Chapter 578 - 577: Diamonds, Can They Be Eaten?
By the time Cain left the rocky area, the sun was already in the west.
He had managed to extract the information he wanted from Shuichi.
It turned out that Shuichi wasn't taking direct orders from Xenon; instead, Xenon had placed a bounty on Cain within a few small clandestine Rocket Team groups.
Anyone who accepted the bounty could obtain information about Cain from Xenon.
"A bounty of twenty million Pokédollars... wow, I'm really valuable," Cain laughed at himself.
However, the coldness in his eyes deepened.
He understood why Xenon was doing this.
Currently, Cain was Giovanni's protégé, and most people didn't dare to openly attack him.
But this Mythical Island presented an opportunity. What Cain didn't know was how word had leaked that he would be participating in this mission.
Thus, on this island, anyone could be trying to kill him. Even Regi and the other two could no longer earn Cain's trust.
This was likely part of Xenon's plan. He didn't necessarily want Rocket Team members to eliminate Cain directly; rather, he wanted Cain to distrust all participants, preventing him from collaborating effectively with anyone.
