"Help your brother?" Chen Shi sneered. "No, I'm here to destroy the Guardian Pillars!"
He had no intention of hiding his purpose. Right to her face, he told her he had come to destroy the Guardian Pillars.
Carlita was shocked. "Why, big brother?"
"If the Guardian Pillars are destroyed, we People of the Land won't be able to return to our original homeland."
"My brother will be really sad."
"And Victini isn't sad?" Chen Shi countered.
"Don't you know that the Guardian Pillars' barrier is the very reason Victini can never leave Eindoak Town?"
"Do you think that's fair to Victini?"
Carlita was speechless, unable to think of a rebuttal.
Chen Shi continued, "The selfishness of you People of the Land has already cost Victini a thousand years of freedom, and your brother Dread is still thinking about controlling Victini, using its power to help your people return to the dragon vein."
"Do you think Victini owes you anything?"
At those words, Carlita fell completely silent.
Her little head felt like a jumble.
Did Victini owe them anything?
Not a thing!
If anything, the People of the Land owed Victini.
It was only thanks to Victini's help that the People of the Land had been able to live in peace all these years.
Now, for the sake of his own dream, her brother wanted to control Victini again and drain its power to fulfill that dream.
How unfair was that to Victini?
"Friend, isn't it inappropriate to say those things to a child?!"
Just then, a man in his twenties hurried over, wearing clothes much like Carlita's.
"Brother!" Carlita called.
Chen Shi glanced at him. "You're Dread?"
Mew looked him over carefully, then secretly said something to Chen Shi through Telepathy.
