Ten minutes later, Kaede Sato left without a sound.
It wasn't until Sakaki ordered his subordinates to resume their usual work arrangements that the rest of the people in the manor knew that Kaede Sato had left.
By the time Kondo Makoto learned that Kaede Sato had left the manor, Kaede Sato had already been gone for more than half an hour. At this time, he was riding a Lightning Bird toward Jinhuang City at a speed several times faster than an ordinary Raptor.
"What a difficult negotiation, but the result is good. It's fine as long as I can drag it out. This way, I can have more time to grow. In this world, strength speaks louder than words."
Kaede Sato, who was wearing a pair of goggles, sat on the Lightning Bird and looked down at the spectacular scenery flashing by below. Then, he looked at the many flying type wild elves in front of the Lightning Bird and said with a smile.
What was the use of being tough? It was just a trick used to scare people. These things were not worth mentioning in front of Sakaki. Only strength and value could make this Rocket leader, who had long been used to being tough, make some concessions.
Yes, under Kaede Sato's firm attitude, Sakaki made concessions, but at the same time, he made more conditions.
In this negotiation, Sakaki promised that only he and Kaede Sato would know the name Zheping for the time being. If Kaede Sato wanted the word "forever," he would have to climb to the position of Four Heavenly Kings Champion in the league within ten years.
At the same time, Kaede Sato had to provide Sakaki with information, and if necessary, he would personally do something for Sakaki.
Of course, Sakaki was Sakaki. He would never let others work for free. He promised that as long as Kaede Sato provided him with valuable information and helped him complete the task, he would also help Kaede Sato complete something of equivalent value.
At first glance, this seemed to be a mutually beneficial transaction.
However, in Kaede Sato's view, this was a trap set by Sakaki. Whether it was providing information or helping him, Sakaki was actively creating and collecting dirt on him.
As long as Kaede Sato dared to do it, he would fall deeper and deeper.
At that time, even if Kaede Sato was strong enough to fight against Sakaki, it would be useless because Sakaki had enough dirt on him. He was not afraid that Kaede Sato, who had climbed to a high position in the league, would fall out with him.
However, perhaps even Sakaki did not realize that he was playing right into Sato's hands. These things were actually what Kaede Sato needed.
In fact, Kaede Sato wasn't afraid that he would leave any evidence behind if he helped Sakaki. What he was afraid of was that Sakaki wouldn't give him a chance to stay in the Alliance.
There was nothing he could do about it. His progress was simply too fast, far beyond Sakaki's expectations. There was already a faint tendency for him to grow too big to be stopped, and it was beyond Sakaki's control.
Putting himself in Sakaki's shoes, if he saw a chess piece suddenly rise and was faintly out of his control, he would definitely find a way to keep it in check.
Of course, in order to destroy the value of this chess piece, he would come up with a plan that would not lose the value of the chess piece and would be able to effectively control it. Even the chess piece would have nothing to say. So, what kind of plan would be appropriate?
If Kaede Sato was Sakaki, he would definitely transfer Kaede Sato back from the Fengyuan area and place him in the Kanto area where Rocket control was the strongest.
In this way, Kaede Sato could continue to contact his contacts in the Fengyuan area to help him rise in the league. Sakaki could also pay attention to Kaede Sato at all times and not let Kaede Sato escape from his control.
Sakaki even used the power of Rocket to help Kaede Sato quickly accumulate merits in the Kanto Alliance. He secretly gave Kaede Sato a lot of resources so that Kaede Sato could rise quickly in the Kanto Alliance.
It had to be said that this solution was a win-win for both sides. Even if Kaede Sato knew that he might not be able to leave Rocket for the rest of his life, it was difficult for him to give up such an opportunity to rise quickly.
However, in the end, Kaede Sato chose to give up such a tempting opportunity. He followed his heart and hoped to soar freely and be the master of his family.
Therefore, he used his value and a certain amount of strength to struggle with Sakaki. In the end, he succeeded in trading with Sakaki for the opportunity to make a fair deal with him as much as possible.
That's right. From the moment Sakaki agreed to Kaede Sato, the relationship between Kaede Sato and Sakaki was no longer that of superior and subordinate. The two of them were placed on the same level and were in a cooperative relationship.
Although Sakaki was still in the dominant position in this cooperative relationship, it didn't matter. Kaede Sato was currently weaker than Sakaki and was indeed the passive party.
When Kaede Sato's strength improved step by step in the future, this cooperative relationship would eventually bring the two of them back to the same level.
"It's fine if a person doesn't have a chance to rise up in life. It's also a blessing to live a normal life under a strong person. But if there's a chance to rise up, how can I live under someone else's roof for the rest of my life? The sky is so big, it would be a pity if I don't soar to my heart's content."
Kaede Sato looked up at the boundless sky in front of him and then recalled the difficult negotiation with Sakaki not long ago. He couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
When Kaede Sato rode the Lightning Bird from Tokiwa City to Jinhuang City, in a high-end villa in the center of Yuhong City (also known as Saihong City), a tall man with a square face and a crew cut slowly put down the communicator in his hand, and then a blue light flashed in his eyes.
If Kaede Sato were here, he would definitely be able to recognize who this honest-looking man was at first glance. This man was Sakaki Tomari, who had competed with him on the mysterious island more than half a year ago.
This person was related to Sakaki by blood. He was Sakaki's nephew, and his strength was very ordinary. He was one of the few people Kaede Sato couldn't defeat on the mysterious island.
Moreover, as early as half a year ago, he had used some unknown method to become a Heavenly King-tier trainer.
If Kaede Sato hadn't chosen to evacuate the desert ruins on the mysterious island early on, he might have died at the hands of this person. After leaving the island, Kaede Sato became even more hostile with this person because he protected Chutney. Currently, the two sides were still enemies.
In fact, after Sakaki Tomari left the mysterious island, he relied on his increased strength and his identity as the strongest successor of the next Rocket leader to secretly recruit people. In addition, he had the secret support of Apollo, Athena, Poseidon, and other Rocket veterans.
After more than half a year, Sakaki Tomari had become a force to be reckoned with within the Rocket. He was vaguely joining forces with Apollo, Athena, Poseidon, and other Rocket veterans to fight against Sakaki.
Now, Sakaki Tomari had taken control of the Rocket forces in Yuhong City and all the secondary cities nearby. Other than himself, he also had five Heavenly King-tier subordinates and two Heavenly King-tier guests.
It was worth mentioning that among the five Heavenly King-tier subordinates, four of them were Rocket veterans who came out of the ruins with him. They were Sakaki Tomari's loyal subordinates at that time.
Although the four young Rocket veterans had not reached the Heavenly King-tier at that time, after more than half a year of training by Sakaki Tomari, they had reached the Heavenly King-tier one after another and became the core members of the Rocket.
"Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
Soon, there was a spatial fluctuation, and a blonde woman with an outstanding figure suddenly appeared in front of Sakaki Tomari. She then spoke to him respectfully.
"Mia, you're here. I have something to ask you. Do you remember Kaede Sato?"
When Sakaki Tomari saw who it was, a happy smile appeared on his honest face. He then spoke to the blonde woman telepathically.
