Master Inventor from Hunter x Hunter

Among them, the infamous motorcycle gang of Phinks and Feitan had grabbed some from there.

Then, those who robbed were robbed in turn—it seemed they were later robbed by Uvogin and Machi.

Clearly, that was when the grudge was formed.

"No wonder Uvogin's been so energetic today."

Thinking this in his mind, Chrollo's face immediately showed a look of sudden realization:

"Looks like Uvogin got something good to eat today, that's why he has the strength to chase us!!"

"What?!"

Without a doubt, Chrollo's words directly hooked Phinks.

And fully stoked his anger: "That bastard, where did he snatch something good to eat from this time?!!"

Phinks gritted his teeth in hatred: "Not satisfied with robbing us, he's robbing others too?!"

"Why do all the good things have to be taken by that big idiot?!!"

The more Phinks thought about it, the angrier he got, and he directly stomped on the gas: "I'm going to find that fool and settle the score!!"

Phinks shouted, as if the scrapped motorcycle he'd found under him, plus the baseball bat in Feitan's hand, gave him a sense of security.

Making him completely forget his previous miserable experience of having his Sticky Rice Cake taken by Uvogin.

Full of confidence, he planned to give Uvogin a proper payback!!

Two against one, plus a motorcycle and a baseball bat—advantage is mine!!

"But settling scores with Uvogin is one thing..."

Phinks directly reached out a hand and thrust it in front of Chrollo:

"You still need to hand over the good stuff you got first, little Chrollo~!!"

Well, as a qualified robber, how could he miss any prey that came within reach?

Chrollo: "~~~~~~"

Seeing Phinks's increasingly "kind" expression, Chrollo silently took out what he had in his arms.

It was a videotape he'd fished out from this garbage heap.

"That's right~"

Phinks took it without even looking and stuffed it into his pocket:

"Next time, try to find something this good again, hahaha!!"

He grinned, then stomped on the gas.

With a roar, he charged straight toward Uvogin.

Seeing this, Chrollo didn't even look back, and with the silent Shalnark beside him, immediately got far away from there.

Well, even though the thing was taken, but~~~

Chrollo tightened his grip on the real good find in his arms.

He'd always liked to make multiple preparations.

For example, having long anticipated that someone would rob him like the mantis stalking the cicada with the oriole behind, he'd prepared a piece of junk in his arms to hide first.

When someone came to rob him, he'd hand over that junk.

After all, no one knew what he'd actually found.

In Meteor City, full of garbage heaps, finding trash was perfectly normal, wasn't it?

Thin and delicate as he was, how could he survive in Meteor City, crawling with thugs, without using his head?

Fooling those who only knew how to show off their muscles and brute strength, with no brains~~~

Like Phinks and Uvogin—they were just right!

"Uvogin~!!"

Just as Chrollo and the others were sneaking away, a roar came from behind:

"Give me back the Sticky Rice Cake you stole from me!!"

Hearing this, Chrollo and Shalnark couldn't help but run faster.

Of course, he didn't forget to look back.

And he saw Franklin wisely pulling out, also bruised and swollen, quickly running off.

Well, since someone had come to cause trouble for Uvogin and help block him, Franklin's mission was done—if not now, when would he run?

He wouldn't stubbornly fight Uvogin to the finish just to prove himself; that was the stupidest move.

In Meteor City, conserving your strength and keeping a healthy body was the most important thing!!

"Who else?!!"

Uvogin wiped the bloodstain on his face from the fight with Franklin.

He didn't bother with Franklin, who was fleeing with his head down, instead fixing his gaze on the arrogant duo now before him.

Once the two parked their motorcycle and swaggered up to him, "So it's you two bastards~~~"

Uvogin twitched the corner of his mouth, then bared his teeth in a grin.

"You mean you forgot about us?!!"

Phinks' forehead bulged with veins:

"I'm telling you, Uvogin..."

Phinks raised his arm, barely covered by his tattered clothes, and pointed straight at Uvogin's face:

"That Sticky Rice Cake you stole from us before—we're taking it back double!!"

"Sticky Rice Cake~~~"

At the mention of that food, Uvogin unconsciously smacked his lips.

The aroma of the Sticky Rice Cake he'd just eaten to fill his stomach after leaving Mog's room still lingered on his tongue, not yet faded.

"You bastard!!"

Phinks flew into a rage: "You're savoring it, aren't you?! That's savoring it, right?!"

It had been so long since Uvogin stole the Sticky Rice Cake from them—he must have eaten it ages ago.

Yet after Phinks brought it up, Uvogin actually dared to show a face of reminiscence?!

Chapter 013: [Restriction and Vow]! [Standing on the Shoulders of Giants]!!

What was this?!

In Phinks' eyes, it was a blatant provocation from Uvogin!!

What could be tolerated, even a wife couldn't stand it!!!

Phinks' fist, not yet the size of a sandbag, clenched tightly: "Don't think that just because you ate our Sticky Rice Cake, you can... huh?!"

Suddenly, Phinks' nose twitched, and he froze.

Why did a faint smell coming from Uvogin resemble the Sticky Rice Cake they'd stolen from other kids before?

That light, glutinous rice-like fragrance had left a deep impression on Phinks the first time he smelled it.

He still couldn't forget it to this day.

That was why he'd held a grudge against Uvogin for snatching the Sticky Rice Cake from his hands back then.

And he wasn't the only one who remembered that smell.

"That's right, it's the smell of Sticky Rice Cake."

From the back of the motorcycle, Feitan, carrying a baseball bat taller than himself, also spoke in a low voice.

Back then, they'd stolen the Sticky Rice Cake together, so of course they both remembered the smell!

Feitan's nose twitched as well, and his eyes narrowed as he stared at Uvogin.

A faint killing intent began to swirl within them.

"Sticky Rice Cake, that taste really wasn't bad~~~"

Seeing that he'd successfully riled up their anger, Uvogin grinned, thoroughly enjoying this act of pissing them off.

It also eased the frustration he'd felt after hitting a wall with Mog.

Sure enough, one of the best ways to find happiness was to shift your own anger and displeasure onto others.

"I savored it real good for you guys!!"

Boom!!

With Uvogin's suicidal taunt, Phinks and Feitan's fury exploded.

"I'll kill you right here today!!"

Phinks, burning with rage, howled as he swung his arm and charged forward, fist flying.

He didn't care why Uvogin still smelled like Sticky Rice Cake now!!

All he wanted was for Uvogin to die!!

Feitan gripped his baseball bat with both hands and followed closely behind.

"Bring it on!!"

Uvogin, instead of getting angry, was delighted, his spirits lifting as he roared:

"You think I'm scared of you?!"

"I haven't had my fill of fighting yet—come one, I'll beat one; come two, I'll take you both on!!"

With that, he charged straight at the duo with no less ferocity!!
