Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

"I know, that's why I want you to eat more!"

Diya didn't indulge her at all and forced a serving of fried tofu with extra chili peppers into her mouth.

"Let me tell you, being able to eat spicy food is something you learn through practice. You'll definitely be eating a lot of spicy food from now on if you're with me..."

So who wants to practice this?!

No, who wants to follow you?

Furious but unable to speak out, Pokson could only eat the fried tofu in his hand, taking small bites at a time.

Hisoka, on the other hand, was much calmer, devouring fried tofu without hesitation. However, a layer of pink, gum-like Nen appeared on his tongue.

After finishing his meal, Hisoka thought for a moment, then took out two pieces of chewing gum from his pocket:

"Want some? [BunGeeGun], the best snacks here."

"Kids' snacks, huh? It's unbelievable that you carry this with you all the time..."

Diya was taken aback, and with a strange expression, she took the chewing gum and tossed one to Poxon.

"These were given to me by someone during the day, and I only have these two left. Speaking of which, we haven't introduced ourselves yet, have we, [partner]?"

Hisoka smiled meaningfully and said:

"I always thought you were a professional hunter, which is why I came here."

"That's a long story, I..."

Dia led the two around, familiarizing them with the terrain, and mentioned Poxon briefly:

"You don't need to know her name. Just don't get any ideas about her, or I'll rip your head off. Besides, she's utterly useless, nothing to worry about."

"OK..."

Hisoka chatted with Dia like an old friend; only he could pull off such a relaxed and familiar demeanor.

Pokson: "..."

Hearing Diya's evaluation of him, the sullen Poxen reluctantly... ate a few more bites of fried tofu.

A few minutes later, when they reached a secluded corner, Dia stopped.

"Um... what are you going to catch next...?"

Pokson chewed his gum and mumbled a question to Dia.

In fact, according to her idea, she should now go to places like taverns and underground trading centers to gather intelligence.

But Dia seems to have some plans, so let's see what this de facto "boss" wants to do first.

"Let me make a call."

Dia took out her phone and dialed a number she had saved a long time ago. After a busy signal, a lazy voice came through:

"Hello—this is Sang. Is there something you need?"

"Hey, do you remember me? I'm Dia, from Yorknew City..."

That's right, the person he was calling was Sang, whom he had specifically exchanged contact information with after the Yorknew night!

If I remember correctly, Sang is from Gramgaslan, so perhaps the other party knows something about the [Star of Gram].

Judging from Bisky's tone, this was definitely not some hidden treasure, so the locals probably knew about it.

"Oh! It's you, Brother Dia! Long time no see. What brings you here to call me?"

Sang's tone suddenly became very enthusiastic. He was quite impressed by Dia's strength and professionalism, and he was very happy to make friends with such a person.

The two people standing nearby showed subtle expressions upon hearing the name "Sang".

Hisoka narrowed his eyes, remembering the man who had thrown him four pieces of chewing gum earlier that day.

He silently looked towards the roadside, searching for a place to change his clothes, because Sang had already seen him in this outfit during the day.

He had a premonition that it was best not to reveal his name or appearance, otherwise some troublesome guys might come after him...

Pokson paused, then recalled the Yorknews night that had happened countless times.

The person who rescued Mumu Sawa using Nen abilities back then was apparently a man named "Sang".

She even felt desperate back then because she thought she had been abandoned; thinking about it now, it's quite embarrassing...

"...That's how things started, so we're currently looking for something called [Gram Star]. San, do you have any information?"

"The Star of Gram..."

A hesitant voice came from the other end of the phone. Sang seemed to know something, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally said:

“I do know about this thing, and I even have some on hand…”

“It’s hard to explain over the phone, and you can’t see the actual object. Why don’t you come to my place and take a look? I’m at 228 Downing Street right now. When you get there, just ask me where the Muritoni Circus is.”

Dia responded with an "Oh," and then hung up the phone...

Chapter 274 Telecom Fraud × Sang and Abaci

"Hey, hey, it's me... Call Dilaris over here right now, we're in big trouble!"

"Is that the commander? Okay, okay, I'll go get him right away!"

A series of footsteps followed.

Dillaris hurriedly grabbed the landline, and the commander's slightly distorted voice came from the other end of the line, tinged with panic:

"Dilalis! Dilalis! Have you come?"

"Commander, we're here! What's up?"

"Quick! We need to change our program right away! I overheard the closing act of the Muritonio Circus! It overlaps with our program!"

"What!?"

Dillaris's eyes widened instantly, losing all composure, and she cried out in panic:

"How is that possible! Where are they going to find another magician who can make people disappear into thin air?!"

"They really found them, and they're going on stage right before us! Quick, we have to change the program immediately, or our performance will be completely ruined!"

The commander's voice was shrill with despair and pain, and Dilaris could almost hear the emotions he was feeling.

The grand finale, painstakingly crafted over three months, is being pulled before it even takes the stage...

But not changing the program would be suicidal, since according to the invitation list for the Gram Festival performance, the Muritonio Circus was performing before them.

If the two circuses' acts overlap, then Luca's Magic Club, as the later performers, will lose all novelty and any chance of winning the top prize!

"how so……"

Dillah Lee felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. In despair, she dropped the microphone, but instinctively rushed towards the door.

Even in the most desperate situation, you must pull yourself together and quickly come up with a new program.

boom!

Suddenly, Dilaris bumped into a familiar figure, who cursed angrily:

"Dilalis! What are you doing? Why are you walking with your head down?!"

Upon hearing that familiar voice, Dillaris was startled and looked up in surprise, exclaiming:

"Commander!?!"

pat-

"Ahem... Ha, a magician, huh..."

Pokson casually put down the microphone, cleared her throat twice to change her voice back to its original crisp and cheerful female voice, and chuckled as she said:

"If you can't believe you were fooled by such a low-level scam as 'Hello, hello, it's me,' you should just give up on this complicated industry."

Then she turned to Abbach and Sang, who were staring in disbelief, and said:

"Did you hear that? They're going to perform the 'disappearing act.' If you prepare a similar magic trick beforehand, you can easily take them down, right?"

Abaci, whose hair was styled in a dangerous side ponytail, seemed to wake from a dream and quickly replied:

"Ah, um..."

After speaking, she hesitated and looked at Pokson, who was even younger than Sang, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

--------------

Let's go back fifty minutes.

Before the deep alley, the three of them, including Sissodia Poxen, stood in a row, ready to file in.

"You actually have connections in this area? No wonder you're a man who pretends to be a professional hunter without a hunter's license?"

Pokson looked into the depths of the alley with a complicated expression, his tone deliberately deep.

Along the way, she witnessed firsthand how Diya used connections and shortcuts to get ahead, as if she knew everyone around her, which was quite an eye-opener for her.

Boom!

Diya delivered a light but firm chop to her head, causing her to instinctively shrink back.

"Stop talking nonsense and go knock on the door."

Hisoka, who had inexplicably changed his clothes, followed Dia listlessly behind her, surprisingly without saying a word.

Pokson walked to the end of the alley and looked around.

The wooden door is slightly old but looks quite heavy. There is a black stone step at the entrance, where you can sit down and rest.

In addition, there were some white, unidentified objects resembling chewing gum corpses, which were probably left behind by someone with very low moral character and unkempt appearance.

dong dong——

Pokson knocked slightly on the heavy door, and after a moment, a lazy male voice came from behind it:

"They're here, they're here..."
