Becoming the Supreme Will starting from Hunter x Hunter

Even someone like Netero was not immune.

This includes King Freecss, who became entangled with Pariston after the chairman's death.

"Let's consider this... the beginning of integrating into this world."

With these thoughts in mind, Long took the unconscious Charles and left the manor.

Oboro wasn't interested in power... Actually, dealing with one of the Ten Elders would be quite simple, but after listening to Bote's explanation, Oboro understood... The underground power structure is very complex. It's not that once one of the Ten Elders dies, that person is gone... There will always be new leaders emerging, and new Ten Elders appearing... Without becoming one of them, there is always a hidden danger. The structure and framework of the gang are already fixed.

Putting aside everything else, the fact that he's wanted by the gang alone has an impact.

A swarm of flies buzzing around you every day...who wouldn't be annoyed?

Moreover, in the original story, Illumi assassinated the Ten Elders single-handedly, making the mafia seem extremely incompetent... But now it seems that the reality is not as simple as it appears! The underground forces' businesses span several continents and involve all aspects of life... Furthermore, when the Ten Elders were killed by Illumi, their manpower was tied up by the Phantom Troupe, and the Shadow Beasts were also absent... Especially the Shadow Beasts, as the Ten Elders' private armed force, although they were all wiped out by the Spider, it is undeniable that they still possessed considerable skill.

At least for now, if Oboro were to face the entire Yin Beast forces alone, his chances of winning would be virtually zero.

However, dealing with one of the ten old men should not be a problem.

The underworld has its own rules. As long as you rise to the top and have the same power as the Ten Elders, that's enough.

Annoying as it may be, this incident involving the Fels family has also made Oboro realize that the underground forces are quite interesting. These hired Nen users are more well-rounded than those in the Sky Arena... They can be seen as upgraded 'white rabbits', and perhaps I can learn something from them.

Furthermore, once he truly ascends to the position of one of the Ten Elders, he will control more assets, which can fully support his future hunter career. The intelligence and connections within the mafia will also make it easier for him to understand the world.

There are some pieces of information and data that are difficult for ordinary people to know; they are only in the hands of a few.

Another point is v5.

Oboro was also very interested in this government agency, which was similar to the United Nations... but as a hunter, it would be difficult for him to reach that level. The yakuza, however, was a good stepping stone.

Lonely clearly remembers that in the original work, even someone as respected as Netero could only obey orders when receiving a call from a high-ranking V5 official… This was certainly due to the old man's sense of responsibility towards all hunters and his own 'greater good,' but he had no choice…

Admittedly, setting aside the Dark Continent, even within the human world here, the 'symbols of power' are still quite evident.

The more cards you have up your sleeve, the less interference you'll face in the future.

They avoid talking about external factors and just say they're going to wander the world... that's basically just bragging.

To have absolute freedom, you need absolute 'ability'.

Oboro knew very well what kind of world the Hunter x Hunter was...

He then traveled by spaceship to Cork, a bustling metropolis in the Republic of Batokia.

The Fels family's headquarters are not far from the Sky Arena.

He put Charles in a hospital... as long as he's alive, that's enough. Once he wakes up, it won't be long before he understands what happened.

"Should we look for him...?"

On the spaceship, Oboro sat by the window, drinking juice and muttering to himself.

The person he was referring to was Illumi.

Let the Zoldycks take out one of the Ten Elders, so he doesn't have to do it himself.

However, after thinking about it, Oboro gave up on the plan.

Firstly, Illumi must already know and be familiar with Hisoka, since he was the one who introduced them.

Secondly, the price quoted by the ten old men is definitely not low.

Finally...why spend money to hire someone else if you can do it yourself?

Moreover, it's definitely not a good thing that Illumi found out about his plan.

Just as he had analyzed earlier, even if Illumi killed the Ten Elders who controlled the region's power now, it wouldn't matter... He still wouldn't be able to take over. It might even benefit someone else. Gangs value legitimacy and seniority, and only 'insiders' are allowed... The Fils family is only a mid-sized power; it needs time.

Oboro also considered using force or violence to control the gang, but it was unrealistic... The gang members were countless. Even if the Zoldyck family wanted to control the gang, assuming Illumi didn't use his ability, it would take a very long time to completely win everyone's respect... Kill those who disobey, but there's simply not enough time to kill them all... A year? Two years?

Most importantly, it involves many aspects of governance, and the trivial details are too troublesome.

Despite being considered low-class, gangsters often have a strong sense of identity.

Of course, if Illumi uses his ability, then disregard what he said.

Furthermore, the identity of a hunter or Nen user is not prestigious or dignified in the eyes of people like Filsgaru... at most, they are like the Zoldycks, inspiring awe.

But the vast majority can only be seen as assassins or assistants that can be hired or employed.

Long Ke didn't have the time or the inclination to waste on such a place.

Therefore, considering all factors, using his status within the Fils family to quickly rise to power was the best and most effective strategy.

It also saves time.

"Ugh…"

With this thought in mind, Long rubbed his temples.

He sometimes thinks things relatively simply... This applies to both the mindset and the underworld.

"The preconceived notions of time travelers have both advantages and disadvantages... it's not all good."

With a slurp, he bit the straw and drank the juice in the cup clean, then sighed.

……

a few days later.

In Cork, a nearly 100-meter-tall building is heavily guarded, with even the guards at the entrance armed.

The people coming and going were all dressed in suits and had cold, aloof expressions.

through

It exudes an aura that keeps strangers away.

This is the core group and residence of the Fells family.

Above the 50th floor of the group building, the area is closed to the outside world, and a special access card is required to take the elevator.

The top floor of the building, a room of several hundred square meters, was pitch black.

A woman in a white dress sat in a wheelchair, one hand touching the glass, her eyes glazed over as she gazed at the bustling city lights at night.

She bears a striking resemblance to Filsgaru and is only in her early twenties.

She is Philsgaru's only younger sister, Philslily.

Long stood a few meters behind the woman, sizing her up.

The woman was completely unaware.

“Paralysis of the lower body, plus blindness in both eyes…” Long noticed something was wrong.

Bote had previously mentioned Philsgaru's sister to him.

He made the sound of footsteps.

"Is anyone there?"

The sudden commotion did not startle Lily; she simply turned her head slightly and asked calmly.

Her brown eyes were devoid of any spirit or luster.

"Filsgaru is dead..."

"Long said in a low voice."

"..."

There was a moment of silence.

"I know," the woman said softly, without showing any grief or emotion.

Long raised an eyebrow. He was a stranger who had suddenly appeared, yet this woman was surprisingly calm... The buildings above the 50th floor were exclusively for the Phils family and were their residential area.

He was clearly yet another intruder…

"Are you here to kill me?"

The woman's next words surprised Long.

"No."

Long smiled.

"Did you kill him?"

"Yes."

He responded calmly.

The woman didn't ask why, nor did she cry for help or scream; she simply remained silent for a while.

"what are you up to?"

"I want to become the new head of the Fils family..."

"What if I don't agree?"

Lily turned her head back and continued to 'look' at the scenery outside the window.

"I'll think of another way, but the consequences could be quite serious," Oboro said slowly.

"The previous head of the Phils family, your father... passed away just a few years ago, right? Your Phils family started out in the gambling industry... This business is very lucrative, and there are quite a few people eyeing it openly and secretly... Your father's death, and your injury, are also because someone wanted to take away your family's share of the pie."

“Your brother did a good job. Although some of his assets were divided up, he managed to stabilize the situation in a few years... but it's not as good as before! Whether you agree or not, I'm prepared to purge some of the higher-ups in your Fils family. If word gets out that your brother died, can you and the butler possibly stop those hungry wolves outside?”

Long walked to her side and stood by the window as well.

"You...you're not from the mafia, are you...?"

The woman listened quietly, then spoke, her tone carrying a hint of certainty.

"No."

He narrowed his eyes slightly... This woman is much smarter than her brother, Philsgaru!

"hazy."

Suddenly, the woman called out his name: "You're the one who won money from our casino."

Oboro wasn't surprised, after all, Philsgaru went to Tandon to see him.

However, looking at it now... Long thinks that although Felsgaru is the head of the family, the real mastermind behind the scenes is very likely this unremarkable and disabled woman in front of him.
