Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Dia ignored the provocations of the stray dogs by the roadside and calmly looked at the two people sitting in the main seats:

'The Seventh Queen and the Thirteenth Prince? There are no Nen users in the room, but there are outside the palace…'

This is also the most puzzling aspect of the Kakin Empire for him. Along the way, he has encountered quite a few Nen users, but he cannot find a single one in the Queen's Palace, one of the centers of power in the empire.

"Sit down, Mumu Ze, and... young man over there, you can sit next to Mumu Ze."

The Seventh Queen did not mind Dia's slightly impolite stare, but calmly asked them to sit down and prepare to begin their meal.

She would ask about things she wanted to know after the meal was over.

Chapter 137 Assassination! × Strange Poison

Knowing his mother's style, Mu Muze started eating after taking his seat, leaving the important matters for later.

In other words, do the right thing at the right time, and don't mix them up.

After thanking her, she decisively pulled Dia to a seat and picked up a fork to begin eating.

Although she had already eaten cookies in the study, she didn't know why, but she was always hungry these past few days, as if the food she ate was digested very quickly.

As soon as Diya sat down, she felt several piercing gazes from behind.

He glanced back slightly and saw several men dressed in black, who looked like bodyguards, staring intently at him.

Although he knew they were doing business, Dia felt a little uncomfortable being watched while eating, so he thought about it.

The next moment, a voice rang out in the quiet room—

Do you want some too?

Dia asked the group with feigned curiosity, her voice ringing out clearly in the quiet room and immediately attracting everyone's attention.

Prince Marayan glanced at it blankly, feeling he couldn't understand, and then lowered his head again.

Mumu Ze, on the other hand, ate the food on his plate slowly and methodically without ever looking up.

A hint of displeasure flashed in the Seventh Princess's eyes. She had some reservations about Diya's behavior, but she didn't say anything. She calmly glanced at the soldiers under her command, which made them freeze and dare not make any small movements.

Seeing this, Dia nodded in satisfaction, picked up the wine glass beside her, brought it to her lips, and thought:

'In the end, we'll see who's truly capable through their actions, so there's no need for pretense or anything...'

Suddenly, Diya frowned, and a slight fluctuation appeared in the dormant ripples within his body!

Enemy attack?

'【round】!'

The enormous circle suddenly expanded, as if an invisible behemoth had opened its eyes, scanning everything around Dia in great detail.

Mumu Ze sensed the enormous "circle" and his heart tightened instantly. He couldn't help but look up at Dia beside him. Seeing that Dia's expression was not right, he decisively put down the knife and fork in his hand.

pat!

A crisp sound rang out again in the room. Seeing this, the Seventh Queen, Seranghi, finally couldn't hold back any longer. Maintaining a calm tone, she asked:

"What's wrong, Mumu Ze? Don't you like the food?"

She wasn't hungry, so she didn't eat a single thing on the table.

The answer she received wasn't Mumu Ze's voice, but rather Diya's action of throwing down her wine glass and her sudden words:

"The food is poisoned!"

Indeed, after carefully sensing it, Diya discovered that the danger that triggered the ripple effect came from the red wine in her hand!

Snapped!

The sound of a wine glass shattering rang out, and Serwangqi's expression changed. He immediately stood up and looked at the bewildered Marayan. He and Mumuze were the only two people in the room who had eaten.

As Servanchi stood up and spoke to Dia, the atmosphere in the room instantly became tense. The well-trained soldiers suddenly tensed up and quickly gathered towards the center!

Diya, who had instigated all of this, did not hesitate to gather ripples, turn around and grab Mumu Ze's arm, golden electricity flashing past under the cover of his palm!

"vomit--"

Before Mumu Ze could react, she saw Diya grab her wrist with a speed that was too fast for her to catch.

As her wrist warmed up, she felt her abdominal muscles and stomach wall begin to contract and vibrate uncontrollably!

wow-

A violent urge to vomit struck instantly, and Mu Muze opened his mouth wide, vomiting up everything he had just eaten without any resistance!

'There's one more...'

Dia leaped up, jumped over Mumuze who was blocking her way, and leaped towards Marayan!

Upon seeing this, the captain of the Seventh Princess's troops instantly narrowed his pupils. Without thinking, he decisively drew his gun and pointed it at Dia in mid-air.

However, the next moment, an unexpected figure swiftly grabbed the muzzle of his gun and lifted it upwards!

boom!

Gunshots rang out, but the bullets struck the ceiling instead.

The squad leader stared blankly at Mu Muze, who was still retching, but whose right hand was gripping the muzzle of his pistol like an iron clamp, staring intently at him. He stammered:

"The tenth, the twelfth prince..."

Is this a power grab?

He didn't have much time to be stunned. Dia pointed a sharp finger at Mara Yang's brow, and a ripple flowed smoothly into his abdomen, causing it to begin to wriggle upwards.

Almost at the same time, Marayan also began to vomit involuntarily!

Seeing this, the other soldiers all pointed their guns at Dia, ready to shoot him into a sieve at any moment.

"stop!"

An urgent voice suddenly rang out, and Serwangqi's figure suddenly appeared, blocking the muzzle of his soldiers' guns!

Although she was filled with doubts, she knew that shooting at Dia now would not do any good, and the stray bullets might even injure Marayan who was standing nearby!

The soldiers looked at each other in bewilderment and then decisively put down their weapons.

Under normal circumstances, even if they had ten times the courage, they wouldn't dare point a gun at a princess, because that would mean the extermination of their entire clan.

The room, which had been tense and on the verge of conflict, fell into an eerie silence just moments before, with only Prince Marayan's retching sounds continuing to echo.

"vomit……"

Diya turned and walked towards Mumu Ze. After pushing aside the soldier, she grabbed Mumu Ze's wrist and kept sending ripples through it.

Although she had stopped vomiting, Dia was not optimistic.

The reason lies in one thing—digestion efficiency!

Prince Marayan is still young and has a poor digestive system. The food he just ate was rather dry and hard. Dia glanced at it briefly and confirmed that he had vomited most of it up.

But Mumu Ze is different. As a Nen user, her digestive system is much stronger than that of an ordinary person.

In other words, given the same amount of time and the same food containing toxins, Mumuze's poisoning level would be much higher than Marayan's!

'Who is it...?'

When Diya saw Mumu Ze's suddenly unfocused gaze, her expression instantly turned grim.

The explosiveness of this toxin far exceeded his expectations.

In retrospect, the poisoned wine hadn't even entered his mouth yet, but it was enough to make Diya, who was in excellent physical condition at the time, feel threatened. One can imagine how potent the poison must have been.

"Someone come quick! Call a doctor!!"

Servanchi's scream rang out almost simultaneously behind him, which did not surprise Dia.

Even Mumu Sawa, a Nen user, behaved this way, so Marayan, as a young child, wouldn't have fared much better even if he had only ingested a very small amount of toxin.

“Dia…”

Mu Muze originally wanted to grit her teeth and let Diya take her back to the palace to change her clothes—they were covered in vomit, and she didn't want Diya to keep seeing her in such a disheveled state.

But before she could even speak, she felt her tongue begin to swell, and in a short moment, she lost the ability to speak.

At the same time, she felt her vision begin to blur. If it weren't for the magical heat flowing from her wrist to keep her conscious, she might have already collapsed to the ground.

Mu Muze braced herself, and suddenly her aura surged, a silk thread appearing abruptly in her hand.

With a flick of her wrist, the silk thread seemed to come alive, nimbly gliding through the air and instantly wrapping around Dia's right wrist.

After doing all this, Mu Muze finally relaxed, his aura weakened, and he softly collapsed onto Diya.

Of course, she didn't die; she just temporarily lost her ability to move.

Chapter 138 Investigation × Bureau of Justice

Beep beep beep beep...

The distinctive siren of an ambulance, indicating its elevation difference, echoed throughout the neighborhood.

Even though it was midday, a large number of police officers and government personnel were hurriedly clearing away all vehicles that might block the road on the main road that was normally busy with traffic.

After a evacuation that lasted for more than twenty minutes, a safe passage was finally cleared just before the royal ambulance arrived.

Given the administrative capabilities of the Kakin Empire, it's fortunate that this is the capital city with the strongest official power. In addition, the drivers, upon hearing that it was a royal order, all followed the police. Otherwise, it's unknown how long the cleanup would have taken.

Inside the ambulance.

Diya lowered her eyes, leaned forward in her seat, and looked at the semi-transparent silk thread on her wrist.

Beside him, two soldiers belonging to the princess were drenched in sweat and trembling as they looked at the two princes lying on the sickbed, silently praying:

'Please don't let anything happen, please don't let anything happen...'

The assassination of the prince and the poisoning of the prince right under their noses are completely different concepts.

It can be said that if Mumuze and Marayan were to die here today, none of their soldiers would escape; every single one of them would be buried with them.

But if only one dies, perhaps one or two exceptionally loyal ones can survive...
