Almost every year, hundreds of children are kidnapped and their whereabouts remain unknown in Meteor City… and a large number of adults die violently. Their organs and human resources are lucrative sources of income, and the crimes are relatively easy to commit. This has made Meteor City a “money bag” for criminals for a period of time, which is very tragic…

This trend also made the Phantom Troupe a direct 'victim'.

Without this, there would be no spiders as we know them today.

The initial members of the troupe had the ambition to tour the world, just like the Moritonio Theatre Company that Oboro had been with a few years ago.

However... the group is just putting on an act; they're just a circus.

Kuroro wants to become a great voice actor... Uvogin wants to become the actor of 'the world's number one villain'.

The events of that year forced the elders of Meteor City to seek help from outsiders, who found a gang, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement.

The management model of Meteor City is actually similar to that of a yakuza, with an organization similar to an 'elders' council'.

Their unique backgrounds, upbringing, and environment make the people of Meteor City relatively more suited to becoming Nen users, providing the 'high-level combat power' needed by the gangs.

The Fils family doesn't have any people from Meteor Street... because they started out in the casino business, so their need for manpower isn't as great as in other industries.

"If you have time... go and take a look..."

Long regained his composure and smiled slightly.

……

Over the next two months, the situation within the country calmed down, and the tensions subsided.

The rapid rise of the Fells family is a rare major event in the gangster world in recent years.

The Fils family also began to act according to the Ten Elders' arrangements, behaving 'well-behaved', which pleased Brown greatly, who felt that Lung was being obedient and had good compliance.

Most importantly, the Fils family has been paying tribute all along!

Brown was very pleased.

They gradually lowered their guard and slowly began to regard him as one of their own.

But in reality, ever since their first meeting with the Ten Elders, the Fels family has been secretly colluding with gangsters from other continents. Although Brown sent some Nen users to monitor them, they couldn't hide it from Oboro and were cleverly fooled.

The surveillance personnel have now been removed.

It is evident that Brown has developed an initial level of trust in Oboro.

As for Oboro, he has always lived a secluded and low-key life... in seclusion.

Prepare for the final step!

At that time, the danger he will face will be the greatest... even... his life will be in danger.

"Master of the house."

The next day, in a pitch-black room, Oboro, emanating spiritual energy, sat cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed.

David's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in."

Long opened her eyes.

"Patriarch, we've made contact with two of the other ten elders. The others feel it's too difficult and risky, and they probably can't do it in a short time. These two are somewhat interested in us and have said they can give us a chance to meet you... As for the consequences, we'll bear them ourselves!"

"Only two... that's enough."

"Go get ready."

A smile appeared on Long's face.

To meet the other ten elders, one must possess a certain level of background and influence, and clearly... the Fels family has that qualification.

For this result... Oboro paid a considerable price.

"Yes."

David turned and left.

"It seems... everything is about to end."

Long slowly stood up.

The stage... will be set up soon.

Even without an audience, we'll put on a spectacular show...

It was worth all the time he wasted.

43. Overture

Half a month later, Oboro returned to the Republic of Padokia from another continent.

Things went more smoothly than expected.

He met two of the ten old men... one of whom was a woman, and the other was an elderly man.

The woman was the one who got along the least with Brown among the ten old men... As for the other old guy, he was very greedy... Once the Fils family's plan succeeded, Oboro would become one of them, and would have to carve out a separate piece of land from the area under their jurisdiction, as well as give up some of his property.

Long naturally agreed... because he didn't care about the gang's rights at all; he just wanted to use the Ten Elders' identity and information.

Furthermore, once he becomes one of the Ten Elders, some decisions made now may not hold true in the future. His power is enough to eliminate Brown now, and he could similarly reshape the power structure among the Ten Elders in the future…

It all depends on whether Oboro is interested or not...

For these two old men, being able to win over one more person to their small group of ten would undoubtedly give them greater influence.

Of course, if the Fels family fails.

These two people will then distance themselves from him and... help Brown eliminate the remnants of the Fils family.

Therefore... everything depends on the success of the Fels family!

The two also revealed some useful information... After a while, the Ten Elders will be in charge of handling a major matter, and Brown will be leaving the territory. The two will do their best to help the Fils family delay the other side and buy some time.

The Fils family headquarters.

Long arrived at the top floor.

Knowing the outcome, Phils Lily, though blind, seemed to sense his joyful mood.

"Shall we begin?"

The woman remained seated in her wheelchair, gazing at the city skyline as usual, her slender fingers touching the glass.

"Hmm...we can begin..."

He responded with a half-smile.

……

Another mess!

The situation within the country, which had just calmed down a few days earlier, has changed again, and in a serious way.

This time it had nothing to do with the Fils family, but with the Gabriel and Badim families... It started as a minor skirmish between underlings of both sides, but it escalated into a conflict between the family executives. Both family leaders made some polite remarks, but it didn't seem to work.

The situation gradually spiraled out of control... escalating into a full-blown brawl.

Even the ten old men were alarmed and personally intervened... Only after all the ringleaders and related personnel were eliminated did the situation finally calm down.

But the conflict didn't last long... another fierce battle broke out between the two major families.

What started as a conflict between low-level henchmen gradually escalated into a brawl between grassroots cadres.

For a time, the situation among the underground forces within the territory was somewhat chaotic, and there was a sense of panic among everyone.

In the palace of the Ten Elders, Brown.

In the office, he smoked a cigar, his whole body enveloped in smoke, his brows furrowed.

Of the eight people under him, the families of Badim and Gabriel had some grudges from their early years, but that was a long time ago. After all, they were in the same circle and had climbed up step by step, so it was impossible to say that there were no frictions.

But those things from back then are long gone.

The fact that the fire at the grassroots level was started indicates that Badim and Gabriel were mismanaging the situation, which greatly displeased Brown.

However, the situation has been brought under control.

That's a good thing.

However, the rise of the Stan and Jose families has made things somewhat strange.

The two families' businesses highly overlapped, creating competition. However, given his earlier warning, the two family leaders kept to themselves... one was a personal grudge, the other was a business, both easy targets.

Brown narrowed his eyes.

He's not some brainless idiot who got to where he is today; he's also well-versed in the ways of the underworld, and he instinctively sensed a 'conspiracy'!

Someone is causing trouble!

To do something like this, one would need a certain understanding of the four families… and be quite familiar with the personalities and methods of their leaders. In other words, the mastermind behind it all is one of his eight subordinates!

Brown picked up a stack of documents. The white paper contained photos and backgrounds of eight family heads, as well as information he had collected. Among them was... Oboro!

"Go and find out what the Fils family has been up to lately... Also, investigate Jose and Stan, the two executives involved with the family..." Brown ordered without even looking up.

"Yes."

The subordinate standing in front of him nodded and left the room.

The area under his jurisdiction had always been peaceful, but things started to go wrong as soon as the Fels family emerged... Originally, Jianlong had been keeping a low profile, and Brown thought that even if the latter had ambitions, he was a pragmatic person worthy of his attention.

His men were all very honest... Not long after Long joined, there were signs of them turning on each other.

All of this made Brown suspicious of Oboro.

But suspicion is just suspicion... evidence is needed.

Although staring at the blurry photo on the paper, Brown's mind told him that this young man was most likely the culprit... but he couldn't directly order the elimination of the Fils family. Gangs had their rules, and besides... there was also the possibility of a misjudgment.

Even if Brown felt his intuition was right...

The problem is... where does a small family like the Fels, a nobody... have the audacity to oppose him?

What's the purpose?

Long should be well aware of his strength... Doing this is tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock, courting death!

The fact that Long was able to lead the Fels family to stand out shows that he has a remarkable mind... This obvious result is something that even an ordinary person could have foreseen.
