Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

However, the unease that welled up in his heart made it impossible for him to continue tidying up calmly.

----------

National Medical University.

Qiduo, who was walking very fast, had already returned to his office.

As she lay back and spun around in her chair, she began to think about the "collaborator."

'Time is too tight, and the specifics won't be known until the official election begins.'

We must find someone without any obvious weaknesses.

Suddenly, a figure flashed through Qiduo's mind, making her think:

'If that's what she says, then it should be possible...'

Thinking of this, she immediately took out her phone and made a call.

As the busy signal ended, Qi Duo spoke:

"Hey, Grandma..."

Chapter 169 Mrs. Yorkshire's Commission × Unique Ideas

'So, what should we do first?'

Sitting obediently in the underground training ground, Dia carefully observed the area using the ripple radar.

When he noticed Jin's hurried footsteps as he left, he breathed a sigh of relief and began to think about his next plan.

Actually, in the time between when he left the conference room and when he met Qiduo on the first floor...

He tried asking Jin about the attack on the Ruins Department back then.

But the answer I received was a very strange sentence.

Jin smiled and said to him:

"It's not the right time to talk about it yet. Let's wait until February next year. If you still want to know then, come find me."

Then, no matter how much Dia asked, Kim remained vague and unwilling to give a direct answer.

It wasn't until they reached the first floor that their attention was drawn to Qiduo's enormous voice...

'Next February...'

Dia sighed.

It wasn't that he was in a hurry to know the details of that matter, but rather because...

'How long did it take Little Jack to find his dad? How long did it take Kate to find her master? Even Mitchell can't find you normally. Where am I supposed to look for you then, Mr. Missing Person…'

Dia was at his wit's end, especially since finding people was exactly what he was bad at.

In the past, when he encountered similar situations, he would always leave them to Qiduo or Mumu Ze for help.

But when it comes to finding someone, I'm afraid even Qiduo can't help.

Diya shook her head, deciding to put those future matters aside for now.

Let's think about the things at hand first, starting with—

Looking for collaborators? Hmm…

After racking his brains for a long time, Dia realized that there weren't many suitable candidates.

Actually, only Mitchellston and Keido are the most suitable candidates, but they both insist on running for office.

'And do I really need collaborators? After all, I only entered this election to deal with Pariston…'

Diya didn't really have high hopes for the vice president position.

After all, the other three people were more suitable to be the vice president than him.

Besides, isn't being the vice president something that Qiduo has always wanted to do? Unless Qiduo is eliminated before him, Dia definitely won't seriously run for the position.

"So, let's go see Mrs. Yorkshire first. Let's not look for a collaborator yet, even though Keido told me to finish the election first."

After some deliberation, Dia finalized the itinerary.

While everyone else was busy making preparations, Dia felt no urgency whatsoever, and even had time to do other commissions...

That night.

An airship quietly landed at the airport in Pattaya.

"It's you again. You're supposed to be a professional hunter, Lu Ren. Why are you acting like a personal driver?"

Sitting in the familiar extended luxury sedan of the Qi family, Diya couldn't help but complain to Lu Ren in the driver's seat.

“I didn’t want to either, Mr. Dia, but Mrs. Yorkshire said I was the one to take over from you, so she unreasonably assigned me a task right away…”

Lu Ren also had a wry smile on his face when he mentioned this.

But Mrs. Yorkshire was not only the wife of his first teacher of literacy.

He also donated a large sum of money on behalf of the Yorkshire family, the only wealthy family in Pattaya, to the orphanage he had just built.

He couldn't refuse the other party's request, neither emotionally nor logically.

'What a unique character this lady has…' ×2

The two people inside the car uttered the same exclamation.

After a long while.

Shila-

The same familiar brakes, the same familiar doors.

Dia stood at the door, about to push it open and go inside, when suddenly she remembered something, turned around, and looked back—

As expected, Lu Ren had already driven away.

It's happening again...

Diya's lips twitched twice, and she casually slapped open the door and went inside.

Then, guided by the Tree Spirit, Dia arrived at the large villa once again.

The same quaint pavilion comes into view again, with the villa gate behind it wide open, and the bright yellow light softly illuminating the pavilion in front.

In the pavilion, a noblewoman with beautiful long green hair sat gracefully, sipping her black tea.

Upon seeing Dia, Mrs. Yorkshire's eyes lit up. She put down her teacup and exclaimed with delight:

"Little Dia is here! I thought you would stay in Kakin for a few more days before coming."

This afternoon, she suddenly received a call from Dia, who said on the phone that he could come to Pati tonight, which really surprised her.

After all, the journey from Kajin to here takes several days, according to the travel time.

'So, after Xiao Qi told him I was looking for him, Xiao Diya probably set off immediately.'

Mrs. Yorkshire nodded in approval. The efficiency and serious attitude of the other party made her more and more satisfied with Dia.

"Well, I've almost finished taking care of things over there, so I just came here."

Upon hearing Mrs. Yorkshire's words, Dia knew that the other party must have misunderstood something.

It's likely that Keita hasn't told her mother yet that Dia has returned.

But none of that matters; it's just a minor misunderstanding caused by a lack of information, and there's no need to explain it.

"Sit down. You can stay in Xiao Qiduo's room tonight. The guest room hasn't been cleaned since she left."

Mrs. Yorkshire poured Dia a cup of black tea with practiced ease and casually arranged a place for Dia to stay for the night.

The Yorkshire family's villa was very large, but there were no servants or nannies in sight. There was only an old butler who would occasionally act as a driver and doorman.

In such a situation, it's impossible to expect anyone to clean the unoccupied rooms.

Mrs. Yorkshire herself was too lazy to deal with it. In the past, Keido would clean it herself when he came, but now that Keido wasn't here, she simply arranged for Dia to move into her daughter's room.

"...We can talk about the accommodation later. It seems you have a request for me, Madam?"

Dia, of course, had no intention of staying overnight. He had only come during a break from his busy schedule and didn't have much free time.

So as soon as he sat down in the pavilion, he went straight to the point and asked the question he most wanted to know:

"I'd like to know, why doesn't Madam simply seek out Teacher Qiduo?"

"Don't keep calling her 'teacher' to me. My daughter is only three years older than you. Just call her by her name."

Mrs. Yorkshire's thinking remained peculiar, and her focus was completely unexpected by Dia.

"..."

Diya reluctantly changed her words:

"Then why didn't you seek out Qiduo when you had a request, Madam?"

Lady Yorkshire picked up her teacup, took a sip, and looked out at the sky above the gazebo, where twinkling stars added to the serene atmosphere.

After a long silence, she finally spoke:

"On the one hand, she's busy with association matters, and on the other hand, this matter concerns her father, so we really can't let her go..."

Chapter 170 The Hunter's Underlying Logic × Zoldyck

"Chido's father...Chido's father is named Sherlock, right?"

Upon hearing that it was related to Keido's father, Dia knew why Mrs. Yorkshire hadn't been looking for her.

Let Qi Duo go; who knows what she might do? If it turns into a scene of fatherly love and filial piety, that would be hilarious.

"It seems she told you. Yes, that's her father's name."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yorkshire knew that Dia probably knew the inside story, so there was no need to waste her breath talking about those messy things.
