Chapter 111

"Why... why is my father like this?"

"Why are other people's fathers so good to their children?"

"What did I do wrong?"

Nina's eyes revealed a deep confusion.

Ron left his laptop in the living room.

"Shizuku, when Nina comes out, let her watch this," Ron said.

"Understood, Captain."

Shizuku glanced curiously at the screen but didn't open the video.

Ron returned to his room, preparing to reflect on the recent battle.

This fight had been the kind of battle Ron had envisioned for himself.

As an emission-type Nen user and a Nen Beast practitioner, his strength lay in the ability to strategize from a distance, deciding the outcome of battles from afar. With a slight thought, he could take another's life without ever putting himself at risk.

His enemies couldn't even locate him.

"Chii gathers intelligence."

"And can hack into all surveillance systems, phones, and computers."

"During previous battles, such as with Gluttony, Sloth, and Baki, they had no idea where I was, but I was able to observe their every move. That's the power of Chii."

"Baki engages in direct combat."

"Killer Queen supports with ambushes."

"The two Nen Beasts work together, and only a few Nen users of the same level can resist this."

"The Scissors Nen tool is no longer useful to me, but I can give it to Nina."

"The Rotten Life Blade is for me to use, or for Baki depending on the situation."

"All in all, I should rank among the top C-tier Nen users."

"With my abilities, carrying out assassin tasks will be much easier than for most other assassins."

"Additionally, I've already decided where I'll next Use Observe and become stronger"

"The Underworld Mafia."

"If I Observe them next, it will allow me to create my fourth Nen Beast!"

Ron chose the Underworld Mafia as his next target for absorption because he was pressed for time.

The one-year limit he had agreed upon with Maha Zoldyck was fast approaching.

Initially, Ron had two other options in mind.

One was Greed Island.

The other was the Hunter Exam.

However, Ron believed it would be very difficult to fully absorb the Greed Island ability. He probably needs to not only join as a player but also be there as an observer when it is completed. That was difficult, but if he had to wait for Gon to complete it, he would waste years.

As for completing Greed Island himself, Ron never considered it. It was a game designed by Ging Freecss for Gon, not something he intended to interfere with.

Ging Freecss was now one of the top five Nen users in the world, far stronger than Ron. He could not risk Gin coming after him.

Regarding the Hunter Exam, based on his experiences in the Sky Arena and Meteor City, Ron knew that attending just once wouldn't help him fully absorb the extreme potential of an Observer's Nen ability.

"If that's the case, it might take years."

That's why Ron chose the Underworld Mafia.

In terms of overall strength, the Underworld Mafia was indeed weaker.

It wasn't as strong as the Zoldyck family or the Sky Arena, and in terms of overall power, it was also inferior to Meteor City.

However, the Underworld Mafia had its own unique qualities.

The Nen beasts created by the Observer's extreme potential weren't always combat types.

Just like Chii.

An auxiliary-type Nen Beast, which, in Ron's view, held more value than combat-type Nen Beasts.

The Underworld Mafia had its merits as well.

Otherwise, Maha Zoldyck wouldn't have had to step in to eliminate the Ten Dons.

"To absorb the Underworld Mafia's ability, the best way would be to join a Mafia family."

"Just like Kurapika did in the original story."

In the original story, Kurapika, through Hisoka, learned that the Phantom Troupe would raid the auction in Yorknew City and that there would be Scarlet Eyes there, which led him to join the Nostrad family as a hired bodyguard.

Ron could use a similar approach.

---

In the living room.

Nina finally emerged.

"Nina, the Captain wants you to watch this," Shizuku pointed to the laptop screen.

Nina nodded and approached the computer. She clicked the play button with the mouse.

The video began playing.

This video had been intercepted by Chii on Ron's orders.

It started from the moment Baki appeared in the surveillance footage.

Upon seeing Baki, Gluttony immediately launched an attack on him.

The two began their battle.

Then, Kyle appeared.

Gluttony issued orders to him.

Kyler searched around.

Gluttony was at a disadvantage.

Gluttony was knocked out by a swing from Baki.

Kyler fled.

Sloth returned with Kyler.

Sloth and Baki fought.

Kyler approached Gluttony's corpse.

Gluttony's body enveloped Kyler, transforming into a monster.

The monster and Sloth teamed up to attack Baki.

The monster devoured Sloth.

The monster became stronger.

Killer Queen appeared.

Killer Queen and Baki teamed up to attack the monster.

They defeated the monster, killing it.

Kyler's face emerged.

A deathly Nen appeared.

From then on, Nina already knew what happened.(T/n I hope we don't get that sort of a recap again) 

"Big brother, thank you."

Nina looked toward Ron's room.

Shizuku didn't understand, and just felt it was strange.

At this time, Shizuku hadn't started learning Nen, so she couldn't use Gyo. She couldn't see Killer Queen or Baki, nor could she see the aura. She just saw Sloth and Gluttony fighting the air.

Ron submitted the assassination mission.

One Sloth, one Gluttony, both with a bounty of 1 billion Jenny.

Honestly, the price was a bit low.

But they were targets to be killed anyway. Accepting the assassination mission before killing them was an added bonus.

"The traces have been cleaned up."

"Surveillance, videos, calls…"

"And the signs of the battle."

"Everything has been cleaned. No one knows it was me."

"However, if the Underworld Mafia starts investigating, they might suspect me. After all, Kyler came to the Sky Arena because of Nina."

"Nina is a member of my team."

"But my performance at the Sky Arena wasn't that strong."

"At least not stronger than Sloth or Gluttony."

"They might suspect me, but it's a low probability that they'll believe I did it."

"Now, we'll see how the Underworld Mafia reacts."

"This might be an opportunity to infiltrate the Underworld Mafia."

Ron left his room.

"Nina."

"Big brother."

"The past is the past. Don't dwell on it, look forward."

Ron said, "For a while, people related to Kyler might come to investigate us. You need to pretend like you don't know anything, understand? I'll call Kyler's phone this evening. To see if someone takes the bait"

Nina nodded.

"I understand."

As evening approached, Ron called Kyles's number.

No one answered.

This was expected. Kyler's phone had already become a wreck.

One, two, three...

Ron stopped.

Soon, two figures appeared at the Ding William family's residence.

A woman, with a curvaceous figure, dressed provocatively, exuded an aura of seduction, causing many of the young men of the Ding William family to gaze at her involuntarily.
