Returning to an Old Haunt

Most of the people working at V5 are selected and promoted from official institutions of a superpower.

The Fills Family is able to manipulate politicians in various countries because V5 cannot interfere with their activities.

However, it is not easy to insert personnel into V5.

They have strict standards and assessments for personnel backgrounds, information, and abilities to ensure that the core departments are all "their own people." For this reason, the Fills Family has been very careful in operating informants and spies in V5 over the years, making sure that they will not be exposed.

The number of people is also quite small.

We can't let our hands run wild like we do when training new political figures.

Generally speaking, the stronger a nation is, the greater the obstacles to carrying out its plans.

The same is true of the Kakin Empire.

In recent years, members of the Fills Family have established themselves within V5. Although they haven't been given important positions, at least they haven't been suspected... What they lack is an opportunity! Going forward, the Fills Family can leverage their influence in certain countries to provide these individuals with good work projects and content, while creating some 'trouble' to pave the way for their advancement.

As long as you are careful not to reveal anything or arouse suspicion, it will be fine.

The details can be left to David and Fills Lily; Oboro doesn't need to worry about them.

The underworld has become Crownless Nation, and now... this is what he needs to do.

There is only one.

The Kakin Empire!

After some time, the gang warfare that had been raging around the world finally showed signs of stabilizing, though it was not completely over yet.

The armed forces led by the Shadow Beasts controlled the underground situation on various continents, but some families were still unwilling to submit and wanted to establish their own independent power.

Furthermore, similar to the situation in the Kakin Empire, the Fills Family's ability to intervene was relatively limited, and the local gangs were independent and unaffected by the Black Tide Incident.

The countries infiltrated by the Fills Family's influence are only the majority, not all... Some royal families or nobles in these countries still need to find ways to establish contact with them, which is also part of the plan.

In addition, Kurapika has left the Fills Family and his current whereabouts are unknown.

But Long guessed that the best way for him to take back the Scarlet Eyes of his people from the Fourth Prince of Kakin was still to integrate into the underworld... to join a gang family within the Kakin Empire. Only in this way could he have a chance to get in touch with the royal family.

Meanwhile, Gon and Leorio had already gone to the Zoldyck Family to find Killua. The three parted ways, and Leorio began his solitary journey of seeking medical treatment and training.

Afterwards, Gon and Killua unsurprisingly went to the Heavens Arena.

These were all pieces of information he obtained from Illumi and Wing.

As for Hisoka, he's as if he's disappeared.

Uvogin and Nobunaga escaped unscathed in the waters Hero Island, causing very limited casualties to the Fills Family.

Their main objective was simply to distract the Fills Family on the night of the Black Tide Incident.

It's not about fighting to the bitter end.

If Hisoka hadn't done anything to Machi, the woman would probably have already met with Uvogin.

After giving David some instructions and explanations, Long left the family residence.

He revisited the place, returning to where his destiny began.

Heavens Arena! Before setting off for the Kakin Empire, Oboro planned to visit Gon and Killua.

Furthermore, Wing called several times, praising the two little ones' talents, even saying that... the two kids' potential was even more dazzling than that of Oboro in the past.

"Nothing has changed... still so many people."

The next day, Oboro stood in the plaza at the Heavens Arena, gazing at the towering building that seemed to pierce the clouds, and couldn't help but sigh.

The surrounding area was filled with a surging crowd of people, most of whom were tourists or fighters who had come to see the place.

There were long queues at the entrance to the Heavens Arena, indicating that business was booming.

"That Hisoka guy, he wouldn't be here too, would he...?"

It's June now. As Wing mentioned before, Gon and Killua have learned Nen and are currently training on the 200th floor.

According to memory, he will most likely fight against Hisoka, Gon, and others, while the first battle between Gon and Hisoka will take place as early as the beginning of July.

He then walked toward the gates of the Heavens Arena.

"Mr. Oboro... is so amazing!"

At this moment, in a room in the Heavens Arena.

Wing is training Gon and Killua, and is also training Nen with Zushi.

After a while, Gon lay on the ground covered in sweat, his eyes shining with admiration as he sighed.

He and Killua have already learned the basics of all Nen techniques. Now, all they need to do is 'release' it, which is the most crucial step in Nen training.

The reason Gon said that was because Wing told him and Killua about Oboro's deeds at the Heavens Arena many years ago.

"The two of you were able to climb to the 200th floor so quickly, thanks to him."

Wing sat to the side, glancing at the two who had calmed down and looked exhausted, and smiled with narrowed eyes, "Back then, it was because Long kept advancing through the floors at an astonishing speed that the Heavens Arena was forced to change its rules... After winning at the bottom floor, the referee can directly promote the contestant to the fiftieth floor or above, and gradually fight across floors."

"Since Killua said he came to the Heavens Arena when he was a child, if we calculate the time, Oboro should have left here not long ago... So, Killua should have heard some things."

"I have no doubt about his abilities... My father and grandfather also said that if Oboro were to become an assassination target, it would be extremely troublesome."

Killua wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced at Gon. "I was referring to Oboro's personality. It's awful... insidious."

"Although he seems quite kind on the surface... he is actually a ruthless killer, and if you are not careful, you may be sold out by him without even knowing it."

"Killua seems to have always harbored a great deal of hostility towards Oboro-san..."

Gon scratched his head and smiled awkwardly at Wing.

The two knew that Wing and Long seemed to be friends.

"Hmph, I'm just stating the facts. Only you would be so foolish as to think he's a good person."

Killua crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask him."

Killua pointed at Wing again.

He believed that Wing must know Long very well.

Gon also looked at the teacher in front of him.

Let me put it this way...

Wing pondered for a moment, carefully choosing his words, and held up one finger. "If Hisoka, whom you saw before, is at this level, then Oboro... is at least at this level."

Wing first raised one hand half a meter in the air, and then when he spoke of Long, he raised the height to one meter.

"At first glance, it seems that Hisoka is twice as strong as Hisoka, but that's not the case... Once Nen user reaches a certain level, it becomes increasingly difficult to improve. Starting from half a meter, every few centimeters can represent a qualitative leap... You haven't passed the Hunter x Hunter Exams yet, you haven't graduated, and you haven't participated in the Association's affairs as qualified Hunter x Hunter. Therefore, you cannot yet understand what Oboro has accomplished and the heights he has reached."

"Nen is closely related to a person's spirit and will... It is the embodiment of personal will. In other words, if Nen user, then... their personality in a certain aspect must be exceptional. Moreover, the more extreme and pure the personality, the more unimaginable the things that such a person can do."

"No powerful Nen user is a fool... Even if they lose their Nen, they are still far superior to ordinary people."

"The world of Hunter x Hunter is complex and not simple... Oboro must have gone through all kinds of hardships and obstacles to get to where he is today. Only in this way can he be tempered and grow. And a person like him, every action and thought... because of the strength of his Nen, his will and pursuit will inevitably be accompanied by a strong personal style, and he will not give up easily... Therefore, he will do anything that is beneficial to his purpose."

"I think that's why Killua thinks Oboro is a bad person."

Wing analyzed.
