Combat Ability Rank: Battle-Hardened Martial Artist, Veteran Nen Ability Expert. (Can be upgraded to: Nen Ability Master)
Comprehensive Attribute Evaluation: Human Evolver.
Oboro glanced at the system panel. Compared to before leaving the Heavens Arena, "Nen Ability Expert" had changed to "Veteran Nen Ability Expert," with three more words.
He took a sip of juice, and Oboro blinked.
The martial arts skills were still the same as before. His growth in the Mafia was mostly implicit.
Combat experience, combat thinking, the amount of information that his brain needed to process in a short period of time, and the 'heart' emphasized by Biscuit.
At least Oboro's Nen power now had clearly strengthened by one level compared to almost a year ago.
However, as his strength improved to a certain level, or rather, the higher the level, the slower the speed of the subsequent increase would indeed become.
"This 'Martial Artist' rating... is based on martial arts, right... The number of skills is also related, right... It seems that I need to learn more later. The attributes are nothing more than the body, so I need to exercise more." Oboro had an idea in his heart.
These all had to be done step by step. Haste makes waste.
He got up and came to the top floor of the spaceship. There was no one here, only the doorway, guarded by several men in suits, two of whom were Nen users.
It was worth mentioning that although he had taken over Brown's forces, the Fiers Family had suffered a blow, and almost all of his subordinates had been wiped out...
They needed to rapidly expand the family's foundation and combat power, so David had recently been contacting Meteor City to buy people.
Some of the Nen users in the family right now had been selected from the Underworld Mafia, and their strength was average.
Oboro took off his coat, wearing a white shirt, and after steadying his breathing... He began to practice martial arts.
Life lies in movement, he couldn't be lazy...
...
The next day, the Fiers Family's spaceship landed at a private berth, and countless Mafia vehicles were waiting early in the morning.
When Oboro appeared and got off the spaceship, he directly took a car to his destination.
A hidden research base that was completely sealed off to the outside world.
In reality, it was a company that mainly did biological research.
Apart from meeting with the other Ten Dons, he had a major event this time... Which was the 'big project' that Brown had been held back by before.
A 'big client' who had transactions with the Ten Dons!
V5!
Oboro wasn't surprised at all that the Mafia had contact with V5. He had thought of it long ago that this was inevitable.
The industries involved by the Mafia were many, including research companies, arms, medicine, etc., which even V5 couldn't ignore.
As an official organization, there were many things that V5 couldn't put on the table, and at this time, the Mafia needed to do things.
Oboro used the Ten Dons as a stepping stone, and V5 was one of the reasons.
The huge gate slowly opened, and the vehicles drove into this building built in the desert, surrounded by power grids and turret bunkers, and surveillance.
The personnel patrolling inside and outside this base were so dense that it made one's scalp tingle, and it felt like even a fly couldn't fly in.
After a while, the car stopped, and under the guidance of a guide, Oboro came to an open outdoor area. The other nine people had already taken their positions. Some were talking, and some were on the phone, worrying about things.
"Hello everyone."
Oboro put one hand in his pocket, revealed a sunny smile, and waved his hand.
"..."
Except for two of them, the remaining seven people were seeing Oboro for the first time. They hadn't expected Oboro to have this kind of temperament, and he didn't seem like a Mafia boss who was on par with them at all.
It was as if... he was here for a trip.
"So it's you... Hmph, so young... To rise up by relying on a small family, and be able to kill Brown, you must have put in a lot of effort!"
"We're the Mafia... Brown being killed only shows that he's trash, and doesn't deserve to be in this position. He should be eliminated."
The woman who had a 'relationship' with Oboro said coldly.
"Well done!"
Someone also gave Oboro a thumbs up.
No one present would underestimate Oboro based on his appearance or age... Those who could climb to this position weren't good people.
"The person is here!" Before they had time to communicate and exchange pleasantries, at this time, one of them put down the phone, and said in a deep voice.
Everyone instantly stopped talking, and their expressions became serious.
Oboro didn't ask any more questions, and stood to the side.
After a while, three people in suits and leather shoes appeared. It was clear at a glance that they weren't from the Mafia... They had a public service vibe.
The person in the lead was a middle-aged man with fair skin and a somewhat fat body... He should be the leader of the three, and the other two were like assistants carrying bags.
The fat man glanced at the ten people, and his gaze paused slightly on Oboro, but he didn't say anything.
The people under his command sent over a group of protective suits.
Everyone put them on one after another.
"Let's go in."
The fat man nodded to a researcher.
Then, the ground in front of them trembled for a while, and a passage rose from the ground. The lights at the dark entrance suddenly lit up, and a group of people in white suits slowly stepped inside.
"A V5 official..."
Oboro walked at the back, staring at the fat man's figure, and narrowed his eyes.
Interesting... As soon as this person appeared, he immediately became the person issuing orders on the scene.
Although the fat man didn't express too much, the arrogance on his face was obvious. The Ten Dons, who could call the wind and rain in the underworld forces, didn't seem to be connected with big shots in his eyes at all...
Thinking about the V5's attitude towards Netero, and you could understand.
Moreover, this person definitely knew about Brown's death, but he wasn't interested in asking about it...
From the V5's point of view, it didn't matter if the Ten Dons had all changed, as long as it didn't affect the progress of their project.
The V5 was composed of the five most powerful countries on the human side, which were the United States of Saherta, Federation of Ochima, Mimbo Republic, Kukan'yu Kingdom, Begerossé Union.
In the early years, it was also these major countries that jointly sent people to the Dark Continent, and brought back the 'Five Great Calamities'...
Although the V5 wasn't the focus of the original work, the information in all aspects revealed that the V5 was the leading force on the human side in this world!
The real 'behemoth'!
The 'power' they possessed and controlled wasn't known to the world, but it was the real trump card of the 'human camp'!
In Oboro's view, the V5 was equivalent to the five permanent members of the UN Security Council in his previous life.
After inquiring a little, Oboro learned the official's name, Rod.
More than a dozen people went deep into the core of the base. What first came into view was an entire area of countless petri dishes, which looked like huge transparent jars, filled with unknown liquid, soaking various organisms.
The ordinary ones included lions, leopards, bears, wolves, etc., as well as insects and even microorganisms, and rare magical beasts that Oboro saw for the first time!
Several researchers in the base were holding some materials and documents, and were constantly reporting to Rod.
And they went to one precise instrument after another, explaining the data.
This base... this project, was launched by V5 using the power of the Mafia. The money was paid by the Ten Dons, and the basic manpower was also the elite transferred by the Ten Dons from their respective industries.
V5 was only responsible for sending a few leaders to do things... They didn't care about anything else. To put it bluntly... they were getting everything for free!
It seemed to be to transplant excellent biological genes or cells, in order to achieve the purpose of allowing humans to evolve without hidden dangers or sequelae...
The biological theory of evolution seemed to be unavoidable in every world... Humans were always pursuing a more transcendent life.
What's more, V5 knew the terror of the Dark Continent very well...
The human world seemed peaceful, but no one knew which day the 'end of the world' would suddenly descend...
"So... they have always been preparing..." Oboro thought to himself.
To prepare for a rainy day, if the 'apocalypse' were to descend one day, the human side could at least come up with some emergency countermeasures, and wouldn't just wait to die.
From this point of view, V5 was still relatively responsible...
He just didn't know if it was really for all of humanity, or just for their respective countries...
But immediately after, Oboro understood why V5 would entrust the Mafia...
They were taken to a separate secret room, and stood in front of a transparent glass wall, acting as spectators.
On the other side of the wall, there were several test subjects... All of them were humans.
There were old people, strong adult men, and women and children. There were people of all ages.
A researcher nodded, and someone immediately stepped forward, and injected a group of test subjects with tubes of purple substance.
Then, some people showed painful expressions, and began to roll around on the ground, screaming... The scene was a bit cruel.
Oboro personally saw a woman's flesh and blood begin to wriggle, and her body bulged with large bumps. Even her bones began to grow rapidly a second time.
She was completely turning into a freak... And finally lost her breath.
Some people also grew thick hair, showing a tendency to become beast-like.
But these people had one thing in common, which was that after being injected with the substance, the strength of their flesh and blood and their vitality were significantly improved... Oboro could clearly sense it!
Currently, the substance is still a semi-finished product, and the situation is much more stable compared to half a year ago...
Some people who originally had cancer or were dying have also miraculously survived after being injected with the substance, but their bodies will have some changes more or less...
People who have a stronger absorption and adaptation to the substance will have very slight deformities in their appearance...
At the same time, their body data and other aspects will be significantly enhanced.
According to our current stage of sorting, the stronger the quality itself, the greater the degree of improvement after being injected with the substance...
Among the several types of test subjects, prime of life men have the smallest mortality rate... A researcher reported to Rod.
"Not enough... The side effects are too strong." Rod observed for a while, and seemed very dissatisfied.
"..."
Oboro glanced at the others. If this substance were successfully developed, it would also be extremely beneficial to the Mafia.
It could greatly improve the combat power of the Mafia's grassroots... No wonder they hit it off with V5.
Good resources... were indeed controlled by a few people. Next, they were taken to another place. It was a prison.
It imprisoned all the test subjects who had successfully survived, without exception, they were all 'deformed'.
The head of the base was also preparing to explain a little, and show off his 'achievements'.
Who would have thought that Rod seemed to have lost interest, frowned, and immediately turned around and left: "Dispose of them all..."
What V5 wanted wasn't this kind of thing that couldn't be put on the table!
One of the Ten Dons understood, waved his hand to his subordinates, and signaled them to clear out these test subjects.
Afterwards, a group of people returned to the surface.
