Pokémon: Hoenn Storm

Chapter 725

Caiyou City, Alliance Headquarters.

The front door of Moqi's luxurious residence slowly opened.

Mo Qi, who was always well-dressed and whose suit style wouldn't change for several months, now looked lost.

The suit was hanging loosely on the hands, and the shirt was a little more wrinkled. The whole person looked blurred, but it didn't look like he was drunk.

Along the way, the staff who also went to the alliance headquarters to start their day's work and knew nothing about the coup d'etat last night could not help but look sideways when they saw such an immediate boss.

However, at this time, Mo Qi didn't care about these at all, and walked towards the headquarters with a slightly staggering footsteps.

sleepless nights.

The communication between Fumio Nagashima and Drizzt directly put him on the blacklist.

Although Chi Yansong, who had been promised a lot of money, was willing to accept the communication, he only gave him gentle words and condolences, allowing him to delay for more time at the headquarters. He did not mention the follow-up matters at all, and sent him away with the sentence "I will thank you deeply when the job is done."

After decades of ups and downs in the officialdom, how could Mo Qi not understand what all this means?

Having fought hard all his life within the rules, he naturally had a backup plan.

As the final winner at the top of the intricate alliance bureaucracy, he thinks he is in control of everything, and this kind of cooperation is no exception.

He left behind evidence of the guilt of every participant, enough to form a complete chain and kill everyone.

But after a night of thinking, he suddenly discovered that for all parties that relied on the ensuing life-and-death fight, this kind of "within the rules" back-up plan was already worthless.

The huge system achieved his status, but it also completely bound his thoughts within it. Facing the "crazy people" who were beyond control and beyond the rules, he became extremely powerless.

Only then did he realize that for an individual whose entire energy relies on the system, a transaction that uses selling the existing system as a bargaining chip will inevitably be impossible to achieve, or in other words, inevitable when faced with desperadoes who will use all possible means. Impossible to cash out.

Because selling out means breaking away, and being separated from the system, he is just an ordinary individual.

At this moment, it was too late to realize this. He did not control the specific armed forces and had no ability to change the situation.

There are only two choices left for him:

According to the arrangement of Chi Yansong, a little brat that he looked down upon at all, he prayed that he would not ignore him and pretend that nothing happened at the headquarters until the champion who was active in the southeastern waters discovered everything, came to the door, and killed him without any trace. Kill without mercy.

Or, pack up the soft, use the existing bargaining chips, get out in time, run away, and minimize losses as much as possible.

For him, in theory there was nothing to hesitate about, but in practice it was not.

In a daze, he walked into the building where he had worked for most of his life. Several loyal and reliable subordinates were waiting in front of the door.

The people standing guard were also subordinates of several squad captains of the direct troops who had been bribed.

Oh, the so-called loyalty and reliability are just that I haven't found the right price and don't know where to go.

Thinking like this, Mo Qi shook his head, pulled himself together, and went to find Kensaku who had woken up. He still wanted to try.
-
"Your Excellency Chairman, how are you resting?"

After changing into a decent suit to cover up the exhaustion from a sleepless night, Mochi sat in front of Kensaku with the usual attitude of being in control of everything. His politeness was respectful, but there was also a hint of arrogance looking down on him.

"Mochi, your fingernails aren't done well enough."

In the room that was empty except for a hospital bed bound to him, Kensaku just glanced at it, said something lightly, and then kept silent.

".You frame me."

He subconsciously covered up his nails, and then he thought that before he set off, he habitually trimmed his nails, which was an instinct formed by his years of work.

Such a move exposed his insecurity and made Kensaku understand a lot.

He secretly cried out in his heart. He knew that his words and deeds yesterday had an effect, and those desperadoes did have what he thought.

Mochi, who had played the game within the rules for so many years, left his comfort zone. As expected, many flaws were exposed and he was no longer the impeccable chief secretary.

"Don't you want to talk to me? For example, you, the champion, or the battle that is about to happen or is even happening?"

Pretending to be relaxed, Mochi once again raised the topic.

"."

Kensaku just closed his eyes and meditated.

"Or, your Excellency, the chairman, really wants to see the gods of the sea and the land come to a life-and-death war? In that case, your beloved alliance may be wiped out, whether it is the two powerful gods in the alliance Neither existence nor the champion can stop the gods in their heyday, can they?"

Mo Qi was a little reluctant and further stirred up Kensaku's emotions.

"."

Kensaku still closed his eyes to rest, and even moved his body slightly to make the light less dazzling.

"Are you mute, stupid, or simply dead?"

Mo Qi's patience was somewhat exhausted. He was impatient and could no longer maintain his original elegance and decency. He stood up abruptly and raised his volume a little.

In the corner of the room, there stood Bock, the chairman's personal secretary who had not been controlled for some reason.

Seeing his immediate boss, Mr. Mo Qi, losing his composure, he frowned slightly, showing a disappointed look.

"Hey, you are much more embarrassed now than you were a few years ago, or a few days ago, Mo Qi. Aren't you going to admit your stupidity? Then no one can save you."

Kensaku let out a long sigh, seeming to feel sorry for this "old colleague" who had both cooperated and struggled within the headquarters.

"Save me? Kensaku, I think you made something wrong? The question is who can save you."

With a sneer, Mo Qi's tone became colder and he no longer used basic honorifics.

"Well, this is also a problem, but you can say that no one will come to save me, so what? My life is as light as a feather, why should I care? It's you, Mo Qi. You betrayed In order to cultivate the alliance's civilian official system that led you to today, you also betrayed the alliance. In the end? In the end, you got nothing, and even lost your own life. That's right, in this way, you will be recorded in history. the only possible way."

After being forcibly awakened after being seriously injured, Kensaku, who was extremely weak, steeled himself, and for the first time in a verbal confrontation, he bitterly suppressed Mochi, which made him feel a little more happy.

"You can't get anything? Then I'm afraid you underestimate me. I will kill you first, and then take advantage of the chaos in Fengyuan to take money that you can't even imagine in your life, and go to a place where no one can find it. What can you do to me? You are just a bad old man lying here and doing nothing!"

Anger made Mo Qi's face slightly distorted. He had already forgotten the purpose of coming here today. The night of anxiety made him lose his mind while his blood surged.

Kicking his chair over, he walked away and slammed the door.

"A lost dog only has the power of words. Cough, cough, cough!"

Kensaku coughed violently after making a sarcastic or self-deprecating remark.

Bock hurriedly stepped forward, supported him, and gently supported Kensaku's back with concern, helping him to breathe easier, and then retreated to the corner without saying a word.

"Bo Ke, you are also a senior civil servant, right? What do you think of Mo Qi and your structure?" Qianzuo asked pretending to be unintentional as he padded the pillow behind his back to make himself more comfortable.

Squinting slightly, he saw the flash of joy in Bock's eyes, but pretended not to notice.

"The betrayal of the coalition by Mr. Mauch and some of my colleagues, and the fact that civilian officials are the cornerstone of what the coalition needs to function, has not changed and will not change."

As soon as he said this, Bock stood straight.

"Oh? So, are you the majority or the minority?"

Kensaku opened his eyes, the aura of the Heavenly King trainer should never be underestimated even in the hospital bed.

Bock only felt that he was being scrutinized by some kind of natural enemy on a certain level of life, and he instinctively felt a little afraid.

Just as he was about to speak, the overwhelmed momentum disappeared again, and Kensaku turned back into that ordinary old man, but his afro head was shaved off by Mo Qi's men.

After thinking for a moment, Mo Qi's words flashed into his mind. Bock cleared his throat and said solemnly: "I am a minority, and he is also a minority. People who don't know anything are the majority. Before this moment, I was also the majority. One member."

"Smart answer, thank you for your hard work, Bock, and of course... Ah, by the way, I'll let you meet a new friend, Den Den Mushi."

As soon as the words fell, Kensaku had been hiding them at the bottom of his tongue, shrunk them to the smallest size, and only the fingertip-sized Poké Ball was spit out and enlarged, releasing a petite Pokémon.

Also appearing at the same time was a miniature recorder.

These two things had been in his mouth for many days, and even though he was obviously seriously injured and unconscious, there was no abnormality.

Mo Qi, who lacked actual combat experience, was not Fumio Nagashima and Drizzt, but just ignored the bottom of the tongue, even if he was so cautious that he shaved his head.

"I think you can create some opportunities, Bock? Let the Dencushi go find the Lizard King and Boss Cordora."

After wiping the saliva a little, Kensaku raised his head, his eyes soft, but containing a lot of content.

"Ah yes, Your Excellency Chairman."

After being slightly surprised for a moment, Bock made a decision instantly.
-
Mochi's own office was completely gone from its usual tidy appearance.

After returning here, he realized that he had lost the final bargaining qualification.

After arranging a few subordinates to keep an eye on Kenzuo's office and maintain good communication with the troops directly under him responsible for the security of the headquarters, he packed up his things.

After the negotiation, which was not considered a negotiation, broke down, he immediately thought of escaping.

From the high-spirited plan to plot a coup against the alliance chairman, champion, and Four Heavenly Kings at the same time, to becoming the thorn in the side and outcast of all parties, it only took less than a day.

The pride of the past was gone. At this moment, he was only thinking about how to transfer the huge wealth he had accumulated to a private spaceship, and then found a reason to leave.
-
"Mr. Mochi, it's so early, do you want to go out?"

Seeing Mo Qi picking up his suitcase and dressing up for a long trip, several young staff members asked curiously.

"Well, it's a business trip, Carlos."

Unexpectedly, Mo Qi, who was originally talkative and elegant, seemed a little cold today. After uttering a few words, he quickly left.

Several young people shrugged their shoulders, only feeling a little surprised, but didn't say anything.

After all, it is very rare for a big shot like the chief secretary to be willing to deal with them.
-
The car drove to the centralized landing place for private aircraft in Caiyou.

In this city where flights are prohibited, you need to report before leaving by aircraft.

Several servants of Moqi boarded the aircraft with suitcases of various sizes, but he himself was stopped by someone.

"Sorry, sir, this place is temporarily taken over by the alliance's direct troops. Please show your ID."

A familiar face appeared in front of Mo Qi. He was one of the captains of the alliance's direct troops whom he had previously bribed, the second son of a veteran of the civil service system.

He already had an ominous premonition, but he still smiled and said hello: "Kojiro, do you want to do business like this with me?"

"I'm really sorry. I have a clear request." Kojiro shrugged apologetically.

"Okay, I understand. I'll cooperate with you! Alliance headquarters, chief secretary, Mo Qi."

Nodding slightly, Mo Qi took out his work certificate and handed it to Kojiro.

"Okay, Mr. Moqi, thank you. I'm very sorry. This is a special period. You are within the no-fly zone and are not allowed to take off without a warrant from the Chairman."

Kojiro leaned forward slightly and put the certificate back.

"No fly? Narita Kojiro, do you know who I am?"

Mo Qi took back his ID and his voice was surprisingly cold.

"Yes, Mr. Moqi, please get the warrant from the Chairman, and I will release you immediately."

Kojiro refused to give in.

"very good!"

Mo Qi had already realized something and said in a hateful voice. With a wave of his hand, several servants picked up their things and followed closely, about to return to the car.

Then, he saw a more familiar figure.

The well-dressed Bock was standing next to his car. A row of alliance-affiliated troops in combat uniforms quickly stepped forward and controlled all his servants.

"Mr. Moqi, your Excellency the Chairman has invited you."

Bowing slightly, Bock said politely, his words and demeanor were already % of Moqi's usual demeanor.
-
It was still the same room, and it was still Kensaku lying on the hospital bed.

The difference is that there are a few stubborn Moqi subordinates tied up in the corner, as well as low-level officials of two directly-affiliated troops of the alliance.

One of the biggest backgrounds in the alliance, the legendary Lizard King, stood beside Kensaku, expressionless, only when he saw Mo Qi, he showed a trace of human disgust.

This time, it was Kensaku who took the initiative to speak: "We meet again, Mochi."

"You won. Your words are law, Mr. Chairman."

His expression changed continuously, and Mo Qi finally lowered his head.

Kensaku stretched out his hand, and the two people holding Mo Qi let go. After gaining some freedom, he grabbed the tie from his neck and threw it to the ground.

In the silence, time also slowed down. Kensaku took out the communicator and pressed the number.
-
Outside the headquarters, people began to evacuate.

In the jet of flames, the alliance headquarters transformed into a giant aircraft and disappeared into the sky.
