"Mr. Sato, where are you going? We're going to enter the next floor soon. As an important member of the expedition team, you might not be able to make it."
Just as Kaede Sato was about to use telepathy to have Natsuki take him and Tomas out of the ruins, Sakaki Tomissei's words suddenly exploded in his mind. In a split second, a stream of blood flowed out from his nose.
Hearing Sakaki Tomissei's words, Kaede Sato endured the piercing pain in his head and stared at Sakaki Tomissei, who was glaring at him with a dark expression. A strong sense of dread rose in his heart for the second generation of Rocket.
He did not hear wrongly. Sakaki Tomissei did not speak to him face to face. Instead, he used telepathy to send him a message.
In other words, this bear-like simple-faced young man was a superpower user. Judging from the other party's superpower method that formed a strong suppression on his mental strength, Sato Tengfeng concluded that the other party's mental strength was very strong. The strength of his mental strength was probably not inferior to Els' at all.
He hid it too well. Kaede Sato did not expect Sakaki Tomissei to be such a powerful psychic.
At that moment, he somewhat understood why Mia, a psychic, would choose to betray Natsuki's faction and join Sakaki Tomissei's faction. It was not only because Sakaki Tomissei had saved her life, but also because Sakaki Tomissei himself was a powerful psychic.
At the same time, Kaede Sato knew that Sakaki Tomissei must have sensed that he had discovered something. Now that he realized that he wanted to leave, he wanted to stop him.
At that moment, he noticed that Mia and a few other Rocket members who had been following Sakaki Tomissei had appeared around him. Although they seemed to be healing his Wisp, they were actually staring at him.
If he dared to act rashly, it was obvious that these people would not let him get away so easily. Once he made a move, they would attack him fiercely.
Moreover, the Natural Sparrow on his shoulder and Thomas beside him seemed to have fallen asleep. Their eyes were closed and they were motionless.
Kaede Sato knew that his original plan to sneak away was not going to work anymore. He was an esper, and he had an esper with him who could teleport.
However, Mia and Sakaki Tominari were also psychics, and their Psychic Energy was much stronger than his. Not to mention, they must have a psychic fairy that could teleport.
This was especially true for Sakaki Tomissei. This person was way too secretive. If he said that he didn't have a super strong Elfin, Sato Kaede wouldn't believe it.
Kaede Sato's chances of escaping were infinitely close to zero in front of this terrifyingly scheming esper and his minions.
"Mr. Sakaki Tominari, you're really something. It's my fault for not noticing that you're a psychic."
"I just want to get out of here. As for what you want to do here, I don't want to know at all. I don't think you want to fight to the death with me."
"You better think this through. Although I'm weak, if I suddenly make a move and tell the others what I know, it will definitely affect your plan greatly."
Since stealing was not going to work, the only option left was to negotiate. Kaede Sato did not choose to tell the others about the strange situation immediately. Instead, he chose to use telepathy to threaten Sakaki Tomissei.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but there are some things that you'd better keep to yourself. The more you know, the faster you'll die."
Sakaki Tomissei didn't give Kaede Sato any chance to talk to him. He continued to use telepathy to talk to Kaede Sato while suppressing Kaede Sato's mental strength.
"I naturally understand this logic. Can I leave now? Although I don't know what method you used to suppress my mental strength, I still have room to resist. There's no problem at all for me to scream."
Kaede Sato closed his eyes and tried his best to resist the pain in his head. Then, he continued to negotiate with Sakaki Tominari.
At the same time, he held the pokeballs of the Swamp Monster and Hu Di tightly. If the negotiation failed, he would immediately choose to save himself.
A few seconds later, Sakaki Tomissei seemed to have acquiesced to Kaede Sato's request to leave. The strange psychic ability that was suppressing Kaede Sato's mental strength disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, Kaede Sato opened his eyes again. He quickly wiped the blood off his nose with his sleeve and looked at Sakaki Tomissei and his surroundings.
He immediately noticed that Sakaki Tomissei was no longer at his original position. It seemed like he had led his men down the stairs to explore the second floor of the ruin. Most of them were following him.
However, Mia and a few of Sakaki Tomissei's men were still resting at their original position. They were watching him closely and had surrounded him. If he did anything out of the ordinary, he would be attacked fiercely.
As for Natsuki and Thomas, they seemed to have really fallen asleep. They did not move at all.
What surprised Kaede Sato the most was that without him noticing, Butterfly and Xing were sitting on his left and right. The two of them were accompanied by the Fans-tailed Scaled Dragon and Geng Gui.
"Oh, it's them. Looks like they've also noticed the abnormality. Sakaki Tomissei must have been scared by their appearance just now. That's why he chose to let go. Luckily, he didn't have any intention of fighting to the death."
"As expected, I can't underestimate anyone. This Sakaki Tomissei is too scary. I'm still a fledgling and I don't have any subordinates. I shouldn't have participated in this kind of group operation so recklessly. This is a lesson I've learned. If I didn't maintain my habit of being cautious and discovered the abnormality in the ruin in time, I'm afraid I would've died here."
Looking at the situation around him, Kaede Sato knew that his understanding of the situation and the appearance of Butterfly and Xing had opened up a way for him to survive. He sighed in relief.
At the same time, the feeling of being a fish on the chopping block made Kaede Sato sober up a lot. Ever since he became a trainer, his strength had improved rapidly. At the same time, he had also gained a lot of victories. Unconsciously, he had become a little arrogant.
Now that he had fallen into Sakaki Tomissei's trap and was once again let go, the arrogance in Kaede Sato's heart that had been born from his recent rapid improvement in strength was now gone.
Kaede Sato did not think too much about it. He quickly released Hu Di in front of Mia and the others. Then, he endured the stabbing pain in his head and prepared to use telepathy to command Hu Di to take them out of the ruin.
"Hey, if you want to leave, take me with you. I'm going out anyway. Consider it my reward for standing up for you just now."
"Take me out and we'll call it even."
When Hu Di came out, Kaede Sato heard Butterfly and Xing's voices at the same time.
After a while, with Hu Di's help, Kaede Sato, Thomas, Butterfly, and Xing silently disappeared from the ruin.
"Sir, they're gone. Is this okay?"
Seeing that Kaede Sato and the others had left the ruin safely, Mia immediately lowered her head and asked respectfully to an empty shadow in front of her.
"No problem. We have enough cannon fodder anyway. It won't affect the follow-up plan even if they're gone."
At that moment, a spatial distortion suddenly appeared above the shadow. Sakaki Tomissei suddenly appeared in the shadow and replied to Mia with telepathy.
"Hehehe! As long as I take that thing from here, the position of Rocket's leader will be mine sooner or later. You small fries who don't want to submit to me now, just wait and see how I'll deal with you in the future."
Sakaki Tomissei turned his head to look at the spot where Kaede Sato and the others had disappeared. Then, he lowered his head to look at the black crystal in his hand that was emitting a strange aura and psychic energy fluctuation. His eyes flashed with a faint red light as he muttered with a gloomy face.
