An Argument!

Hearing Ian's words.

Kannari Rin's eyes widened, her chest heaved violently, and she took a deep breath!

Her pale fists were clenched tightly, and she looked furious.

Are you trying to fool me like I'm an idiot?!

The things this wretched brat said made it sound like he was trying to fool her like she was an idiot!

What? Hundreds of thousands of Nen users?

She has data from the V5 Operations Center showing that even including the Hunter Association and many other Hunters, there are currently no more than 4,000 Nen users in the world.

What the other person said sounded like they were trying to fool her, an adult, with fairy tales!

This is simply... outrageous!

Across from her, she saw that the other person looked angry.

Ian looked speechless, thinking to himself, "Didn't I make myself clear enough?"

"Group Leader Kannari Rin, if you're sure you want to get involved here, or rather, if V5 behind you decides to get involved, I can stay out of it and choose not to interfere."

Ian waved his hand.

He personally didn't actually want to get involved in this matter; he was only here for Kim and Netero.

The other party spoke in a questioning tone.

But he forgot that he was not under the other party's control.

He is not V5's subordinate!

It can be said that from beginning to end, the other party had no right to question him from any angle!

The other party works for V5 and wants to take control of the decision-making process here.

However, I'm sorry.

He is not subject to this control!

If political institutions like V5 get involved and try to interfere, then... let them do what they want.

In any case, even if the Dark Creations sealed at the bottom of this Ruins revives, or if Sashado restores the Gandor Dynasty, it won't affect him.

With a large number of tools at his disposal, he could ensure that he and Uvogin could escape all this disaster.

Hearing Ian's nonchalant words...

Kannari Rin's breath hitched!

She had naturally witnessed Ian's strength and knew that most of the current predicament was resolved by this boy who always created miracles.

If the other party doesn't cooperate, their trip will likely be very unsuccessful.

In particular, the girl on the field, who clearly had a deep connection with the Ruins, stood there quietly, observing everything.

The slight goodwill I had initially felt towards Ian vanished completely because of his uncooperative attitude!

How can people be so selfish?!

"Do you... do you even realize that cooperating with V5 is for the sake of all humanity as a whole!"

Kannari Rin raised her slender fingers, her gaze fixed intently on Ian, and spoke earnestly, word by word.

Kim and Netero, who were standing nearby, had also sensed the tension between the two sides and quickly came over.

Ian glanced at the other person.

"Then what?"

"So I'm just supposed to cooperate and follow your orders?"

Ian walked over.

He was slightly shorter than Kannari Rin, who was wearing high heels, but his gaze was very calm as he looked at her fair face, which was still fair despite being covered in a little dust, and said calmly.

Are you proud to be a subordinate of V5?

"The Exorcism Team?"

"If you're like the Hunter Association, pursuing your own hobby of exploring the unknown, then I wouldn't mind..."

"People live to pursue their own interests."

"But, I ask Group Leader Kannari Rin, you keep talking about humanity and honor, are you sure your actions aren't for your own positions?"

"I only believe what I see with my own eyes!"

"I see gangs running rampant in this world, and nobody cares!"

"I saw that the filthy and disgusting desires of the powerful and wealthy were uncontrollable; they tortured and slaughtered their own kind, skinning and gutting them, all for their own morbid and bizarre fetishes!"

"I see people in remote areas starving, willing to sell anything for a meal, while in the city high-rises, heinous criminals who have committed countless crimes remain high above, enjoying everything."

"It's like... a chaotic world that's been wantonly overturned by Evil God..."

"So, what made all this possible, Group Leader Kannari Rin...?"

Ian calmly looked into the other person's eyes, and amidst the other person's unpleasant expression, he asked and answered his own question.

"V5 made all of this possible."

"This is politics, it's about balance, and it's also a 'structure' that allows them to maintain their superior position."

"And you are nothing more than henchmen and lackeys who maintain this structure..."

Ian's words were cold and ruthless, full of sarcasm and mockery.

Kannari Rin's pretty face darkened.

The other person's words were like a sharp knife, tearing apart a certain sense of honor in her heart.

Her fists were clenched so tightly that her nails pierced her palms, drawing blood.

But she didn't care at all; she just wanted to refute the boy's words!

The Hunters watched coldly from the sidelines.

Few Hunters are willing to approach the V5 organization.

Hunters are a group of people who pursue freedom and explore the unknown; they are precisely the ones who hate organizational systems with strong hierarchical structures the most.

"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"...

Beside Kannari Rin.

The members of the Exorcism Team looked grim. Hearing the mockery of the young man in front of them, even though they knew he was powerful, they all drew their Nen Guns and aimed them at Ian!

Perhaps it was for their own honor, or perhaps they simply couldn't accept such a judgment from the other party!

"I've already told you, don't point a gun at me!"

Ian merely glanced at them, his gaze hardening. Without moving a muscle, under the influence of an invisible force of will, the Nen Gun in the hands of everyone present shook violently, unable to be held steady, and then flew out heavily!

Everyone looked horrified!

After hearing Aimina's story about Sashado, Ian became more excited about the [Superpower Hat].

With consistent wearing and extensive training, he could certainly achieve that level of skill.

Ian looked at Kannari Rin again and said calmly.

"Group Leader Kannari Rin, from now on, I still hope you will remain quiet, just like before... Yes, just watch quietly..."

"Please... don't try to tell me how to do things anymore."

"This is a kind piece of advice for you..."

"After all, as Gondor Sashado, the Born King of Gondor, said, your time is running out..."

"If you have so much free time, you should think about how to deal with his appearance."

"After all... this is for the sake of the lives of your masters. Enemies of that caliber can't be dealt with by playing politics..."

Ian sneered, ignoring the other person's thoughts, and walked to the side.

Jin immediately followed.

Although Ian's behavior seemed a bit excessive to him, he didn't have a good impression of V5 or the Exorcism Team.

Moreover, he was also aware of it.

With Ian's current strength, he really doesn't need to care about the opinions of the Exorcism Team on many occasions.

Ultimately, Nen users must prove their abilities.

Netero remained where he was, glancing at the pale and bloodless Kannari Rin with his aged eyes, and spoke in a deep and calm tone.

"Group Leader Kannari Rin, the problems we encountered in these Ruins have exceeded all of our expectations."

"That child didn't necessarily have a reason to get involved in this incident; he came to help without expecting anything in return..."

"And his importance surpasses that of everyone else, including myself..."

"His background dictates that he will not accept anyone's command or orders; I hope you understand that."

With a blank expression, Kannari Rin slowly released her bleeding hand, her voice somewhat hoarse.

"I see..."

Kannari Rin felt a little wronged.

She wanted to argue that she wasn't acting for her own power, but rather to better handle the situation.

However... she couldn't refute the rest of what the other person said.

She had also heard about the perverse habits of some high-ranking leaders, but she... had no authority to deal with them...

She also lacked the power to solve the problem here...

Ian's words made her realize her powerlessness.

Netero nodded.

He had met Kannari Rin before, and his extensive experience made him very clear that the woman in front of him was an idealist and had no ill intentions.

But... that's just how this world is.

There is no place for idealists here.

"Jin, did I just go too far?"

What do you think?

"Ugh... I hate stupid women like that..."

"You want to apologize?"

"What a joke! If I could enlighten such a fool, it would be her good fortune. What a laughable ideal! She doesn't understand the endless malice of humanity..."

"That last sentence... is... quite interesting..."

"Oh, those Netero's exact words..."

When did the president say that?

"After."

"You... you're really joking..."
