706. Windfall
"Move quickly and let your elves take action quickly!"
"The bunch of trash above can't hold on for long. If you still want to run away, hurry up!"
Baker directed the Skeleton Team's men to quickly move the things out of the basement darkroom, while he was demolishing the dark wall.
Baker was not on Melemele Island at the time and did not participate in the provocation against Luther. Some time had passed since he was notified that Guzma had collapsed.
He was not willing to let the Skeleton Team fall apart, but organized the remaining members to gather together and start the election of a new leader.
Without the suppression of Bull's beauty, he succeeded in ascending to the throne, but before his butt was even hot, someone came to kill him.
If it were the police, Baker could still use the conditions of arrest to play word games with the police, but instead he was an unreasonable person who beat him as soon as he came up without any intention of talking about it.
He couldn't win. Although he only saw a girl fighting against his subordinates, the scene was completely one-sided.
This demeanor of being in a deserted place frightened Baker, and he couldn't help but think of Guzma's fate.
Just kidding, he is the leader just for fun and enjoys the pleasure of controlling a group of people, but he is not responsible for this group of people.
Why are you so unlucky before you even start enjoying it?
Baker had no intention of personally commanding the Skeleton Team to engage in the battle. The only real option was to let the cannon fodder attract attention while he could escape safely.
The two wooden doors in the basement were shattered into sawdust. The moment the sawdust was still flying in the air, someone recognized Luther through the dim light.
"It was him, he was the one who defeated Boss Guzma!"
This sentence made the eight or nine people who were busy suddenly startled. They looked at Luther holding Acerola's hand and walking into the basement, as if they had seen a ghost.
The nearest tunnel is two rooms away, and Luther is already blocking the way.
"There's nowhere to run, let's fight!" Baker decided to encourage everyone to take action.
However, no one moved. The members of Team Skeleton actually raised their hands in a tacit agreement, released the Poké Ball in their hands, and then slowly squatted down, not daring to raise their heads.
"Did you say you wanted to fight?"
Baker suddenly realized that he was the only one who was still stuck like a log.
Darkrai and Gardevoir were very dissatisfied that their intimidation power could not overwhelm everyone. Just as they were about to step forward to have a close contact with Baker, Baker threw away the Poké Ball and joined the crouching defense army.
"Darkrai, give them a nightmare meal." Having no time to pay attention to this group of people, Luther chose to leave it to Junsha and the others.
Passing around the fallen Skeleton Team members, Luther began to examine the various objects dropped on the ground.
"There are so many elf balls, are there any elves in them?"
Acerola casually opened a poke ball, and a charming cat came out, looking around blankly.
"Either the Skeleton Team randomly captured them in the wild, or they grabbed them from nowhere." Luther took a look and asked Gardevoir to gather all the Poke Balls first.
"Really, Charming Cat doesn't seem to have any reaction to the people here, but it is very affectionate to Acerola." Acerola petted the cat excitedly.
Luther dug into the pockets of these people and found out the belongings they had stuffed into their pockets when they fled.
He originally thought it would be okay if he could just get some banknotes, but when Luther took out a shimmering, thumb-sized gem, he had a different view.
After digging through several people's pockets, they all found something, either strange-shaped gems or small particles of gold.
When Acerola picked up a few pearls on the ground and Gardevoir found a piece of gold that was dull and not so pure from behind a half-covered dark wall, Luther was dumbfounded.
"Team Skeleton robbed the vault?"
"Acerola has never heard of the news that banks, gem merchants, and vaults in Alola were robbed." Acerola asked Gardevoir to pull the candle closer and looked at the brick-sized piece of gold seriously.
"This color seems to have been buried in the soil for too long, or has been soaked in sea water." Aselola tried hard to judge with her book knowledge. "There were many records of shipwrecks in the sea near here in ancient times.
Maybe it was salvaged by the Skeleton Team."
Walking through the hidden wall used by the Skeleton Team to hide things, it was very stuffy inside because of the lack of air circulation.
Gardevoir said that when she entered just now, the gold bricks fell at the door.
The other objects in the room behind the dark wall may be of low value or too heavy, so the members of the Skeleton Team did not choose to carry them first.
But there is no need for them to move it.
The bottom layer of the box that was knocked open by the Skeleton Team looked like hay used to pad the goods, but due to the passage of time, it had long since turned into powder, and the goods inside were therefore wrapped in the dust.
But it doesn't matter, Luther doesn't care, and he believes those who like gold don't care either.
Luther was mesmerized by the bright gold, pieces and pieces.
Damn, is this paradise?
I don’t know why, but some of the gold is in the shape of gold beans, some is in the form of gold bricks, and some have no specific shape at all, so the box is packed to the brim.
It was similar to what Acerola said, but it was not the Skeleton Team who found these sunken objects. They were most likely treasures left behind by the previous owners of this mansion.
The secret room behind the dark wall was filled with dust. Just taking a few steps would cause dust to rise before my eyes.
There were two wooden boxes that were nailed shut, both about the same size as Mariluli. The baffles used to seal them were already very crisp. Luther reached out and squeezed them, and he was able to remove a lot of sawdust.
It didn't look like the Skeleton Team had salvaged it, nor did they act like they knew there was a treasure here.
If he had known earlier, Guzma would have probably used it to party and get high, and he would not be able to stay now.
When Baker woke up from his nightmare, Luther kept begging for mercy before he opened his mouth. There was no such thing as backbone.
When asked about the contents of the secret room behind the dark wall, Baker's words relieved Luther's doubts.
This mansion has been the base of the Skeleton Team for some time. Because the Skeleton Team usually dispersed their activities, they just used it as a place to stay and did not explore it carefully.
Coincidentally, half a brick of the old darkroom wall was broken in the afternoon. Driven by curiosity, they entered it and opened a box.
The dream of converting the gold into cash and reorganizing the Skeleton Team had not lasted more than two hours when Luther knocked on the door.
"Don't let me..." Baker didn't want to have any more nightmares, but Darkrai didn't care so much. Seeing him lying on the ground twitching, Luther took a deep breath.
