I am the boss of Sakaki

An unexpected guest showed up.

A tall figure appeared silently at the intersection of the shadows in the passage.

He stood nearly two meters tall, shrouded in a wide, light-absorbing black robe. Most striking was the bare, pale mask covering his face, and the white hair that cascaded from the edge of his hood like an icy waterfall.

Just by standing there, the temperature in the entire passage plummeted by more than ten degrees, and a layer of white frost formed on the walls and floor at a speed visible to the naked eye. Icy cold, deadly silence, and a sense of oppression—this was the only feeling he brought to everyone.

Du didn't hesitate at all.

The moment the other party's aura was revealed and his figure condensed, alarm bells rang in his heart!

"Latias! Latios! Powerful mental thoughts! Maximum power!" Du gave the order sternly, while his right hand grabbed towards his chest like lightning, ready to pull out the Light Stone that contained destructive power!

However, the masked man's reaction was so fast that it exceeded the limits of visual capture!

Just as the red light in Latias and Latios' eyes surged and the terrifying telekinesis was about to burst out -

The masked man left a faint afterimage on the spot, and appeared directly behind the two legendary Pokémon as if teleporting!

He didn't even make any extra movements, just stomped his foot lightly and casually, as if he was crushing a fallen leaf.

Snap, snap——!

A teeth-grinding sound of freezing instantly echoed throughout the passage! From beneath the masked man's feet, countless sharp, thick icicles gleaming with a cold blue light darted out like living venomous snakes!

They did not grow in a straight line, but with some kind of precise prediction and deadly elegance, they instantly intertwined and entangled, completely enveloping Latias and Latios!

The speed at which the icicles grew was incredibly fast. As soon as Latias and Latios lit up their energy shields in an attempt to resist, they were instantly frozen and shattered by the absolute zero-like extreme cold!

The terrifying icy energy penetrated into their bodies like a living thing, instantly solidifying their blood, nerves and even energy cores!

The two powerful legendary Pokémon were completely sealed in the huge, crystal clear ice coffin without even being able to utter a single scream. There was still a look of disbelief and astonishment in their eyes, the energy glow on their bodies dissipated into desperate starlight within the ice.

Du's pupils suddenly shrank into needle points!

Latias and Latios...were instantly killed and banned in one move?!

How can this be? !

The huge sense of crisis made him grab the Light Stone faster!

But the masked man is faster!

Freezing the two legendary Pokémon seemed to be just a casual act on his part. His figure blurred again, and like a ghost, he ignored the distance in space and instantly appeared in front of Du!

Du's fingertips had even touched the warm edge of the Light Stone!

"Hmph." A meaningless cold snort, extremely cold.

The masked man's black-gloved hand seemed slow but was actually as fast as lightning. It gently pressed on Du's chest - to be precise, it pressed on the light stone that was about to be pulled off!

Zhi——!

An indescribable extreme coldness suddenly broke out!

Du felt that the blood and energy flow in his body were forcibly solidified in an instant!

What's even more terrifying is that the surface of the Light Stone containing the power of the Tyrannosaurus Rex was instantly covered with a layer of indestructible dark blue ice crystals. The destructive energy surging inside was like frozen magma, completely silent and isolated!

The connection between Du and the Light Stone was brutally severed by this extremely cold force!

Du's movements completely froze, and for the first time, horror and a hint of...fear flashed in his eyes.

His last trump card was frozen before it was activated!

The masked man didn't give him any chance to think or fight back.

The hand that was pressing on his chest slid upwards strangely as if it had no bones, so fast that it left an afterimage, and accurately turned into a sharp hand knife, with a force enough to split alloy, and slashed fiercely on the back of Du's neck!

"Ugh..." Du only had time to let out a short groan before his eyes went dark. His strong willpower was useless in the face of the absolute power gap, and his body fell down like a puppet with its strings cut.

The masked man seemed to have simply swatted away an annoying fly, without any pause in his movements.

He stretched out his other hand, grabbed the collar of Watari's neck easily as if he was picking up a piece of cargo, and lifted him up.

The masked man lowered his head, his cold gaze sweeping over the unconscious Du in his hands. His voice beneath the mask was low and calm: "Interesting. But I can't let you let the 'things' inside out and cause trouble."

His gaze turned to the Team Rocket members who were in extreme shock and panic because their captain was subdued in an instant.

Although fear almost consumed them, Team Rocket's discipline made them subconsciously draw their weapons and prepare to fight to the death.

"Tsk." The masked man seemed a little impatient and clapped his free left hand casually and very lightly.

A shadow as thick as ink, wriggling as if it had life, appeared beside him and quickly condensed into a Haunter with eyes flashing with strange purple light.

Haunter grinned, his eyes shining, and circles of visible shadow energy with hypnotic ripples spread out like ripples in an instant, accurately covering all the surviving members of Team Rocket.

"Garse..." A member of Team Rocket only had time to utter a few unclear syllables before his eyes instantly became unfocused, his body swayed, and he fell to the ground as if his bones had been pulled out, falling into a deep coma.

The other members were no exception and fell down in unison like harvested wheat, their weapons clanking and falling out of their hands.

The only sounds left in the passage were heavy breathing and the subtle sound of ice crystals condensing.

The masked man carried the unconscious Du, and his eyes, like a scanner, swept coldly over Kaluni and Yan Kai who were seriously injured and lying on the ground, and Fradili who were frozen after he appeared.

There was no emotion in that look, neither hostility nor kindness.

As if they didn't matter.

The masked man's gaze stayed on them for less than half a second before he looked away indifferently.

He didn't say a single word or make any unnecessary movements.

He just carried the ferry like he was carrying a bag of garbage, turned around, and took a step forward.

Then, hands made of ice were seen pushing forward, taking away the unconscious guy, along with Latias and Latios.

clap clap!

As the masked man left, the ice in the entire tunnel began to shatter one by one and disappeared.

If there wasn't a little bit of temperature left, no one would know what had just happened.

Whose method is this?

However, how could the masked man hide such a distinctive feature from Sakaki?

After doing everything, Liu Bo left almost no clues, and he would never have dreamed that Sakaki already knew about his vest before he even took it out.
