The Protagonist's Career Starting From Hunter

Just now, Bailang was talking about the handling of Matiao Guzman.

After making the decision last night, the first thing he prepared to deal with was the enemy.

Beautiful women are certainly attractive, but they are mostly just seasoning, so dealing with enemies should definitely be the top priority.

As an experienced person, Biscuit obviously has extensive knowledge.

Like an old fox, she may not reveal everything, but she definitely possesses information that ordinary people don't know.

"A formidable figure? Could there be a more powerful gang behind the old fox?" Sitting on another sofa, Shibai couldn't help but ask curiously after hearing Biscuit's words.

The old fox is naturally not unfamiliar to her.

Even when she used to work as a mercenary, she had taken on tasks related to the gang.

After all, mercenaries sell their lives for money, as long as they are paid enough, they won't care who the employer is or what power they belong to.

"Are you talking about V5?"

Bailang was not surprised by Biscuit's mention of the formidable figure, but instead pointed out the identity of the so-called formidable figure.

"Yes, it's V5. The old fox seems to be the top figure in the world of gangs, wielding immense power. But in reality, they are just puppets supported by the privileged class of V5, specifically used to handle those shady matters." Biscuit nodded.

The old fox at the top of the gang can be said to be extremely arrogant.

But those who know the truth are actually very clear that the old fox is just a black glove.

With Biscuit's experience and abilities, she naturally knows the hidden secrets.

So what she is really warning Bailang about is not the old fox, but the privileged class of V5 behind the old fox.

After all, even when dealing with dogs, one must consider the owner.

Eliminating the old fox would definitely not go unnoticed by the privileged class of V5, even if it's just to maintain their own reputation.

"V5?!"

Upon learning that there is V5 behind the old fox, Shibai and Pengsi were both surprised.

But after the initial shock, the two women felt that this kind of thing seemed understandable.

To ordinary people, gangs are indeed dangerous entities that should not be provoked.

But just as gangs can only thrive in the underground world, when facing the true upper class, gangs are nothing more than insignificant pests.

No matter how formidable the old fox is, they are ultimately just gang members.

If they want to survive, they cannot avoid the permission... or rather, the tacit approval of the authorities.

And in today's world, the biggest authority is V5.

So the old fox is a puppet of V5. It's not surprising if it's not exposed, but once it is, it really wouldn't be unexpected.

Bailang is also not surprised by this.

Gang organizations like the old fox's would never have been able to develop without the tacit approval of V5.

To put it bluntly, without V5's approval, the old fox would probably be wiped out on the first day of its development.

Of course, Bailang had only speculated before, but now it has been confirmed through Biscuit.

And after confirming it, Bailang also thought of many things.

For example, the death of the old fox in the original plot involving You Kexin.

It's probably V5's doing that Bailang died...」- Bailang

In the original plot, the death of the Ten Old Men was ordered by Chrollo to the Zoldyck family, who carried out the assassination.

This procedure seems normal, but in reality, it reveals something unusual.

Firstly, if the Zoldyck family were to accept the assassination order for the Ten Old Men, then the old men would have died long ago.

Ordinary gangs are already hated, let alone the Ten Old Men.

Bailang believes that there are plenty of people in the world who want to kill the Ten Old Men, and there is certainly no shortage of wealthy individuals.

Even if the Zoldyck family sets an extremely high price for assassinating the Ten Old Men, there would still be people who can afford it.

Bailang has investigated the information about the Ten Old Men through the Hunter Association.

In the past, there have been changes in the Ten Old Men, but except for a few rare cases, the replacements were mostly done through abdication.

And even in those rare cases, at most one or two would die, not all of them at once.

Another point is where did Chrollo get so much money.

Not everyone is called Jin Freecss.

While Nen users can indeed make money easily, not everyone can be as extravagant with money as Jin Freecss.

Although Chrollo is involved in a business without capital, most of the money earned by the Phantom Troupe is used to support Meteor City.

The price that others cannot afford, Chrollo can afford, which obviously raises questions.

As for whether Chrollo sought help from Meteor City.

This brings us to the relationship between Meteor City and the gangs.

Meteor City and the gangs have always had a close relationship.

The gangs provide resources to Meteor City, while Meteor City supplies members to the gangs.

In what kind of situation can Meteor City betray the gangs?

All these inconsistencies and issues, if V5 is added to the mix, everything becomes natural.

Human ambition knows no bounds.

Although the Ten Old Men are puppets supported by V5, it doesn't mean that they are willing to be puppets forever.

Based on Bailang's speculation, the death of the Ten Old Men in the original plot is probably because they had ambitions they shouldn't have had.

For example, they wanted to break free from V5's control and become masters themselves.

Naturally, this is not something that the privileged members of V5 would allow, so it is reasonable to replace them with a new group of lackeys.

Similarly, it is reasonable for Meteor City, which has a close relationship with the Phantom Troupe, to assist from the sidelines.

Even if Meteor City didn't actively seek out V5, once they learned about this news, they would definitely become lapdogs.

After all, compared to the Ten Old Men, V5's influence is not something to be taken lightly.

Only when there are greater benefits at stake will Meteor City choose to betray their former allies.

The Phantom Troupe is the knife handed over by Meteor City.

"If my guess is correct, even if I do nothing and wait for You Kexin's auction, Matteo Guzman will definitely not escape death... But compared to others taking action, I still prefer to do it myself!"

Bailang rubbed his chin, still not changing his mind.

There's no way around it, it's more satisfying to personally take out the enemy.
