"The Fel family has been cultivating Nen ability users all these years, but... Their people haven't poured into the underworld in large numbers. Instead, they've been assigned elsewhere."
Shalnark said, and took out the things he had prepared, a handheld game console, and distributed them to his partners one by one, "Pakunoda and I investigated, and discovered a very popular game recently called Hero Island. Adults and children alike love to play it. To a large extent, it's because the publicity is too good. In this game, you can choose different character heroes, and their abilities are also different... During the process of clearing the game, you'll fight other bosses. It's worth mentioning that these bosses are also so-called heroes, but their faction is different from the character you're controlling."
"After killing the final boss, you'll get a hidden message... Before the boss dies, he'll mention a word, 'Nen'. Of course, ordinary people won't realize it at all... But as Nen ability users, you'll definitely notice it..."
"What's the connection between the two?"
Bonolenov, who was wrapped in bandages, asked curiously.
"This game is real in reality. It's also a property of the Fel family. The behind-the-scenes creator is very likely to be Oboro himself! As for the Nen ability users raised by the Fel family, most of them have been arranged into this game... I've already confirmed this before."
Shalnark smiled, and said to Bonolenov, "I've already helped you clear the game on the game consoles that I gave you. I've saved the game at the moment when the final boss dies... When he says his last words, try to activate your Nen."
Following his reminder, the others did so one after another.
They saw that on the game screen, while the dialogue between the protagonist and the boss was still being displayed, as 'Nen' was used on the game console, suddenly, a string of coordinate numbers seemed to be activated, and burst out from the game console, floating in front of their eyes.
And disappeared after a few seconds.
"These coordinates are the location to enter Hero Island, in a private sea area in the Republic of Padokea. The ownership of this sea also belongs to the Fel family... The entrance is a small base built on the sea."
Shalnark said.
It was a bit magical...
"If you want to get these coordinates, you must have considerable sensitivity to 'Nen'. Otherwise, once the game is over, even if you use Nen to activate it again, you won't be able to obtain the information. Therefore, those who can perceive this must all be people with a high level of Nen... Also, when creating a game character, the player's information will be automatically generated, and will be bound to the game console. You can delete your account and replay, but you won't get the prompt again... In other words, it's one person per machine. The same kind of Nen can't activate other game consoles a second time... The accounts that you each have were all created by me separately. My 'Nen' has already been recorded in them, and can't be used anymore. You must activate them yourselves."
Shalnark talked eloquently, "I guess the intention of doing this is to screen the players' qualities and qualifications."
"Also... Although the Fel family is hiding very well, thanks to Pakunoda's ability... We've discovered some secrets. The Fel family has dealings with the governments of various countries. Oboro's ambition is quite large... Of course, afraid of being noticed by the other party, we didn't attack the target. We just briefly contacted him, and used Pakunoda's female identity."
"So, our plan this time is to destroy this game?"
Feitan frowned.
"No... Hero Island is currently the largest source of income for the Fel family's business... Relying solely on a family's resources, even the position of the Ten Elders, it would be difficult for them to interfere in national-level forces. Therefore, the importance of Hero Island to the Fel family is self-evident... The defense force there must be extremely terrifying, and there might even be tricky powerhouses. We don't understand the real rules of the game yet, so there's no way to break through it... Once we enter it, we might even be restricted."
"Therefore, before taking action against the Fel family, we'll have Nobunaga and Uvogin go to those sea bases, which are the game entrances, to carry out destruction, and divert the Fel family's attention and manpower, while we... Will go to the Fel family's residence, Oboro's palace. In this way, after Oboro receives the news... He must choose between the residence and the game. In addition, with the assassins from the Zoldyck family hindering him from the middle, his threat to us will be greatly reduced."
Shalnark analyzed logically.
"When will we take action?" Feitan asked in a cold voice.
He had wanted to wipe out the Fel family back then, but he had been stopped by Chrollo. After enduring all these years, he didn't want to wait a moment longer.
"Wait until the Hunter Exam is over."
Chrollo said lightly, "First, if Hisoka's identity is exposed, Oboro won't let him leave alive... There also won't be any relationship between the two of them. This can also indirectly show that we haven't returned to his sight, and that the action is safe. Second, Hisoka coming back, and passing the test... Will increase our chances of success. Oboro doesn't know anything about what we're about to do. If there's something wrong with Hisoka, it means that he has actually been paying attention to us all these years, and the action will be canceled directly."
Hearing this, Feitan's forehead revealed blue veins, and the look in his eyes was cold.
But this time, he didn't lose his temper at Chrollo.
After speaking, Chrollo looked at Shalnark, "Are you and Pakunoda sure that you haven't been exposed?"
These core secrets weren't something that ordinary people could know... Which meant that the person Pakunoda had contacted was an absolute core high-ranking member of the Fel family.
"We're 100% sure that we haven't been exposed. That person's name is Cheeko. He used to be following the old man David all the time... How should I put it, whether it's his mind or ability, they're both very poor, and he doesn't have much of a brain. He's a bit stupid. He relies on the background of the Fel family to cause trouble everywhere, and is involved in all kinds of things like eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling... Otherwise, we wouldn't have had the opportunity to contact him. But even such a useless person seems to be deeply valued by David, and has been nominated to become the next head of the Fel family, and is also the successor to the Ten Elders."
"I guess it's Oboro's plan."
Shalnark said.
"It's obviously a puppet..."
Even Machi could taste the flavor, "With the Fel family's foundation, the underworld can't accommodate their size anymore... And the gap between them and the other Ten Elders isn't ordinary either. Are they trying to transfer all their energy to the governments of various countries?"
"But why did they have to choose such a trashy person..."
"This Cheeko has one advantage, and it's also his only advantage, which is loyalty, absolute loyalty to the Fel family... He's an elder who has been with the Fel family since Oboro took over, and is also one of the survivors."
"Now, the Fel family's big plan is placed on Hero Island and the official government, and they don't care much about the underworld... This has also given us an opportunity, and it's a great time to strike! It's on this basis that the leader called everyone over... It's also for this reason that Shalnark and I were able to successfully conduct the investigation."
"No matter how strong a person's ability is, their energy is limited after all... As the behind-the-scenes controller, Oboro has to remotely control all aspects of an entire family, and there will inevitably be loopholes... The Fel family can operate so well. Apart from David, the most important person is also that woman, Fel Lily. But even so, it's impossible to be perfect... As long as they reveal a little flaw, we'll bare our fangs, and inject poison. Even if we can't kill this behemoth, we'll have to deplete its 'vitality'."
Among the Troupe, most of the time, it was Shalnark, this strategist, who explained and spoke on behalf of Chrollo.
Clap clap clap...
Having said this, Shalnark clapped his hands, "Alright, let's not worry about the Fel family for now... Although we might not face Oboro head-on in this action, in order to prevent accidents... I'll still say some information related to him."
"In these past few years, although everyone has been acting separately, Shalnark and I have been looking for various channels to understand Oboro. The last lesson was too heavy... We can't repeat the same mistake."
"Oboro first came into the public eye at the Heavens Arena... Although the Fel family used means to erase the information related to Oboro, I still managed to find it!"
Shalnark smiled brightly, "There are also many people who have contacted him. Back when he was at the Heavens Arena, there were two members of the Hunter Association who were relatively close to him, one was called Wing, and the other was called Biscuit... These two people are both very strong, especially the one called Biscuit. The two sides might have direct contact, so we didn't dare to attack, so as not to be exposed. We could only retreat to second place, and find some other peripheral characters."
"After Oboro reached the 200th floor of the Heavens Arena, there were people who fought him who died in battle, but there were also people who survived... It was also because of his early deeds that the Heavens Arena later changed the rules. How should I put it... His influence on the way subsequent fighters fought and were promoted was very great."
"Including in the early years of the mafia, during the period when the Fel family rose, there were also some old-timers in the underworld who heard or saw some things. There's no wall that doesn't let wind through... Combining the videotapes that I saw, and analyzing them with the leader, let's talk about Oboro's Nen abilities..."
The few members had serious expressions, and listened attentively.
"His Nen ability is called the Treasure Trove of the Infinite Illusionist, Materialization, which is a means of materializing the game into reality, and applying it to himself. Judging from the descriptions of people who had fought Oboro back then, or had watched him fight, he had divided the single materialization into several directions, and had developed it quite wonderfully... Based on the existing information, the leader and I have analyzed the following points: Summoning, skills, hidden and invisible equipment-type buffs... And..."
Time passed little by little. Before they knew it, it was night. Shalnark had deduced and analyzed Oboro's abilities, including his personal combat skills and Nen level, etc., in extremely detailed terms.
After he had finished speaking, it was difficult to hide the shock on the faces of all the members.
"That's right. To sum it up in one sentence, from his personal perspective alone, he's a monster without weaknesses... This is also the reason why he was able to kill Phinks in such a short period of time back then."
Shalnark looked at his partners' reactions, and laughed, "However, he's only one person after all, and he's still different from the Zoldyck family, which has several monsters... Moreover, we're preparing to kill him over a long period of time, so there's no need to rush... There will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
The Zoldyck family had also killed the Troupe's former No. 8.
When the former No. 8 had died, Chrollo had taken the lead in reacting, and had gone to chase Silva, but because of the difference in strength, he was powerless... And could only watch the other party leave freely.
And he wasn't within Silva's mission scope, so... The two sides had ended the matter without resolution.
However, they had both left a deep impression on each other.
In the Troupe's view... Oboro was just one person, while the Zoldyck family was a group, and there was no way to compare.
They had a chance to avenge Oboro.
It was also after that time that the Troupe had business dealings with the Zoldyck family, and Chrollo had contacted Illumi during the action.
For existences that were absolutely impossible to shake, the Troupe's first choice was still to retreat.
But Oboro... Hadn't reached this level yet.
