"Oh? You can agree to any condition?"
Ze Shu smiled with interest.
Quixote's voice remained resolute: "N is my child. I cannot let my child continue to suffer. I will bring him back to my side and give him an environment he can adapt to."
"I am willing to give up everything I have."
"I can give you anything you want. Today I'm going to bail N out. The team to welcome N has already been dispatched."
Ze Shu let out a strange chuckle.
What... we can't let the child suffer.
But you never mention your other two daughters.
Besides, Quixote makes all sorts of nice things, saying he's willing to give everything.
But Ze Shu believed that if you were to offer him a prison sentence in place of Vio, or some other condition that would cost him dearly, such as using the "True Dragon" or the "Ideal Dragon" as collateral in the future, the first thing Quixote would do is play dumb.
"Conditions? But I'm sorry, I haven't decided what conditions to propose yet." Ze Shu tapped the phone in front of him and chuckled, "So N will have to stay here a little longer."
N is still playing on his phone in the small dark room. He hasn't been playing for very long, how can we release him now?
Quixote, who was preparing to deal with Ze Shu's conditions, was taken aback: "Oh?"
If N is away from "surveillance" for even a few more seconds, the information cage he has placed on N is constantly at risk of collapsing.
"Money! Doesn't the League's bail process always require money?!" Quixote persisted. "Vio's charge is 'crime against society,' right? Then our Plasma Team can donate money, donate money to Kitakami! One million! Two million... one million five hundred thousand, anything goes!"
The bald-headed administrator standing nearby was very tempted and wished he could agree on Ze Shu's behalf and throw N out of the interrogation room.
But after glancing at Ze Shu's unchanging expression, he swallowed the thought.
But Misawa did not respond.
Quixote was somewhat angry.
"You, a member of the alliance! You need to understand, this is the alliance's bail procedure! It's not something a mere alliance employee like you can control!"
"Yes, I can offer you extra compensation and agree to your conditions in order to bail out my son. But that's no reason for you to have any more greed."
"Our Plasma Team is quite large, and we even have personnel specifically tasked with liaising with the Alliance! We have nothing to fear from the Alliance's scrutiny! They might even be able to find out your identity and... well, you'd better know when to stop."
Quixote still believes that Ze Shu, this lowly "Alliance employee," is either trying to hold out for a higher price or wanting time to think in order to gain a greater profit, and therefore chooses not to release N.
He chose to add a huge stick that could kill people.
But Ze Shu ignored this big stick, smiled, and said, "The Alliance's bail is indeed usually paid for."
"But... I'm the one who caught N. I'm not short of money, I want something else. But even if you send the champion to talk to me, this is still my answer."
"And don't threaten me, I'm quite scared. When I'm scared, my head spins, and it might take me a few days to come up with the 'conditions'."
Quixote's voice, barely suppressing his anger, rang out: "Then what exactly do you want?!"
Forget about being an alliance member, he thought the other side was just an annoying bandit!
Ze Shu shrugged and sighed, "Didn't I already say? I haven't decided yet."
On the other end of the phone, Quixote suddenly couldn't speak.
But Ze Shu could hear the fluctuating breathing coming from him.
Obviously.
Old Deng was furious, but he tried his best to calm down.
"How about this—" Ze Shu suddenly said, "The Plasma Team is in the Unova region, right? I'll be going to Unova on a business trip soon... so I'll figure out the terms then... and we'll exchange them for the goods."
"No! You must..."
Quixote took a few more breaths. He was not giving up and did not want to agree to Ze Shu's deal. He wanted to keep pestering him.
But Ze Shu didn't want to get entangled with him, so he interrupted:
"Hmm, I think I've thought of a condition—if you want to redeem N, the billing will start now. To put it another way, every second you spend, you'll have to pay an extra 10,000 Alliance Coins."
"After all, you've taken up my rest time, so it's not unreasonable for me to charge you, is it?"
"..Woolen cloth."
Quixote choked.
He truly believed that the person opposite him was an absolute, lawless bandit!
When did such an arrogant person appear in the League?! Even the most unrestrained investigators wouldn't act like this!
While angry, Quixote was also somewhat confused.
In the end, Quixote readily agreed to Ze Shu's suggestion, allowing N to be taken to United by Ze Shu on a "business trip," where they would exchange money for goods.
Before hanging up the phone, Quichis transformed into a worried father, repeatedly telling Zeshu things like, "N is a child who likes to be alone and is easily deceived. Don't let him come into contact with the outside world or with anyone."
Ze Shu simply smiled and said, "As a suspect, N will certainly not leave the 'little dark room' at all," which put Quixote's mind at ease. However, Ze Shu did not guarantee what N might have come into contact with in the little dark room.
hang up the phone.
Ze Shu casually put the phone back in its original position, saying:
"When we return to Quigish, they will send 55 Alliance Coins."
"Use all of it for the expenses of the Evil Paradise."
The earnest and lengthy explanation from Quichis, which lasted 55 seconds, naturally required payment from Ze Shu's "paid call service".
"Okay, okay!"
The bald-headed administrator next to him was absolutely in awe of Ze Shu!
He thought that returning N in exchange for 100 million Alliance Coins would be a great thing.
But Ze Shu effortlessly and without paying any price, he managed to extract 55 Alliance Coins from the Plasma Team, which he and Kitakami Township feared!
This is really...
The bald-headed administrator practically wanted to take out his notebook and write down this detail, reviewing it seven or eight hundred times that night!
But why didn't he write it down?
Then he suddenly realized that even if he knew Lord Zeshu's "negotiation" techniques, he didn't have the ability or strength to negotiate like that—if he wasn't careful, he would get beaten up!
After hanging up the phone, Ze Shu first went to the small dark room to visit N.
They found him lying on his bed in the small, dark room like a shut-in.
His posture remained motionless, with only his fingers and eyes occasionally moving. In the pitch-black environment, only the light from his phone flickered, suggesting he was actively surfing the internet.
Ze Shu didn't disturb him. He glanced at him from outside the door and walked away—after all, there were security cameras.
My only concern now is whether this N will come into contact with any "inappropriate information".
For example, Gardevoir swimsuit pictures, Lodoss photobooks, Muk art photos, Mother Monster's Power Fever Training Donburi... Hmm, we need to let Peony hack into N's phone so he can't see these "dark sides".
What if N, who is rumored to have Pokémon blood, awakens these "human" fetishes?
It was truly difficult for Ze Shu to explain this to his elderly father, who was "worried about him."
For the next few days, Ze Shu had nothing much to do and spent a relatively leisurely time in Beishang Township.
For example, we visited "The Haunted Paradise".
"Oh...this is a haunted house? Hey, wanna play?"
"Bonnie!"
Enter the haunted house.
Ze Shu originally envisioned a scenario where the monster would be frightened by the jumpscare, then pounce on him, and he would comfort and rub it.
But little did anyone know that this "ghost" was actually their three precious companions.
The treacherous creature instinctively grabbed the thorny vine.
Just a few "bang bang bang" sounds.
They smashed the two pheasant-shaped props that were sticking out of their faces and the dog-shaped props to pieces.
They even smashed a real "ghost actor"—Yuan Zengyuan—onto his head until he was covered in bumps and begged for mercy.
On the contrary, Milton, who had always followed Ze Shu and acted as his mount, was terrified.
It was already trembling with fear in the terrifying atmosphere of the haunted house, and kept clinging to the corner of Ze Shu's clothes.
When it was suddenly attacked, it jumped into the air, smashing a hole in the ceiling of the haunted house and tearing the hem of Ze Shu's clothes that it had been holding.
Ze Shu felt both helpless and amused.
Although he is a major shareholder in this "Disaster Paradise".
But in the end, he still had to pay compensation for damaging the haunted house.
And look at the signs erected at the entrance of the haunted house: "Sad Pokémon and Pokémon prone to stress and impulsiveness should enter with caution" and "Do not assault the actors".
Egui Peng felt very guilty about this.
After all, Ze Shu lost money.
But Ze Shu didn't care.
To alleviate Egui's guilt.
He also led the Evil to the Evil statue holding a thorny club in the "Evil Paradise" square, where there was a game where you could throw stones at the Three Treasures.
"Want to give it a try?"
Ze Shu weighed the stone props he had purchased.
Egui blinked, only to meet the gaze of Yuanzeng Yuan, who had just recovered from his injuries and was rushing to work with his head wrapped in bandages.
There's nothing strange about it yet.
Yuan Zengyuan suddenly widened his small eyes, his gaze filled with a hint of fear.
"Chirp, chirp?!"
You just beat me up all over in the haunted house, and now you want to throw stones at me?!
Are they chasing us that closely?!
No way! He was wrong, okay?
Of course, Ze Shu hadn't forgotten his "part-time job"—an extra instructor for the Orange Academy Kitakami Township Summer Camp.
"This is really... I'm so busy, but you seem to be on vacation."
Inside the community center in Beishang Township, Zeshu met another teacher leading the group—Leihe, whose expression was somewhat resentful.
"I really shouldn't have taken on this responsibility!"
Ze Shu shrugged and laughed, "I was only responsible for the students' safety."
During this time, his Garchomp, along with a group of Growlithe minions, ran and frolicked while patrolling the wild areas where students were active, protecting their safety.
And they did not fail in their mission; none of the students were injured.
And they achieved quite a few victories: for example, they crushed the group of Golems and eight Geodude on Mount Oni, engaging in a Pokémon-style Clash of Clans battle, and the Growlithe gained a lot of combat experience.
There was also a "friendly exchange" with the lava worm swarm in Ghost Horn Canyon—the lava worms gave them a bath.
As members of the Lava Bug and Magmortar family, whose attributes are compatible with Growlithe, they get along well with the dogs. Lava Bugs can massage the dogs and clean dirt off their fur. In return, the heat and impurities from the dogs provide the Lava Bugs with essential nutrients.
Especially Zeshu's Washing Green Gyro Dog.
That would be an excellent tonic for lava worms!
Every time it comes to the lava worm's territory, it receives a "warm" welcome from the lava worms, but it is not used to the feeling of the lava worms crawling on it.
But every time the Magma Bugs finish crawling on it, Arcanine becomes very clean. It can sense that Sagamite would really enjoy lying on its clean body, so Arcanine endures the discomfort and lets the Magma Bugs clean it every day.
Another evening.
On the lawn in Beishang Township.
Zeshu lay on the thick, fluffy mane of the emerald-green Arcanine, inhaling its unique volcanic rock scent. It wasn't unpleasant; rather, it was refreshing and quite pleasant.
But with the addition of the Ice Eevee and Vulpix pressing on his chest, he had an unusual experience of "ice and fire".
But Ze Shu has gotten used to it over the past few days.
He watched as the afterglow of the setting sun gradually faded into the distance.
Higana ran around, shouting happily.
She, along with Salamence and Roaring Moon, seemed to be chasing a... tiny wind sprite?
Ze Shu seemed to be right. The wind sprite was being chased so hard that it was almost crying. It tried its best to use "tailwind" to speed up, but it could not escape the "malicious pursuit" of the two dragons and the idiot behind it.
"However, it seems that... there isn't a Pokémon like Cottongrass that lives in Kitakami Township."
At last.
Sure enough, the wind sprite, with tears in its eyes, jumped into the arms of a pink-haired girl wearing a pink coat and a Blueberry Academy uniform underneath.
From afar, Ze Shu could hear Xi Jiana's apology.
"I'm so sorry!!"
Ze Shu shook his head helplessly.
Xiao Lan sighed and chuckled before saying, "Xijiana never seems to learn her lesson and change."
Higanbana did the same thing in the bamboo forest, accidentally bullying a Pokémon with a trainer, and then Wolf-Fox apologized.
Ze Shu looked ahead.
The pink-haired girl from Blueberry Academy seemed to be lecturing Higana, while Higana bowed her head in apology. The two Salamence beside her also bowed their heads, looking just like a naughty elementary school student.
It seems he doesn't need to clean up the mess she made this time.
Ze Shu felt relieved, picked up an Energy Cube, and fed it to a Growlithe lying next to him, while also stroking its chin. The Growlithe first glanced at the Arcanine that Ze Shu was leaning against, and seeing that it didn't react, it ate the Energy Cube with peace of mind.
Seeing this, Ze Shu smiled and looked at his own Arcanine, teasingly saying:
"You're really starting to have the aura of a boss."
"Woof woof!"
Arcanine glanced at Ze Shu, then inexplicably lowered its head in disappointment.
Ze Shu paused for a moment, then pursed his lips: "Are you thinking about... your mother?"
The dog, Windspeed, let out a soft "Woof..."
It then turned and stared at Ze Shu without blinking.
Ze Shu didn't answer, but silently took out an Arceus phone.
"Little Blue, get ready."
Although Ze Shu was too lazy to open the system to check the "Good Deeds Settlement" during the previous event in Beishang Township, there were still rewards. At least this Arceus phone unlocked a new function - it can bring one more person to Xicui together.
Xiao Lan blinked, seemingly understanding something, and then looked at the troublemaker being disciplined in the distance: "Where's Xijiana?"
Ze Shu said, "Ignore her and let her stay here by herself."
