Chapter 177 Learns the Origin of the True Bird

As Tadakatsu thought about it more deeply, a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He had almost caused the Rockets to go bankrupt due to a wrong decision.

"Wow, thank goodness you're here. Otherwise, I would have lost my mother's hard work."

Realizing his mistake too late, he apologized to the real bird with a hint of ingratiation.

Honestly, the current Yamato is not yet comparable to the domineering CEO he will be in the future, after all, he has only been in charge of the Rockets for less than three years.

Fortunately, thanks to his mother's trusted confidants, he was able to revitalize Team Rocket among those old, cunning vampires.

Under Xuan Mingtian's questioning, it was learned that Zhen Niao was an orphan who had been abandoned by others. He had been captured by an underground human organ organization, which was preparing to disembowel him and extract various valuable organs.

It was Itagaki's mother who, like an angel descending, personally led the team to rescue the children. From that moment on, those children, including Masato, became staunch loyalists of the Itagaki family, willing to commit suicide without hesitation.

For all these reasons, the children were nurtured by Itagaki's mother with all her might. Of them, only Makoto has achieved the most success, which is one of the reasons why she can so readily contradict her boss.

"In that case, let's calculate it based on contribution points. As long as you reach a certain contribution level, you can exchange for a weight-bearing bracelet. If you have enough funds, then it's up to you."

After less than three seconds of silence, Zhenniao revealed the best method. As expected of a secretary who controlled all the information and resources of an underground organization, her mind worked faster than a spinning top.

"Alright, I'll do as you say. Prepare seven for me first, one for myself and one for the six spirits."

"You wish! Seven weighted bracelets would require a whopping 70 million. If you really want them, buy them yourself; absolutely do not use the organization's funds."

Their conversation reached Xuan Mingtian's ears, leaving him frozen in place. What the hell? The boss has to pay for things himself?

If I didn't know that Shinji was absolutely loyal to Giovanni, I would have thought the former wanted to replace him. It's like a cow inflating a balloon—completely absurd.

To this, Xuan Mingtian could only say in his heart, "Your brother Tian here is willing to call you the strongest secretary."

"In that case, Xiaotian, just hand over your 10 billion yuan to me. We can use that money to buy it, and we'll still have 9.3 million yuan left."

Banmu's mind raced, and he immediately came up with a solution. That was to have Xuan Mingtian's 10 billion transferred directly to his personal account. That way, he wouldn't have to bother Zhenniao, nor would he have to be watched by her all the time.

"Heh, don't get your hopes up. Your money is the organization's money, and the organization's money is still the organization's money. Besides, your mother instructed me that only after you understand how to choose your path within the organization will all resources be made available to you."

Hearing what Masato said, it's easy to see that Itagi's mother was a shrewd person. She had already thought things through before she disappeared; one can only silently give her a thumbs up.

"Gym Leader Giovanni, I didn't expect you to use this trick on your own people. Go to my manor tomorrow and get 10 weight rings as a contribution to Team Rocket. But how you distribute them is up to Toriyama."

The moment Itagaki heard the first part of the message, he felt as if he had swallowed a hundred flies. Because handing the weighted bracelets over to Masato for distribution meant a fair allocation was inevitable.

Imagine this: there were originally enough of his Pokémon to use. But then he was told to distribute them to someone else. It's utterly frustrating.

About fifteen minutes later, the mall owner finally appeared in everyone's sight with Uncle Xiao.

"Xiao Tian, ​​what's going on?"

After Uncle Xiao approached Xuan Mingtian, he asked his young master with a puzzled look. He knew the man before him was the head of the Tokiwa Dojo, but why was he here in the basement of the mall to discuss business? He suspected that this dojo head must have some secrets he was hiding.

"Uncle Xiao, you probably know who this is. But he has another hidden identity: he's the boss of Team Rocket, the underground force in Kanto."

Xuan Mingtian showed no intention of hiding anything from Uncle Xiao, and telling him directly demonstrated the former's trust in him.

"This...this, but Madam told you not to do anything reckless, but now you are doing it."

Although Uncle Xiao was prepared to face the truth, he still trembled slightly upon hearing that the other party was the leader of Team Rocket, and even his words were tinged with shock.

“Uncle Xiao, you know that the family treats the League as something dispensable. The same goes for Gym Leader Giovanni’s Team Rocket. However, I personally feel that the latter is much better than the former. But don’t worry, Gym Leader Giovanni will not reveal our information.”

Seeing that Uncle Xiao was still in shock, Xuan Mingtian had no choice but to explain it to him again.

"Xiao Tian, ​​is there something you need help with that you called me over here?"

As expected of a butler with over ten or twenty years of experience, he calmed down and returned to his original state in no time.

"Butler Xiao, here's the thing. I've reached an agreement with Xiao Tian that he will sponsor the Rockets with 10 billion League Coins every year."

"At the same time, I will join the organization as an honorary leader, and I will receive the funds directly through the business's reputation. I will also sign a document to mislead outsiders."

As expected of the Rockets' boss, Giovanni spoke with great confidence and authority. Uncle Xiao, listening nearby, nodded in agreement. Since his young master had decided to cooperate with the other party, they had to handle the flow of these funds properly and prevent anyone from finding out what happened.

“I feel this method is lacking something. I suggest setting up a few shell companies to manage these funds. Imagine 10 billion Alliance Coins flowing into a shopping mall all at once. It's easy to arouse suspicion.”

After thinking for a while, Banmu felt that Uncle Xiao's plan was better, and then said, "Okay, then let's do it according to Butler Xiao's method. I will have Zhenniao assist from the side, but it will take a little time."

"Then it's a deal. There's no need to rush the timing, let's start implementing it next Monday."

After discussing the matter, Xuan Mingtian immediately set a timetable for implementation. He no longer needed to be present; he could simply leave it to his trusted confidants.

As time passed, Banmu reappeared in the mall with Xuan Mingtian and the others. He even waved his hand, wanting to show hospitality by waiving the cost of their purchases.

However, Xuan Mingtian sternly rejected this idea. Every time he took everyone out to spend money, the expenses ranged from hundreds of thousands to millions, even though he was now the honorary leader. What he disliked most was the practice of offering free meals at the drop of a hat.

Left with no other option, Banmu could only invite them to a five-star hotel for dinner.
