Pokémon cross over into the real world

Chapter 634 The Green Gang's Triumphant Return (1)

In the Southeast Asian elven kingdom of Gambutmu, the local power broker, the Green Gang, is facing its second internal strife. The first was when the elven cult's holy envoy purged the Green Gang's leaders, using overwhelming force and intimidation to quickly seize control of all of the gang's businesses. Yan Xu, originally a low-ranking member of the Green Gang, has been temporarily promoted to its current position.

Although Yanxu had the backing of the Holy Envoy of the Elf Cult, the Holy Envoy later disappeared, causing many former mid- to high-ranking members of the gang to become resentful. Until recently, Yanxu suddenly disappeared and was out of contact for a month. Several high-ranking members began to divide resources and power, and soon the Green Gang was split into three factions, each operating independently in three different towns.

The headquarters of the Qing Gang in Pingyang Town, the Qinghai Company building.

Deng Dexian sat in a swivel chair behind a large desk, a glass of red wine in hand, his feet propped up on the table, listening to music with a look of pure enjoyment. A large cat, its leader, was fast asleep on the table, while a blue-skinned Golduck was scooping fish from the refrigerator, its rear end sticking up. He was none other than the newly appointed head of the Green Gang.

Deng Dexian's ace, the Giant Claw Crab, possessed Master-level early-stage strength, making him a high-level fighter within the gang. When he initially followed Cai Chengwang, his position was neither high nor low. After Cai Chengwang's downfall, he quickly surrendered and sided with the Elf Cult, demonstrating a willingness to cooperate. As a result, he was promoted to an important position, and Yanxu's initial ability to quickly control the Green Gang's business was also thanks to him.

Because of his diligence and ability, he quickly won over a group of people. Until recently, when Yanxu went missing, he was pushed forward to take charge, but the two minor leaders of Krut Town and Tugau Town were not convinced by him, so they simply went their separate ways and everyone went their own way.

The Green Gang's business was divided into three parts: the headquarters in Pingyang Town mainly operated fishing boat rental business, as well as fish markets and fish farming; the town of Krut was responsible for entertainment industries such as luxury boats, KTVs, etc.; and the forces in Tugau Town had been engaged in shady smuggling. Although the Elf Kingdom was closed off from the world, the local residents still had a great demand for industrial products from all over the world. They smuggled some daily necessities back to their country through maritime trade to make huge profits.

"Boss, I'm back!" A junior employee pushed open the office door and entered. The sound startled the boss cat on the desk. It meowed unhappily and glared at the junior employee, who stopped in his tracks in fright.

Deng Dexian stroked the eldest cat and beckoned to him: "Come in, be quiet. Did the bishop say anything?"

The younger brother sat down, took the water Deng Dexian offered, took a sip, and said, "He didn't say anything. I was worried that the Elf Church would send people to take over the Green Gang, but I didn't expect him to tacitly agree."

"What did you say?"

"I led the team to hand over this quarter's offerings and then showed the account books to the bishop. The bishop glanced through them casually and praised our Green Gang for doing a very good job. I also reported to him about Yanxu's disappearance and told him not to worry, that we could manage the Green Gang just fine without Yanxu. The portion to be handed over to the Elf Church would definitely not be less. He nodded and indicated that as long as the offerings were not less, he would not interfere with our business."

Did he accept any personal benefits offered to him?

The younger brother nodded: "I'll take it."

"Good that you've accepted it. Haha, there's no such thing as an incorruptible official in this world. As long as we feed Bishop Robin, we can live peacefully here."

"Boss, what about the other two factions? Will we have to ask them for the tribute we need from now on?"

"Of course, it was agreed that each would be independent, but the offerings would be split equally among the three families."

“Boss, even if all three of them contribute, we won’t have much left. The Holy Envoy previously decreed that the Green Gang would be completely banned by the Elf Cult, which means that most of our profits will have to be handed over…”

"You idiot!" Deng Dexian smacked his underling on the head. "Are you stupid? Didn't that holy envoy lower the fishing boat rental fee to 30% before? Now we've brought it back to 40%, but we'll keep the books at 30%. Besides, the Elf Kingdom has been established, and our country is predominantly Elf-based. Many laws against humans are gone, so we don't need to worry about them. So, can't we continue our illegal DP business? Let the villagers plant poppies, coca, and marijuana in the fields, and I'll find a way to recruit drug-making talent from outside. The money here is the real money-makers."

"Boss is brilliant! I'll only amount to anything if I follow you." The underling quickly flattered him.

"Elder Deng, did you manage the gang's affairs for me while I was away?" A voice suddenly rang out in the room, startling Deng Dexian and his underlings. Deng Dexian jumped up and saw Yan Xu appear in the office without warning, as if the door hadn't even been opened.

"Yanxu! Why are you back? Wait, where did you go before? Why were you missing for so long?" Deng Dexian was still unaware of the situation. He waved his hand to let his underling go downstairs. The underling understood and immediately ran towards the door. However, Yanxu flicked his wrist and the Poké Ball flew out. A Rib Turtle blocked the doorway, and the underling dared not move. In front of Pokémon, humans were nothing but weaklings.

Deng Dexian was stunned. The turtle spirit in Yanxu's hand was a gift from the Holy Envoy of the Spirit Cult, and in his opinion, it was still very weak at the time. However, the turtle in front of him was completely different; it must have evolved. Moreover, its aura was much stronger, which showed that this guy had obtained some kind of opportunity during his disappearance.

"I went away to cultivate for a while. My spirit's strength is weak, so there are always some people in the gang who are dissatisfied. This month-long cultivation trip yielded some gains, and I should be able to keep the troublemakers in check in the gang without any problem." Yan Xu spoke lightly, but he was actually very nervous. He imitated the tone of his former bosses, making sure he didn't lose in terms of imposing presence. The fact that he returned after a month away and saw Deng Dexian sitting in his office made it clear that this guy had usurped the position. Now was the time for him to establish his authority; whether he could truly control the Green Gang depended on this moment.

“I am very grateful to Elder Deng for managing the Green Gang while I was away. Now that I’m back, you can report to me on the current situation of the Green Gang.” Yan Xu said as he sat down on the sofa opposite the desk. The atmosphere in the office suddenly became tense. The cat boss on the desk stared intently at Yan Xu with its big eyes narrowed to vertical pupils, while the Golduck next to him stopped eating and turned around to be on guard. The Rib Turtle crouched slightly, ready to pounce.

The underling beside him, without his Pokémon, couldn't afford a Poké Ball and could only swallow hard and back away. Deng Dexian's mind raced. He'd watched Yanxu grow up since he was a child, always the second-in-command's lackey, just a errand boy. Usually a nobody in the gang, he had little presence, but now, thanks to the favor of the Pokémon Cult's envoy, he'd risen to become the gang's leader. There must be some shady business going on between him and that envoy.

A month of training while missing—how much stronger can one become in a month? Back in the day, the leader Cai Chengwang entered and exited the secret realm many times, and it took him more than ten years to train his Pokémon to Master level, becoming a local tyrant. This Yanxu is still so young; perhaps he will become another Cai Chengwang in the future, but so what? Right now, he's just a little kid who hasn't even grown up yet.

Thinking of this, Deng Dexian suddenly felt confident. He sneered and said, "Yanxu, if you leave now, I'll pretend nothing happened. You already have an elf in your hands, and you even have the title of a high-level holy warrior. Where can't you find a way to make a living? Of course, if you want to stay and continue to serve the Green Gang, that's fine too, but you must admit that I'm in charge here. You're too young, and you can't control this place."

"Elder Deng, don't forget that the Green Gang of today is not the Green Gang of the past. We are the Green Gang of the Elf Cult, and we are devout believers of the Elf God. Everything we do is to serve the great Elf God, and I am the Green Gang leader appointed by the Holy Envoy." Yan Xu invoked the most politically correct religious belief in the Elf Kingdom.

"Haha... What a joke, don't give me that nonsense." Deng Dexian took out a Poké Ball and opened it. A Kingler appeared in front of him, with Golduck and Persian forming a triangle around Yanxu. "The brothers just want to live better here. Before, those noble lords ruled this world, now it's the Pokémon Cult. We, who are struggling at the bottom, don't care who we believe in. Whoever can lead the brothers to a better life is the leader here."
