In HxH with Doraemon Pocket

Chapter 297



"I never expected to witness the real thing here."

"150 billion Jenny..."

Squala gazed at the precious diamond with eyes full of envy and desire. If he got his hands on it, he would instantly become a billionaire!

No more worries for the rest of his life!! Forget about taking care of his little girlfriend and those dogs; he could take them all on a world tour without any problem!!

But alas, it wasn't his.

"Is this... for me?!"

Baise covered her mouth, looking at the diamond ring in Morin's hand with disbelief.

"Of course."

Morin smiled, his eyes filled with love. "What, don't you like it?!"

"No! I love it!!" Baise said, watching as Morin personally placed the ring on her finger.

"The most beautiful diamond ring in the world, for the most beautiful person."

Morin kissed Baise's palm, "Or rather, only the most beautiful person deserves the most beautiful diamond ring!!"

"It fits perfectly on your hand!!"

Baise was so moved that she was at a loss for words. At this moment, she felt like the happiest woman in the world!!

While placing the ring on Baise and holding her in his arms, Morin didn't forget to greet an old acquaintance:

"Long time no see, Kurapika."

Morin smiled as he spoke to Kurapika.

"Long time no see, Morin."

Despite feeling conflicted inside, Morin had been a companion during the Hunter Exam, making him something of a friend.

Even though Kurapika knew Morin was a member of the Phantom Troupe, his clan's demise had nothing to do with them. Besides, Morin himself was quite formidable, with a variety of strange and magical tools at his disposal.

Given these circumstances, Kurapika had no reason to show hostility towards Morin.

"It seems you've been doing well lately."

Morin glanced at the wary or curious bodyguards around them and smiled lightly. He had heard everything they said earlier.

"Who is he..."

Linssen and Melody were both puzzled and cautious about Morin's sudden appearance, wanting to ask Kurapika about Morin's identity.

"Morin? Is he really Morin?!"

Basho's eyes flashed as he scrutinized Morin with surprise. He remembered this name well, as both Baise and Kurapika were connected to this person.

Most notably was his identity: the deputy leader of the Phantom Troupe, seemingly the strongest member!

And the Phantom Troupe, besides being the most notorious criminal group in the world, was also the arch-enemy of their mafia family!!!

Just moments ago, Ten Dons had personally ordered the mafia members to attack the Phantom Troupe's base!!

Basho felt a chill run through him at the thought. The grudge between them and the Phantom Troupe was deep-seated!!

And most crucially...

Morin stood here unscathed, claiming everything was settled. Doesn't that mean...

That those mafia members sent to besiege the Phantom Troupe were all defeated?! That was the strongest mafia force gathered in Yorknew City!! Just like that...

Basho couldn't bear to think further. But that didn't stop others from letting their thoughts run wild.

"You are..."

Squala suddenly shouted, then "thud," he fell to the ground. His abrupt movement startled those around him.

"You're the one Ten Dons put a bounty on, a member of the Phantom Troupe..."

Squala trembled, unable to finish his sentence.

---

His lips trembled as he spoke. Despite having dark skin, at this moment, his complexion turned visibly pale, as if all color had drained away.

The reason for his intense reaction was primarily due to the unforgettable impression left by Uvogin's battle against the mafia members in the desert wasteland.

Even rifles and rocket launchers were useless against him, as he slaughtered all in his path.

This scene had etched a deep and indelible shadow into his heart, branding the strength of the Phantom Troupe into his very being.

"A member of the Phantom Troupe?!"

Melody and Linssen were also taken aback by Squala's words. They took a closer look at Morin's face and realized it matched one of the faces on the wanted posters distributed by Ten Dons across underground arenas and other places.

"It really is?!"

Both Melody and Linssen tensed up involuntarily.

"Why is a member of the Phantom Troupe appearing here?!"

Squala's mind was now a complete mess, unable to think clearly. His last remaining thought was the hope of seeing Arisa and his beloved dogs once more in his lifetime.

"Don't worry, Morin is my friend. He won't cause any trouble for you all!!"

Seeing Squala in a state of existential dread, as if his soul was about to ascend and he had already prepared for his last rites, Kurapika quickly reassured him, "He knows me and Baise, and he's here without any malicious intent!!"

"That's right," Morin nodded in agreement with Kurapika's words, showing respect. "I have no reason or desire to harm you."

"The other mafia members have already been dealt with by us. In our view, the battle is over," Morin comforted them.

"I see, is that so?" Squala breathed a sigh of relief. "So the mafia has been dealt with, and the battle is over... What?!"

His eyes nearly popped out of his head. "You said the mafia has been dealt with by you?! How is that possible?!"

Squala clutched his temples with both hands, shaking his head wildly:

"That was the most elite mafia force in all of Yorknew City! Under Ten Dons' command, they were deployed in full force. How could they... how could they..." Squala's voice trailed off, growing smaller.

He stared blankly at Morin, his mind involuntarily recalling the scene of Uvogin charging through the desert, cutting down mafia members like it was nothing. If it were the Phantom Troupe, it might really be possible!!

An astonishing thought suddenly popped into Squala's mind.

"All dealt with..."

Basho's expression darkened, confirming his suspicions. Moreover, when Morin spoke, there was no fluctuation in his tone, as if it was as mundane as slaughtering a chicken or a duck.

This meant the mafia members hadn't posed much of a problem for the Phantom Troupe, not even a hindrance.

The Phantom Troupe... truly terrifying in strength!!!

The others displayed expressions of shock or disbelief on their faces.

"So you understand now?" Morin continued, "We don't regard the mafia of Yorknew City as a threat. They can't do anything to us, so what value do you have that would make me come here specifically to target you?"

"If I really wanted to do something to you, you wouldn't even have time to react before I cut off your heads."

Squala: "..."

Linssen: "..."

Basho: "..."

Melody: "..."

Is this supposed to be comforting?!! It sounds more like a threat!

Squala nearly choked on his breath, and the others also wore complex expressions, silently lowering their heads. Is this the art of conversation for a member of a world-class criminal group?!

As they were still digesting Morin's words, he delivered another blow to their hearts the next second:

"The main point is that you don't have the value to make me take action, or even if I did, you wouldn't interest me."

"Of course, if I've said something too brutally honest that you find hard to accept, please forgive me."

The main message here is: you're all too weak to catch my attention, and I'm just stating the facts.

Everyone else: "..."

Indeed, that was a real gut punch!!

Does being powerful mean you can do whatever you want?!

Uh, it seems you really can do whatever you want, considering you've even dealt with the other mafia groups.

The Nostrade family certainly doesn't have that strength or confidence...

Faced with Morin's words, none of them could muster any rebuttal. After all, what Morin said was indeed the truth.
