As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. After getting used to the human flesh made from corpses processed by Ron, the tongues of those wealthy and powerful bosses were definitely not willing to accept inferior tastes anymore.
With Ron's departure, the source of high-quality human flesh was cut off, leaving those rich bosses in a difficult position.
The old man rubbed his temples with his fingers, feeling a headache coming on. Of course, as a person from Meteor Street, it's not a big deal if explanations are lacking. But the most important issue is that the relationship and cooperation with those wealthy bosses might have come to an end!
Not to mention the loss of a significant source of income, his previously stable and excellent situation in the Council of Elders has become precarious again. As the highest authority on Meteor Street, many eyes are coveting the elder's position.
Ron's sudden departure left the elder feeling extremely upset. But since they have already left, there's nothing he can do but accept it.
After frowning and thinking for a while, the old man took out a personal mobile phone from his pocket and dialed a number.
"Beep~beep~click"
"Hello?"
After the phone rang twice, a steady voice came from the other end.
"Chrollo? I heard that during your assembly last year, member No. 8 was killed?"
The old man went straight to the point.
On the other end of the phone, there was no sign of embarrassment or anger; the response was calm:
"Yes, that's correct, member No. 8 was indeed killed, and I'm about to set out to find a new companion. Why, is the elder concerned about this matter? Do you have any suitable candidates?"
"You're right, I really have one, no, two suitable candidates here."
As the old man spoke, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Since Ron cannot be used by me, let me squeeze out the last bit of residual value from him.
"Both of them have great strength and possess special Nen abilities. One of them can clean up corpses, removing resentment and any tracking methods left by other Nen users."
"Oh? Is it similar to the ability to eliminate thoughts?"
On the other end of the phone, the voice seemed a bit interested.
"Yes, it should be considered so. As for the other one, she has a magical Nen Beast that can absorb all non-living things."
As a powerful elder of Meteor Street, he has detailed information on all the powerful Nen users who could threaten his position. Additionally, Shizuku has a pure personality and does not hide her Nen abilities, so the old man easily deduced Shizuku's approximate ability.
"They left from the northeast. If there is no accident, they should be heading to the city of Gumandun in the north. I will send you the names, photos, and characteristics of the two of them later."
"Is that so? I see."
A steady voice came from the other end of the phone. "In a while, I will send a sum of money to the Council of Elders in your name."
After finishing speaking, the old man's face was filled with joy, and the other end of the phone hung up timely.
"Huh~"
After putting down the phone, the old man let out a long sigh of relief and smiled brightly like a chrysanthemum. He knew that with Chrollo's support, his position as an elder would remain stable in the short term.
But what the future holds is uncertain. That damn Ron, wouldn't it have been better if he just stayed on Meteor Street?!
Thinking of this, the smile on the old man's face faded. He turned to the middle-aged man in black and asked, "Who accompanied Ron to the small garden yesterday?"
"It's Lucas."
"Hmph, Ron's desire to leave Meteor Street was definitely not impulsive; it was premeditated. That fool was so close to Ron yesterday, and he didn't even notice anything unusual. What use is he? Go, chop him up and throw him in the landfill!"
"..."
The middle-aged man in black looked up at the old man.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up!"
"...yes."
Seeing the anger in the old man's eyes, the middle-aged man in black bowed slightly, opened the door, and went out.
And the moment the middle-aged man in black walked out of the room, a gleam flashed across his originally calm eyes. The old tiger is not to be feared; this once vigorous and powerful elder is now old. He only thinks about his position and is useless, resorting to venting his anger by killing people.
Like an old tiger that has lost its teeth and claws, and its tail has been pulled out. Since you have lost your past demeanor, the position of elder is for those who are capable, so don't blame those of us below for using our thoughts and means!
...
While the old man was talking on the phone with a certain spider head, Ron and Shizuku were gradually moving away from Meteor Street.
In this wilderness, trucks occasionally drove from outside, loaded with piles of garbage, heading towards Meteor Street.
To save energy and get into the city as quickly as possible, Shizuku and Ron hitched a ride back after the garbage was dumped.
As for the ride, well, the driver was a good guy. Not only did he not ask for money from Ron and Shizuku, but he also allowed Ron to drive the truck while he slept on the side of the cab.
Ahem, he was definitely not knocked out.
