Hunter x Hunter: Call Me Master Inventor

Every prey has its own value and cost in terms of how it is hunted.

If the cost of hunting is disproportionate to its value, then such prey will naturally be ignored.

Simply put, if you become stronger, others will be wary of you, and you will naturally stop being targeted.

"Wasn't there no one left to stop us after that?"

Uvogin was picking his nose, looking completely unconcerned.

Then, he said excitedly and impatiently:

"Once we get back to Meteor City, we can officially start our careers, right...?"

He looked at von Clay, a wide grin spreading across his face, and called out the name he hadn't uttered in so long:

"Commander von Clay!!"

Leader~

That's quite an interesting name.

Von Clay chuckled, his gaze also fixed on the faintly visible Meteor Street complex in the distance.

"This time, let's completely establish the guild!"

The moment I returned to Meteor City, it seemed like nothing had changed.

Meteor Street is still the same Meteor Street.

The residents here still make a living on that garbage dump.

This place still retains a cruel and vicious side, full of courage and ruthlessness.

But when von Clay arrived at the elder's palace and saw Elder Babagra again, and saw the genuine smile on his face, von Clay knew that there was still something different.

"Thank you for your hard work during this time."

Even with his wrinkled face, Babagrana couldn't hide the genuine smile that radiated from him.

"I have seen everything you have done outside."

"I've heard about the 'Children's Future' Foundation being dismantled all over the world, even though I live in Meteor City."

As he spoke, he looked at von Clay with eyes full of satisfaction:

"Even when you're out in the world, you still keep this matter to yourself."

"I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

von Clay: "..."

Well, to my shame, it seems like all of this was done by Uvogin and his crew...

"Cough cough."

von Clay coughed twice:

"It's nothing~"

He said in a very serious tone:

"These are things we should do."

Seeing this, Elder Babagra's smile deepened.

"Kuroro has already devised a strategy for Meteor City that is very suitable for the development and changes here."

"Once you begin your operation, the slogans corresponding to every point in Meteor City will immediately be activated..."

Elder Babagra said softly:

"I promise, at that time, everyone in Meteor City will know clearly~"

"What does it mean to say, 'We don't reject anything, but don't try to take anything away from us'?"

"They've been living in this world in a daze for far too long."

"It's time to wake up!"

The biggest problem in Meteor City isn't finding a living in a garbage dump, nor is it any violent fights.

In the outside world and in some places, the lives of citizens in some countries are even more miserable than those in Meteor City.

Even in countries where war has broken out, the people live in dire straits.

The shadow of death loomed over each and every one of them.

In contrast, Meteor City is already a safe place for its residents to live.

Even the children here have room to grow up without outside interference.

It's fair to say that Meteor City is quite good compared to many other places.

However, there is one thing that everyone living here understands:

"We are people abandoned by the world, people who are not recognized."

It is precisely because of this perception that most people in Meteor City give up on themselves.

They knew that even if they went to the outside world, they would not have any identity documents.

In short, they don't even qualify as human beings.

This is why so many outside forces have reached into Meteor City.

Most of the residents of Meteor City remained indifferent and unmoved, watching from the sidelines.

They didn't consider themselves part of this place at all.

They also completely disregarded the "Meteor City People" as fellow residents living there.

In other words, they felt no sense of belonging to this place, as if everything was irrelevant to them.

They don't see themselves as human beings; they are walking corpses, and they live like walking corpses.

What Kuroro has been doing over the past few years is to convey this idea to everyone.

The message was relayed to every corner of Meteor City, so that everyone could clearly know about it.

"It's one thing for them to know, but the important thing is to enable them to believe."

Babagra looked directly into von Klay's eyes:

"So that they can understand that we are not just making empty promises."

"They are the people of Meteor City. Even if they are not recognized or abandoned by the outside world, they can still stand up straight and proudly face the world as the people of Meteor City."

"I see."

Von Clay nodded.

Elder Babagra meant that the statement "We do not reject anything, but do not try to take anything from us" should not be empty talk.

Anyone can say a slogan, but to truly make people remember it and internalize it is to make it resonate with them.

Then we need to take concrete actions to gain the recognition and belief of the people of Meteor City.

"Leave this to me."

von Clay chuckled and said:

"Having been away for so long, it's time to put an end to this incident."

"Then I'll look forward to it."

Elder Babagra's tone softened:

"Kuroro did a good job before, so now..."

He clasped his hands together and said in a soft voice:

"It's up to you now, von Clay."

"Let's put an end to this farce."

Kuroro did indeed spread that idea to every corner of Meteor City.

At least when von Clay walked down Meteor Street, he would see similar slogans from time to time.

However, just as Elder Babagra said.

Even if the people of Meteor City saw it, they acted as if they hadn't seen it at all.

They still don't have this concept in their minds.

"So, Kuroro has already set up the stage and sung the prelude, now~"

von Clay murmured to himself:

"We'll see how the grand finale goes."

Clearly, the "Future of Children" Foundation will become the first old general to be adorned with flags in this grand drama.

Before that, von Clay naturally wanted to meet the rest of the Phantom Troupe.
