Little Spiders

It had been a while since Loki had walked down the streets of Meteor City.

The population of Meteor City is about 8 million currently, with it being 15 million at its peak. This is already comparable to a small country.

Meteor City is divided into four quadrants, each governed by an Elder. These elders are all Nen users and have taken advantage of this to secure their control.

Although there are four separate factions, there are no faction disputes. This is also to secure interests as a major fight would lead to a further collapse of an already ruined society.

The house where Machi lives is located in a remote corner of the northwest faction. It was only a few minutes from the iron wall separating the town from the garbage piles.

If you have good eyesight, standing on the roof of Machi's house, you can see the piles of garbage outside the city.

If one is lucky, you might be able to see trucks coming in from outside and then dumping their garbage into one of the many piles.

This is also the reason that nobody competes with Machi for this location. It's too far from the garbage piles leaving little time to scavenge new trash. For an eleven-year-old Machi, however, this is a perfect place.

Machi and Loki were currently walking side by side, walking towards the spot agreed beforehand with Chrollo.

Most people who walked bypassed by unceremoniously, but a few looked at Machi and Loki like fresh prey. Loki and Machi were currently wearing some of the better forms of clothes, and this attracted the greed of many scavengers.

Seeing this sight, Loki's eyes became incredibly cold, causing a chill to arise in the area.

"Although I don't want to bother you, I don't have the habit of being stared at… Especially those who are weaker than me." Loki spoke in an icy tone.

As soon as the voice fell, Loki's aura suddenly broke out and surged toward the surroundings. The faces of the people who looked at Loki suddenly changed.

The strong people in the area grit their teeth, trying to resist the aura. In contrast, some people with slightly weaker constitutions were even more frightened. Big beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads, and their bodies trembled somewhat.

It was like being stared down by a scourge, as their brains were frantically warning them to move, but their body was paralyzed in fear.

"What did you do to them?" Machi asked, looking at the scene curiously.

"I just released some malicious thoughts with my nen," Loki said with a shrug. Machi, who heard this, nodded slightly, happy to learn a new trick.

Soon Machi and Loki had arrived at the agreed-upon place.

The place that Chrollo arranged was at the periphery of Meteor City, where there was a buffer zone between the garbage dumps.

When Machi and Loki arrived, someone was already waiting there.

"Pakunoda." Machi greeted the blond girl standing on a piece of wood.

Then she moved towards the quiet brawny man on the side and the man with pale white skin who was not too tall and nodded again.

"Franklin, Feitan."

She revealed the names of the people one by one so as to introduce them to Loki. Loki was also currently examining them, finding the young spiders incredibly interesting.

"To think these people would be the founding members of the future Phantom Troupe…." Loki thought with a smile.

At this time, Machi also pointed toward Loki under the eyes of the other three.

"Loki."

Needless to say, the eyes of all three had already fallen on Loki's body.

"Is he the one that Uvogin talked about?" Franklin asked while looking at Loki curiously.

He had a scarred face that looked extremely fierce, but if you got to know him, you would know he was an extremely loyal guy.

"The one that Uvogin regarded so highly?" The fourteen-year-old Pakunoda asked.

She was far from being the devilish figure of the future, and her dress was far less revealing than the future. She was currently looking at Loki curiously.

You have to know that the last person that Uvogin gave such a high evaluation of was Chrollo.

"The man who gave Uvogin the strange power?" Feitan asked.

Feitan was dressed in black and had extremely pale skin with fox-like eyes. Feitan also seemed to be quite unlucky in the height department.

Feitan, who is now around sixteen years old and supposed to go to high school, is still only the height of a junior high school student. It's also obvious that this will be about his height in the future.

Obviously, with the reaction of the three of them, they have all more or less heard the news about Loki from Uvogin.

Although Uvogin is not a person with a large mouth, he respects Loki a lot, plus his excitement of awakening Nen.

The two sides looked at each other, and the scene turned somewhat cold for a while.

*SFX* Clatter.

At this moment, there was a crisp sound of footsteps.

When everyone looked at it at the same time, they saw a man wearing a black suit with his hands in his pockets and a very professional style man approaching.

"We finally meet… Chrollo Lucilfer…." Loki thought with an intriguing look.

Every move of his almost demands attention and is full of villain-like charm. It would seem that he had a natural temperament for leadership.

Currently, Chrollo's hair was still loose, and he had yet to get the cross tattoo on his forehead. He looked no different from an ordinary high school student who seriously highlighted his amazing temperament.

Compared to the newcomer Loki who just joined their group, Chrollo, who has proven his ability and leadership, has attracted more attention from the others.

"How did the talk go about Uvogin and Nobunaga?" Machi asked, being the most worried about their safety.

"Not too great," Chrollo said while smiling lightly.

"The elder, in fact, made a promise to not release Uvogin and Nobunaga," he added.

"Why is that? Even if there was a little conflict, there were no casualties. How could that person become an elder with so little tolerance?" Franklin, who was quite simple, asked.

Feitan and Pakunoda didn't say anything, but their faces were the same.

"That's because Uvogin destroyed part of the Elder's collection…."
