So charming, you want me to raise Pokémon?

Chapter 326 Galaxy Team: Lord Red Sun, what are you saying?

Chapter 326 Galaxy Team: Lord Red Sun, what are you saying?

A soldier from the Galactic Team pushed open the door to the conference room. Hundreds of people were sitting inside, some in Galactic Team uniforms and others in civilian clothes for disguise. Apart from the officers, almost all the members of the Galactic Team were there. He looked around and finally found his friend in the crowd and walked over.

His friend noticed the approaching person and asked in confusion, "Why are you so late? What if Lord Chi Ri finds out you're late? Ah Jia, why do you look so unhappy? Who upset you?"

"Stop talking, I drank a bit too much soda tonight," said the soldier called A-Jia, sitting at the table. On the table in front of him, besides paper and pen, there was a bottle of clear, colorless purified water.

He said indignantly, "On the way here, I took a shower and overheard two people questioning Team Galaxy's ideals in the restroom, and even worrying that there's no place for us in Lord Akatsuki's ideals."

"This is utterly outrageous!" The person sitting in front slammed his fist on the table, causing the water bottle to pop up and spill onto the table. Everyone around turned to look. He held the bottle of water in his hand, as if preparing to launch into a long speech, twisted the cap, and with a click, poured some water to moisten his throat.

"How dare you question Lord Red Sun's ideals? With such a weak will, you can still join the Galactic Team. You're hopeless. Well, I'm quite good at using this Eastern Huang proverb. Where are these two now?" The man rolled up his sleeves.

"This is no longer a simple ideological issue; we must take strong measures. Lord Chi Ri has gone to great lengths, taking time out of his schedule to hold a meeting with us, conduct ideological education, and discuss our ideals. We should be grateful."

A-Jia looked around. Although the two people had traces of makeup on their faces, they were quite recognizable with their big noses and long hair, but he couldn't find them in the conference room. "It seems they haven't arrived yet. I guess they're too scared to come. Let's not talk about such unlucky things. Let's talk about something else. Why didn't you come to my birthday party last week?"

"I have something to do, so I'm going to see your sister."

"You're dating my sister!" A-Jia slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly, glaring at his friend. "No wonder she was involved the other day; she's my sister!"

A-Jia's friend panicked instantly: "How did you know? Actually, your sister and I were just satisfying each other's needs."

"What?!" Ah Jia rolled up his sleeves, his eyes bloodshot, panting heavily. The veins on his shoulders bulged as he rolled up his sleeves, wishing he could punch his colleague to death.

"Is her sister pretty?" a member of Team Galactic suddenly asked.

"It's actually pretty average—but she accepts all comers."

"Damn it—" A-Jia was furious and immediately pounced on him, grabbing his fist and wrestling with the Galactic Team member in front of him.

"Accepting all comers is the way to go—"

Some laughed, some started to fantasize, some were eager to try, and some started to break up the fight.

"Stop fighting! Lord Akari is coming soon. He hates fighting the most. If he finds out, you're all finished."

Before the other members of Team Galactic could separate the two, the conference room door swung open with a bang, and everyone turned to see a tall, imposing figure standing in the doorway.

It was the leader they spoke of, Chi Ri, followed by his subordinates, Huo Xing.

The person who broke up the fight let go of Ah-Jia, and Ah-Jia let go of his friend.

"What's going on here?" Chi Ri's loud voice struck everyone present. Instantly, the air froze, and the conference room fell silent, as if everyone's thoughts had stopped. Only the sound of Chi Ri's leather shoes hitting the conference room floor tiles made a suffocating noise as he walked up to the two fighting figures.

"Lord Red Sun—" The anger and emotions in A-Jia's mind instantly subsided, leaving only the fear that crept up his spine, causing his body to tremble uncontrollably.

Akari sized up the Team Galactic member in front of him: "I remember your name is A-Jia. How is your sister?"

"Thanks to you, everything is alright—" Ah Jia hesitated for a moment, "all is well."

I was secretly thrilled that Lord Akari remembered my name and my sister.

Seeing A-Jia's anger dissipate, and the person next to him with a bruised and swollen face struggling to get up, perhaps pinching their mouth because of an injury, Chi-Ri let out a heavy sigh.

"I should have emphasized to you all repeatedly that the most despicable and ugly thing in this world is fighting. You really disgust me. As members of the great Galactic Team who fight for lofty ideals, we should eliminate all fighting among colleagues, no matter what the reason is. That's why I hate this world. How wonderful it would be if all of humanity died." Akari's voice was sometimes loud and deafening, and sometimes soft, like the muttering of a damp anti-humanist.

However, the members of Team Galactic did not doubt Akatsuki. A common thought emerged in their minds: their actions had completely disappointed Lord Akatsuki.

Seeing the Galaxy Team members remain silent, Akari twitched his lips into an ugly smile: "It's alright. As the leader, it was my dereliction of duty to fail in managing you. I should apologize to you. Hmm, that should be acceptable."

A-Jia knelt down before Chi-Ri with a thud, tears welling in his eyes. He slapped his own face mercilessly, the slaps making a loud thud: "Lord Chi-Ri, we know we were wrong. We shouldn't have fought for any reason. We were so ugly and disgusting."

Chi Ri quickly grabbed A Jia's hand: "Going forward shouldn't be about punishing yourself for past mistakes, but about looking to the future. Of course, it would be best if you didn't show up in front of me."

A-Jia's eyes widened suddenly, trembling. After a brief moment of stunned silence, he seemed to have made up his mind: "I understand, Lord Chi Ri, I know what to do."

Without saying a word, A-Jia burst through the conference room door and rushed out.

"Darkrai, follow him, to prevent him from doing anything foolish."

Seeing that A-Jia was acting strangely, Wei Xin, who had changed his appearance and was hiding in the corner, quickly spoke up. Darkrai didn't ask any more questions and followed along the shadows in the corner. Wei Xin then started recording.

Darkrai chased after Aja and slipped into the elevator. He raised his hand and created a dark hole, causing Aja to go black and faint. The elevator eventually stopped on the top floor of the hotel. Next to the metal door was the staircase leading to the rooftop.

Darkrai looked down at the despairing Aja on the ground, crossed his arms, shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Pyramid schemes are really harmful. Don't you Sinnoh people use the national anti-fraud app?"

In the conference room, Chi Ri looked bewildered: "What did he understand? Oh well, it doesn't matter. One less person means one less source of noise. Anyway, spare parts are just for consumption; we can have as many as we want."

Hearing Chi Ri's mutterings, everyone in the conference room was slightly taken aback. Today, Lord Chi Ri seemed a little different.

"Alright, everyone, please take your seats. It seems I need to reiterate our Galactic Team's great ideals to you all once again—what was the first sentence of the speech again? Oh, we live a difficult life in this imperfect world. Let's get straight to the point and avoid any mistakes."

Although they were puzzled, everyone suppressed their thoughts and remained silent as the speech was about to begin, listening to Chi Ri's impassioned speech on stage. Only Huo Xing, standing at the edge of the stage, had a cold expression and a trace of sadness in his heart.

Lord Akatsuki, in your eyes, are the Galactic Team's companions just a bunch of parts that can be replaced and discarded at will?

During the speech, many people drank water from the table because the meeting room was stuffy. Whenever the speech reached a climax, they couldn't help but exclaim in admiration because of their excitement.

Darkrai returned to Wei Xin's shadow.

"How is A-Jia?" Wei Xin asked.

"He's sleeping soundly, with several layers of sleep on him. He probably won't wake up until tomorrow," Darkrai said telepathically.

"In conclusion, the only one capable of changing this unpleasant world is me, Akari—" Akari raised his hands at the end of his speech, paused for a moment, and the crowd was slightly stunned before he continued, "And to everyone in Team Galactic, as long as we unite as one, we will surely lead the world forward!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was invigorated, their eyes gleaming with fervor. They raised their hands and shouted in unison, "Long live Lord Akatsuki! Long live Team Galactic's ideals! For a perfect new world!"

The people below were buzzing with discussion.

"Lord Akari's speech today was more moving than ever before; it was a genuine outpouring of emotion. I had thought that Lord Akari's ideals were just a deception. I am truly ashamed of Lord Akari's cultivation."

"What do you mean by 'showing true feelings'? This is Lord Chiri's true nature! Lord Chiri will always be so selfless, tolerant, and possess such leadership talent! We can never repay Lord Chiri's kindness!!!"

"I'm so happy to be able to join Team Galactic! Can I leave Eastworld and go to Sinnoh with you guys?"

"Of course, our Galaxy Team welcomes all like-minded people, you damned Eastern Huang bastard."

"I wonder how Ah Jia is doing. I hope he won't really do something stupid."

Mars finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were just replaceable parts in Lord Red Sun's eyes, at least Lord Red Sun and the Galactic Team's ideals were sincere and passionate.

"Wei Xin, what should we do? Your plan seems to have backfired. Will the effects of the truth serum wear off?" Darkrai said with some concern.

"What's the rush?" Wei Xin, who had been tormented by meetings of his superiors in his past life and knew the meeting procedures by heart, sneered. "What just ended was just the leader's speech. There's a Q&A session afterward. Listen to me, do this first, then do that."

"OK! You've got a lot of bad ideas, haven't you?" Darkrai chuckled from the shadows.

After a passionate speech, Chi Ri felt parched. He loosened his tie and turned on the bottle of purified water in front of him.

He gulped it down, and while it cooled him down, it also soothed his throat, making him feel refreshed. He continued, "This water tastes pretty good. Okay, now if anyone has any questions, feel free to ask. You guys better shut up and not waste my energy and time."

???

The Galaxy team members were stunned, and a murmur arose from the audience.

"Should I ask or not?"

"Is Lord Akari a little tired?"

"No, I have to go find A-Jia right now! What if he really does something stupid?! Aaaaaaah!!!"

A sharp scream suddenly came from the conference room. Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a gruesome face. It was the person who had been fighting with A-Jia.

Chi Ri smiled and said, "Wow, someone actually dares to ask a question. I remember your name is Axi, right? Please tell me your question."

Axi froze, her mouth trembling uncontrollably: "My problem, my problem, I—"

In his terror and confusion, he heard a voice in his mind, and his mouth involuntarily repeated the words: "Lord Akari, is your ideal real? Will there be a place for us in the new world you speak of?"

"What a stupid question! How dare you question Lord Akatsuki and the Galactic Team's ideals!"

The audience erupted in skepticism.

"Of course." Chi Ri coughed, smiled, and answered without hesitation.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. How could Lord Akari possibly betray his fellow members of Team Galactic?

You're scaring yourself.

Immediately afterwards, Chi Ri spoke.

"Of course I'm lying to you. I am going to create a new world, but it's not for Team Galactic, it's for myself. Otherwise, the world won't be perfect. Every second I spend with you insects makes me nauseous. No matter what, even if you guys unite, it won't make any difference. You're just good-for-nothings."

"They're all a bunch of useless trash."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of all the Team Galactic members in the entire venue widened, their mouths agape, their pupils trembling, and countless distinct faces bore the same expression of terror.

They exclaimed in unison, "Lord Akari, what are you talking about?!"
