In the initial stages, we can only focus on the ordinary staff who are doing basic work in V5...
Oboro chose to trust his and Phils Lily's abilities. At least with the Phils family's resources, they already had the basic conditions to communicate with them... As for time, Oboro could wait.
Once you reach a certain level of status and position, money is no longer everything... but by leveraging the resources and manpower of the underworld, you can help some low-level characters handle many things, such as matters involving personal matters, which is still quite advantageous.
As long as you're human, you'll have selfish desires and selfish thoughts...
Once a certain network of connections has been established, one can then choose to support a nobody to gradually rise to the top...
David also mentioned Hisoka...
The latter stayed for only a week before leaving the palace.
After giving his instructions, Long hung up the call... This was one of the advantages of controlling a force; he didn't have to worry about many things, and he could focus all his energy on his cultivation. Looking at it this way... it wasn't in vain that he worked in the underworld.
After nearly a year, I realize that my initial decision was still very wise.
"It's about time; I should go take the Hunter Exam. I should join the guild first..."
After finishing his coffee, Long smiled slightly, got up, and left.
These past two months have been relatively leisurely. Aside from the Hisoka incident, his overall mindset has been much more relaxed and cheerful, completely different from when he was in the mafia. In addition, he has almost mastered the breathing technique... Although he hasn't reached mastery yet, he is quite proficient, which I'd call minor mastery... His energy and physical strength have improved to a certain extent. Overall, this should be the most leisurely period he has had since arriving in the Hunter world.
Once I become a hunter, I'll definitely be busy again.
So tired...
Becoming stronger and growing stronger is indeed not so simple.
……
The 281st Hunter Exam was held on the continent of Yuvian. All registered candidates had to pass several preliminary rounds before arriving at the final venue. However, Oboro already knew the location of the final venue…
Bangi, a small town located near the Gordo Desert, is not far from Yuksim.
How did Oboro know this? ... Because he called Wing and asked the latter to inquire with Bisky. The two did not speak directly; it was Bisky who asked Wing to tell Oboro that although Oboro could easily become a Hunter with his skill level, rules are rules and cannot be broken... Anyway, he went on and on, and in the end, he still gave Oboro an address.
When Oboro left the Heaven's Arena, Bisky thought he would go to take the Hunter Exam. She even talked to Chairman Netero about it. Who would have thought... that kid had disappeared and there was no news of him... Later, the chairman told her that Oboro seemed to have joined a gang and had become the leader of the underground forces, one of the Ten Elders.
These aren't secrets... On the Hunter x Hunter website, with enough money, you can find all the information, but you can only find information about past events related to the Fels family. After Oboro became one of the Ten Elders, it became much more difficult to get related information... Firstly, the mafia is intentionally erasing information related to the Ten Elders as a form of protection. Secondly, the money required to obtain information about someone at the level of the Ten Elders would be astronomical.
Of course, this only applies to ordinary people. For people like Netero and the Zoldycks, the mafia is not a V5 organization, so there are no secrets.
The Fils family rose to power too quickly, and Oboro rarely shows his face to outsiders... The current head of the family is David.
Therefore, there are some gaps in his background... In addition, the Fils family intends to erase 'traces of his existence', and it is believed that with David joining the Ten Elders, he will be invisible in a few years.
Some people will still know him, but the number will be reduced to a minimum.
Judging from Bisky's tone as relayed by Yun Gu, she seemed very dissatisfied with Oboro having one foot in the underworld, believing that he was wasting his time... She undoubtedly hoped that Oboro would join the Hunter Association as soon as possible.
Otherwise, the old woman would feel somewhat uneasy.
This is what Yun Gu told Long.
However, what Oboro cared about more was... Netero.
It seems like the old man has been watching me the whole time?
It was clear that Yun Gu, acting as the middleman, was embarrassed… He gestured for Oboro to personally give the message to Bisky.
Call and let's talk.
Unexpectedly, Long said thank you to him and then turned off his phone.
"..."
Yun Gu.
Then, Oboro directly boarded the spaceship and headed to Bangi City.
The Hunter Exam has begun, and once it starts... the venue will remain open to the public and cannot be closed.
"I must have been the first one to arrive..."
Under the blazing sun, Long stepped out of the spaceship station, glanced at the blazing sun overhead, loosened his collar, and grinned.
His actions constitute blatant cheating.
Although Bisky emphasized that the rules must not be broken, Oboro didn't care about those things...
Letting him play games with a bunch of 'elementary school kids'... is pointless.
Bangi is a very small city, only the size of two or three towns. Even the airport terminal is inconspicuous. Because it is located near the Gordo Desert, the climate here is hot. There are usually few tourists visiting. At noon, there were hardly any people on the streets.
After walking for only a few minutes, Oboro started sweating...
But in less than half an hour, he found his destination... an amusement park that was open for business.
The owner was a bald, middle-aged man who lay listlessly by the ticket window, fanning himself.
Well... business is terrible, there's not a single person at the entrance.
Oboro tapped on the glass…
"The ticket prices and attractions are listed above. Take a look yourself," the middle-aged man said lazily, struggling to lift his eyelids.
"Do we need to use a code? I'm here to take the Hunter Exam..."
"Oboro said."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression changed, and he sat up straight, staring intently at him.
The Hunter Exam... the Association has only just begun preparations, the preliminary rounds have just started... this guy...
“That’s right, I passed the preliminary selection… Although there’s no tour guide to lead the way during the exam, I think it’ll be fine…” Oboro hooked his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose with his finger, revealing his eyes and winking at the former, “Otherwise, how would I know the place?”
"..."
At that moment, Bisky, who was somewhere nearby, suddenly sneezed.
After a few seconds of eye contact with the middle-aged man, Long said dryly, "Let's go in, indoor hall number 3!"
"Thank you."
Long raised his hand.
Just then, the middle-aged man suddenly threw something at him. Long reached out and caught it, and upon closer inspection, he saw that it was a number plate.
001 number.
"Good luck."
The middle-aged man watched Oboro's figure disappear into the amusement park, then reached up and touched his chin. His intuition told him... this examinee was up to something! But there was nothing he could do... the Hunter Exam didn't have a clear rule that a guide was required, and basically, those who could find this place were those who had passed the final preliminary rounds.
This was the first time he had ever seen anything like it so fast!
Even if we don't do any missions, we still need to travel from the preliminary rounds onwards...
Meanwhile, Oboro entered Hall 3.
It was empty inside, the lights were on, but there was nothing there... but the temperature was cool.
He just came to take a look. There's a deadline before the actual assessment, so he can come back then. There's no need to keep waiting.
After thinking it over, he turned to leave.
"Cough cough cough..."
Suddenly, a voice echoed inside the building.
someone!
Long's pupils contracted, but he didn't notice at all.
60. The Old Man and the Little Man (Please continue reading)
A loud, slightly mischievous voice came from the corridor on the second floor of the building, "Hehehe...did I scare you?"
"..."
Upon hearing this noise, Long's tense body suddenly relaxed.
He knew that his strength was far from being top-tier, but he wasn't so weak that anyone he randomly picked off the street could easily outmaneuver him... At least, ordinary hunters in the guild couldn't deceive his senses unless they possessed special related abilities.
Otherwise... even Bisky would have a hard time doing that.
But if it's him, then it's fine...
Long turned around and looked at the shadow that had jumped from the second floor and landed on the ground.
Isaac Netero, president of the Hunter Association.
His signature long gown, his signature tied-up hair, his large earlobes and long eyebrows, and his wooden clogs...
The old man was delighted with the 'surprise' he had created. He stared at Long's expression, blinking like a child, with a smug look on his face.
"I never expected that someone as insignificant as me would be personally greeted by the president of the Hunter Association... Should I be happy, or should I be more careful?" Oboro said, one hand on his hip and the other covering his forehead.
After saying that, he deliberately gasped. He exclaimed in surprise, "You're not thinking of disqualifying me from the exam, are you? That's unnecessary... There's no explicit rule that I have to participate in the preliminary selection."
Oboro was joking.
He knew Netero wouldn't care about such a trivial matter... Yun Gu had mentioned before that Bisky had contacted the chairman, but he hadn't taken it to heart. So, when the old man actually showed up, he was still quite surprised... which also meant that the other party had guessed he would be the first to arrive at the venue.
"With your abilities, becoming a hunter is a certainty. If it weren't for the fact that it would be unfair to the other candidates and it wouldn't be good for word to get out... even if you were given a hunter's license directly, it wouldn't be a problem." The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'm tight-lipped!"
With a serious expression, Long immediately stretched out her hand, without any hesitation, "Give it to me..."
Netero closed his eyes, feigning indifference. "Young man... don't be in such a hurry. Many things... if you reach the end too quickly, you lose the fun. Life is about enjoying the process." With that, the old man opened one eye. "It's like joining a gang... if you were made a ten-year-old right away, what motivation would you have? You wouldn't experience any personal growth..."
There's more to it than meets the eye, you old devil!
Oboro understood, and a smirk appeared on her face: "So... you came all this way to see me to confirm my intentions? You think that in my heart, the yakuza and the Hunter Association are the same thing..."
“There are many reasons to become a hunter…everyone has different goals, that’s normal.” Unexpectedly, Netero shook his head, saying calmly, “I came to see you…simply because I’ve been relatively free lately…nothing to do, and Bisky has been constantly talking about you…so, I came…”
Looking at the old man picking his ear, Long was a little speechless.
He knew what role he was facing, and he was somewhat wary of Netero... It was an unconscious reaction. He could sense the old man's hidden thoughts in the previous sentence, but the next answer was so sincere... utterly... unfathomable.
.
Troublesome…
