Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Of course, due to limited resources, the royal army did not conduct a very thorough inspection.

But it wasn't without any gains.

Investigators from the Justice Department found Van Dine, who was on the verge of collapse, in a secret underground room.

At that time, a steel bar had pierced his chest, and he was on the verge of a mental breakdown.

This marksman, nearing fifty and treated as an honored guest by Celidonich, was already on the verge of death.

But the moment he saw the King's army...

As if experiencing a final burst of energy before death, Van Dine suddenly calmed down and spoke fluently:

"Tell the Fourth Prince that the assassin is no ordinary person. He has been deceived. Mark is a liar. Do not confront those people directly. Even testing the waters will drag you into the abyss..."

After saying these words, he breathed his last.

According to subsequent investigations, he likely intended to provide assistance the moment the assassin broke into the hotel, but was frightened away when he approached the edge of the battlefield.

He then used his gun to detonate two gas pipes, severing the passageway from the hotel to the annex. Finally, after being impaled in the chest by an unexpectedly falling steel bar, he managed to crawl into the safe room and survive until the arrival of the King's Army.

The Royal Army thoroughly reviewed the hotel's surveillance footage.

Finally, in a storage device that was not completely destroyed, they found a frame of the intruder's back.

There were two people.

One was burly and unarmed, while the other was short and wielded a thin sword.

After comparing massive databases.

The King's Army submitted an urgent report to the Fourth Prince.

An hour later.

An exorbitant bounty has appeared on the black market for the Phantom Troupe, and rumors of their presence in New Delhi are spreading like wildfire.

……

There are still ten hours until the mobilization meeting.

At the Fourteenth Prince's palace, the Eighth Princess received a guest who had come from afar.

……

There are still eight hours until the mobilization meeting.

The residents of the outer city area quietly split into two factions.

One faction split into three lines, and the members silently gathered in three different directions.

Kuroro blended into one of the lines, waiting for the final opportunity.

……

There are still six hours until the mobilization meeting.

The Ninth Prince answered a phone call and made a deal with the person on the other end.

He promised to attend today's mobilization meeting.

……

at the same time.

Melena dispersed all her trusted men and sent them into the outer city.

A dozen or so people quietly appeared in the unruly crowd.

……

There are four hours left until the mobilization meeting.

Sherlock hid some things in a rented room on the middle floor.

He then hid in a restaurant in a small alley, intending to try the 100 signature dishes that were mentioned online.

However, the boss kept explaining anxiously:

"Brother, our family's menu only has 16 dishes. How can we possibly make 100 signature dishes for you? Besides, we don't have king crab, let alone premium sea cucumber or tuna..."

But Sherlock wouldn't listen.

……

There are still two hours until the mobilization meeting.

"Ready, set, go—"

Delia looked at the elite soldiers lined up in front of him with a cold gaze.

'The mobilization meeting is about to begin. The King will leave the palace in 43 minutes and arrive precisely on time at [Fragrant Blood Plaza], the boundary between the middle level and the outer city. The surrounding environment is complex, with residential areas and industrial parks crammed together, as well as five sky bridges and unseen sewers...'

She raised her beautiful face and looked up at the sky.

A vast, dark mass was approaching from afar, like a tidal wave crashing in.

"set off!"

Delia shouted forcefully, turning around without hesitation.

At the same time, the sound of uniform footsteps rang out, and squads of soldiers with cold, hard faces and as silent as stones marched out in all directions!

……

There was one hour left before the mobilization meeting.

It's raining.

A torrential downpour descended upon the city without any regard for reason.

At the same time, the once solid ground outside the city became muddy and wet, making it slippery to step on.

"Dig it up! Put it on your face!"

Suddenly someone shouted loudly.

The dark mass of heads were raised high.

Qi Qi dug up a large handful of black, rotten mud and smeared it on their faces and bodies.

The industrial area was covered in silt and black machine oil.

Even the torrential rain couldn't wash away the stench on them, couldn't wash away the mud from the very bottom of society, trampled by millions!

This continued until their faces were completely unrecognizable.

You can't tell the gender, the age, the identity, the class, the wealth, the beauty, or even you and me...

All that remained were pairs of eyes that seemed to burn with flames.

Boom!

Lightning flashed.

Thunder roared through the sky, its sound echoing across the land and connecting heaven and earth!

Chapter 399 Riot × Death of the Royal Family

The vast Xiangxueli Square.

Despite being under pandemic control measures, the square was still packed with enthusiastic crowds who came to admire King Naspi's appearance.

Appearing alongside the crowd were the royal army soldiers who formed a human wall.

Their mission was to act as the first line of defense, blocking the surging crowds and preventing them from impacting the royal family members in the square.

It also acts as a living barrier, isolating viruses.

Although simply preventing people from gathering in this area would be a better preventative measure.

But King Nasby believes...

Whenever he makes an appearance in public, there must be a large audience and cheers.

As for the consequences, he is confident that he can contain any extreme situations.

For example, riots and the spread of the epidemic...

Even in a certain sense.

Could this have been one of his goals all along?

Dia watched Naspi on the stage from afar.

The torrential rain gradually engulfed the entire square, but the king was naturally protected from the rain, as a huge rain shelter had been erected in the center of the square long ago.

There is a big stage there.

Nasby was gesturing wildly on the stage, his face beaming with enthusiasm, his voice loud and energetic; even if he weren't king, he could probably be an excellent orator.

However, the content of his speech was not very interesting.

The entire piece is self-praise and calls on everyone to face the difficulties together.

At least on the surface.

There is no indication that Nasby could be described as a "tyrant".

"I will only emphasize one thing here: gray!"

Nasby extended a short, thick finger, its tip adorned with dazzling jewels, like a knight's lance, pointing it proudly to the sky, and declared loudly:

"I am the King of Kakin! I will stand with my people! And with my princes, the Greys, who inherit my great bloodline!"

Nasby waved his hand proudly, pointing to the row of princes standing behind him!

Dia followed the tip of his finger.

The eldest prince, Benjamin, nodded steadily.

Second Prince Camilla held her head high with pride.

The third prince, Qiu Lai, stood silently.
