Recognizing Argo's voice, Moro thought the intelligence work must have progressed.

As for Argo's somewhat unique opening, Moro was too lazy to bother with it.

His silent reaction caused the call to go cold for a moment.

Argo scratched his greasy hair and had no choice but to get straight to the point to break the awkward silence.

"Big spender, your current situation is not good."

"I can see that."

Listening to Argo's reminder, Moro looked down at the corpses beneath him.

The journey from Yorknew City to the outskirts was only about an hour.

The fact that Argo could gather some crucial intelligence in this time was enough to prove his ability.

Thinking this, Moro's gaze shifted, and he quickly glanced at the road in the distance.

Continuing along this road would lead to a wilderness area.

His private shooting range, which he had paid for, was located in that wilderness.

But now it seemed that the shooting range was no longer safe, so there was no point in going there.

Future daily training...

He would have to find another way.

Argo was initially puzzled how Moro had "seen" it, but quickly realized.

"You were attacked?"

"Yes, you almost made twenty billion for nothing."

"That would have been too unfort... Hmm, I shouldn't say that. If you had died too easily, not only would the money have been burning a hole in my pocket, but I would have also been at risk of being implicated."

Argo seriously refuted Moro's statement.

She had just taken on such a big deal, and then the client died after turning right out the door.

Would she still be able to do business after that?

"Alright, let's talk business."

Moro wanted to see how much Argo had found out.

Upon hearing this, Argo immediately entered work mode.

"The people tracking you are the Gambino family and someone named Clyde. Big spender, you should know about the Ten Dons, right?"

"I know."

Moro's eyes flickered slightly.

Argo continued, "Gambino is the surname of one of the Ten Dons."

"..."

Moro was a little surprised, but quickly calmed down.

The Ten Dons—

The ten highest leaders of the world's mafia, controlling mafia forces in ten regions across six continents, and also the organizers of the grand Yorknew City auction every year.

If it was the Ten Dons' business...

The ability to casually "issue" death certificates to others, and Molena's business dealings with them, made some sense.

Moro remembered that at the Yorknew City auction three years later, Chrollo would commission Illumi to assassinate the Ten Dons.

To eliminate the Ten Dons, Illumi had even invited an ancestor from his family at that time.

And to find the Ten Dons' meeting place within the time limit, he had to enlist the help of Kalluto, who possessed a tracking Nen ability.

From this perspective, although there was a factor of "racing against time," the fact that Illumi could enlist the old monster Maha was enough to show that the Ten Dons were not that easy to deal with.

Moro suddenly wondered if Kalluto had awakened his tracking Nen ability by now.

With his ability to help, finding Feitan would not be difficult.

And what about Silva and Zeno of the Zoldyck family? He didn't know if they accepted kidnapping requests besides assassination.

And speaking of finding people...

Moro's mind flashed with Palm's image.

Deep Sea Fish's Conjuration specialization ability was also a very useful tracking ability.

It's just that he was unsure about Palm's situation at this time, and Palm's master, Nobunaga, was very vigilant about Palm using her abilities.

Let alone how to explain where he learned about Palm's Deep Sea Fish ability, just paying money would likely not make Nobunaga budge.

"However, according to the information I've found, this matter is not being led by Gambino, but by his son, Nolan Gambino."

Argo's voice pulled Moro back from his thoughts.

The son of a Ten Don...?

Moro paused slightly, then heard Argo continue:

"Nolan, leveraging his father's influence, established a business called the 'Menu' in a region protected by the Ten Dons' reputation."

"On the surface, it's about setting up hospitals in various territories, but in reality, they're involved in human trafficking."

"That so-called Menu is about breaking down a 'person' into various commodities with trading value."

"This way, buyers can choose the goods they need according to the Menu. For example, organs, blood—things derived from the human body. Some buyers even purchase complete individuals for... experimentation."

"And for this type of trade, the most crucial aspect is matching the conditions. Moreover, the clients this organization deals with are no simple people."

Argo hesitated at this point, slowing his speech.

"Big spender... If you have no conflict with Nolan, then his subordinates will investigate you, and have likely already made a move against you. It's probably because you've been 'matched'."

"Is that so..."

Moro remained noncommittal.

In the beginning, it was most likely because some buyer needed something from him, which is why he was forcibly put on the Menu.

But the attack tonight...

It was probably no longer a simple matter of a buyer's demand, but rather that his act of killing the transport truck drivers had been discovered.

It's just that Argo was unaware of this, so at most, he assumed that some part of Moro could match the needs of one of the buyers, which was why Nolan's subordinates made a move against him.

But the problem here is—

At the time, Gale had helped resettle those piglets. So even if Nolan investigated this matter afterward, and it was clear that Gale hadn't specifically targeted the transport truck but had stumbled upon it by chance...

Then anyone with a brain wouldn't seek revenge against the Twelve Zodiacs for a truckload of piglets.

After all, someone who could make a niche business like the 'Menu' grow and prosper would surely understand how to assess the situation and not lose sight of the bigger picture over minor details.

Unless the potential value of this truckload of piglets was worth Nolan relentlessly pursuing them.

Assuming that's the case...

Then Nolan likely first determined Gale's involvement and its significance in the matter, which is why he felt confident enough to continue tracking the escaped piglets.

Moro believed that it was probably Gale's accidental intervention that prevented Nolan from tracking him down immediately.

In that case, once Nolan's subordinates found other piglets, his act of killing the two transport drivers would be impossible to conceal.

"Argo."

"Hmm?"

"Help me investigate something right now."

To confirm his suspicions, Moro needed to know the current situation of the other piglets.

He handed this task over to Argo.

Ten minutes later.

Argo sent over a video.

Moro clicked on it.

Instantly, agonizing screams echoed across the plain through the phone's speaker.

It was footage of a living person being tortured.

Moro only watched a portion of it before quietly closing the video.

The person being tortured in the footage was one of the piglets who had been on the same transport truck as him.

Moro's expression was blank, but as he glanced at the back of Vaughn's head, who had already become a corpse, his eyes turned particularly icy.
