Ryan hoped that Ram would attack him, so that he would have a chance to get Darkrai back.

Oh no, to be precise, it is to rescue Darkrai from the Church of Shadows and help it escape from suffering.

In Ryan's opinion, the Shadow Church must have used special means to control Darkrai and turned him into a puppet to be manipulated by others.

As for what Mold said about Darkrai being a subordinate god of the Shadow Church, this kind of talk could only deceive the members of the Shadow Church. Ryan didn't believe it anyway.

Not to mention that the so-called subordinate gods are just a concept created in the human religious system, the official Pokémon has never clearly divided the levels.

The subordinate relationships of some mythical beasts are mainly based on the hierarchy of creator and created, such as Arceus and the three dragons, Regichikas and the pillars.

There are also some legendary beasts that seem to be divided by responsibilities, but in fact it depends on who has the bigger fist, such as Lugia and the Trinita, as well as the Three Gods of Hoenn.

The subordinate relationship between them was fought for. Whenever the three stupid birds caused trouble, Lugia would step in to calm it down.

Similarly, when the Fathead Fish and the Flightless Fish fight for territory, Rayquaza will intervene to stop them.

So the question is, why do the other legendary beasts calm down once Lugia and Rayquaza take action?

It’s because they are strong enough!

These two people who try to mediate quarrels always like to convince others with reason, but it is only the reason of physics.

With a finishing touch and a cyclone attack, even the most irritable beast will calm down.

In this case, people think it is normal for there to be a subordinate relationship between them, and whoever has the bigger fist can be the boss.

However, even if this kind of subordinate relationship really exists, Darkrai cannot be a subordinate god of other mythical beasts.

Whether from the official setting or the animation, Darkrai is a relatively independent mythical beast, and at most he has a love-hate relationship with Cresselia.

What's more, it is not certain whether the demon god believed in by the Shadow Church really exists. After all, among the mythical beasts, only Hoopa can be called a demon god.

However, according to the existing information, the demon that the Shadow Church believes in does not look like Hoopa, and given Hoopa's personality, it is unlikely that he will accept the beliefs of the Shadow Church.

Even if the demon that the Shadow Church believes in is really related to Hoopa, it would further prove that Darkrai was controlled by them.

It is impossible for Darkrai in his normal state to help the evil. Although this nightmare god has a bad reputation, his nature should not be bad.

In the official setting, Darkrai only protects himself by causing people and Pokémon to have nightmares, and he has no ill intentions.

Not to mention the Darkrai in the movie, he is a real man who can fight with the Twin Dragons of Time and Space to protect humanity.

Even if Darkrai of the Shadow Church is a different individual, it would not be bad enough to wantonly kill innocent lives, so Ryan speculated that Darkrai was most likely controlled by the Shadow Church.

Ryan felt heartbroken when he thought that the Nightmare God had become a puppet of the Shadow Church.

You know, Darkrai was one of his favorite Pokémon in his previous life, so he must find a way to rescue Darkrai.

Thinking of this, Ryan said to Molde with shining eyes: "When will Ram attack me?"

Molde looked at the expectant expression on Ryan's face, his eyes full of confusion.

Was the young viscount frightened by his own words? Why did he look like he couldn't wait to meet the God of Nightmares?
Mord was puzzled and could only answer Ryan's question:

"I don't know either. Ram received an order from the church some time ago to go to the Northwest Province to assist another guardian in capturing the Ice God. There has been no news of his return yet."

"Does that mean he won't be back in the short term?" Ryan said disappointedly.

"Uh, yes." Molde looked at Ryan, who was full of regret, and asked curiously: "This is also a good thing for you. It can give you more time for development. Why are you unhappy?"

Ryan responded expressionlessly: "None of your business!"

Of course he was unhappy. Others were afraid of Darkrai because they couldn't beat him, but he was not afraid!
Mewtwo has always longed for a worthy opponent, and the pink onion-headed man's fists are not just for beating him.

Not to mention Darkrai of the Shadow Church, even if it was the one in the theater, Ryan would not be without the ability to fight.

But then again, if this Darkrai really had as much strength as in the theater, he wouldn't be easily controlled by the Church of Shadows, so Ryan wasn't worried.

As long as Ram dares to attack him with Darkrai, he will be given a Nightmare God gift package.

As a result, Ryan didn't feel happy for long, because Molde told him that it would take some time before the gift packages could be distributed, so it would be strange for him to be in a good mood.

Damn it, my Darkrai!

I'm sorry that you have to stay in the Shadow Church for a while longer. I will rescue you soon!

Molde could naturally hear the dissatisfaction in Ryan's tone, and a surge of grief and resentment surged in his heart.

He kindly reminded Ryan, but in return he was humiliated by Ryan!

This kid doesn't have any noble demeanor at all, he's even more rude than their Shadow Church!

Molde lowered his eyes, trying hard to suppress his inner anger, fearing that Ryan would notice his hatred.

Now that his life is still in Ryan's hands, he can only live a miserable life and look for a chance to survive.

However, he secretly swore in his heart that if he could escape this disaster, he would find ways to take revenge on Ryan. He would make Ryan wish he could neither live nor die!

Molde thought he had hidden his true thoughts and emotions very well, and did not notice the deep blue light emanating from Gardevoir's eyes next to him.

Although Gardevoir could not find out what Mord was thinking, it could clearly sense the emotions of this human.

When it sensed that Mold was still full of malice towards Ryan, it subconsciously wanted to get rid of Mold. It would not allow anyone to hurt Ryan.

However, it was also afraid that it would ruin Ryan's plan, so it asked Ryan for advice before taking action.

At this time, Ryan was thinking about how to lure Ram to attack him, when he suddenly felt someone patting his shoulder.

He turned his head to look at his shoulder, but didn't see the palm. He immediately reacted and turned to look at Gardevoir.

Among the Pokémon present, only Gardevoir possesses such exquisite telekinesis control ability.

With the deep bond between Ryan and Gardevoir now, they can understand each other's meaning with just a glance.

After learning of Gardevoir's thoughts, Ryan gave it a reassuring look. In his eyes, Mord was already a dead man. The reason why he didn't kill him was simply because he still had value that had not been exploited.

Since Gardevoir wanted to resolve this hidden danger as soon as possible, he naturally would not refuse.

So Ryan then asked Molde: "You just said that Ram went to the Northwest Province to capture the Ice God, right? Did they succeed in the end?"

"I'm not sure about that." Mord hesitated. Ryan frowned and said impatiently: "Did you catch the God of Thunder?"

Molde replied with a bitter face: "I don't know either."

Ryan was almost amused by Mord's words. He said in a cold tone:

"You don't know this, and you don't know that, and you still have the nerve to say that you have a lot of information about the Shadow Church!"

"I I." Molde didn't know what to say for a moment.

Even though he used to call himself the confidant of Dharma Protector Ram, in fact, he was just running errands for Dharma Protector Ram.

As for relationships, he is indeed closer to Dharma Protector Ram, and other members will be polite to him for the sake of Dharma Protector Ram.

But his real status was not high. He did not even have the qualifications to know information of the level of capturing the three sacred birds. It was impossible for the guardian Ram to tell these things to a mere secret guard like him.

Seeing that Molde didn't know anything about the question, Ryan didn't want to ask any more questions and stood up to leave.

Molde knew that if Ryan left, his life would be in danger, so he quickly shouted:
"Wait! Although I don't know the information about those two gods, I know where your enemy is!"

Ryan paused, turned to Mord and asked, "My enemy, are you talking about Deacon Dick?"

Mord nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, it's him! It was he who caused the beast tide that attacked your territory!"

Ryan said indifferently: "Don't say these well-known nonsense, just tell me where he is!"

Looking at Ryan's indifferent face, Molde plucked up his courage and said through gritted teeth:
"I can tell you, but you have to swear to spare my life!"

When Ryan heard this, his expression did not change at all, and he said in a flat tone:

"You have no right to bargain with me. Either you tell me or you die!"

"But isn't Deacon Dick your enemy? Don't you want revenge?!" Molde asked anxiously.

Ryan replied calmly: "He is my enemy, but my enemy is not just him, but the entire Shadow Church."

"And don't forget that I now control the trade and information channels of the Merchants' Association. As long as he is still looking for the trace of the Fire Bird in the Whirlpool Sea, it is only a matter of time before I find him."

"So your information is not valuable to me. I am giving you a chance by stopping to listen to you. If you don't want this opportunity, Gardevoir!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Molde felt a familiar pressure. He knew it was Gardevoir who made the move without even looking.

Although Gardevoir's intimidation frightened him, he still suppressed his fear and shouted:
"Deacon Dick's intelligence is not valuable, but the value of your father's intelligence can buy my life!"

As soon as these words came out, Ryan's eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Molde who was kneeling on the ground in surprise.

"Do you know anything about my father? Where is he now?"

Mord remained silent and just glanced at Gardevoir.

Ryan waved at Gardevoir upon seeing this, and Mord suddenly felt the restraint on his body disappear.

He breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Ryan still attached great importance to the information about his father. As long as he could make good use of this information, he might be able to survive from Ryan.

Ryan looked at Molde's slightly relaxed posture and understood his little thoughts.

His reaction just now was too big, allowing Molde to seize the opportunity.

But since it concerns his adoptive father, it's not surprising that he reacted more strongly.

Even if he didn't react, Molde would think he was pretending to be calm. After all, normal people would care about the news of their relatives.

The most important thing now is to reduce the value of this information so that Molde won't become complacent.

So Ryan still maintained a calm tone and said: "I know what you are thinking. You just want to use this information to bargain with me."

"But your information is not valuable. You are still not qualified to negotiate with me!"

Molde smiled and said nothing, but from his eyes it could be seen that he didn't believe what Ryan said at all.

The Shadow Church had information about Ryan and his father, so they naturally knew that they had a good relationship.

Deacon Dick had previously proposed arresting Ryan's father and using him to threaten Ryan.

Although in the end, because Ryan's father could not be found, this proposal was not passed and implemented.

But it also proves the relationship between Ryan and his father. It is impossible for Ryan to ignore his father.

Therefore, Molde was very calm. He was sure that Ryan would lose his patience and take the initiative to ask for information. Then the initiative of the negotiation would be in his hands.

Sure enough, after just a moment, Ryan continued to speak, but the content made Molde's face turn ugly.

"From your expression, it's easy to tell that you don't believe what I say. So let me first explain why your information is not valuable."

"First of all, since you are confident that you can use my father's information to negotiate with me, it means that my father is at least still alive, otherwise you would not dare to tell me this information."

"After all, if I learn from you that my father is dead, I will probably kill you in a rage. You value your life so much, you will definitely not gamble with it."

"So my father should still be alive, and he is entangled with Deacon Dick, don't you think so, Mauld?"

After saying that, Ryan stared at Molde's expression. When he saw the look of disbelief on Molde's face, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

However, in order to ensure the accuracy of the information, he still cast an inquiring look at Gardevoir.

Gardevoir nodded to Ryan, indicating that Mord was emitting an aura of shock.

Molde still had hope, pretending to be confused and said:

"I don't understand what you are saying. Your father is still alive, but he has nothing to do with Deacon Dick."

"Please don't make blind guesses. I just want to use this information to exchange for a chance to survive. This condition is not excessive, right?"

"You can spare those black-robed men, why are you unwilling to give me a chance to live?"

Ryan nodded slightly: "Well, what you said makes sense. It is indeed worth exchanging your worthless life for the information about my father."

Molde's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked tentatively: "So what you mean is..."

Before he could finish his words, Ryan interrupted:
"But I refuse!" (End of this chapter)
