Chapter 37 Pressure of Life

Law just glanced casually at the red-haired boy, who is sitting on the roof while chewing gum. Law felt that he looked a little familiar, but didn't pay much attention to it.

After determining the correct direction, Law continued leaping across rooftops. When he finally had a clear view of the church, he chose a nearby alley, jumped down, and made his way to the main street, then walked toward the church.

Although the church is not a hospital, it is a place that provides treatment...

Chapter 36 Concept

The buildings in Meteor City are tightly packed, with numerous alleys weaving through like a miniature labyrinth. There are many electric wires and cables tangled above, blocking most of the light sources.

In this kind of environment, it is difficult for someone unfamiliar with the area to get out.

It would be a lie for Law to say he didn’t feel resentful after being left here by Chrollo.

Walking alone through the dim alleys, Law thought about the evil-faced, sharp-snouted...

Chapter 35 Potential Trouble

Rumble…

With a low rumbling sound, the stone slab on the ground slowly slid aside.

The people waiting silently inside the house immediately turned their attention to the floor as it moved.

When the entire stone slab was completely removed, the first person to emerge was Law.

After seeing Law, Chrollo's expression remained unchanged. At this moment, he believed with Law's statement about his Nen Ability. If he didn't like reading, it would be impossible for Law to mas...

Chapter 34 Shin

Rust coated the blade, but the blade remained unchipped.

After a long period of sedimentation, it should no longer be effective in killing the enemy, but Law couldn't shake his desire to obtain it.

This is a sword... that has gone through countless life-and-death battles but has never tasted blood. It is also a sword used by a Nen User.

Shin

Quality: rare treasure

Age: 922

Description: The sword is forged by the famous swordsmith, Moose, in his later years....

Chapter 33 Music Score and Rusty Sword

Law's targets were the sword and the strange urn, but he felt it would be better to leave the appreciation of these two things in the middle or the end of his appraisal sequence.

The first item he chose was the monkey stone statue, which was nearly one meter tall. It depicted an upright monkey wearing a sharp-pointed hat. Its appearance and expression were extremely vivid, and the cruelty of human beings was fully expressed through its expression.

The craftsmanship was exceptional...

Chapter 32 A False Alarm

The basement wasn’t large, about 150 square meters. Its walls and floors are made of white stone bricks with uneven surfaces.

There are ten square stone pillars standing in the room. Each pillar was the same height, though their bases varied in size.

The six collectibles are placed on six of these stone pillars and covered with a layer of transparent glass, making it look like museum’s display.

The six collectibles are a sword, a stone lamp, a silver bowl, a golden pen, ...

Chapter 31 Basement

Chrollo explained Law's value, but the Elder's response was very bland, with only a short, "I see".

Then, the Elder extended a slightly withered hand toward Law.

Without needing any prompt from Chrollo, Law calmly walked forward, placed the Hand of Ominous Signs on the Elder's hand, then took three steps back, maintaining a distance of slightly over a meter from the Elder.

1.2 meters is the standard safe distance between individuals. It will neither be abrupt enough to appea...

Chapter 30 Elder

Start from the church in the center of Meteor City, Chrollo led Law into the East District.

After walking a short distance down the main street, they veered into a narrow alley.

The main street is spacious, but above the alleys are cables and wires crisscrossing like a tangled web, which block part of the sunlight and make the alleys quite dark.

As soon as they walked into the alley, they can see rats and cockroaches running around, and they can also see the residents of Met...

Chapter 29 Appraisal

High expectations met with harsh reality.

Law's cooking skills may not be as good as those of famous chefs, but his tongue is very powerful, so he is often treated as a guest of honor by famous chefs.

The smoked meat, which looked good, tasted like smoke and was lightly salty when chewed. Law could easily tell that apart from that, no other spices were added.

This method is a complete waste of such good quality pork. This is Law's evaluation after eating a piece of smoked me...

Chapter 28 Unimaginable

The crutch came down, but Law easily dodged it.

Machi put down the crutch, looking slightly angry, but she did not take any further action. After all, her legs were injured, and even if she wanted to teach Law a lesson, she was currently powerless.

Although she was only ten years old, she already had a clear understanding of matters between men and women. It would be a lie to say that she was not shy when her body was seen naked.

However, she had a strong personality and blu...

Chapter 27 The Dreaded Silence

In this situation, Chrollo, despite being an outsider, held control over the overall situation.

The Elder had given Chrollo a deadline, which was equivalent to the time for Law to escape. This could be interpreted as the Elder showing Chrollo some respect.

From this, it can be seen that Chrollo and the elders have a close relationship, and it can also be seen that Cook’s death was not serious enough to make the Elder angry, otherwise, he would not have given Chrollo a time limit...

Chapter 26 A Special Feeling

To Law, Meteor City was just a place to rest temporarily. After all, the first place he stumbled upon in this world was the landfill.

From the very beginning, Law didn't think he could stay in Meteor City for too long, nor could he have any sense of belonging to Meteor City.

Therefore, if the Council of Elders wanted to pursue him over Cook’s death, he would just run away without any hesitation. Fortunately, the Hand of Ominous Signs he stumbled upon had significant value. So if...

Chapter 25 Survive Today

Although Law doesn't know everything about Chrollo, he definitely knows Chrollo better than Machi and the others.

More than ten years later, Chrollo would become a dangerous figure, no less powerful than Hisoka.

Although Chrollo is only twelve years old now, he cannot be underestimated.

"So, how much can this piece of wood actually sell for?" Machi stared at the Hand of Ominous Signs in Chrollo's hand. Though Chrollo mentioned fifty percent of the market price earlier, he ha...

Chapter 24 Teasing

The same age, the same black hair and black eyes, the same obsession with books which created their Nen Abilities, the same smile...

But Chrollo had a faint smile, while Law had a bright and cheerful smile.

The two looked at each other silently, and the conversation paused for a moment.

For Chrollo, this first brief interaction sparked immense curiosity about Law. For Law, however, the impression was less favorable, which is mainly to Chrollo’s initial question that still ...

Chapter 23 Dangerous Person

There is only one church on Meteor City, which is Gothic in style and has nothing to do with luxury.

The interior space of the church is very spacious, and the windows for lighting are very simple. The glass is transparent without any exaggerated patterns.

The morning sun shone through the window, slanting down where Law and Chrollo’s gazes met.

The opening and closing of the church doors, though not forceful, stirred a light breeze that lifted the dust from the floor. The...

Chapter 22 Chrollo

It is good news that Uvogin has woken up, as Law can take Nobunaga to the church without worry.

Since Nobunaga’s injuries made it risky to move him at will, Law used whatever materials were on hand to make a simple stretcher.

After Machi explained what had happened while he was unconscious, Uvogin endured the pain and angrily kicked Cook’s corpse, sending it flying dozens of meters away.

That kick wasn’t just brute force, and it was actually infused with Aura.

Af...

Chapter 21 Experience

April 25, 1985.

Law personally ended the life of a demon disguised in human skin.

There was a lot of luck involved in being able to win against Cook, and it was also a life-and-death gamble with his life at stake. If the Nen Ability he used could not accomplish the task, then it would have been Law lying lifeless on the ground at this moment.

Although Law's strategic planning and quick calculations were impressive, ultimately, it was Cook's arrogance and self-destructive ten...

Chapter 20 The Hand of God

Thump... Thump…

The vibrant heart, which is encased within the transparent Nen sphere, pulsed rhythmically in Law's left hand. Its beating also intensified, growing faster with each passing second.

"That's right. You're afraid."

Law took a look at the heart that was separated from Cook's body in his left hand. Judging from the beating frequency, Cook was indeed afraid.

"This... is this your Nen Ability?"

Cook's face twisted in a grotesque mix of rage and terror...

Chapter 19 Unspeakable Ability

Underestimating an opponent can often sow the seeds of disaster.

What you hear is not as good as what you see.

Because of watching and coming into contact with him, Cook believed that Law posed no threat.

He had observed the clumsy, error-ridden punches, the unstable and inexperienced Ten, and the unnecessary movements revealed during his movement.

Every observation reinforced a single fact in Cook’s mind: Law is just a novice who had only recently begun to grasp Nen...

Chapter 18 How To Defeat The Strong As The Weak

Machi let out a muffled scream as she was thrown dozens of meters through the air before landing heavily on the ground.

Even after she hit the ground, the force behind Cook’s throw hadn’t fully dissipated. She continued to roll for over ten meters before slowly stopping.

On the ground, there was a red trail of blood, which was extremely eye-catching.

Cook had casually stabbed Machi’s thighs twice before tossing her aside like discarded trash.

In just a few second...

Chapter 17 Scalpel

Killing intent is a very vague thing. It is not a physical entity, but it has the same feeling as a physical entity.

The bald man, Cook, did nothing to hide his sinister desire to brutally murder the four people before him. Through his Aura, he magnified this inhumane thought to the extreme.

Then, the killing intent pierced Law and the other three like countless needles.

The sensations created by these invisible needles kept reminding Law and the other three, telling them tw...

Chapter 16 Danger

The meeting point is an open space and is quite conspicuous.

When Law arrived at the meeting spot with the Hand of Ominous Signs in tow, Machi, Nobunaga, and Uvogin were already there, and each of them had brought a sizable haul.

"Hey, is that all you got in two hours?" Nobunaga, who is leaning on a pile of steel wreckage, was a little dumbfounded when he saw the piece of wood in Law’s hand.

Why was this global landfill called the ‘dumping zone’ instead of a garbage si...

Chapter 15 The Hand of Ominous Signs

The white smoke in Law’s mindscape formed text that emerged on its own, and the content it displayed left Law stunned.

Hand of Ominous Signs (Damaged)

Quality: Treasure

Age: 920 Years.

Description: Revered by the people of the Lilit Tribe, who believed it could channel curses through a smear of crushed fingers upon its surface. They held that this could plunge their enemies into calamity. This artifact contains lingering Post-Mortem Nen. Absorption is advised.

...

Chapter 14 Cook

The room was filled with thick smoke, giving it an almost ethereal atmosphere.

A few heavy smokers were playing cards and puffing away leisurely, which made it even more impressive that a few men in the corner managed to keep up their workout routines.

When Marza pushed the door open, these people remained engrossed in their activities, and only the bald man and the chubby man paid attention to him.

"Boss."

Marza was used to this, so he walked past the group of people ...

Chapter 13 Progress

Strictly speaking, using Aura to increase his own strength is a bit shameless, after all, Uvogin does not know how to use Aura.

However, Law’s body had inexplicably shrunk to that of a ten-year-old, and all his physical metrics had also regressed to that age, while Uvogin was fifteen years old. This fundamental disparity was unavoidable.

Additionally, the more apparent difference lay in their physique.

Uvogin had trained consistently for years, and his physical fitness has...

Chapter 12 Explode

Uvogin's passions are training his body and fighting.

When it came to training, Uvogin was persistent and even can be called crazy. That’s why he has such extraordinary physique and strength that far surpassed his peers. As for fighting, Uvogin had a broad definition of the term. To him, even arm wrestling qualified as a form of fighting, as it is a competition where strength dictated victory.

Neither Machi nor Nobunaga had ever seen Uvogin lose to others in strength. So when th...

Chapter 11 Intuition

"What are you guys doing?"

Machi was forced to take a step back by the three men's odd, synchronized stares, and she subconsciously pulled out the threads hidden in her sleeve.

"Hmm, nice weather we’re having." Law was the first to react and immediately averted his gaze elsewhere.

Nobunaga turned sideways, raised his head and whistled nonchalantly to cover up his previous action. He wanted to put his hands in his pockets, only to awkwardly realize his protective suit had n...

Chapter 10 Arm Wrestling

Meteor City wasn’t a city in the conventional sense, and its so-called ‘exit’ was more of a gap. As long as one stepped outside the cluster of buildings, that means they have left Meteor City. But then, they still have to walk one kilometer to reach the landfill.

Uvogin spotted Machi and Law from a distance. Standing several hundred meters away, he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Machi, you are late!"

"Your voice is too loud!" Nobunaga, who is leaning against the wall of a...

Chapter 9 Awareness

Machi’s kick silenced the entire scene.

Law reached up to wipe nonexistent sweat from his forehead, realizing he had underestimated Machi’s strength.

‘She could actually kick such a strong adult one meter away with one kick. Such image was as surreal as a petite girl kicking a bear.’

The onlookers, many of whom had come to spectate, now cautiously observed the frost-faced Machi. As the saying goes, there are all kinds of birds in the forest, and there were many ‘lo...

Chapter 8 Tongue

As long as one proceeds step by step, anyone can learn to Nen. In other words, there is no threshold to train Nen.

However, while learning Nen is not difficult, mastering it is an entirely different matter.

Law was not a reckless person, and there are two reasons why he responded to Marza's provocation.

First, he wanted to test the effectiveness of Ten, and secondly, he could feel that the Aura that leaked out of Marza's body was extremely faint and is still within the ranks...
