A Great Attempt

"The old Ejin City wasn't like this at all!"

"The Ejin City I remember had no gangs, no prostitutes, and none of that squalor!"

Although people's income is average, everyone's face is filled with happy smiles. Women never have to worry about being robbed on the street, and men work hard to support their families and make them happy!

"But... what about now!?"

Kazan's face flushed red, and he spoke with great passion, pointing to the portrait of the Grand Leader behind him that he hadn't yet had time to remove, and roared angrily.

"Everything changed ever since this guy came!"

"Whoosh--"

Among the reporters, gasps of surprise rippled through the crowd; everyone sensed a bombshell was brewing.

"This Canal secretly colludes with gangs, placing his cronies at every crucial point in government departments. Bribery and corruption are rampant everywhere. He even sold off desert transportation rights to other countries!"

He is a sinner!

"I've lived on this land since I was a child. Who dares to say I don't love this city?! I... I'd die for this city, would Canal dare to?!"

Kazan was now excited and wanted to express the depth of his love for Ejin City.

He was not good with words and no longer knew how to express his feelings.

"Brother Kazan!!"

At this moment, the henchmen who had originally come with Kazan began to shout excitedly.

Kazan, who had been giving a passionate speech and was about to say a few more words while his emotions were running high, swallowed back the tears that had welled up in his eyes when he heard the shouts of his underlings.

Hateful...

I was just feeling touched by my own performance, but these guys are such a killjoy...

"So, may I ask, Your Grand Leader, what changes will you make to Ejin City after taking office?"

At this moment, a woman with a graceful figure and beautiful face in the group of reporters looked at the other party with a serious expression and asked.

"Cough cough..."

Kazan cleared his throat, recalling what the boy had told him, and said earnestly.

"From this day forward, I will strive to eradicate all evil from Ejin City!"

"Remember this: from this day forward, this city will be a city without crime, regardless of any past offenses!"

The reporters gasped in surprise.

"How is this possible..."

A city without crime? That's just wishful thinking.

"It would be good enough if they could wipe out the gangs, to talk so arrogantly, only a fool would believe such a thing..."

"Oh no, oh no, the newly appointed Grand Leader isn't thinking straight!"

There was a murmur of discussion below, while the woman hesitated for a moment before continuing to ask.

"So, how do you plan to achieve the ideal scenario you described?"

Kazan was stunned by the woman's words.

His expression stiffened, and he awkwardly turned his head, trying to see if Ian was there.

After all.

What he said was basically what Ian told him; he didn't know exactly how the other party would achieve it.

Not far away.

"That fat guy seems to be in trouble..."

Nobunaga stroked his sword and said jokingly.

"Hmm... I saw it..."

Seeing Kazan looking helpless on the field, Ian thought for a moment and then stepped forward.

"Whoosh!"

His figure vanished into the shadows in a very eerie manner.

After the [Ability Copy Gloves] wore off, all of Silva's copied skills and abilities disappeared.

Fortunately, Chrollo and Feitan taught him the material again.

Currently, he has also mastered some assassination techniques, such as footwork.

The next second, he suddenly appeared beside Kazan, placing his hand on the other's shoulder to signal him to remain calm.

"Cough cough..."

"I am the temporary advisor to Grand Leader Kazan. I will answer the previous questions on behalf of the Grand Leader."

"First of all, a city achieving zero crime is not an ideal scenario, but a realistic possibility."

"However, this justice needs some props!"

Ian coughed lightly and answered the group of reporters.

However, at this time...

Among the reporters, the woman who asked the question paused, her expression turning to excitement, when she saw Ian's clear, innocent face.

It's him!?

Xia Ya blushed; upon seeing him again, her heart pounded, and she couldn't contain her joy.

Ian naturally noticed the excited expression on the female reporter's face below the stage. He frowned for a moment, then relaxed, and her beautiful face flashed through his mind as he remembered who she was.

It turns out she was the young lady who was almost kidnapped by the Kalie Gang in the alley earlier.

"We meet again, Miss, both unfortunate and fortunate."

Ian smiled and gave a soft, proactive greeting.

"Hmm... I really didn't expect to see you here..." Xia Ya felt a little dizzy, due to her overwhelming joy and excitement.

Ian had no idea what the other person was thinking. He thought for a moment, looked at the reporters below the stage, and suddenly had an idea. He smiled and asked.

"By the way, I still don't know your name."

"Xia Ya, just call me Xia Ya!"

Upon hearing the question, Xia Ya suppressed her nervousness and quickly answered.

"Miss Xia Ya, could you please come and do me a small favor?"

Xia Ya, at a loss, walked onto the stage and asked softly.

Is it okay to stand here?

The reporters all looked at the boy with curiosity, wondering what he wanted to do.

"Yes, that's right. First of all, I'd like to tell everyone that I had a few minor interactions with reporter Xia Ya before."

"Back then, Miss Xia Ya encountered some gangsters, and it was my team and I who helped drive them away, right?"

"Yes! The situation was extremely critical. Without you all, I don't even want to imagine what would have become of me."

Xia Ya clutched her chest, still shaken, and said.

The reporters became curious.

Even Kazan listened with interest.

Ian continued.

"We all know that crimes can happen at any time, but those who uphold justice may not always arrive in time!"

"So... next, let's introduce our protagonist, the tool of justice—[Justice Rope]"

"This is a revolutionary tool, a truly essential item that can enable a city to achieve a zero crime rate!"

"The Justice Rope!?"

The reporters gasped in surprise and quickly prepared to take photos.

Ian reached behind his back and pulled out a glass jar filled with many small particles, which appeared in the center of his palm.

The reporters who witnessed this scene were somewhat puzzled.

It was a jar of what looked like seeds, but it had absolutely nothing to do with rope.

In fact.

The appearance of this prop.

It not only helps the city reduce the crime rate, but it is also very important to Ian, as it is a brand new attempt for Ian to use his Nen Abilities.

The [Justice Rope] appears in the original work.

There is almost no room for error; any mistake is dealt with indiscriminately. Lying or swearing will result in being bound with ropes as punishment.

And these behaviors.

It's not really a mistake; he just needs to prevent criminal activity.

I met Mizaistom before.

The opponent's "Private Room Judge" gave Ian some ideas.

With the help of the [Justice Rope] item, he also hopes to have convenient and highly targeted control skills.

By utilizing [Contract and Restriction], the original function of the [Justice Rope] item is amplified in two extreme ways: on the one hand, increasing its quantity and on the other hand, reducing its recognition of wrongdoing.

On the other hand, the focus is on reducing their number and strengthening their ability to identify wrongdoing.

Clearly, Ian succeeded.

"Miss Xia Ya, please plant this seed in the ground."

Ian opened the lid, took out a seed, and handed it to the other person.

Xia Ya's pretty face flushed, and she nodded gently, completely cooperating with the other party.
