Chapter 154 - Nine Versus One

While it seems like a lot of locations, the places Gon and Killua traversed weren't that many.

And these six continents are extremely vast.

Luke's vision was extremely far-reaching, and he didn't care about the footprints of these two protagonists.

And the first to make a move, influencing this world, was naturally...

"The positions among the Ten Mafia Dons are basically settled."

Chrollo and Luke maintained constant contact: "In Ambrossa, both in terms of power and assets, we are subtly surpassing the other Mafia Dons."

"They were busy swallowing up local industries here before; now it's time to spit them out." 

Chrollo smiled, uttering those completely emotionless, cold words.

When Pablo Escobar inherited his uncle's legacy, the other Mafia Dons didn't jump in.

At first, Chrollo thought they were observing from the sidelines.

But later, Chrollo found out... Those fellows were actually waiting for Ambrossa to plunge into chaos and were taking the opportunity to grab the properties that had originally belonged to the Salvatore Malas Mafia family.

Strike while the iron is hot, or at the very least, take a piece of flesh from them.

This is the truest description of the Mafia Dons.

What about the so-called ten people who were on equal footing?

If the Ten Mafia Dons could become eight, five, or even fewer, the other Mafia Dons would be quite happy to see that.

They would love for the others of their rank to be eliminated as well.

That way, they could seize even more of the other party's vast legacy.

After learning roughly what had happened, Chrollo did not choose to strike immediately.

Instead, he watched coldly and held his position.

This continued until Ambrossa's computer parts factory was running smoothly and business was steadily booming.

And the Salvatore Malas Mafia Family received a significant personnel boost from Meteor City.

Their overall strength was even greater than before.

Under these circumstances, Chrollo finally made his move.

It was the quiet-before-the-storm kind of move, when the other Mafia Dons were gorged and complacent, thinking Pablo Escobar posed no real threat, their guard dropped to its lowest, and they were almost defenseless. 

Chrollo seized the opportunity and slipped in!

Under Pablo Escobar's rallying and call, and amidst Machi's considerable protest, Salvatore Malas Mafia Family offered a large sum of Jenny as a reward.

This spurred the ruthless thugs from Meteor City, their eyes bloodshot, as they roared with excitement.

One after another, fearless of death, they followed Chrollo's orders and charged at the other Mafia Dons.

"This time, I'll not only make them vomit up everything they've eaten..." 

Chrollo chuckled: "I also want a few slices of their flesh taken off them; this can't end so simply."

He intended not only to reclaim the territories that had been robbed, but to extract interest on top of that.

And coincidentally, Feitan, after reading for so long, was ready to get some exercise.

"If I don't interrogate a few guys soon..." 

Feitan counted on his slender fingers: "My hands are practically going to rust." 

Machi had no objections whatsoever, even wholeheartedly agreeing.

"Those other Mafia Dons have taken in quite a bit of good stuff. If we make them all spit it out..." 

Machi's eyes gleamed with that thought.

She wouldn't let any opportunity to make money slip by.

Therefore, under Chrollo's command, the people from Meteor City were howling with rage.

Plus, Feitan and the others were holding down the fort… 

The Salvatore Malas Mafia Family, with Pablo Escobar, a direct descendant of one of the previous Mafia Dons, was determined to reclaim his rightful place and title.

He officially sounded the horn of counterattack and charged towards the other Mafia Dons.

And this fierce attack, so sudden, caught the other Mafia Dons completely off guard by Chrollo. 

Add to that the Meteor City's residents, stronger and more ferocious than ordinary mafia members, coordinated under Chrollo's leadership. 

The other Mafia Dons had only a numerical advantage in terms of personnel; in every other way, they were inferior. 

Especially when they grew flustered and tried to organize a counterattack, their subordinates began to falter.

There was no way around it; those guys from Meteor City were all incredibly fierce and fearless.

But they were different; they still had a great life they hadn't yet enjoyed.

They couldn't just throw their lives away here!

Even though they knew this was a significant achievement, they needed to be alive to enjoy it afterward!

So, some of the leaders began to play it safe.

And the men below, seeing the subtle attitude of their superiors, hesitated.

At this moment, if the Mafia Dons offered a substantial reward, perhaps they could regain their morale.

But in their eyes, how dare a mere newcomer like Pablo Escobar challenge them?!

And besides, the remaining Mafia Dons still numbered nine, nine to one, the advantage is on their side!

The other Mafia Dons thought that, although they had been caught off guard, once they recovered, nine forces against one would be a piece of cake! 

That Pablo Escobar was young and hot-headed, shouting war at them without weighing the real strength difference, especially in manpower. 

They could simply wear him down to death.

The other nine Mafia Dons were quite dismissive of this and had even prepared champagne in advance.

They planned to celebrate grandly after Pablo Escobar brought about his own demise and was completely eliminated.

Therefore, they didn't take the reactions of their subordinates seriously at all.

After all, who could have imagined there was a force in this world that was strong enough to defeat nine at once?

So, it didn't take long.

Those other Mafia Dons who had initially been confident and were waiting to see the show gradually stopped laughing.

The forces at Ambrossa, led by Pablo Escobar, were completely unfazed!

They were even crushing the other nine forces!

If no external force had intervened, they might have been completely wiped out by Pablo Escobar!

From this moment on, the situation in the entire underworld became completely bizarre.

"How is this possible?!" 

The other nine Mafia Dons were utterly astonished and unable to accept this outcome.

After recovering from the shock, they were even more furious than before.

They clearly held such a significant advantage in numbers and power.

Yet, a newcomer had single-handedly crushed them all!

If this got out, what face would the Mafia Dons have left? The so-called emperors of the underworld, the Ten Mafia Dons, were reduced to this? Would their prestige be finished?

"No matter what, we must finish that bastard off quickly!"
