Chapter 1715 - 1709: The Throne of Team Rocket!

Chapter 1715: Chapter 1709: The Throne of Team Rocket!

Originally, under Giovanni’s deliberate indulgence, the different internal factions of Team Rocket hated and opposed one another.

As long as Giovanni was present, all of that was not a problem. Even the mutual hostility between them allowed Giovanni to better balance the various lower departments and further consolidate his control over Team Rocket.

But once Giovanni disappeared, those people below could no longer be suppressed. Anyone with even a little ambition would see that ambition multiplied several times over at this moment.

Cain noticed the changes in the current situation of this place, frowned slightly, and did not feel happy at all in his heart.

No matter what, Team Rocket was Giovanni’s lifelong effort. And Giovanni was the only person in the entire Pokémon world whom Cain sincerely admired from the bottom of his heart.

If Giovanni had remained present all along, Cain truly would not have had the idea of replacing him and taking control of Team Rocket.

But in this instant, Cain’s thoughts were the same as those of those other high-ranking executives.

His ambition had been magnified dozens of times.

Before attacking the League headquarters, Giovanni had handed him Team Rocket’s most important documents. Did that not mean he hoped Cain would take charge of Team Rocket?

"In all of Team Rocket, only I have the qualification to take command!" Cain narrowed his eyes and murmured to himself. It was unknown whether he was trying to make a decision or whether he wanted everything to seem more logical and natural.

He disappeared again in a flash and appeared inside Team Rocket’s base.

At this moment, the interior of Team Rocket’s base was even more chaotic than the outside. The leaders of several factions and most of the executives had gathered there.

Among them was the group of the three great executives headed by Koga, accompanied by many Team Rocket executives such as Umbra and Tenebris. There was also the group headed by the Three Beasts, as well as the group headed by the Four Generals.

On the other hand, the person in charge of the legionary forces that Giovanni had always kept hidden did not participate in this. He only stood to the side, arms crossed in front of his chest, silently watching the scene.

They had no ambition to fight for the position of Team Rocket’s leader, because they were loyal only to Giovanni. After that came Team Rocket.

If the final leader was someone who did not satisfy them, with their strength, they could also ignore that so-called leader.

Cain did not conceal his figure when he appeared, and in an instant, he attracted everyone’s attention.

All at once, the atmosphere, which was already somewhat heavy, became as if the surrounding air had solidified.

The deputy leader of Team Rocket!

In essence, as deputy leader, when the leader was not present, of course he could replace him and exercise his authority. Even if it was confirmed that the leader would not return, directly sitting in the position of leader was not impossible.

But who in this room did not have some fantasies in their heart?

After all, this was Team Rocket!

The most powerful underground force in the entire Pokémon world!

As long as one became the leader of Team Rocket, even the League could not easily do anything to them.

Tap...

Cain landed on the ground. Ignoring the gazes around him, he walked directly toward the front of everyone, toward the empty main seat, the position that represented the leader of Team Rocket.

Everyone’s gazes fell on Cain.

Those who originally looked at each other with hostility, after his appearance, slowly let that mutual hostility disappear and joined together to transfer it toward Cain.

Would Cain care about the hostility of these people?

He ignored everyone, crossed through the crowd, and arrived at the front.

Under the horrified gazes of the people inside the room, he directly pulled out the only empty main chair, that executive chair that had always belonged to Giovanni, and then sat on it with complete calm.

Seeing this scene, someone immediately could not hold back.

Pa!

A palm struck the table. A man who was not very tall, dressed in the silver-gray uniform of a top executive of Team Rocket and wearing a cap on his head, immediately stood up from his chair and stared fixedly at Cain.

He glared at him furiously!

It was Carr, one of the Three Beasts, and also one of the few top executives present who was least familiar with Cain.

"Cain! Although you are the deputy leader of Team Rocket, that does not mean you can now sit in the Boss’s position. The information about Boss Giovanni has not yet been confirmed. Are you trying to seize power?" Carr said in a grave voice. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Carr knew Cain was powerful and that he was not his opponent, but he was not alone here. As long as he could transfer all hatred toward Cain and, moreover, place on him the great label of an unforgivable traitor, he could leave Cain in an unfavorable position in the discourse.

Hearing Carr’s words, the corner of Cain’s lips curved. Then his eyes, looking at Carr, suddenly opened wide.

Boom! Bang!

With just one look, Carr’s small body was sent flying directly from his seat and slammed heavily into the wall behind him.

Psychic power!

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

They never would have imagined that, in front of so many people, Cain would dare to act so freely.

Pa, pa.

After reacting, the other two members of the Three Beasts, Sird and Orm, stood up one after another.

The Three Beasts were one unit. They shared glory and loss. If they wanted to fight for power within Team Rocket, the three of them had to join forces to have a chance.

Now that Carr had been directly attacked by Cain, they could not act as if they had not seen it.

Two Pokéballs appeared in each of their hands.

"Cain...!!!"

As they spoke, they were about to throw the Pokéballs, but when their shout was halfway through, it was cut off abruptly, as if someone had tightened a grip around their throats.

It was not that someone had really tightened a grip around their throats, but almost.

Two black shadows appeared behind them. A sharp black claw, and a black hand that seemed slightly plump, gently rested on their necks.

Darkrai, full of malice, and Gengar, wrapped in a cold and ghostly aura, made the two of them not dare to say another word.

Cold sweat slowly ran down their foreheads.

The feeling of having one’s life in someone else’s hands was not pleasant.
