Most of the people working in V5 are selected and promoted from official agencies of superpower nations.
The reason the Fels family can manipulate politicians of various countries is because V5 cannot interfere in that.
However, inserting personnel into V5 is not easy.
They have strict standards and thorough vetting for backgrounds, information, and abilities to ensure that the core departments are filled with "their own people." Because of this, over the years, the Fels family has been very cautious in operating spies and insiders within V5, making sure they won't be exposed.
The number of such agents is also quite small.
They can't just freely cultivate political newcomers and let them run wild.
Generally speaking, the stronger the national power, the greater the obstacles to the plan's implementation.
The same applies to the Kakin Empire.
Over these years, the Fels family has already established a firm foothold within V5, though they haven't been heavily favored or suspected… what's missing is just an opportunity!
Subsequently, through influence in some countries, the Fels family can provide these people with good projects and opportunities, and create some "troubles" to give them prospects for promotion.
As long as they keep it within bounds and avoid exposure or suspicion, it's fine.
Details are left to David and Fels Lily—no need for Oboro to worry about.
The mafia has already become an uncrowned nation. What he needs to do next is simple:
There is only one thing.
The Kakin Empire!
...
After some time, the ongoing mafia conflicts around the world finally showed signs of stabilizing, though they haven't completely ended.
The armed forces led by the Shadow Beasts control the underground situation across the continents, but some families are still unwilling to submit and want to establish their own factions.
And just like the situation in the Kakin Empire, the extent to which the Fels family can intervene is limited. Many local mafias have formed their own factions… and weren't affected by the Black Tide Incident.
Most countries infiltrated by the Fels family's influence only have partial control… Some royal families or elites still need to find ways to establish contact with them. This is also part of the plan.
Additionally, Kurapika has already distanced himself from the Fels family, and his current whereabouts are unknown.
But Oboro suspects that the best way for him to recover the clan's Scarlet Eyes from Prince Kakin is still to infiltrate the mafia… to join the mafia clans within Kakin's territory. Only in this way can he have a chance to contact the royal family.
Meanwhile, Killua and Leorio have already gone to the Spiders' family to retrieve Chrollo. The three split up, and Leorio began his solo medical training.
Later, Killua and Gon, unsurprisingly, went to the Sky Arena.
All this information was obtained from Illumi and Yun.
As for Hisoka, he's also disappeared.
Uvogin and Nobunaga retreated completely outside Hero's Island, causing minimal casualties to the Fels family.
Their main goal was just to distract the Fels family's attention on the night of the Black Tide Incident.
They weren't fighting to the death.
If Hisoka hadn't done anything to Machi, she probably already met with Uvogin and Nobunaga.
After giving some instructions and warnings to David and Fel Lily, Oboro left the family's stronghold.
He returned to the starting point of his fate.
The Sky Arena!
Oboro plans to visit Killua and Gon before heading to the Kakin Empire.
Moreover, Yun's several calls kept praising the two boys' talents, even openly saying… Their potential surpasses even Oboro's in the past.
"Nothing has changed… still so many people."
The next day, Oboro stood in the square of the Sky Arena, looking at the towering building piercing the clouds, and couldn't help but sigh.
Surrounding him was a surge of people walking back and forth—most of them tourists or fighters known across the world.
The entrance of the Sky Arena was lined with long queues, and business was booming.
"Is that guy Hisoka… also here?"
It's June now. Yun had mentioned before that Killua and Gon had already learned Nen, and were currently training on the 200th floor.
According to his memory, they would likely be fighting against Killua's "Big Soru," "Jido," and others. The first match between Killua and Hisoka is expected to happen in early July.
Then, he headed toward the entrance of the Sky Arena.
...
"Mr. Oboro… you're really impressive!"
Inside a room at the Sky Arena.
Yun was training Killua and Gon, practicing Nen together with Chrollo.
After a while, Killua, covered in sweat, lay on the ground, eyes shining with admiration, and sighed.
He and Gon had already mastered the basics of all Nen techniques. Now, the key step was to "release" it—that's the most crucial part of Nen cultivation.
Killua said this because Yun had told him and Gon about Oboro's deeds at the Sky Arena many years ago.
"You two… being able to climb to the 200th floor so quickly is thanks to him."
Yun sat nearby, looking at the two exhausted and fatigued boys, and smiled with narrowed eyes, "Back then, it was because Oboro kept advancing through the floors at an astonishing speed that the rules of the Sky Arena were eventually modified… After winning at the lower levels, the referee could directly promote fighters to the 50th floor or above, and they could fight layer by layer."
"Gon said he came here when he was young, so if we calculate the time, Oboro must have left not long after then… So, Gon should hear some stories."
"I don't doubt his strength… My father and grandfather also said that if Oboro becomes an assassin target, it will be very tricky."
Gon wiped the sweat off his forehead, glancing at Killua, and said with a wry smile.
He and Killua knew that Yun and Oboro seemed to be friends.
"Hmph, I'm just stating the facts. You're still stupid enough to think he's a good person."
Killua crossed his arms and rolled his eyes.
"If you don't believe me, ask him yourself."
Killua pointed at Yun.
He believed Yun knew Oboro very well.
Killua also looked at the teacher in front of him.
"Let me put it this way…"
Yun hesitated slightly, considering his words, and then raised one finger: "The Sidou you saw before… if his strength is here, then Oboro… is at least at this level."
Yun first held up one hand about half a meter high, then, when talking about Oboro, raised it to a meter.
"On the surface, it might seem that Oboro's strength is twice that of Hisoka, but that's not the case… The strength of Nen ability users, after reaching a certain level, becomes increasingly difficult to improve. Starting from half a meter, even a few centimeters difference can cause a qualitative change… You haven't yet passed the Hunter's Secret Exam, haven't graduated, and aren't qualified to participate in the association's affairs. So, you still can't understand the achievements Oboro has made, or the heights he's reached."
"Nen is closely related to a person's spirit and will… It's a reflection of personal will. In other words, to become a powerful and outstanding Nen user, one's personality must be extraordinary. The more extreme and pure, the more incredible the things they can do."
"A strong Nen user isn't a fool… Even if they lose their Nen, they're still not ordinary people."
"The Hunter world is very complicated, not simple… Oboro's current status is the result of many hardships and trials. Only through such experiences can one be tempered and grow. And a person like him, any move or thought—because of his strong Nen—will inevitably be infused with a strong personal style and pursuit. He definitely won't give up easily… So, anything that benefits his goals, he will do."
"I think that's also why Killua considers Oboro a bad person."
Yun analyzed.
