The news TV station not only broadcasted photos of the victim, but also showed on-site pictures of the pickup truck sliced into six pieces.

Without a doubt—

This C-Rank Wanted Criminal, Dis Mendico, was also a Nen user.

Moyu silently withdrew his hand and turned to leave.

The newsstand elderly man looked up toward Moyu's back, muttering curses as he turned the small television back around.

"This murderer has already killed so many people, yet they still haven't caught him... I have no idea what those people are even doing."

The elderly man spat onto the ground.

Moyu left the newsstand and casually hailed a taxi by the roadside.

"Jinze Street, Ai Ai Bar."

Getting into the car and sitting in the backseat, Moyu stated the destination and said nothing more.

The taxi driver glanced through the rearview mirror at the underage Moyu, a flash of surprise crossing his eyes before he spun the steering wheel, guiding the taxi to merge into traffic.

Moyu turned his head to look at the street shops with their newly lit lamps outside the window, along with the bustling pedestrians coming and going.

If not for that news broadcast just now, the lively, clamorous scene before his eyes would not have differed much from the city nights of his past life.

"C-Rank Wanted Criminal, Dis Mendico."

Moyu muttered to himself in his heart, silently committing the name to memory.

That uncle he had crossed paths with by chance on the road, not even two full hours after parting ways with him, had been brutally murdered by this Nen user named Dis.

And atrocious villains like Dis were by no means few; even wanted criminals who did not understand Nen were a dime a dozen.

To put it simply,

various places in the Hunter world were like countless Gotham Citys whose chaos levels varied in degree.

At any moment, a joker ignoring the law and acting recklessly would emerge from a corner, and there would always be a Batman championing justice to counter the joker.

This was the other side of the world, distinct from that bustling, lively scene.

Slowly calming his thoughts, Moyu took out the newly bought world map and lowered his head to examine it.

The Six Continents, Ten Districts, and the five internationally recognized major powers roughly constituted a condensation of the world map.

The so-called Six Continents were six landmasses distributed across various parts of the globe.

The so-called Ten Districts were the territories administered across the various regions of the Six Continents by the ten supreme leaders of the worldwide underworld.

The so-called Five Great Powers were the five major international nations, namely the Saherta United States, the Kukan'yu Kingdom, the Minbo Republic, the Begerosse United Nations, and the Ochima Federation, abbreviated as V5.

Ganlin City, where Moyu currently found himself, was a northern city located in the Saherta United States on the Yorbian Continent, sharing a distance of approximately 1,100 kilometers with Laxiang City, which also belonged to the northern coastal cities.

"1,100 kilometers, huh..."

Moyu scanned the world map, suddenly drawn to a note in the corner of the map—

"Airship speed 95km~139km"

This thoughtful remark could be considered a helpful note, allowing Moyu to roughly grasp the estimated travel time for flying to Laxiang City.

Let's get an ID card first.

Moyu thought to himself.

Forty minutes later, the taxi reached the destination.

It was precisely eight o'clock in the evening.

Moyu got out of the car, looked up at the brilliantly lit Ai Ai Bar, and then walked into the alley beside it.

The light in the alley was dim, full trash cans were placed casually against the wall, and a stench permeated the air.

Moyu stepped over the ground flowing with suspected foul water, walked to the end of the alley, and saw two youths with dyed, colorful hair and pins in their faces and ears.

"You the one getting papers made?"

The green-haired, tall youth among them looked Moyu up and down, showing no perfunctory attitude despite Moyu's age.

"Yes."

Moyu directly took out two ten-thousand-Jenie bills from his pocket.

Another red-haired youth walked over, took the money from Moyu's hand, rubbed it a few times, and nodded at the green-haired youth.

The green-haired youth looked at Moyu and said coldly, "Snap any casual photo, and it'll be done in half an hour. If you don't feel like waiting here, you can go sit inside the bar for a bit. Go in through this back door, and no one will stop you."

Hearing this, Moyu glanced at the iron door on the left, faintly able to hear the sound waves spilling from within, and shook his head, rejecting the green-haired youth's suggestion.

"Half an hour, you guys are quite efficient."

"Tch, with just this bit of petty profit, how could we make money without some efficiency?"

The red-haired youth waved those two thin banknotes.

Moyu glanced at the red-haired youth and said calmly, "I'll wait right here."

"Fine."

The two youths were quite straightforward as well; taking the money and getting to work, they began the process of making a fake card for Moyu.

Half an hour later.

Moyu obtained a convincing fake ID card.

The green-haired youth said indifferently, "Since it's a fake ID after all, it's enough for taking boats or airships and buying tickets at scenic spots, but don't bother thinking about other uses. Also, don't count on using this fake ID to leave or enter the country."

"Mhm."

Moyu nodded toward the green-haired youth and turned to leave.

He originally thought his age would lead to twists or trouble during the document-making process, but it turned out quite smooth, and they even matched him with identity information, which could be considered thorough.

The green-haired youth and the red-haired youth watched Moyu depart from the alley.

Until Moyu could no longer be seen, the red-haired youth couldn't help saying, "Ying, just a little brat, why not just rob him? Much less trouble."

"Snap."

Ying backhanded a slap across the red-haired youth's forehead, then lit a cigarette and scolded, "You stupid bastard, with eyes that finally grew out of your mother's womb, all you know how to do is look at women's asses and thighs."

"Ugh..."

The red-haired youth rubbed his head and muttered softly, "But Ying, I prefer looking at big boobs."

"Snap, snap!"

Ying backhanded two more slaps, then took a hard drag on his cigarette.

"At the gang meeting some time ago, you saw Miss Koko, right?"

"Ah, just caught a glimpse from afar. Ying, why are you suddenly bringing this up?"

"Then what did you think of Miss Koko's aura?"

"Uh, I can't quite explain it either, I just felt... she stood out way more than those bigshots in the gang."

"Then what if I told you that the teenager just now was even more dangerous than Miss Koko, would you believe it?"

"Hahaha, Ying, you really love joking."

The red-haired youth froze for a moment, then burst out laughing, thinking Ying was joking.

Ying looked at the laughing red-haired youth, reached out, patted the red-haired youth's shoulder twice, and sighed, "Big bro was wrong just now. Usually, when you have nothing to do, just look at more asses and thighs, lest you don't have many chances left in the future."

"But Ying, I still prefer looking at big boobs."

The red-haired youth grievance-voiced.

Airport.

Moyu got out of the taxi and headed straight for the airport lobby.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Moyu went to the service counter to inquire, discovering that this airport had no direct flights to Laxiang City. If he planned a route, counting the transfer, it would take at least 15 hours of flight time, making it less efficient than just taking a vehicle.

However, since he had already come, Moyu used the newly made fake ID to purchase an airship ticket to a transit station, then went with the flow and boarded.

At 22:15, the airship took off.

Three hours later.

The airship landed at a transit station airport.

Flying to Laxiang City from here was equivalent to making a huge detour for nothing.

Moyu disembarked, quickly bought an airship ticket straight to Laxiang City, boarded, entered the bar equipped on the airship, sat by the window, and waited for takeoff.

I should be able to arrive before dusk.

Moyu glanced at the night view outside the window, then took out the Rat Treasure Bead to observe it carefully.

This blue bead, resembling a glass marble, corresponded to Hawk's status.

Discerning the blue luster inside allowed Moyu to confirm Hawk's current situation in real time.

In a corner of the bar.

A pair of sparkling, large eyes was staring straight at the Rat Treasure Bead in Moyu's hand.
