Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Seeing this, Henrich didn't say anything unnecessary and decisively turned around and headed towards the back door of the casino.

The others followed silently. Before leaving, Tahao glanced at the casino manager, who froze instantly, too scared to move.

Passing through the back door, a narrow alley came into view, where a beggar was huddled and trembling. The cardboard beneath him was stained yellow with excrement, and he reeked of a suffocating stench.

This is a self-protection tactic unique to homeless people in bustling areas. Only if you are more disgusting than shit will no one be willing to risk getting their fists dirty to vent their anger on you.

Henrich ignored the beggar, randomly picked up a car by the roadside, and skillfully pried open the door and started fiddling with it.

A moment later, he poked his head out and said:

"boarding."

Caesar and his entourage filed in.

Behind them, the beggar huddled up, trembling, trying to minimize his presence.

Dia walked at the back, glanced at the beggar, thought for a moment, casually tossed him some ginseng, and said:

"Please keep what you just saw a secret."

After saying that, he ignored the beggar's reaction and walked straight into the car.

After getting in the car, Diya went straight to the point and asked bluntly:

"You're not here to hunt down that Muhyiddin, are you?"

"To be precise, we are interested in the people behind him."

Tahao stroked his beard and replied.

Upon hearing Diya's question, he knew that the hunter in front of him was a smart person who could understand human speech, so he didn't waste any words and went straight to the most efficient conversation.

Strangely enough, the man was a hunter, a young mob boss, a military advisor with royal backing, and a judicial official.

They were sitting in a stolen car in perfect harmony, having a conversation as if nothing had happened.

All of this was thanks to Henrich's initial decisive gesture of goodwill, which laid the foundation for peaceful talks.

Then, Dia, taking advantage of her superior information position, expressed her trust in Henrich's invitation, ultimately achieving this delicate balance.

Of course, the most important thing is that the four people in the car at this moment, each of them has absolute confidence in their own abilities.

No one was worried about being killed like a random person on the street.

Peace is a luxury for the strong; the weak have no choice.

"This afternoon, someone plotted an assassination against a member of the royal family. We followed the clues and found Muhyiddin."

Caesar casually stated the purpose of their trip, deliberately emphasizing the word "royal family."

He knew that Kakin's gang was actually the royal family's black glove. Although they fought their own battles, when it came to assassinations by outsiders, even the most arrogant prince would not hinder their investigation at this time.

Sure enough, after hearing Caesar's words, Taha stopped stroking his beard, narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked:

"It's poison, isn't it?"

Do you have any other intelligence?

Diya couldn't help but ask, how did this seemingly leisurely uncle determine that the assassination method was poison?

"It's some kind of unknown type of deadly poison. Both the Gasha family and the Xiuwu family have been victims, including some who possess Nen abilities. This Muhayelich was originally a junior member of our family, and he is the seventh... victim."

When he said the word "victim," Taha paused, a dark glint in his eyes.

Henrich, driving on without turning his head, added:

"I don't know if this kid is really dead or faked it, but after losing all vital signs, he suddenly came back to life, and then disappeared without a trace a few days later."

“He was like a completely different person for the first few days after he woke up. He was either hanging out in casinos or doing some inexplicable things all day long. We followed him for two days before we finally decided to make our move today.”

"Is it possible that they were controlled by the [pilot system]?"

Dia suddenly asked, recalling the chefs who poisoned the food. Their behavior was very abnormal, and he had suspected they were being manipulated.

"It's basically impossible, because my Nen users have tried it, and they can still be affected by Manipulation-type abilities."

Tahao said that their first thought was that the enemy might be using their ability to manipulate corpses to control Muhayelich, who was actually dead.

As we all know, Manipulation-type Nen users cannot control people who are already controlled by other users, so Muhayelich could not possibly have been controlled by anyone's ability.

Chapter 143 Mysterious Man × Four Shadows

There are so many suspicious points...

Dia stroked her chin, mentally organizing the clues before falling silent, and the car quickly became quiet.

There is always someone behind the scenes when something is unusual, and there is always someone who hides their true intentions when they do so.

Based on the current information, the chain of clues is: cook → doorman → Muhayelich → mastermind. However, whether there is a deeper planner behind the mastermind, Dia cannot be sure.

Of course, his goal was not to investigate everything in one go, but to find the antidote and save Mu Muze within the final time limit.

As for the rest, although Serwangqi entrusted him to find out, this is, after all, the capital of Kakin. Dia didn't think that with so much information, the Kakin government would be able to find out the truth.

If it's truly impossible to find out, then there's no point in having him investigate.

The wheels rolled and kicked up dust as they sped forward.

Chang'an Food Manufacturing Plant.

A car sped towards us, then screeched to a halt in front of the factory.

Snapped!

Muhayelich hurriedly opened the car door and was about to get out.

In his panic, he didn't pay attention to his footing and accidentally stepped on a stone, causing him to fall to the ground as soon as he got out of the car.

Muhayelich fell face down, his face was covered in blood, and his nose bled.

But he simply stood up, seemingly oblivious to the pain, muttering to himself:

"Boss... Boss!"

Suddenly, his voice rose, and he rushed toward the factory like a madman.

Inside the factory, the assembly line, which should have been bustling with activity, was deserted. Despite being a food manufacturing plant, there was no sign of food being produced.

Instead, in the center of the factory, there was a small black pot filled with a strange green liquid, and a short figure was stirring it constantly with a long spoon.

Strangely, even though there was no heat source under the pot, the green liquid inside began to boil and a small bubble rose as he stirred it.

The tiny bubble swelled and swelled, eventually reaching its limit—

puff!

The bubble burst open, and out jumped a green, ugly frog covered in bumps!

As soon as it jumped to the edge of the small pot, it opened its mouth wide towards the door and made a sound:

"Cuck!"

"Boss!"

An unpleasant sound suddenly came from outside the door. The strained tone made the short, mysterious man stop what he was doing and sigh softly.

'That idiot is here again.'

The mysterious man muttered to himself:

"I originally used Ascension to bewitch him because I saw that he could withstand the toxicity of the [Great Medicine], but who knew that this idiot would be so stupid..."

He couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he hadn't been fooled by that idiot's act of stubbornly resisting the [Great Medicine] with the will of an ordinary person, and had directly used [Ascension] to control those high-ranking officials, perhaps the operation at noon today wouldn't have been so troublesome.

With a loud crash, the factory gate was shoved open by Muhayelich, his face covered in snot and tears. He ran towards the mysterious figure, wailing desperately as he went:

"Boss—please give me a bite! Just one bite!"

A hint of disgust flashed in the mysterious man's eyes. He casually picked up the frog that had just landed on the edge of the small pot and threw it away with lightning speed!

"Ah~"

The frog croaked in mid-air and crashed straight into Muhayelich's wide-open mouth, causing him to stop in his tracks.

"Um-"

Muhayelich paid no attention to the disgusting frog in his mouth. Instead, his face lit up with ecstasy as he took the frog into his mouth without hesitation and frantically sucked on the slime on its surface.

As his cheeks puffed out, his bulging mouth visibly shrank.

At the same time, accompanied by a shrill "quack" sound and the faint cracking of bones, Muhayelich tilted his head back and swallowed hard, opening his mouth to emit a sound of extreme ecstasy:

"Ha! Too! Too! Uh-huh, ahhhhh—"

"Enough! Stop yelling!"

The mysterious man could no longer tolerate his strange cries and roared at him to stop, then asked:

"What are you doing here? What happened?"

Upon hearing the mysterious voice, Muhayelich snapped out of his daze, his rapturous expression instantly replaced by terror, and he hurriedly said:

"Boss! The Justice Bureau is looking for me! They must have found us!"

The mysterious man's eyes widened immediately, and he angrily cursed:

"Then why did you come looking for me? Are you trying to kill me?!"

Muhayelich's voice trailed off, and he said timidly:

"No, no, boss, I've been careful not to be followed..."

The mysterious man narrowed his eyes, suddenly walked to his side, and with lightning speed reached out, pulled a small slug from under his armpit!

Immediately afterwards, the mysterious man decisively crushed the slug with force.

After the slug died, it visibly turned into a broken chip right before their eyes!

"This is……"

Muhayelich stared blankly at the chip, recalling that a few dozen minutes earlier, it seemed that Henrich had personally tossed it to him, and he had foolishly put it in his pocket.

The mysterious man sighed and said:
