It seems that many popular female characters in anime have a special feeling towards money.
Characters like Android 18 from Dragon Ball and Nami from One Piece are examples of this type of character.
"Oh, right, Mog... Captain~"
Uvogin was still switching between different forms of address, asking, "What are you planning to do next?"
Whoosh!
His question immediately drew everyone's attention.
All eyes of the entire troupe were focused on Mog.
"Me? I have my own plans too."
Mog simply smiled at the sight.
Then I looked up and gazed through the broken windows of the abandoned building at the distant starry sky and the bright moonlight:
"I think I'll get a hunter's license to play around with."
"Coincidentally, the next Hunter Exam is about to begin."
It's the end of 1986, and the next Hunter Exam in 1987 is just around the corner!
Chapter 112 Embarking on the Journey to the Hunter Exam! And there's someone even worse, stirring up trouble outside.
The Linusson case took a dramatic turn, causing a huge uproar around the world.
Despite the sprightly old man's efforts to quell and suppress such a message and news.
However, his political enemies and rivals will be his biggest obstacle.
The two sides are engaged in a deeper level of struggle over this very issue.
However, it is clear that the old man's political enemies currently have the upper hand.
Under the prevailing trend and the guidance of public opinion, the old man suffered repeated setbacks and ended up in a state of utter distress.
Naturally, they had no intention of caring about other things.
He couldn't care less about Anfulic, who had escaped, or the media outlets that first broke the news.
The old man also didn't bother to find the culprit who was hiding behind the scenes and orchestrating this whole drama.
He even thought these were tactics used by his political enemies.
These actions were all deliberately carried out by his opponents to target him.
Until that one sentence that was particularly noteworthy in Lennox's office.
The source was published by a certain newspaper.
"That's the motto from Meteor City!!"
"【We don't refuse anything, but don't try to take anything away from us!】—Meteor City has had this slogan up for ages!!"
"So, Linos has messed with Meteor City, has he?!"
Some quick-thinking individuals immediately recalled the locked-room incident involving Linos.
"Among the suffering children in his secret room, were there children kidnapped from Meteor City?!"
"That's very possible!! I remember that the Lisnos consortium previously expanded its business to the surrounding cities of Meteor City."
"That's right, I heard about it too!! And later, it seems that his branch offices near Meteor City, as well as some of the surrounding areas, were attacked!!"
"Then it seems to be Meteor City without a doubt. Did they do it to Lisnos?!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, they really went all out. No wonder it's known as the abandoned place."
"As expected, the people there are not easy to get along with."
"And they were all terrifying and powerful. The chairman of such a large conglomerate, they just killed him like that~~~"
"But Linus deserved it!! He persecuted those children, so this is entirely his own fault!!"
As that slogan became known to people in the outside world.
The existence of Meteor City has officially come into the public eye.
This so-called abandoned place is not as people imagine or believe it to be.
It seems to be more dangerous and more alarming than ordinary war-torn countries.
And when people in the outside world begin to have this awareness...
This means that Babagra's main objective has been achieved.
It allows people in the outside world to become aware of Meteor City's existence, but also makes it impossible for them to be convicted.
After all, there was only one sentence on the wall of Linos that could be used as a basis for judgment.
It cannot yet be used as evidence to establish a crime.
At most, people who are suspected to be from Meteor City can only be defined as criminal suspects.
Meteor City has a population of ten million.
This is no small sum for any country or city!
And it was while recalling the data of Meteor City.
Only then did everyone realize with horror.
I don't know when it started, but Meteor City has gradually grown and developed into the world.
A force that cannot be ignored.
And this is exactly the result that Elder Babagra and the others wanted.
To improve the world's perception of Meteor City.
Whether it's good or bad, at least Meteor City has completely entered the world's view.
That's enough.
The goal was achieved: not only did they successfully avenge themselves, but they also gained international recognition for Meteor City.
This was already a great harvest for Elder Babagra.
He also decisively withdrew, handing the stage over to the sprightly old man and his opponents.
As for Mog and his group, they went completely unnoticed.
"You did a great job!!"
When Mog and Chrollo reconnected with Elder Babagra.
The latter's tone clearly revealed a joyful and happy mood.
"I will remember everything you have done."
Elder Babagra's tone was full of satisfaction:
"If you need it in the future~~~"
"Meteor City will become your strongest and most reliable support."
"I hereby assure you."
Well, perhaps Elder Babagra was being very serious, and he might really be going to do it.
But for Mog and Chrollo...
"We understand."
Both of them nodded with smiles on their faces.
But after the call ended...
shuh~
Both of them quickly regained their composure.
"Just polite talk."
Mog shook his head.
"What the people of Meteor City said~~~"
Kuroro also uttered a profound statement: "You can't believe everything."
Even though Elder Babagra had given them a lot of help before.
But now, Mog and the others are also helping him make a name for himself in Meteor City.
Then they will face two completely different scenarios.
If they, as assassins, are exposed, they are likely to face endless pursuit and condemnation.
On the other hand, consider Elder Babagra.
Because he's based in Meteor City, his fame might attract more gangs and other dangerous organizations.
This way, we can also extract more benefits from them.
When it comes to personal gain, the one in power, the ruler of Meteor City, is still the best choice.
Not to mention that Kuroro has learned a lot of common knowledge about the outside world during this period of time.
Even without acquiring it, just based on these stacked buffs, Kuroro would no longer trust Elder Babagra.
Perhaps in the future, when the two sides have no interests or entanglements whatsoever.
Elder Babagra might be willing to do them such a favor.
But if it even slightly affects his interests...
Or, to put it another way, if we could exchange Mog and Kuroro for some good benefits.
Elder Babagra would most likely sell them all without hesitation.
But those things have nothing to do with them anymore.
Now that the deal with Elder Babagra has been completed...
So, what followed was that the members of the Phantom Troupe began to enjoy their personal time.
