Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

"Kill the fourth prince, Cheridone."

"Poxon said calmly."

"..."

Kuroro shook his head and calmly said:

“No, killing the prince is too risky unless he leaves Kakin.”

He didn't ask Poxon why he killed Celidonich; it was none of his business, nor was it related to his goals.

Pokson knew this too; it was just a pretense for haggling. She continued:

“Then kill his private army captain Van Dine and his assistant Mark. I’ll send you their photos to this number.”

"……it is good."

A seemingly simple but bloody deal was settled in just a few words.

But Kuroro could never have imagined it.

Such a seemingly reasonable decision will ultimately pull him and the Phantom Troupe onto a train called "Accident".

And hurtling headlong into the bottomless abyss!

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

Melina handed a small note to Dia, her face showing shame, and said:

“We have only located a portion of the princes, while most of the high-ranking princes have kept their whereabouts well hidden.”

It's normal that they can't find him; the prince's whereabouts are a closely guarded secret.

Logically speaking, it's simply a pipe dream for these gangsters to find the prince's whereabouts.

But the Molina group is different.

With his Dogman abilities, he can locate people whose scent he has previously memorized over a large area.

He had already memorized the scents of all the princes except the third prince, and after that tea party, he also memorized the scent of the third prince.

It was thanks to the Dog Warrior's abilities that Melina had the opportunity to find the prince's whereabouts when the royal army imposed a lockdown on the city.

Dia glanced at it, put it in her pocket, and casually said:

"It's alright, this is enough."

"The mobilization meeting is coming up soon, you should know what that means, right?"

Melina nodded slightly:

"It's a succession war, isn't it? I didn't expect it to start at this time. The other two families have already issued notices that they will rest and recuperate for the next few days. They are probably accumulating strength to assist and support the prince."

"And what about you? If I remember correctly, the Aiyi family supports the fourth prince, Cheridoneshi, right?"

Dia asked in return.

“Our team leader passed away unexpectedly yesterday, and they are currently recommending me to be the new team leader, but the process is not yet complete.”

"Melena said casually."

"..."

Dia glanced at Melena's face, thinking to himself:

'An accidental death? I'm afraid you killed him.'

He looked at the silent team members behind Melina.

Compared to before, their aura was clearly much stronger, their bodies exuding an undeniable stench of blood, and their every move emanating a powerful force.

This is a manifestation of someone who has become stronger overnight and therefore cannot control their strength.

"You've killed quite a few people these past few days, haven't you?"

Dia walked past Melina and stood in front of the group members, staring intently at them:

"You've become so strong! Should I weigh you?"

Several group members felt uneasy under his gaze, beads of cold sweat forming on their foreheads. They subconsciously shifted their feet, their lips trembling.

Melina remained expressionless and said with a smile:

"Lord Dia is too kind. The security situation has been poor these past few days, and we were just doing our best to defend ourselves."

"Really? Then why are some people telling me that Newderry's murder rate has been much higher than usual these past few days?"

Dia wasn't just making things up.

Caesar did mention this to him in the last couple of days.

Moreover, Saqiu has been extremely busy these past few days, sending an average of more than a dozen murderers to prison every day.

But it's a pity.

Those are just petty thugs taking advantage of the current poor public security to vent their personal desires.

According to Caesar, Saqiu had also captured gangsters like the Aiyi family before.

But these gangsters are incredibly tough; once they're caught, they find an opportunity to commit suicide. Saqiu can't keep an eye on them all the time, so he basically can't catch any useful people.

"We are also investigating this."

Melina said with a sincere expression:

“Someone in the outer city killed several demolition workers who were confiscating shacks, then dismembered them and dumped the bodies on our territory. Now some people in the King’s Army believe that we did it, but that’s not the case.”

"Besides these, there are many other things that others have framed us for."

Her words were half true and half false.

The matter of framing someone did indeed happen.

Melina had no idea who was so audacious as to kill those public officials, which attracted the attention of the royal army.

But it wasn't as she said, that everything was a frame-up. They took advantage of the pandemic to kill indiscriminately and cultivate a lot of useful people.

Although they suffered heavy losses while being pursued by the hunter, they were able to manage to navigate this complex area thanks to their spatial abilities.

Dia smiled upon hearing Melena's words.

Without saying whether he believed it or not, he casually patted Melina on the shoulder and turned to leave the room.

After a while.

A cacophony of sounds filled the room.

Some of the new residents, who had only recently joined, asked the elderly people next to them with surprise and uncertainty:

"Who was that guy just now? Why was the boss so respectful to him?"

"Say less, and don't talk about that person behind their back."

"What?"

"There's no reason why, just do what Melena says!"

The newcomer was speechless upon hearing this, and could only lower his head and hum a few times to express his dissatisfaction.

Melina glanced indifferently at her whispering underlings, clapped her hands, and dismissed them, telling them to go back to their places.

At this moment, the dog warrior who had been following Morina approached and asked softly:

"Are we just going to let him go like this?"

"Otherwise, can you sense the upper limit of his strength?"

"Melena countered with a question."

Dog Warrior shook his head:

"I can only sense that his 'aura' far surpasses all of ours, but I can't sense his true upper limit of strength."

"Let's imagine things going in the right direction. In any case, we can't afford to break ties with him right now."

Melina turned and sat back on the sofa, a deep and terrifying malice flashing in her eyes, and said softly:

"Besides, it wouldn't be bad to let him test those high and mighty princes like this..."

Melina was making her own plans.

Her ability allows the infected person who killed the prince to level up 50 levels in one go.

If Dia's people can sneak up behind her and pick off any stragglers while she's on her way, then killing just two princes would be enough to create a fully leveled "Infected".

Melina believed.

Even that person wouldn't be able to easily deal with a fully leveled "Infected".

Only then will the balance of power shift...

……

In the palace of the twelfth prince.

Mumu Ze is carefully selecting a dress.

This is in preparation for the mobilization meeting that all the princes will attend.

Qiduo sat quietly on the sofa with her legs together, like a white and green peony bud about to bloom, sipping a cup of hot tea.

"Miss Qiduo, what do you think of this outfit?"

Wearing a bright yellow court dress, Mumu Ze calmly walked up to Qi Duo and twirled around.

"Very cute, and also very dignified."

Qi Duo smiled and gave an objective evaluation.

"So, do you think Diya will like this outfit?"

Qi Duo's smile faded, and she said calmly:

"Probably. That guy will like any pretty girl, no matter what."

"Oh, that's good."

Mumu Ze only heard what she wanted to hear, and happily turned around to continue fixing her makeup.
