To any trainer, the names of Yuan Zhi, Dagou, and Shirona were undoubtedly well-known. As the leader of the strongest underground organization in Kanto, the Rocket Squad, Sakaki naturally had a deep impression of these names.
Sakaki had never expected that Kaede Sato would actually participate in the Gulado incident that had happened not long ago, and had even saved Dagou, Yuan Zhi, and the other powerhouses of the Alliance.
In the end, when he heard that Kaede Sato already had a treasure dragon given to him by Yuan Zhi, as well as a series of heavyweight high-quality industrial assets given to him by Dagou, he was speechless.
Only now did Sakaki finally understand why Kaede Sato was able to raise the Giant Swamp Beasts in his hands into Heavenly King stage little spirits so quickly. A large part of it was because of the great opportunity he had obtained from the Gulado incident.
"I see. Looks like I have nothing else to give you."
Sakaki's expression was a little ugly, but in the end, he still patiently listened to Kaede Sato's story. After a moment of silence, he said to Kaede Sato expressionlessly. His eyes had become extremely sharp, as if he wanted to see through Kaede Sato's thoughts.
As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned back in his chair, clasped his hands together, slightly raised his head, and coldly looked at Sato Kaede.
At this moment, Sakaki finally understood Kaede Sato's attitude. Without a doubt, Kaede Sato did not lack resources at all, nor did he lack rare Wisps.
As for status, he did not lack it either. Kaede Sato currently had Dagou, Yuan Zhi, and a group of powerhouses of the Alliance supporting him. As long as he followed the prescribed order, he would have no problem rising rapidly in the Alliance.
As such, to Kaede Sato, the Rocket Squad was no longer the best place for him to stay. His identity as a member of the Rocket Squad had now become a huge obstacle to his advancement.
Meow Boss was undoubtedly very sensitive to the changes in Sakaki's mood. As Sakaki's mood changed in a bad direction, his attitude towards Kaede Sato also became hostile. He did not continue pretending to sleep, instead standing up and staring at Kaede Sato like a tiger watching its prey.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room became tense.
At the same time, the guards outside the room felt that something was wrong and quickly surrounded the room. The rest of the people in the manor also received the news and quickly sealed off the entire manor.
"Boss Sakaki, you must be joking. I have only just advanced to the Heavenly King Stage, and I still have many things that require your care. If you did not provide me with the clean identity of Zheping, I would not have what I have today.
"That is why I am here today, it is all thanks to Boss Sakaki's help. In the future, if there is anything that you need my help with, as long as it is within my capabilities, I will not hesitate to help."
When Kaede Sato heard Sakaki say that, he immediately knew that the situation was not good. However, he did not panic, instead keeping an eye on Meow Boss, smiling as he spoke to Sakaki.
What sort of person was Sakaki, Kaede Sato was very clear. He was an ambitious and ruthless character.
In this person's eyes, as long as someone had value, and could be of use to him or help him, there was nothing he could not tolerate.
Now, Kaede Sato had made things clear.
First, he had said that the identity of Zheping had been given to him by Sakaki. This was tantamount to handing Sakaki a handle on him. Once Sakaki exposed the truth behind Zheping's identity, Kaede Sato would not be able to walk away unscathed.
Following that, Kaede Sato said that he would do anything within his capabilities for Sakaki. This was tantamount to saying that Sakaki would be of great value in the Alliance, and that he would be willing to help him to a certain extent.
This was the truth. As long as Kaede Sato did not seek death, and continued using the identity of Zheping in the Fengyuan Alliance, he would definitely be able to climb to a very high position in the future.
Furthermore, with the power and potential that Kaede Sato had shown so far, it was not impossible for him to ascend to the throne of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Fengyuan Alliance in the future.
As the leader of the Rocket, Sakaki's comprehension ability was absolutely top-notch. How could he not hear the underlying meaning of Kaede Sato's words?
Sure enough, when Kaede Sato said those words just now, Sakaki's face immediately became pleasant, and his eyes quickly softened. He straightened his body again, then gently pressed his hand back on the table, and looked at Kaede Sato with interest.
When Meow Boss saw Sakaki's expression, he immediately lay on the ground again and continued to pretend to sleep.
"Then what do you want?" Sakaki nodded to Kaede Sato and asked directly.
He was a smart person, and he naturally heard the underlying meaning of what Kaede Sato had just said. However, he also knew that there was no free lunch in this world. If he wanted to make Kaede Sato do something, it was absolutely impossible to rely on threats.
"I want the identity of Zheping to be known only by you and me forever."
When Kaede Sato heard this, his face immediately became extremely serious. He slowly stated his conditions, and when he said the word "forever", his tone was very heavy.
For Kaede Sato, this manor was undoubtedly a dragon's pool and tiger's den, but why would he stupidly barge in? It was nothing more than to discuss the conditions with Sakaki in front of him.
Now, he had successfully built his nest on the big tree that was the Alliance, but because the origin of the identity of Zheping came from Sakaki, as long as Sakaki wanted, the identity of Zheping could be exposed at any time. At that time, the nest that he had painstakingly built would fall apart, and all his previous efforts would be in vain.
Towards this point, Kaede Sato could not tolerate it. He did not want his hard work to be built in the palm of someone else's hand, and be manipulated by others as they wished.
Of course, Kaede Sato knew that with his current strength, he would not be able to force Sakaki to truly remove the chess piece that was Zheping. As such, he could only take a step back. He would continue to be Sakaki's chess piece, but there was a time limit.
And this time limit would be the day of Sakaki's death, or when Kaede Sato's strength was strong enough for the Alliance to selectively forget about his origins.
"Let's change it."
When Sakaki heard Kaede Sato's conditions, he fell silent. He stared coldly at Kaede Sato, and after a long time, he finally opened his mouth to speak to Kaede Sato, his tone overbearing.
Kaede Sato was already a Heavenly King Stage Trainer, and was no longer an ant that anyone could step on. The reason why he had chosen to lie low was for the sake of freedom, to soar freely in this world.
He could not tolerate his fate forever being in the hands of others. If Sakaki did not agree this time, he would just fall out with him, abandon everything, and start anew.
"No, I want this."
As such, when Kaede Sato heard Sakaki's reply, he immediately replied resolutely, not giving in at all.
In that instant, the atmosphere in the room that had just eased up immediately became tense again.
