. Any chamber of commerce that owns these two businesses can develop rapidly."

"If the Chamber of Commerce in Yinghuo Town is really allowed to develop, not only will we lose huge profits, but the status of the Chamber of Commerce will also be threatened."

"When your Yaojin Chamber of Commerce rose, I did not suppress it in time. This is one of the few things I regret in my life. I will not make the same mistake twice."

"Finally, the marriage between Ryan and the Yanshi family is not necessarily a bad thing for us. What the Yanshi family is looking for at this stage is stability."

"The Marquis of Cross is not willing to let the Southeast Province fall into chaos, nor does he want to see other families develop rapidly, so he is bound to restrain Ryan, and his sons will also target Ryan in order to compete for inheritance rights."

"In this way, Ryan is equivalent to putting on heavy armor on himself. On the surface, he becomes stronger, but in fact he is struggling."

"The above is my explanation. Is Vice President Crow still satisfied?"

Crowe stared at Morgan and suddenly grinned:

"Old guy, it's really hard to take advantage of you. Could it be that you've really changed like crazy, and you're getting better and better as you get older!"

Morgan said with a smile: "There is no way, no one can live up to the expectations of the people below. I can only let this old guy hold on, otherwise the Blue Ocean Chamber of Commerce will be eaten up by jackals."

Crowe sat back again, curled his lips and said, "It seems that I can only kill you slowly. Fortunately, I am younger than you."

"Don't be so optimistic, maybe you will die in front of me." Morgan said softly.

"And Ryan is younger than you. Do you think your descendants will be Ryan's opponents?"

When Crowe heard this, his face suddenly darkened: "It sounds like your descendants are trying to live up to their expectations. Let's discuss how to deal with Ryan."

"Although he will be shackled after cooperating with the Flame Lion Family, we'd better stop this cooperation and let Marquis Cross use this as an excuse to suppress Ryan's development."

Morgan nodded slightly: "Well, I am going to order people to spread some rumors in Shiqi City, such as a certain family being annexed by the recruited son-in-law, or Ryan's romantic past."

"Even if Marquis Clos doesn't believe these rumors, he will still have some grudges in his heart."

Crowe couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "You old guy still likes to play with people's hearts as always."

"But your trick is too slow to take effect. You might as well send someone to intercept and kill the Marquis's daughter. Whether it succeeds or not, it will affect their cooperation."

Morgan said: "No, your plan is too risky."

Crowe said: "It's high risk and high reward. We can hire killers in the black market. Even if we fail, our identity will not be exposed."

"What you said is simple. Who doesn't know that behind the black market is our Chamber of Commerce? Lane and Marquis Cross are not stupid, they"

Before Morgan finished speaking, he was interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Who is it? Didn't I say that if there is no urgent matter, you are not allowed to disturb us?" Crowe said impatiently.

"Please forgive me, the two presidents. It was the two captains Connor and Halson who came to visit. They said they had urgent matters to report to the two presidents."

Crowe heard this and turned to look at Morgan. Both squad captains belonged to the Blue Ocean faction, so naturally they had to be dealt with by Morgan.

"Ask them to wait in my study." Morgan said solemnly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was violently kicked open, and two figures rushed in.

Before Morgan could scold him, Connor took the lead and said:

"I'm telling you, Chairman, there's something wrong with our Poké Ball, and we can't release the monster inside."

"What did you say?" Before Morgan could respond, Crowe couldn't sit still. After all, the Poké Ball was the business of the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce.

He asked eagerly: "Why can't the monster be released? Did you break the elf ball?"

"No, the elf ball is intact, but the monster cannot be released."

As Connor said this, he took out his elf ball and threw it upwards.

Under normal circumstances, the elf ball will automatically open and release the monster inside.

However, now the elf ball fell straight down, showing no signs of opening.

Upon seeing this, Crowe immediately reached for the elf ball and tried again, but he still couldn't release the monster.

"How is this possible!" Crowe showed a panicked expression for the first time in a long time, and a few drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Morgan next to him also looked solemn. He asked Connor seriously:

"Is it just your elf ball that can't release monsters, or other people's elf balls can't release monsters either."

Crowe's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he looked at Connor expectantly, hoping to hear the answer he was looking forward to from Connor.

It's a pity that Connor's answer completely shattered his luck: "Not only did my elf ball fail, Halson's elf ball also failed to release the monster."

"Due to the emergency, I didn't ask anyone else, but on the way here I met the 17th team on patrol. There are many guards in this team who have elf balls."

"I asked them to release the monsters in the elf balls, but they couldn't, so I speculated that all the elf balls were locked."

Crow then asked: "Is it locked? Then unlock it. Can't we control the locking function of the elf ball?"

Connor shook his head: "I tried it, but it still can't be opened. It's probably because someone has transferred the permission of the lock function."

"Huh? You mean someone can remotely control the locking function of the Poke Ball? This is impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"This is an elf ball. Who has the ability?"

Speaking of this, Crowe suddenly got stuck, and his face instantly turned pale.

After a while, he gritted his back molars and spoke word by word:

"Lei! Yeah!"

Only Ryan, who sold the Poke Ball to them, has the ability to remotely lock the Poke Ball.

"What does this bastard want to do? Does he want to make an enemy of the Yaojin Chamber of Commerce?!" Crowe roared angrily.

Morgan sighed and said: "To be precise, he wants to make us an enemy."

"How dare he! The envoy from Shiqi City hasn't left yet!" Crowe clenched his fists and said.

Morgan looked at Crowe who was losing his mind and shook his head helplessly.

If it were in the past, he would have wished that Crowe would be carried away by anger, but now that the enemy is facing them, they must join forces to fight against it.

So Morgan tapped the table with his fingers and said loudly:

"Calm down! Anger won't solve the problem!"

"Whenever you calm down and think about it carefully, you can understand why Ryan dares to do this!"

Crowe naturally knew that what Morgan said made sense. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.

It wasn't until his brain regained the ability to think that he said to Morgan with a complicated expression:

"Thanks, old guy."

"It's really rare to hear you thank me." A teasing smile appeared on the corner of Morgan's mouth.

Crowe said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense and think about how to deal with Ryan. This bastard wants to use Guanhai City to prove his strength to the envoy!"

Morgan said happily: "Yes, you have finally regained some sense. In addition, there may be another reason."

"He wants to make up for the time difference and occupy Guanhai City before Marquis Cross can react and seize the initiative in cooperation."

Crow snorted coldly: "This kid wants to swallow our Guanhai City, and he's not afraid of bursting his stomach!"

"We are not some little nobles, he is looking for death!"

Morgan looked at the elf ball on the table and said: "Ryan also knows that there is a strength gap between him and us, so he locked the elf ball and blocked our combat power."

"Looking at it this way, he has long had a plan for our Guanhai City, otherwise he would not easily sell you the Poké Ball. What a good plan!"

Crowe said with an unhappy expression: "What do you mean by selling it to me? Aren't you, the Blue Sea Chamber of Commerce, also secretly involved in the elf ball business? Otherwise, where did these two people's elf balls come from?"

Morgan smiled bitterly and said: "Yeah, who can't be tempted by the elf ball? This is what makes Ryan so scary. Let's hurry up and leave the combat power to him."

Crowe had completely calmed down at this time and turned to comfort Morgan:

"You can't blame us for this. Who would have thought that the elf ball can be controlled remotely? How did that kid do it?"

Morgan shook his head and said: "There is no point in discussing these now. The top priority is to find a way to unlock the elf ball, and then prepare for Ryan's attack."

"Captain Connor, you usually use the Poke Ball a lot. Have you thought of a way to unlock it?"

Connor replied: "I have an idea, but it's very risky."

"Oh? You tell me first." Crowe sat up straight and said expectantly.

Connor said: "Actually, I have tested the Poke Ball before and found that although the Poke Ball is strong, it can still be destroyed by external forces."

"In other words, we may be able to release the monsters inside by destroying the elf ball."

When Crowe heard this method, he clapped his hands excitedly:

"That's right! Then what are you waiting for? Destroy this Poke Ball quickly!"

Morgan on the side interjected: "Don't get excited, didn't you hear Captain Connor say there are risks?"

"I guess Captain Connor is afraid that destroying the Poke Ball will implicate the monsters inside, right?"

Connor nodded and admitted: "Yes, it is said that after the azure crystal of the Poseidon Temple was destroyed, the monsters inside ranged from serious injuries to death. I am not sure whether the same is true for the Poké Ball."

Crowe said indifferently: "It is precisely because of uncertainty that I have to try it more. It is just a monster. If it dies, it will die."

"Which one of you is willing to give it a try? I will compensate him with a more outstanding magical beast afterwards!"

Connor said calmly: "The monster in my elf ball is a metal monster. Does the Vice President want to compensate me for a natural disaster monster in its final evolved form?"

Crowe was speechless and had to turn his head to look at Halson:

"There's definitely not a natural disaster monster in your elf ball, right?"

Halson said with a grimace: "No."

"Then it's up to you to test it." Crowe said in an unquestionable tone.

After hearing this, Halson looked at Morgan and wanted to ask Morgan's opinion.

Morgan thought for a moment and finally nodded.

Time is of the essence, and the sooner you test, the better.

And compared to other guards who got the elf ball, Halson's monster is relatively ordinary, and even if it really dies, it won't be a big loss.

Seeing Morgan nodding in agreement, Halson could only take out his elf ball, put it on the ground, and then raised his foot and stepped hard on the elf ball.

He first felt a sense of obstruction, and then stepped on it without any hindrance.

"Bang!"

With a muffled sound, Halson's feet landed heavily on the ground.

Wait, the sound and the feel of the feet are both wrong!

Halson quickly raised his feet and looked at the ground, and then his eyes widened:

"No, where is my elf ball?!" (End of Chapter)
