Morin said with a smile, "Surprised? Unexpected?"

He also glanced at the cuckoo egg. It wasn't glowing, meaning it hadn't worked.

This meant that Uvogin and Nobunaga already considered Morin one of their own and didn't need the cuckoo egg's power anymore.

This made Morin feel quite warm inside.

It wasn't for nothing that I risked such a huge... well, maybe not that huge risk to save you.

"Are you here to save us, Morin?" Nobunaga asked excitedly.

"What else?"

Morin stepped forward and looked at the cell door. "You don't mean I was captured like you, do I?"

The cell door seemed to be made of some kind of fine iron, very hard.

It could be opened with Nen, but it would take considerable effort and drain a lot of energy.

Fortunately, before coming in, Morin had obtained the prison key from the warden, who had even patted him kindly on the shoulder.

"I heard everything you just said," Morin said as he used the key to unlock the cell door. "Who was mocking me? And what were they saying?"

"Uh..."

Hearing this, Uvogin and Nobunaga exchanged glances and, with their usual tacit understanding, fell silent again, only managing a dry chuckle.

"I say," Morin opened the cell door, "since you were talking about me, and I'm a party involved in this incident, you have to tell me what's going on, right?"

"It's nothing major," Uvogin said, seeing that Morin had put it that way. He couldn't hide it anymore.

As he struggled against the chains, he explained, "There was this bastard who had been eyeing Machi. Then, after Machi brought you home, this guy started saying nasty things about you on the street. I got angry and went to reason with him."

Nobunaga's eye twitched slightly.

The word "reason" coming from Uvogin's mouth felt so wrong!

"Continue," Morin prompted, tilting his chin up.

"Then we were both brought here. Elder originally scolded us and was about to let us go," Nobunaga continued. "But that guy, being the annoying piece of work he is, came over and whispered bad things about you to us."

Uvogin's expression turned somewhat terrifying. "He said Machi was a... and you were a...*******."

Words that couldn't be described were spat out by Uvogin.

Morin listened with a completely calm expression.

"Although fighting is common in Meteor City," Nobunaga gritted his teeth, feeling indignant, "if I don't chop off his head after he said that, I won't be able to let go of this anger!"

"I understand," Morin's expression was calm for the first time.

It was so calm that it felt frightening to Uvogin and Nobunaga.

"Did that Elder hear it?"

"He probably did," Nobunaga thought for a moment. "After all, that person wasn't speaking quietly. Even I, standing nearby, could hear him, and with Elder's hearing..."

"So he definitely heard it," Morin nodded. "And what about the person who said those things?"

"Nothing happened to him!!" Uvogin spat. "He was the one who sent us in, and he even kicked me in the face. He was incredibly arrogant."

"Understood." Morin turned and walked towards the exit. "Let's go."

"Take me to that person."

"Uh..." Nobunaga, who had just regained his freedom, hesitated. "We're in the enemy's territory right now. If we just walk out openly..."

"I've wanted to do this for so long!!"

Uvogin shouted, interrupting Nobunaga's words, his face flushed with excitement.

"I've always wanted to smash this building, and today is a perfect day for it."

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, are you guys crazy?"

Nobunaga said this with his mouth, but his fingers were already moving.

"Don't you want to get your sword back, Nobunaga?"

Mori said without looking back.

"That's what I said... Alright, after we get the sword back, we'll leave immediately. I don't want to keep messing around with you guys." Nobunaga said this with his mouth, but the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up.

"If that's the case,"

A coldness slowly spread in Mori's eyes, "then let's have a big fight."

"Oh!!"

Uvogin responded excitedly. He was trembling with excitement, feeling like his blood was about to boil!!

"Let's go!"

Mori flashed and rushed out first.

Uvogin and Nobunaga followed closely behind.

A big commotion was about to begin.

02If we don't set it on fire, wouldn't that be a shame?!

Causing trouble in the building where the Elder lived, a place filled with many Nen experts, was practically suicide for Morin, Uvogin, and Nobunaga's current strength.

But~

If they had tools, then anything was possible.

And Morin happened to have a tool that could get them out of trouble at any time.

On the roof of the building, in a small, somewhat ancient and dark room.

An old man sat on a sofa, wearing a fur coat made of some unknown animal, holding a wine glass. He gently swirled it, closed his eyes, and savored the red wine inside, appearing to be in a good mood.

However, he seemed to remember something unpleasant and snorted coldly.

"It would have been even better if those two idiots hadn't damaged one of my collectibles."

His expression turned grim, and the red wine in his hand no longer tasted good.

"I'm going to sell those two to the gangs outside and get a good price for them, at least to reduce some of the losses."

He tilted his head back and drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp.

And just then?

Boom!!

A huge noise startled him.

"Cough, cough!!"

The wine glass in his mouth went down his windpipe, making him cough until his face turned red.

"What's going on?!"

Once he could breathe, he roared loudly towards the door.

A voice immediately replied from outside:

"The prisoners locked in the dungeon have escaped and are causing destruction inside the building."

"Escaped? Destruction?!"

The old man became furious, "What are you guys good for, not even being able to watch two people?!"

"Yes! We are doing our best to apprehend them!!"

"After you catch them, break both their legs and arms first!"

The old man sat back in his seat. "Immediately send more people to capture them. If there's any more trouble and my house is further damaged, I'll exile all of you!!"

"Yes!"

A tense reply came from outside the door, followed by hurried footsteps.

Can't even drink in peace.

He tugged at his collar, grabbed the remaining half bottle of red wine on the table, and poured it directly into his mouth.

Gulp, gulp, gulp~

Below.

"So satisfying! This is truly satisfying!!"

After experiencing imprisonment, Uvogin immediately unleashed his destructive desires.

This building was at least six or seven stories high. Uvogin and the others were in the basement, and once they reached the first floor, they began their destruction.

They smashed anything they saw and beat up any bodyguards in black they encountered.

With Nen wrapped around his body, his destructive power increased by thirty percent!

The Nen ability users inside were mostly located on the upper floors.

Hearing the commotion below, they all rushed down, heading towards the source.

"Had your fill?" Morin asked.

"Absolutely!!" Uvogin roared, reveling in his freedom.

"Nobunaga, did you find your sword?"

"I found it!" Nobunaga appeared from some room.

"They probably thought my sword was trash and just tossed it aside," he said, tightly gripping the supposedly worthless blade in his hand. To others it was a broken sword, but to him, a samurai, it was a part of his life.

"There are experts coming down from upstairs. Let's speed things up," Morin instructed.
