"They kidnapped the children from Meteor City, and no one knows what they'll do with them."
"Based on my understanding of the outside world…"
Luke paused, but continued truthfully: "They are very likely just using these children as tools to satisfy their own selfish desires, such as…"
"To satisfy their own desire to brutally harm others and gain pleasure from it…"
Machi also spoke calmly at this time: "There are people like that in Meteor City."
Well, even though Machi and the others are young, they have seen the cruel side of Meteor City before.
"So, we have been mentally prepared for these things."
Phinks touches his nose: "If we were out there, we wouldn't actively cause trouble for others."
"But if someone like that targets us…"
Feitan's usually cold eyes flashed with brutality. "Then we won't go easy on them."
Before they followed Luke, the two of them were a notorious duo in Meteor City.
Only Sarasa thought they were good people, and even asked Phinks to hand out snacks.
While Phinks and the others did have a kind side, that was only for their own people.
When facing outsiders with bad intentions, what will greet them is not smiles, but fists and blades!!
Nobunaga said nothing, simply raising the katana at his waist; he never let go of it: "We won't let those guys do as they please."
Franklin said firmly: "Or, after sensing malicious intent…"
Shalnark thought for a moment. "We can strike first."
Pakunoda nodded in agreement, agreeing with the others' opinions and views.
Protecting herself and the team was perfectly acceptable to her.
On the other hand, the gentle Sheila, upon seeing the others' expressions, hesitated.
"Tell me, Luke…"
A sinister smirk appears across Uvogin's face at this point: "Who are we going to kill?!"
He was no fool. Luke suddenly brought up this topic; it must mean he'd encountered some crisis or situation!
He, Uvogin, had been prepared for this all along!
"Is it related to the recent frequent kidnappings and disappearances of children in Meteor City?"
Chrollo sharply notices this.
"Well, I just met with the elder…"
Luke nodded slightly: "I learned about the current situation in Meteor City."
"I think we could use this group of people as a training ground…"
Luke's eyes deepened slightly.
"This way, we can get a sense of the depth of the malice these inhuman beings out there possess."
"And, facing them, what should we do…"
…
Under the dark sky, thick black clouds loomed over the land.
On the trash-strewn road below, a black van drove slowly along.
"Security has become very tight here."
Inside the van, a man covered with tattoos and moles all over his face, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, spoke casually as he looked out the window.
"Yeah."
The driver replied briefly.
"The quota of offerings is already full… Be quiet!"
The man covered with tattoos casually kicked the three hooded children lying in the car next to him.
"The hunt in Meteor City is almost over."
The man covered with tattoos tilted his head back and said contentedly: "Wait until we find the last one."
"Then we will have some fun, hehe…"
That perverse laughter quickly filled the entire van.
The next second, as the van drove into the nearby woods…
"Well now, speaking of the devil, there it is!!"
The perverted laughter transformed into surprise and excitement.
The man covered with tattoos peered out the car window with interest and saw a short child walking through the woods.
"Whatever I wish for has come true! It seems like heaven is helping us. We're truly lucky!"
He looked at the short child with growing satisfaction and waved his hand: "Stop!"
Screech!
With a sudden slam of the brakes,
The black van stopped directly in front of the child.
"This is our final prey for the day."
The man covered with tattoos opened the door and stepped out.
"It's also my own personal reward and toy!!"
He looked at the child, frozen in place after the sudden interception, seemingly scared stiff. The man covered with tattoos nodded in satisfaction.
"This size and height are just right. It's the perfect toy!!"
A glint of perverse desire flashed in his eyes. He glanced back at the driver, who was stepping out with filming equipment.
"This place is perfect."
The driver, with a cigarette in hand, fiddled with his camera, setting it up and pointing it in this direction.
Judging by his skilled posture, it was clear this wasn't his first time doing this.
"To be able to enjoy this before leaving, what a lucky find!"
Seeing the theater and stage already set up, the man covered with tattoos could no longer contain his excitement and approached the child.
"Now, how should I cherish you, kid…"
The man covered with tattoos couldn't help but lick his lips vigorously with his tongue.
The cruelty and greed in his eyes were unconcealable.
"Or, I'll do whatever comes to my mind, and then write it down on paper so everyone in Meteor City knows what I'm doing…"
"You all live here among trash, so you deserve to rot forever in this place…"
"Hehehe, I'm really getting impatient now. Just thinking about your cries and wails makes me tremble with excitement… Hehehe!"
The man covered with tattoos, with a strange smile, stepped towards the child.
But suddenly…
"Cherish, huh?"
The child spoke, his voice so deep that the man covered with tattoos froze in place.
Huh?!!
His eyes widened slightly as he saw the child raise his head, revealing a pair of narrow, foxy eyes.
"These words are truly disgusting!"
And as these words fell…
