Chapter 26 - 26: Shadow Unit
The mysterious man glanced at the Pokémon egg in the testing machine and at the blinking light representing its high quality. With a cold, emotionless voice, he asked, "How did you obtain this Pokémon egg?"
The question carried a slight sense of pressure.
"Sir, I found it in a Beedrill's nest; it should be the offspring of the Beedrill leader. I'm willing to offer this Pokémon egg as a gift to you," Cain replied respectfully, not daring to hide anything.
Although he felt somewhat reluctant to hand over the Pokémon egg, he didn't dare to do otherwise.
The mysterious man nodded in satisfaction at Cain's attitude.
Waving his hand, the man said, "There's no need, and I won't take advantage of someone like you. This Weedle Pokémon egg is worth about 18,000 points, so add 20,000 points to his account and deduct it from mine."
The first part was directed at Cain, and the second to the exchange operator who stood waiting nearby.
"Yes," the exchange operator quickly bowed and nodded.
Cain remained respectfully in place, his head lowered, without responding.
The mysterious man stared at Cain for a moment before saying, "You've done well. Would you be interested in helping me with something?"
Cain inhaled deeply and respectfully replied, "It would be an honor to serve you, sir."
