Egina's loud reply made the atmosphere a little awkward for a moment.

After all, Ian hadn't expected the other party to act so unpredictably.

Despite her seemingly delicate and gentle noblewoman appearance, she calmly uttered such "outrageous" words.

Jin looked at Egina with a complicated expression; he somewhat understood Egina's previous situation.

Therefore, he could understand that Egina had absolutely no feelings for those so-called "blood relatives".

I'll just offer a slight sigh about it, but won't say anything more.

Ian, on the other hand, sighed, realizing the wisdom summarized by the ancients in his past life was indeed accurate: there has never been kinship in the imperial family...

There was absolutely no affection between this group of royalty and nobles.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with him.

Since Egina doesn't mind giving orders to slaughter his relatives who are related to him by blood, Ian naturally has no objection to her handling these matters.

However, we should also consider Jin's opinion on this matter.

Although he knew Egina, his primary relationship with her was with Kim.

What's your opinion, Kim?

Ian glanced at him, raised an eyebrow, and asked.

Jin's gaze unconsciously drifted to Egina's protruding belly. He wanted to refuse, but seeing Egina's determined look, he ultimately shook his head helplessly.

"Please, Ian."

Having received Kim's reply, Ian readily agreed and nodded.

"Then I'll leave things here to you, Egina. As for that guy named Oster, whether to use him or kill him is up to you."

"I just hope that no one who dares to mess with me gets away with it..."

"By the way, we shouldn't harm ordinary people. This country shouldn't have a monarchy anymore. If those in power can't care about the people, they're better off without one."

As he spoke, Ian turned around and glanced at the civilians hiding in the surrounding buildings who were occasionally looking in their direction.

The fear on their faces had not yet faded.

Completely unaware of what had happened in the palace, the palace itself collapsed with a deafening roar.

But.

After the terrifying giant dinosaur suddenly disappeared, they cautiously approached again, trembling with fear.

Fear still lingered in the eyes of the civilians.

After all, what they had just witnessed was far beyond their comprehension.

Even now, seeing Ian having miraculously "subdued" that giant, terrifying monster, is a testament to that.

They didn't dare to go forward, only daring to watch from afar.

A calm glint flashed in Ian's eyes, as if he had thought of something, and then he suddenly smiled at Kim and the other man.

"If one day, when ordinary people see a person in power not out of fear, but out of genuine desire to gravitate towards him and lift him up high..."

"Perhaps, only a country like this can give people a sense of hope..."

After saying that, he shook his head and then said to Jin.

"Next, I'm leaving. I've found the real mastermind, that old bastard from V5. I'm going to find him and teach him a lesson!"

When he said these words...

Ian recalled Netahu the phone earlier, and felt a surge of anger.

And while Kim wondered who Ian was talking about.

Located in the direction of the damaged royal palace.

Under the "care" of Yinkui and Rost, Oster, with his eyes lowered and his hair seemingly turned even whiter, slowly walked out along with a small group of nobles.

But at this moment...

The nobles all looked somewhat dazed, their bodies covered in blood, their hair disheveled.

Clearly... they may have experienced hellish torment, similar to a battle royale.

Fortunately, they survived.

The rest of them died at their hands, killed by their own hands.

These nobles, in the past, may have relied on various legal provisions or rules to oppress and exploit the common people.

Under the orders given to Oster by Ian.

To survive, they had to fight like wild beasts for a mere chance to live.

The prisoner's dilemma can manifest in any world.

Perhaps some of these nobles are indifferent to killing with their own hands.

But Ian didn't care.

The vast majority of them are still normal people. The scene they just experienced made them fight like wild beasts to survive, and this past experience will likely haunt them as nightmares in the middle of the night.

This is naturally their punishment.

Ian glanced at them briefly before looking away, his gaze then falling on Yinkui and Rost, Nen user abilities were rather interesting.

However, they are of no use to us right now; for the time being, we'll just have them obey Egina's orders.

Ian raised his hand.

The Cursed Dolls of the two of them appeared in his hands. Yinkui and Rost's expressions changed slightly, while Ian smiled and shook the dolls in his hands at them, speaking calmly.

"As for what to do in this city afterward, just follow Princess Egina's instructions."

"If you have any other ideas, you can give it a try. Although this Cursed Doll in my hand will only exist for a week, but..."

At this point, Ian smiled and pointed to King, who was looking at Yinkui and Rost, and smiled.

"This guy is your insurmountable nightmare. Here's my advice: listen to me and don't do anything underhanded."

Jin shook his head helplessly, but his brown eyes remained calm.

Upon hearing Ian's words, Yinkui and Rost also quickly looked at Jin.

They hadn't noticed anything before, but after using their observation skills, they discovered that the other person was covered by a very thin yet incredibly solid layer of energy.

"He's an expert!"

The two exchanged a surprised glance.

They never imagined that in just one day, they would encounter two Nen Abilities far beyond their wildest expectations.

At this moment... faced with overwhelming power, all other thoughts vanished.

"Bang!"

Ian summoned the pink [Anywhere Door], scratched his head, and then opened the door.

"A whole bunch of tedious things, it's such a hassle. If I could, I really wouldn't want to deal with complicated humans..."

"If we were to go to the Dark Continent..."

Ian said casually.

Upon hearing the words "Dark Continent," Jin's eyes narrowed, and his aura instantly solidified!

Yinkui and Rost were almost startled by the aura released by the other party, thinking that they had done something wrong and that the other party was going to attack them.

Ian was also taken aback, quickly realizing that he seemed to have revealed a secret.

But then he thought, he didn't need to care about V5's feelings. The Dark Continent was a secret they had to keep. As for him, what difference would it make if it got out?

People like Yinkui and Rost, who clearly grew up in the Gogar Kingdom, had absolutely no access to intelligence or information about the Dark Continent.

Every Nen user has their own path to growth.

Having access to information is not necessarily a strong indicator of power.

Jin: "Ian, you said you're going to the Dark Continent?"
