Chapter 88
"Those people went too far."
"The KUTE couldn't do anything to the Zoldyck family members, so they took their anger out on us and started hunting us down."
"But we didn't provoke them."
"These people are nothing but beasts."
"And those two Zoldyck family members were even worse."
"They were the ones who provoked KUTE in the first place."
"They were the ones who benefited from it."
"Yet they simply left, abandoning us to bear the wrath of KUTE."
"By sacrificing us, they escaped."
"What do they take us for?"
"Park, this isn't right, you agree don't you?"
"These people deserve to die!"
Suddenly, footsteps were heard outside the door.
Peter immediately became alert.
A young butler appeared at Peter's door.
"Peter, are you there?"
Peter opened the door and forced a smile.
"Sir Butler."
"May I come in and sit for a while?"
"Of course."
Peter stepped aside.
The young butler entered.
"I overheard what you just said, but you don't need to worry."
"I don't have any ill intentions toward you."
"Park and I are very good friends."
"I'm also very sad about Park's death."
"If you want to take revenge for Park, count me in."
Peter's eyes brightened.
"Really?"
After all, Peter was still just a child, having only recently come out of the Old Garbage District, and his mind wasn't too strong.
Upon hearing the butler's words, a sense of closeness immediately grew in Peter.
"Really."
The young butler continued, "Actually, the Elders are very dissatisfied with the Zoldyck family. In the matter of KUTE, the Zoldyck family took too much from the Elders."
"Furthermore, the Zoldyck family hasn't given the Elders any respect."
"This angered the Elders."
"However, the Zoldyck family are too powerful, and Meteor City has just suffered a huge loss. It's extremely difficult, if not impossible, to deal with the Zoldyck family in the short term."
Peter's face showed a determined expression.
"Sir, justice will surely prevail."
"Those beasts like the Zoldyck family will definitely face divine punishment."
"Right now, the Elders aren't as powerful as the Zoldyck family, but that will change."
"In the future, I will definitely kill them and avenge Park!"
As soon as Peter finished speaking, Ron pushed open the door and entered.
The young butler stood up.
"Master."
Peter's pupils shrank.
"What are you doing here?"
Then he turned to the young butler, glaring at him with hatred.
"Did you lie to me?"
Ron raised a finger.
A ball of Nen gathered at the tip of his finger.
"Nen Bullet!"
In the next moment, the Nen bullet shot straight toward Peter.
"Bang!"
It hit with pinpoint accuracy.
Peter's entire head exploded.
He staggered back a few steps and collapsed onto the ground.
Ron looked at Peter's body.
Once he confirmed that Peter was completely dead and there was no lingering death Nen, he turned and left.
The young butler began to clean up Peter's body.
As for why Ron had done this, he didn't care.
People are different from one another.
Different people have different thoughts.
It's something you can't force.
Ron's thinking was simple: Peter had developed a murderous intent toward him and his family, and Ron had the power to easily eliminate him.
So, why keep someone like that alive?
A gust of wind blew in, carrying away the smell of blood.
The young butler looked at Peter's body and shook his head.
"Too full of himself."
Back in his room, the sky had already darkened.
Ron locked the doors and windows, drew the curtains, and lay on the bed, staring at the white ceiling.
Then, he glanced toward the crystal ball in front of him.
---
"The progress has reached eighty per cent. I am not far from reaching one hundred per cent."
"I hope that after witnessing this great event of Meteor City, the progress can be fully completed."
The next day, the Elder's recruitment plan for Meteor City officially began.
The location was set outside the Elder's city, in the chaotic area.
The rules were quite simple.
So simple that it caught Ron off guard.
It was still early in the day when the group arrived at the city walls of the Elder's city.
The Elder, Zeno, Ron, and the Elder's numerous subordinates stood high on the city walls, overlooking down below.
Outside, many figures began to appear.
The recruitment plan had already spread throughout Meteor City, and anyone who had the will could come.
Whether from the Garbage New District or the Chaos Area, everyone was extremely interested.
The only exception was the Garbage Old District.
People from the Garbage Old District had become as cold as machines.
For those from the Garbage New District, this was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to change their fate.
As long as they stood out during the recruitment, they could join the Elder's city and become part of it.
Status, resources, and influence would all increase significantly.
It could be said that if selected, it would be like defying their fate and changing one's destiny.
Even for those from the Chaos Area, the opportunity was extremely attractive.
Outside the Elder's city, many Nen users who had already mastered Nen were excited about this.
The scene was truly magnificent.
Countless burning eyes were focused in this direction.
Ron scanned the area.
"Not bad."
Ron's delight wasn't because of Meteor City.
It was because, after so many people had gathered, Ron noticed that the crystal ball's absorption rate of the unique traits from Meteor City had increased significantly.
This delighted Ron.
"At this rate, once the recruitment for Meteor City is finished, the crystal ball should be fully charged with the unique traits of Meteor City. There should be no problem completing that."
The Elder held a microphone in his hand.
Nearby, a massive speaker was set up.
"Everyone, it doesn't matter what your status was before."
"It doesn't matter whether you've committed any wrongs in the past."
"Today, this opportunity is equal for all."
"I have hidden tens of thousands of tokens within Meteor City."
"As long as you find a token, you can join the Elder's City and become one of us."
"Go and search."
"Vie for it."
"I hereby announce, the great recruitment of Meteor City has officially begun!"
---
The crowd below: "…"
Before this, many people thought the test would be held near the Elder's City.
That's why they had come.
Some people rushed out without even eating when they heard the news.
Some had considered their friends as rivals, drugging them to delay their progress.
Others were already preparing to step into the ring for a contest.
But no one had expected the Elder's recruitment method to be like this.
He had already dispersed tens of thousands of tokens.
And the people had to search for them.
These tokens weren't anywhere near Elder's City!
