But it was obvious that magical beasts couldn't appear in the city...
"Nen ability?"
Franklin took a deep breath.
The area of surveillance even covered the sky.
This place was also not far from the headquarters of the Hunter Association...
"Are you Kumubo that Mondale mentioned?" In the distance, a mafia boss who was smoking a cigarette waved at him.
"I am."
Franklin nodded, and withdrew his attention.
"Follow me!" The former flicked away the cigarette butt, and said indifferently.
Franklin followed the other party into the building. After walking inside, Franklin's pupils shrank slightly.
The entire interior of the building was empty... There were no doctors or nurses. On every floor, there were mafia teams patrolling, and the leaders were also Nen users.
"The number of Nen users raised by the Phyllis Family is limited... There shouldn't be this many. Where did they come from?" Franklin thought to himself.
Even when taking the elevator, he needed to show his identity, and there were people guarding it.
According to Chrollo's instructions, in addition to establishing a good relationship with Oboro and gaining his trust... It was also very necessary to find out the internal structure of this building.
This way, once their Troupe took action, they could break in in the fastest time, and cooperate with him to capture Oboro.
The two entered the elevator one after the other, and the elevator doors closed.
The mafia boss glanced at Franklin, and reminded him, "Your task is to protect the adult up close. You'll be working in shifts in the ward 24 hours a day. You're forbidden from letting any suspicious guys get close, and you need to detect any possible dangers... Remember, your life isn't worth anything. Protecting the adult is always the first priority! For a newcomer like you, this is a rare opportunity to climb up the ladder. I don't know how many people are jealous in secret... If you mess it up, or make that adult unhappy..."
"I understand."
Franklin responded.
Sure enough, after arriving here, there was no need to pretend and hide. They no longer referred to him as an 'important client', but directly stated that he was an 'adult'.
However...
"Do I have to stay in the ward all the time? Shouldn't it be more appropriate to guard outside the door? Won't this infringe on that adult's privacy?" Franklin said steadily.
"Don't ask questions... Just do as you're told."
The boss's voice turned cold.
"Okay."
After a while, the elevator doors opened, and the two walked out.
Franklin looked at the elevator display screen, 21st floor.
After going out, they turned a few times, and finally arrived at their destination, outside Oboro's ward.
The internal construction of the entire 21st floor had obviously been modified... It was completely a large flat floor. There were gates erected in the corridor, and there weren't many people moving around. But without exception, they were all Nen users.
The boss knocked on the door. After hearing a voice, he led Franklin in.
"Adult... The bodyguard that the family arranged for you has arrived."
After saying this, the boss stepped aside.
Franklin stepped forward with a calm expression, and bowed to the man sitting on the bed, "Adult!"
He's so weak... He's not even as good as an ordinary person.
So he was the one who killed Phinks...
He was injured to this extent...
Franklin was calculating in his heart, without showing any signs after seeing Oboro.
He could easily kill this real 'Ten Don' now. The problem was... Besides him, there were three powerful experts in the room.
They weren't ordinary people!
His ability should be able to cross the three people, and directly shoot the target to death... But it would be difficult to handle the aftermath. He should still listen to the leader's arrangements first.
His mental quality was excellent...
Oboro smiled...
Franklin... The man's micro-expressions and eyes showed almost no flaws.
Within the Troupe, Franklin was like an older brother, giving people a very reliable feeling. He was cautious in his words and actions. Compared to other impulsive members, such as Phinks, Feitan, Nobunaga, and Uvogin, he had a bit of a feeling of being a 'stabilizing force'.
He was also a person who firmly supported Chrollo's ideas and decisions.
Owl, Worm, and Porcupine were also looking at this new face...
Without Oboro instructing, the small boss automatically withdrew.
Only Oboro and the other four were left in the ward.
Phyllis Lily had already set off and returned to the Republic of Padokea.
"Kumubo, is it?" Franklin had been bowing, and it was only after a long time that he heard Oboro's question.
He didn't get up, and remained respectful.
"Yes."
"From Meteor City?"
"Yes."
Meteor City was a good place, because the outside world couldn't find out any background or information...
"Introduce yourselves." Oboro told him to get up, and instructed.
Franklin straightened his back. Because of his burly build and height, he was looking down at Owl, who was approaching.
"Shadow Beasts, Owl."
Owl held out his hand, shook hands with Franklin, and introduced himself.
Then, he pointed at Worm and Porcupine, and stated their identities.
However, Worm's gaze was filled with disdain, and Porcupine simply didn't care.
"They're just like that. Don't take it to heart."
Owl laughed.
On the scene, only he and Oboro knew Franklin's true identity.
Before coming, the other Ten Dons had only received the news that the Phyllis Family had found traces of the Troupe's activities, and was preparing to take action. As for the specifics, they had to wait for Oboro's arrangements.
Franklin nodded. Then, he sat down on a bench, and remained motionless.
He looked very dutiful...
Oboro also appeared very calm, and continued to read the book.
Shadow Beastss...
The leader seemed to have said that they were the Ten Dons' 'private armed forces', and were always very mysterious to the outside world... Because the people who had seen them were all dead.
This was very similar to their Troupe.
It was also whom Chrollo thought was the only one who might cause them a bit of trouble.
"So... The person next to that old man David is also an Shadow Beasts..." Franklin didn't look to the side, but used the corner of his eye to scrutinize the three people in the room... The leader had mentioned before that the Shadow Beastss belonging to the Phyllis Family would be in the hospital.
If the Shadow Beastss of the Phyllis Family hadn't come over... It would mean that there might be other Shadow Beasts members in the hospital. After all, the Ten Dons were interconnected.
But Chrollo and Franklin had both thought that there would only be one or two Shadow Beasts members...
They hadn't expected there to be so many!
"Five in total, including the one flying in the sky, and the three in the room! Half of the Shadow Beastss have been dispatched, just to protect him? Who is this kind of defensive manpower guarding against? Us? Or are there other dangers that we don't know about?"
"Has he... Noticed our existence?"
Franklin's heart tightened, "I have to find a way to notify the leader, the sooner the better!"
The problem now was how to get away.
However, just as Franklin was thinking about what excuse to use, Oboro, who was on the bed, seemed to have a telepathic link, and suddenly called out, "Kumubo... Go to the restaurant, and get me something to eat."
"Yes."
Franklin stood up, and turned to leave.
After a while, after leaving the ward, and confirming that there was no one around and that he wasn't being monitored, Franklin called Chrollo.
Di di...
But the phone was constantly busy, and no one was answering.
He also contacted Feitan, but he didn't answer either.
Just as he was preparing to notify Shalnark, suddenly, he heard footsteps coming from behind.
Franklin immediately put away his phone.
"What are you doing?"
He turned his head, and found that it was Owl.
The man was looking at him with a smiling face.
"I'm looking for the restaurant..."
"The restaurant isn't here. It's downstairs, on the 20th floor."
Owl tapped the ground with his finger, put his hand in his pocket, and stepped forward, patting Franklin on the back, "Don't be nervous, newcomer. Relax a little... Get familiar with the environment slowly. If there's anything you don't know, you can ask."
"Hmm."
Franklin nodded.
"Come on, I'll take you."
Owl showed a spirit of helpfulness, and led the way.
A few minutes later, Franklin returned to the ward carrying refreshments that the chef had just made, and personally presented them to Oboro.
