Becoming the Supreme Will starting from Hunter x Hunter

"Hey, hey, hey..."

Illumi shouted a few times into the phone.

"Oboro, I'm Illumi. Remember? Back when you were broke, I upgraded your spaceship cabin, and you were the one who introduced me to Hisoka..."

"..."

“I remember… you didn’t need to describe it in such detail.”

"Hiso told me you became one of the Ten Elders... I knew I hadn't misjudged you. So, do you have any trouble to deal with right now? You must have quite a few enemies... I'm sure with your current wealth, you're not short of money..."

His face was expressionless.

This guy can't stop talking about work.

"Hello, hello, hello... are you listening?"

Illumi called out.

"Can you help me kill him?"

"You mean Hisoka? Sure...no problem, he's right here with me, very convenient. As for the price...let me think about it." Illumi considered it seriously.

After a moment, he actually asked Hisoka himself, "Hisoka, what do you think you're worth?"

"..." Hisoka.

Snapped.

Hisoka sensed something was wrong and immediately hung up the call.

To prevent the two from reaching this deal.

88. Human Evil

Time passed slowly, and Oboro began her recuperation period.

But he didn't just sit idly by... Instead, he had the Fils family find various experts who were proficient in classical Chinese to teach them on-site.

Since he has become a hunter of ancient texts, Oboro must have a certain level of professional knowledge.

This is also preparation for the future 'Dark Continent'.

At the same time, he was also trying out small, incremental exercises...

This recovery speed is already amazing, mainly because his physical foundation is quite solid... Physical attributes have always been something that Oboro is quite confident about.

Host: Oboro.

Age: 21 years old.

Major: Classical Chinese Literature Hunter.

Combat Rank: Martial Arts Master, Nen Master. (Upgradeable to: National Hunter)

Overall attribute evaluation: Human evolutionary.

In the hospital room, Long sat on the bed, looking at the system screen that had been activated.

His previous combat rank was 'battle-hardened martial artist' and 'senior Nen master'.

Everything has changed now.

He wasn't demoted, but his panel is grayed out... This is probably related to his current state. To light it up again, he needs to recover and reach his previous strength level.

However… judging from the system interface alone, it seems that this near-death experience has brought about a real transformation in him.

Both his martial arts and Nen abilities have been upgraded.

Joining the association also added the label of "Ancient Literature Hunter".

Nearby, David was reporting to him and Lily on the progress of some of the family's missions. "The seeds we cultivated beforehand have begun to bear fruit after more than half a year. We have placed hundreds of staff members in important institutions in several countries on several continents, such as social welfare, educational institutions, and local governments. Some of them have already embarked on their careers and obtained official positions... There are a total of eight countries involved, mainly the major powers of V5, including the Kakin Empire, which the family head specifically instructed us to visit."

"However, for highly confidential departments like the Permitting Authority and the Flight Attendant Authority, the process is still relatively slow. To be on the safe side... so far, we've only bribed fewer than twenty people, and they're all ordinary staff..."

"On the family side, there are currently forty-seven Nen users, most of whom are from Meteor City... Here is the list!"

"The elite Nen users recruited for the family head, who are the team's required members, number three in total..."

"And the new recruits mentioned by the patriarch are currently undergoing training in Awakening Mind..."

As David spoke, he handed two lists to Oboro.

"well done."

Long turned off the system and gave a compliment.

Haste makes waste for V5; if they want to penetrate, they must proceed step by step... David's ability to achieve this level is already quite outstanding.

"Ok?"

However, when Oboro saw the list of the Phils family's guards, he frowned.

Because there were three photos above that he recognized very well!

Brigade!

Kuroro, Feitan, and Franklin.

"Any questions?"

David looked at Long's expression.

"When did these three people join?" Long smiled.

"Two months ago... they were originally thugs trained by a mid-sized family within our territory, the Augustus family, whose main business is loan sharking... These three are quite capable, and they weren't recommended by the Augustus family."

"Our people discovered it by chance... Because they have a gang background, they're trustworthy. Oh, and by the way, they're from Meteor City too." David had clearly met Kuroro and his two companions before; they had left a deep impression on him.

During this period, he has been shuttling between the hospital and his family.

The fact that a middle-class family had a history of organized crime was discovered by chance... all the factors were objective and would not arouse any suspicion.

But David, of course, had no idea what had happened to Oboro during the Hunter Exam.

This is a 'false impression' intentionally created by the tour group.

The current Fils family, as one of the Ten Elders' forces, has extremely strict selection criteria and requirements for the quality of its bodyguards, including strength, loyalty, and many other aspects... unlike at the beginning.

To join the Fils family now, one must first complete a certain number of missions with the 'Armed Forces' and, based on their performance and the evaluation of the guard captain Mondel, advance to the 'core level' and arrive at the headquarters.

There is a hierarchical promotion system.

"These three have already been assigned to the family's residence?"

Long raised an eyebrow.

"Hmm... Mondel has a very high opinion of them."

David nodded.

Kuroro... is he trying to avenge Phinks?

Do they already know that they were the ones who committed the murder?

"Has an investigation been conducted...?"

Oboro murmured something and called Bisky.

"Aldama... he was discharged from the hospital several months ago, but... he's dead now, murdered... the association believes there are multiple perpetrators, and it's likely related to the guy you killed... they disappeared afterward, and because it involves the Hunter Exam, the association couldn't directly intervene, only issuing a warrant for their arrest in private. They were clearly intentionally avoiding the association, unwilling to clash with them; these people are very experienced... quite strong."

After answering the call, Bisky first called the association to find out the situation before relaying it to Oboro.

Bisky, as if struck by a thought, added, "You don't need to worry. Aldama is a tough guy... Besides, the association has already warned him. You saved his life, so he won't expose you."

It's no use, we have Pyknotan.

"So, he was actually on guard and alert, right? But... he was still killed..."

"Oboro said."

“That’s right… Besides him, three other association members died, one of whom was also a one-star hunter… The four of them were always together.”

Biskey answered.

The Hunter Association is just an organization... with chaotic internal factions and constant hidden power struggles. To some extent, even the chairman is beyond his control.

Of course not. All members are united as one. Moreover, the association has always rarely interfered in private matters... There are no rules against interference.

After all, although it is officially a non-governmental organization, its operation and management model is the same as that of the official one.

The death of two one-star hunters makes this bounty mission extremely difficult. It would require at least a team of two two-star hunters to work together to capture them. However, everyone will weigh the pros and cons, and although the association has issued the mission, there are probably not many people who will accept it. The association also cannot force anyone to do so.

Given the brigade's strength and intelligence, it would be difficult to bring them down under ordinary pressure from a wanted manhunt.

The net...

After hanging up the phone, Long fell into deep thought.

Without Aldama revealing the truth, or even admitting that he killed Phinks... Kuroro is now targeting himself?

That woman's abilities are really convenient!

You should know that the troupe was causing trouble in the underworld, and the trouble was getting bigger and bigger... What's really scary is that after so long, the underground forces still know nothing about them.

It was precisely because of this that Kuroro was confident enough to infiltrate the Phils family.

"Indeed excellent... After so much time has passed, almost all the information and background about me had been wiped clean, yet you can still find it..." Long praised.

Information sources, both online and underground, are blocked.

However, within his jurisdiction, some leaders of the old groups who hadn't been eliminated still knew about him.

Even if they are ordered to be silenced, they will surely be forced to open their mouths after being tortured by Feitan.

From the perspective of the practicality of the ability alone, Oboro is very interested in Paknotan.

There are no secrets in front of her.

However, the woman is too loyal to Kuroro personally; there's no possibility of her betraying him, otherwise...

"Is there something wrong with them?"

David asked cautiously.

Most likely... the Phantom Troupe has already figured out his current situation.
