Pokémon: Master System.

The banquet ended at midnight. Xia Yu's face was slightly flushed. He had drunk a little wine at the end, but he was only slightly tipsy.

This trip to Siam was quite fruitful. Not only did it open up new opportunities in Siam, but it also yielded news about the Dreamland, which was a pleasant surprise.

Of course, the most important thing was that they obtained three Gigantamax Pokémon, which greatly improved Team Rocket's strength.

Although one of them was given to Jiang Yu, Xia Yu could freely distribute the remaining two.

Xia Yu's initial plan was to give one to Shui Yutu as compensation and the other to Long Yanning.

The Rockets need to continue strengthening their roster. Currently, their roster is still lacking on paper, as they have few truly top-tier players besides their mainstay.

At the same time, Xia Yu can begin preparations for entering the Odomare Secret Realm.

Compared to other matters, Odomare's matter is of paramount importance. At that time, he will face enemies including the Pokémon Association of China, the Pokémon Association of Japan, and the Coffin.

Ever since his defeat at Maye's hands, Xia Yu has become extremely cautious; he needs to further improve his strength.

Relying solely on near-master level Iron Warriors is not enough!

It would be great if Zekrom could break through to the near-master level.

…………

In addition, revenge also needs to be put on the agenda.

Maye...

As Xia Yu pondered his future, he walked toward his room, accompanied by a young and beautiful staff member.

The woman's eyes sparkled as she looked at Xia Yu with a gaze that was both fiery and bold.

Although she didn't recognize "Sakaki", she knew Som and Xie Shuen.

Judging from the way Som and Xie Shuen treated "Sakaki", it is not hard to see that the person beside them is of noble status.

If only I could connect with the man next to me...

The woman warmly supported Xia Yu, and the faint fragrance made Xia Yu feel refreshed and relaxed. He couldn't help but think to himself that this was a truly extravagant and decadent lifestyle.

To the woman's disappointment, Xia Yu showed no interest in her even as he walked to the door of the private room, and in the end, she could only leave with resentment in her eyes.

…………

As soon as Xia Yu pushed open the door, Darkrai, who was hiding in the shadows, immediately spoke up: "There's someone in the bedroom."

As Darkrai's voice rang out, Xia Yu instantly snapped out of his daze, frowning as he looked into the room.

Is someone inside?

Xia Yu had already guessed who was in the bedroom when Darkrai's voice rang out again: "It's those two women from the iron cage."

"..."

Xia Yu rubbed his throbbing head, a bitter smile playing on his lips, and went into the bedroom.

The subtle aroma of incense and the soft lighting created an ambiguous atmosphere, stirring Xia Yu's heartstrings.

Xia Yu sighed, first turning off the ambient light, then turning on the main light, before finally focusing her gaze on the large red bed.

Beneath the red bedding, two human figures were outlined, their bodies shifting restlessly, accompanied by rapid breathing.

You could tell the two women on the bed were very nervous.

Xia Yu walked to the bedside table, turned off the aromatherapy that emitted an ambiguous fragrance, and tried his best to make his expression serious. Then he pulled back the covers, revealing two beautiful faces.

Exquisite makeup, hair scattered on the sheets, and black and white lace eye masks created a striking visual impact on Xia Yu. Their hands were handcuffed behind their backs to the bedside; their expressions were delicate, their faces flushed, ready to be taken advantage of.

At the same time, Xia Yu could clearly see the Adam's apples moving, the two swallowing nervously, their chests heaving, clearly extremely tense.

"Alright, you can leave now." Xia Yu's voice rang out with difficulty. For a passionate young man, resisting the temptation before him was simply too difficult.

He walked to the bedside and unlocked the handcuffs on the two men: "We don't need you here."

Upon hearing Xia Yu's voice and feeling the restraints on their wrists being released, the two women trembled slightly. They reached out and slowly pulled down their blindfolds. The glaring light made them uncomfortable, and it took them several breaths to adjust to the bright light before they finally focused their gaze on "Sakaki".

“No…no.” The woman wearing a white blindfold looked tense and spoke in a cold voice, gritting her teeth as she looked at Xia Yu and said, “We…can’t leave. We have to stay with you. He told us that we either stay with you alone or with all of them.”

The other woman wearing a black eye patch nodded, her voice soft and sweet: "They...they won't let us leave, Boss Sakaki, please let us stay here."

The two looked at Sakaki. Before they came here, they had witnessed the miserable state of other people who had been kidnapped here.

They were undoubtedly lucky. Since they were kidnapped here a couple of days ago, Xie Shuen had been treating them to good food and drink and was very polite to them.

And all they need to do is one thing: they must be obedient and keep "Sakaki" company, otherwise their fate will be worse than others.

Hearing the two women pleading and seeing their tense and frightened expressions, Xia Yu's distracting thoughts dissipated, and he sighed inwardly.

He certainly knew the methods of Xie Shuen's men.

No matter who you are, once you come here, they have plenty of ways to make them obedient and compliant.

Xia Yu's gaze fell on the two women, his expression solemn. Then he picked up his phone and called Xie Shu'en.

Chapter 570 Daily Life in Starlight City

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Xie Shuen gazed at the bustling Golden City. Looking at the phone call from Sakaki, her eyes flickered, and she let out a knowing laugh: "Boss Sakaki, how is it? Are you satisfied with the gift I sent?"

"Xie Shuen, I've said I don't like this kind of gift." Xia Yu's voice was serious, carrying the authority of a superior: "Let them leave, and don't make things difficult for them."

"Boss Sakaki..." Hearing Xia Yu's words, Xie Shuen's voice became fearful and apprehensive. He thought to himself that Sakaki really had a soft spot for women: "I spent a lot of money to get them, and you're just going to let them go like this?"

At this point, Xie Shuen suddenly changed his tone and continued, "Of course, if you say you'll release them, then you'll release them. At worst, we'll just lose some money."

"But... Mr. Sakaki, they know your identity, and they also know mine. If we let them return to China, it might cause a lot of unnecessary trouble." Xie Shuen on the other end of the phone feigned a troubled expression, with a faint smile on his face: "One of them is an internet celebrity. If they post something online, it might cause a lot of trouble."

"Just to be on the safe side, if you really aren't interested in them, then... I'll have to get rid of them. But don't worry, just say the word and I'll make sure they're well taken care of. They'll be there for you whenever you're interested."

Xie Shuen's lips curled up slightly; he had now handed the choice over to "Sakaki".

He was very curious about what choice Sakaki would make in this situation.

Should we kill them or spare their lives?

The conditions have been set for "Sakaki," now it's up to him to decide what to do.

"Mr. Sakaki, to be honest, it's just two women. Everyone needs to relax a bit..."

…………

Xia Yu knew what Xie Shuen meant, and he knew that Xie Shuen was trying to put him in a difficult position, trying to create conditions for him and send people to his door.

He took a deep breath and looked at the two women.

They trembled in the corner like lambs to the slaughter, looking helplessly at Xia Yu, not daring to say a word.

Xia Yu held the phone in his hand and slowly spoke: "Xie Shuen, you are a smart person. You deliberately created favorable conditions and didn't even give me any reason to refuse. But I don't like being led by the nose, and I prefer obedient people to smart people."

"Don't waste your time and energy on me in the future."

"Okay, okay." Xie Shuen replied respectfully on the other end of the phone, "I promise there won't be a next time, but... Mr. Sakaki, what should we do with the two of them? You need to give me a definite answer."

Hearing Xie Shuen's words, Xia Yu also felt a headache coming on. If he let these two go back and reported them to the China Pokémon Association and the Siamese Pokémon Association, it might cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Mr. Sakaki, if you really don't like them, I'll take care of them. Of course, if you do like them, I'll definitely serve you well..."

"You say something, and I'll do as you say."

Xia Yu's eyes flickered; Xie Shuen had really given him a difficult problem.

Power and strength are truly fascinating and frightening things.

Two young women, two vibrant lives, were, in Xie Shuen's eyes, merely gifts to please him.

Xia Yu only needs to say one sentence to decide the fate of these two people.

Power is always so fascinating.

"Let them stay," Xia Yu said.

Xie Shuen smiled and said, "Enjoy your meal slowly."

After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu turned his gaze to the two of them: "You two stay here tonight and sleep outside."

The two stared at "Sakaki" in astonishment, never expecting that a criminal known as the 8th most dangerous criminal would make such a decision.

"By the way, what are your names?" Xia Yu frowned as he looked at the two women.

"My name is Pei Wanlian."

"My name is Qiu Xue."

"Alright, you can leave now." Xia Yu waved his hand impatiently, feeling somewhat irritated.

If it weren't for the concerns about Long Yanning, Xiao Wanyu, and Su Muzi, he would have already ceased to be human and wouldn't need to worry about so much.

To Xia Yu's surprise, the two of them stayed in place, staring at him without moving, and their faces were slightly flushed.

“Sakaki… Boss. Mr. Xie… said we have to stay with… you. Otherwise…”

"Do you think it's up to me or him to decide?" Xia Yu asked.

"Please... save us."
