"The item is dangerous!" carries even more weight

"Huh..."

Uvogin was very uncomfortable being asked to hold his hand and apologize, and he grimaced.

The expression on his face right now is like... an old man using his phone on the subway...

Watching Walker transform from an unruly guy into a "good guy" in an instant, and then speaking to him with an apologetic expression.

Even the notoriously arrogant Uvogin showed a newfound respect for the [Good Friend Ring] on Ian's hand...

That's terrifying...

No wonder Ian said this prop couldn't be lent to them casually.

The thought of being controlled by this ring and ending up like this made Uvogin want to slap himself twice.

Nobunaga and the others also came over at this time.

"Ah! You're all good friends' companions, right? I'm so sorry, I almost attacked you just now..."

Walker scratched his head, looking ashamed.

Everyone looked at each other, their thoughts mirroring Uvogin's!

Feitan, in particular, looked at Walker's fawning expression, his lips twitching, his expression incredibly complex, and inside he was practically roaring.

See... what did I tell you?!

I told you so!

With all those weird and wonderful gadgets that Ian has, anyone who goes up against him is bound to be in big trouble!

Having been subdued by a "Trip Expert," he has a lot to say on this!

Ian frowned.

Feeling the almost nonexistent amount of Nen left in his body, he secretly clicked his tongue in amazement.

Using the [Good Friend Ring] to influence Nen users consumes far more energy than influencing ordinary people.

Even against Walker at this moment, the future Rabid Dog, a Nen user with not much Nen, it still consumed nearly half of his Nen.

Having just fought with Mizaistom this morning, and having used [Cursed Camera], he already had very little Nen.

Using the props again at this moment, I felt completely drained.

"Let's go first. We can talk about it at the hospital."

Ian spoke calmly.

"Huh? My friend, are you hurt? Why are you going to the hospital?" Walker looked at him with some concern.

Ian turned to look at him and said softly.

"Just call me Ian. Since we're good friends, I need to ask you a few questions later, and I hope you'll answer truthfully."

"Of course, we're friends!"

Everyone quickly got into the car and headed towards the city hospital.

Only the Kalie Gang's factory remained in this desolate outskirts, a scene of utter devastation after the battle.

Inside the speeding car.

What's your name?

You can call me Walker, Ian.

"Who sent you to attack us?"

"Sigh, I never imagined I'd almost attack you, nearly making a terrible mistake. It was Xia Sharku who sent me to ask Kalie Gang rescue her sister."

"It's my brother!!" Mina, who was obediently tied up beside Pakunoda, shouted excitedly upon hearing this.

Ian glanced at her but ignored her.

Beside him, Walker looked somewhat embarrassed, and upon hearing Mina's words, could only offer a helpless expression.

Ian for a moment, then asked calmly.

"How did you meet Xia Sharku? What kind of reward did he promise you to get you to come?"

"My acquaintance with Xia was completely accidental. Back in Yorknew City, that guy was being chased, and I happened to run into him. I was bored, so I rescued him. Unexpectedly, we got along quite well, and so we became friends..."

"As for the reward for rescuing Mina, there isn't one. She's a friend's sister, after all; it was just a small favor..."

Walker scratched his face lightly, seemingly a little embarrassed.

Hearing this, Ian was somewhat surprised and asked in confusion.

"You, a Nen user, make friends with ordinary people?"

Walker gave a wry smile.

"It's strange, isn't it? But that guy is definitely an interesting person, unlike other ordinary people who always judge others by their appearance!"

Hearing his words.

Everyone present was stunned.

Then, everyone's gaze lingered on his ragged clothes for a moment before they silently looked away.

"Hey, you guys are giving me weird looks..."

Walker's face flushed slightly, and he clenched his sleeves, somewhat embarrassed.

Ian was genuinely surprised to find that the other person was someone who paid a lot of attention to appearance.

But... even the Rabid Dogs of the future are not short of money, and their clothes are no different from their current ones, looking tattered and ragged.

Ian hesitated for a moment, stroking his chin in thought.

Could it be that the other person has some kind of mental illness, like obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) about cleanliness, while they themselves have OCD about dirtiness?

That's also possible...

After all, it's the Hunter World, full of perverts and grotesque fetishes...

"Ahem... Ignore them, Walker. Now talk about yourself. If you save Mina, where do you plan to go?"

Where to?

Walker hesitated for a moment before speaking slowly.

"I haven't decided yet, but Xia did suggest I come to his family's place, but I declined..."

Actually, I don't really enjoy interacting with people...

"If I could, I would prefer to go into the wild and befriend wolves!"

He seemed to have expressed his innermost dream, and he was both excited and shy.

As everyone watched Walker reveal his innermost self in all his glory, what surprised them most was the terrifying power of Ian's [Good Friend Ring]...

This moment.

The significance of Ian's earlier statement, "This gadget is dangerous," continues to rise...

And then I heard what the other person said.

Ian roughly figured out why he had turned to the mafia and become a member of the Shadow Beasts Unit under the Ten Dons...

It can only be said that when someone who is not very smart and has personality weaknesses gains a certain amount of power, they are always easily manipulated.

I don't know how that guy named Xia managed to convince a Nen user to help him.

And just then...

"Squeak!"

With a screech of brakes, and with Uvogin speeding along, the group arrived at the hospital entrance in less than ten minutes.

A group of passersby stared in horror at the car that was speeding excessively.

Ian Kuroro and the others helped Drein out of the car, with Machi following closely behind.

"Uvogin, Nobunaga, keep an eye on him. If... this guy tries to cause trouble after he wakes up, just kill him!"

Ian said in a cold voice.

"Who did you kill?" Walker asked curiously, then paused, pointing to himself, looking both sad and incredulous.

Could it be me?

"Laugh..."

A sharp Tachi was placed against Walker's neck. Nobunaga showed no mercy, he said coldly.

"Hey, if you're smart, don't move. Trust me... if you dare move, I'll slit your throat!"

Walker didn't move, but his eyes were full of disappointment.

Ian turned his head away helplessly. The only downside to the [Good Friend Ring] was that seeing the look in the other person's eyes, as if they were looking at a faithless friend, made Ian feel like a treacherous villain.

But... we were originally enemies!

Afterwards, the group turned around and went straight to the hospital.

One minute later.

"What... what did you do?!"

Walker snapped back to reality, his eyes still filled with deep fear.

"Do not move!"

Nobunaga pressed the Tachi closer to the man's neck until blood flowed out, at which point the man came to his senses and dared not move. His pupils trembled slightly, unable to conceal his inner panic.

That's... that's terrifying...

He felt completely like a puppet, utterly stripped Walker his own dignity!

He did what he should and shouldn't have done...!

He said everything he should and shouldn't have said!

Good heavens... Damn it, I didn't even mention that I was only a few years younger than him when he wet the bed!

"Damn it, damn it, is that guy's Nen Ability!?"

Even with blood flowing from his neck, Walker's eyes remained bloodshot, and he continued to curse.

"How could such a shameless Nen Ability exist in this world... Shameless... Utterly shameless..."

He clenched his sleeve.

Just thinking about my conversation makes my Vitality rush to my head, and I feel a surge of shame. I feel like I'm practically naked in everyone's eyes!

"Ian!!"

He let out a grief-stricken roar.
