After settling Dr. Bulano, Jiang Mo immediately embarked on another mission.
He was to escort the surviving Hisui Pokémon back into the Xicui Secret Realm.
With the assistance of Lingxi, Bing Meng, and Chen Jiaxing, the transport ship slowly sailed into the small island where the Xicui Secret Realm entrance, controlled by Dawn, was located.
"Young Master, these Pokémon seem very familiar with this place," Lingxi said, observing the Pokémon gradually calm down upon reaching the Xicui Secret Realm.
"They belong here; this is their true home."
Jiang Mo watched these Pokémon, who clearly felt the call of their homeland, as they gradually disembarked and walked towards the depths of the secret realm.
Just then, a gentle breeze swept by, and a pink figure descended from the sky, stopping in front of Jiang Mo.
It was Enamorus, who quietly watched Jiang Mo, a hint of majesty and scrutiny in her eyes.
"Enamorus, I have already returned these Pokémon to the secret realm," Jiang Mo said calmly, without a trace of fear in his eyes, "I hope you can honor your promise."
Enamorus was silent for a moment, then lowered her head and let out a soft Growl, as if expressing approval to Jiang Mo.
Immediately after, she raised her head and let out a clear, sharp cry that echoed throughout the entire secret realm, signifying that the Xicui Secret Realm officially accepted Dawn's entry.
"Young Master, she agreed!" Lingxi couldn't help but show a surprised expression.
Jiang Mo smiled slightly: "For Dawn to gain the support of the Xicui Secret Realm, this is crucial for our future development."
"Lingxi, Bing Meng, make sure to assign people to protect this entrance and prevent outsiders from easily entering."
Lingxi and Bing Meng nodded, saying, "Understood."
After completing the Xicui Secret Realm mission, Jiang Mo returned to the Shenzhou Alliance.
Inside the Alliance Building, he once again met Fujiwara Rine.
Fujiwara Rine was currently sitting in a coffee shop, her eyes sharp, and her expression unreadable.
Jiang Mo pushed open the door and entered, a smile on his face: "Miss Fujiwara, long time no see. It seems your Fujiwara Family's mission this time was completed quite well. The North America Alliance must be very satisfied, right?"
Rine looked up at him, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, and said coldly: "Completed well? Jiang Mo-jun, your words are a bit sarcastic, aren't they?"
Jiang Mo raised an eyebrow, his tone still indifferent: "Oh? How so?"
Rine gritted her teeth, her voice filled with uncontrollable anger: "One of our Fujiwara Family's merchant ships was attacked by pirates, and my family member Fujiwara Ichiro's team was completely wiped out!"
"Not only were the people lost, but all the goods on the ship were also completely lost. The North America Alliance is very displeased with our Fujiwara Family! Jiang Mo-jun, do you call this 'completed well'?"
Fujiwara Rine still did not mention that their mission was to receive Dr. Bulano.
Jiang Mo feigned a shocked expression: "Such a thing happened? Miss Fujiwara, I deeply regret this; it's truly heartbreaking news."
"Mr. Fujiwara Ichiro's courage is admirable, and his sacrifice is a great loss."
Rine stared at him coldly, trying to find a flaw in his expression: "Jiang Mo-jun, do you really know nothing about this? I heard that many abnormally active forces have recently appeared in that sea area, and even some pirate groups have suddenly risen. Do you know anything about these matters?"
Jiang Mo shrugged, spreading his hands, his face showing no emotion: "Miss Fujiwara, Dawn hasn't paid much attention to these matters. Dawn only wants to do business and doesn't know much about these bandits."
"However, Miss Fujiwara, please accept my condolences. I believe the North America Alliance will understand the difficulties of the Fujiwara Family's operation this time."
Rine's gaze burned into him, but Jiang Mo remained calm and unperturbed, his eyes as deep as night; she could not discern anything from them.
She suppressed her anger and said coldly: "I hope so."
Jiang Mo smiled, saying in a relaxed tone: "Miss Fujiwara, thanks to our transport ship's assistance this time, otherwise you might not have been able to deliver the other few ships of goods on time."
"I hope you can put in a good word for Dawn in front of the North America Alliance; Dawn is sincerely cooperative."
Rine gritted her teeth, wishing she could rush up and question him about whether he was involved in the tragic deaths of Fujiwara Ichiro and others, after all, he was the only one in the Shenzhou Alliance who knew about the Fujiwara Family's recent sea travel plans.
Although Fujiwara Ichiro and others departed secretly, it was not ruled out that Dawn might have been staking out.
At this moment, Fujiwara Rine could not speak, only suppressing the doubts in her heart, and said coldly: "Cooperation is cooperation, but I hope Jiang Mo-jun does not forget that the Fujiwara Family is not easily manipulated."
This was a warning to Jiang Mo not to think that just because he had leverage over the Fujiwara Family being traitors, he could do as he pleased; at worst, it would be a lose-lose situation.
Jiang Mo smiled slightly, as if completely unconcerned by her warning, and continued: "Of course, I have always respected the Fujiwara Family's capabilities and status. Well, Miss Fujiwara, happy cooperation."
Fujiwara Rine watched Jiang Mo leave, her gaze as cold as a knife, secretly vowing in her heart: "Jiang Mo, I will find out who you really are!"
......
After completing the Xicui Secret Realm mission, Jiang Mo returned to the familiar Star City.
The winter sun shone brightly in Star City, and the flowers and plants in the courtyard swayed gently in the breeze, emitting a fragrant scent.
When Jiang Mo pushed open the courtyard gate in front of his house, Florges was standing in the courtyard, watering a row of blooming flowers.
Florges was also the Pokémon of Jiang Mo's mother, Lin Zhiqiu, and her level had reached the early Elite Four stage.
This was an elegant and noble Florges, her green dress gently swaying with the breeze, her temperament as pure as an immortal.
The watering can in her hand sparkled with crystal clear water droplets, as she meticulously cared for every plant.
Noticing Jiang Mo's arrival, Florges put down the watering can, gently turned around, and looked at him with tender eyes, then nodded slightly, letting out a clear Growl: "Florges ~"
Jiang Mo smiled slightly and raised his hand to greet her: "Florges, long time no see. The courtyard is still so well-cared for by you during this time."
Upon hearing this, Florges raised her hands and made a gesture of adjusting her skirt, her head tilted slightly to one side, as if modestly indicating "it's nothing."
Then she lightly pointed to the blooming flower bushes nearby, clearly proud of how well she had nurtured these flowers.
Jiang Mo followed the direction she pointed, nodded in admiration: "Indeed beautiful, you've worked hard."
Florges gently bowed, acknowledging Jiang Mo's praise, then lightly waved her hand, signaling that Jiang Mo could go inside and rest first.
Jiang Mo smiled: "Then I'll go in first, Florges. You continue with your work; don't mind me."
Florges nodded, then turned back to pick up the watering can, continuing to care for her flowers and plants.
