Although the old lady was also a woman, from an aesthetic point of view, she was obviously not in line with Pikachu's aesthetic standards. Now that he was being stared at by the old lady with such an eager gaze, he immediately felt uncomfortable all over.
"Pika ~"
Especially when the other party grabbed him and wanted to rub her face against him. A red mark immediately appeared on his forehead, and she began to warn him.
"Pikachu, don't …"
Kaede Sato noticed that Pikachu was beginning to show an angry expression. How could he not know that Pikachu wanted to electrocute someone again? But now that the target was an old and weak old lady, he did not dare to take the risk. He hurriedly wanted to say something to stop Pikachu.
However, before Kaede Sato could speak, Pikachu's anger was dispelled by an orange-yellow biscuit that the old lady took out from her arms. Then, under the old lady's skillful massage technique, he let out a series of comfortable cries.
"Young man, don't worry. This old lady is very familiar with little elves like Pikachu. You can have him back."
After the old lady used the massage technique to carefully stroke Pikachu's body, she turned her head and said to Kaede Sato with a smile. Then, she put Pikachu back on Kaede Sato's shoulder.
"Ah, it's good that you're fine. This guy really doesn't like to be touched by strangers, but you're really amazing. This is the first time I've seen him show such a comfortable expression after being touched."
Hearing this, Kaede Sato hurriedly said to the old lady respectfully, and at the same time, complimented the old lady.
After what the old lady had said just now, how could he not know that this fashionable old lady in front of him was an otherworldly expert? She was actually able to see through Pikachu's secrets one by one through observation. This was really amazing.
"Hohoho ~ That's for sure. My massage technique is unparalleled in the world. With my skillful hands, there's not a single elf in this world that I can't tame."
Obviously, Kaede Sato's compliment just now had scratched the old lady's itch. When she heard Kaede Sato's words, her face immediately showed a proud expression, and then she laughed out loud.
"Tsk, wasn't I the one who taught you that massage technique? What's there to be proud of?"
At this time, Takeda Jiro, who had been left out in the cold, clearly did not like this situation. He very untimely whispered to the old lady.
"What? You still have the face to say that? You were the one who taught me, but in the end, I still surpassed you. You're too weak. This is what it means to say that the student has surpassed the master. I'm proud of it, I'm happy. So what?"
The old lady's ears were very good. She very keenly heard Takeda Jiro's whisper. Her small face suddenly froze, then quickly turned from sunny to gloomy. She quickly turned her head and pointed at Takeda Jiro's nose, shouting loudly.
"Nonsense, I was the one who let you win. Do you really think that you've surpassed me? How about we compete now?"
Being ridiculed by the old lady in front of outsiders, Takeda Jiro did not dare to agree. He immediately said very unhappily.
"Alright, let's compete. Who's afraid of who? Young man, you be the judge."
When the old lady saw that Takeda Jiro, who was usually obedient to her, actually dared to refute her, she immediately became even more aggressive. In the end, she even dragged Kaede Sato into this sudden competition.
Ten minutes later, the old lady was eating with a proud face, while Takeda Jiro looked very sullen. As for Kaede Sato, at this time, he was sitting upright and still.
Obviously, from the results of the competition just now, the old lady was a notch higher.
"It seems that I've found the right place. This cultivation house has two great gods, it's hard not to be popular."
"However, these two old men are so powerful, their connections must be very terrifying. If they want to open a cultivation house, I'm afraid those trainers who have been helped by them will fight to the death to support them."
"That's really strange. Should I ask them?"
After a simple competition, Kaede Sato already knew very well that the two old men in front of him were real masters, and the possibility of them being liars was infinitely close to zero. But because of this, a huge doubt quickly appeared in his mind, making him feel a little worried.
Soon, lunchtime was over. The old lady cleared the dishes and went to do the dishes, leaving only Kaede Sato and Takeda Jiro in the living room.
"Young man, are you very confused now that we two old men don't have the money to build a cultivation house?"
After the old lady walked far away, Takeda Jiro broke the silence and voiced out the doubts in Kaede Sato's mind.
"I do have such doubts. Both of you are very capable people, and I think your connections must be very powerful. You don't look like people who can't raise funds."
When Kaede Sato heard Takeda Jiro's words, he did not hold back and openly admitted it.
"The old lady and I do have good connections, and we have some savings. In the beginning, the fund-raising went very smoothly. In fact, before this, my cultivation house was already in the process of being built."
"But who knew that a sudden disaster would befall me. A storm directly destroyed the cultivation house that was under construction. Now, this old man still owes them a lot of money. How can I have the face to borrow from others? This is the only way to raise funds."
"Sigh, it's all fate. Say, why did Gaioka suddenly come to land? How unlucky."
When Takeda Jiro saw that Kaede Sato had admitted his doubts, he did not intend to hide anything. He directly told him the reason and his current difficult situation.
"…"
After listening to Takeda Jiro's words, Sato Kaede felt a strong sense of guilt in his heart. It turned out that the reason why Takeda Jiro had fallen into such a state was all because of him.
Now that he thought about it, the route he took to attract Gaioka was indeed very close to Route 117. No, it was through Route 117.
Obviously, Gaioka crossing the border was not a good thing. The weather field he created had brought great disasters to many people.
"So, so that's how it is. May I ask how much money you still need, sir? Although my ability is limited, I still have some savings. I believe that with the two of you here, the cultivation house will definitely be a profitable investment."
This time, Kaede Sato did not hesitate. He directly expressed his willingness to invest in the cultivation house.
"Putting aside the debt for the time being, I still need at least two to three hundred million Alliance dollars to build the lowest-level cultivation house. Of course, this is only the construction cost. The subsequent renovation and various other expenses will add up."
When Takeda Jiro heard that Kaede Sato was willing to invest, his face immediately became a lot better. Then, he remembered that the cultivation house still needed a large amount of starting capital, so he sighed and said, "There are more than 60 million Alliance dollars in this card.
"There are more than 60 million Alliance dollars in this card. I'm sorry, but that's all I have for now."
When Kaede Sato saw this, he immediately took out the anonymous bank card and handed it to Takeda Jiro. He said with a slightly apologetic look.
"Please don't say that. With such a large capital injection from you, my cultivation house can start again. As long as we can start again, it won't be so difficult to raise the follow-up funds. This capital of yours is really timely, young man."
When Takeda Jiro saw that a young man like Kaede Sato could actually come up with a huge sum of more than 60 million Alliance dollars, his old face was immediately filled with shock.
"How about this, you'll take one-third of the cultivation house's shares."
However, when he looked back and thought of the Pikachu on Kaede Sato's shoulder, he quickly understood and said with an excited expression.
