At six o 'clock in the morning the next day, at the harbor of Larus City, an ordinary-looking young man was standing at the edge of the harbor. The young man was wearing tattered clothes, and with the thick calluses on his hands and the elven belt with a pokeball on his waist, it was easy to tell that he was a civilian trainer from a poor background.
The young man turned his head and looked at the city on the cliff of the island. His eyes revealed a trace of regret and reluctance. In the end, he sighed and shook his head. After that, he walked toward a somewhat shabby cargo ship.
When the passersby saw the lonely figure of the young man, most of them were moved. A few of them were gloating, but there was not a trace of sympathy.
In the eyes of many people, the dull youth was just like most of the civilian trainers who came to Larus City. At first, he came here with passion and ambition, but the hard life in Larus City had obliterated these qualities of the dull youth.
Now, he was just like many other civilian trainers. After his ambition was completely obliterated, he could only choose to return home with regret and disappointment. After all, he was the one who chose this path. Sympathy was not something that should be used on him.
After the young man handed over half of a 1,000 Alliance dollar bill to a bald sailor with a beard, he was allowed to board the cargo ship. He followed many people in tattered clothes in front of him. They walked along a long plank and boarded the cargo ship full of goods.
As the smokestack on the cargo ship let out a long hum, it began to gradually move out of the harbor of Larus City under the control of the sailors. It then moved towards the distant sea under the morning sun.
After a while, the cargo ship turned into a small black dot and gradually disappeared from the sight of the workers who were moving goods at the harbor of Larus City.
After the city of Larus City gradually disappeared from sight, the young man who had been standing on the deck and looking into the distance also withdrew his gaze. He then turned around and sighed deeply as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
The real identity of this young man was naturally Kaede Sato, who had secretly left Larus City by taking a black ship. Although he had defeated Alice beautifully yesterday and obtained a record of 10 consecutive victories, he also knew that his good days in Larus City had come to an end.
Because of the lesson of Fujiwara Tsutomu, Kaede Sato immediately thought of escaping after the battle to avoid being retaliated against by Alice or her close associates.
Where there were people, there would be a market. Every day, many civilian trainers left Larus City like defeated roosters. However, the resources of these people had been squeezed out long ago. Some of them could not even afford a ticket to leave Larus City.
Therefore, due to the market demand, some relatively cheap black ships appeared. For example, the cargo ship Kaede Sato just now. Kaede Sato spent 1,000 union coins to obtain a black ship ticket to stay in the storage room of the ship.
With this black ship ticket, Kaede Sato left Larus City without any mishaps. However, for him, leaving Larus City now was a bit of a pity.
As a matter of fact, Kaede Sato had completed the mission three days before the deadline. Therefore, he still had three days to carry out his activities in Larus City. However, Alice's unexpected appearance had forced him to give up on his plans for the next three days.
Kaede Sato originally planned to relax in Larus City after completing the "Sofia's Request" mission. Because he had been so focused on completing the mission, he did not have the time to visit the antique market in Larus City.
At the thought of some of the little cuties in the antique market leaving him, Kaede Sato felt a little unhappy. However, he didn't have much time to sulk now. Now, a piece of paper in his hand had attracted all his attention.
It was just an ordinary small piece of paper, but the words and handwriting on it made him very vigilant. The content of the small piece of paper was very simple. It meant that he had completed the mission, and he was to return to the Nepean Rockets base and report to a person named Sofia within 10 days.
The small piece of paper appeared in a very strange way. It was as if it had suddenly appeared in his pocket. Not long after he had completed the mission of winning 10 consecutive battles in the battle tower, it had appeared in his pocket.
"It seems that Rocket has sent a very powerful person to follow me. This person's ability to conceal himself is really good. Until now, I have not been able to find any clues about him. I have to improve my detection skills in the future."
Kaede Sato tore the small piece of paper in his hand into pieces and let them drift away with the sea breeze. Looking at the pieces of paper disappearing quickly in front of him, his expression became more and more serious. Finally, he shifted his gaze to the shadow under his feet.
On the other side, in a room on the lowest floor of a five-star luxury hotel in Larus City, Alice was crazily smashing everything in front of her onto the ground. A series of shattering sounds could be heard in the room. A few waitresses stood outside the room, trembling in fear.
Not long after, an old man with a meticulously combed beard and hair appeared outside the door. He asked the waitresses outside the door to leave. Then, he waited until there was no more sound in the room before he opened the door and entered.
At this time, Alice was curled up on a leather sofa with tears in her eyes. She did not say anything when she saw the old man and continued to stare blankly.
"This is my own matter. I won't allow you to do anything to him. I won't admit defeat. I will defeat him with my own hands in the future." After a long time, Alice wiped her tears with her small white hands and said to the old man in front of her with a stern expression.
"As you wish, Young Mistress. But before I could find trouble with him, this alert wolf cub had already left. It's impossible for you to find him now. Perhaps the next time you want to see him again will be a long, long time."
Old Man Pino smiled and said to Alice, "Don't worry about it, Alice.
"It doesn't matter. I can't beat him now. Grandpa Pino, you have to help me. I don't want to continue staying at home like a frog at the bottom of a well. I want to travel. I want to go alone!!!"
Alice's pretty face fell when she heard this. She lowered her head and muttered a few words to herself. Then, she raised her head and said to the old man with a serious expression.
"No problem, Alice. Leave this matter to Grandpa Pino. I'm sure your father will be very happy to hear what you just said."
