In these years, very few people have been to the Dark Continent and returned...
Judging from Oboro's background and experience, unless he had direct contact with the high-level officials of the V5, otherwise...
But that was impossible.
Rich martial arts skills, profound Nen ability attainments, and being well-versed in some secrets.
Bisky had suspected before, who Oboro's master was...
These things couldn't be achieved by a single person...
"The Five Great Calamities and their corresponding Five Great Hopes... What you know, I also know."
Oboro's face became lazy, and he deliberately dragged out the end of his sentence, "Even what you don't know... I also know some..."
"..."
Netero.
"What's wrong? Your expression is a little ugly... Are you feeling unwell somewhere?" Oboro asked deliberately.
"..."
"Ah... Are you worried that I'll leak it out? Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut. I'm very clear about what kind of impact these things will have if they're spread... So, I'm just telling you." Oboro smiled.
"These secrets are only blocked from most people. In the Association, besides me, there should be other people who know... Before, you had judged that I joined the Association for you and Linnet, so you had already guessed some things, right..."
"Hoh hoh hoh..."
Abruptly, Netero, who had been wearing a straight face, laughed again. Although he was laughing, his eyes were extremely serious, "You little guy, you really can't let your guard down at all... Even I feel like I can't figure you out anymore. It's scary..."
"I have to keep an eye on you, otherwise... No one can guarantee what you'll do."
"You're not just watching me, right... But you're so old, won't it be too strenuous? Can your spirit keep up?" Oboro smiled.
"Hmm... At least I'm eating well and sleeping well now. It looks like I can live for a few more decades, so you don't have to worry about that..."
Netero said calmly.
"I won't forcefully stop you from going to the Zoldyck Family. It's your decision, and I have no right to interfere... After all, you're also bearing the risk yourself."
"Good luck..."
After saying this, Netero made an okay gesture, showed a row of teeth, and smiled.
Then, he left the room.
Before leaving, he also muttered intentionally or unintentionally, "The younger generation these days are all more difficult to deal with than the last... But that's what makes it interesting..."
After the former left, Oboro, who seemed relaxed, slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
His tense body relaxed.
He knew Netero would come...
This was a test and a game.
An invisible confrontation.
It was about choosing the Five Great Calamities, or choosing the Five Great Hopes...
Netero and the V5 were on the side of fearing the calamities... For fear of causing irreversible consequences to the human world.
But as a transmigrator, Oboro's soul didn't belong to this world, and he didn't have any relatives. He just wanted to become stronger... So, his heart was more inclined to explore hope.
What the calamities threatened was the general public... For people with a certain ability and level, they were just challenges.
He was happy to challenge them!
So, even if the human world collapsed, in Oboro's eyes, it was just a natural process of survival of the fittest.
Outsiders could say that he was ruthless... And that he had no humanity.
Out of a desire for power, Oboro also admitted his selfishness... But people like Netero might not be able to accept it.
They cared about all of humanity...
If Oboro knew what Netero and Bisky had discussed and judged about him before... It would mean that the two hadn't misjudged him.
And it wasn't just Oboro who carried this selfishness.
Beyond, Pariston, Ging Freecss... Although the forms they showed were different, they were all like this.
They... Were the same kind of people.
...
Outside the hospital building, Netero walked to the car door, and looked back at the window of the ward high up, and sighed.
When he was young, wasn't he like this too...
Regarding Alluka, the Zoldyck Family still needed to make some preparations, so Oboro didn't need to leave for the time being.
What's more, the situation on his side hadn't been dealt with yet...
...
The Phyllis Family's residence palace.
In addition to the guard team members who had gone to the hospital to protect Oboro, the remaining Nen users had all been called over.
In the hall, Chrollo, Feitan, and Franklin, who were dressed in suits, were lined up among a group of mafia members. They were now mafia personnel, the Phyllis Family's 'cleaning tools'.
The people present who could reach this position today were all top performers among the Nen ability people. They needed to undergo many tests, and had to put in a lot of effort... Naturally, the treatment and salary given by the Phyllis Family were also very generous.
Most importantly, they had climbed onto the family of the Ten Dons, so their future was bright.
This was just what other people thought.
In the eyes of Chrollo and the other two, all the breathing lives in this room... Were trash.
They could easily kill them with just the three of them.
Including... The guard captain, Mondale.
"Head of the family, everyone's here."
At this time, David was crossing his legs, smoking a cigar, and sitting on a leather sofa in front of Chrollo.
Mondale on the side said respectfully.
On the surface, David was the boss of the Phyllis Family, and was also one of the Ten Dons.
David was the candidate designated by Oboro. After the latter had an accident, he had also relayed the situation to the other Ten Dons. So... David's ascension was a matter of course.
Unlike when Oboro was in power before, David had a deformed man with a bare chest and exposed nipples standing next to him. He was only wearing a pair of underpants, had a big belly, a sarcoma-like bulge on his forehead, and his skin had a deep purple color that wasn't normal for humans.
Even his pupils were green...
This person was one of the project products that the Ten Dons had contacted the V5 about, and was also a member of the Shadow Beasts in the future, Worm.
In addition to him, the other nine Shadow Beasts had also appeared...
The 'biological project' that the Ten Dons were in contact with the V5 had made progress a few months ago, and had produced experimental products that were considered 'perfect'. After being injected with the drug, the side effects on the ten Shadow Beasts were very small, especially on Owl.
At the same time, their own flesh and blood and life force were extremely powerful. Relying on this, and the effects of the genes, the speed at which they awakened Nen was extraordinary, and their combat strength was amazing!
However, when the Ten Dons happily notified the V5's project person, Rod, the other party expressed disappointment, and even resentment... In the end, the experiment had to be terminated, and the base was also closed.
Because the investment was too large... And success was nowhere in sight, Rod could only pin his hopes of 'promotion' elsewhere.
The Ten Dons themselves didn't want to throw good money after bad.
So, the 'cooperation' that seemed so grand in the early stages ended hastily.
Fortunately... The appearance of the Shadow Beasts had recovered some of the losses for the mafia.
During this time, the Shadow Beasts had already begun to do things in the underworld according to the Ten Dons' orders, consolidating the position and prestige of the ten underworld emperors.
Some major events required the Shadow Beasts to combine and act.
This was also the first time that Chrollo and the other two had seen the Shadow Beasts.
Obviously, the Shadow Beasts didn't belong to the guard team. The former seemed to have a more detached position...
Feitan's hand behind his back moved his finger joints, making a slight sound. He was the one in the Troupe who wanted to kill Oboro the most.
Because Phinks had grown up with him since he was a child... The two were also a team in the Troupe's actions.
Feitan could sense that the only one on the scene who could pose a bit of a threat to him was the deformed man next to David, who was constantly scanning them with terrifying eyes.
"How's the matter with the Yangni Family going?"
David's face was cold.
"It's all been taken care of... The business of their family has been transferred to Steven to manage." Mondale answered.
"Very good..."
David nodded.
"Next is Sandy..."
"Hmm."
The Yangni and Sandy families were two medium-sized families in the jurisdiction. Not only had they failed to offer 'grease money' on time, but they had also disrupted the market in their respective industries, so they naturally had to be taught a lesson.
As the Phyllis Family, one of the Ten Dons, their will was absolute, and could not be violated.
"Those three are the ones who just came up, right... I've seen them before." David flicked the ash of his cigar into the ashtray lightly, and said indifferently.
He was referring to Chrollo and the other two.
"Yes."
Mondale looked at the three, "They're very promising, and their strength is also good. They can be cultivated with emphasis."
Having been mentioned... Chrollo and the other two immediately stepped forward, and walked out of the queue.
Chrollo bowed ninety degrees to David, and bowed, "It's our honor to be valued by the head of the family!"
His voice was steady and powerful, neither humble nor arrogant, and also carried a kind of gentle and docile humility.
However, Chrollo, who had his head lowered, had eyes that were calm and unruffled, without any emotional fluctuations.
