The old man breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
The astute Philles Lily understood immediately, "You want to be a hands-off manager and stay behind the scenes?"
"Are you really willing to give that up? At least on the surface, becoming one of the Ten Elders would mean enjoying the status and resources..."
“I’m not very interested in that stuff… There’s no difference between David and me. I’ve only stayed in the gang for so long because of some other reasons… The time it’s been dragging on has exceeded my budget,” Long said bluntly.
The objective has been achieved.
“Indeed… even now, if we don’t know you well, you don’t seem like a gangster… which is in line with your style.”
Lily nodded gently.
"That's what we'll do. I've made up my mind."
Long clapped his hands.
"Even the 'Ten Old Men' couldn't hold you back. May I ask what you're going to do?"
Lily blinked her eyelashes, looking somewhat curious.
Although they had known each other for a while... neither she nor David actually knew much about Oboro's background or identity.
All I know is that he went to a place called Sky Arena.
Oboro rarely talks about himself.
"What are you going to do there..."
Long hesitated for a moment, then chuckled: "Dream about it..."
dream?
The housekeeper and the woman were both stunned.
I never expected this answer.
51. v5 layout
Half a month later, Long set off to meet with the other ten old men.
Head to the continent of Ezhen.
It has to be said that having money and status really changes things. Before, he always traveled on the spaceship with other passengers. But now... the entire spaceship is his, his private property.
Moreover, the spaceship's interior was heavily guarded... inside and out, it was filled with Mafia bodyguards.
Although he doesn't need protection... the entourage is still quite grand.
It's been almost a year...
Sitting on the spacious, soft sofa, which could even be used as a bed, Long crossed his legs and gazed at the huge floor-to-ceiling window in front of him, where he could clearly see the vast landscape, and murmured to himself.
The gains over the past year have been quite significant, not to mention the resources acquired by the Ten Old Men and the gang.
Before this, his battles with Nen users were all 1v1, but his experience in the mafia broadened his adaptability and diversity of combat styles... He also witnessed a wider variety of Nen abilities, and the high-intensity battles significantly stimulated and enhanced his spirit and physical body.
They have become more adept at using their Nen abilities.
Another thing is... he truly began to integrate into and understand the atmosphere of this world.
It felt real... not just as a time traveler.
He is now a member of the Hunter world!
His success makes it easy to see just how high the ceiling is for Nen users.
For ordinary people, even the head of an ordinary gang is an unattainable figure, let alone the Ten Elders. Oboro believed that besides him, there must be others in the same profession who could replace the Ten Elders, but for those 'masters,' there are many ways to reach the top and understand this world; the gang is just one of them… In other words, only Oboro chose this path.
It was quite a coincidence... that a conflict happened with the Fels family.
It's quite amazing to think about...
Long beckoned with his finger, and one of his subordinates handed him the juice that had already been poured.
This is the boss's unique hobby... He doesn't smoke or smoke cigars, and he likes to drink coffee or juice when he has nothing to do... He's different from the average big boss, and his style is not the same. The people around him are used to it.
Host: Oboro.
Age: 20 years old.
Combat Rank: Battle-hardened martial artist, senior-level Nen master. (Can be upgraded to: Nen Master)
Overall attribute evaluation: Human evolutionary.
Oboro glanced at the system panel and compared it to before leaving the Sky Arena, his Nen ability expert had become a senior-level Nen ability expert, with two more words added.
After taking a sip of juice, Oboro blinked.
His martial arts skills are still the same few types. His growth in the gang is mostly implicit: combat experience, combat mindset, the amount of information his brain needs to process in a short time, and the 'heart' that Biscuit emphasized. At least the 'quality' of Oboro's psychic power is now significantly stronger than it was a year ago.
However, as your strength improves to a certain level, or as your level increases, the rate of increase will indeed slow down.
"This martial artist's rating... is based on martial arts skills... and the number of skills is also related... It seems I need to learn more. The attribute is nothing more than physical strength, so I need to train more." Long had an idea in her mind.
These things need to be done step by step.
Haste makes waste.
He got up and went to the top floor of the spaceship. It was empty except for a few men in suits guarding the entrance, two of whom were Nen users.
It's worth mentioning that although they took over Brown's power, the Fils family suffered a blow, with almost all of their men being wiped out. They need to rapidly expand their family's resources and combat strength, so David has recently been contacting people in Meteor City to buy people.
The Nen users currently in the family were selected from the Boundary Gang, and their strength is generally average.
Long took off his coat, revealing a white shirt, and after stabilizing his breathing, began practicing martial arts.
Life is about movement, we can't be lazy...
……
The following day, the Fils family's spaceship landed at a private berth, where countless gang vehicles were already waiting early in the morning.
When Oboro appeared and disembarked from the spaceship, he went directly to his destination by car.
A completely closed-off, hidden research base.
It is actually a company that mainly conducts biological research.
Besides meeting with the other ten old men, he also had another important matter to attend to this time... namely the 'major project' that Brown had previously been bogged down in.
A 'major client' who has dealings with the Ten Elders!
v5!
The fact that the gangsters had contact with V5 didn't surprise Oboro at all; he had expected it long ago, it was inevitable.
The gangs are involved in many industries, including research companies, arms, and pharmaceuticals, and their scale is significant even for V5. As an official organization, V5 cannot conduct many things openly, which is where the gangs come in.
Oboro used the ten old men as a springboard, and V5 was one of the reasons.
The massive gate slowly opened, and vehicles drove into the building erected in the Gobi Desert, surrounded by electric fences, towers, bunkers, and surveillance cameras. The sheer number of patrols inside and outside the compound was terrifying; it felt like not even a fly could get in.
A moment later, the car stopped, and Long, led by the guide, arrived at an open outdoor area. The other nine people had already taken their places; some were talking, some were on the phone, and some were preoccupied with other matters.
"Hello."
With one hand in his pocket, Oboro flashed a sunny smile and waved.
"..."
Apart from two of them, the remaining seven were seeing Oboro for the first time. They never expected Oboro to have such an aura, completely unlike a gangster boss who was on equal footing with them.
It seems like...they're here for tourism.
"So it's you... Hmph, so young... Rising to power from a small family and managing to take down Brown, you really went to great lengths!"
“We are a gang… Brown being killed only proves that he is trash, doesn’t deserve to be in this position, and should be eliminated.”
The woman who had a 'connection' with Oboro said coldly.
"well done!"
Some people gave Oboro a thumbs up.
No one present would underestimate Oboro based on his appearance or age... Anyone who can climb to this position is no pushover.
"They've arrived!" Before there was any time for conversation or pleasantries, one of them put down the phone and said in a deep voice.
Everyone fell silent instantly, their expressions turning serious.
Long didn't ask any more questions and stood to the side.
A moment later, three men in suits appeared. They didn't look like gangsters at all…they exuded an air of officialdom. The leader was a fair-skinned, slightly overweight man.
Nian... should be the leader of the three, the other two seem to be assistants carrying bags.
The fat man glanced at the ten people, his gaze lingering briefly on Long, but he said nothing.
One of his men brought over a bunch of protective suits.
Everyone changed into their new clothes one after another.
"go in."
The fat man nodded to a researcher.
Suddenly, the ground trembled, and a passage rose from underground. Lights suddenly shone at the dark entrance, and a group of small white figures slowly stepped inside.
"A high-ranking official from V5..."
Long walked at the very back, staring at the fat man's figure, and narrowed his eyes.
interesting…
The moment this person appeared, he immediately became the one giving orders on the spot.
Although the fat man didn't say much, his arrogance was obvious. The Ten Elders, who wielded considerable influence in the underworld, seemed to be completely unrelated to big shots in his eyes... Just think about V5's attitude towards Netero, and you'll understand.
Moreover, this person definitely knew about Brown's death, but had no interest in asking about it... From V5's perspective, it didn't matter if the Ten Elders were replaced, as long as it didn't affect their project progress.
v5 is composed of five nations considered the most powerful on the human side: the Begrosse United Nations, the Saherta United States, and the Ochima Federation.
In the early years, these major powers jointly sent people to the Dark Continent and brought back the 'Five Calamities'... Although the original work did not focus on describing V5, all the information from various aspects revealed that V5 was the dominant force on the human side in this world!
A true behemoth!
