"Really?!"

After hearing the report, Donald's face registered surprise, and his gaze instinctively turned toward Vivian in the conference room.

Vivian noticed Donald's gaze, and her heart sank with a sense of foreboding.

"Stand down!" Donald dismissed the man who had delivered the report. Once the man exited, Donald addressed the room with a grave tone:

"Everyone, I've just received word that the man known as Ethan and his two companions have launched attacks on multiple forces under Vivian's control in the outer area, resulting in significant casualties."

As he concluded, Donald's gaze returned to Vivian.

"What?!"

Vivian's worst fears were realized, and her expression shifted dramatically. Her out-of-control Nen shattered the floor beneath her feet.

"Kill them! We must retaliate!"

"Damn beasts, fight back!"

"No, please spare me!"

Roars, screams, and pleas for mercy mixed with the sound of gunfire, creating a chaotic symphony.

Victims fell, some riddled by a violent metal storm, others pierced by shadowy blades that appeared sporadically, and some sliced into pieces by sharp threads.

The carnage was relentless.

This scene unfolded at one of the outer forces of Meteor Street, a faction affiliated with Vivian, the ninth elder.

The deadly metal storm originated from Lisa's Gatling gun.

The shadowy blades came from Mia, utilizing her Gate Fruit and Nen.

And the sharp threads were the handiwork of Ethan's String-String Fruit.

"Ah! Go to hell!"

Firearms were commonplace among Meteor Street's peripheral forces, especially those linked to the elders. They possessed a variety of weapons, including heavy artillery.

Faced with continuous slaughter, the leaders of this force resorted to heavy weaponry. One Nen user, in a desperate act, armed a rocket launcher and aimed it at Lisa.

"Parasite Thread!"

A nearly invisible thread descended, landing on the Nen user's neck, breaching his Nen defense and parasitizing him.

The man's body froze, panic etched across his face, yet he couldn't control his actions. The rocket launcher turned and aimed at his own allies.

"No! Move out of the way!!!"

Realizing his impending betrayal, the Nen user shouted in vain. Too late, his fingers squeezed the trigger, and the rocket launcher fired.

Boom!!!

Amidst erupting flames, the rocket exploded nearby, obliterating the ground and annihilating everyone in its blast radius, leaving no trace behind.

"Bounce Thread!"

Under the Parasite Thread's control, Ethan flicked his finger, launching a thread bullet with astonishing speed and power, piercing the Nen user's head from afar.

"Ah!!!"

Amidst their fear, those near Ethan fired submachine guns and rifles in frantic defense.

But Ethan vanished as an afterimage, dodging with ease.

Thanks to the [Emperor Engine]'s danger sensing ability, Ethan anticipated incoming attacks and evaded them preemptively.

Reappearing above the shooters, Ethan looked down coldly as threads erupted from his palm.

Chi chi chi....

It was as if a deluge descended from above.

The threads pierced the skulls of those below, killing them instantly.

"Lisa, Mia!"

After landing, Ethan surveyed the battlefield. Seeing few enemies left, he called out.

Swish!!

In response, an air door appeared beside Lisa, who ceased her firing and dashed through it without hesitation.

The air door closed, vanishing.

Ethan performed hand seals.

"Fire Release: Great Fire Annihilation!"

His chest swelled as he unleashed a torrent of flames, transforming into a sweeping inferno that engulfed the remaining foes.

"Ah!!!"

Engulfed by flames, screams echoed through the burning inferno, figures briefly visible before collapsing into the fire.

The scent of charred flesh filled the air.

Ethan coldly surveyed the blazing sea of fire, then turned away.

Whoosh!

An air door materialized before Ethan. He stepped through, and like Lisa, the door sealed behind him, leaving no trace.

From the battle's onset to the flames consuming the defenders, less than ten minutes had elapsed.

In this assault, few within the force survived.

And this was not an isolated incident.

Within a few hours, similar skirmishes occurred throughout the outer area.

The result: devastating losses for the attacked factions.

"It's terrifying. Just three people wiped out this place."

"Who are these three? This is the Ninth Elder's territory. How dare they?"

"This is the third force to fall, as far as I know. Are those two men and one woman enemies of the Ninth Elder?"

As the conflict subsided, nearby forces and Meteor Street residents cautiously approached.

Witnessing the scorched earth and scattered corpses, they were filled with horror and shock.

In the hierarchy of Meteor Street, the forces under each elder rank highest.
