As for the weak, they would only turn their targets towards those weaker than them to vent.

Not to mention the wicked~

Therefore, Mog had no psychological burden when he dealt with these guys.

Incidentally, he also brought forward this famous quote that would later make Meteor City renowned throughout the world.

Hmm, in the original manga plot, the Troupe's flashback chapter specifically mentioned this:

"Before Meteor City reached a cooperation with the mafia, providing manpower in exchange for safety, hundreds of victims would appear each year."

"And seventy percent of them were children under fifteen years old."

"Later, as the connection with the mafia deepened, someone among the Elders of Meteor City awakened [Nen ability], and thus vows were born, forming the [Rule of Retaliation]: [An eye for an eye]."

"We do not refuse anything, but do not think of taking anything from us."

"A place where those who are not recognized as human, the persecuted, live. As the world gradually equates the name Meteor City with terror, the Phantom Troupe was born..."

In other words, this declaration would only appear later when Meteor City began to gain notoriety worldwide.

And the place where it appeared~~~

It was precisely as Mog said, requiring an event to make the world remember and deepen its impression: the [Homeless Man's Wrongful Imprisonment Bombing Case].

Approximately six years from now, a certain country would suspect a homeless man without identification of murder and arrest him.

After verifying his identity, the homeless man had no nationality and no proof of social existence.

He himself claimed to be a resident of Meteor City, but that country forcibly prosecuted the homeless man who denied the charges.

The court found him guilty without giving him a chance to explain.

Three years later, a drug-abusing passerby was arrested, and his other crimes were gradually exposed... proving the homeless man was innocent.

Immediately following this incident, the police officer, judge, prosecutor, eyewitness, jury, lawyer... all 31 people involved in his wrongful imprisonment were killed.

Regarding the method of murder, it was said that they carried switch-type bombs and took their opponents with them, virtually indistinguishable from suicide.

According to eyewitnesses, they shook hands with their opponents with a smile before the bombs exploded.

31 people, in different locations, were blown up simultaneously.

And this declaration was left next to the victim's incomplete and mutilated body.

Furthermore, the ability that caused this bombing case was the [Paired Destroyers] that Chrollo and Hisoka used during their great battle in Heaven's Arena.

Nen ability: [Paired Destroyers]

Ability description: The backs of both hands have sun and moon markings. The left hand imprints the sun, and the right hand imprints the moon. When the imprints touch each other, they explode. The imprints themselves can be completed in an instant, but it takes 3-5 seconds of continuous contact with the target to maximize the power.

When residents of Meteor City are threatened outside, the Elders of Meteor City will use [Paired Destroyers] to turn their compatriots into bombs and issue a death notice to the aggressor.

In Chrollo's words, in the eyes of that Elder, humans and puppets were essentially no different.

And coincidentally, in Chrollo's own eyes, it was the same~~~

"Do not refuse, but do not think of taking away, huh..."

In the Elder's room, Elder Babagra was still savoring those words.

"It is indeed a declaration that perfectly suits Meteor City~~~"

A smile that was difficult to discern finally appeared on his wrinkled face:

"Let me see how far you can go."

"I am very much looking forward to seeing your results."

"And if you truly succeed, I guarantee you will receive rewards far beyond your imagination~~~"

"Mog, where did you guys go?!"

When Mog and Father Zhol returned to the church, the Troupe members who had been waiting quietly there immediately surrounded them.

Uvogin, in particular, asked boisterously.

"We went to discuss some matters."

Mog smiled, then looked around and saw the lingering joy on their faces from the end of the performance.

Well, everyone except Feitan, as usual.

"Alright, I have something to tell you all now."

He lightly clapped his hands.

"Whatever it is, just say it. As long as I, the great Uvogin, can do it, I'll do it for you!!"

Uvogin, still patting his chest, cheerfully guaranteed.

However~~~

When he saw Mog's calm expression, his smile slowly faded.

And not just him, but the other Troupe members as well.

They also noticed Mog's expression at that moment and, one by one, gradually quieted down.

Chrollo looked at Mog's expression, then at Father Zhol, who stood silently beside him.

He seemed to have realized something as well.

"I know everyone yearns for the outside world, eager to spread your creations and performances to every corner of it..."

Mog gazed calmly at everyone. "But have you ever considered the dangers of the outside world?"

"More precisely, the malicious individuals out there."

Seeing the Troupe members all looking thoughtful, Mog continued...

Chapter 059 [Surveillance Robot]! The Troupe Makes a Move!! Capturing the Intruding Criminals!!

"Undeniably, there are many kind-hearted and good people outside."

"But there are even more scumbags who don't see people as people, who trample on lives, bully the weak, and commit all sorts of evil..."

Sarasa suddenly raised his small hand. "Like the people who have been harassing Meteor City recently?"

"Precisely."

Mog nodded. "And that's just the tip of the iceberg."

"They've been abducting the children of Meteor City, and no one knows what they'll do to them."

"Based on my understanding of the outside world..."

Mog paused, but then spoke truthfully. "They're very likely just using these children as tools to vent their own desires, for example..."

"For example, satisfying their cruel urges to harm others, thereby gaining pleasure..."

Machi said calmly at this point.

"There are people like that within Meteor City too."

Indeed, despite Machi and the others not being very old, they had already witnessed the cruel side of Meteor City.

"So, we're already mentally prepared for these things."

Phinks blew his nose. "Once we're outside, we won't actively seek trouble with others~~~"

"But if someone like that decides to target us..."

Feitan, who usually remained silent, had a hint of ferocity flash in his eyes. "Then we won't be easy to deal with either."

Before following Mog, these two had been a notorious duo in Meteor City.

Only Sarasa thought they were good people, even asking Phinks to hand out snacks.

While Phinks and the others did have a kind side, it was only towards their own people.

When facing outsiders with ill intentions~~~

Would they be met with smiles, or with fists and knives!!

Nobunaga didn't say much, merely adjusting the katana at his waist. He was never without his sword.

"We won't let those people do as they please."

The older brother, Franklin, stated firmly and deeply.

"Or, after sensing malice~~~"

The cunning Shalnark pondered. "Could we strike first?"

Pakunoda nodded in agreement, supporting the opinions and views of the others.

Protecting themselves and the team was perfectly fine in her eyes.

On the other hand, the gentle Shira, seeing them like this, hesitated to speak.

"Go on, Mog..."

Uvogin's face showed a timely grimace. "Who are we killing?!"

He wasn't an idiot. Mog bringing this topic up suddenly must mean he'd encountered some crisis or issue!!

He, the great Uvogin, was already prepared for it!!

"Is this related to the recent frequent kidnappings and disappearances of children in Meteor City?"

Chrollo keenly sensed this.

"Yes, I just went to see the Elder..."

Mog nodded slightly. "And learned about the current situation in Meteor City."

"I think we can use a group like this to test our skills first..."

Mog's eyes deepened slightly.

"This way, we can find out in advance how intense the malice of these inhuman beings outside truly is."

"And how we should deal with such individuals..."

Under the dark sky, thick black clouds shrouded the area.

On the road below, littered with piles of garbage, a black van drove slowly.
