City capital, Wakaba Town.
If the meaning of Shinzo was pure white, then Wakaba was a crisp green that was full of business.
Lush parasol trees surrounded the town.
It was already late. Gugu stopped at the top of a tree and called out the time.
"Sorry to disturb you … I've troubled you!" Lu Ye apologized when he visited Akin's house.
Akin's mother smiled and said, "It's fine, this child loves to entertain guests. I'll go tidy up your room."
Akin grinned. "No need, Mr Lu and I are playing games. I won't sleep tonight!"
"Oh, is that so?"
"No, please be sure to tidy up the guest room. Sorry to trouble you!" Lu Ye said solemnly.
Who the hell wants to play games with you?!
Besides, you're not Sirona. She can at least pay me for the night!
…
Akin raised a lot of small sprites in his house.
From the second floor, he could see the grass, mountain rats, and iron chrysalises in the courtyard …
Akin scratched his nose and said proudly, "I learned a lot at the breeder house … taking care of sprites is a piece of cake!"
Little Silver, who was waiting in front of the TV for the special broadcast, said coldly, "It's clearly your mother who takes care of them."
"Don't talk! Be careful, or I'll kick you out! "
These two together were simply "brainless" and "unhappy," and the scene was quite comical.
Lu Ye crossed his arms and couldn't help laughing.
At that moment, his phone vibrated.
Lu Ye glanced at it. "I'm going out."
Arriving at the town's phone booth, Lu Ye asked,
"What's the matter, Real Bird?"
"Is it convenient for you to talk now?"
"If it's not convenient, I won't pick it up," Lu Ye said helplessly. "Tell me, what's the matter?"
"I'm not the one looking for you. It's Lord Sakaki who wants to talk to you," Real Bird said.
Lu Ye was blank.
Sakaki wants to talk to me?
His contact with Interpol was exposed so quickly?!
But in the next moment, the real bird's words dispelled Lu Ye's doubts.
"It's related to Young Master Yin."
Lu Ye stroked his chin.
It looked like Sakaki was looking for me … to ask about Little Silver …
This wasn't a big deal.
At the same time, Mr. Lu was also a little curious about this ambitious person.
"Transfer it to him," Lu Ye said.
"Understood."
Beep … beep … beep …
The sound of communication rang out.
As the microphone was raised, a hoarse and deep voice was heard.
"I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Lu."
The person on the other end of the phone was an ambitious and ruthless person from Rocket. This gave Lu Ye a sense of unreality.
However, Mr Lu was not flustered, as he had even interacted with Chi Hong.
"What is it, Mr. Sakaki?"
"First, I want to show you my sincerity in recruiting you," Sakaki said.
"Second, I want to reiterate my position. You will have absolute freedom in Rocket, and I will not interfere with any of your decisions."
"But there is no absolute freedom in everything." Lu Ye sighed.
"Maybe." The man smiled. "Also, if possible, I want to know … about Silver's recent situation."
Lu Ye nodded. "He has made trustworthy friends and has his own path … Of course, I think he still wants to meet you."
"Is that so?"
Sakaki rubbed the cat on his knees with his rough palms. "You want to see a wanted criminal?"
"Compared to a wanted criminal, your identity is more important. You are his father."
Lu Ye knew that his words were a little bold, and his heart pounded.
But … this might be a breakthrough.
If he could change Rocket …
With Lu Ye joining the Rocket Squad, it was only logical for him to recruit the trio.
Although the risk was high, it was still worth a try.
Sakaki was silent for a long time, and suddenly laughed. "You are the first person who dares to say these words to me, Mr Lu."
Sakaki's voice was low, but Lu Ye knew his only weakness.
"My father always said that taking care of the family is the primary responsibility of a man."
Lu Ye's tone also relaxed. "Mr. Sakaki, you can obviously do better."
"… I can't give up Rocket."
Sakaki said in a low voice, "Lu Ye, you are the only one who is close to Silver and not rejected."
"If you can get him to accept Rocket …"
"Rocket is not worthy of his acceptance now," Lu Ye interrupted.
Sakaki's voice suddenly became cold. "Is that so?"
You can't call me through the phone line, so why are you being so fierce?!
"Little Silver is a teenager who abhors evil," Lu Ye muttered. "Poaching is a crime that cannot be erased for Rocket right now."
Sakaki was silent for a long time, then sighed.
"In fact … Rocket hasn't poached for a long time."
"From the moment we created … that sprite, the plan to collect its genes was already a success."
"And those who use Rocket's name to poach are nothing more than a bunch of clowns."
Lu Ye had a strange expression on his face.
So you are now preparing Rocket just to bring your son home?!
Wasn't this ambition too lofty?!
"Without Rocket, the alliances will only be more chaotic."
Sakaki said coldly, "Lava Team, Water Fleet, Galaxy Team … heh, a bunch of idiots. Compared with gathering their strength, getting Silver to take control of Rocket is the most important goal right now."
"And you are the only person who can accomplish this goal, Mr. Lu."
"Then have you thought about creating a brand image for Rocket?" Lu Ye asked.
Sakaki was blank for a moment. "A, a brand image?!"
Lu Ye rubbed his forehead and said, "Since it's already to get Little Silver back, changing Rocket's positioning is the key."
"So Rocket's image in the eyes of the public is that of an outlaw poacher. What if it is transformed into so-called 'justice'?"
"Rocket has a lot of sources of funding through legal channels, and doesn't need to commit crimes to get money. Similarly, Rocket has a public base. If this is turned into word of mouth, Rocket's image will also change greatly. If it is positioned as a legal organization, Little Silver naturally won't refuse to come back."
Sakaki pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "Lu Ye … evil is the foundation of Rocket's survival."
"It's like a knight in the dark, a lawman of the night …"
Lu Ye said with a smile, "There is always a fine line between evil and justice."
Sakaki was slightly taken aback, then he suddenly burst out laughing.
"Very interesting!"
"But." Sakaki suddenly became serious and said coldly, "An organization without armed forces will only seek its own destruction … I can't let Rocket be destroyed."
"It's fine as long as the actions are 'righteous.'"
Lu Ye said, "Elven hunters, poaching groups, smuggling gangs … getting rid of these illegal organizations will be enough to 'rescue' a group of powerful elves, and it will also be an important way to change Rocket's reputation."
Double-cross?
The corners of Sakaki's mouth rose. "You are more interesting than I thought, Mr. Lu … but there are a lot of stubborn guys in Rocket."
"Without a clear goal, Rocket will be like a ship riddled with holes … without a reason to do evil, even I can't imagine what they will do."
"So, we need a brand new Rocket."
Lu Ye suddenly laughed.
"A Rocket that can be eliminated, transformed, and reborn."
"A Rocket that the Alliance, the masses, and the trainers can accept."
"A Rocket that your child can proudly say its name."
Sakaki fell silent.
Rocket's stubborn disease was getting worse, and he had considered starting a new organization.
But what he wanted was to join forces with other evil organizations.
And now, Mr. Lu had given him a reason that he couldn't refuse.
A Rocket that Little Silver … could proudly say its name …
"Times have changed, Mr. Sakaki," Lu Ye said with a smile.
"Compared with a mysterious and alluring black hole, people are more willing to stand under a brilliant rainbow."
"I think this is also Little Silver's wish."
A rainbow …
What a beautiful meaning …
Sakaki was silent for a long time before he finally said, "I'll think about it."
"Also, you are an excellent lobbyist, Mr. Lu." Sakaki smiled.
"It's my honor."
"Mr. Lu … I mean, if this new organization is established, will you be willing to participate?" Sakaki asked solemnly.
Lu Ye was a little surprised at Sakaki's speed of decision.
"You've already thought of a new name?"
"Haven't you already made the decision for me?" Sakaki asked in return.
Lu Ye was blank for a moment and didn't react.
Sakaki continued, "I'll increase your authority in Rocket."
"You'll have the right to appoint and dismiss personnel below the level of a cadre."
"In addition, you can directly instruct Real Bird, and she'll do her best to complete the task you give her …"
Lu Ye's expression was complicated.
This already wasn't a cadre's level of authority …
This was like entrusting a minister to someone else!
"Take care of your health, Boss Sakaki." Lu Ye coughed softly. "It's not worth it to tire yourself out. We still have to prepare for the new organization …"
"Yes … but I've rested for so long. It's time to stretch my muscles and bones. "Sakaki smiled.
Change couldn't be made overnight.
But as long as the seed was planted, it was possible for it to sprout.
He hung up.
Sakaki looked out at the sea of clouds outside the French windows. A rainbow cut through the clouds, beautiful and gorgeous.
"Rainbow … Rocket?"
Sakaki murmured, the corners of his mouth rising slightly.
"What an interesting guy …"
