In HxH with Doraemon Pocket
Chapter 281 - 280
This included his status, power, ambition, future prospects, shortcuts to success, and the key to maintaining everything he had achieved.
It could be said that if Neon's ability was stolen, then Light Nostrade and the entire Nostrade family would be finished. In such a situation, Light Nostrade's demeanor was understandable.
"Alright, I've talked for quite a while now, maybe too much."
Morin tapped the spot where his shoulder met his neck. "Do you know why I'm telling you all this? And even revealing some things about our Phantom Troupe?"
"Hmm?!"
The many assassins and mafia members who were intently listening to the information were collectively taken aback.
"That's because the dead don't leak secrets."
Morin tilted his head and said, "I hate trouble, so why not just make it..."
"One and done."
With that, a square box, about the size of a lunchbox, suddenly appeared in Morin's hand. On top of the box, red numbers were flashing.
"Let me see the power of this bomb that can level the entire building."
As Morin finished speaking, the countdown had already reached "2."
Just two seconds left.
"Get back!!!"
The hooded man's face lost its previous sickly expression and smile, retreating frantically backward.
He shouted, for once, as his aura surged outward to protect his entire body. Simultaneously, he spoke to Morin at his fastest speed ever:
"You'll be caught in it too, turn it off!!"
He used the simplest language to convey this crucial message to Morin. However?
Morin merely smiled lightly, ignoring him completely. Instead, he gently tossed the bomb in his direction.
Swish!
Then, Morin's figure vanished from the group's sight.
Instant teleportation.
"That bastard!!!"
The hooded man's eyes widened in horror as he watched the number change from "2" to "1," and then from "1" to "0."
Boom!!
A blinding white light completely filled his vision, consuming all his thoughts.
Not just him, the white light spread in all directions from that location, engulfing numerous buildings and mafia members.
Other assassins, experts, Dalzollene, Light Nostrade, and everyone else were swallowed by the white light.
When the white light reached its maximum extent, it covered the entire building.
"Phew... truly spectacular."
Having teleported outside, Morin couldn't help but whistle. Watching the white flames soar into the sky, it was as dazzling as fireworks.
"This should settle everything once and for all."
Morin clapped his hands. "Once Illumi takes care of the Ten Dons, this so-called mafia family can basically be considered history."
Inside the entire building, without exception, including the reception staff and waiters, all were members of the mafia.
The guests residing inside were all core elite members from various mafia groups, waiting for the upcoming underground auction.
Unaware and oblivious to what was happening, they became the fuel for this firework.
"No survivors?"
Morin used his En to sweep through, confirming the situation inside. The reason he spoke so much earlier was that he had long planned to give them this grand gift.
And even if someone managed to survive by chance, Morin had other means and tools to ensure that nothing he said today would leak out. But clearly, his backup plans were unnecessary.
The bomb from Doraemon, capable of destroying homes and nations, was indeed powerful. Yes, the weapon Morin used was one of Doraemon's large-scale destructive weapons. And he had more of these weapons.
For example...
The "Overlord Gun" and "Hotline Gun" were among the items Morin drew during these days.
The "Four-Dimensional Pocket" seemed to know that Morin was preparing for the Dark Continent expedition a year later, as various highly destructive weapons began to appear in succession.
The bomb Morin just tossed in the upscale hotel, capable of leveling homes and buildings, was a tool that Doraemon also took out in an episode when frightened by mice.
Based on the episodes Morin had watched and his understanding of Doraemon, the bombs Doraemon took out when encountering mice were roughly tiered as follows:
The first tier, which Morin just used, was the lightest, yet still powerful enough to blow up an entire home.
Judging by its precise power to destroy the hotel, if Doraemon were to use this bomb at Nobita's house, it wouldn't just destroy Nobita's own home.
Chances are, the neighbors would suffer as well.
The second tier was a town-destroying bomb, and the third tier was a nation-destroying bomb.
As for the fourth tier, it was a super-destructive bomb capable of destroying the entire Earth!
According to Doraemon's evaluation of power, he might have underestimated these levels. The Earth-destroying bomb might even obliterate the nearby moon.
Aside from drawing and using the first-tier home-destroying bomb, Morin also drew the remaining three tiers. And coincidentally, he got the last tier, the super-destructive Earth-destroying bomb!!
Yes, this very tool is lying safely inside Morin's "Four-Dimensional Pocket." Morin didn't understand why he drew the highest-tier bomb right away.
But one undeniable fact was that Morin didn't want it at all.
The home-destroying, town-destroying, and nation-destroying bombs were acceptable as they might be useful at certain times.
But the Earth-destroying tier... Morin would never use it.
Even though there's the Dark Continent in this world, which is extremely dangerous, it should still be part of a planet, right?
If the power of the Earth-destroying bomb exceeds Morin's imagination, wouldn't he be dooming himself too?
Moreover, Morin doesn't have an antisocial personality that desires to destroy the world, nor does he want to annihilate himself.
Therefore, this immensely powerful bomb was sealed away by Morin, never to be used.
In the sky, the intense white fireworks gradually descended after reaching their peak.
From afar, the sirens of the local city police could be heard continuously. The mayor of Yorknew City had sixty percent of his election funding secretly provided by the mafia.
The local police force's chief was also appointed by the mayor. In simple terms, this city was controlled by the mafia.
And now, the Ten Dons were destined not to survive the night. The core forces of many other mafia groups were also wiped out by Morin.
The only survivors were the Fureizu family, who had been following Morin's instructions, running errands, and providing information for him these days.
They were the largest local mafia family in Yorknew City. The mayoral election was closely tied to them. So, when the mafia worldwide was severely hit, it was their opportunity to rise.
"Whirr, whirr, whirr?"
Morin was just about to say something to Chrollo when his phone rang. The caller ID showed it was Baise.
Morin recalled that during the underground auction a couple of days ago, Baise had narrowly escaped and returned to the Nostrade family.
After this incident, having narrowly escaped death, Dalzollene, as the head bodyguard, refrained from assigning Baise any more dangerous tasks.
Instead, she was assigned to accompany Neon. Conveniently, both were women, and Baise enjoyed the leisure.
Teasing a little girl was quite easy and stress-free. So, these days, Baise was with Neon.
From this perspective, it seemed something had happened with Chrollo on that side, right? Morin thought so and then answered the call.
The situation was actually quite simple. Given Chrollo's personality, he would naturally choose to act at the most opportune moment without alerting anyone.
The best location for such an operation would be a place where the target could be easily captured and was guaranteed to go.
What better place than the women's restroom? In the original version, Neon was indeed taken in the women's restroom.
This time, with Dalzollene joining the assassination team, Kurapika was freed up.
