Team Rocket's Second-in-Command!

You can actually do that?

After listening to Luo Yuan's advice, Koga realized how limited his thinking had been.

For years, he'd viewed League duties as separate from Team Rocket's work—handling League matters during the day and Rocket matters at night, keeping the two entirely distinct.

This rigid separation had left him exhausted.

But Luo Yuan's insights illuminated a new perspective: League work and Rocket work were both just work.

Why not outsource the tasks he couldn't conveniently handle for the League to Team Rocket instead?

Koga's thoughts began to expand. Even small, innocuous Rocket tasks—like gathering non-classified information—could be handed off to League officials under the guise of their duties.

By acting as a middleman, he could save himself a ton of effort while still completing both sets of assignments.

It was perfect.

The burdens that had been weighing down Koga's shoulders suddenly lifted as if they'd never existed.

Now he understood why Luo Yuan, despite joining Rocket after him, had risen to become its second-in-command while he remained a mid-level officer.
