Even Madame Boss was stunned by Giovanni's words, "You little brat, your ambition is truly grand. Pokémon Master? I wouldn't even dare to dream of it."
Giovanni didn't hold back at all, "There's only 'dare not do,' not 'dare not think.'"
Hera, who managed all of Team Rocket's supplies, was more meticulous in her thoughts. She asked Giovanni:
"Are you planning to travel alone? Do you want someone to accompany you?"
Giovanni shook his head, "Of course, I'll be alone. Otherwise, how could it be considered travel?"
Madame Boss rubbed her head, feeling a headache. If Giovanni's current strength couldn't defeat a Gym Leader Level Trainer, she definitely wouldn't let Giovanni go out. "Suit yourself, arrogant little brat. If you die out there, I won't care."
"Understood." Giovanni nodded, "One question: if I show my face, Petrel won't leak my information, will he?"
Actually, there was another point: Giovanni had shown his face too much before, which led to this major cleanup. From today onwards, he would work from behind the scenes, and only his confidants and high-ranking officials would be able to see him.
And Madame Boss also understood what Giovanni was worried about, so she said, "He wouldn't dare, nor would he do it. This is Team Rocket's bottom line. If he were to do that, I would personally kill him!"
She also told Giovanni, "You don't have to worry about him trying to ambush you, because Miyamoto is still watching him there. At most, it will just be some Gym Leader Level and Senior Level guys, which won't be a problem for you."
Only then did Giovanni feel at ease. He had another goal for this trip.
Madame Boss was slightly puzzled, but with her intelligence and Team Rocket's control over external intelligence, she quickly guessed what Giovanni was going to do.
"But what do you plan to do? Wait, you're not going to participate in the Alliance Tournament? To run for Gym Leader?"
Giovanni didn't hide it from Madame Boss. This was a rare opportunity. It was said that in last year's Alliance Tournament, someone almost became a Gym Leader, but he was just a little short on strength.
But when it came to strength, Giovanni was certainly not lacking.
"That's right. If there's an opportunity, becoming a Champion is also an option. Isn't this a good chance to infiltrate the Alliance?"
Madame Boss couldn't help but be amazed by Giovanni's daring. This little brat really dared to do anything.
"Little brat, are you serious? This is too risky. You need to think carefully about a future leader of an underground organization exposing himself to the Alliance's view."
Giovanni wasn't afraid at all. He just smiled and said, "Then, Mother, have you heard of what's called 'the darkest place is directly under the lamp'?"
He lightly pointed to his head, "What's more, have you forgotten? I have another identity, don't I?"
Madame Boss looked at Giovanni with a complex expression. This child was truly too monstrous. Once the Evolution Stone research project was released, he would be directly propelled to a high position.
"It seems you want to make a name for yourself. Aren't you afraid of being assassinated?"
Giovanni was amused by Madame Boss's words, "In the Kanto region, isn't the biggest evil organization us, Team Rocket? Besides Petrel, who else would assassinate me?"
He clenched his fist, a hint of fervor in his eyes.
"Plus, I only need to consider how to gain a firm footing. I can't just kill everyone I meet after joining the Alliance, can I? What's more, after I join, it will be easier to turn more people."
Madame Boss saw that Giovanni had already thought it through, so there was no need for her to stop him. "Since you've considered it carefully, then I won't stop you."
However, temporarily letting Giovanni leave still required some time.
She continued to tell Giovanni, "But you killed quite a few people this time. The organization has no one left to use."
"I understand that point, so I've also thought of a solution." Giovanni had already thought of this long ago.
Madame Boss waved her hand at Giovanni, "Tell me."
Giovanni then expressed his idea, "It's very simple. I will leave all the Shadows to temporarily maintain the current situation."
Madame Boss's eyes flickered for a moment, and she nodded.
Giovanni then brought up another idea, "As for the lack of personnel, I have an idea: investment!"
"If we want to absorb fresh blood faster, we need to do what the Alliance can't do well. We can invest in orphanages, establish a foundation committee, and the organization members don't need to show their faces. They just need to invest as much capital as possible, and we will be able to find suitable subordinates faster."
After listening, Madame Boss gently tapped the sofa twice, "That's fine, but the initial investment will be considerable."
Giovanni had also considered this issue:
"I've thought about that too. I've already had the Shadows search for resources from all the Squadron Leader, Squad Leaders, and Captain Price who were killed today."
"That's enough for the initial investment, and within the next two months, I will publish the results."
Madame Boss knew that Giovanni's research was a golden egg, so she immediately said:
"Alright, after the funds quickly flow back, I will purchase more mines."
Giovanni simply poured out all his ideas at once, after all, he had indeed gone too far this time.
"If possible, I have another idea, but it probably can't be implemented recently."
Madame Boss told him not to worry and to just say it.
"Tell me, I want to see how many more tricks you have in that little head of yours."
Giovanni chuckled, and two words popped out of his mouth, "Black market."
"Black market?" Madame Boss was a bit confused, apparently not knowing what this was.
Hera, who was beside them, guessed some of it, "Black market, meaning a trading market that cannot be exposed to the public and the Alliance's view, right?"
"Exactly." Giovanni snapped his fingers.
"The black market, as the name suggests, is a free market of the dark world. It can gather all sorts of outlaws, Pokémon hunters, assassins, wanted criminals, and so on. Not only can resources and Pokémon be sold to their maximum potential, but it also allows them all to gather."
"From there, we can also select some suitable people to join our Team Rocket."
Madame Boss's eyes also lit up, "Good idea. No other force is more suitable to do this than our Team Rocket."
Giovanni continued to tell Madame Boss:
"The most important thing isn't that. We can regularly hold auctions in the black market, establish an auction house belonging to the black market, collect a commission from sales, and then we can sell some suitable items."
"And implement a high-level membership system. This can also foster good relations with more forces, giving Team Rocket more room for development, and at the same time, have them open convenient doors."
Madame Boss could already feel how much profit this could bring to Team Rocket, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Good. When the time is right, I will help you implement all these ideas one by one."
