Chapter 46 Madam, you don't want to...
Aether Paradise is an artificial island located in the center of the Alola region and is also the base of the Aether Foundation.
Many injured Pokémon can take refuge here, and in addition to protecting Pokémon, the Aether Foundation also conducts research activities here.
As for what to research? What else can the Aether Foundation research?
Of course, it is the Ultimate Beast that Lusamine has been dreaming of.
Mammon set foot on the land of Aether Paradise today, and Lusamine came out to greet him in person.
Lusamine's mansion is located behind the Aether Paradise. If you want to go there quickly, taking a car or a helicopter is the fastest.
"Mr. Mammon, why do you suddenly come to the Aether Paradise today?" In the car, Lusamine asked Mammon calmly.
She didn't have a good impression of Mammon. Mammon's eyes were very rude, and the unbridled wild eyes made Lusamine very uncomfortable.
It was as if the whole body was stripped naked. It had been a long time since anyone dared to look at her with such eyes.
But Lusamine couldn't get angry at will, because the other party was Mammon, the leader of Team Alola Rocket.
"Of course, we're talking about something more important. Chairman Lusamine, won't you take me to visit the Ether Paradise?"
Mammon, who was wearing a baseball cap, replied casually, looking at the buildings outside the car window.
He originally wanted to see if his visit to the Ether Paradise would be the same as in the game, and a Voidid would appear.
Unexpectedly, Lusamine didn't take him to visit the Ether Paradise at all.
"Mr. Mammon, don't you have any self-awareness?" Lusamine replied coldly.
"Oh?" Mammon glanced at Lusamine.
"Dr. Kukui and Hara called me specifically and asked the people of the Ether Foundation to keep an eye on your whereabouts."
Lusamine said coldly. If she didn't really need the Rocket Team, she would definitely not want to have anything to do with the Rocket Team.
Especially for Mammon, a dangerous person, once Kukui and the others find out that he has contacted and traded with Team Rocket, the reputation of the Aether Foundation will take a sharp turn for the worse.
"If I take you to the Aether Paradise for a tour, do you think your identity will be exposed?"
Although the Aether Paradise was established by her, not all the employees of the Aether Foundation are her loyal subordinates.
After all, many people joined the Aether Foundation because of its reputation and Lusamine's charity reputation.
"I see." Mammon was not too surprised.
The traces of the Aether Foundation are all over the Alola region. It is normal for Kukui and the others to want Lusamine to help.
"Dr. Kukui and the others are really making such a fuss." Mammon smiled indifferently.
Lusamine glanced at Mammon. Mammon's nonchalant expression was not pretended. He really didn't take Kukui and the others seriously.
Are you so confident?
Lusamine's eyes flickered slightly, and I don't know what she was thinking.
Soon the car arrived in front of Lusamine's mansion. It was a very luxurious house, and Lusamine lived very well.
The two entered the mansion.
"Then please speak frankly, Mr. Mammon, what is your purpose today?" Lusamine sat down elegantly on the sofa in the living room and got straight to the point.
She didn't want to have much contact with Mammon. Her intuition told her that this boy was very dangerous!
In every sense.
"You are so cold. After all, we are partners, Chairman Lusamine."
Mammon leaned on the sofa carelessly, looking at the living room. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is magnificent.
"As expected of Chairman Lusamine, the foundation has made a lot of money, right? I really admire that one person can do this."
The founder of the Ether Foundation is Lusamine's father, but it was Lusamine who really developed the Ether Foundation to its current scale! Lusamine's ability is unquestionable. Even Mammon has to admit that Lusamine is a very capable woman.
"Thank you for the compliment. Mr. Mammon, you are also young and promising." Lusamine was indifferent. She raised her teacup and took a sip of tea and said lightly.
She had heard too many such words, and her heart was not moved.
"Then let's talk about business. I heard that your Aether Foundation, Chairman Lusamine, has been studying Ultra Beasts, right?"
Mammon changed the subject.
Lusamine's arm holding the teacup paused, but then returned to normal.
"Yes, it is true." Lusamine admitted openly.
The Aether Foundation has been studying Ultra Beasts and Ultra Caves. Ordinary people may not know this. After all, ordinary people don't even know what Ultra Beasts are.
But the top leaders in the Alola region know it, such as Dr. Kukui and others. This is not a secret.
"The Ultra Beasts are a great threat to Alola. It will be beneficial to Alola's development to find out the mystery of the Ultra Beasts as soon as possible." Lusamine said calmly.
"Tsk~ Chairman Lusamine, you are so great."
Mammon couldn't help but tsk when he heard the words.
But there was a sense of yin and yang in his words, which made Lusamine's face darken.
"If you know what the Ultra Beasts did in Alola in the past, you..."
"You don't need to say such high-sounding words, Lusamine, do you think I don't know your thoughts?"
Mammon tilted his head slightly to interrupt Lusamine's words. He was no longer interested in listening to Lusamine's "performance" here.
For Alola? This woman is really thick-skinned.
"What do you mean?" Lusamine's expression was instantly cold, and her pupils lost their highlights and gradients, and they were empty and terrifying.
This is Lusamine's physiological instinct, and it will be like this whenever she shows a paranoid tendency.
"Do you really need me to explain it clearly, Lusamine?" Mammon looked at the mature chairman of the Aether Foundation leisurely, his tone was leisurely.
Lusamine stared at Mammon coldly.
"Why did you ask us to find Liliae and Gladion? It's not because they are your children, but because of Cosmog and Attribute: Empty, right?"
Mammon said with a smile, not caring about Lusamine's cold eyes and expression.
"You found them?!" Lusamine suddenly understood.
"That's right, maybe no one would have thought that Chairman Lusamine, who is full of love for Pokémon on the surface, is a woman who is almost inhumane because of her own children."
Mammon's mouth slowly curled up, looking at Lusamine's ugly face.
"Nonsense!" Lusamine stood up suddenly and spoke angrily. She obviously "loved" Liliae and Gladion so much.
"Don't get excited, Lusamine. I know. There are a lot of 'treasures' hidden in the basement under your house, right?"
Mammon twisted his neck and spoke in a very gentle tone, but what he said made Lusamine's whole body cold.
Lusamine's pupils lost their luster again, and a deep chill quickly spread from the soles of her feet to her whole body.
'Treasures' in the basement... How is it possible? How could this person know? ? !
The devil's whisper sounded quietly in Lusamine's ears.
"Madam, you don't want this secret to be known by the Elf Alliance, right?"
