Driven by a thirst for power, Oboro also admits to his selfishness... but he might find it hard to accept someone like Netero.

They care about all of humanity…

If Oboro knew about Netero's previous conversations and assessments of him with Bisky... it would mean that the two of them had not misjudged him.

And it wasn't just Oboro who bore this selfishness.

Although the forms they exhibit are different, they are all the same.

They... are the same kind of people.

……

Outside the hospital building, Nitero walked to the car door, looked back at the high-rise ward window, and sighed.

Wasn't I the same way when I was young...?

90. The Disassembled Trio

Regarding Alluka, the Zoldycks still need to make some preparations, so Oboro doesn't need to set off for the time being.

Besides, his situation isn't finished yet...

……

The Fils family's residence and palace.

Apart from the guards who had already gone to the hospital to protect Oboro, all the other Nen users were summoned.

In the hall, Kuroro, Feitan, and Franklin, all dressed in suits, stood among a row of gang members. They were now the gang's henchmen, the Fils family's 'cleaning tools'.

Those present are among the best of the best when they reach this position; they have undergone numerous trials and made considerable efforts. Naturally, the Fils family has provided them with very generous treatment and salaries.

Most importantly, by attaching themselves to the Ten Elders' family, their future prospects are bright.

This is just someone else's opinion.

In the eyes of Kuroro and his two companions, every living thing breathing in this room was trash.

The three of them alone could easily take them down.

Including... Captain of the Guard, Mondel.

"Master, everyone is here."

At this moment, David was sitting on the leather sofa in front of Kuroro, legs crossed, smoking a cigar.

Mondel, standing to the side, said respectfully.

On the surface, David is the head of the Fils family and also the Tenth Elder.

David was chosen by Oboro, who relayed the situation to the other ten elders after the incident, so David's rise to power was a natural progression.

Unlike when Oboro was in power, David was now standing next to a deformed man with exposed breasts and only wearing a pair of shorts. He had a large belly, a fleshy bump on his forehead, and skin that was a deep purple color that was not normal for humans.

Even its pupils are green…

This person was one of the finished products of the project that the Ten Elders came into contact with V5, and also a member of the Yin Beasts in later generations, the Earthworm.

Besides him, the other nine Yin Beasts also appeared...

The 'biological project' that the Ten Elders were in contact with V5 about made progress several months ago, producing what was considered a 'perfect' experimental subject. The ten Shadow Beasts experienced very few side effects after being injected with the drug, especially Owl.

At the same time, their own flesh and blood and vitality are extremely strong. Relying on this, as well as the effect of genes, their speed of awakening their thoughts is extraordinary, and their combat power is amazing!

However, when the Ten Elders happily informed Rodman, the project leader of v5, Rodman expressed disappointment and even resentment... Ultimately, the experiment had to be terminated, and the base was shut down.

Because the investment was too large and success seemed a long way off, Rodman had to put his hopes for promotion elsewhere.

The ten old men themselves didn't want to throw good money after bad, with no chance of it ever coming back.

Therefore, the seemingly grand 'cooperation' in the early stages ended abruptly.

Fortunately... the appearance of the Shadow Beast mitigated some of the gang's losses.

During this period, the Yin Beasts began to operate in the underground society, acting on the orders of the Ten Elders, thus consolidating the status and authority of the ten underground emperors.

Some major events require the combined forces of the Yin Beasts to be mobilized.

This was also the first time that Kuroro and his two companions had ever seen a Shadow Beast.

Clearly, the Shadow Beasts do not belong to the guard team; the former seem to hold a more transcendent status…

Feitan flexed his knuckles behind his back, producing a soft cracking sound.

He was the member of the Phantom Troupe who most wanted to kill Oboro.

Because Phinks and he grew up together... the two were also a team during the Phantom Troupe's operations.

Feitan could sense that the only person who posed any threat to him at the scene was the deformed man next to David, who was constantly scanning them with a terrifying gaze.

"How's the matter with the Yang Ni family going?"

David's face was indifferent.

“It’s all been taken care of… Their family business has been handed over to Steven to manage,” Mondel continued.

"very good…"

David nodded.

"Next up is Sandy..."

"Ah."

Yangni and Sandy are two medium-sized families in the jurisdiction. Not only did they fail to pay their dues on time, they also disrupted the market in their respective industries. Naturally, they need to be taught a lesson.

As one of the Ten Elders, the Fils family's will is absolute and cannot be disobeyed.

"Those three are the ones who just got promoted, right... I've seen them before." David flicked the ash from his cigar into the ashtray and said casually.

He was referring to Kuroro and the other two.

"Correct."

Mondel looked at the three of them and said, "They have great potential and are quite capable. They can be given special attention and training."

They were called upon... Kuroro and the other two immediately stepped forward and walked out of the queue.

Kuroro bowed ninety degrees to David and said, "It is our honor to be valued by the head of the family!"

His voice was steady and powerful, neither arrogant nor humble, and carried a gentle and mild tone.

However, Kuroro, with his head down, had calm and unwavering eyes, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever.

"Ah."

David seemed quite satisfied with his attitude and said, "Mundell has already told you, hasn't he? Currently, one of our important clients, the Fils family, is recuperating in a hospital and, due to certain circumstances, requires special protection... We also need to mobilize some manpower for the Sandy family's affairs. I value talent, and as long as you are willing to work loyally, you will not be shortchanged in terms of material rewards or future prospects."

"Yes!"

Kuroro stood up and responded.

"So... out of the three of you, who is willing to...?"

David was only halfway through his sentence.

Captain Mondel suddenly said, "Let's go with Kunbo. He has an Emission type ability... which can create powerful suppression against the enemy and buy time in critical moments."

Kumbh is Franklin's pseudonym.

Kuroro's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly, but he quickly recovered.

David's gaze fell on Franklin, who had extremely long earrings and a burly build.

"Since it's Mondel's recommendation, then it'll be you..."

"Yes."

Franklin glanced at the commander Kuroro and accepted the order.

“Besides the Sandy family, there’s another small family that seems to have just risen to prominence and doesn’t quite understand the rules… Let them change their leader.” After making the arrangements, David got up and left, with the Shadow Beast Earthworm following closely behind, its gaze lingering on Kuroro and the other two.

"You walk slowly."

Led by Mondel, a group of Nen users bowed in unison to bid farewell to their patriarch.

“You all heard what the patriarch said: Sandy and that small family, deal with them as soon as possible.”

Afterwards, Mondel looked at his members and instructed, "Split up... Sean, you guys come with me, the rest of you form another team and go to that small family..."

With Mondstadt

With a gesture of his fingers, Chrollo and Feitan were separated and assigned to two different groups.

Sean is Kuroro's alias.

Kuroro's expression remained unchanged as he observed Mondel's facial expressions and the messages conveyed through his eyes.

My mind was replaying David's body language, including the tone of every single word.

The so-called important clients are actually the real behind-the-scenes controllers of the Fils family.

胧!

If David had directly named Franklin, Kuroro would have felt something was off... because as a high-ranking figure, David knew nothing about their situation, or rather, he had no interest in understanding their abilities, and this job was extremely important, allowing no room for carelessness.

Choosing Franklin directly... is unreasonable.

But initially, the old man clearly wanted them to volunteer themselves, and it was Mondel, who knew their methods and situation better, who gave the suggestion.

The analysis of Franklin's abilities and their usefulness is also quite appropriate.

That's true...

Normally, Mondel wouldn't interrupt, but at this crucial moment, he spoke first... clearly indicating that he knew the seriousness of the matter, and... David didn't show any dissatisfaction or anger, and readily agreed.

No suspicious points...

None of the guards who went to the hospital have returned... Paknotan and the others dared not reveal themselves easily, so the Phantom Troupe knew nothing about Oboro's current condition, the extent of her injuries, or how well she was recovering.

The only people they can contact are David and Mondel, but they can't take action against them now... it's not the right time.

In a fleeting instant, Kuroro's mind raced with various thoughts and deductions...

As per usual practice, as the brain of the spider, he is always accompanied by two people, no matter where he is.
