Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 328 Scheme X Prophecy
Meteor City has a population of nearly ten million and a land area of ​​about 6000 square kilometers, making it comparable in size to a small republic.

From a purely military perspective, Meteor City does indeed possess a well-equipped force, barely meeting the military strength of a nation.

However, it lacks effective means of air defense.

This means that as long as Morro and Chimera can maintain control of the airspace, they can gradually destroy Meteor City.

Of course, Moro wouldn't go that far.

Today's bombing is enough to intimidate Meteor City, making them behave like rats in a sewer.

If they still don't learn their lesson, then next time we'll just raze the central street of Meteor City to the ground.

"As long as the people of Meteor City have any brains, they should keep a low profile from today onwards."

Moro sat cross-legged on the back of the chimera, his body covered only by a thin layer of wrapping.

This bombing of Meteor City nearly exhausted his potential.

"However, we cannot rule out the possibility that they will continue to make foolish mistakes and carry out that nonsensical 'ideology'."

At this point, Moro suddenly looked up at Kurapika's profile and said, "If another attack on you happens, we'll just have to go through more trouble and come back a few more times."

Kurapika's expression shifted slightly as he recalled the scene from earlier, his feelings a complex and unreadable mix.

"Ah."

He met Moro's gaze and slowly nodded.

If the chains of hatred can be broken at this moment, it might be the best outcome.

Right now, all he wants is to find the eyes of all his people so they can rest in peace; he has no time to deal with the troubles of Meteor City.

However, without Moro's intervention, he would indeed be helpless in the face of Meteor City's relentless and vengeful actions.

Moro patted the chimera's back twice, signaling it to slow down.

Chimera immediately understood and gradually reduced its flight speed.

As the speed decreased, the whistling wind gradually subsided.

Looking at the endless sea of ​​clouds in the distance, Moro stopped talking about Meteor City and said, "We have now recovered seventeen pairs of eyes. The remaining ones are the three pairs that are still missing, as well as the ones that Kakin has."

Kurapika sat cross-legged, mimicking Moro's posture, his eyes lowered, and said calmly, "I've already posted a request for clues and a large reward on the Hunter website. I hope there will be progress."

"There will be."

Moro's voice was soft, yet firm: "Those guys who are interested in organ collecting all have a penchant for showing off their collections; sooner or later we'll hear from them."

Kurapika doesn't have the same extensive experience in the antiques industry as Morrow, nor does he have the same experience of interacting with many collectors, but he always has unwavering faith in Morrow's judgment.

Moro glanced at Kurapika.

In his view, the real obstacle to regaining the Scarlet Eyes was always the fourth prince of Kakin, Celidonesh.

As for the eyes in the hands of others, it's only a matter of time before they're taken back.

If we use Hunter Rank to assess difficulty, things that can be solved with money, like obtaining access to Greed Island, are simply the easiest G-rank.

In comparison, reclaiming the Red Eyes from Celidonish would likely be a challenge of at least B rank.

The most troublesome aspect remains the unpredictable reaction of the Bi Yangde forces.

Moro is a time traveler who sees Beyond from a god-like perspective, and may even understand Beyond's terrifying nature better than Netero does.

This man, in order to challenge the Dark Continent once again in perfect form, did not hesitate to endure decades of meticulous planning.

Many years ago, Byand secretly planted his illegitimate son into the bloodline of the Kakin royal family through a cunning scheme.

This far-sighted plan was precisely to seize the vast national power of the Kingdom of Kakin, so that the entire nation could use its strength to conquer that forbidden dark continent.

Morrow believed that a strongman like Byrd, who had managed to operate with such patience until now, would never allow anyone to obstruct his plans before they were implemented.

Therefore, if we were to take action against Celidonich, we might not only face the wrath of the Kakin Kingdom, but also incur retaliation from Byand.

"I wonder how things are going with Melina..."

Moro's eyes showed a thoughtful expression.

To obtain the Crimson Eye from Celidone while avoiding potential risks, the only effective method he could think of was to utilize Melena's abilities.

Last time in Youkexin, he helped Molina eliminate two important members of the Aiyi family.

This would weaken the power of the current patriarch of the Ai family, thus reducing the resistance to Morina's attempt to seize the patriarch's position.

However, after parting ways with Youkexin, he set off to help Jin eliminate the thoughts of death, and then began a year of cultivation. Now, it has been almost two years since he paid attention to the progress of Morina's side.

"I wonder if the Youkexin auction will still feature a pair of Red Eyes."

Morrow recalls that a pair of fiery red-eyed items will appear at the Yorkshire auction this year.

However, Kurapika has retrieved so many Scarlet Eyes based on intelligence leads during this period, so it's possible that they might include the pair that was originally supposed to appear at the auction.

No one can say for sure what that possibility is.

"Let's go see Melina before September."

Moro mentally planned the itinerary.

.....................

Time flies, and it's already early August.

With a month to go before the Yorknew auction in September, major auction houses have already begun building hype.

Southpix auction house has been the first to announce its major auction items for this year.

Among them are seven Greed Island games and a pair of Scarlet Eyes.

When Moro received the message, he was already in an underground clinic within the Kingdom of Kakin.

This clinic, which only caters to gang members, has now become the place where he and Morina meet.

To Morrow's surprise, Melina did not come empty-handed.

She was holding a container in her hands, inside which were a pair of fiery red eyes.

Sitting on the sofa, Moro raised an eyebrow slightly, his gaze sweeping over the crimson eye in Melena's hand before finally settling on Melena's face, which was crisscrossed by a scar.

Meeting Morona's slightly scrutinizing gaze, Melena slowly walked to the opposite side of the sofa and gently placed the container holding the fiery red eyes on the coffee table.

“Strictly speaking, today is our first formal meeting. I think this gift will be just what you’d like.”

After setting down the container, Melina smiled politely and then sat down gracefully, placing her long, slender hands on her knees, exuding elegance in every gesture.

Moro's gaze lingered briefly on those fiery red eyes, his tone calm: "I will acquire it at last year's auction price."

"Ok."

Morona could easily sense Morona's reluctance to owe favors, but she didn't take it to heart, nor did she try to persuade him further. Instead, she readily accepted the offer.

She stretched out her slender, long hand, gently stroking the rim of the container with her index and middle fingers, and began to speak:
“I ‘bought’ this pair of red-eyed eyes from a politician who had just stepped down. He made quite a few demands…” Melina’s smile deepened, but her eyes were filled with hidden emotions. “I tried my best to meet all his demands. Perhaps good deeds are rewarded. Seeing my sincerity, the politician transferred his second pair of red-eyed eyes to me as well.”

"..."

Moro listened silently, his gaze thoughtfully sweeping over the fiery red eyes on the table.

Two pairs...

He vaguely guessed why Melina had only sent him a pair of fiery red eyes.

It seems that this acquisition of Huohongyan was also ordered by Celidonich.

Seeing that Moro showed no reaction, Melina continued softly, "The prince is unaware of this second pair of red eyes, but..."

She paused deliberately, then bent her index and middle fingers and tapped the top of the container lightly.

"I took a considerable risk to get it to you."

The deliberate pause just now was Melina's way of observing Morrow's reaction.

However, after she said that she had taken a considerable risk, the other party remained calm.

However, this reaction was within her expectations.

Moro and Melena locked eyes, their voices calm and undisturbed: "So the other pair of eyes has already been delivered to Celidone, hasn't it? If that's the case, why did you take this unnecessary risk?"

Since the ultimate goal is to seize all the Red Eyes from Celidonich, it makes no difference whether these two Red Eyes are here or with Celidonich.

"Ah."

When Moro pointed this out, Melina chuckled dismissively, gracefully withdrawing her right hand, and said meaningfully, "Has anyone ever told you that you're really clueless about romance?"

"Let's stop with the small talk."

Moro didn't respond to the question and went straight to the point: "I came to see you to confirm whether you have now obtained the position of patriarch of the Ai Yi family."

"I let you down."

Upon hearing this, Melina shook her head with a hint of regret and sighed, "Over the past year, I have planned several assassination attempts, but unfortunately, the clan leader has always been protected by a master, so all the assassination attempts have ended in failure."

"is it?"

Moro neither confirmed nor denied it, but kept staring into Melena's eyes.

Those deep eyes were like still water, never easily revealing any emotion.

Even if emotions surface, they are probably just a perfunctory reaction.

Melina remained calm and smiled slightly:
"Our clan leader will personally attend the Yorknew auction next month. He seems to want to make some kind of deal with the Ten Elders. On the surface, he is attending the underground auction, but in reality, he is using this opportunity to give money. Although the specific details of the deal are unclear, this is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for assassination."

"Oh, so you're going too?"

Moro calmly said, "After all, Nampis has already announced that it will auction off Red Eyes on September 1st. Your prince couldn't possibly be unaware of that, could he?"

"Of course, but this mission to acquire the Crimson Eyes is being handled by our clan leader, and I am accompanying him as a member of the entourage, but..."

Morina looked directly into Morro's eyes and said earnestly:
“I can choose not to go, it depends on your attitude. If you are determined to get the pair of eyes at the auction, then I shouldn’t go. If you intend to give the eyes to the Fourth Prince first, then I can go.”

If Moro insists on acquiring the pair of red-eyed demons at the auction first, then she will have to find a way to avoid it and let her family patriarch deal with the headache.

Conversely, if Moro's focus shifts to eliminating the Fourth Prince's Scarlet Eyes in the end, and he decisively abandons the auction, then...

She had to go to Youkexin with the clan chief.

After all, if she were to become a victim on the spot once the assassination operation began, she could avoid a lot of trouble afterward.

Hearing Morro's words, he raised his hand to his chin, his eyes showing a thoughtful expression.

Including the pair with fiery red eyes in front of us, the only ones still out there are the pair that will appear at the auction and the ones in Celidonich's possession.

In other words, even if Celidonich had bought the pair of red-eyed clowns at the auction, it would have been an acceptable outcome.

but……

To seize all the Crimson Eyes from Cheridone, Melena needs to become the head of the Ai family so that the next step of the plan can be implemented.

So even if you attend the Yorknew auction in September, the final ownership of the Red Eyes is not important.

The key question is whether the assassination plan proposed by Melina will succeed.

"I'm not entirely sure if this was an arrangement you made on purpose, but it doesn't matter..."

Moro suddenly looked directly into Melena's eyes again and said, "I will kill your clan leader, but I need you to be there too."

"Ok."

Melina seemed not to understand Moro's words, nor did she ask Moro what he planned to do. She simply agreed as always.

"With you taking action, I don't need to arrange any assassination. With your strength, it should be foolproof."

She maintained a smile throughout.

Moro suddenly reached out and scooped up the container holding the Scarlet Eyes, saying calmly, "Don't be too happy yet. Since you're going to be there too, you'd better put on a decent show, like getting seriously injured or something. I'll help you then."

Morina paused for a moment, a strange glint flashing in her deep eyes.

"If possible, please let me do it myself."

"You are Welcome."

Moro waved his hand casually.

Melina: "..."

………………

Time passed day by day, and before we knew it, it was the end of August, with only a few days left until the Youkexin Auction.

In the Nosra family mansion, the appearance of several prophetic poems all point to the same ominous sign.

Death and destruction.

The girl, who possessed the ability to automatically take notes like an angel, knew nothing about these prophecies; all she could think about were those fiery red eyes at the auction.

However, those who witnessed the prophecy were unable to remain calm.

The poem mentions one thing.

Death is a force to be reckoned with.
