Hunter x Hunter: Call Me Master Inventor

Then, from within the billowing yellow dust, a loud laugh could be heard:

"Are you talking badly about us behind our backs again, von Clay?!"

Indistinctly, a massive figure emerged from the swirling dust.

"Haven't seen you for a year, you haven't changed a bit!!"

Broad shoulders, muscular build, and an explosive, wild power emanating from his entire body.

His entire attire resembled that of a wild man active in the forest, consisting only of fur trousers and boots.

Everything else is outside.

"Your attire has become incomprehensible, Uvogin."

Von Clay smiled as he looked at the tall figure before him.

And his long, silvery-white hair that draped down his back.

"Since I said I wanted to become the world's number one villain..."

Uvogin grinned as he saw Uvogin, whom he hadn't seen for a year.

"Then naturally we need to make changes starting with the appearance!"

"That's right, it's just an appearance."

A slightly languid voice came from behind Uvogin.

"In other aspects, we haven't seen any progress at all."

Nobunaga chuckled and walked to the front, dragging his wide-sleeved robe.

"What do you mean by 'no progress'?!"

Uvogin was very dissatisfied and said:

"I've killed quite a few people this past year!!"

As he spoke, a sinister grin appeared on his face, and he clenched his fist tightly.

"I'm perfectly fine, I even collected some interest first!!"

During this year, Uvogin not only saw the outside world.

With his simple and straightforward mind, there were naturally only two things on his mind.

One of his dreams within the Phantom Troupe is to become the world's number one villain.

The other one wants revenge.

This was one of their main reasons for leaving Meteor City.

Everything was in preparation for revenge.

The target of their revenge was naturally the boss who kept sending people to kidnap children from Meteor City.

The chairman of the so-called "Future of Children" Foundation, Lisnos.

He was remembered by television programs even more than a decade after his death.

It is conceivable that his influence is indeed considerable.

Therefore, this is a behemoth for the current members of the tour group.

But the more this happened, the more Uvogin wanted to confront them.

So, after von Clay and the others left the Sky Arena.

Uvogin and Nobunaga's next journey was to cause trouble for the "Children's Future" Foundation.

In every city, once they find the headquarters of their conglomerate, they will definitely have to visit it.

"Our approach was simple: once we found the place and got inside, we smashed down a few walls to scare those cowards."

"Then let them accuse the current branch of this conglomerate of what crimes it has committed and what inhumane practices it has engaged in."

"If there really was someone who did something disgusting and filthy, of course we'd clean him up too!!"

Uvogin raised his head and said with great pride:

"Even branches that didn't make any major mistakes were taught a lesson to prevent them from going astray."

"Of course, doing this would not fit our character as the main villain at all."

"So, if some self-proclaimed righteous people rush in without saying a word or distinguishing the facts, shouting about 'justice' and such..."

Uvogin also shook his fist...

"I flattened them all too!!"

When he said "flatten it," he was naturally referring to the physical aspect.

"We've made quite a bit of progress lately."

As Uvogin said this, his gaze was fixed on von Clay.

He could sense that he and his group had indeed made progress.

However, from von Clay's perspective, it was impossible to discern any depth or complexity whatsoever.

"good."

Von Klay commented approvingly:

"It's already quite remarkable that you all came back alive and well."

Uvogin: "???"

"Um?!"

He then realized:

"You mean we're so useless that we might die out there?!"

"What else?!"

Nobunaga, who was standing nearby, promptly interjected, interrupting Uvogin's impassioned speech:

"After we smashed those people to pieces, weren't we also chased around like rats in a sewer?!"

At this point, Nobunaga was also filled with resentment.

On one hand, he was annoyed by being chased by the other party, and on the other hand, he was furious at the big, dumb guy Uvogin next to him.

Well, wouldn't it be enough to just retreat promptly after defeating the invading enemy?

But Uvogin, every time he's being chased, his first thought isn't to escape!

Instead, they launched a counterattack!

He charged towards his even stronger and more formidable opponent, laughing loudly.

Nobunaga had no choice but to stay and fight alongside Uvogin.

In this way, their strength improved rapidly in one life-or-death battle after another.

However, they also suffered a lot of beatings, and almost every battle left them with considerable injuries.

During that year, Nobunaga finally understood what the dangers of the outside world truly meant.

Of course, in contrast, there is the later stage.

The number of people who are able to come and pursue them is also decreasing.

It's not that their numbers have decreased, but rather that there are fewer and fewer people with the strength and qualifications to pursue them.

Gradually, their strength began to become somewhat respectable in this world.

Yes, they were already very impressive experts above the 200th floor before they left the Sky Arena.

After this year of experience, it's unlikely that any truly powerful individuals would stand up for them in the name of "justice" and fight against evil.

Like the Phantom Troupe of the future. Their strength is considered top-tier in this world, and they have committed many heinous acts.

But not many people came to hunt them down.

Because anyone with a slightly clear mind knows that every expert who can cultivate to this level possesses extremely strong abilities.

Or, it may possess extremely powerful and troublesome abilities.

Fighting to the death with someone like that would be the worst thing you could do.

It was unexpected that Tomoe, the head of the Zoldyck family, would complain after assassinating one of the Phantom Troupe's members, claiming that he had made a bad deal.
