Chapter 484 Daigo: A mere hundred million is nothing to worry about.
The Light Stone and the Dark Stone trembled violently in Li Luochen's palm for a while, their light flickering, before returning to silence.
Li Luochen put them back in his pocket, glanced at N, and asked, "What do you mean? Your Plasma Team is facing Kyurem..."
Before he could finish speaking, the stone in his pocket jolted again.
Sure enough, it was the word "Kyurem" that provoked them.
N also noticed this scene, and a thoughtful look appeared in his eyes: "It seems they are not completely asleep yet."
"Hmm." Li Luochen pressed down on the two restless stones through his pocket. "Go on."
Upon hearing this, N crossed his hands on his knees, leaned forward slightly, and whispered, "Team Plasma has been searching for a way to awaken Kyurem all these years. Of the Three Dragons of the Way, Reshiram and Zekrom represent ideals and reality, while Kyurem represents nothingness."
"Team Plasma already has an idea on how to awaken Kyurem."
N's gaze fell on Li Luochen's pocket. The two stones were completely silent, but he knew they were still listening.
"To rekindle the desire in the empty, void Kyurem to fill itself."
That's all I have to say.
The meaning is quite clear.
Li Luochen's Reshiram and Zekrom are needed as bait.
The three dragons of the Dao were originally one, but after splitting, they each represented reality, ideal, and nothingness.
Only when the first two conditions are met simultaneously will nothingness be attracted.
Li Luochen was silent for a moment, then tapped his fingers lightly twice on his pocket.
"When?"
"The sooner the better," N said, "but after you're done here."
Li Luochen nodded: "Okay."
As for how to deal with Kyurem, Li Luochen actually had no idea.
The last of the Three Dragons of the Path, a being that even Reshiram and Zekrom together could not suppress, is not one that can be easily subdued.
He verbally agreed, but as for when he would go, that was his own business.
N seemed to have figured it out too, but didn't ask any further questions. He simply picked up his champagne and took another sip.
But to be honest...
N did not want to harm Li Luochen.
This is my brother, so I'll definitely think of him when good things happen; but if bad things happen, I'll bear the consequences myself.
Good brothers, for life!
These are some of the few things that N has kept in mind since arriving in the Donghuang region.
He repeated those words to himself over and over, a slight smile playing on his lips, before picking up the champagne and taking another sip.
The wine has a slightly bitter taste that spreads across the tip of the tongue.
N didn't say anything after those six words.
Some things, if said aloud, seem deliberate; it's enough to keep them to yourself.
Time passed, and lunch began.
A snow-white tablecloth covered the round table. To Li Luochen's left was Daigo, to his right was N, and opposite him sat Qinglu and Xiaomao. Ajin was squeezed into the corner, looking down at the dish in front of him, whose name he didn't know.
There was a bit of an awkward silence at first.
Daigo and N weren't particularly close; Green was a man of few words, and Shigeru was even more reserved in this situation.
Ah Jin, however, after examining the dishes, looked up, glanced at the silent crowd, and blurted out, "Hey, why isn't there any meat in this dish?"
The waiter politely informed us that this was a completely vegetarian meal.
Akin's face visibly fell apart.
Daigo put down his knife and fork, looked at Gin's lifeless expression, and chuckled softly.
The others chuckled a few times, more or less.
Seeing everyone laughing, Ah Jin scratched his head and chuckled twice as well.
The awkward silence was broken by his single sentence.
Li Luochen glanced at A Jin and thought to himself that although this person was unreliable, he could be quite useful at times.
A while later.
Halfway through the luncheon, there was a sudden commotion on the stage.
The four sisters of the battle fortress stood side by side, with Asami at the front, followed by Day Pearl, Yui, and Nighty in order.
Siyun followed closely behind, his intentions clear.
Chao Mi raised her glass, her gaze sweeping over the crowd below, a composed and appropriate smile on her lips.
"Distinguished guests."
Chao Mi's voice wasn't loud, but the entire hall fell silent: "Thank you all for coming from afar."
The guests raised their glasses.
Li Luochen also picked up his cup, his gaze falling on the green figure on the stage, waiting for her to continue.
"I presume everyone has come to Battle Fortress for the same reason," Asami said, stepping onto the stage and directly stating the topic, "That is, the shares of Battle Fortress."
The voice just fell.
The whispers below the stage suddenly stopped, and the guests who had been chatting, exchanging pleasantries, and enjoying the food all put down their cutlery and wine glasses and looked up.
The big one is coming!
Battle Fortress, a major landmark in the Kalos region, is a sacred place that attracts countless trainers to take on challenges every year.
If we can acquire its shares and help it overcome its difficulties, three generations can live off this dividend for the next hundred years.
Everyone knew perfectly well why all the distinguished guests had gone to such lengths to gather here.
Chao Mi smiled slightly, her gaze slowly sweeping across the audience.
"We have already drafted the share allocation plan."
She raised her hand to signal, and the maid behind her walked into the crowd with a stack of documents, distributing them to everyone present.
"You may take a look first."
As soon as Chao Mi finished speaking, the maids moved among the long tables carrying documents, handing each of the beautifully bound agreements to the distinguished guests.
Li Luochen took the document, opened the cover page, and his gaze fell on the core clauses.
The numbers are straightforward, without any beating around the bush.
It would take billions, approaching 10 billion, to acquire all the shares offered this time.
It's not installments, it's not crowdfunding, it's a one-time payment!
No enfeoffment, no division, a one-off deal!
Whoever can afford it gets the shares!
The audience fell silent for a moment.
Some people frowned, some pursed their lips, and some looked down and repeatedly flipped through the agreement, as if to confirm that they had not misread it.
Of the nearly 10 billion yuan in working capital, those present could only count on their fingers.
Daigo didn't even lift his eyelids, slowly sipping his wine, as if those numbers had nothing to do with him.
N leaned back in his chair, glanced at the agreement indifferently, and then closed it.
Qinglu flipped through the document, handed it to Xiaomao, crossed her arms, and looked towards the stage.
Ah Jin peeked over, gasped, and silently shrank back.
Asami stood on the stage, taking in the complex expressions on the faces of the audience, her lips remaining perfectly still.
"Gentlemen, do you have any further questions?"
The atmosphere in the hall subtly shifted.
Many people have already given up.
A few billion is a sum that most people present could actually come up with if they gritted their teeth and scraped together.
But what happens after you take it out?
What about the subsequent working capital?
How to manage the daily operations of a battle fortress?
If another hole appears, who will fill it?
This is no longer a question of "whether or not one can eat," but rather a question of "whether eating will cause one to die from overeating."
Trying to eat something you don't have the strength to do is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant – it's just greed.
Someone sighed inwardly, pushed the agreement aside, and focused on the cold steak in front of them.
Some people held wine glasses, their eyes darting back and forth between Chao Mi and her sisters, as if they were having other ideas.
Chao Mi remained unmoved and stood on the stage.
She held the glass of champagne she had never drunk, a smile on her face.
Li Luochen looked at Daigo and lowered his voice: "Brother, this seems to be beyond our expectations."
"It is a bit, indeed." Daigo put down his glass, his tone calm. "But it's not difficult. Nearly 10 billion is not a problem for us."
