Seeing this, Wu quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, Shan Minoru, that idiot, did such a thing. I'll have him send you away right away. There's really no need for you to get involved in such a dangerous matter."
The apology was sincere.
Kashiwagi's originally little anger quickly dissipated. After all, he already owed Shan Minoru a favor, whether it was a bell of comfort or to increase the popularity of the store.
The key point is that the other party had no intention of cheating him, but just used the opportunity of picking him up and dropping him off to create some alibis. There was no loss to him, and it was even equivalent to seeing the world.
If there will be no follow-up involvement, there is no need for compensation.
And to be honest, there was no need to tell him these things. Keeping him in the dark would not have any consequences in the end.
But Shan Min still said it.
why?
Because you showed disgust towards the stolen goods?
Kashiwagi was silent for a while, then said, "I have another question."
"You ask."
Shan Min looked like he was ready to tell you everything he knew.
"What is this thing?"
He raised the wooden sign and looked at Wu who was standing beside him. "I didn't get an answer until now."
"This is the Dragon Card, a symbol of a dragon trainer's identity. Every mature dragon trainer will be awarded the Dragon Card." Wu met Shan Min's surprised eyes and said, "The fact that you have this thing can only mean two things.
"One, your parents or ancestors are dragon trainers; two, your parents or ancestors know a dragon trainer. I personally think you should be a descendant of the dragon people."
"Ah? Why?"
Kashiwagi was stunned for a moment.
"Your eyes and eyebrows are very much like those of a dragon!" Awu gave a reason that left him speechless.
Shan Min couldn't help but interrupt, "Your ancestor was a dragon tamer?"
"I do not know!"
"If your ancestor was a dragon tamer, your ability as a trainer and other talents might prove it."
Shan Min nodded seriously, "I see, no wonder I always thought you didn't fit in here, it turns out you're not a native of Huangtie Town at all!"
What the hell...
Kashiwagi was speechless. His original intention was not to recognize an ancestor for himself, but Awu and Shan Minoru both looked as if he had been chosen.
Chapter 126: Stick to Principles
The three of them resolved some unnecessary misunderstandings.
Kashiwagi was forced to recognize an ancestor.
All are happy.
Awu even expressed that after the end, he was willing to take him back to his roots and find out where he came from.
Just listening to it gives me a headache.
"I'll take you back first, and then come back here to implement the plan." Shan Min inserted the car key.
"and many more."
Kashiwagi grabbed his wrist and stopped Takeru who was about to get off the car, "Are you two the only ones doing this?"
"Yes, at the moment. The situation in Huangtie Town is complicated. The more people know about it, the more dangerous it is for us." Shan Min seemed to understand something. "You want to help us?"
"Ah."
He nodded. "Although I don't know how you can create an alibi, there are only two of you. It's very dangerous in every way, right? It's not very convenient either."
"really……"
Shan Min had no intention of hiding anything.
And Wu's expression changed. "You shouldn't get involved. You are still very young. This is too dangerous."
"So you want me to go back and wait for news? Even though you've repeatedly said that I won't be implicated, what if the mission fails? There are only two of you, and I don't know how confident you are. Anyway, I don't want to 'wait and die'."
Kashiwagi gave a valid reason.
"Besides, I owe you a favor. It's also very annoying to see poachers selling other people's Pokémon. There's no reason to stand by and watch - I may not be as strong as you, but I guess fighting isn't all part of your action plan?"
"Just like you said."
Shan Min's smile became brighter.
but.
Although Kashiwagi really hated poachers and wanted to repay Shan Minoru's kindness, the biggest reason for participating in this dangerous plan was that he was unwilling to give up the clues.
He understood that he needed to take the initiative in everything, just like when he kidnapped Kokodora. If he had not returned to the underground pit that day, he would never have obtained the huge monster today.
The opportunity is right in front of you. If you really choose to retreat because of cowardice, then the second place clue reward - an excellent dragon-attribute Pokémon will be gone with the wind.
Kashiwagi has never lacked an adventurous spirit, just like how he dared to rush to the command post to find Ayana after listening only to the one-sided explanation of the female driver Terry.
The future is created through hard work!
Ah Wu's expression was very conflicted. He was already helpless enough to ask Shan Minoru to get involved in this matter. What was the point of involving the dragon tamer's wandering descendants?
But he also felt that the other party's reasons were very legitimate.
"Well, they have encountered more dangerous situations than you, and they know better how to protect themselves. Don't worry about it anymore." Shan Minoru came out to persuade him, looking at Kashiwagi, "We are indeed in need of help. Are you really willing to help us?"
"Of course!"
"Then I couldn't be more pleased. In that case, let me briefly explain our plans and ideas."
He described the task process as concisely as possible.
When it comes to what Kashiwagi can do - there is, and a lot.
Leaving aside the plan itself, once the plan succeeds, with the auction’s strong background, the entire Huangtie Town will definitely be blocked off, and not even a fly will be able to fly out.
So Awu and the single-headed dragons need a safe hiding place.
This kind of place is not easy to find. If Kashiwagi is willing to help, we can arrange it where he lives.
When the auction house's backstage realizes that they cannot find the murderer, they will be unable to withstand the pressure in a few days at most and will choose to lower the alert level by several levels. When the dust settles, Awu will find an opportunity to leave here.
And there is no doubt that there is only one company that can block the entire Huangtie Town.
Mayor's power.
This auction house is operated by him behind the scenes. Any attack on the auction house is tantamount to attacking his life. It is normal for him to go crazy.
But when it comes to this, Kashiwagi's expression looks a little strange.
"We only target single-headed dragons?"
"That's it for now."
"Then why don't you just buy it? Isn't it safer to buy it? If it's a money issue, I can help—"
"No, it has nothing to do with money."
Shan Minoru shook his head. Awu beside him looked at him with a burning gaze, and said, "Some principles cannot be compromised. If someone steals or robs Pokémon, and we buy them back with money, everyone will live in peace? There is no such thing in the world."
"Yes, I know I can buy it back with money, but why?" A Wu said confidently: "We won't give them a penny of this money. We will even smash this store! Take away everything..."
Shan Min interrupted, "You can't take everything away, that's just bragging."
"Uh, hahahaha, indeed."
Awu scratched his head in embarrassment.
Hearing this, Kashiwagi wanted to refute them and tell them that if they had no power, they would have to compromise. If they had enough power to destroy the entire dungeon, why would they bother to create an alibi?
But when the words reached his throat, he froze.
What was he planning to do? Was he planning to persuade Shan Min and the others to give up their principles? He was willing to endure for a while and the world would be brighter?
how is this possible.
There is no way to be free and unrestrained. If you endure for a while, you will get angrier. If you take a step back, you will lose more. For those who stick to their principles, losing principles means losing faith.
Why did he spend so much money to give back to his hometown? It was also to stick to his own principles. If he was willing to compromise, his wealth could have increased several times.
so close.
Kashiwagi took a deep breath, feeling that he had almost taken a step towards a scumbag with no bottom line. "I made a slip of the tongue, so please tell me what to do next?"
Upon hearing this, Shan Min and Awu looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
-
Lean less.
Kashiwagi returned to the meeting place with "Yamaminori" and Alakazam.
"Are there so many Ditto these days that they can be seen everywhere?" He looked at "Yan Min" who was sitting next to him, wearing a pair of sunglasses to cover his big eyes, and felt a little curious.
"That's not the case. I borrowed this Pokémon. Although it has some shortcomings in terms of turning into a human, it won't matter as long as I wear a pair of sunglasses."
Shan Minoru's voice came through the tiny headset.
In the original plan, "Yamaminori" was to serve as a mascot from beginning to end. Now with the help of Kashiwagi, it can be further high-profile and enhance its presence.
In other words, participate in the auction.
Kashiwagi once suggested that they might compete for the single-headed dragon, but was rejected by Yamaminoru, who set his sights on another Pokémon with psychic attributes.
Of course, I won’t win the bid in the end, and even if I do, I won’t pay for it. I would rather pay the penalty and let it fail.
"The people at the auction have investigated my preferences. Bidding on a single dragon will only cause unnecessary trouble." This is how Shan Min explained.
Seeing that the other party was so cautious, Kashiwagi naturally didn't say much.
