Pokémon: Master System.

This is only an A-grade Life Orb. The price of an S-grade Life Orb is beyond imagination, and can even exceed nine figures.

Such a precious prop is definitely not something Hao Saihong could possess.

"Where did you get this from?" Xia Yu couldn't help but ask.

Chapter 215 The Death of Hao Saihong

Hao Saihong looked bitter. This S-grade Life Orb was his biggest catch from his last poaching. He found the Life Orb and a powerful monster, Absol, in a dangerous place in the Shenlong Mountain wilderness area of ​​Jingchu Province.

They split into two teams: one team distracted Absol, while the other team stormed into Absol's lair and discovered two elf eggs and the Orb of Life.

In order to keep the Life Orb for himself, Hao Saihong killed two of his subordinates who were traveling with him. As for the two Absol's elf eggs, Hao Saihong handed them over truthfully.

After obtaining this S-grade life orb, he dared not show it to outsiders and kept it hidden away in fear, with no one knowing about it. Unexpectedly, it ended up benefiting Xia Yu.

…………

Faced with Xia Yu's questioning, Hao Saihong had no choice but to bite the bullet and reveal the origin of the Life Pearl: "It was found in a cave in the Shenlong Mountain wilderness area of ​​Jingchu Province..."

Hao Saihong recounted the origin of the Pearl of Life in detail, but concealed the fact that he had committed murder.

"Xia Yu, I've given you the treasure. Can you let us leave now?" Hao Saihong looked at Xia Yu, feeling slightly nervous, but still trying to appear calm as he asked.

“Okay,” Xia Yu said with a smile, seemingly genuinely intending to let Hao Saihong leave.

Hearing Xia Yu's affirmative reply, Hao Saihong breathed a sigh of relief and then called to his three subordinates to prepare to leave: "Let's go."

"Wait a minute." Xia Yu suddenly spoke up leisurely, "I didn't promise that all of you could leave. I only promised that only one of the four of you could leave."

After hearing Xia Yu's words, Hao Saihong's face turned ashen, and his three subordinates turned deathly pale. One of them shouted, "No, Xia Yu, you can't do this! Please let us go! I'll give you all my money!"

"Please let us go..."

Despite the pleas for mercy, Xia Yu remained unmoved and indifferent. His gaze remained fixed on Hao Saihong, because from the very beginning, Xia Yu had never intended to let Hao Saihong leave.

When dealing with enemies, Xia Yu always maintained one attitude: no means necessary, and absolutely no mercy. Any so-called leniency, showing mercy, or even mutual respect with the enemy was, in Xia Yu's view, utterly foolish.

An enemy is an enemy, and that is an unchangeable fact. No matter how talented, beautiful, or tragic the person may be, as long as they are an enemy, there is no way to show them mercy.

Moreover, when Xia Yu took Hao Saihong's S-rank item, the Life Orb, the two were already locked in a life-or-death struggle. Xia Yu wanted nothing more than to eliminate him completely, so how could he possibly let him go?

Kindness and gentleness are always reserved for those close to us, while ruthlessness is naturally used against enemies. Different stances inevitably lead to different attitudes.

Countless examples tell us that we must be ruthless to our enemies and have no mercy whatsoever. Lux and Sylas are prime examples of this.

As for those who might criticize Xia Yu for being immoral and dishonest from a saintly perspective, I'm joking! As long as I'm immoral, no one can hold me accountable!

Perhaps sensing the naked killing intent in Xia Yu's eyes, Hao Saihong chose to remain silent, abandoning his three subordinates without uttering a word or even arguing.

Seeing this, Xia Yu felt a little regretful. Hao Saihong was truly good at enduring hardship, but this only strengthened Xia Yu's determination to kill him.

Just then, one of Hao Saihong's three men, a young man with a buzz cut and a short stature of about 1.7 meters, kept his head down and remained silent from the beginning, never once thinking of begging for mercy.

"Brother Hao!" The young man suddenly called out to Hao Saihong, shouting, "Please take good care of my sister and mother for me. This is my bank card, and the password is my sister's birthday."

Hao Saihong sighed slightly, looking at the young man with a hint of pity: "Don't worry, Xiao Gao, I will take care of your sister and mother. I originally planned to take you as my apprentice when I went back this time, but I didn't expect to encounter this situation."

"Brother Hao, it's alright. I'll be your disciple again in the next life."

Xia Yu chose to ignore the conversation between Hao Saihong and Xiao Gao, standing aside and watching coldly without being moved.

However, at this moment, the scene suddenly changed. The young man whom Hao Saihong called Xiao Gao suddenly turned cold and shouted, "Attack! Guai Li, kill Hao Saihong, don't give him a chance."

Guai Li had clearly received Xiao Gao's order long ago. Almost the instant Xiao Gao spoke, Guai Li launched a sudden attack on Hao Saihong at the same time. The attack was extremely fast, clearly intended to kill him with one blow.

No one expected that Xiao Gao, who was still showing affection for his master and apprentice, would suddenly take action. Xiao Gao even said to the other two, "Let's attack together and kill Hao Saihong first, or we'll all die."

Upon hearing Xiao Gao's words, the other two also realized what was happening, gritted their teeth, and gave the order at the same time.

"Crossbat attack!"

"Garra garra, kill Hao Saihong!"

…………

"I've been on guard against you little brats for a while now! Gengar!" Hao Saihong was also an old fox. Ever since Xia Yu said that only one of his men could survive, he had been on guard against his three subordinates to avoid being caught off guard.

My conversation with Xiao Gao just now was just a pretense.

Seeing this scene, Xia Yu sneered inwardly. It was like dogs fighting, but it was fine as long as Hao Saihong could be killed.

"Galarede, Aerodactyl, stop Gengar and Hao Saihong's other Pokémon!"

No one expected Xia Yu to make a move at this moment. Although he did not attack Hao Saihong directly, having Gallade and Aerodactyl block Hao Saihong's Pokémon was no different from killing him!

"No! You can't do this, you promised..." Hao Saihong's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at Xia Yu, shocked by Xia Yu's shamelessness!

Xia Yu, who comes from a prestigious family, would choose to treat him this way. Isn't he afraid that when these three people go back to give their statements, they will reveal his crimes and ruin his reputation?

Hao Saihong chose to believe Xia Yu for another reason: the patrol team is not allowed to kill poachers without being in danger.

This is also the helplessness of many people. It only takes a guess and an impulse for a bad person to kill, but if a bad person wants to be tried, they need to go through a series of procedures.

Therefore, as long as Hao Saihong surrenders, Xia Yu can only capture him and take him back, not kill him. If Xia Yu doesn't let him leave, he would dare to expose Xia Yu's crimes, but now Xia Yu is clearly trying to eliminate him completely.

Isn't Xia Yu afraid that the two other patrol members beside him will leak his secrets? Isn't he afraid that his own subordinates will report him for indiscriminately killing innocent people? Isn't he afraid that the patrol team will find out that he killed people?

Does Xia Yu intend to kill them all?!

Hao Saihong had too many questions and resentments, but the monstrous fist had already struck him, knocking him to the ground. He spat out blood and died almost instantly, barely clinging to life.

"what!"

Immediately afterwards, the crackling bone club smashed his sternum, causing Hao Saihong to cry out in pain. But the cry was quickly cut short as the cross-bat had already cleaved his body into several pieces.

Hao Saihong died, killed by his own men, in a very tragic way.

Chapter 216 Gao Yanxin

After Hao Saihong died, only his three subordinates remained standing in the same spot.

The poachers' brutality and Hao Saihong's gruesome dismemberment made Zhao Ruohan's face turn pale, and she couldn't help but feel nauseous. If she hadn't been holding back her nausea, she would have vomited long ago.

Compared to Zhao Ruohan, Xie Tianming was clearly much better, because he had also been out there for several years and had much more experience than Zhao Ruohan, and had also seen many dead people.

Xia Yu was also in a bad mood, but he tried his best to remain calm and looked at the remaining three people in front of him, especially the young man named Xiao Gao.

After Hao Saihong's death, the atmosphere among the three became noticeably strange. Everyone wanted to survive, and they looked at the other two with wary expressions, none of them trusting the other.

However, they also discovered that who would survive was entirely in Xia Yu's hands. If Xia Yu blocked someone's Pokémon in the same way he had blocked Hao Saihong's Pokémon, that person would surely die.

"Zhao Ruohan. Xie Tianming." Xia Yu's voice suddenly rang out, sentencing the two to death: "You two each take care of one, leaving only the one called Xiao Gao."

"no, do not want!"

"Please, please let me go! No!"

The two men pleaded for mercy, but Xia Yu remained indifferent, heartless, and unmoved.

Upon hearing Xia Yu's words, Xie Tianming's expression changed slightly, but he did not hesitate at all. He took a deep breath and commanded the Infernape to attack one of them without hesitation.

Zhao Ruohan gritted her teeth, looked at Xia Yu, and finally ordered the Snowflake Moth to attack the other person.

Xia Yu could have handled it himself, but he chose to let Xie Tianming and Zhao Ruohan do it, partly to test their mental fortitude and partly to make them prove their loyalty.

Even if Xia Yu was willing to trust the two, he had to be extremely cautious in this matter. Only if Zhao Ruohan and Xie Tianming also violated the rules and chose to kill could the three of them be considered teammates in the same trench for the time being.

As Zhao Ruohan and Xie Tianming took action, the other two died amidst shrill screams. Now, the original four-person poacher team is reduced to just "Xiao Gao".

"Your name is Xiao Gao, right?" Xia Yu looked at Xiao Gao, his tone relaxed, as if he were chatting casually: "What's your full name?"

"Gao Hai." Xiao Gao was also extremely nervous at this moment, after all, his life was still in Xia Yu's hands.

"Did you bring your identification? Let me see." Xia Yu was as cautious as ever, clearly not quite believing him: "I remember that people in your line of work always carry these documents with them, and there are quite a few fake ones."

Xiao Gao was silent for a moment, then took out his documents from his bag. Just as Xia Yu had said, there was a stack of bank cards, driver's licenses, ID cards and other documents, many of which were fake.

Xia Yu saw Gao Hai's name on one of the documents, but Xia Yu did not believe that this was Gao's real name.

People who engage in Pokémon poaching usually carry their credentials with them at all times, and often have several on hand. This serves two purposes: to deal with various inspections and to ensure they feel safe only when they have these documents on their person.

"I'm giving you one last chance. I need real identification." Xia Yu looked at Xiao Gao: "Don't try to play so many tricks. If you want to keep the other three company, you can try to provoke me again."

After a moment of silence, Xiao Gao took out his real ID from a hidden compartment in his inner garment.

Xia Yu looked at the name on the document. Sure enough, the name was not Gao Hai, but Gao Yanxin, and the place of household registration was in Bodao City, Xishu Province.

“That’s right. Don’t be so tense, relax. I promised Hao Saihong I’d release one person, and I’ll release one person.” Xia Yu looked at Gao Yanxin and asked, “Are you from Bodao City? I just heard Hao Saihong say you have a younger sister and a mother?”

Hearing Xia Yu's words, Gao Yanxin's face darkened, but he dared not speak out. He looked at Xia Yu, who was smiling, and nodded stiffly: "That's right."

"I'm not killing you because there's something I want you to do." Xia Yu's mention of Gao Yanxin's sister and mother was also a warning and a test for him.

It's clear from Hao Saihong's words that Gao Yanxin does indeed have a younger sister and a mother at home, but Xia Yu can't be sure about his relationship with his family. After all, Gao Yanxin and Hao Saihong had just put on a show of deep teacher-student affection.

"I hope you can be an inside man. After you go back this time, try your best to climb up the ranks and get into the upper echelons of the Mike Group." Xia Yu paused slightly at this point, "Don't worry, I will not only provide you with assistance, but I will also take good care of your family so that you won't have any worries."

Gao Yanxin naturally understood Xia Yu's words. If he cooperated, his family would be taken care of. If he didn't cooperate, the outcome would be obvious.

Faced with Xia Yu's threat, Gao Yanxin had no choice but to agree.

"Okay, I promise you," Gao Yanxin replied painfully.

"Xie Tianming, you and Xiao Gao get to know each other. You two will be in charge of communication from now on. Zhao Ruohan and I will be leaving the patrol team at the end of this month, and you will be in charge of the patrol team here," Xia Yu said to Xie Tianming.
