Chapter 99: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [99]
Compared to traditional mining giants like Pewter Mining Group at Mt. Moon or Silver Mining Group near Mt. Silver, Stone Brothers Mining Company wasn't quite on the same level.
Still, they were a well-known mining company in Kanto.
Their business focused solely on Pokémon evolution stones.
But specializing didn't mean low profits.
With the rich resources of Evolution Mountain and the help of Team Rocket to eliminate competitors, the Stone Brothers Mining Company now held a monopoly on evolution stones in Kanto, even exporting to other regions. Their annual profits exceeded billions.
"Where did they get the nerve to think they could cut us out?" Luo Yuan muttered, flipping through the documents Matori had sent him.
"That's precisely what we want you to investigate," Matori replied over the call.
"No problem, but you're going to need to assign me a few people. You don't expect me to handle this investigation alone, do you?" Luo Yuan asked.
If it was simply a matter of giving those guys a warning, he could handle it easily.
But getting to the bottom of why Stone Brothers Mining Company was behaving this way? That was going to be time-consuming...and Luo Yuan wasn't about to take all that on himself.
Matori's face took on a troubled expression. "You know as well as I do—there's a lot of heat on us right now. Plus, some of our people have been reassigned to New Island by Giovanni. Manpower is...limited."
