At around six o 'clock in the evening, the sun gradually set, and the sea was covered with a layer of blood-red sunset glow.
"Tell me, do you have any last words?"
Kaede Sato looked at the mysterious seller in front of him expressionlessly and said with a cold gaze. Then, he placed the sharp hunting knife in his hand on the other party's neck.
At this time, the other party was also injured, and blood was flowing out of his body. Even if Kaede Sato did not make a move, he would still die from continuous bleeding before long.
"Hmph, I, Hai Duo, am not as skilled as you. There's nothing much to say about falling into your hands. However, my actions this time only represent myself, and it has nothing to do with the Clown Sea Snake Gang. Do it."
The fox mask on the mysterious seller's face had already shattered, revealing a young face that was pale due to excessive blood loss. At this time, he was looking at Kaede Sato dejectedly. However, he was still very strong-willed and loyal before he died. He actually took the initiative to disassociate himself from the Clown Sea Snake Gang.
"Don't worry. Since the Clown Sea Snake Gang allowed me to leave the black market unscathed, I naturally know that this matter has nothing to do with them. These are all your personal actions, so I won't blame them."
Kaede Sato nodded when he heard that. However, when he looked at the other party, his gaze was not as cold as before.
Because the other party had taken the initiative to disassociate himself from the Clown Sea Snake Gang, Kaede Sato had a higher opinion of the Clown Sea Snake Gang member named Hai Duo.
The other party had a very good quality, and that was loyalty.
"…"
Hai Duo remained silent when he heard this. He closed his eyes and waited for Kaede Sato's butcher knife to fall.
However, after a minute, Kaede Sato's butcher knife still did not fall. This made Hai Duo feel very strange. He could not help but open his eyes, only to find that Kaede Sato had already put away his hunting knife.
"To be honest, I don't want to kill you. After all, we don't have any enmity between us. However, your foolish actions this time have made me very angry, and I have the urge to kill you. However, if you can answer some of my questions and satisfy me, I can let you pay a price to redeem your life."
Seeing Hai Duo open his eyes again, Kaede Sato, who was a little tense, said to him. However, at this time, Kaede Sato was looking at the nearby sea, intentionally or unintentionally.
In fact, it was not that Kaede Sato had chosen to let Hai Duo off because of his loyalty to the Clown Sea Snake Gang. However, he had encountered another huge problem at that moment.
Now, both the Swamp Monster and the Big-mouth Bat had their eyes fixed on the surface of the sea nearby, as if some terrifying enemy had appeared.
When Hai Duo loyally took the initiative to distance himself from the Clown Sea Snake Gang for the sneak attack on Kaede Sato, Kaede Sato suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.
When he noticed the movements of the Big-mouth Bat and the Swamp Monster, he knew that someone else might have arrived nearby. As for the other person, Kaede Sato did not need to guess to know that it was a powerhouse from the Clown Sea Snake Gang.
Obviously, this powerhouse from the Clown Sea Snake Gang had been lurking around, and the reason he came here was probably just to be safe. He did not bully the weak, and instead chose not to interfere in the battle between Kaede Sato and Hai Duo.
If Hai Duo won, he would naturally have nothing to do. However, if Hai Duo lost, he would have to silence him to prevent Hai Duo from doing anything detrimental to the Clown Sea Snake Gang.
As for why the other party chose to warn Kaede Sato now, Kaede Sato guessed that the other party might have seen the loyalty that Hai Duo had shown just now.
Hai Duo was not old, probably around 18 years old. He was an elite trainer at the age of 18.
Furthermore, he looked like a commoner, which meant that his strength was not bad. He was definitely a mainstay of a medium-sized gray organization like the Clown Sea Snake Gang.
Now, he had shown enough loyalty. Although he was a little impulsive, he was still a young man after all, and it was normal for him to be impulsive.
Therefore, Hai Duo could definitely be considered an outstanding talent. As long as he was nurtured a little, it was very likely that he would become the successor of the Clown Sea Snake Gang in the future.
For a leader, loyalty was more important than ability. As long as one was loyal enough, many things could be forgiven.
Now, it was precisely because of his loyalty that Hai Duo was forgiven by the powerhouse from the Clown Sea Snake Gang who was hiding nearby. Now, the powerhouse was secretly protecting him.
"What is it? As long as it's not related to the Clown Sea Snake Gang's secrets, I can tell you anything."
Hai Duo's brain was indeed not very bright, and his observation skills were not good either. He did not notice the abnormal actions of Kaede Sato and the two elves beside him. As soon as he heard that Kaede Sato might not kill him, he immediately spoke without thinking.
When Hai Duo said that, the sense of crisis in Kaede Sato's heart grew even stronger. However, he still braced himself and asked Hai Duo without changing his expression.
In fact, Kaede Sato's question was very simple, and it did not involve any secrets of the Clown Sea Snake Gang. It was about what the members of the Rocket Team had been doing in the black market in the mountains recently.
It would be impossible for Kaede Sato to say that he was not curious about this question. Now that the opportunity to satisfy his curiosity had arrived, he naturally had to ask.
When Hai Duo heard Kaede Sato's question, a trace of anger appeared in his eyes. However, when he thought about how he was now a prisoner, his anger quickly dimmed again.
Then, he began to tell Sato Kaede the whole story in full detail. During the narration, he seemed to be gnashing his teeth in anger.
'F * ck, no wonder the people from the Clown Sea Snake Gang hate the people from the Rocket Team so much. It turns out that someone stole billions from them.'
After Sato Kaede learned the truth of the matter from Hai Duo, he couldn't help but think in shock.
It turned out that not long ago, when Hai Duo and a few other members of the Clown Sea Snake Gang were chasing after a Water Elf, they coincidentally found an ancient shipwreck at the bottom of the sea nearby. They also found a lot of treasures in this shipwreck.
However, among these treasures, the most precious ones were a keystone and a Mega Evolution Stone. The person who found the keystone and the Mega Evolution Stone was Hai Duo.
At that time, Hai Duo and a few other members of the Clown Sea Snake Gang divided the windfall.
Of course, Hai Duo was a trainer from a civilian background, so he naturally did not know what the keystone and the Mega Evolution Stone were.
In the beginning, Hai Duo only treated them as ordinary treasures, so he directly put them on the stall with some other ordinary treasures to sell.
At that moment, a few members of the Rocket Team who were passing by the black market in the mountains discovered the keystone and the Mega Evolution Stone mixed with the ordinary treasures on Hai Duo's stall. They then began to rush to buy them.
Hai Duo was quite shrewd in doing business. Seeing that the members of the Rocket Team were rushing to buy the two stones with colorful spiral stripes inside, he chose not to buy them. He wanted to take them to be appraised before selling them.
However, Hai Duo's actions immediately caused strong dissatisfaction among the members of the Rocket Team, and a fierce conflict began between the two sides.
Kaede Sato knew the value of the keystone and the Mega Evolution Stone. A pair of them could be worth at least a few billion yuan.
If the corresponding elves of the Mega Evolution Stone were elves like the Land Shark, Tyrannosaurus, and Lucario, the value would be several times higher.
If it was Kaede Sato at that time, he would probably be jealous of the keystone and the Mega Evolution Stone. It was not impossible for him to choose to take the risk.
At that time, the members of the Rocket Team became jealous and chose to take the risk. Then, the members of the Rocket Team snatched the keystone and the Mega Evolution Stone from Hai Duo.
