Chapter 130: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [130]
Lance didn't stay at Silph Co. for long.
As a League Champion, he was on his way to inspect the construction of Dark City's new Gym.
With Silph Co.'s investment and the planned Poké Ball factory, Dark City was set to grow rapidly, evolving from a neglected fringe city to a major hub. The Gym had to be built with serious consideration.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with Silph's president and thanking him for supporting the League, Lance left Silph Co.
The president turned to Luo Yuan and Sabrina with a look of relief.
"Luo Yuan, Sabrina, thank you both."
Though Lance's help was greatly appreciated, the president knew well that such assistance came at a cost.
Accepting the League's aid meant that Silph Co. would owe the League a favor in the future.
This was the unspoken rule of mutual benefit.
Even if it came from Lance himself... should Lance need Silph's support in his next bid for Champion, wouldn't they be obligated to help?
Having "insiders" like Luo Yuan and Sabrina handle these Team Rocket grunts was ideal.
