I am the boss of Sakaki

Chapter 1157 The one who knows the enemy best is the enemy of the enemy

Sinnoh vibrates.

Even the ruthless members of the Hunter Guild who regarded human life as worthless felt a chill running down their spines and their scalps tingling when they heard the news that Baidai City had completely turned into a scorched earth abyss.

This was no ordinary conflict or looting, but a complete and horrific erasure.

This kind of means is definitely not something that ordinary forces or trainers can possess.

Similarly, deep underground in Veil City, in the headquarters of the New Galaxy Team, Chi Ri naturally also learned this earth-shattering news.

On the huge holographic screen, the shocking image of the deep pit was played repeatedly.

Chi Ri stood with his back to the screen, his hands behind his back. His angular face still had the same unchanging cold expression as if he saw through everything.

Compared to the panic and anger of the outside world, his inner fluctuations were much smaller - after all, he was a madman who clamored day and night to destroy the existing world and create a "perfect new world."

In the face of the grand blueprint for restarting, the demise of a city and the loss of 100,000 lives are nothing more than the dust that is inevitably raised when the old world collapses, and are an insignificant price to pay on the road to perfection.

He even smelled a hint of chaos from it, and this chaos might become a lever for him to pry open the old order.

However, when he received an encrypted message from Sakaki's subordinate Manatori, and learned that Sakaki not only came to Sinnoh in person, but also specifically asked to meet with him secretly in Kurogane City, a hint of real surprise finally flashed across Akari's calm eyes.

Sakaki... appears in Sinnoh at this time?

An extremely bad premonition instantly gripped him.

Could the tragedy in Baidai City be related to this person?

There are only a handful of people in this world who have the ability, motivation, and courage to pull off something so grand. Coincidence?

Chi Ri never believes in coincidences.

He quickly weighed the matter in his mind: if it was really Sakaki who did it, what would that mean?

Was it a warning? A demonstration? Or... the beginning of an unimaginable and frantic action?

No matter what he wanted, Chi Ri had to keep Sakaki's appointment.

This is the most powerful potential ally he can find at this stage, and the one most likely to understand his new world concept.

The risks are enormous, but the potential rewards are equally astonishing.

soon.

Black Gold City.

In a remote and elegantly decorated coffee shop, the lazy afternoon sun shines through the gaps in the thick curtains, casting a few slender beams of light on the smooth floor, but it cannot dispel the dimness and solemnity in the room.

Sakaki sat upright in the booth in the corner, barely touching the cup of steaming black coffee in front of him.

He was wearing a well-tailored dark gray suit, like a silent rock, exuding an invisible sense of oppression.

Xi Jiana stood quietly in the shadow behind him, like a delicate lifeless doll, with only the occasional movement of her eyes proving her vigilance.

The doorbell rang softly and Chi Ri walked in.

Behind him followed two powerful Galaxy team cadres.

Chi Ri's sharp eyes instantly locked onto Sakaki and Shioka Na in the corner. Without any greeting, he just raised his hand and made a simple gesture.

The two cadres understood and immediately began to clear the area with an unquestionable attitude. They quietly but firmly asked the few other customers in the store to leave and hung a sign at the door saying that the store was temporarily closed.

Suddenly, they were the only ones left in the cafe. Even the background music was cut off, and the silence was so dead that one could hear their heartbeats.

Chi Ri then took a step forward and sat down opposite Sakaki.

He also ordered a black coffee, but obviously not for tasting.

He leaned forward slightly, crossed his hands on the table, and stared into Sakaki's bottomless eyes like a scalpel.

"Mr. Sakaki," Akari's voice was low and steady, "Why did you suddenly come to Sinnoh? Without even saying hello in advance."

He paused, his lips curled up in a cold smile, "If the now-torn Sinnoh Alliance knew about this, I'm afraid they'd send the Four Heavenly Kings to follow you around every day, right?"

Sakaki slowly raised his head and did not respond to Chi Ri's tentative courtesy.

His eyes were cold and direct, without any disguise.

With just a glance, the lucky guess in Chi Ri's heart was instantly shattered.

His pupils contracted uncontrollably and his body stiffened slightly, although he immediately controlled it.

No words are needed, the answer is obvious.

"...What happened in Baidai City," Chi Ri's voice lost the false warmth it had just had and became dry, "Did you do it?" Every word hit the silent air like a stone.

"That's right." Sakaki's answer was crisp and clear, like a verdict.

Those two words, weighing a thousand pounds, completely confirmed Chi Ri's most terrifying suspicion. The air seemed to freeze.

Chi Ri was silent for a few seconds, his brain working rapidly.

After the shock, there was great confusion.

"Why?" Chi Ri's voice finally carried a hint of real, incomprehensible doubt, and even a barely perceptible... fear.

He needs to know the motive, which determines his subsequent position and attitude.

"They touched someone they shouldn't have." Sakaki's voice deepened, and every word contained a violent murderous intent that was almost about to burst out but was forcibly suppressed.

The murderous intent was so pure and cold that even Chi Ri, who had experienced many storms, felt his skin tighten.

Chi Ri's brain searches as quickly as a high-performance computer.

This person is so important to Sakaki that he can take action personally and is willing to destroy a city for revenge. I'm afraid his importance to Sakaki is far beyond imagination.

Combined with Sakaki's initiative to meet him...

"It seems," Chi Ri reacted very quickly, "Mr. Sakaki came to see me specifically for this person, right?"

"His name is Sasaki," Sakaki's voice took on a rare touch of emotion, as if he were referring to a close relative. "He's my brother."

The four words "brothers" carry great weight, clearly showing Sasaki's irreplaceable position in Sakaki's heart.

Sasaki?

Chi Ri quickly searched his memory for the name, and a vague image emerged.

There was a gleam in Chi Ri's eyes, and he suddenly realized.

"It's Sasaki who's here to sell the energy cube!" Chi Ri blurted out, a look of understanding on his face, "So the real controller behind the energy cube is you."

He instantly connected the dots. No wonder those energy cubes were so high quality and so technologically advanced. The behemoth Rainbow Group was behind them!

"No wonder!" he whispered.

Sakaki did not give any further explanation for Chiri's inference. He did not need to prove anything to Chiri, he just needed the result.

"It's unknown whether he's alive or dead," Sakaki's voice turned cold again. "From Wuming's last words, I learned that he was captured by the Elf Hunter Guild."

He said these three words before his death in a calm and ordinary way, but they made Chi Ri's heart tremble.

"King Wuming? He... died in your hands?" Chi Ri's voice was filled with a hint of fear that was hard to conceal.

Wuming, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Sinnoh, is as powerful as him and is on par with him. He is one of the pillars of the alliance.

Sakaki actually killed him?

Akari's assessment of Sakaki's danger once again soared to a new level.

"He and the Sinnoh Alliance did something they shouldn't have done," Sakaki said, not hiding his naked murderous intent directed at the alliance's top brass. "So he must die."

The reason is simple and direct.

Chi Ri was silent. He needed to digest this information.

The power and means displayed by Sakaki far exceeded his previous expectations. Cooperating with such a being was like trying to get the skin of a tiger, and the risks were enormous.

But at the same time, the opportunities Sakaki brought were equally huge. Especially... he mentioned the Hunter Guild.

"You want a position in the Hunter Guild, right?" Chi Ri raised his head and looked directly at Sakaki.

"Yes." Sakaki's answer was still concise.

Chi Ri's brain quickly weighed the pros and cons.

Although the Hunter Guild and the Galaxy Team belong to the same gray area, they do not interfere with each other and even cooperate occasionally.

Selling out their base information is equivalent to completely breaking off relations.

But on the other hand, the Hunter Guild is a tough nut to crack, spread across Sinnoh and other regions, and is a cancer that even the Alliance finds difficult to eradicate.

If Sakaki can really uproot it, the huge vacuum of interests left behind will be the expansion opportunity that the new Galaxy team has been dreaming of!

Moreover, exchanging the lives of the Hunter Guild for Sakaki's friendship, this deal... is worth it!

"The Hunter Guild has many bases, just like a cunning rabbit has three burrows. I have no idea where its mysterious headquarters is." Chi Ri said frankly while observing Sakaki's reaction.

Seeing that the other person's eyes remained calm, he continued, "However, my intelligence network does have some information about the locations of several important branches in Sinnoh, including some supply transfer stations and the permanent bases of senior members. I can give you this information."

"Okay." Sakaki didn't seem surprised by this answer. "After I destroy the Hunter's Guild, the remaining resources and territory will belong to you."

He laid out his terms, direct and generous.

An uncontrollable burning light suddenly burst out from Chi Ri's eyes.

The Hunter Guild has been entrenched for many years, and the resources it has accumulated, including rare elves, stolen goods, intelligence networks, secret bases, and controlled gray area territories, black markets, and poaching routes, are astronomical!

If they can take over in full, the strength of the new Galaxy Team will instantly expand several times, and it will directly become the leading dark force in the Sinnoh region!

This thank-you gift is truly extravagant!

"Then thank you!" Chi Ri's voice was filled with suppressed excitement and sincere admiration. He bowed slightly, expressing his solemn acceptance of the gift.

This courage to make clouds and rain with a flip of his hand, this arrogance to treat huge resources as nothing and give them away at will, is something that Chi Ri cannot compare to.

At the same time, his evaluation of Sakaki in his heart rose again:

As expected, Sakaki!
