When Aoki left the underground laboratory, he met two people waiting for him at the door.
The appearance of these two people surprised Aoki a little.
"Hey, Aoki is here." One of the two people was Na Zi, and she was talking to the person next to him.
The person standing next to him without saying a word was Ah Ju, who had just been in Sakaki's office.
Ah Ju gave Na Zi a look.
Seeing this look, Na Zi helplessly curled her lips and said to Aoki, "Ah Ju is looking for you, you guys can talk.
Tsk, you make it sound like you can't let others know. "
After saying that, Na Zi teleported and disappeared.
In the end, only Aoki and Ah Ju were left in the hallway.
However, neither of them spoke first. They just stood quietly in the corridor and looked at each other.
After a long time.
"I wonder why Ah Ju is looking for me?" In the end, Aoki spoke first. He didn't have that much time to waste here with Ah Ju.
Ah Ju wasn't very good at communicating, and as a master assassin, he didn't like to talk.
"You were the one who detoxified my poison?" Ah Ju finally spoke, his voice slightly cold.
Hearing this, Aoki understood that Ah Ju was the one who had poisoned Heavenly King Genji who had come to the Guandu area.
To be able to approach a veteran Heavenly King so quietly, it meant that Ah Ju's assassination ability was far above his own strength.
However, Aoki wasn't very afraid of Ah Ju's assassination methods. His ability could sense the approach of strangers at any time. Even if Ah Ju had a special method to avoid detection, he definitely wouldn't be able to avoid the detection of the A.I. Chip.
At this time, Aoki's Geng Gui had reached the peak of a quasi-champion, and could immediately appear to protect his life.
As for the elven strength that Ah Ju had shown, Aoki was even less afraid of him.
Therefore, Aoki didn't fear Ah Ju as much as the others. He just looked at him calmly.
"Yes," Aoki replied. There was not much emotion in his tone.
Anyone who had investigated the relationship between Aoki and Genji would know about it.
Genji had provided a lot of help to Aoki. Although Aoki was a member of the Rocket Team, he was also a person with feelings. In the Fengyuan Alliance, Genji, Adams and many other elders had helped him a lot. Even Daigo, Micoli and Hibiscus Chinensis had helped Aoki a lot.
Therefore, Aoki hadn't done anything to harm the interests of the Fengyuan Alliance so far. Even the Sky Team had only filled in the gaps of the underground forces in the Fengyuan Alliance. They had even helped the alliance manage the criminals in the black or gray areas to a certain extent.
Ah Ju had investigated Aoki after learning that he had become the Four Heavenly Kings. He knew about the relationship between Genji and Aoki.
Therefore, an awkward expression appeared on Ah Ju's face, which had never changed. "Heavenly King Genji, it was because the people from the Hunter's Guild found me, so …"
It was definitely difficult for an extremely proud person like him to apologize, but Aoki had more or less figured out his intentions.
Since Ah Ju's attitude had softened first, Aoki didn't give him any more attitude.
"It's alright. It's all in the past. Besides, I've profited from the disaster and become an advanced trainer." Although his face couldn't be seen, Aoki's attitude could be heard from his tone.
Ah Ju also secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The way he spoke today was indeed not his style, but as the first person in the Rocket Team to become one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the alliance, Aoki also had something to say.
"After the Guandu split, there's a high chance that I'll become one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the new area, the Chengdu area. I hope to form an alliance with Heavenly King Aoki." Ah Ju directly explained his intentions.
"Alliance?" Aoki frowned slightly.
"Although I'm in the Chengdu area and you're in the Fengyuan area, the distance between the two areas isn't very far. When the new area is established, there will definitely be some activities and cooperation in many aspects. I hope that we can work together and strive to have a firmer grasp of the Fengyuan area and the Chengdu area," Ah Ju explained.
Hearing Ah Ju's words, Aoki understood.
Whether it was the Guandu area or the newly split Chengdu area, the champion of the two areas had not been determined.
It seemed like Ah Ju wanted to fight for the champion's throne.
Aoki nodded in agreement on the surface, but in fact, he did not really care.
Even if it was a little early for the Guandu area to split, the Imperial Dragon family's influence in the Chengdu area would not be that simple. When the time came, Du would definitely be parachuted into the Chengdu area and become the champion.
Because … There were people in the Guandu area who would not let him.
Moreover, in Aoki's opinion, forming an alliance with Ah Ju was just a verbal agreement. For someone like him who prioritized benefits above all else, Aoki would not easily believe him.
...
A day later.
Aoki arrived at Withered Leaf City quietly.
Here, a new batch of trial takers would step onto the Rocket Team's ship and head to the endless sea, where the trial island was filled with danger.
Among these trial takers, a portion of them had volunteered, while the rest were orphans and poor people who wandered the streets. They had been captured by the Fire Arrow Squad.
Most of them were between 12 and 18 years old, and the main age group was between 15 and 16 years old.
They had a certain degree of independent thinking ability, were not very old, and had enough potential.
As the Top Operative on this trip, Aoki was naturally at the top of the entire ship. Without his permission, no one else was allowed to get close.
The person in charge of this trip, a captain with the strength of a Quasi-Heavenly King, was surprised and happy when he found out that a Top Operative would be heading to the trial island.
He was surprised that a Top Operative was going to the trial island, but he was happy because he felt that his opportunity had come.
This was a Top Operative, at least a senior Heavenly King or even stronger. If he could take a fancy to him, anything he revealed would be of great help to him.
Of course, it would be best if he could take him in as a direct subordinate.
However, Aoki did not care about him.
When this batch of trial takers boarded the ship, Aoki leaned on the railing on the top floor and looked down at the people who walked onto the ship one by one.
Very quickly, he found the two weirdos, Musashi and Kojiro.
Other people who boarded the ship were scared witless, but there was no fear on their faces. They were even a little excited, as if going to the trial island was a very good thing.
Actually, to the two of them, going to the trial island was a shortcut to quickly become the middle and upper management of the Rocket Team.
Every year, there were many people who joined the Rocket Team, but they all started from the bottom.
And for those who survived the trial island, if they were lucky, they would have a position at the level of a small captain or even a medium captain. Even if they were unlucky and did not have a position, their strength and resume would be stronger than ordinary members, and their speed of promotion would be much faster.
A smile appeared on Aoki's face. "You're really habitually naive. I'll let you suffer a little on the trial island first."
