Temporarily Set Aside

Even though Oboro is in better condition, Beyond is not in a desperate situation and may still have some trump cards that he doesn't know about.

Therefore, if the two continue fighting, their fate is uncertain.

Now, suddenly, a group of Nen user have appeared. Although their numbers are small, only a dozen or so... they are enough to be the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Nen are very diverse, and some of the more special ones are even more difficult to defend against.

In this battle, he did not have overwhelming strength or advantage over Beyond.

Therefore, Oboro dared not take the risk.

Before the enemy's reinforcements could get close, a large number of ghostly figures were urged to scatter and the range of the Ghost Mist was expanded to obscure the enemy's vision as much as possible and weaken their perception.

Now, it's impossible for Beyond to easily break through the fog with his sword as he did at the beginning.

After all, his injuries were quite severe... and he still hasn't regained feeling in his other hand.

Bang! A terrifying flash of light appeared, and Oboro dodged it.

The figure immediately disappeared into the sea of fog.

They've vanished without a trace.

Meanwhile, a group of Beyond's accomplices leaped into the thick fog and rushed toward the source of the sound... but were blocked by a dense array of ghostly figures along the way. These ghosts had no physical form, and their abilities were not as strong as Beyond's, causing their spirits to fluctuate and their mental state to be affected.

By Beyond wanted to give chase... but in the end, he gave up.

Within this mist, everything is clearly visible to Oboro, and their every move is exposed to Oboro's vision... In this situation, it is extremely difficult to catch the other party.

Moreover, Oboro is in better condition than him.

If they had sent people to besiege Oboro from the beginning, given his physical condition at the time, he might have had a chance.

Now... it's too late.

After a while, several Nen user arrived at Beyond's side and were shocked when they saw his injuries.

I never expected it to be this bad... Oboro actually managed to beat Beyond like this!

Where are they?

One of them asked.

"They're gone..."

"By Beyond, I answered in a deep voice."

At this point, the fog began to thin and gradually dissipated as spiritual energy.

Everyone's vision instantly became clear.

Looking around, they realized that only their own people were present... the target was gone.

One of the Specialist Division withdrew his Nen, and the masks worn by the other companions fell off one after another... This was an ability used to disguise one's identity and avoid being recognized by Oboro.

"Why not just set up traps around the area beforehand? That would buy us a lot of time. Why do we have to send everyone here?"

One person was unhappy about Oboro's departure.

They should be able to successfully handle the variable of Oboro.

However, Beyond, this move was not included.

"With our capabilities, no matter how many traps we set, it won't be of any use to him... Moreover, we are only relatively safe if we are close to the battlefield. If we are too far away... I'm afraid we won't survive." Beyond didn't respond, but the other person beside him offered an explanation.

With someone Beyond around, at least they can keep Long in check... Otherwise, with their level of skill, they're just throwing their lives away.

He couldn't even use his Nen to pose a threat to Oboro.

Will he leave the Kakin Empire?

A woman frowned. "It seems that the Fills Family's plan to gain control of the royal family has undoubtedly failed... Will he accept that?"

"That kind of injury... it probably won't heal in a short time... If it were me, I would definitely run away first. After all, no one can guarantee that the royal family of Kakin won't make a move against him at this time... If the border is sealed off, even with the support of the mafia, it will be difficult to deal with."

"Furthermore, if this matter is exposed, it will have a significant impact on the Fills Family..."

"Don't think about it too much. These things... are none of our concern. They are matters for the king to consider."

Meanwhile, Nasubi Hui Guo Rou, sitting in the palace and drinking from a golden goblet, received a message from his subordinates.

Two maids stood beside him, gently fanning him with round fans.

"It failed..."

Hui Guo Rou sighed.

His plan was brilliant; he used Beyond to bring the Fills Family into his camp and make them follow his lead.

This will boost their momentum and influence, keeping V5 up at night and allowing them to more smoothly implement their plans.

If all else fails, we can kill Oboro to eliminate the hidden danger... Either way, we won't lose out.

Not a single royal soldier needs to be mobilized.

Based on his assessment of the Fills Family's power, even if Kakin won a war against them, he would suffer significant losses.

Now, it's just a matter of a prince and a princess dying... it's already an incredibly worthwhile deal.

The losses were minimized.

However, he didn't expect that Beyond would actually fail...

The reason he agreed to team up with Beyond was because he valued Yang De's strength and status... the son of Isaac Netero, the president of the Hunter Association.

The important thing is that both father and son returned alive from the Dark Continent ... This is a gimmick, a basis for outsiders to believe in the 'New Continent'.

Only those who have been to that place can speak with conviction.

Moreover, Beyond could leverage Netero's name to create some influence...

"This is tricky..."

Hui Guo Rou stretched out his chubby fingers and tapped his forehead, lost in thought.

"Kill that woman... she's no longer of any use."

After a moment, the king gave an order.

"Yes."

The subordinate accepted the order and turned to leave.

The Hui Guo Rou he referred to was his lover, the Honey Pot of the Fills Family.

Nasubi already knew the other party's identity... He was using a counter-strategy, setting bait to catch the big fish, Oboro.

The big fish has escaped the hook...

Women then lose their usefulness.

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince wishes to see you..."

After pondering for a while, someone came to report.

The defeat of the Oboro signifies that the Fills Family did not gain any advantage in the Kakin Empire... and Benjamin's thoughts were also completely exposed to his father.

Hui Guo Rou knew without a doubt that the eldest prince's purpose in coming was simply to explain.

"Tell him not to worry, this has nothing to do with him."

Nasubi gave a few instructions but did not see his eldest son.

He rose from the throne, and surrounded by two maids, walked slowly away with his hands behind his back.

"Yes."

After leaving the royal palace area, Oboro immediately used teleportation to return to the Fills Family's residence.

David was terrified when he saw his appearance.

This was the first time he had ever seen Oboro suffer such severe injuries.

They also learned about the situation of the Kakin Empire.

For the first time... for the first time, their plans had been progressing smoothly, but they encountered a setback.

Fortunately, Oboro was able to leave the Kakin Empire; otherwise, if the royal family had taken any action, David dared not imagine the consequences...

The Fills Family doesn't have much control over the gangs in Kakin, let alone on their own turf.

"The battlefield there is still under the jurisdiction of the royal palace, Beyond could naturally place his men there in advance, but we can't..."

Inside the main hall, Oboro sat on the sofa.

Several busy medical staff were moving around him, treating his wounds.

Fills Lily was there too.

"Should we stop? The Kakin Empire is very important to us, but it's not something we can't give up... Currently, the family has already reached a certain scale and momentum, so there's no need to force Kakin; it's too dangerous."

The woman in the wheelchair gently offered words of comfort.

"I'm thinking that in the near future, I can use Kakin to do something to force V5 to make concessions..."

Long didn't offer much explanation.

"Kakin's national strength is indeed in a class of its own across several continents, except for V5, and there is no substitute... Otherwise, we could settle for second best."

David sighed.

Let's put it on hold for now...

Long said calmly, "That King Nasubi Hui Guo Rou is indeed shrewd enough... and ruthless enough too."

"However, the life of the eldest prince Benjamin, is still in my hands... I want to see what he will choose."
