Chapter 1724: Chapter 1718: Lusamine’s Challenge!

From Lusamine’s point of view, Giovanni had been too domineering back then. He made this so-called alliance almost become an organization where only Giovanni’s word mattered, turning their forces into subordinates of Team Rocket.

Now that Giovanni had disappeared, of course she wanted to try and see if she could turn things around and take the initiative.

At the very least, she did not want someone to continue standing above her head.

Accustomed to being a strong and dominant woman, having someone above her giving orders more or less made her feel uncomfortable.

If it had not been because Giovanni’s power was truly overwhelming, she would not have obediently submitted that way.

But now Giovanni was not here. Team Rainbow Rocket should no longer continue being a place where only Team Rocket had the final say.

Although she did not know why Cyrus was not paying attention to her today, Lusamine believed Cyrus should understand her intention.

After spending so much time together, Lusamine had also understood that the so-called Team Heaven of Hoenn and Team Flare of Kalos were all faithful supporters of Team Rocket. Everything they did followed Team Rocket as the head.

Adding Team Rocket’s leader, Giovanni, and deputy leader Cain, from the beginning, they already had four votes. No matter what decision Giovanni made, basically they had no right to refute it.

But now Giovanni had disappeared. Even if Team Heaven and Team Flare still obeyed Team Rocket, they would only have three votes. As long as the Aether Foundation, Team Galactic, and Team Plasma joined forces, it would not be impossible to compete equally.

As for separating from Team Rainbow Rocket and returning to the independent model from before.

Perhaps other people would have that plan, but she, Lusamine, could not do it.

The League had already reached agreements with multiple forces in the Alola region. Its entry was only a matter of time. If it had not been for the chaos caused by Team Rocket, they probably would have already entered the Alola region long ago.

Although the time had been delayed again and again, no matter how one looked at it, the League’s entry was something that would happen sooner or later. When that happened, they would look for trouble with the Aether Foundation.

Facing a colossus like the League, even if Lusamine had a lot of confidence, she did not believe she had a chance of winning. Even preserving her base under the League’s impact would not be something easy.

Because they were different from forces like Team Rocket, Team Heaven, or Team Galactic. Although those forces were besieged by the League, their losses would not be too great, because their industries were in the dark. But the Aether Foundation’s industries were all in plain sight. If the League eliminated them all at once, she, as president, could not accept it.

Because of that, joining with multiple forces to resist the League was indispensable, and withdrawing from Team Rainbow Rocket was even more impossible.

Now, the only thing she hoped was to be able to have a certain right to speak within Team Rainbow Rocket, so that the Aether Foundation could obtain certain benefits.

"It seems President Lusamine is very attentive to the internal affairs of our Team Rocket. However, you were wrong in one way of addressing me. From today onward, if you want to refer to me by my identity within Team Rocket, I recommend that you call me leader of Team Rocket."

"Otherwise, if some subordinate below cannot bear it and decides to take a trip to your Alola region, in the end, that would not be something too good."

Cain’s words were calm, but the intense threat contained within them was not concealed in the slightest.

"You...!!" Lusamine’s eyes suddenly widened. She pointed at Cain with her finger, not knowing what to say.

But in her heart, she was quite shocked. This deputy leader personally chosen by Giovanni, what kind of strength did he have? And what prestige did he possess within Team Rocket for him to have stabilized the interior of Team Rocket and successfully taken the power that belonged to Giovanni on only the second day after Giovanni’s disappearance?

"At the same time, I hope that after today’s meeting ends, everyone can call me alliance leader. The Rainbow Alliance, also known as the Team Rainbow Rocket Alliance, always needs a leader worthy of that name."

Cain once again threw a heavy bomb into Lusamine’s mind.

Thump!

Lusamine suddenly stood up from her seat.

In her eyes, there was astonishment and disbelief. She had already believed she had valued Cain quite highly. That he could successfully become the leader of Team Rocket was already something extremely impressive.

But she never imagined that this newly appointed leader of Team Rocket would have an appetite even greater than Giovanni’s. He wanted to become the leader of all of them and truly place his power and position above everyone.

"You...!! You...!! What audacity!!" Lusamine pointed at Cain and could not even speak clearly.

Cain also slowly stood up and walked up to Lusamine’s image.

Although for Lusamine, Cain, who was approaching, was nothing more than a projection, she still unconsciously took a step back.

"If anyone is not convinced, they may stand up and discuss it with me."

Cain looked at Lusamine with disdain and then swept his gaze over the other four people who were still sitting in their places.

In reality, whether this meeting was held or not did not matter. Team Heaven, Team Galactic, and Team Flare were already in his hands.

However, Team Plasma and the Aether Foundation could also be considered forces that were not weak.

Mainly Team Plasma. Although currently its king was N, and N was indeed the strongest person within Team Plasma, to Cain, taking N was of little use. Even if he controlled him, behind him there were still the Seven Sages, who could coordinate the entire situation, unless he captured those eight people together.

But Cain also knew that the Seven Sages were seven old men afraid of death, who only knew how to hide behind and make small movements. Because of that, he could not treat Team Plasma the same way he treated Team Galactic.

As for the Aether Foundation, Cain already had a certain calculation in his heart.
