After sending away Light Nostrade, whose excitement was so great his legs felt like they were stepping on clouds, Luke also called Pablo Escobar to explain his situation.
Clearly, Pablo Escobar felt a strong resistance and wariness toward Light Nostrade's addition.
But due to Luke's order, he didn't dare voice even the slightest complaint.
No matter what thoughts he had, he could only bury them deep in his heart.
And this was good for Luke.
People under him needed competition and a sense of crisis; that was the proper way to run an organization.
With the pressure of Light Nostrade, Pablo Escobar would naturally work harder for Luke.
And Light Nostrade, wanting to completely replace Pablo Escobar as one of the Mafia Dons, would also certainly work even harder...
For Luke, it was perfect.
After handling matters regarding Ambrossa and the underworld, Luke spoke with Chrollo over the phone.
Just as Luke expected, after the elders at Meteor City learned that their person had been wrongfully accused, they naturally would not sit idly by.
It was said that this time, an elder who had already awakened Nen abilities was personally leading the team.
They were determined to deliver a resounding slap to the outside world.
"In the words of Elder Veyron and the others, the outside world still hasn't understood Meteor City's attitude."
On the phone, Chrollo said with a smile to Luke: "In their minds, they still think Meteor City is an insignificant little place."
"With no social identification papers, they are not considered equal to real people."
"So Elder Veyron and the others intend to make the outside world re-recognize Meteor City."
"Let them understand what the real Meteor City is like, and reduce their misunderstanding of it..."
Clearly, Elder Veyron and the others planned to do something big again.
At the very least, they would use somewhat extreme and radical means to properly express their stance.
And those means would inevitably be paid for with blood, repaying the wrongful debt.
Luke had no intention of interfering.
This was Meteor City standing on its own ground, speaking its own voice to the world.
Strictly speaking, the homeless man from Meteor City had done nothing wrong; he was a victim.
Not to mention that all those who framed him, wanted to execute him, strip him of his life, and trample his basic human rights, were all deserving of punishment.
If they were so wantonly and coldly trying to murder others, they should have considered what fate awaited them.
Thus, as long as things didn't get too big or go too far, Luke planned to help cover things up a bit.
It was something within his ability, just pushing the boat with the current.
After Luke and Chrollo finished handling the Meteor City matter, Luke returned once again to the Hunter Association headquarters building.
And this first intervention of his immediately made his name known.
Almost all professional hunters who paid attention to the association's movements already knew that their Vice-Chairman, Luke, had handled the globally sensational case together with Mizaistom Nana.
And according to certain insiders, after their Vice-Chairman Luke met with that supposedly iron-blooded, strict, righteous judge of that country, the judge was instantly intimidated by Luke's presence, his body turning weak, his voice and body completely out of control, as he confessed every detail of how they wronged that homeless man.
He even provided evidence on his own, completely nailing his own crimes to the pillar of shame.
It was an ironclad case that couldn't possibly be overturned.
With merely a single appearance, he made such a key member of the opposing side surrender entirely and confess.
This caused Luke's fame to spread instantly and rise rapidly.
If before, some professional hunters still doubted whether such a suddenly-emerging Vice-Chairman could really sit well in that position and do the job properly, then now...
The worries of these people were completely unnecessary.
Through this incident, Luke had already proven his ability.
Not to mention that after arriving at the scene, he directly obtained the entire process of the matter and the evidence from the hostile forces.
This was equivalent to directly resolving such a very difficult and troublesome case.
Moreover, according to another insider's account, the V5 ambassador present at the scene was also impressed by Vice-Chairman Luke's demeanor.
They had no objections to the solution proposed by Vice-Chairman Luke!!
Although Luke mainly didn't want to argue too much with the dead at that time, that was why there were no objections.
But in the hearts of these professional hunters, they didn't care about that; they simply believed it was because of Luke.
This legendary experience also allowed Luke to begin gaining some followers within the Hunter Association.
Furthermore, the so-called notion of intimidating the enemy most likely came from Luke's Nen ability.
This was guessed by many professional hunters.
However, because of this, their trust and admiration for Luke did not decrease.
No matter what kind of Nen ability it was, as long as it could solve problems, it was a good ability!!
As long as it helped the Hunter Association and professional hunters resolve issues, he was the best Vice-Chairman!!
These professional hunters admired the strong, and they were very realistic.
But this had little to do with Luke, and he didn't care about any of it.
He would never let the thoughts of others have any influence on him.
He even had reason to suspect whether the formation of this public sentiment had the shadow of Pariston behind it.
With that guy's sinister personality, he couldn't be too careful.
"Fortunately, for the time being, he hasn't made such plans yet..."
Back in his luxurious Vice-Chairman's office, Luke immediately received the report from the House Robot.
During the period Luke was away, all the various big and small things that happened in the Hunter Association headquarters had been recorded by the House Robot.
No one here could have imagined that, inside this headquarters building, there was a pair of eyes they couldn't see, silently watching their every move.
Even Pariston hadn't noticed this.
Mainly because Luke had especially instructed the House Robot to pay extra attention to Pariston.
With preparation in advance, the House Robot naturally became more cautious and even more well-hidden.
Thus, Pariston's actions during this period never escaped its control.
Luke also came to understand exactly what Pariston intended to do…
