Ethan glanced at the other people on the nearby garbage piles with cold eyes.

Wherever his gaze fell, those who were considering making a move quickly averted their eyes, some lowering their heads to continue rummaging through the trash, while others fled without looking back.

"The people here are not only fierce but also very aware of the current situation," Lisa remarked, noting the reactions of those around them.

"It's normal. Everything here revolves around survival. If they see a lamb, they'll attack, but if they realize it's a tiger, they'll back off immediately. It's a very pragmatic and straightforward survival instinct," Ethan replied calmly.

Mia frowned and said, "The environment here makes me very uncomfortable. It's better to complete the task and leave as soon as possible."

Cruel survival rules are naturally unpleasant.

If given a choice, no one would want to live in such an environment.

After asserting their presence with decisive action, Ethan led the two women toward the city center.

Of course, they encountered similar situations along the way.

Intimidation only works on those immediately present.

In the harsh environment of the garbage mountains, many people would inevitably attempt to attack Ethan and his companions out of greed.

Repeated confrontations and necessary force took Ethan and the group half a day to reach the depths of Meteor Street.

Just as they had seen from a distance, there was a city nestled deep within the garbage.

The towering city wall separated the inner city from the surrounding waste, and the entrance gate was heavily guarded.

Compared to those living amidst the garbage, the people in the city looked entirely different.

Those who could enter and leave the city gates wore relatively clean clothing, not much different from outsiders.

At the same time, entering the city required a fee, although the guards did not conduct interrogations.

This entry fee also had a time limit. If it expired without renewal, individuals could be imprisoned upon discovery.

Ethan had gathered some knowledge of the situation here before arriving at Meteor Street.

Meteor Street is a special area, independent of the outside world.

While the inner city of Meteor Street follows its own set of rules, known as the laws established by the so-called Council of Elders, it allows anyone to come and go, regardless of their status, as long as they don't violate these laws. People can even settle here long-term.

There were no surprises during the process of entering the city. After paying the entry fee, Ethan and his companions entered the inner city smoothly.

The contrast between the inner and outer city of Meteor Street was stark.

Not only was there no visible garbage, but the streets and houses were clean, and there were patrols of guards [which seemed more orderly than in many places outside].

"Let's go, let's complete the residency procedures first."

After entering the city, Ethan first took a walk around with Lisa and Mia, and then went to the administrative building to complete the necessary procedures.

Since hunting all the criminals would take more than a day or two, Ethan and the group needed a place to stay for a while.

Ethan wasn't short on money. After completing the residency procedures, he rented a house through an agency for their stay.

"If I hadn't come here myself, I don't think I would have ever believed a place like Meteor Street existed," Lisa said after briefly cleaning the rented house. She tied her messy hair into a ponytail and sat on the sofa to rest.

Even though she had researched it beforehand, experiencing it firsthand clearly left an impression on her.

"Indeed, chaos and order, these two obviously contradictory concepts, coexist here. The environment is truly incredible," Mia added, rubbing her temples.

"Just get used to it. Since it exists, there must be a reason for it. We're not here to save this place. Let's focus on what we've discovered," Ethan said, sitting down opposite the two women. He crossed his legs casually and lit a cigarette, smoking slowly.

"Your mindset is stable as always," Lisa smiled, then said seriously, "Let's discuss. Although I didn't search thoroughly and only made a simple observation, there are indeed many criminals living here. From those I recognized, there are already more than a dozen, and one of them is even a B-class criminal."

"I also noticed quite a few, but I'm not sure if they overlap with Lisa's observations," Mia chimed in.

The three of them had toured the city earlier to conduct a preliminary exploration of the criminal situation.

The results were naturally impressive.

Both Lisa and Mia identified numerous criminals during their walk.

However, they could only recognize individuals they knew, and there was no telling how many they didn't recognize. These were just people they encountered during their tour, not representative of the entire inner city.

Ethan bent down, flicked the ash from his cigarette into the ashtray on the coffee table, and said thoughtfully, "Based on our current findings, coming to Meteor Street to hunt criminals seems like the right choice.

However, we need to be cautious when hunting here. The inner city has its own set of laws on Meteor Street, and hunting is definitely not allowed openly. Therefore, the best hunting range is still in the outer garbage mountain area."

"Do you need me to conduct reconnaissance outside the city gate?" Mia asked.

Ethan thought for a moment and said, "Let's investigate the situation here in detail first. If it's really necessary, I'll ask for your help."

"It's okay. I've mastered the Yin Seal now, and I have enough energy for long-term investigations. Just leave it to me!" Mia said with a smile.

Upon hearing about the Yin Seal, Lisa glanced enviously at the diamond-shaped mark between Mia's eyebrows.

"I need to learn the Yin Seal as soon as possible. Even with the help of weapon fruits, my current Nen energy isn't enough to fully utilize my strength," Lisa admitted.

"You can postpone the development of the weapon fruit and focus on learning the Yin Seal first," Ethan suggested.
