The door to the room was gently pushed open, and a smart and capable middle-aged man in a suit poked his head out. Under Dan Emperor's gaze, he walked in with a smile and the woman beside him.
Misaki was frightened when someone appeared in the room again. She grabbed Luther's sleeves hard, as if she wanted to avoid something.
How proud the old nobles were before, Roz is just as proud now.
Once the right to speak in the Galar Alliance changed hands, even though he was not the chairman of the Galar Alliance in name, anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was only a matter of time.
Luther didn't think he would come to visit Misaki. After all, Misaki was the sinner who almost caused his plan to go bankrupt.
"Luther, can we talk?"
Sure enough, Roz got straight to the point as soon as he arrived.
Knowing that the matter behind this might be related to the Sinnoh Alliance, Luther coaxed Misaki to let go and let Acerola and Sirona try to communicate with Misaki, while he followed Roz out of the door.
Hui Shi followed Luther closely and accompanied a few people to the edge of a small lake near the orphanage.
"Olivier, please stay away first."
"Grey Stone, just wait for me here."
The two of them had a tacit understanding and asked their followers to leave their side, deliberately creating a one-to-one conversation environment.
"I thought you would look older, but now you look very young."
Luther did not mean to compliment Roz. Roz looked really young. If he shaved his beard cleanly and changed his hairstyle, he would definitely be worthy of the title of handsome young man.
Moreover, Rozi's eyes were very sharp. Among the many people Luther came into contact with, the only one who could compare with Rozi's sharp eyes was A'Du in serious mode.
"Thank you for the compliment, but you can't lie about your age. There's really no comparison between me and you young people."
"But young people can't do such powerful operations as you. The sky has changed in Galar, right?"
"It's just the cycle of history."
Roz had no idea of exaggerating his achievements. The reincarnation of history seemed to dilute all the scheming. He was just a person who adapted to the changes of the times.
"Our communication with Sinnoh is about to begin. Although I know that your goal may have been achieved and you will not mess around, please save some face for the new Galar Alliance and be careful."
Luther, a man who was eager to return home, never thought about causing trouble. Now that the Galar Alliance is willing to bow his head, his purpose of coming to Galar can be considered achieved.
Looking at the trip to Galar, all the things he did, and everything that happened in the past two months, Luther still had the illusion that he was in a dream.
If I wasn't facing Misaki, maybe this ending would be more perfect.
Looking at the sparkling lake, Luther, who was depressed because of Misaki, showed some joy.
"Luther, have you ever thought about becoming a member of the Galar Alliance?"
The words were light and easy, and Roz's words were also very calm, but when they fell in Luther's ears, they were like thunder.
After a long while, he burst out laughing and said, "You know I have an island, but you still ask me this?"
"Qidao is just an island. The Sinnoh Alliance has not given you much help. The construction of the island is entirely up to you."
"If you are willing to join the Galar Alliance, I am willing to help you rebuild a new island. You provide ideas, and the Galar Alliance provides funds and personnel."
"After the island is built, you will be the actual manager. You, like Masted, are the owners of the island. We have no right to interfere with the affairs of the island."
What a lot of courage.
Roz, who had just taken power, immediately showed his thirst for talent.
Luther's performance in the championship made Roz realize that his status as a trainer would be greatly improved because of Luther.
Single-handedly forcing Galar to bow his head and turning the top management upside down, this kind of tyrannical strength and operation had never been done before by Luther.
In the past, champions and kings were unable to move due to stance issues. From now on, every alliance will inevitably regard cultivating shadow trainers who are not related to the alliance as an important matter to prepare for.
Roz foresaw this possibility, so he did not hesitate to give him the treatment he could.
In his opinion, Luther and Dandi are both rare trainers and treasures in the hands of the alliance.
Luther didn't want Roz to have any unnecessary illusions, so he replied succinctly: "Sorry, I don't plan to join any alliance."
"Of course, I will not let you join the Galar Alliance. I just hope that you will be biased towards us." Roz smiled slightly, "Just like you are biased towards Sinnoh now."
Luther shook his head: "You are wrong, I mean, I do not intend to participate in politics."
Roz still did not give up and continued to persuade: "We can make concessions on all issues related to you. You only need to run your own island."
The polite smile on Luther's face disappeared. He looked at Roz's seemingly sincere but actually cunning eyes and spoke indifferently.
"Then one day, you will find ways to send me out to replicate what happened in Galar today on other people's territory?"
"Loz, please speak more frankly. I am not an Alchemy Emperor. I am not comfortable with a region, and I don't have much of a mentality of being responsible for a region. Therefore, I can see many things that Alchemy Emperor cannot."
"All the gifts you give me may be shackles in the future. You know it and I know it too." Luther's eyes turned cold. "I advise you not to play word games. Maybe you will think you are smart, but...I
Hate this kind of cleverness."
Roz was stunned for a moment. Even though he was so directly reprimanded by Luther, he could still keep the smile on his face. It can only be said that people who can reach this position are not easy.
Not to mention that Roz worked his way up from the bottom.
"You are right, I was abrupt, but I still say what I said, I sincerely hope you will 'bias' towards the Galar Alliance."
"You, Emperor Dan, are both rare and excellent trainers. Your excellence will surely make future generations appreciate the splendor of this era."
"I once fantasized about the two of you working together to achieve a goal. Now that I see you and Dan Emperor being so close, this idea has appeared in my mind again."
"Luther, those nonsense words spoken by the senior officials of the Sinnoh Alliance against you will not disappear with the passage of time."
"As far as I know, most of the people who still support you are elderly people. Have you ever thought that after these people pass away and your connections are cut off, will the Sinnoh Alliance still be willing to favor you?"
"You said you didn't want to be involved. This trip to Galar...did you do it voluntarily?"
Roz's smile was meaningful.
It has to be said that Roz is very good at persuading people. Even Luther, who has long considered Qidao as the most important part of his life, couldn't help but tremble in his heart when he heard this.
The beautiful vision of cooperation with Dandi, the temptation of being unconditionally supported by the Galar Alliance, and the crises that I may encounter in the future.
When Roz explained the three things clearly and concisely at the same time, Luther was really shaken.
But…
"It's a pity that I still said what I said. My home is in Qidao. I just want to go home and don't want to change my home."
"It's not impossible to reproduce Qidao in the same proportion."
Luther smiled and waved his hand. Roz, who understood the atmosphere, also knew that he should not continue to ask questions now, so he smiled and stopped what he was about to say.
Luther, who deliberately changed the subject, looked at the small courtyard in the distance, his expression a little gloomy, and asked: "Will Misaki be held accountable by the alliance?"
Dan Didu said that he might transfer Misaki to Armor Island, which naturally proved that Roz and him might have reached an agreement. Luther asked now because he just wanted reassurance.
"Not many people know about the leaked information, and the leaked information actually just makes opponents relax their vigilance, so I have no intention of pursuing it."
Luther breathed a sigh of relief, wished the talks with Sinnoh a success, and then turned around and walked into the yard.
He was about to reach Gray Stone and the moment he passed Olivia, a chill crawled from Luther's back to the back of his head.
In the blink of an eye, he recalled all kinds of details in his mind. When that guess came to mind, he felt weak at his feet.
Fortunately, the gray stone blocked his body, and Roz, who was still watching him, could not see him staggering and almost falling.
"Go faster."
Luther's words made the hair on Gray Stone's body stand up, and all his strength was mobilized, ready to deal with possible situations at any time.
After returning to the yard, Gray Stone noticed nothing unusual and looked at Luther in confusion, only to find that Luther suddenly covered his face with a ferocious expression and gritted his teeth.
Luther slapped himself hard, then tried to calm down and walked into Misaki's ward.
Misaki is interacting with Sirona in the video, and she seems to be very interested in the shiny mobile phone.
Seeing Dandi looking at Misaki's silence with a guilty look on his face, Luther naturally asked: "Actually, Qidao is more suitable for Misaki to take care of her. Sirona is also there. How about letting me take Misaki back to Qidao?"
"
Gray Stone, Acerola, and Shijana's eyes widened.
Even though Misaki went crazy earlier, Luther still had a certain amount of resentment towards Misaki.
In Luther's view, Misaki's previous sins due to her character flaws cannot be offset by the fact that she is crazy and pitiful.
There is cause and effect, but that's it.
Therefore, he could easily say that maybe it would be a good thing for Misaki to go crazy.
But why did Luther suddenly change his gender?
Dan Emperor was not suspicious, he just thought it was caused by the conversation between Luther and Sirona and Luther's soft heart.
"Okay, now that things have settled down in Galar, I will probably have some time to travel, and then I can also go to Sushima to see how Misaki is doing."
After deciding this matter, Luther walked out and asked the escort here if there was any room available. He wanted to make a call.
Following the cooperative guidance, Luther came to a quiet courtyard.
With Darkrai on guard, Luther was not afraid of being spied on or eavesdropped at all. He punched the wall in front of him, and the excruciating pain could not stop him from throwing a second punch.
Hui Shi, who was doubtful about Luther's condition, walked in shortly after. Seeing this scene, he strode forward and hugged Luther.
"What are you doing? Your hands are bleeding. Why do you have to hurt yourself?"
Luther was breathing heavily and his eyes were red. After a long time, he covered his face with one hand and sat down slumped.
Gray Stone rarely sees Luther like this. Even when he faced Dieffenbachia, Luther never acted like this.
"Old man... I may know who is driving Misaki to a desperate end."
"Who!" Gray Stone understood the anger and unwillingness in Luther's words, and immediately got angry.
"I'm so naive. I obviously know that this is a political confrontation, and I know that fighting for power and profit will be very cynical..."
"Obviously Grandma Xizhu reminded me... but I just forgot."
"Okay, that's great. You can turn your hands into clouds and rain. As for the pebbles at hand, if it makes the other party suspicious, why not just throw them away?"
"Is this the calmness of a wise man who will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal?"
"Loz, fuck you!"
Luther suppressed his roar, his deep voice was like a wild beast.
"Not many people know about the leaked information, and the leaked information actually just makes opponents relax their vigilance, so I have no intention of pursuing it."
"Hahahahahaha."
No wonder Rozi dared to hand over such important material to the extremely honest Dan Emperor in advance, and even took it home without any worries.
Emperor Dan didn't participate in the meeting, so he didn't need to know so many details. What he needed was to exert pressure as the leader of the trainers.
But Emperor Dan was given a piece of material by Roz and asked to take it home. Then Misaki contacted the old nobles and saw the material. He reported it to the old nobles and asked them to prepare.
Rozi told Dandi that he didn't have to worry because he had a backup plan.
Of course, there’s no need to worry, because what was leaked before was nothing more than harmless leftovers!
Let the old nobles think that they can't catch the sore feet, then relax their vigilance and celebrate their victory, and then use their killing moves to catch them all.
Roz knew that the old noble was taking advantage of Misaki. He did not remind Emperor Dan or warn Misaki. He immediately thought of how to maximize Misaki's value.
As for what will happen to Misaki, Roz doesn't care.
He knew that Emperor Dan cared about Misaki, but he still didn't care.
If the old noble's use of Misaki was just for teasing, then Roz's use was to kill her hope of finally coming back.
It takes a lot of courage for a person to convince herself to do something undecided. If Misaki hadn't seen the material, she might eventually fall back to reason and make the right decision.
But Roz picked up the shovel and covered Misaki with the last handful of loess with a smile.
What he cares about is that Misaki gave him the opportunity to completely overthrow the old nobles and form a bargaining chip for his victory.
As for Misaki, is her fate important?
If Roz hadn't spoken quickly, Luther wouldn't have woken up. At most, he would have felt that something was wrong.
Roz was shrewd, and he acted impeccably without showing off his tricks. Luther had no evidence and could only be said to be suspicious.
Even if Luther determines that Roz is the person behind everything, what can he do?
He now has great power and is proud of himself.
Luther wanted to know whether Roz, even if he had not traveled through time, was still a person who would do whatever it took to achieve his goals.
Is such a person good or bad to Galar?
He doesn't know and doesn't want to know.
At this moment, he hates politics and this ugly game that treats people as pawns and throws them out for sacrifice without any scruples.
Yes, Misaki is at fault. She has character flaws and is a naive person.
She did something wrong and should be punished.
Luther admitted all this, but Misaki should never be treated as a pawn, manipulated wantonly, and end up going crazy.
Luther had never been so disgusted with everything in front of him.
Now, he just wants to take Misaki to Kalos, and then take Grandma Xizhu, who has just completed the operation, back to Qidao Island to live his own quiet life.
Whatever it is outside is dirty.
If you are willing to fight, if you are willing to rob, and if you are willing to cheat for that little bit of power, then go ahead and do it!
But before returning to Qi Island...
Luther wants to help Misaki get something from Galar.
