Ryles's target is the heiress of the Hex Mafia Family.
This means that as long as they take action, they will inevitably face the core forces of the Hex Family.
Of course, Franklin wouldn't naively believe that merely sweeping away a group of armed gang members would suffice. And facing Nen users was an expected outcome.
It's just that, facing the two people who were suspected of being Enhancers, it only took him a little over ten seconds to end the battle.
As for the process—
He first used his Double Machine Gun to suppress Dorn, and then deliberately let Syneal come closer to engage in close combat.
Just when Syneal thought he could gain an advantage with his Enhancer-Type Nen, Franklin used his physical and Nen techniques to overpower Syneal, who was eager to launch an attack in close combat.
With no pressure, he took down Syneal easily, making the subsequent battle even simpler by tearing apart the isolated and helpless Doon with his Double Machine Gun.
After effortlessly ending the battle, Franklin originally thought it was almost over, but then, he noticed the presence of Moses and the others.
Without much thought, he activated his ability again, releasing a torrent of Nen bullets to attack Moses and the others in the distance.
To his surprise, a burly man like a rock stood in the way and blocked his Double Machine Gun.
'Another Enhancer.'
Franklin's eyes changed slightly.
He knew that this Enhancer who could withstand his Double Machine Gun was obviously not on the same level as the two from earlier. Their skill levels were completely different.
After seconds of attack, seeing that Wright remained as immovable as a mountain, Franklin decisively halted his assault.
The Double Machine Gun's firepower suppression in battle was outstanding, but its consumption rate was also very high.
Under the premise of not causing substantial damage, Franklin wasn't foolish enough to try to outlast Wright with this attack.
Converging the Nen hovering around his hands, Franklin stared at Wright in the distance expressionlessly.
As a member of the Phantom Troupe, Franklin would not hesitate to name Uvogin and Feitan when it came to the people in the group who he least wanted to fight against.
Uvogin possesses monstrous physical strength, as well as Enhancer-Type Nen that perfectly match that physical strength. In battle, his 'strength' alone is enough to allow him to withstand his Double Machine Gun.
Feitan, on the other hand, could easily evade his firepower with his ghost-like speed.
Now, seeing Wright's figure resisting his Double Machine Gun, Franklin couldn't help but think of Uvogin.
The Nen bullets from the Double Machine Gun were dispersed, and although they had the effects of Vows and Limitations, their concentrated killing power was still lacking.
So, in a direct confrontation, besides speed-based opponents who could render him helpless, the least desirable opponents were Enhancers with excellent attack and defense capabilities.
Of course…
If it were an ordinary Enhancer, his Double Machine Gun could still tear them apart.
However, the Enhancer in front of him exuded a presence which reminded him of Uvogin, and he is obviously not someone he could squash at will.
After making this judgment, Franklin ceased his attack and did not take the initiative to get closer.
After all, as long as the enemies didn't directly affect Ryles's actions, there is no need for him to attack.
From Franklin's perspective, there is nothing wrong with his judgment and response.
It's just that he didn't realize the real reason why Wright could withstand his Double Machine Gun.
Franklin already stopped firing, but Wright was still worried.
After experiencing this round of offense and defense, he could almost be certain that the opponent was a very powerful Emitter.
Without Moses's assistance, his Ken probably wouldn't have been able to withstand the opponent's attacks.
'It is obviously a scattered Emission attack, but it is so powerful...'
Wright's expression was grave.
Sira, who was protected, could not calm down either.
Only by witnessing the collision of Nen forces at close range could she clearly feel the danger.
Thinking back to how she had tried to defend herself with Nen just now, she couldn't help but feel a shiver down her spine.
She herself to calm down and tried to check Syneal's condition, only to find that Syneal was no longer breathing.
"…"
Sira clenched her fists, then thought of the situation on Koko's side and felt her heart tighten.
'I need to hurry up and get there.'
With this in mind, she could only pray that Fiona, who held the title of a Single-Star Pro Hunter, could protect Koko.
Moses was slightly relieved when he saw that Wright successfully blocked Franklin's attack.
It is currently impossible to confirm whether there are other members of the Phantom Troupe outside. So if he rashly fights Franklin, he will only bear huge potential risks.
What Moses wants is still to get out of here first.
Mainly because he was worried that Wright would get involved.
After all, the previous agreement was that Wright could not provoke the Phantom Troupe, but now, it was the Phantom Troupe who provoked Wright first.
"Wright…"
As soon as he opened his mouth, he saw Wright suddenly rushing towards Franklin.
Precisely because he had experienced Franklin's powerful firepower, that Wright wanted to shorten the distance as quickly as possible and then completely eradicate the threat through close combat.
This can be regarded as the typical combat style of an Enhancer.
"Stop!"
Seeing Wright rushing out so suddenly, Moses's expression immediately changed and he hurriedly shouted to stop him.
But Wright was already over ten meters away and couldn't stop midway because of Moses's words.
"He's really…!"
Moses frowned tightly. At this point, he couldn't just stand by and watch Wright face the pressure from Franklin alone.
Moses raised his hand and conjured a shadow sphere, and immediately used his Nen to propel it forward using Emission Techniques.
Whoosh—!
The shadow sphere turned into a black streak of light, flying towards Franklin from Wright's left side.
This attack method could divert Franklin's attention. At the same time, it could also transform into a clone form depending on the situation.
In any case, the goal is to help Wright alleviate some pressure when facing the enemy. After all, as long as there was an additional target for Franklin to attack, he wouldn't focus solely on Wright first.
And with the speed of the shadow sphere flying over, there is a high probability that it will become Franklin's primary target.
The reason Moses was so confident was because Wright had just 'blocked' Franklin's attack.
Using any fleeting 'information' from battles to construct traps or strategies was Moses's consistent style.
After launching the shadow sphere, Moses then circled to Wright's right side.
This would create two additional potential targets for Franklin to attack, ensuring that Wright had enough time to close the distance.
Moses was worried about this split-second decision. In conjunction with Wright's sudden charge, it formed a trident formation charging forward.
Franklin's eyes swept over Wright.
Just as Moses had expected, Franklin chose to aim his 'gun' at the fastest incoming shadow sphere with unknown abilities.
Bang bang bang-!
As Nen surged, chunky Nen bullets shot towards the shadow sphere in mid-air.
'It's just as I expected…'
Seeing Franklin's response, Moses calmly switched the shadow sphere to a two-dimensional state.
An inexplicable gravitational force pulled the flattened shadow sphere onto the ground, thus evading Franklin's barrage of Nen bullets.
Immediately afterwards, Moses swiftly transformed the two-dimensional shadow back into a spherical shadow sphere, which bounced off the ground and continued to rush towards Franklin along the side of the Nen bullet rain.
From the perspective of others, the switching between ability forms is like a black tennis ball that bounces up after falling to the ground.
Franklin felt a slight surprise as he adjusted his aim to chase after the shadow sphere.
Franklin did not realize that he was being led by Moses and continued to fire.
