Chapter 52 Testing
Ailiji and his group followed behind, while the man with the braid led the way and opened the door. They then saw a spacious hall that was connected to the second floor.
Therefore, looking up from the first floor, there is a height of ten meters, giving people a very open feeling.
Just as the group entered the hall, a man wearing sunglasses jumped down from the second floor, along with a bento box cloth that had grown several times larger.
With just one glance, Ailiji recognized who it was: Xiao, a member of the Yin Beasts, whose ability was a magical wrapper.
It can materialize a giant cloth that can change size according to one's will. Objects and creatures covered by the cloth will be instantly shrunk and packed up, and will not be affected by physical damage.
This is a Nen ability that can easily kill someone on first sight.
"Get out of the way!" After saying that, Eligi instantly left the spot, and Gaara also used Sand Instantaneous Movement to dodge.
Not only did Jiao dodge out, but he also grabbed the owl with one hand.
This startled Owl, and upon seeing Kakuzu's inhuman hands and the black threads embedded in his body, he immediately dared not move.
Because Xiao felt a pulling sensation coming from his heart, he was afraid that if he moved, his heart might be pulled out by the other party.
The cloth that fell from the sky only wrapped the man with the braid inside, and quickly shrank itself into a bento box no bigger than the palm of a hand.
"What's going on? Why is it so dark? Where am I? Let me out!" The man with the braid inside the package struggled, causing the lunchbox to tumble around.
Seeing this, Eligi stepped forward and picked up the package, chuckling as he said, "Quite an interesting ability. You're also a member of the Shadow Beasts, right? What, are you trying to avenge your comrades?"
"Don't misunderstand, those three idiots are dead and that's it. My involvement was just part of the mission, a test to see what would happen to you," Xiao said truthfully.
"That's really boring. You should know our strength by the moment we killed the Yin Beast." Eligi shook the package in his hand and then threw it to Owl.
Owl caught the package, looking at Kakuzu, who was gripping his shoulder, with some apprehension.
The general released his grip and then pulled the black thread out of the owl's body, leaving a trace of blood.
Xiao felt a sharp pain in his heart. If it were an enemy, his heart would probably have already been removed. This was a master.
Xiao released the man with the braid from the package. After falling out of the package, the man with the braid felt a bit unlucky, but dared not say anything.
Because the Yin Beasts hold a very high position within the gang, they are a force directly under the command of the Ten Elders, and no one else can order or command them.
However, the Yin Beast was tasked by the Ten Elders to deal with traitors within the family.
Therefore, gangsters are extremely wary of the Yin Beast.
Without saying a word, the man with the braid took out a remote control and turned on screen mirroring.
A man appeared on the screen; he was Doyle Boley, one of the Ten Elders, and the highest-ranking gang leader in charge of the Sky Arena area.
Leaders of this caliber also have high bounties on their hands, and they may face more assassination attempts than Eligi on a daily basis.
Therefore, for safety reasons, such people generally do not meet with others in person, and mostly pass messages through intermediaries.
Or, like today, take some time to communicate via video.
Seeing that Eligi passed through two light cards in a row, Boli did not show any surprise, thinking that this was perfectly normal, after all, she was the person he had his eye on.
"I was quite surprised that Lord Ellig agreed to the recruitment so readily," Boli said with a smile.
"I was quite surprised to meet you this way too."
A smile crept onto Eligi's lips, for Aina was standing right behind Boli, which meant that things were halfway to success.
During this time, Scorpion also informed Eligi of the general situation, so he knew some things.
"I won't waste any more words. The benefits our Doyle family has secured for you are 400 million Jenny a year. Of course, this is just the most basic benefit. If you go on a mission, you can also receive other bonuses. It's no problem to reach over a billion Jenny a year." Boli began to explain the benefits of becoming a Shadow Beast.
Eligi was very tempted after hearing this, but he knew things weren't that simple. After all, he had been in the Hunter world for almost a year.
Ailiji still has some understanding of this world full of interests and temptations.
"What are the conditions?" Eligi asked, getting straight to the point.
Boli smiled and then said with a hint of confidence, "Naturally, they will completely submit to us ten elders and become true Yin Beasts."
The so-called true Yin Beasts are not simply employees; the Ten Elders must have their own methods of controlling people, otherwise the Yin Beasts would not be loyal to the gang just for money.
What the Ten Elders wanted was a sharp sword, not a sharp sword that would hurt their hands. So, none of the Ten Elders were fools to have reached their current positions.
If Aina hadn't been standing behind Boli, Eliji would have definitely refused such an unreasonable request outright.
"What are your demands?" Eligi was somewhat curious about what methods the other party would use to control his subordinates.
Without wasting any words, Boli directly instructed the man with the braid to take the item out.
The man with the braid took out the leather armor box that he had prepared beforehand, and after opening the box, he saw three capsule-shaped objects inside.
"These are three drug capsules. Don't worry, they're not highly toxic drugs, just some anesthetics. One milliliter is enough to knock out an orca. We'll send someone to implant the capsules into your hearts," Boli said simply.
So it was medicine! I never expected the mafia to have such methods. To be able to implant something into a person's heart, I wonder if the Nen user who performed the surgery was just a regular doctor.
"This direct approach is a bit hard for me to accept. How about giving me a year to adjust? After a year, when I'm more familiar with the environment, maybe I won't be so resistant," Eligi negotiated.
Upon hearing this, Boli frowned; this was indeed the first time he had encountered such a situation with Aliji.
Because the Ten Elders recruit Yin Beasts through special channels, the Yin Beasts do whatever they say and have no right to negotiate.
Boli fell into a moment of contemplation. The Shadow Beasts were a special force of the Ten Elders, not Boli's alone, so he did not have the final say.
Seeing Boli hesitate, Ailiji said, "The matter of the Shadow Beast can wait. Let's consider it as us joining your Doyle family. Your Doyle family will help us sort things out. Does that make it more acceptable to you?"
"Huh?" Boli was clearly surprised by what the other party said.
If that's the case, it would certainly be more acceptable, but the Doyle family might have to give up some benefits to others.
