Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

stare--

Dia did not look to the side.

stare--

Dia remained unmoved.

stare--

A bead of cold sweat appeared on Dia's face.

He glanced discreetly at his left hand, where the miniature Mumu Ze doll remained obediently lying, staring intently at him.

'I have a feeling... it has its own consciousness...'

Diya couldn't help but glance at it again. Although it was cute, being stared at by it was really unsettling.

I don't know what its purpose is.

Shila-

The car came to an abrupt stop, interrupting Dia's thoughts.

Caesar, sitting in the driver's seat, took out his phone, glanced at it, and then showed the screen to Dia—

The man above has triangular eyes and a bulbous nose. He is holding a sign. He looks to be around 35 years old, with a stubble beard and glazed eyes. He appears to be drunk.

"This is Muhayelich, whom my colleague found out. He's an alcoholic, a gambler, a ladybug, and has been imprisoned three times. This photo is from one of his prison days."

Caesar briefly explained the essential parts of the message his colleague sent him, automatically ignoring the rest.

Diya glanced at the man, memorized his appearance, then pushed open the door and got out of the car.

Casinos that offer compound interest.

The crowd was huge, and the air was thick with smoke.

The casino was sparsely decorated, with yellowed and peeling wallpaper, and the doors and windows were boarded up tightly, preventing any sunlight from entering.

The casino relies on eight ventilation machines and dark ventilation ducts in the ceiling to maintain air circulation, but it still can't stop the smells of various foods and sweat from filling the entire casino.

"Hehe, young master, a bet's a bet!"

At the central gambling table in the casino, a group of people were watching a game, with gasps of surprise and cheers erupting from the crowd.

The two gamblers, one with a pair of fierce triangular eyes, was looking at his opponent with a sly grin, constantly pulling the chips on the table into his arms.

His opponent was a man in a striped suit with long, curly hair. The man clicked his tongue in displeasure, casually tossed his chips to the man with the triangular eyes, and said:

"You lost everything, consider yourself lucky!"

He then said "I'm not playing anymore," and stormed off.

Seeing this, the man with the triangular eyes casually put the chips into his clothes, chuckled slyly, and said:

"No, young master Henry, let's watch a little longer..."

ding dong~

Suddenly, a very faint notification sound appeared in the triangular-eyed man's ears, and he took out his phone to scan it.

This glance made his expression change drastically. He hurriedly stood up, ignoring all the chips he had just won, and rushed towards a certain part of the casino.

In the blink of an eye, the two who had been betting against each other left their seats almost simultaneously, refusing to continue, and the crowd immediately erupted in a series of disappointed murmurs.

Not far away, Heinrich, who had just been about to leave, saw Muhyelich's strange behavior, frowned, wondering what had disrupted his plans.

"Hey, young master Henry, that guy seems to have gotten away. Shouldn't we chase after him now?"

A man who had somehow appeared behind Henrich suddenly spoke. He had a calm gaze, deep-set cheeks, a neat middle parting, and a small mustache.

Henrich wasn't surprised by the man's appearance and said without turning his head:

"Don't worry, Tahao, we were planning to send him back anyway..."

boom!

A loud bang interrupted Henrich's words. He and the previously composed Tahao instantly tensed, their eyes narrowing as they simultaneously turned to the source of the sound—

The casino's tightly closed doors were suddenly kicked open with tremendous force. The terrifying power sent the steel door flying straight up to the ceiling in a massive crash, and the door was embedded in the ceiling.

Amidst the smoke and dust, a leg encased in suit trousers slowly retracted, revealing a young face.

He glanced around the casino, and in the silence, asked in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft:

"Is Muhayelich here?"

"Sir! Please sit down, let's talk this out..."

A man in a manager's uniform suddenly appeared from the side, smiling obsequiously at the uninvited Diya.

"Stop talking nonsense and answer the question."

Caesar stepped out from behind Dia, interrupting the manager's nonsense, and pressed a pistol against his forehead.

"Gulp... He was just here, but now he's gone!"

The manager swallowed hard, not daring to say another word, and quickly replied.

Then, as if he caught something out of the corner of his eye, his face lit up with ecstasy. Before Diya and the other could ask any further questions, he hurriedly added:

"He was just gambling with someone, and they seemed to know each other. That person is right there!"

The manager decisively pointed to Henry, who was hiding in the crowd. These two guys looked like ruthless people. His survival instinct made the manager choose to shift the blame without thinking.

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Henrich glanced indifferently at the manager who had decisively sold him out, and walked out of the crowd.

Behind him, Tahao silently followed. They were temporarily joining forces on behalf of the Gasha Ya family and the Xiuwu Wu family, and they could not stand by and watch Henrich take the risk alone.

"Henrych Bigondafono, the young master of the Xiuwu Wu family."

Henrich walked confidently up to Dia, spread his hands to indicate that he was not carrying any weapons, and proactively introduced himself.

Upon hearing his words, the onlookers exclaimed in surprise—who is Henrich?

As is well known, the three major gangs in Kakin are the Xiuwu Wu family, the Jiaxia Ya family, and the Aiyi Yi family.

Due to the complex relationship between the three major gangs and the royal family, the top leaders of these gangs have always been very well hidden, and ordinary people have no idea about the differences between these gangs.

Henrich's prompt identification wasn't due to his warm and honest nature, but rather because he recognized the bespectacled man among the two before him.

Kaiser Collin Yankee, hailed as the Justice Bureau's "supernova".

Although the two had never officially met, he remembered Caesar's information very clearly, as he frequently targeted gangsters to gain business.

Behind Henrich, Tahao also got a good look at the bespectacled man and instantly understood why Henrich had introduced himself so readily.

'Something's up...'

Taha, without changing his expression, calmly stood next to Henrich, raised his hands in a pretentious manner, and said:

“Tahao, assistant to the head of the Gasha family and military advisor to the private army of the seventh prince of Kakin.”

Caesar holstered his pistol; it was useless against the two men in front of him.

Now that the other party has shown sincerity, there's no need to press further. Caesar calmly adjusted his glasses and said:

"The Justice Bureau, Caesar."

Diya absentmindedly rubbed her feet together, creating ripples on the floor, and casually said:

"Hunter's Guild, Crime Hunters, Yorkshire."

Chapter 142 A relentless pursuit × Information exchange

As soon as Dia finished speaking, the two gangsters couldn't help but glance at him, their hearts filled with doubt.

Hunter Association?

When did the Justice Bureau start associating with those arrogant guys?

Caesar glanced at Dia without making it obvious.

Is it a coincidence?

It's normal for Dia to make up a fake name, but it just so happens to be Yorkshire...

A lean but composed face flashed through Caesar's mind, but he quickly dismissed it; now was not the time to think about such things.

Where is Muhayelich?

Caesar went straight to the point. Although there were still 21 hours and 13 minutes left before the time was up, they couldn't actually press the time limit. The two princes in the hospital were also waiting for the antidote.

"I'll explain the details on the way. He has a tracker that I left on him."

Henrich sensed that what he had left on Muhyelich was rapidly moving away from him, and knew that the other man had already boarded some kind of vehicle. If he didn't chase after him now, he might not be able to catch up later.

Upon hearing this, Dia stopped what she was doing.

His wavy radar was searching for targets in the surrounding area. Although the wavy radar itself could not see faces, it only needed to find the one whose movements were out of place among the surrounding crowd.

In fact, his radar had already detected a figure hurriedly leaving. The figure had already gotten into a car and sped away, seemingly having anticipated their arrival.

Dia originally intended to skip dealing with the two people in front of her and take Caesar directly to track down that person.

But after hearing what Henrich said, he suddenly changed his mind.

There are two reasons.

First, Henrich was straightforward and open, stating that he knew Muhyelich's whereabouts and even inviting them to go together, which saved the risk of Dia's abilities being exposed.

Secondly, if Dia remembers correctly, Henrich has a woman named Lynch under his command who is even more adept at extracting intelligence than Caesar.

If we could borrow Lynch's abilities from Henrich, we could save ourselves the trouble of interrogation.

So, before Caesar could finish thinking, Dia spoke first:

"Alright, lead the way."

Caesar looked at Dia with suspicion. It seemed that many steps were skipped in their conversation. Did they have some information that he didn't know about?

Ultimately, the Seventh Queen had asked him to assist Dia in the investigation, and since Dia had already decided to trust the gang, he should comply.
