"Laugh..."

Eerie sounds, eerie dolls.

Everything about the boy in front of them seemed very mysterious.

Milluki, Illumi, and Tsubone all watched Ian's every move with curiosity.

As for Milluki...

What puzzled him was why a doll would "spit out" from a camera that was clearly not very big; it defied physics and was completely unscientific!

He was still young and had not yet received any knowledge of Nen from the Zoldyck Family clan.

As for Illumi and Tsubone to the side, they both had solemn expressions.

The two of them were naturally well aware of the existence of Nen.

From the moment Ian appeared until now, they have yet to discover what his abilities are...

They believed that the extreme speed, beyond human perception, must be caused by some kind of Nen Ability used by Ian.

Otherwise.

Even the experienced Tsubone couldn't imagine how a young child could possess a physical strength greater than that of Martial Arts who had trained diligently for decades!

After all, the faster the speed, the stronger the physique needed to support that power!

Ian did not hide their actions and gave them a chance.

Let's take a look at the reasons that led to Silva's defeat at the hands of his opponent.

Ian didn't care about this.

In any case, "Netero's power" is only temporarily borrowed; as long as it's confirmed that the other group is not an enemy, that's enough.

This trump card is prepared for an unexpected enemy.

As for the [Cursed Camera].

Since this prop has already been shown to Silva, it doesn't matter much if it's exposed.

Ian quietly held the doll in his hand, calmly watching the Nen user in the distance, and then walked towards the police car in the distance.

"Hand this guy over to me!"

Approaching the group of police officers, Ian spoke calmly.

Upon hearing his words, the police officer who was carrying the criminal bound with the "Justice Rope" to the police car frowned and quickly waved his hand.

"Hey kid, these are extremely vicious criminals. Go home now. This isn't a place where you can joke around."

As he spoke, he stepped forward to drive the other party away.

Ian didn't say much, but simply picked up the phone and dialed the number of the Police Department.

For Ian...

He should do whatever is convenient. With a group of dedicated police officers around, there's no need for him to take action; he can simply "persuade" the other party through normal channels.

"Beep beep beep..."

The call was answered quickly.

"Excuse me, are you... Ian? I am Police Department Ainard, it is an honor to receive your instructions!"

It can be said that...

After the last major overhaul of the entire education system, Ian's phone number had become an indispensable part of the lives of all the high-ranking officials in Ejin City!

Everyone witnessed the bloody purge that took place during that banquet.

The other party is clearly not an ordinary person!

Moreover, the other party's attitude was also very clear: it was not a completely unreasonable act of white terror, but rather an almost obsessive-compulsive purge of order!

Whether in business, politics, education, healthcare, or other sectors related to people's livelihoods...

Nobody's a fool.

Everyone knows who was subjected to cruel torture at that banquet, and what they had done behind the scenes.

The actions of the Kazan Gang, led by "Ian," the Xierku Family, and other forces.

Some people can accept it, while others can't!

Those who can accept this are, to some extent, idealists. They themselves have not violated morality or the law, and they are willing to accept a relatively pure political environment.

As for those he dislikes, Ian doesn't care what they think.

If a crime is discovered by the "Justice Rope" or if a problem is found by Xia's investigation team, then it will be dealt with accordingly.

A group of political animals at the top of Ejin City, to some extent, had a very keen sense of smell and had clearly realized one thing within a few days.

The world in Ejin City has completely changed!

If the Gogar Royal Family were capable, they would have replaced the Grand Leader of Ejin City long ago!

However, the newly Grand Leader Kazan has firmly secured his position, continuing to attend various press conferences and events, and remaining active in the political arena.

Moreover, due to the existence of the "Evil's Nemesis," the other side's public support is rising day by day.

This clearly only illustrates one point!

The Gogar Royal Family has now lost control of Ejin City and is at the mercy of the other side.

So, regardless of their thoughts, the only thing they need to do right now is to cling tightly to this new Grand Leader and the hidden forces behind him.

Those who have managed to reach this level are all shrewd old foxes; they have witnessed the benefits the Sharku Clan has gained from this alliance.

Without a doubt, they know better than anyone else how to choose!

And...

A while ago, someone named "Ian" did a "spot check" on the Ministry of Education!

That time, even the Minister of Ministry of Education Mons, was so scared he almost peed his pants!

The result was... a major overhaul of the entire Ejin City education system, and Minister Mons really stole the show during those days!

What was the Ministry of Education in the past?

It's just a tiny bit of power...

However, with the support from above, Mons finally understood what it meant to be "second only to one person, above ten thousand others"!

Even the Police Department chief had to treat him with utmost respect. He wielded great power, inspecting prestigious schools and conducting comprehensive "screening" and admonishment of students, Principals, and teachers!

Who wouldn't be trembling with fear!?

This is the highest order from "Ian"!

With the strong support of Grand Leader Kazan, which department dared to speak out? Which politician dared to utter a word? Which businessman dared to disobey? Which parent dared to flaunt their so-called power to him?

In just a few days, Mons experienced the allure of being close to the center of power!

Many officials, both high and low, flocked to him...

It's safe to say that if anyone dares to speak ill of the new Grand Leader, Kazan, Mons will be the first to disagree!

He was the first to call himself a lackey, but he certainly won't be the last.

And Ainard, naturally, also witnessed the change in Mons's political standing.

What else is there to say!

Even though he was Police Department chief, he still desperately wanted to advance his career!

Especially when he received a call from "Ian".

This is an office located in the Ejin City.

The desktop was extremely clean and tidy.

A man with a resolute face, around forty years old, gray hair, and a thick beard stood respectfully, his uniform buttoned up to his collar. He was near the window, his hand covering his phone, bowing slightly, eagerly awaiting the next instruction.

There was no response for a long time on the other end of the phone.

He felt his palms were sweating and burning hot, as if what he held in his hands wasn't a phone, but a qualification card that would determine his promotion.

To be honest...

Ainard was one of the very few politicians who supported Ian and others in carrying out the purge.

This middle-aged man, just considering his important position as Police Department, was able to "set an example" and escape the purge, which shows that he was a man with very low material desires in his daily life.

However, low material desires correspond to extremely high spiritual desires!

In his daily life, Ainard was more like a Puritan, placing great importance on spiritual purity. As a result, he used to suffer greatly every day!

Every day he had to endure this murky, muddy world, hypocritically dealing with his colleagues, and numbly handling one trivial matter after another.

He felt that his ambitions were not being realized!

Sometimes.

He even considered "revolting" against the Gogar Kingdom, not for the sake of so-called democracy or for the common people, but purely because he loathed this gray world where black and white were mixed together.

It can be said that this is an existence that is completely out of step with the Melody of the Hunter World.

The emergence of Ian and other forces gave Ainard a glimmer of hope, a chance to no longer have to endure that bleak world!

He could see it through Mons's changes.

The other party doesn't actually care about their subordinates' attempts to seize power, as long as their demands are met...

This is exactly what Ainard wanted!

He was extremely nervous; success or failure, all the opportunities lay in this phone call.
