—------------------—
Team Galactic's boss, Cyrus, was captured and became a prisoner.
All Team Galactic members he brought to the Michina, including Commander Mars, were also captured.
One by one, they were escorted down the mountain and put into the vans.
"Ah So comfortable!"
Rosa raised her arms and stretched widely, her close-fitting short shirt lifting with the movement, revealing her slender waist wrapped in long tights, which contrasted sharply with her yellow skirt-shorts.
The girl's unintentional movements gave off a very alluring feeling, making one unable to resist wanting to explore further.
"You all performed exceptionally well. You truly defeated Cyrus; you didn't disappoint me."
Mammon walked up to Rosa and the others, praising them with a smile.
"Hehe~ Just a mere Evil Organization leader, easily handled," Rosa said with a radiant smile and a hum.
"In the end, it was still Mr. Mammon who made the move, otherwise Cyrus might have escaped," Kieran said, a bit embarrassed.
After all, it was five against one, ganging up on him.
Although there was no need to speak of righteousness to Evil Organization members, Kieran felt that he and the others had gained an unfair victory.
Moreover, Mammon had handled the finishing touches.
"No, I merely added the finishing touch. You might not have been able to keep Cyrus," Mammon shook his head.
"You all have made a great contribution this time. Each person is rewarded with twenty thousand Merits, and you can choose one item from the item library as a reward."
"You can use it now, or you can temporarily keep it."
Mammon said to the five, he was still as generous as ever.
"Yay! Long live Mammon!"
"Mr. Mammon, you are so generous!"
"Mammon, Mammon! I love you!"
Rosa and the other four were all very happy. In fact, according to the reward on the task list, capturing Cyrus would have earned about eighty thousand Merits.
But Mammon added another twenty thousand for the five of them, which they could just perfectly split, and he also gave each person a chance to choose an item reward.
He was truly too generous.
"You girl, you shouldn't say such things carelessly. What if I take it seriously?"
Mammon laughed, looking at Rosa with amusement.
It was this bun-haired girl who had just shouted 'I love you,' and she had shouted it quite loudly.
"I didn't say it carelessly at all. Mammon is so handsome, I really like you. What do you think of me?"
Rosa was very bold, smiling so much that her eyes curved into crescent moons.
Wow!!!
Drayton and Kieran couldn't help but exclaim 'wow,' both teenagers were stunned. Good heavens, is this a confession?
This must be a confession!
Platinum was astonished and shy. Speaking of which, she had never really considered matters of the heart. Seeing a girl her age so bold, she was truly shocked.
But…
Platinum looked at Mammon, emmm…
It must be said that Mammon's appearance was very handsome, and his strength was astonishingly powerful. If one didn't consider the nature of his organizations, the organizations and companies under his name would be enough to make him a top entrepreneur.
Hmm, but it was Team Rockets.
Caitlin cast a cold glance at Rosa, her fair, delicate face expressionless. Another one trying to snatch her man!
"Very good, we'll talk about it another time," Mammon chuckled softly.
"Eh?"
Rosa was a bit dissatisfied upon hearing this. I've been so bold as to confess, Mammon wouldn't think I'm joking, would he?
Or is it because of his girlfriend?
Rosa felt that she should have a good showdown with Mammon's girlfriend. Only the strong can become Mammon's girlfriend!
"Rosa, feelings are not a game. You need to carefully consider your true thoughts and determine if it's genuine liking, not just a momentary impulse."
"And you know, I have a girlfriend."
Mammon thought for a moment and said to Rosa.
It wasn't that he had suddenly become celibate. If Rosa truly came to him at night, he would absolutely not refuse.
However, for a talented individual like Rosa, who possessed both beauty and figure, he was not in a hurry.
"Oh~ I understand."
So it was indeed because of that inexplicable girlfriend.
Rosa confirmed in her heart. Although her confession was subtly rejected, Rosa was not discouraged.
She was very certain that she genuinely liked Mammon, and Rosa was also certain that such an excellent Mammon was the only choice for her man!
Rosa was still very upset. Mammon had actually been 'beaten to the punch' by someone else. How annoying!
Originally, she and Mammon were a match made in heaven, destined to be each other's most beautiful first love, and have a bunch of babies later.
But now Mammon's first time was gone, and that woman must have slept with Mammon, right? Definitely, if it were her, she definitely wouldn't have been able to resist.
Ah ah ah ah! Damn it!
Just thinking about Mammon and that woman doing this and that in bed made Rosa want to scream.
This is the man I set my sights on!!
Forget it, what's done is done. Just consider it Mammon practicing his skills with that woman. Mammon will definitely be mine in the future!
Rosa was very confident. She knew that with Mammon's taste, his girlfriend must not be bad either.
But what about that? If you have the guts, come and spar with me!
If I don't beat you into self-abasement and make you leave Mammon, I'll eat my Poké Ball on the spot!
Rosa suddenly saw the light. That's right, waiting for Mammon's girlfriend to appear would be the best opportunity for her to launch her offensive.
That's how it is!
"Mr. Mammon, now that Cyrus and so many Team Galactic members have been captured, what are you planning to do?"
Platinum asked curiously.
She was indeed very curious about this, because unlike Rosa and the others, Platinum knew very well that Mammon was the boss of Team Rockets.
Although… over this period of time, Team Rockets had truly refreshed Platinum's ingrained impression of an Evil Organization.
Because she genuinely felt that Team Rockets was simply too legitimate!
So legitimate that it hardly seemed like an Evil Organization.
They actively combated Team Galactic and the Hunter Organization, though in truth it was simply to control the Sinnoh region's underground world and expand their territory.
But regardless of their initial intention, the fact was that Team Rockets was indeed eliminating Evil Organizations.
Moreover, Platinum also discovered that while Team Rockets' methods were domineering, they would not engage in banditry like stealing other people's Pokémon.
They were very disciplined!
This truly greatly changed Platinum's worldview.
She felt that Team Rockets could not really be called an Evil Organization, and as a result, her work enthusiasm had increased significantly.
"As for those ordinary Team Galactic members, if they are willing to repent, I am willing to give them a chance to turn over a new leaf."
Mammon did not hide anything. Wasn't merging with Team Galactic for the purpose of strengthening himself?
"The company is still very short on staff. This also makes it easier to manage them, because they probably picked up many bad habits while in Team Galactic. Even if they are willing to change, it will take time and management."
"Mr. Mammon! You are truly great!"
Kieran looked at Mammon with extreme admiration. This was his idol!
"It's not that exaggerated, it's also for the company's development," Mammon humbly shook his head.
"Then, among the Team Galactic executives, three have been captured so far. Commander Jupiter is still unwilling to surrender, Commander Mars has just been escorted back, and as for Jupiter, he has already surrendered and is currently adapting to his new job with Gladion."
Mammon said that among the Team Galactic executives, Commander Mars was the most loyal to Cyrus. In the original story, she was even willing to go to the Distortion World to find Cyrus.
Next was Commander Jupiter, then Jupiter and Pluto. Jupiter was actually always attracted by the new world Cyrus spoke of, and did not know Cyrus's true plan.
And now, under Team Rockets' recruitment, Jupiter has already compromised and is willing to join Team Rockets, and Commander Jupiter is also hesitating.
"Now that Cyrus has been captured, Commander Jupiter will surely be willing to surrender soon. As for Cyrus…"
"This person is mentally ill and detrimental to company unity, so I'm not planning to take him in. I'm thinking of either arranging for him to mine and build roads to contribute to Sinnoh, or handing him over to the Alliance to spend the rest of his life in prison."
Mammon pondered, he was indeed very seriously considering this point.
For Mammon, Team Rockets wasn't willing to accept just anyone.
Having ambition is fine, having ideals is fine, having stubbornness is also fine; these are not big problems.
As long as it doesn't affect Team Rockets' interests, Mammon doesn't mind his subordinates having their own ideas, so even Carr, Mammon is willing to continue using.
If one were to be truly particular, the Four Generals and the Three Beasts had all committed many evil deeds before, but Mammon never intended to pursue them.
Because ultimately, at that time, Team Rockets was led by Giovanni, and the organization's policies were also guided by Giovanni.
Team Rockets was called an Evil Organization precisely because Team Rockets didn't act like decent people back then.
But Team Rockets now belongs to Mammon; the past is the past, and the present is the present.
Mammon's philosophy is very different from Giovanni's; he disdains engaging in low-level evil. And Carr and the others dare not defy Mammon's will, otherwise Mammon wouldn't mind carrying out a purge.
But clearly Mammon's authority is no less than Giovanni's. The Four Generals and Three Beasts are all very loyal, and Sird has already pledged allegiance. Although Carr is eccentric, irritable, and malicious, he also dares not defy Mammon.
After all, Carr is merely arrogant, not stupid. Now that the organization has a new king, if he disobeys, he will suffer the same fate as the Iron-Masked Marauder, whom he personally dealt with.
And there's no need to mention the people Mammon recruited himself; they are completely loyal to Mammon.
So Team Rockets is Mammon's one-man show. He isn't afraid of his subordinates forming factions or cliques at all. As long as it doesn't affect Team Rockets' profits, he doesn't care.
But while anyone can be taken in, he will absolutely not accept those who fail to recognize the situation or those who are extremely fanatical.
He's talking about people like Ghetsis and Cyrus, especially Cyrus.
"Let's send him to mine! Handing him over to the Alliance would be too easy on him!"
Rosa's eyes lit up, and she excitedly suggested.
The boss of Team Galactic going to mine, just thinking about it is exciting!
Emmm…
Platinum and the other four exchanged glances, saying nothing more.
Even they felt that extreme individuals like Cyrus were beyond saving.
"Alright, then let him go mining."
Mammon didn't care. He also owned a mining company in Sinnoh, specifically for Cyrus and members of Dark Organizations like Team Galactic and Pokémon Hunters who were unwilling to surrender to Team Rockets.
Free labor, no reason not to use it. It could also be considered letting them realize their value.
And so, Cyrus, the boss of Team Galactic who wished to create a new world, became an excellent miner from then on.
Working tirelessly from Platinum till dusk, he finally had no energy left to ponder what a perfect human was.
Because the first thing he did every day after finishing work and returning to his small bed was to bury his head and sleep soundly, snoring like thunder.
Hmm, if he's kept busy, won't he have no time to ponder life?
