Chapter 93

"Shalnark and the Boss went together; the two of them went to Uvogin's territory to scavenge things and ended up getting beaten up."

"Back then, the Boss was really weak."

"There was no helping it; without knowing Nen, who could stand up to a giant brute like Uvogin?"

"If Franklin hadn't stepped in, the Boss and Shalnark probably wouldn't have made it out."

"After they escaped, they ran into us."

Feitan nodded in agreement.

"Back then, the Boss was the weakest among us, yet now he's become the strongest member. For Sarasa, for Meteor City, the Boss has given so much, more than any of us, working harder than all of us."

"I believe in the Boss."

"I believe in the Boss's ideas."

"I believe in the Boss's vision."

"As long as we pursue our goal of absolute evil, Meteor City will someday become the place we desire."

"The killer of Sarasa will also be found."

Suddenly, Feitan looked down at the token in his hand, frowning.

"Snap!"

The token shattered in Feitan's hand.

And with that, the scene in Ron's mind disappeared as well.

"Feitan, what's wrong?"

"Our conversation just now… it might have been overheard."

Feitan looked down at the token fragments on the ground.

"There was something off about this token. I let my guard down, lost in memory."

Phinks took a glance at it.

"Forget it; even if someone overheard, it's fine."

"Our conversation wasn't anything important."

"Let's just get on with the mission."

Feitan nodded in agreement.

---

Ron showed a somewhat peculiar expression.

"Judging by Feitan's reaction, he probably didn't know about the token's effect initially."

"And even if he did, he wouldn't have realized that it could convey what's being said to the mother token."

"There's no conflict between the Phantom Troupe and the Zoldyck family."

"Therefore, there shouldn't be any issues with the conversation between Feitan and Phinks."

"But this brings up another question."

Ron's eyes flashed with contemplation.

"From what I previously knew about the storyline, there were originally seven founding members of the Phantom Troupe, and Feitan and Phinks weren't among them."

"But now it seems like Feitan and Phinks were indeed founding members."

"Wait, perhaps it was never explicitly stated that the initial members of the Phantom Troupe were only seven; that was just an assumption."

"Based on the numbers, having only seven original members doesn't really add up."

"Uvogin's number is eleven, which wouldn't make sense if there weren't that many founding members."

"Additionally, from what Feitan mentioned, it seems the Phantom Troupe wasn't established solely for committing crimes."

"It was created for Meteor City?"

"And who is this Sarasa?"

Ron absorbed all this information slowly in his mind.

There were quite a few differences between this information and the storyline Ron originally knew about the Phantom Troupe.

"I wonder what the actual truth is."

Ron shook his head.

Ten days later.

The large-scale recruitment in Meteor City was nearly complete, with most of the tokens already found.

Only a few remained unclaimed.

They were either undiscovered or still being fought over.

Zeno would soon select ten candidates from nearly two hundred people to serve as trainee butler candidates, who would then be brought back to the Zoldyck estate.

Upon returning to the Zoldyck estate, they would undergo training and further selection.

One among them would ultimately stand out to become Milluki's personal butler.

However, Ron had little interest in this.

What Ron was concerned with was...

After many days of large-scale recruitment in Meteor City, his Nen ability, "Perfect Observer," had been continuously absorbing the traits of Meteor City, and at this moment, it had finally reached one hundred percent completion!

This meant that Ron's third Nen Beast was about to appear.

At the same time, the appearance of the Nen Beast would provide Ron with some form of feedback.

"Grandpa Zeno, I'm going back to my room for a bit."

"Alright."

Ron returned to the room arranged for him by the Elders.

Then, with a thought, two figures appeared.

One was pink—Killer Queen.

The other was a young man—Hanma Baki.

These were his two Nen Beasts.

One guarded the door, while the other kept watch at the window.

This way, if anything unexpected were to happen, these two Nen Beasts could protect Ron.

Of course, the likelihood of any incident was slim.

This was Elder City.

In Elder City, the Elders held absolute authority.

And Zeno was here as well.

The Elders certainly wouldn't dare to act recklessly with him here.

"However, from what I just heard in Feitan's conversation, it seems that the Phantom Troupe's return this time isn't just a casual visit; it might significantly impact the situation in Meteor City."

"I remember, in the original storyline, the Elders had a rather complex attitude toward the Phantom Troupe during the Chimera Ant arc."

"And during the Yorknew City incident, Meteor City offered strong support to the Phantom Troupe."

"When the underworld's mafia learned that the Phantom Troupe was from Meteor City, they immediately abandoned any plans for revenge."

"It seems the status of these Elders in Meteor City might be about to change."

Ron came back to his senses, looking at the crystal ball before him.

The crystal ball, now at one hundred percent completion, emitted a faint glow.

"Begin!"

In the next moment, Ron felt the aura within him surge rapidly into the crystal ball.

The scene was exactly like last time.

The color of the crystal ball began to change.

"Bang!"

A sound exploded in Ron's mind, and he felt his consciousness pulled into another space, where shadowy figures began to appear in his view.

A young man dressed in black, with a piercing gaze.

A girl with long red hair and an innocent expression.

A gloomy man with a disfigured body.

A bald man with an unremarkable appearance.

A girl with long golden hair.

In the next instant, all of these figures entered the crystal ball.

"Boom!"

A resonant sound echoed.

Ron felt his consciousness rapidly withdraw.

Moments later…

Ron opened his eyes.

With a thought, a figure appeared before him.

Simultaneously, a flood of information surged into Ron's mind.

"Computer Girl, Chi."

Ron examined the golden-haired girl standing before him.

Like Killer Queen and Hanma Baki, she, too, came from a work in Ron's past life memories.

Elutan was associated with a world called Chobits. (T/n I have never heard about this anime in my entire life) 

Chi is not technically human—she is a persocom, which is an advanced humanoid robot or artificial intelligence designed to look and act like a human.

Hence, her combat capabilities were still above those of an ordinary person, with the ability to hover at low altitudes.

In this world, though, her fighting skills would undoubtedly fall short.

After all, this was a world of Nen users.

Elutan's primary abilities lay in computer network-related powers.

She had an exceptionally strong firewall.

Additionally, she possessed top-notch hacking abilities.

In certain aspects, she matched the characteristics of Meteor City as well.

Absorbing traits from the Zoldyck estate had created Killer Queen.

Absorbing traits from the Heaven's Arena had created Hanma Baki.

Meteor City was this world's wasteland.

And in *Chobits*, Elutan was originally found as discarded junk.

"Not bad."
