—------------------—
When Diantha woke up again, it was already five in the afternoon.
Diantha slowly sat up, and the thin silk quilt slipped from her body, revealing a beautiful scene.
The room was quiet, and she was the only one there.
"That guy…"
Diantha wanted to get up, but as soon as she moved, her brows furrowed instantly, and she took a slight gasp of cold air.
It hurt a little…
Coming back to her senses, Diantha couldn't help but grit her teeth, that Mammon guy.
She had clearly cried and begged him to be gentler and slower, but the more she yelled, the more excited he seemed to get. Did he want to kill her, that bastard!
Indeed, Diantha also roughly understood that a woman like her would make a man more excited at times, but he should at least take care of her body a little!
He even made her faint; was he even human? And it was her first time too.
After resting for a while, Diantha finally found her clothes on the floor and put them back on.
She slowly walked out of the room, step by step.
"Huh? Miss Diantha?"
As soon as she walked into the living room, a surprised girlish voice came from the side.
"Serena?!" Diantha was stunned, turned her head to look, and her pupils slightly contracted.
"Why are you here?" Diantha asked in surprise.
She never expected to see Serena here.
Isn't this Mammon's villa? This isn't right!
And…
Diantha looked at the fruit plate Serena was holding.
"Oh, Mammon and the others are in the backyard right now. I came to get some fruit for them."
Serena saw this and explained with a smile.
"I'm temporarily staying here. Miss Diantha, when did you arrive?"
Serena was curious. She had been in the kitchen just now and hadn't heard anyone come in.
Does that mean Miss Diantha had been in the villa all along?
"I came this afternoon to discuss some matters with Mammon. I wasn't feeling well, so I rested in the room for a bit."
Diantha showed no flaws in either her tone or expression, truly worthy of being a professional actress.
But that wasn't the point right now.
"Serena, you're staying here?" Diantha's voice was already a bit off.
"Yes, Mammon invited me to stay because I had nowhere to rest in Lumiose City."
Serena replied frankly, and she thought it was quite good.
The main thing was that she could spar with Platinum anytime, and if Mammon and Caitlin came to watch their special training, they would also provide guidance.
Serena really liked this atmosphere.
"If you have nowhere to stay, you can stay with me." Diantha's heart sank.
"That would be too much trouble for you, Miss Diantha." Serena smiled awkwardly.
You're afraid of troubling me? Aren't you afraid of troubling Mammon?!
Diantha felt utterly terrible at this moment, even worse than when Mammon made her kneel and charge from behind.
Serena, you are the future glory and hope of our Kalos. How can you be so close to Mammon!
Diantha's molars were almost crushed.
She never expected that for Kalos, she had 'sacrificed' herself, even being directly knocked out by Mammon.
As a result, her most promising junior actually moved into Mammon's grand villa.
Damn it! What a jerk!!!
"You and Mammon have only just met, after all, and Mammon is a man, Serena, so it's still not very convenient for you. How about you still stay with me…?"
Diantha tried to make an effort.
"It's okay, Miss Diantha. Mammon is a good person, you know. I believe he's not that kind of person."
Serena's delicate face had a very sweet smile, and her tone was filled with deep trust in Mammon.
Well, she already had a considerable good impression of Mammon, and after hearing Mammon's self-narration this afternoon,
Serena became even more convinced that Mammon was completely trustworthy!
Sister, did Mammon put a spell on you?!
Diantha didn't understand.
In her perception, Serena was clearly a very calm and rational person.
Cohabiting with someone of the opposite sex whom she had only known for a few days should not happen to Serena.
And Mammon is a good person? Bah!
"…"
Diantha was truly speechless, but she couldn't reveal what Mammon had threatened her to do; she still had her dignity.
"But Serena, do you really understand Mammon? Perhaps some people are not as they appear, and may have unknown identities."
Diantha was clearly a bit anxious here, almost explicitly stating it.
After all, she genuinely thought highly of Serena and had too many expectations for her.
"I know." Serena's gaze towards Diantha was already a bit off, and she replied as such when she heard the words.
"?"
"Miss Diantha, you must be trying to say that Mammon is the leader of Team Rockets from Kanto, right?"
"???"
Diantha was shocked. Serena actually knew?
"Serena, since you know, you…"
"Because Mammon is not a bad person, and our Team Rockets is not an Evil Organization."
Serena replied with a smile, a very beautiful smile, with politeness and a slight sense of distance.
"Serena, you…" Diantha was stunned because she noticed it.
"Yes, Miss Diantha, I have already joined Team Rockets and am now a senior executive of Team Rockets."
Hearing Serena's words, Diantha's mind exploded.
"Miss Diantha, I really hope you don't look at our organization with prejudice. Mammon is a very excellent, very kind, and very great person. He has always been contributing to this world."
Serena said seriously.
Serena, have you been brainwashed?
Mammon is very kind and great??
Diantha was already numb. She looked at Serena and opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.
Finally, Diantha could only sigh helplessly in her heart.
"Is that so? I was too narrow-minded."
Even with Diantha's excellent acting skills, she couldn't perfectly manage her expressions at this moment; her expression was quite forced.
"As long as you get to know Mammon more, I think Miss Diantha, you will understand." Serena saw Diantha's insincerity.
But it's not surprising, after all, Team Rockets' reputation used to be really bad, so it's normal for Miss Diantha to remain skeptical.
No, when it comes to understanding, I definitely understand more than you.
Diantha complained in her heart, I even know how long and how big he is.
"I'm going to the backyard now, Miss Diantha, would you like to come with me?"
"No, I need to go back first. Please tell Mammon for me, Serena."
Diantha replied calmly. She just wanted to go home, take a shower, and then continue to rest.
Staying overnight was definitely not an option, otherwise, she was afraid Mammon would want to play again at night, and she would really be broken!
Mammon was really too fierce.
She should rest well and adjust her body before coming back.
"Okay, then I'll see you off."
Serena placed the fruit plate on a nearby table and escorted Diantha to the door.
Although Serena still wanted to continue seeing her off, after all, she had a good impression of Diantha, an elder who had taken care of her a lot.
However, Diantha said there was no need, so Serena had no choice but to return to the villa.
Taking out her phone and sending a message to her assistant, Diantha sat on a nearby bench. Even with her temperament, she couldn't help but grit her teeth at a certain person at this moment.
Being ridden by him was nothing, after all, Diantha was already mentally prepared, she was just annoyed that Mammon was so forceful and didn't show any tenderness.
But he actually stole her Serena!
Serena was Diantha's most anticipated successor, and he actually tricked Serena into joining Team Rockets.
How could this be!
"No, I must 'rescue' Serena."
Diantha's eyes were incredibly firm. She absolutely couldn't just watch Serena fall into the 'abyss'!
Team Rockets, that should absolutely not be Serena's destination.
But the key was that Serena now seemed to trust Mammon exceptionally, which was truly baffling. Why?
Diantha thought long and hard but couldn't understand. Could it be that Serena was hypnotized by Mammon? That's impossible.
And just then.
"Miss Diantha?"
A surprised voice came again, making Diantha pause.
Diantha looked up and saw Alexa and Viola sisters right in front of her.
"Hmm? Alexa, Viola, why are you here?"
"We came to see Mammon."
"What?"
Diantha instinctively stood up in surprise, but the pain from a certain spot made her brows furrow involuntarily again.
"Miss Diantha, are you alright?"
Noticing Diantha's slightly pale expression, Alexa quickly supported Diantha and asked with concern.
"It's fine, I'll be alright after resting for a bit." Diantha forced herself to adjust her expression.
"Why are you looking for Mammon?"
Diantha asked the question she cared about most.
I sacrificed myself for you two sisters, putting myself in Mammon's mouth, and now you two are actually going to him on your own initiative?
Diantha was really starting to lose it.
"My sister did an exclusive interview with Mammon at noon, and it's already been edited. We just wanted to let Mammon see it first." Viola smiled, looking very pure and beautiful.
"Mammon's exclusive interview?" Diantha was a bit confused.
"Yes, Mammon is really amazing, and very handsome."
Viola blinked her eyes, not without some longing.
They had been editing non-stop all afternoon and finally got the finished product out.
How to put it? After seriously reviewing the interview again, Viola admitted that she had become a fan of Mammon.
Talent, responsibility, ideals, and achievements, what an excellent man.
"?" Diantha threw out a question mark.
"Alexa, would it be convenient to show me this interview video later?"
Diantha felt there was a big problem, and she decided to watch this video.
"Of course, but right now…"
Alexa glanced at Mammon's villa not far away, hesitating for a moment.
"It's alright, you two go to Mammon first. Just send it to me tonight."
Diantha and Alexa exchanged contact information.
There's a problem, a very big problem!
Diantha looked at the retreating figures of Alexa and Viola, and then thought of Serena inside the villa.
One by one, they all seemed to be under a spell, believing Mammon was a good person?
Where the heck was he good?
It was her first time, and he wouldn't even go a little easier, using so much force that he *knocked her out.
The problem was really too big.
Diantha genuinely felt something was very wrong, but she didn't know what it was. She would watch Alexa's exclusive interview with Mammon tonight.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, the assistant's car finally arrived, and Diantha got in and left.
About half an hour later, Alexa also excitedly walked out of the villa.
That evening, an exclusive interview video was pushed out by Lumiose City Publishing House, spreading on TV channels and online.
Not just Kalos, but all regions!
And the title was:
"Team Rockets Boss Mammon Exclusive Interview: I Lit the Way to Darkness!"
