“Not bad, tough enough. It seems you haven't wasted all those resources staying here.”
Jiang Mo picked up the Poké Ball containing Goomy and said with a smile. The Poké Ball shook slightly, as if the Goomy inside was issuing a silent protest.
“So many resources can’t be wasted. Let’s mine as much as we can.”
After capturing Goomy, Jiang Mo looked at the steel gems and metal coatings scattered around, secretly delighted. This was a rare opportunity to get rich.
He decided to quickly return and inform the Dawn Organization to send people to mine. He recalled Pikachu into its Poké Ball and prepared to leave the cave.
“Oh f***, what kind of ghost place is this? I’ve walked so far and haven’t encountered any valuable resources!”
As soon as he stepped out of the cave, a Complaints entered Jiang Mo’s ears.
He instantly became alert, his body flashing as he agilely hid behind a nearby boulder, cautiously peeking out to observe.
Many of these people had North America features and should be from the North America Alliance, mixed with a few people who looked like they were from the Shenzhou Alliance.
Jiang Mo was puzzled, wondering how they found this place.
He heard a person from the North America Alliance say, “Strange, why did that exploration team suddenly lose contact? Could something bad have happened to them?”
The person who looked like the team leader replied, “This secret realm is full of dangers. They might just have had bad luck, encountered a powerful Pokémon, and met their end here.”
At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed, “Look, there are many steel gem ores ahead!”
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately became excited and rushed towards the cave.
When they entered the cave and saw the abundant resources inside, they were stunned, their eyes filled with greed.
One of the people who looked like they were from the Shenzhou Alliance was the first to speak: “This time, our Huangsheng Group has helped you a great deal. We not only used our connections in the Shenzhou Alliance to provide you with news of the Xicui Secret Realm’s opening, but also helped you collect so many Pokémon.”
“Many of the rare Hisui Pokémon caught during this period were obtained with our help. You must be clear about the credit and risks involved.”
A person from the North America Alliance next to him nodded slightly in agreement, “That’s true, the intelligence and Pokémon you provided have been very helpful for our research.”
“However, how these mineral resources are to be distributed still needs to be discussed thoroughly.”
Upon hearing this, the person from Huangsheng Group immediately raised his voice: “Discuss? What is there to discuss! Our Huangsheng Group has helped you capture so many Pokémon, and even betrayed the Shenzhou Alliance to provide you with information. These mineral resources should belong to our Huangsheng Group.”
“This is our deserved reward, and we are not taking it for free. In exchange, we will continue to help you monitor the movements of the Shenzhou Alliance and help you capture a large number of Hisui Pokémon. If there are such good opportunities in the future, we can continue to cooperate.”
The people from the North America Alliance exchanged glances, a hesitant expression on their faces.
One of them, with an unpleasant look, said in a low voice, “But these resources are too precious. If we give them all to you like this, I’m afraid our leaders won’t agree. After all, our North America Alliance invested a large number of troops to enter the Xicui Secret Realm this time.”
At this moment, a subtle commotion began among the North America Alliance group.
Several sharp-eyed members subtly exchanged glances and slowly surrounded the people from Huangsheng Group. Their hands quietly reached for the Poké Balls at their waists, subtly exuding a murderous aura, seemingly intending to act directly and monopolize the resources.
The people from Huangsheng Group were not to be trifled with. The leader immediately noticed the abnormality. His eyes narrowed, and he shouted loudly, “What do you want to do? Don’t think we can’t see through your intentions!”
“I’m telling you, we had already anticipated that your North America Alliance might make a move against us.”
“If we die here today, you won’t have an easy time either! We’ve already left a backup plan. Once something happens to us, relevant evidence and information will be immediately sent back to the Shenzhou Alliance, letting them know what you’ve done!”
Upon hearing this, the people from the North America Alliance paused, secretly mocking them.
In their minds, these people from Huangsheng Group were simply clowns who kept flip-flopping. At this point, they still tried to use such threatening tactics.
Even a three-year-old knew that once their betrayal was known to the Shenzhou Alliance, there would be no possibility of them being re-accepted.
The leader of this North America Alliance team had been weighing the pros and cons in his mind.
Currently, the Huangsheng Group still had some use for them, and acting rashly within this secret realm might cause greater chaos, hindering resource extraction or attracting powerful Pokémon, which would be more trouble than it was worth.
Therefore, he raised his hand to stop his subordinates’ actions, suppressing his dissatisfaction, and said, “Hmph, don’t be impulsive! Let’s not discuss this today. We’ll go out first and let the higher-ups outside decide the distribution of these resources.”
Seeing him say this, everyone put down their Poké Balls. After all, no matter how many steel gems there were, they were not something these small figures could possess.
They only hoped that the Alliance would give them a little more reward for discovering this place.
And the people from Huangsheng Group were greatly relieved at this moment, feeling as if they were about to meet their end just now.
They couldn’t help but complain inwardly, how much money did Huangsheng Group pay them each month? If they really died here, they would have nowhere to cry.
Jiang Mo listened to their conversation from the side, greatly shocked. He didn't expect that the internal traitor within the Shenzhou Alliance was the Huangsheng Group. It seemed they had already colluded with the North America Alliance.
Jiang Mo could understand providing information to the North America Alliance, but he didn't know why Huangsheng Group was providing a large number of Pokémon to the North America Alliance.
Thinking of this, Jiang Mo suddenly remembered what he had learned from Hunter G earlier: Huangsheng Group had issued a large number of Pokémon capture orders to the Hunter Organization.
The reason Hunter G was caught was also because they happened to run into him after he traded with Huangsheng Group in the black market. These two incidents might have some connection.
Jiang Mo's mind was a mess at this moment, feeling that these matters were too complicated. He felt he was just a hair's breadth away from figuring it out.
If he couldn't figure it out, he simply wouldn't think about it. At this moment, Jiang Mo saw them walking towards the interior of the cave, clearly intending to continue exploring for other resources inside.
However, Jiang Mo had long considered this place to be the Dawn Organization’s possession, so he naturally had no intention of handing over this treasure trove.
