Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

At that moment, Dia's voice rang out:

“Mite, Kim only mentioned you to me once. He said he has a son on his hometown Whale Island and a cousin who takes care of him.”

"really……"

Mitt lowered his head in disappointment.

As expected, that person had probably long forgotten about her, and at most only remembered that she had a son named Xiao Jie.

Looking at the obedient, silent Xiao Jie in front of him, Mitsu felt a sense of panic rising in his heart.

Xiao Jie, will you forget her in the future?

The thought of such a future made Mitt tremble with fear!

"Aunt Mitt..."

Xiao Jie sensed Mitt's sudden change in mood and looked at her with concern.

Seeing this, Mitt gritted his teeth and struggled to say:

"You're just saying all this to prove you're familiar with Jin, but in the end, it's all just hearsay. What evidence do you have to prove your relationship with Jin, like contacting him or something?"

"...I can indeed contact him."

Suddenly, Diya felt a soft body snuggle into his arms, listening intently to the voice on the other end of the phone.

"..."

After thinking for a moment, Diya let Mumu Ze lie there and said:

"But there's no need for that. He often stays in ancient mausoleums, where there's probably no signal. However, I do have a photo of me with him..."

As she spoke, Diya began to browse through her phone's photo album.

Fortunately, when he left the Ancient Ganyu Kingdom last time, he took a photo with Jin, and now he's found a use for it.

The image on Dia's phone eventually settled on a group photo of the four of them.

Mumu Ze looked over curiously.

In the image, Dia occupies the center position, behind her is a unkempt, strange-looking middle-aged man, a timid-looking woman, and...

A beautiful and dignified girl with purple eyes, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stood gracefully beside Diya.

Mumu Ze's eyes sharpened!

Diya didn't notice this and sent the picture over without thinking, casually saying:

“Although Kim looked a bit like a homeless person back then, I don’t think you, Mitt, would fail to recognize him.”

On the other side of Whale Island, Killua laid his phone flat, and everyone looked at it with curiosity or anticipation.

The photo shows four people with very different styles.

"That person is Jin..."

Xiao Jie looked at the disheveled uncle and muttered to himself.

Although he had never seen Kim's full face, Xiao Jie was certain the moment he saw the photo.

This photo is real, and that person is definitely Kim!

If Xiao Jie could recognize him, then Mi Te would be even more obvious.

The moment she saw the photo, she was in a daze and couldn't speak for a long time.

That was definitely Jin. He didn't look any different, except he looked even more disheveled than he had been years ago.

Is he okay?

Mitt's lips trembled, but he still couldn't bring himself to ask the question.

Silence fell over the living room.

Seeing this, Killua seized the opportunity to speak into the phone:

"As expected, Dia, you mentioned Whale Island with a purpose back then. It was probably for Gon, wasn't it? His father is also a very skilled hunter, so you wanted me to train him to become a hunter, right?"

Killua looked smug, as if he had guessed Dia's thoughts:

"In that case, why don't you take Xiao Jie as your student too? Where are you now? We'll come find you right away."

"Let me tell you, Xiao Jie's talent is extraordinary..."

Dia quickly interrupted him:

"I know that, but you and Xiao Jie can't come here."

Killua was taken aback, and just as he was about to say something, he heard Dia continue:

"Where I am now is too dangerous for you."

"If we use a game as an analogy, it's like you're trying to challenge the Demon King's castle before you've even left the beginner village. It's something that talent alone can't compensate for."

Killua felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.

Xiao Jie asked in confusion:

"Demon King? Starting village?"

He didn't understand these game terms.

Killua forced a smile and said to him:

"You don't understand, do you? It means we're too weak."

"Is Killua one too?"

Xiao Jie's expression gradually turned dejected.

A calm voice came from the other end of the phone:

"I'm sorry to be so harsh on you, but that's the truth. As half-baked individuals, you would probably be at risk of death even when facing elite ordinary soldiers. Killua is slightly better off, but Gon has absolutely no combat experience."

Death? Soldiers? Battle?

Both Gon and Mito, who knew nothing about the hunter profession, were taken aback.

Why are you suddenly bringing up something so dangerous?

Before they could react, Dia continued:

"Killua, how's your study of the Four Elements coming along?"

"We have mastered it all."

Killua answered instinctively.

"And what about your Nen ability?"

"..."

Killua shut his mouth, speechless.

"Then you probably haven't learned [Firm], [Hidden], [Flow], and [Circle] either, let alone [Hard] and [Round]."

Dia shook her head and spoke calmly.

Unsurprisingly, there was no response on the other end of the phone.

"Xiao Jie, how's your study of the Big Four accounting firms going?"

"Ah, I've only learned [Entanglement] and [Practice]..."

Xiao Jie said shyly.

"It's already pretty good. Although he's not the most talented person I've ever seen, he is indeed exceptionally gifted. However, if you want to survive in the world of hunters, this level is still too low."

"Wait a minute, Mr. Dia! May I call you that?"

Mitt couldn't listen any longer and interrupted in a trembling voice:

"What are you talking about? What's with all this talk about 'nen' and 'hardness'? Aren't we discussing Gon's decision to leave home and become a hunter? Why are you bringing up words like 'risk of death'?"

"You, and Jin, you're professional hunters, right? Is being a professional hunter a very dangerous profession?"

"To be fair, yes."

Dia's reply remained cold and unsympathetic:

"And the so-called Nen can also be understood as a kind of superpower with a very high threshold. It can be used to easily achieve certain superhuman abilities. Jin is the best in this field."

"The profession of professional hunter is extremely dangerous, from obtaining a hunter's license to handling commissions and fighting against all kinds of enemies. Death is just a common occurrence."

"How could such a thing be possible..."

Mit still couldn't believe it.

Diya checked the time and decided not to waste any more time talking. Instead, she spoke directly into the microphone:

"Killua, Gon, what I just said wasn't to persuade you to give up. On the contrary, I hope you can rise to the challenge and stand on your own!"

"To help you reach your full potential, I will give you three tasks. Once you complete them, you will be qualified to come to me or Jin."

Upon hearing this, Qi Jie, who had just been looking like a wilted eggplant, immediately perked up and listened attentively!

Dia continued:

"Your first task is to personally persuade Mitt to agree to let you leave Whale Island!"

Xiao Jie: "Yes!"

Killua: "Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Mitt subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

Dia continued:

"The second task is for you to go to the Sky Arena in the Republic of Padokia, and go from the first floor to the 200th floor without losing a single match, and then become the [Lord]. In the process, you must master the [Four Great Principles]."

Killua: "Yes!"

Xiao Jie: "Huh?"

"The third task is to earn 20 billion ni through my own efforts after completing the second task!"

Mito, who had been eavesdropping, was taken aback: "Huh?"
