The blade pierced through the flesh of the furious man, Rage.
In the next instant, the Killer Queen activated their ability, and Rage's entire chest exploded. The central part of his body disintegrated, and the surrounding flesh was torn apart, scattered as chunks of meat and blood.
Rage's eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
Killer Queen stepped forward and continued using her ability.
Killer Queen didn't stop until Rage's entire body was reduced to nothing but remnants.
------
The following day, Ron left the small cabin.
Most of the traces of the cabin were cleaned up. Even if someone came to the location, they would not be able to connect it to Ron. The events in Aurean were no longer related to him.
"However, the Shadow Beasts really are something."
"Compared to the Seven Deadly Sins, the strength of the Shadow Beast members is far greater."
"Even among C-grade Nen users, the difference in true strength is enormous."
"Two Shadow Beasts at the same time might still be manageable for me."
"But with three, I would lose."
"And in the original plot, the Phantom Troupe that defeated the Shadow Beasts only grew stronger."
"My strength isn't enough yet."
"I need to get stronger."
"I hope the fourth Nen Beast shows up soon."
Ron walked in the direction away from Aurean.
He entered the forest.
A strong scent of blood filled Ron's nose. He sniffed the air and looked in a particular direction.
Footsteps echoed behind him.
Ron turned slightly to glance over his shoulder.
It was another member of the Underworld Mafia. As soon as they saw Ron's back, they immediately became cautious, raising their weapons and aiming their guns at him.
Ron shook his head.
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
"Whoosh!"
A quick kill.
The members of the Underworld Mafia all fell to the ground.
Ron turned to look in the direction where the blood scent came from.
"If you really have nowhere else to go, head to Meteor City, just keep going north, don't look back."
With that, Ron turned and left.
At this moment, the only ones who could be chasing Ron in this location were the experiments from No. 2 Experimental Lab.
Ron didn't care much about these experiments.
However, this experiment had already escaped to this forest, and with the Rage appearance from the Shadow Beast, Ron's discontent with the Underworld Mafia grew slightly.
That's why he decided to give them a direction.
As an experiment, a monster, there are very few places that could accommodate them.
Meteor City would be one of the few.
"Last time I was in Meteor City, it seemed like the Phantom Troupe was about to make a move."
"Most likely, it has something to do with the power struggle between the Elders."
"With the loss of the Mad Beast, the Elder's strength has greatly diminished."
"They'll have to face outside enemies."
"Therefore, this could be the Phantom Troupe's opportunity."
Not long after Ron left, a figure emerged from the ground, looking in the direction Ron had gone. It seemed like they were trying to remember his silhouette before quickly heading north.
"What kind of place will Meteor City be?"
In Aurean.
A middle-aged man sat at the head of the conference room.
Below him, several senior members of the Underworld Mafia and the leader of the Shadow Beasts sat.
The middle-aged man surveyed the room.
"This incident has caused immense losses for us in Aurean and for the Underworld Mafia."
"The casualties in Aurean, the riots at Lab 2, the death and escape of the experiments..."
"Dandins left with all the data from Lab 2 and defected."
"Such betrayal was a direct slap to the face for the Underworld Mafia."
"No matter the cost, we must bring Dandins back!"
"Increase the bounty for Dandins to 200 billion Jenny!"
The Underworld Mafia had suffered catastrophic losses this time.
The conservative estimate was in the tens of billions of Jenny.
Thousands had died.
The majority of the monsters were either killed or escaped.
Only a few chose to submit.
Some hidden monsters in the corners of Aurean were still retaliating against the Underworld Mafia.
The Shadow Beast members lost two.
One was killed in battle with a monster.
The other went missing during a pursuit.
Also, one of the Seven Deadly Sins, Greed, had gone missing.
And so on.
The Underworld Mafia had lost many of its elite members.
The Ten Dons were furious and their anger could bearly be contained!
----
Ron's figure had already entered another city.
This city did not belong to the Underworld Mafia.
It was just an ordinary city.
Ron arrived at the designated hotel and checked in.
Once in his room, he immediately summoned Chii.
Soon, Chii gathered all the information about the Underworld Mafia and Aurean.
"As I expected, all the blame has been placed on Dandins."
"No one's focusing on me."
"Even the disappearance of Greed has barely been mentioned."
"This is what happens when you're a small fry."
"But, for me, that's a good thing!"
Ron closed his laptop.
"As for my relationship with Aurean, this is where it ends."
"It's no longer my concern."
However, there was one thing Ron did care about.
That was the fact that his actions had released all the experiments from Lab 2.
This was not something that should have happened in the original plot.
Most of those experiments were failures.
But a few had incredible potential.
What kind of impact would these potential experiments cause once they escaped?
"These experiments are somewhat similar to Chimera Ants."
"Both are beings that have fused traits of multiple creatures."
"The difference is that Chimera Ants base are the Chimera Ants, and from there, they fused human and other biological genes to create a new species."
"These experiments, however, are based on humans and fused with other biological genes."
"Without considering Nen, these experiments are weaker than Chimera Ants."
"But when Nen is taken into account, it's a different story."
"The potential of humans isn't necessarily lower than Chimera Ants."
In the original plot, the Chimera Ant King's aura was unmatched.
Even the three Royal Guards, with their immense aura, it seemed like no human would ever be capable of matching them, let alone their King.
But that was before humans had reached the Dark Continent.
Would humans who go to the Dark Continent evolve?
Evolution is not a privilege exclusive to Chimera Ants.
The Hunter Association was wary of the Dark Continent.
But Don Freecss could travel freely in the Dark Continent.
------
Ron purchased a ticket to Yorknew City via an airship online, with two transfers along the way. It wasn't a big deal, as the transfers were all at the same station, just taking a bit more time.
Only then did Ron begin to sort through the rewards of this trip.
"First, the progress of the Observer's Extreme Intent. After this incident, it has reached 50%."
"Second, the full data of No. 2 Experimental Base."
Ron wasn't too interested in Dandins's human experiments.
But he didn't mind keeping them for later use.
After all, these were resources the Underworld Mafia had invested heavily in to obtain.
Everything was stored in Chii's memory.
"Third, the intelligence of the Underworld Mafia."
Out in the public, information about the Underworld Mafia was limited.
But Aurean was one of the core cities of the Underworld Mafia.
So, the information obtained here was core intelligence.
The situation of the Ten Dons.
The status of the Shadow Beasts.
And much more (t/n is he going to sell info again?)
