Matt looked at Giovanni, but did not say anything, only watching him.
Giovanni understood his meaning and slightly opened his mouth, "Sit."
Following this, the Chiefs sat down one by one, their eyes slightly fervent.
Matt smiled, "You must have guessed what I'm going to talk to you about, right?"
Giovanni replied, "Yes, everyone is waiting for me, and I am the only one who knows the exact location of the Haunter of a thousand years's lair, so I can only lead the team."
Matt pointed to one of the Chiefs, "Havertz and his squad leaders and members will act with you. How to handle and how to act is up to you."
Giovanni nodded, "Good."
Matt then instructed his Chiefs:
"The rest of you, don't be idle. Since the most troublesome Haunter has been cleared out, the others will be simple. So, prepare to select a site. Building the base has been delayed for almost a month."
Several Chiefs immediately responded, "Yes!"
Matt glanced at Giovanni, who lightly tapped the table, "Then let's act."
Several Chiefs stood up and loudly replied, "Yes, Boss Giovanni!"
Giovanni got up and walked outside, with Havertz and several other Chiefs quickly following behind him.
When Giovanni walked out first, followed by several Chiefs, he clearly attracted the attention of almost everyone.
Some members who hadn't figured it out couldn't help but ask:
"Who is this?" "Why are the Lords all following him?"
There were also smart ones who had already guessed Giovanni's identity.
"Are you stupid? Look at his clothes, and then think about the only special person when we arrived."
A member's eyes lit up, "This appearance? Why is it so familiar."
"It's that person!"
Giovanni stopped in place, a violently surging aura rising from him, his sharp gaze sweeping around.
All Team Rocket members in the vicinity lowered their heads and knelt on one knee.
"Boss Giovanni!"
At the entrance of the tent, Matt looked at Giovanni's back and his already nascent aura, lightly clenched his fists, and murmured twice.
"The identity of Team Rocket's Boss can only exist in the shadows, so the fewer people who know, the better."
"It seems the organization will face a storm of bloodshed in the future. I hope some of my subordinates can stand behind you and become your claws."
Giovanni's eyes moved, then he retracted his aura, waved his hand, "Everyone, get up. And you all, go get busy."
Several Chiefs responded, "Yes!"
The kneeling members all got up, and under the commands of their respective Chiefs, quickly assembled and then began to act.
Giovanni turned to Havertz and instructed, "Five minutes, gather your subordinates, prepare supplies, I'll wait for you outside the safe zone."
Havertz replied, then immediately rushed off to call his subordinates.
"Yes, Boss Giovanni."
Five minutes later.
Nearly fifty people appeared here, each respectfully looking at Giovanni.
Under Havertz's relay, they already knew what the mission was.
And they also knew that Giovanni had discovered the barbarian tribe and the Haunter of a thousand years.
If it weren't for Giovanni, they might have died earlier, and would not have had the chance to resist the Pokémon' siege and make all preparations.
Now they would wholeheartedly obey Giovanni's orders.
Giovanni lightly lifted his foot and walked into the forest, "Act."
A group of Team Rocket members began to move, quickly following behind Giovanni and heading into the forest.
Because of the Haunter of a thousand years's previous havoc, the remaining Pokémon in the forest were just small fry, with little attack power, not to mention with Giovanni present, even a Gym Leader Level Pokémon.
Under Giovanni's leadership and the siege of so many Team Rocket members, they would eventually be returned to their Poké Balls.
A mighty procession of Team Rocket members traversed the forest.
Last time, Giovanni took a longer time because he had to avoid Pokémon attacks and also prevent disturbing the barbarian tribe.
But this time was different. Now, crossing this forest would only take one-third of the time.
Two days would be enough.
During this period, they still encountered some ignorant Pokémon, but they were all captured.
Finally, under the moonlight, a familiar tribe came into view, only the young adults and even the elderly inside had long become food for the Haunter of a thousand years.
What remained now were only some women and children, whom the Haunter had originally kept, intending to continue enslaving them.
But due to the death of the Haunter of a thousand years, they were freed from control and finally regained their senses. However, they still held intense hostility towards the unfamiliar Giovanni and his group.
Havertz lowered his head and asked Giovanni beside him, "Boss Giovanni, what should we do?"
Giovanni looked at each child, even those who had just begun to understand things, holding weapons pointed at them, and his eyes flickered.
The physical quality of these barbarians was very good. Even if they weren't used as subordinates, they would be very valuable for picking cotton.
However, Giovanni disliked unstable factors. In his previous life, there were countless TV shows about slave revolts overthrowing hegemony.
Even if they were trained as suicidal warriors, there was still a chance of rebellion.
It would be better for Giovanni to cultivate some subordinates from a young age.
So Giovanni just waved his hand lightly, his tone cold and unwavering.
"Kill them, leave no one alive."
Although the physical quality of these barbarians was very good, having lost the control of the Haunter of a thousand years, they were no longer immune to pain.
Furthermore, they were all women and children, and had no ability to tame Pokémon.
They had almost no ability to resist.
As for the Team Rocket members, led by Giovanni, they acted without any mercy, each extremely ruthless.
One after another, small and weak corpses were left in this decaying tribe, tragic and desolate.
They became a part of this island's history, and completely became the past.
Soon, the entire tribe was soaked in blood. Under the moonlight, the crimson blood even turned the moon red.
And the remaining barbarians inside were completely slaughtered, with not a single one left alive.
Giovanni stepped over a child's corpse and casually released Gastly.
In these two days, Gastly had become increasingly dependent on Giovanni, and Giovanni also tested its aptitude.
Of course, he was quite surprised; Gastly's aptitude was considered top-tier.
However, there was no energy left in its body, so any improvement would have to start from scratch.
This was a slight disadvantage, but it also had an advantage: no matter how quickly Gastly improved in the early stages, it would not affect its aptitude.
This made up for the regret of the Haunter of a thousand years at the time and gave Gastly a broader future.
Even if it didn't meet Giovanni, it could still advance to Elite Four Level on its own.
