Gray Stone told Mai that he was going to meet up with old friends and catch up on old times, but both Luther and Mai knew that he just came to Galar secretly.
Gray Stone was deeply worried about Luther's trip to Galar. During a conversation with him, Luther learned about the world from his perspective.
Pessimism is Luther's only evaluation of Gray Stone's view of the world.
But Luther can also understand this pessimism. After all, Gray Stone, who has experienced too many things and has been fighting the dark side for most of his life, has become somewhat depressed.
So when Luther left the island, he also ran out uneasy.
The call to Greystone is OK.
The old man didn't stop calling completely just because he was pretending to go out and reminisce about old times. This was something Luther was very happy about, because the old man still knew very well how anxious he would be if Qidao couldn't find him.
After the call was connected, the old man's noisy voice flooded in, bargaining, and the whispers of pedestrians kept ringing in Luther's ears.
"Where are you, old man?" Luther asked jokingly, "Mai said you were going to meet an old friend to reminisce about old times. Did you end up in Galar?"
Gray Stone coughed and explained calmly: "I'm having dinner with a few friends in Fengyuan. Is there anything urgent you want to see me for now?"
Luther suppressed his laughter.
On the other end of the phone, I could clearly hear voices selling local products from Galar, and I could also hear the broadcast of the tournament results. Among the din, there was even the frustrated roar of the trainer who lost the game.
When did Hoenn become part of Galar?
"Old man, you must be in Galar."
"Don't talk nonsense, I'm really in Fengyuan." Gray Stone explained urgently.
"It would be a pity if you are really in Fengyuan." Luther said, "I am planning to eradicate some people's illegal activities. I originally wanted to ask you to do this together."
"You also know that those who are involved in black industry will be good people, and there is a high probability that they will be associated with the word "evil"..."
"Old man, I am your professional counterpart."
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Luther didn't say anything, but when he heard someone selling maltose on the other side of Gray Stone, he smiled and said, "Mari Luli and I are greedy, so why don't you bring some maltose over here."
"You should know where I live. I don't need to say more. Mariluli and I are waiting for you to eat sweets. Hurry up."
Because Shijana and Acerola were both out competing, Luther and Kesi were the only ones in the hotel suite.
Hearing the sound of the doorbell ringing, Kesi watched with nostalgia the heroic appearance of Xijana defeating her opponent on TV, and came to the door.
Through the peephole, Kesi was startled.
A burly man wearing a white shirt, whose muscles were about to burst the buttons, was pressing his face against the cat's eye and peering in.
Kong Wu's powerful left hand holds a stick filled with candied haws, and his right hand carries a large cloth bag, just like an old man returning home from shopping for groceries, or a hawker walking down the street.
If hawkers and old men had his physique...
"You...who are you?"
Kesi subconsciously stretched out his hand to press the door, but when he thought of Luther playing with Miaomiao and the others in the room, he suddenly felt that his worries and fears were unnecessary, and he felt confident.
"A boy? You are the boy named Kexi whom Luther wants to bring back to Qidao, right?"
Kexi was startled when he was called and slowly opened the door.
"Are you... Shijana said that you can crush rocks with your bare hands, and even punch through rocks with your strength?"
Gray Stone was amused by Kexi's words.
"Shijana is setting me up again. It's too exaggerated. How can someone crush gravel with bare hands? It's also what she said nonsense about being able to break through stone. I'm not that scary."
Upon entering the suite, Gray Stone was shocked by the luxury and spaciousness of the room.
The high hanging crystal chandelier, the expensive drinks in the refrigerator, and all kinds of furniture...
Luther stuck his head out of the room with Miao Miao, whose face was red from being rubbed, and said with a smile: "I thought you would wait until tomorrow because you were confused."
Gray Stone blushed in embarrassment: "Am I that kind of person?"
Seeing Mali Luli's head, Gray Stone immediately took out the packaged maltose and opened the lid.
Looking at the golden maltose, Mariluli couldn't bear it any longer. She swooped down and slid on the smooth ground for a short distance before hugging Gray Stone's bag directly.
Mariluli, who dived into the pile of maltose, was no longer too lazy to care about others. She made slurping sounds one after another, and she seemed to be enjoying her meal very much.
"You also bought candied haws on a stick. I haven't eaten this for a long time. I didn't expect it to be available here."
Luther said, reaching out and taking one, taking a bite. When he saw Miao Miao looking at him, he became mischievous and deliberately put the candied haws to Miao Miao's mouth, and then when she said "ah" and bit it down, he immediately
Take it away.
Twice in a row, after seeing Miaomiao's aggrieved face, Luther hugged her and fed her himself.
Gray Stone was relieved to see Luther in such good condition. He sat comfortably on the sofa and smiled with satisfaction as he watched Luther and the elves share the small gifts he had brought.
"I didn't expect you to live in such a luxurious suite. In the past, you could just set up a tent." Gray Stone said.
"This matter cannot be solved in a day or two. I am ready for a long-term battle." Luther said with a smile, "It was before. Now that I am capable, I will never treat myself and the elves badly."
"Old man, you have been working hard for too long, and you don't seem to be used to enjoying it occasionally."
Hui Shi did not continue to entangle with this topic. He couldn't help but ask: "I came here because you said you wanted to uproot other people's black property. Now I just want to know whose black property it is, and who is the black property between them and you."
What happened?"
Luther said: "I don't know whose crime it is. As for what happened between them and me...it's nothing. They just threatened to do something to me and the people around me."
The comfort of the sofa had already soothed Hui Shi's tense body. When Luther said this, he sat up straight and his eyes became sharp and menacing.
Luther had long been accustomed to such gray stone, but this was the first time for Kexi to see gray stone.
In his opinion, at this moment, Gray Stone's whole body was filled with a chill, which made people feel frightened.
"People from the Galar Alliance are causing trouble?" Gray Stone asked.
As soon as Luther heard this question, he knew what Gray Stone had done after coming to Galar. He pretended not to notice and said: "It has nothing to do with them. They are a group of bastard bookmakers who want to find me to manipulate the game for profit."
Hearing this, Hui Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but then said seriously: "Just leave such people to me. You don't need to do anything. You can complete the commission with peace of mind, get a good ranking in the championship, and then quickly return to Qidao."
It’s a big deal.”
After receiving the ice water from Gardevoir, Luther handed it to Gray Stone with both hands and said, "No, this time I will take action with you."
Gray Stone said in confusion: "Although I don't know how you will complete the commission, I can feel that you have made the Galar Alliance very nervous. Shouldn't you strike while the iron is hot and tear off all their fig leaves?"
"Old man, I can't explain to you now why my playing frequency has dropped recently and I only play one game a day."
"I don't want to explain why I suddenly had the idea of wiping out these black products, but..."
Luther sat next to Gray Stone and said with a smile: "You just need to know that I am sure that everything I do is correct and the situation will eventually be beneficial to me."
"And...Old man, deep down in your heart you long to do something, right?"
Luther looked directly into Gray Stone's sharp eyes like falcons. After a while, Gray Stone looked away and sighed.
A dull life is naturally what Hui Shi hopes for, but there is still a fire in his heart.
This fire is the sense of justice that has been poured into this body over the years, and its opposite...the violent spirit of Gray Stone.
Gray Stone once told Luther that he hated all the evil in the world because of his brother's death.
He also admitted that he joined Interpol not only to protect ordinary people, but also to personally destroy those scum.
Qidao gave him the ordinary life he dreamed of, but when he dreamed about it at midnight, he could still think of everything he had done as an Interpol police officer in the past.
That kind of passion and blood, that kind of heroism and bravery make Gray Stone eager to try.
He is a person who expects to be ordinary, but he is also a person who refuses to accept old age and is eager for challenges.
Luther is under pressure and Gray Stone is restraining it. If that's the case, just don't control it and just release it.
"Old man, the last time we fought together was against a rabble, right?"
"I wasn't in front that time, so I couldn't see your heroic demeanor in dealing with those people. Are you really not going to show off your skills this time?"
Hui Shi clenched his fists and raised the corners of his mouth.
"It doesn't matter...if you want to fool around, I'll just stay with you."
Luther marked the distribution information of black goods given to him by Kojiro on the map of Galar, and listed various categories of black goods.
Piracy, underground gambling, underground elf battles, fake and shoddy production lines, overseas smuggling...
Kojiro even found the location of the group of people who threatened Luther that day.
Gray Stone was dumbfounded.
"How did Kojiro get this information?"
This kind of information gathering ability is top-notch even among Interpol and the Alliance.
In the past, Hui Shi only thought that the trio were business experts. Luther had a sharp eye and found a group of talents for Qidao, and also cultivated a huge money bag.
Now it seems that this is not a business master, but a god.
From doing business, making handicrafts, repairing machinery, and now searching and collecting information, is there anything they can't do?
Luther smiled and shook his finger: "Don't ask how you got it. All you need is to believe in them and give them enough encouragement and rewards, and they will reward you."
Thanks to Sakaki, for having such a useful trio, you can leave them to do dirty work, all kinds of thankless marginal tasks that don't show their strength.
If this were not the case, it would not be so easy to poach yourself, and how would you feel so comfortable now?
I hope you can continue to escape when Interpol is chasing you. After all, Luther heard some strong news before setting off that someone in Team Rocket was an insider and decided to abandon the secret and turn to the bright side.
Sakaki, who has given up his own business several times in a row, may have to "cut off his beard and abandon his robe" next.
If you are Sakaki in the special episode...then I think Interpol is just giving away food.
I think Interpol is useless if Mewtwo is in your hands.
But it's not the case, and the Interpol headed by the handsome guy is now extremely powerful... Sakaki can really only ask for his own blessings.
Back to the map, although Kojiro's distribution map is not complete, after all, his business time is limited, and many more secretive things cannot be found out, but it is enough for Luther and Gray Stone to operate.
As for who should be trained first, Luther and Gray Stone have the same opinion.
The man who had threatened Luther stayed for the time being until they had warmed up with a black man, and then paid a visit.
After some screening, they decided to directly remove the marked underground Elf Colosseum.
Compared with regular battles, the elves here will not receive any attention from their trainers, but instead urge them to engage in brutal duels with scars.
If you win the game, it's okay, but if you lose the game, you will be abandoned in the wild.
When Sijana and Acerola returned home, before they had time to report the good news of today's game, they saw Gray Stone and Luther talking.
The excited Xijana jumped directly behind Gray Stone and started massaging him.
"You are good at your skills. You have been manipulated by your master a lot during this time, right?"
Shijana smiled and said: "That's not true, I just imitated Gardevoir's technique."
While massaging, Shijana inquired and begged: "When you come to Galar this time, you must go with the master to fight illegal births, right? Take me with you, take me with you!"
Being shaken by Xijana, Hui Shi's mouth was very tight and he would not let go at all.
After all, no matter how lightly he and Luther talked about this matter, it would still be risky, and he was not at ease letting Sijana go with him.
"Actually, I originally planned to let you and Acerola go and see it."
Luther's words shocked Hui Shi. Hui Shi wanted to say something but Luther reached out to stop him.
"Shijana will definitely meet all kinds of people and all kinds of things when she embarks on her journey in the future."
"Travel is like this. You can meet countless kind people, and you can also meet scum who suck the blood of these kind people."
"Let Sijana and Acellora see more of the scenery on that side now. It will also be good for future travels." Luther said, "Old man, Sijana is considered to be half an apprentice who has learned your skills. What do you think of her?"
It’s inappropriate to be so worried.”
"It's time for Acerola to see more things in reality. No matter how much you read, it's only on paper. Putting down the books and going out to experience the world is the right way."
Acerola nodded to Luther's teachings.
The excited Shijana geared up: "Master, when will we do it?"
"It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, so tonight is the best." Luther said, "I think the underground casino and Colosseum next to the amusement park on the outskirts of Jiqing City is very good, and it feels good to use it as an appetizer.
"
"Tonight we are not just trainers, we also have a loud and nice identity."
