Pokémon: Rise of Evil

Chapter 123 Helping Ma Zhishi

For some reason, this guy Ma Zhishi has his own phone number in the Rockets. After the call was connected, Ma Zhishi's voice came from the other end:

"Muramasa, Viper has told me that you and Nancy are actually friends. That guy is a very strange person. Forget it, I didn't ask you to come here today to talk about that guy who sometimes acts like an old witch. Viper has had someone mail me the qualification ID card for the trial. You can come to the gym in Vermilion City to pick it up now. If possible, please lend it to me..."

Ma Zhishi looked at the phone in his hand that was hung up instantly, his eyelids twitched, and he sighed heavily. Ma Zhishi touched his forehead and lay down on the sofa.

On the other side, after getting off the car, Shota arrived in Jinhuang City.

Shota plans to use teleportation to go through Route 6 to Vermilion City.

However, by chance, Shota discovered a report about the airport in Vermilion City on the announcement of Golden City.

After looking carefully for a moment, Shota smiled and decided to help this guy Ma Zhishi.

Just when Ma Zhishi was still frowning about funds, a Rocket soldier knocked on the door and said that a Rocket member named Cunzhen wanted to see him, and also said that he wanted to invest in the construction of an airport and mutual exchanges between various regions.

Ma Zhishi didn't even wear shoes and ran out of the room barefoot.

"Long time no see, Officer Ma Zhishi."

Ma Zhishi ignored Shota and his greetings.

Instead, he grabbed Shota's shoulders with an excited look on his face and said, "Are you sure? You really want to invest in me."

Looking at Ma Zhishi's anxious look, it turned out that this guy had indeed made another hole.

Shota answered calmly, "Is it possible that you have been cheated again?"

After hearing what Shota said, Ma Zhishi almost cried.

"Tnnd, I don't know which bastard said he would help me build an airport to other regions in order to make profits and make up for the previous loan. But this guy suddenly ran away with the money when the construction was halfway through. Now, I am in debt again."

"But you must have been able to do it before, right?"

Ma Zhishi touched his head embarrassedly.

"There must be a way, but I just can't bring myself to do it. It's very shameful to be a deadbeat. I won't be able to hold my head up in front of other cadres."

Shota looked at him jokingly and said, "You also want to run away with the money, right? It's just that the second partner ran away faster than you."

Ma Zhishi must have felt ashamed, as his face had turned red.

For some reason, Shota suddenly felt like he was the leader.

After weighing the pros and cons, Shota said, "I can help you, but you better not lie to me. In fact, the plans of the previous investors are feasible. After all, Vermilion City is a large port city with a huge flow of people every day. The construction of an airport will allow more people to have another travel option."

Stroking his chin, Shota continued, "How about this, I'll give you a small goal first, which is 1 million Alliance Coins, which will generally help alleviate your current situation a little."

Hearing about a small goal, Ma Zhishi jumped up excitedly. Well, this guy no longer looked like a capitalist after he got into debt. He had become a worker in the alliance.

"Besides me, you should never trust any other investors. With your status as the gym leader of Vermilion City, plus the farms and various other things under your jurisdiction, if you work hard, you will be able to pay off your debts in a few years."

After listening to Shota's words, Ma Zhishi seemed to have seen his bright future.

"Thank you very much, Captain Muramasa. You have shown me the way forward. Thank you very much."

He calmly pulled his hand out of Ma Zhishi's hand.

Thinking that it was time to talk business, Shota said, "Give me the certificate of qualification to enter the secret realm that Instructor Viper gave you."

"Okay, I'll go now."

Looking at this guy who had lost his composure, Shota shook his head. He heard that this guy could effectively command a group of Pokémon, so maybe he could poach some of their resources.

After a while, Ma Zhishi brought a silver box and gestured to open it.

After opening the box, there was nothing inside, just a piece of silver iron.

Seeing Shota's puzzled look, Ma Zhishi said, "Put your Team Rocket member's ID card on it."

Following Ma Zhishi's words, Xiangtai took out his Team Rocket identity card from his backpack.

After putting it on, the silver iron sheet suddenly split into four sections, wrapping the four corners of the ID card with silver edges.

Shota glanced at Ma Zhishi in confusion, his expression seemed to say: "That's it?"

Ma Zhishi shook his head and explained: "Your information has been passed to Boss Sakaki, and this matter is being handled by Boss Banmu's secretary Manori. That's all I know. Anyway, she is a very smart woman, so you don't have to worry about your identity. By then you should know what the four silver edges are for."

After putting away the ID card, Shota took out the bank card from his backpack and handed it to Ma Zhishi.

"There's a code on it, don't let me down."

Ma Zhishi excitedly took the bank card. Although he didn't mention the contract, he still took out the contract.

After taking a look at the contract, Shota still felt that this guy was not that stupid, and was just a money-loving guy. Although he had a conscience, it was not much.

Thinking that he was not an employee anyway, even though there were risks, Shota accepted the 99% of the shares. After all, he had no shame.

After collecting the contract, Ma Zhishi handed him a map and said, "I'm quite optimistic about you. Anyway, I don't have the heart to let my men fight for the so-called cadre position. I will let my men take you to the Silver Mountains by helicopter. Time is running out. I hope you can come back alive. I still need you as an investor. Otherwise, I will have to run away with your money."

After taking the wrapped map from Ma Zhishi's hand, Shota didn't say much.

Instead, under the leadership of Ma Zhishi's men, he left the office of the Kuye Gym.

"Viper, I hope your students can live up to my and your expectations. I will accept the money you give me as a matter of course."

Ma Zhishi closed the photo he took with Viper when they were young, took out the uniform of Team Rocket’s cadres from the drawer, put it on, and left the Vermilion Gym.
