"Take a look! In just this short amount of time, see how much of an impact they've made."
"The leaders of three small countries have been assassinated. Although guns were used, intelligence reports indicate that the assassins' skills were definitely beyond those of ordinary people."
"Even within our own countries, large numbers of mysterious Nen users have appeared, targeting key political figures."
"Nen users are difficult to detect when hidden among ordinary people. We need to send in even stronger Nen users to deal with them."
"If they gather together, we can strike them with devastating weapons. But they're scattered and mixed in with ordinary people. We've only confirmed the identities of about one-fifth of the mysterious Nen users."
The members of the V5 looked grim. They hadn't dared to go out casually lately.
The approximate number of confirmed Nen users was around five thousand.
Although these were just ordinary Nen users, they were far beyond what ordinary people could handle.
They had confirmed the photos of over a thousand Nen users, but there were still more hidden in the shadows, with no information about them.
What worried the V5 even more was that this number was increasing drastically every day.
Heavily guarded security systems were no match for Nen users.
Each of these Nen users was equivalent to a powerful elite soldier. With a little training in assassination techniques, they could handle any task.
Even if their skills weren't perfect, their power was enough to overcome most obstacles.
A single Nen user squad was far more effective than a special forces team.
The improvements in reaction time, speed, strength, and defense that Nen provided were too significant.
Anyone who followed certain strict rules could develop an ability.
How could ordinary people possibly stop them?
After reading all the information, Cheadle's face turned pale.
She had never imagined that Beyond had done so much without her knowing.
It was a complete assembly line for producing killing machines.
These Nen users were his weapons.
The biggest hurdle, awakening Nen, had been solved by a small game item.
What was left was very simple: help these beginners develop their Nen abilities.
There were probably humans who possessed abilities similar to helping others develop their Nen abilities.
Beyond might have a companion who had the ability to help others develop their abilities.
That was why these students, despite their limited talent, were able to quickly develop their own abilities soon after awakening their Nen.
This was terrible news! For Cheadle, this was simply terrible news.
The situation was far worse than she had imagined before coming here.
"The whole world, countless civilians."
"Compared to the lives of tens of thousands of people on a single small island, there's simply no comparison."
At the V5 headquarters, Cheadle trembled slightly as she listened to the people in front of her, who all had ugly faces.
The Nen users on Greed Island didn't seem to be considered human by them at all.
The lives of tens of thousands of people were being decided with just a single sentence.
And it wasn't a negotiation, but an order.
If she didn't follow the V5's wishes and let Greed Island disappear completely, Loki had to be dealt with.
If she didn't do this, the tens of thousands of Nen users on Greed Island would all be killed by the V5.
Choice! Cheadle had no choice at all.
She looked coldly at the members of the V5. "As long as the game Greed Island disappears and Loki disappears, then everything will return to normal, right?"
"That's right! As long as you accept this mission, we'll spare the other innocent people."
Cheadle clenched her fists tightly.
She looked at the person sitting at the back, who was holding a photo in his hand. The photo was of Cheadle's friend.
An ordinary person who wasn't even a Nen user was being used to threaten her.
"I understand. I'll find a way."
The V5 were somewhat satisfied with Cheadle's answer, but they said with a smile, "You don't need to find a way. We've already arranged everything for you."
"Last time, we tried to completely destroy Greed Island, but unfortunately, there was a monster who could even withstand a nuclear bomb."
"But it doesn't matter. This time, we have a stronger weapon."
Saying this, the members of the V5 revealed sinister smiles.
Cheadle looked at the images they handed her, and her eyes narrowed sharply.
This weapon wasn't supposed to be fully developed yet! It turned out that the V5 had already completed it.
The things that the world had banned research on, the V5 had secretly been experimenting with and had successfully created them.
After Cheadle left, the security personnel in the conference room also left one after another.
Only the five people who controlled the world's highest power remained.
They looked at each other.
"Nen users are always an unstable element."
"Completely eliminating them is the best solution."
"Even if we're trapped here and can't leave, we don't need anyone disrupting the status quo."
The members of the V5 said with cold expressions.
Cheadle's sudden appearance had simply added another step to their plan.
The final result wouldn't change in the slightest.
Loki! He had withstood the attack of a nuclear bomb.
This made the members of the V5 very worried and fearful. A person who couldn't be dealt with by weapons like nuclear bombs was truly disrupting the world's existing order.
He was building a new world.
If the upper limit of Nen users was so high, then for the V5, even if they had to completely eliminate all Nen users, they would never allow such an existence.
Eliminating all potential threats and stabilizing their position was of utmost importance.
After Cheadle left, Botobai, who had accompanied her, saw that her face wasn't good. He asked Cheadle what had happened in the conference room.
Cheadle didn't hide anything and frankly told Botobai what had happened.
However, Botobai didn't understand. "Why does the V5 hate the Chairman so much? Is it because the Chairman killed those hundreds of thousands of soldiers?"
Originally, Cheadle had also thought that the V5 would be very angry because Loki had killed so many people.
But the reality was very different from what she had imagined.
The deaths of ordinary soldiers hadn't had any impact on the V5 at all.
What they feared was Loki's monstrous power and his age.
Looking at Loki's current age, he could still live for another hundred years.
Nen users generally had longer lifespans.
So, during that long period of a hundred years, they couldn't guarantee that Loki wouldn't pull them down from their current positions one day.
The world would become Loki's world.
Their power would disappear, and their thrones would be overthrown by Loki.
Excessive power, without any way to control it, caused fear.
That was the situation.
The former Netero had been the same.
But when Netero had reached Loki's level, he was already too old.
And at that time, Netero's goal was the Dark Continent.
A dangerous Dark Continent needed a strong person like Netero.
But Loki didn't seem to be interested in the Dark Continent, and with his powerful power and such a young age, it was inevitable that the V5 would think he had other plans.
"Strength and age are the reasons why the V5 fears the Chairman the most."
Saying this, Cheadle felt very helpless.
Loki had no attachments. He only cared about the things he was interested in and could freely pursue what he wanted.
But others couldn't.
Everyone had their own attachments in the world.
They used these to blackmail them.
Cheadle didn't want to see her friend die just like that.
Compared to her friendship with Loki, her friendship with her friend was much deeper.
Was there even a question about how to choose?
On the other side, on Greed Island, a storm was brewing.
The sixth Dragon Ball was successfully cleared by Beyond while most players were focused on learning the Six Styles.
Now, only the last, seventh Dragon Ball was left.
Once Beyond obtained the last Dragon Ball, then he would have cleared the game.
The players were starting to get anxious. Confronting Beyond head-on and trying to steal the item would probably be suicide, and no one wanted to be cannon fodder.
So the best way to stop Beyond was to obtain the seventh Dragon Ball and prevent him from clearing the game.
Soon, aside from Beyond, the largest player organizations in the game had come together.
Even Morel participated on behalf of the Hunter Alliance.
This was a large-scale gathering of players.
However, it was also the beginning of a nightmare.
Although Loki was paying attention to the reactions of the players on the island, he wasn't too concerned.
He was busy dealing with the matters of the Kakin Empire princes.
Currently, the event that had the best chance of attracting all the Kakin Empire princes was the clearing of the seventh Dragon Ball.
But this event wasn't originally led by Loki.
So Loki had to modify the game event.
He had to take the lead in the seventh Dragon Ball event so that he could take action to eliminate the Kakin Empire princes and complete the S-class mission.
