Hunter x Hunter: My Nen Beast is Strong

Chapter 41 Gang Intervention

Not long after Ailiji got up and left his seat, four or five people followed him.

These people's purpose was quite obvious; they seemed to be after Eligi.

Eligi glanced at the four or five people, but then didn't pay much attention to them, because these people were all ordinary people. Even if they were carrying guns, with the shooting speed of ordinary people, Nen users could easily dodge them.

After leaving the arena, Ailiji and his group went to a familiar barbecue restaurant. This barbecue restaurant was an old establishment in the area, and the beef was freshly slaughtered every day, so the meat tasted very good when grilled.

Upon seeing Ailiji and his group arrive, the boss greeted them warmly, saying, "The food has already been prepared."

After chatting with the boss for a bit, Ailiji went into the room to grill meat. The first thing he ate was naturally Akamaru, because if even a dog wouldn't eat it, there must be something wrong with it.

When you're out and about, it's always good to be careful.

During the meal, the door to the private room was pushed open. Several men in black suits who had been following Eric entered the room.

Ailiji was really afraid that the other party would pull out a pistol from their pocket and shoot without saying a word. If that happened, he might be too embarrassed to come to this restaurant again next time.

"Excuse me, are you Lord Ellig?" the bald man leading the group asked with a hint of respect.

They didn't look like assassins chasing after them; they looked more like gangsters.

However, 70-80% of the gang members come from Meteor City, and there are unspoken deals between the gang and Meteor City.

Even the Zoldyck family head's butler was selected from Meteor City, which shows that Meteor City not only collects garbage, but also sends out talents.

"This is the first time someone has used a respectful title on me. Who are you?" Eligi asked with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

The bald man didn't beat around the bush and stated his purpose directly: "We are from the Doyle family. Our patriarch is interested in recruiting us. He can help you deal with the pursuit in Meteor Street."

"Uh! I didn't expect my story to have reached the mafia. I don't have any real power. Doyle, why would the Doyle family take a liking to me?" A puzzled look appeared on Eric's face.

"The patriarch is currently at the arena. He has watched all of Lord Eligi's team's matches. To show our sincerity, we've also helped you resolve a problem." As he spoke, the bald man clapped his hands, and then a middle-aged man was dragged in.

When he saw the middle-aged man, Eligi was even more surprised, because the middle-aged man clearly had aura on him, proving that the other party was a person who knew Nen.

It was somewhat surprising that someone who knew Nen had been captured by a group of ordinary people.

It's worth noting that it would be quite easy for a Nen user to wipe out a small gang, so it seems that the Doyle family is no ordinary family.

"This guy has been observing Lord Eligi with a sniper rifle lately, and it seems he's planning to harm you. The patriarch just happened to run into him and took care of him." The bald man spoke as if it were a very ordinary matter.

This time, Erici didn't stay seated but stood up and said, "Thank you for the Doyle family's high regard, but we also have our own small team and have no plans to join any faction for the time being."

"Is that so? No problem. If you encounter any trouble, Mr. Eric, you can contact us at any time. Our Doyle family will always welcome you. This person is yours to handle." After saying that, the bald man handed a card to the table and then left the room with his men.

This left Eligi somewhat bewildered; what she feared most was goodwill from unknown sources.

"An assassin sent by the Elders' Council? Can they contact the Elders' Council?" Eligi looked at the middle-aged man lying on the ground. He seemed to have been injected with gas or some kind of anesthetic, so he couldn't move.

This kind of modern technology is also useful to Nen users, as evidenced by the fact that Uvogin, a member of the Phantom Troupe, was captured and drugged.

Of course, the anesthetic didn't seem to have much effect on the Zoldycks.

"Hehehehe, just kill me. I won't tell you anything. The elders will issue the highest bounty on you. Countless people want to get rid of you. Joining a gang might be a good choice for you," the middle-aged man sneered.

Ailiji scratched his head and said, "You're being controlled by the manipulation system. The way you're talking is so obvious, it's like you're being a lobbyist."

"Ugh—" The middle-aged man vomited a lot of foam, then his eyes rolled back. By the time Ellige bent down to check on him, the man had already stopped breathing. As for the cause of death, Ellige couldn't tell.

"Hinata, let's see what's wrong with this guy." Eligi thought that his Byakugan should be able to find some clues.

"Byakugan!" Hinata observed for a moment with her Byakugan, and finally said uncertainly, "It's probably due to an overdose of some kind of drug that caused the death."

"Ugh! What a hassle, we're still eating here!" Eligi scratched his head, and in the end, he could only give the shopkeeper 200,000 Jenny to help him sort things out. As for the responsibility, it was naturally all pushed onto the family called Doyle.

"The Doyle family is a notorious local gang. All the underground establishments around here are affiliated with the Doyle family, and most people don't want to mess with them. You'd better be careful," the shopkeeper said apprehensively.

"Thanks for reminding me, boss!" Ailiji felt a little regretful, thinking that he might not be able to come here for barbecue as often in the future so as not to cause trouble for the shop owner.

Eligi left with his men, not really caring about this little incident. No matter how powerful a mafia family was, none of them could match the oppressive feeling the Phantom Troupe gave him.

The Phantom Troupe dared to challenge the Ten Elders, the most powerful mafia family in the Hunter World.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Meanwhile, inside a mobile villa, a blonde woman bowed respectfully to a middle-aged man with black hair: "The traces of my actions were too obvious; it seems the other party discovered us."

"Hehehe, he's quite capable to evade Meteor Street's pursuit for over a year. I'll try my best to get my hands on what he stole from Meteor Street before September. I'll put it up for auction on the ground and thoroughly humiliate those old fogies in Meteor Street." The black-haired middle-aged man was the head of the Doyle family.

His behind-the-scenes identity is one of the Ten Elders, and the only one among them who is not bald.

"Using any means necessary?" The blonde woman lowered her eyes.

The middle-aged man with black hair exhaled a smoke ring and said in a calm tone, "I just want the stuff; as for the process, I don't really care."

"Yes! Your subordinate will definitely get your hands on the item before September," the blonde woman said confidently.
