Chrollo: "..."

"Then how long would it take before I can know?"

Ten-year-old Chrollo did not want to give up just like that. "And understanding the principles behind it shouldn't have much to do with age, right?"

He glanced at Machi beside him. "Machi is two years younger than me, but she should already know about it, right?"

As expected of Chrollo. With just a few observations and a handful of words, he had already sorted out the general situation.

"That's right. Knowing the reason behind it really has nothing to do with age."

Mog continued, "But when you're still young and your physical abilities haven't developed yet, learning about this power would only bring you unnecessary worries."

"I understand. Our bodies haven't fully developed yet, so we can't come into contact with this power, is that it?"

Chrollo understood instantly. "And if we learn about it beforehand while being unable to access it, it'll keep tugging at our hearts and disrupt our state of mind. Is that what you mean?"

It was like a starving man seeing delicious food right in front of him but being unable to reach it, left scratching at his ears and cheeks in frustration.

"That's right. Exactly."

"Then don't worry, Mog..."

Chrollo relaxed slightly, and a smile appeared on his young face. "I'm not that fragile."

"And I'm very rational."

He looked at Mog, his clear eyes becoming sincere again.

"You told Uvogin and Machi because you trusted their mindsets."

"I think I won't be any worse than them in that regard."

Before Mog could say anything, Chrollo smiled brightly once more.

"Of course, I also know that Mog, Uvogin, and Machi are all close to one another."

"I'm merely a collaborator who just joined."

"From any perspective, I'm still not qualified to learn about this kind of power."

"I'm already deeply grateful that Mog was willing to tell me this much and let me know that such a strange power exists in this world."

Chrollo returned to looking like a sunny, cheerful boy.

"Through our upcoming cooperation, I'll let Mog see my sincerity and know that I'm someone worthy of trust."

"When we can trust each other, I'll sincerely ask Mog to teach me about this power."

Chrollo's words rang firm and resolute.

Mog also looked deeply at Chrollo.

He was rational and had not let this newly heard-of power blind him.

He had ideas and had not let greed disturb his mindset.

He knew his limits. He knew Mog did not trust him yet, and he did not force the issue.

He was honest enough to state directly that he would show his sincerity and earn Mog's trust.

It could be said that Chrollo had an extremely clear judgment of himself and the current situation.

He also knew what he should do, what he wanted to do, and what he was capable of doing.

That alone was already exceptionally rare.

Not to mention that he was only ten years old.

So Father Zhol had not chosen him without reason.

While Mog and Chrollo were talking,

the others kept their heads down and ate, but they had their ears perked up as they listened carefully.

In the end, Mog still did not mention Nen ability.

Well, he had told Uvogin, Phinks, and the others before because they had already experienced the benefits brought by his [Inventions].

They had also gathered around Mog and been drawn in by him, forming a small group.

That made them one of their own. Naturally, there was no problem telling those founding members of the small group.

There was nothing shameful about sticking together.

But now that Mog's strength had grown and their small group had taken initial shape,

Chrollo bringing his own companions in did not mean they could expect the same treatment.

Providing them with food and ensuring their logistics was enough to ease the estrangement and resistance between both sides.

That would allow them to truly cooperate later on.

Right now, Franklin, Pakunoda, Shalnark, and the others all revolved around Chrollo, with him as their center.

If they were told about Nen ability now, they would still instinctively rally around Chrollo.

They would only think that Chrollo had obtained information about this power, rather than remember Mog's favor.

Mog would never do something like throwing meat buns to dogs.

Those who joined later naturally received different treatment from those who had been by Mog's side from the beginning.

Of course, that only applied to core matters involving Nen ability.

If he truly differentiated between them in terms of food—for instance, if Uvogin and the others ate delicious food while Franklin and the others ate junk—

then Franklin and the others would instead feel humiliated, breeding even more anger and resentment.

Therefore, this division needed to be kept within limits.

Once he grasped that balance, weakened Chrollo's influence within their small group, and established Mog's leading position,

then they could discuss Nen ability later.

Therefore, the group led by Uvogin, who had long known about Nen ability, showed no reaction.

Franklin and Shalnark, on the other hand, looked slightly confused.

But they also knew that they were still considered "outsiders," so they did not ask further.

And so, this first hearty breakfast shared by everyone together was fairly harmonious.

An entire basket of meat buns and vegetable buns was eaten clean.

After everyone had eaten their fill, Uvogin and Franklin finished everything off.

Even the remaining chicken soup was drunk down to the last drop.

After eating and drinking their fill, the next step was naturally to consider what they would film.

Mog was not joking. He truly intended to start filming.

Once filming began, it would give both him and this group an identity and a reason to be doing something.

That way, even after they went out into the outside world in the future, they could use it to obtain relevant identification and proof of employment.

And once filming began and Chrollo was brought in, they could gain the priest's support.

Whether it was borrowing equipment from the Church, filming scenes there, or organizing screenings within the Church,

Mog would have plenty of reasons to visit the Church, allowing him to use the [Power Booster Machine] to strengthen himself multiple times without anyone noticing.

Of course, there was one even more important point~~~

"I plan to design an inventor character into the story we film."

Mog revealed his true purpose. "That way, whenever the protagonists encounter a crisis or run into trouble, they can seek help from this [Inventor]."

"They'll receive the corresponding help, resolve their difficulties, and defeat the enemy."

Uvogin, Machi, Phinks, and Feitan all looked at Mog in unspoken agreement.

Well, he was not even trying to hide it anymore.

Clearly, Mog wanted to use his [Inventor] identity in the story for personal gain.

He wanted to use the protagonists' [Requests] to the [Inventor] to accomplish his own goals.

That was right. This was also the main reason Mog specifically wanted to make this film!!

He wanted to use the [Inventor] identity in the story to properly build up a stockpile of [Inventions] for himself!!!

"That won't be a problem. I can add and design the characters and plot for the script..."

Chrollo took out the pen and paper he carried with him and began writing things down.

"But what kind of production are we planning to make? A movie? A television series? Or an animated film?"

"And we'll need filming equipment too, like cameras."

"There are also the sets, models, costumes for filming, and so on..."

Chrollo raised questions as he wrote.

These were all fundamental issues that needed to be resolved for filming.

The others were completely lost as they listened, but Mog merely smiled easily.

"You don't need to worry about any of that. I already thought everything through and prepared it."

"Really?!"

Chrollo raised his head in surprise.

Then he saw a strange little camera appear in Mog's hand.

"We can use this for filming."
