Becoming a Gadget Master Starting from Hunter x Hunter

She wasn't surprised by Chrollo's Aura; having witnessed Morin's aura capacity and malicious Nen, Chrollo's aura couldn't stir his emotions.

"Negotiations are basically out of the question."

Chrollo calmly retracted his white aura. "Then there's only one path left."

"A prison break?"

Morin said, echoing the thought.

"Exactly."

Chrollo looked at Morin and smiled. "With the strength we currently possess, we'll have to resort to force to rescue Uvogin."

"However, if we do this, we'll offend the Elder Council, and it will be difficult for us to continue staying in Meteor City."

"I have no problem with that."

Machi was the first to respond. "Coincidentally, Morin and I have been discussing leaving this place and seeing the outside world."

"What about you guys?"

She turned to look at Franklin, Pakunoda, and Feitan.

"We can't just abandon Uvogin and the others."

Franklin showed a simple, honest smile.

"These two really do cause trouble."

Feitan moved his fingers again, his voice a little low. "It's been a while since I've killed anyone."

Pakunoda brushed a strand of golden hair behind her ear, saying nothing.

But her unmoving feet clearly indicated her stance.

"Then it's settled."

Chrollo clasped his hands together. "I've also been thinking about leaving Meteor City recently, which aligns perfectly with Morin and Machi's thoughts."

He smiled. "If we're going to break them out, we'll need to make some preparations. Also, after rescuing Uvogin and Nobunaga, I have a few small ideas I'd like to discuss with everyone."

"Regarding the issue of what to do after leaving Meteor City."

He smiled, but a flicker of seriousness crossed his eyes.

"First, regarding the rescue operation for Uvogin and the others..."

"Leave Uvogin and Nobunaga to me?"

Morin suddenly spoke up.

Instantly, all eyes focused on Morin.

"After all, Uvogin's loud commotion was partly because I helped him open his Aura Nodes,"

Morin said with a smile. "I bear some responsibility for this matter, and the main source of the problem is me, so let me resolve it."

"Can you?"

Seeing that Morin was serious, Chrollo asked softly, "You know, there are quite a few skilled Nen users in Meteor City."

"Especially within the Elder Council."

He was reminding Morin not to think that just because he had awakened his Nen ability, he was the strongest in Meteor City.

The number of truly powerful and hidden individuals was considerable.

Machi also looked at Morin with a calm gaze upon hearing this.

"Trust me."

After saying these three words to Machi, he turned back to Chrollo. "I know."

Morin quickened his pace slightly, and then he saw the tall building.

It stood out conspicuously among the surrounding independent, low-rise houses.

"The ancient sage said, 'Work hard.'"

Gazing at the tall building in the distance, Morin rested his chin on his hand.

"But speaking of which, it's true that both of them are straightforward, but with Uvogin's seemingly rough yet meticulous personality, and Nobunaga covering him, they shouldn't have gotten so arrogant and messed up."

"If it were three days ago, it might have been difficult to save you, but..."

Looking at the two new items he had drawn from his Four-Dimensional Pocket over the past two days.

"You're lucky."

Morin's figure disappeared into the street.

When he reappeared, he was directly in front of the building.

At the entrance stood a security guard dressed in black, wearing sunglasses, vigilantly observing everything around him.

Morin, however, acted as if none of this existed and walked straight towards the main entrance.

The security guard noticed Morin's arrival immediately, but he showed no other signs of alertness or caution.

He didn't ask who Morin was or what he was doing there, but simply nodded slightly:

"You're here?"

Morin nodded: "I'm here."

Judging by their tone, they sounded like old friends who knew each other intimately.

Passersby who happened to be walking near the Elder's house saw this scene and exchanged bewildered glances.

"Who is this kid? A friend of Luke's?"

"Friend? The tone is similar, but the age doesn't match, does it? Could he be... a relative?"

"That doesn't seem right either. Luke is alone, where would he get relatives? Is he a new security guard or bodyguard hired by the Elder? I heard two big guys caused trouble here before."

"Would you hire a kid who hasn't even grown his fuzz as a bodyguard? Besides, even though they caused trouble, no one died, so why would they need a new bodyguard?"

"Who says they wouldn't? I heard the outside world is full of people like that; as long as you're strong, who cares how old you are!!"

A few people glanced curiously, whispered a few words, and then, thinking that the Elders acted with deep meaning, shook their heads and left without further speculation.

To them, this scene was only a minor curiosity, not enough to warrant stopping and watching.

Meanwhile, inside the main entrance, Morin was gently touching a strange egg emitting a green glow.

Item: Cuckoo Egg (also known as Cuckoo Egg).

Effect: This is a secret item that can change your identity. As long as you carry it, you can become a member of any family you wish.

This was one of the items Morin had drawn from the sign-in over the past two days, an emerald green egg about the size of a pebble.

With this item, others would perceive Morin as a member of their own family.

In a way, the effect of this Cuckoo Egg was quite similar to the game-breaking items like the [Devil's Passport], which could do anything, and the [Omni-Pass], which allowed you to go anywhere without issue.

In Doraemon's words, it was a very cunning item.

Of course, when it was in effect, the consumption of Nen and Aura could not be ignored.

Fortunately, Morin had previously set up Restraints and Vows, which drastically reduced the consumption. Otherwise, Morin truly wouldn't have been able to hold on until he rescued Uvogin and the others.

With this Cuckoo Egg, Morin's arrival at this building felt as if he were returning to his own home.

People he encountered along the way nodded at him, and some even greeted him warmly.

Morin responded in kind all the way, arriving at the place where Uvogin and the others were imprisoned.

It was a secluded underground prison, damp and messy, with a faint stench in the air.

Inside the room, only the cheapest oil lamp cast a faint candlelight.

Uvogin sat with his head bowed, bound by chains, while beside him, leaning against the wall, Nobunaga was also tied up.

"Uvogin, couldn't you have used your brain before acting?"

Nobunaga was complaining for what felt like the umpteenth time.

He thought they could have left earlier, but now they were miserable prisoners.

It was good that their minds hadn't completely snapped.

"Who told that bastard to mock Morin and Machi so much."

Uvogin had an expression that said, "I'd do it again," "You can tolerate those words, but I can't!"

027 — A Big Commotion

"Who says I can tolerate them!"

Nobunaga retorted, "If you hadn't punched so fast, I would have already swung my blade and cut that guy down!"

"Could you have even cut him?"

Uvogin glanced at him sideways. "You've never even killed a chicken!!"

"I'll say it again, there are no live chickens in Meteor City, NONE!!"

Nobunaga roared in anger.

Even in the dungeon, the two hadn't forgotten to bicker.

"Your relationship is really quite good, isn't it?"

A light, teasing chuckle came from the side.

"This voice is..."

Uvogin's mouth instantly split into a grin.

"Morin!!"

Morin, weighing the Cuckoo Egg in his hand, appeared before Uvogin and Nobunaga, causing both of them to exclaim.

", it's about to start."

"I'm here?"
