"..."
The atmosphere in the cabin was somewhat awkward.
Since Bisky and Morel ignored Pariston's intentions, they began to discuss Oboro's mission.
The other hunters exchanged glances and remained silent.
Only Pariston remained unmoved, sitting high in the air, a gentle breeze flowing in through the window ruffling his blond hair.
He gazed down at the distant land, at the mountains and rivers of East Godot, with an appreciative eye…
……
The spacecraft is traveling at full speed.
A few days later, they finally returned to the association headquarters.
Long was also taken to the hospital immediately.
Upon hearing the news, the Fels family arrived and immediately dispatched personnel to strengthen protection for Oboro.
David the butler and Phils Lily also came... to stay in Oboro's hospital room.
Time passed slowly, but Oboro showed no signs of waking up. The only good news was that the data from all the instruments were improving.
During this time, the association also sent people to visit and provide medical treatment. Netero also showed up, but did not stay long... He did have a brief exchange with Phils Lily.
What the two discussed remains unknown to outsiders.
A month later, the tubes were removed from Long's body, but she still looked very thin and her limbs were withered... She lay quietly on the bed with her eyes closed.
The weather was nice today, and the window of the private ward was slightly ajar, letting in a little warm air.
Only the butler and Lily were in the room…
Outside the door stood a large group of Mafia members in suits.
"So... his dream was to become a hunter." Phils Lily, in her wheelchair, grasped Oboro's hand.
said softly.
She couldn't see, but she could still feel touch. Her skin felt no different from that of an elderly person in their twilight years.
"Don't worry, Miss. The head of the family is in stable condition. The association has also said that he can recover through training after waking up," David, who was standing to the side, comforted her.
"We went to so much trouble to find help for him, but it was completely ineffective..."
Lily sighed.
This was the first time she had physical contact with Oboro...
"We have already spent a lot of money to hire powerful Nen users and hunters, as well as some professionals in the field. We believe that this kind of thing will not happen again."
"You saw those people, didn't you?"
Lily gently placed Oboro's arm back into the bedding.
"Ah."
David nodded, understanding that the young lady was referring to the Hunter Association.
“They are from a completely different world from our gang… Their voices, their scents, are all very distinctive. People like them are hard to be tempted by worldly money or fame… Even with the status of the Ten Elders, our Fils family would probably find it difficult to gather such a powerful group of people.”
The woman raised her hand, feeling the gentle breeze. "There's so little we can do to help him..."
"..."
David choked up.
The main reason is that Oboro is very strong. The teammates he wants, even if they are not as good as him, should at least be at a certain baseline... rather than ordinary Nen users or third-rate hunters who are easy to find.
"Not enough...not nearly enough..."
Lily suddenly said.
"Ok?"
David was taken aback.
“Our family’s power must be strengthened… The Fils family is what it is today because of him. Otherwise… as a mid-sized power, let alone becoming a major family, we would be lucky to survive.”
Phils Lily knew her brother all too well... In the underworld, brute force alone would never get you anywhere.
Even if they don't provoke Oboro... they will be swallowed up by other groups sooner or later.
The consequences will be far worse than they are now…
The gambling industry is a huge pie.
Many people are envious.
Putting yourself in her shoes, Oboro actually saved her and David.
She never hated him for killing Filsgaru.
Compared to others, she doesn't think she's particularly smart; it's just that without a pair of 'eyes,' she sees and thinks more clearly.
"Yes."
David agreed.
He sensed the young lady's feelings...
Not enough... I mean, the current status and resources of the ten elders are not enough!
The Fells family wants more…
David looked at Philles Lily, the woman he had watched grow up... The Philles family's ability to establish itself in the underworld owed much to her. From beginning to end, the young lady had no ambition for power; her advice was solely out of kinship and because of the Philles surname.
But for the first time, the old man saw a completely unfamiliar side of the young lady.
A competitive spirit... gave rise to desires and ambitions.
It all started because of the man lying in bed...
……
Long was very tired... He felt like he had a very long dream, a dream that was pitch black and had no content or images.
I can't remember anything...
However, in his dream, he could sense the existence of 'self-awareness'.
My mind was constantly in a state of exhaustion.
It's like I can't sleep soundly...
After an unknown amount of time, Oboro regained consciousness... the blurry illusion and haze faded away, and she regained awareness of her real limbs.
After his eyelids twitched for a while, he opened his eyes.
woke up.
What I noticed first wasn't the scenery in my field of vision...
Instead, it was excruciating pain and weakness…
His head could move, but the speed and strength of his mental transmission were quite slow and weak.
His brain sent a signal to get up... but his body gave no 'response' whatsoever.
"Power... I've lost my power..."
In a daze, I vaguely understood.
In his mind, the scene of fighting the old man from the Botswana tribe when he was still conscious began to flash. He seemed to have been punched through the chest cavity by the old man and then thrown away... He couldn't remember what happened after that.
Now it seems... I've been saved?
"The association?" Oboro murmured softly.
Suddenly, he heard a sobbing and crying sound.
He turned his neck and saw a woman crying, tears streaming down her face…
"You...are awake."
The woman was laughing, and she was crying at the same time.
Who is she?
Long's eyes froze.
Phils Lily… that’s right, it’s her.
"No need to answer me, just get some rest."
The woman wiped away her tears and gently comforted her.
Long blinked and stared blankly at the snow-white ceiling.
strength…
Have I... lost my power?
……
87. Rebirth from the Ashes
"You brought this situation on yourself!"
"The most dangerous thing about rituals is the rules. Once you get involved, you have to abide by them... What's more, the ritual was initiated by the Botswana people, so the rules will inevitably favor them. With your team's current configuration, rushing into the mission will only increase the difficulty!"
The next day, Bisky's playful yet serious voice came from the ward.
She put one hand on her hip, pointed at Long with the other, and scolded her.
What seemed like an accusation was actually filled with concern in every word.
Meanwhile, Yun Gu, as a friend, also rushed over to inquire about Long's condition.
"Master."
Yun Gu leaned against the wall, pushed up his glasses, and let out a soft sigh.
The mission is over... Oboro is in a bad state right now, so there's no point in saying anything more.
