Chapter 319 Late Night Talk ②
Shota was going to eat the pie that Daigo drew, but he couldn't eat it in his own name. Otherwise, it would look ugly, and Daigo might even break away from his own chariot, or rebel.
Every trouble that can be reduced is a trouble that can be reduced, and Shota never gets tired of it.
Looking at Daigo's outstretched hand, Shota pretended to hesitate for a moment. After three minutes of silence, when Daigo was about to withdraw his hand, he tightly grasped Daigo's hand and added a note:
"I don't expect to be number one or number two in the league, but I hope your promise will work for the people at the bottom, after all, that's where I was born."
Looking at Shota's determined and serious eyes, Daigo solemnly stood up from the sofa, put his other hand on Shota's hand, and said excitedly:
"Don't worry, I won't let you down. Since you are really determined to join me, I will reveal a secret to you."
As they spoke, Daigo and Shota slowly pulled their hands apart, and they both sat on the sofa facing each other again.
Daigo didn't seem to care how expensive the bottle of wine on the table was, which was already 1/3 full. He took out two large cups from his private cupboard and said to Shota:
"Shota, do you know Orange City? Well, that's not the right question. I should ask you, have you ever been to Orange City?"
"I've been there. I need to get the badge after all."
When Daigo heard Shota talking about getting the badge, a hint of sarcasm appeared on the corner of his mouth, and it didn't fade away, and it was staring straight into Shota's eyes.
This was enough to show that he had already seen through the tricks played by the Alliance Cabinet and mostly trusted Shota at this time.
As he continued to pour the wine, he asked:
"In fact, badges and the like don't really matter. They are just a gimmick to induce the lower-class people to break their heads just to get the title of champion."
At this point, Daigo paused pouring the wine, turned his head to look at Shota and continued:
"You should know this. After all, although you and I come from different backgrounds, we are both smart people."
After saying this, Daigo poured the last few drops of wine into the two cups without a care, walked to Shota and handed him a cup.
"Shota, it's the same question as before, but I have to change it. After the great famine in the Hoenn region, have you been to Orange City?"
Shota took the wine glass handed over by Daigo and said calmly:
"No, what's the problem?"
Seeing that Shota looked confused, Daigo sat down on the sofa casually and spoke to Shota as if they were old friends:
“Of course, if you go there, you will definitely find that the remnants of the Marine Team and Magma Team that used to dominate the Hoenn region are there.
If you look closely, you'll find that they've merged into one team, wearing different uniforms but with a lightning bolt-like symbol tied to their arms."
After taking a sip of wine, Daigo continued:
"I have investigated. They are now called Team Flash. I originally thought they were a remnant of evil forces, but after investigation, I found that they did not target ordinary people, but the local wealthy and powerful gentry."
Hearing Daigo's words, Shota interrupted at the right time:
"so?"
"So, the philosophy of this organization is somewhat similar to ours. Although it has made many mistakes in the past, we can always give it a chance to correct its mistakes."
After hearing what Daigo said, Shota interrupted at the right time:
"You mean, use them?"
Hearing Shota emphasize the word "utilize", Daigo stood up from the sofa, shook his head, and said:
"No, it means literally. After all, they are the ones we should protect."
Hearing Daigo's righteous words, Shota, the leader of Team Inazuma, found it difficult to tell whether they were true or not.
But it doesn’t matter. To him, it doesn’t matter who gets on whose chariot.
Seeing Mrs. Xiang staring at him, Daigo touched his head a little embarrassedly, put the wine glass on the tea table, sat back on the sofa, then cleared his throat and continued:
"Regarding Team Flash, I actually haven't contacted their leader yet. However, an interesting person approached me and asked me, a close neighbor in Chenghua City, to help him get in touch with the leader of Team Flash. Can you guess who he is?"
This actually stopped Shota in his tracks regarding the question raised by Daigo, after all, he didn't have the ability to read minds, and Daigo gave almost no clues.
Therefore, Shouta was too lazy to ask too many questions and said directly:
"There are too few clues. Don't give me any clues. Just tell me directly."
Hearing what Shota said, Daigo chuckled, but there was no sarcasm on his face. He smiled generously and then spoke:
"Do you remember Tetsuya who replaced him after he left the court? That's the guy I'm talking about."
At this point, Daigo's mouth curled up into a mocking smile again. After taking a sip of the wine, he muttered to himself:
"I wonder what kind of expression that old fellow Zheshui would have if he knew that his grandson was planning to join forces with outsiders to rebel?"
Looking at Daigo's expression of mischievousness that he could hardly suppress, Shota felt that he might have found a kindred spirit in some respects, but this kindred spirit looked too young, and in fact was so.
Daigo seemed to realize his impoliteness. He came back to his senses from his imagination and said to Shota with an embarrassed look:
"I'm sorry, but that was a bad taste."
In response, Shota simply shook his head.
As for why Zhexin chose to find him accurately, it is most likely not because the league has secretly targeted the Inazuma Team that he runs, but because Zhexin lacks his own manpower and therefore pays attention to the forces that can be won over in the Hoenn region.
So why did Zhexin go so far as to unite with underground evil forces to rebel?
The answer is obvious, because there is a person who is likely to take the helm of the Zhe family, or Zhe Shui has already paved the way for him in secret.
As for who this person could be, the image of Tetsuya flashed through Shota's mind, young but full of energy, with endless possibilities.
Looking at Shota who was lost in deep thought, Daigo did not interrupt him, but quietly sipped the wine and waited.
There was silence in the air for a few minutes, and then Shota's voice came:
"Daigo, you want to win me over not only to have an insider in the alliance, but also to be able to contact the leader of the Lightning Team. After all, you were born into a wealthy family, and I was born into a poor family."
