Chapter 408: Team Rocket’s Second-in-Command! [408]
Although Sabrina was available, her psychic abilities were far too conspicuous.
Her mastery of psychic powers was her defining trait—something that no one in Kanto, aside from Luo Yuan, could replicate. Any display of her abilities would immediately expose her identity.
Should Archer and his team step in instead?
While Team Rocket, under Giovanni's control, didn't have rigid internal factions, there was still an unspoken boundary between the Kanto and Johto branches.
Take Koga as an example. Despite being a Johto Elite Four member, he refrained from interfering with the operations of Johto's Rocket branch. At most, he'd request their cooperation for specific tasks.
Even when delegating his administrative workload, he had sought help from Team Rocket's headquarters rather than Johto's local division.
If Archer were sent to the Sevii Islands... Archer himself wouldn't object, but it might cause friction among the lower ranks.
In situations as critical as this, even minor issues could escalate. Should any problems arise, they'd be a nightmare to deal with.
Luo Yuan understood Koga's concerns. While Luo Yuan personally considered them trivial, as the organization's second-in-command, he still had to account for the sentiments of those under him.
"There's no need to worry about that... Pryce's Masked Corps will assist us," Luo Yuan assured.
After Pryce joined Team Rocket, his Masked Corps had been fully integrated, becoming an independent, highly mobile unit reporting directly to Team Rocket's leadership.
