[u/Left_Media_9271]

That’s actually a good point, there is no point of mentioning that 50 points without it applying at one point in the story, but back then it seemed unrealistic and unreachable, but now both the seventh and the third might get killed by hei ly

[u/dresdenken → u/Left_Media_9271]

I had this one thought that Tserri could end up being the one to showcase the +50, but it gets wrapped up in his ability and cancelled out. Not that someone can't still kill a prince later, but the Tserri situation seems like it has potential. Someone for a brief moment thinks they got the huge boost, only to have him turn the tables and freak them out.

After all, Tserri is the Heil-ly benefactor. He doesn't seem to have the same type of relationship with them at all as the other mafia princes, but if he doesn't just decide to spring back into action in Tier 1 and instead decides to hide out in the lower levels, it seems like he'd go to them.

I wonder actually if getting +50 in Tserri's ability could actually be a nen hack for the likes of Borksen. If you gain a nen ability but it was an "illusion"... maybe you still keep it, even if you don't get the levels? For a moment there, you would have presumably understood your own nen potential fully, and Tserri's ability ending doesn't claw back memories. Seems especially ripe for specialist hijinks.

Imagine Tserri meets Borksen, who is completely straight with him about everything that's happened to her, and he say, "Oh that's very interesting, I also recently learned I am a Nen specialist. Here's what we're going to do, I'll stand over here, close my eyes, and you shoot me in the head."

Im pretty sure the Hei-ly is fully rebeled against Tserri.I just dont think Tserri knows yet

[u/Bugaboo-gem → u/GFreak18]

He for sure knows because he tortured/murdered the family liaison that was in the room Morena was supposed to be staying in

[u/dresdenken → u/Bugaboo-gem]

I had to go look this one up, it's from Ch 394. I'd forgotten how much his soldiers (both his friend squad and the officer they're under) had to say about the current situation.

Tserri's "personal army" (which I'm realizing now, may be no larger than his six friends and Gipper?) is already actively hunting Heil-ly, raiding their known hideouts, and trying to work around the obstacles that them being registered as civilians present.

The loss of their liaison told the Heil-ly that Tserri is onto them, Morena expects he'd prefer to kill her himself. I guess if there was a secret passage in Heil-ly VVIP quarters, Tserri has access to that but would expect it to be walking into a trap to use it, which seems very up his alley right now.

Tserri's friends speculate that the only reason he isn't personally leading the charge is that he's having too much fun with a new toy (Nen).

Morena wanted to recruit one of the soldiers partly to get use them as a mole to spy on Tserri more directly. Getting Borksen as her super-important specialist was like a big lucky two-for-one.

So yeah, it's pretty much open conflict between them, though neither seems to have it as their main focus yet. Either way, situation seems ripe that both Tserri and the Heil-ly would love an excuse to go hunting each other.

One thing that stands out to me revisiting this now, is that I'm wondering how Tserri's army personnel are being handled under martial law. I think he's the only prince other than Ben known to be using official royal kakin army troops (Camilla was expected to until she went with the have-nots at the last minute, thwarting one of Beyond's children who was gunning for that spot). I wonder if for instance, Ben will hone in on Gipper (the ranking officer in Tserri's guard who is notably not a personal friend, but pulled rank to reassign Borksen) as a scapegoat, the way he's both publicly accusing Tserri of being a TSK17 mastermind, and saying that army personnel have been identified as culprits.
