Suits were standard attire for the Mafia, and Oboro easily found an outfit that fit his size on the second floor.
Clap clap clap...
Oboro turned around, applauding, and showed a smile.
Bot was frightened and squeezed out a fawning smile.
"I have a few questions for you." Oboro said in a light tone.
"Please, ask."
Bot nodded immediately.
"Now that the boss of the Fiers Family is dead, can I smoothly take possession of his assets?"
"It's like this..."
Bot paused for a moment and quickly explained.
The meaning was that Oboro could transfer money through the Fiers Family's account, but there was a time limit...
It had to be before other Mafia forces noticed that something had happened to the Fiers Family!
It would be difficult for Oboro to move things like casinos or other real estate.
The underworld forces were extremely chaotic, and the Mafia often fought each other, because they were fighting for the 'cake'.
However... this was only internal. If outsiders intervened, the Mafia would unite against them. The Ten Dons were the foundation of this vast and impregnable force.
The Mafia had its own rules... Internal fighting was allowed.
If any family was destroyed or disintegrated, other forces would definitely want to annex it, but they needed to ask the Ten Dons for instructions first. A more common way was for the Ten Dons to allocate resources...
Moreover, the inheritance of the family's descendants also needed to be reported to the Ten Dons and recognized... Therefore, if Oboro wanted to replace Fiers Garu and become the new head of the Fiers Family, it was also impossible!
Once the news of Fiers Garu's death spread, Oboro, as the murderer... would immediately be targeted.
The Mafia wasn't simply a group of people banding together... but the Ten Dons were maintaining their own prestige and status.
No matter which Mafia, which family, what they made their fortune from... they had to 'pay tribute' to the 'administrator of the area', which was one of the Ten Dons.
The ten of them were the emperors of the underworld.
"So, I still can't get rid of the trouble... On the contrary, I've stirred up an even bigger mess." Oboro said after listening.
"...That's right..."
Bot echoed.
"It seems... I won't be able to participate in this year's Hunter Exam..." Oboro sighed softly.
"Where is the Fiers Family's base, tell me about Fiers Garu's situation."
"Yes."
Bot told all the information he knew in detail, the main members of the Fiers Family, and information related to the industry... as well as the situation within the Mafia organization, etc. The more he said, the stronger the desire to survive he revealed.
"What are your plans?"
After a while, Bot asked cautiously.
His tone seemed to be taking Oboro's lead.
"What else can I do..."
Oboro laughed dryly, moving his neck, "Since only the Ten Dons have the final say... Then I can only personally sit in that position, otherwise, even if I kill one, there are still nine... The bottom I have to cover will be even bigger, and things will never end."
Bot was speechless... This method was something he didn't even dare to think about!
"Oh right, let's get down to business first."
"Business?!"
Bot was stunned.
What else was there?
"I said, I won't leave anyone alive before dawn..." Oboro said with a smile.
"I killed... I killed them all! I confirmed it, I didn't leave a single one!"
Bot's heart tightened, and he said quickly.
"That's not right..."
Oboro frowned, "What I originally said was, I don't want to see any living people again..."
"Yes, I did as you instructed!"
Bot's legs were shaking.
"Really? Aren't you also alive? Did you... forget about yourself?"
"..."
Hearing these words, Bot was immediately dumbfounded.
A chill ran down his spine.
"Do you need me... to help you?"
"..."
A few minutes later, Oboro wiped his hands with a handkerchief and walked out of the hall.
He had a forgotten person on his shoulder, Charlie.
His injuries were very serious, but fortunately they weren't fatal... He should recover in a few months.
The latter was also lucky, and wasn't killed.
Oboro wasn't afraid of trouble... But he hated being entangled.
Just like he tried his best to stay away from people like Hisoka or Illumi...
He wanted to purely understand and familiarize himself with this world, and to climb to the peak he imagined, to work hard...
In his previous life, he was full of curiosity about the Hunter world, and there were many secrets he wanted to know or things he wanted to experience...
However, it was indeed difficult to move forward alone, without any distractions.
Even someone like Netero couldn't escape it.
Including Ging Freecss, who was messing around with Pariston after the chairman's death.
"Let's just say... it's the beginning of integrating into this world."
Oboro thought in his heart, and left the manor with the unconscious Charlie.
Oboro wasn't interested in power... In fact, it was very simple to deal with one of the Ten Dons, but after listening to Bot, Oboro understood...
The structure of the underworld forces was very complicated. It wasn't that if the Ten Dons died, this person would be gone...
There would always be new leaders emerging, there would be new Ten Dons appearing...
Without becoming one of them, there would always be hidden dangers, and the structure and framework of the Mafia were already fixed.
Not to mention anything else, just being wanted by the Mafia would have an impact.
Who wouldn't be annoyed by a bunch of flies flying around you all day?
Moreover, in the original work, Illumi alone assassinated the Ten Dons, making the Mafia seem extremely incompetent...
But now it seemed that the facts weren't as easy as he thought! The underworld forces' industries were spread across several continents, involving all aspects...
Furthermore, when the Ten Dons were killed by Illumi, their manpower was being restrained by the Troupe, and the Shadow Beasts weren't there either...
Especially the Shadow Beasts, as the Ten Dons' private armed forces, although they were all wiped out by the Spiders, it couldn't be denied that they had some skills.
At least, it would be almost impossible for Oboro to face all the Shadow Beasts alone now.
However, it was still no problem to deal with one of the Ten Dons.
The underworld had its own rules, as long as he successfully took the position, and had the same power as the Ten Dons, it would be fine.
Annoying as it was, the Fiers Family's matter this time also made Oboro discover that the underworld forces were quite interesting.
These hired Nen users were more comprehensive than the people in the Heavens Arena... They could be regarded as upgraded versions of 'small mice', and he might be able to learn something.
Furthermore, if he really became one of the Ten Dons, the assets he controlled would also increase...
Which could fully support his future Hunter career, and the Mafia's intelligence, contacts, etc., would also make it easier for him to understand this world.
There was some news and information... that was difficult for ordinary people to know, and was only held in the hands of a few people.
Oboro was also very interested in this government organization that was similar to the United Nations...
But only as a Hunter, it would be difficult for him to come into contact with that level, and the Mafia was a good stepping stone.
Oboro remembered very clearly that in the original work, even someone as strong and respected as Netero could only obey when answering a call from a V5 official...
There was certainly the old man's sense of responsibility and his own 'righteousness' for all Hunters, but it had to be admitted that, aside from the Dark Continent, just talking about the human world here, the 'symbol of power' was still very obvious.
The more cards he had, the less interference he would receive in the future.
Avoiding external factors and just saying that you want to roam the world... was basically just bragging.
If you wanted absolute freedom, you had to have absolute 'ability'.
Oboro knew very well... what kind of world a Hunter really was...
Afterwards, he took a ship to a bustling city.
The Fiers Family's base camp, which wasn't far from the Heavens Arena.
He left Charlie at a hospital... As long as he was alive, it was fine. After he woke up, he would understand what was going on soon enough.
"Should I look for him..."
On the ship, Oboro sat by the window, drinking juice, and muttered to himself.
The person he was referring to was Illumi.
Let the Zoldycks kill one of the Ten Dons, saving him from having to do it himself.
But after thinking about it, Oboro gave up on this plan.
First, Illumi must have already met and become familiar with Hisoka, after all, he was the one who connected them.
Second, the Ten Dons' bounty was definitely not low.
Finally... Why should he spend money to ask others to do something he could do himself?
Moreover, if his plan was known to Illumi... it wouldn't be a good thing.
Just like he had analyzed before, even if Illumi killed the Ten Don who controlled the area's forces now, it would be useless...
He wouldn't be able to take the position. It might even benefit others. The Mafia emphasized legitimacy and seniority, and it had to be a 'one of their own'...
The Fiers Family was just a mid-level force, and it needed a process.
Oboro had also thought about using tough methods or force to manipulate them, but it wasn't realistic... The number of Mafia members was countless.
Even if the Zoldyck Family wanted to control the Mafia, assuming Illumi didn't use his ability, it would take a long time to completely convince everyone...
Kill those who didn't listen, but there were simply too many to kill... A year? Two years?
Most importantly, it involved many levels of management, and the trivial matters were too troublesome.
Don't look down on the Mafia, their sense of identity was actually quite strong.
Of course, if Illumi used his ability, then he hadn't said anything.
Furthermore, the identity of a Hunter or a Nen user, in the eyes of people like Fiers Garu, wasn't prominent or noble... At most, they were just like the Zoldycks, awe-inspiring.
But for the most part, they could only be regarded as assassins or assistants that could be hired and employed with money.
