Pokémon: What should I do? My father-in-law always wants to tear me apart

"This is the Dragon Pillar, Regiselago?"

On the gloomy Dragon Island, the sea breeze carries a salty and astringent smell, passing through the ancient ruins of choice.

Hunter J stood tall, her black windbreaker rustling as she stared at the wounded Dragon God Pillar Regiselao, who was lying on the ground, with her delicate brows tightly furrowed and her eyes full of scrutiny.

"Master J, this is the body of Hunter A."

A cadre half-knelt beside a charred corpse and confirmed repeatedly, his voice low and somewhat cautious.

Hunter J's eyes swept over the messy traces around the corpse like a hawk, and saw that the ground was bumpy and uneven, with mottled scorch marks.

Upon seeing this, the cadre stepped forward and reported: "Based on the traces at the scene, when Hunter A was trying to capture the Dragon God Pillar, the Dragon God Pillar exploded and perished along with him."

"Acting on his own without waiting for support? How eager is this guy to take the credit!"

A sharp-faced cadre curled his lips and sneered, his tone full of disdain.

Another tall and thin cadre also echoed: "He deserves to die! He is always so weird and unbearable."

"Shut up!"

Hunter J turned his head suddenly, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and his voice was cold.

Several cadres froze and became silent in an instant, and the atmosphere became frozen.

Hunter J raised his hand and rubbed his throbbing temple, feeling very annoyed.

For the Hunter Association, there are plenty of cadres with outstanding combat capabilities, but compound talents like Hunter A who possess both strong strength and scientific research acumen are extremely rare.

She had already agreed to let Hunter A set off with the Nightmare God, and had specially arranged for Ice Wing to fight together with the Lightning Pillar, but she didn't expect that an accident would happen in the end.

After thinking for a moment, Hunter J took out a high-level ball from his waist and slowly approached the Dragon Pillar.

His fingertips trembled slightly, and he gently placed the advanced ball against the Dragon God Pillar.

With a "click" sound and a flash of light, the Dragon God Pillar was successfully subdued.

This loss must be made up from somewhere else...

At this moment, a strong airflow carrying yellow sand blew towards us.

Hunter T rode on a desert dragonfly, flew from a distance at lightning speed, and landed steadily next to Hunter J.

The desert dragonfly flapped its huge wings, stirring up a cloud of dust. When the dust settled for a while, Hunter T reported hurriedly:

"J, no wonder we had no problems entering Dragon Island. All the elders on the island fell into the nightmare created by Darkrai."

When Hunter J heard this, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

She had heard of that group of elders before. Each of them was extremely powerful. Whether it was to supplement the Hunter Association's combat power or to resell them at a high price, it could bring huge profits.

Without any hesitation, she decisively ordered: "Take all those elders away!"

"I have arranged for someone to do it."

Hunter T jumped off the back of the desert dragonfly swiftly and brushed off the dust on his body.

Hunter J nodded with satisfaction, glanced at the hunters on standby, and calmly ordered: "Then wait until Hunter C is rescued, and everyone retreat."

"Wait a moment."

Hunter T suddenly spoke in a loud voice, instantly interrupting the hunters who were about to execute the order.

Hunter J's heart tightened, and he slowly turned around, looking at Hunter T's beautiful eyes, with a barely perceptible hint of vigilance hidden in them.

Hunter T, as the nominal second-in-command of the Hunter Association, is in no way inferior to her in terms of outstanding leadership ability and extraordinary personal charm.

Once upon a time, the two of them fought openly and secretly for the position of leader of the Hunter Association.

If Hunter T had not been ruthless enough and if his own methods had not been fierce, he would have eliminated several cadres who were unwilling to support him, and the outcome would still be unknown.

From then on, Hunter J was always wary of Hunter T.

Hunter T's abilities are too outstanding, and it would be a pity to kill him, but in view of his past, he dare not entrust him with important tasks.

Because of this, Hunter J would never let him show up unless it was a major operation like this one where the entire Hunter Association was mobilized.

"What is the problem?"

Hunter J appeared calm on the surface and spoke in a calm tone, but he was already alert on the inside, paying close attention to Hunter T's every move.

The sea breeze carried a strong salty smell as it whistled through the ruins of Dragon Island, causing the hunters' clothes to rustle in the wind.

Hunter T took a half step forward, his voice low but clear, attracting special attention amid the noisy wind:

"Why do we have to leave right away? We are all mobilized this time. It would be a pity to give up so easily."

Hunter J frowned, his eyes were sharp, and he responded coldly:

"The research ship that suddenly appeared may be related to China. Once the news leaks out and attracts a large force from the alliance, they will surround this place and the Hunter Association will be in dire straits, or even face the risk of being wiped out."

Hunter T shook his head slightly, glanced at the restless hunters around him, and continued to persuade:

"But it's just a research ship. This island has always been the focus of the alliance. After this evacuation, we may never have the chance to get our hands on those precious and rare dragon Pokémon on the island again."

These words were like dropping a huge rock into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples. The hunters' eyes showed greed, and they looked at each other, then looked at Hunter J with suspicion.

In their minds, the Pokémon on the island meant huge wealth, and Hunter J's evacuation order made them feel unwilling.

Hunter J noticed the strangeness of the crowd and turned back suddenly. His sharp eyes swept across like a sharp blade.

When those dissatisfied hunters met her gaze, they immediately lowered their heads as if they were electrocuted, and dared not do anything rash again.

After all, they all knew that Hunter J was ruthless and that those who disobeyed his orders would suffer miserably.

After beating his men, Hunter J fell into deep thought.

This opportunity is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it would be a pity to give it up, but the safety of the Hunter Association cannot be underestimated.

"Of course, I am only making suggestions. The final decision still lies with Master J."

Hunter T said this and took a step back calmly with a humble attitude.

Hunter J looked at Hunter T's actions and felt quite satisfied.

Compared to those subordinates who appear to be obedient but actually disobey her orders and are only afraid of her strength and means, Hunter T, a capable subordinate who knows how to save face for her, is more favored by her.

Unfortunately, it was Hunter T who had competed with him for the position of leader of the association.

Otherwise, with his abilities, Hunter J would definitely train him as a confidant, just like he did with Tang Chen.

After thinking for a while, Hunter J weighed the pros and cons and finally said, "Then let's do as T says."

"Yes!" the hunters responded in unison.

At the moment when everyone turned around and was busy, Hunter T slightly turned sideways, and at an angle that no one could see, a cold smile appeared on his face, and his eyes revealed an elusive depth.
