He's the one who killed Fink...

It's injured to this extent...

Franklin remained impassive upon seeing Oboro, but was secretly plotting something.

He could easily kill this real 'Ten Elders' now, but the problem is... besides him, there are three other experts with extremely strong auras in the room.

He's no ordinary person!

I should be able to bypass the three of them and shoot the target directly... but the aftermath will be difficult, so I'll listen to the leader's instructions first.

Strong mental fortitude…

Oboro smiled…

Franklin… The man’s micro-expressions and eyes revealed almost no flaws.

Within the Phantom Troupe, Franklin was like an older brother, giving people a very reliable and cautious feeling. Compared to other more unconventional members, such as Phinks, Feitan, Nobunaga, and Uvogin, he had a sense of being a 'pillar of stability'.

He is also a staunch supporter of Kuroro's ideas and decisions.

The owl, the sick dog, and the porcupine were also sizing up this new face…

Without Long giving any instructions, the junior leader withdrew on his own.

Only Long and his four companions remained in the ward.

Philslily has already set off to return to the Republic of Batochia.

"Kunbo, right?" Franklin kept bowing and waited for a long time before he heard Oboro's question.

He did not get up, and his attitude was respectful.

"Yes."

"From Meteor City?"

"Yes."

Meteor City is a good place because there's practically no background information or clues about it outside...

"You two get to know each other," Long told him, gesturing for him to stand up.

Franklin straightened up, and because of his robust physique and height, he was able to look down at the approaching owl.

"The Yin Beast, the Owl."

Owl extended his hand, shook hands with Franklin, and introduced himself.

Then he pointed to the sick dog and the porcupine to identify them.

However, the sick dog's gaze was filled with disdain, while the porcupine didn't care at all.

"That's just their personality, don't take it to heart."

Xiao chuckled.

At the scene, only he and Obo knew Franklin's true identity.

Before they arrived, the other ten elders only received news that the Fels family had found signs of the Brigade's activities and was preparing to take action. The specifics of how to do it would depend on Oboro's arrangements.

Franklin nodded, then sat down on a bench and remained motionless.

He seemed very conscientious and responsible...

Oboro remained calm and continued reading his book.

Shadow Beast…

The leader seemed to have said that they were the Ten Elders' 'private armed forces', and they were always very mysterious to outsiders... because everyone who saw them was dead.

This is similar to their troupe.

This is also the only character that Kuroro believes might cause them some trouble.

"So... that person following old man David is also a Shadow Beast..." Franklin kept his eyes straight ahead, but used the corner of his eye to scrutinize the three people in the room... The leader had mentioned before that Shadow Beasts belonging to the Fils family would be in the hospital.

If Phils

The fact that the family's Yin Beasts didn't come over means there might be other Yin Beast members in the hospital, since the ten elders communicate with each other.

But Kuroro and Franklin both believed that there would only be one or two members of the Shadow Beasts…

I didn't expect there to be so many!

"The one flying in the sky is one too... and there's another one, plus the three in the house, that makes five in total! Half of the Yin Beasts have been mobilized just to protect him? With such a large defensive force... who are they guarding against? Us? Or are there other dangers we don't know about?"

"He... sensed our presence?"

Franklin's heart tightened. "We need to find a way to notify the commander, the sooner the better!"

Now, the question is how to extricate myself.

However, just as Franklin was thinking of an excuse, Oboro, who was on the bed, suddenly called out as if they were telepathically connected: "Kumbo... go to the restaurant and get me some food."

"Yes."

Franklin stood up, turned and left.

After a short while, once he left the ward and made sure there were no other people around or the possibility of him being watched, Franklin called Kuroro.

Beep beep…

But the phone was constantly busy and no one answered.

He tried contacting Feitan again, but the call didn't go through.

Just as they were about to notify the knight, they suddenly heard footsteps behind them.

Franklin Clinton put his phone away.

"what are you doing?"

He turned his head and saw it was Xiao.

The man looked at him with a smile.

"I'm looking for a restaurant..."

"The restaurant isn't here, it's downstairs, on the 20th floor."

Xiao tapped the ground with his finger, put one hand in his pocket, and patted Franklin on the back. "Don't be nervous, newbie. Relax... Take your time to get used to the environment. If there's anything you don't know, you can ask."

"Ah."

Franklin nodded.

"Let's go, I'll take you there."

The owl embodies a helpful spirit, leading the way.

A dozen minutes later, Franklin returned to the ward with freshly prepared tea and snacks from the chef and personally served them to Oboro.

“He wasted a few more minutes, this guy got lost…” Owl said jokingly, pointing at Franklin.

"Feel sorry!"

Franklin immediately bowed his head.

"It's fine…"

Long smiled and looked at the food in front of her. Suddenly, she said to Xiao, "It seems like something is missing... it's juice."

Upon hearing this, Xiao took out a pager from his pocket in front of Franklin and said casually, "Send someone to bring up a glass of juice."

"..."

In that instant, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat strange.

Franklin's unease was amplified invisibly...

Why make yourself make a trip when a simple text message can solve the problem?

Kuroro and Feitan can no longer be contacted...

According to Kuroro's analysis, it was impossible for them to be exposed.

"Are you OK?"

Suddenly, Long said.

Franklin calmly shook his head.

"I won't punish you for such a small thing... You're new here, so you're probably not familiar with things yet. You'll get used to it after a while."

"Thank you, sir."

Franklin's voice was deep and resonant.

He then sat back down in his original seat.

He chose to trust Kuroro's judgment...

His past experience told him that Kuroro's analysis had never been wrong.

Long put down her book and started eating some snacks.

"By the way... have you found any leads on those people?"

At this moment, Oboro suddenly asked Owl a question.

"Nothing yet... We don't know where they came from. It seems like they've been monitoring this place for a while."

Xiao smiled.

Franklin, whose mind had just recovered, heard the sound and his face tightened instantly.

This was the first time he had shown a noticeable change in expression.

"Perhaps it's some force or enemy with whom you have a grudge..."

"Enemies? I've killed too many people to remember who it was... But there's one guy I remember vividly," Oboro said casually.

"Oh?"

Xiao revealed an interested expression.

"He has a spider tattoo on his body, the number is 5... He's quite strong."
