Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

The fourth prince, Celidone, stared absently at his hands, a wisp of spiritual energy swirling between them.

The fifth prince, Tsbepa, calmly pushed up his glasses.

Sixth Prince Tyson smiled broadly and blew kisses to the crowd.

The seventh prince, Lutz, turned his face away, looking nonchalant.

The eighth prince, Longrezare, looked disdainful.

Ninth Prince Halkenbrugge raised his hand in greeting.

Prince Kadjo and Prince Fugates held hands and smiled demurely at each other.

The twelfth prince, Mumu Ze, winked mischievously at Diya, while Pokson stood behind her with his hands behind his back, ready for battle.

Thirteenth Prince Marayan searched for the figure of Seventh Princess Seranghi in a daze.

The Eighth Princess held the Fourteenth Prince in her arms, her head bowed in silence, lost in thought.

However, in the eyes of those who understand "Nian", every prince is accompanied by a "guardian spirit beast" that is either cute or terrifying!

A thunderous cheer erupted from the crowd:

"King! King! King!"

The sound coalesced into a wave of sound, causing the entire square to vibrate!

Diya withdrew her gaze, braving the torrential rain, and indifferently faced the crowd again.

At this moment, he was wearing a pair of large sunglasses that covered most of his face, and he also wore makeup that concealed his facial features.

If you weren't extremely familiar with him, you definitely wouldn't recognize him at first glance.

He changed into a black fitted suit that accentuated his tall and muscular physique, and wearing a military communication headset, looking every bit the professional bodyguard as he stood alongside the King's Army.

In fact, not only him, but also the private soldiers led by Qiduo, Poxon, and Momo were required to wear uniforms and change into black suits.

Otherwise, they wouldn't let you into the square.

Right beside Dia, Qiduo tugged at the hem of her clothes, her eyebrows furrowing slightly, and complained:

"This suit is such a hassle. I brought civilian clothes that are suitable for combat, but they won't let me wear them."

Wearing a black suit, she lost some of her delicate beauty but gained a more heroic and dashing air. Her long green hair was also tied into a high ponytail, making her look even more capable.

She was a bit short, only reaching Dia's torso, but against that delicate face, she looked rather petite and cute.

Diya's gaze swept over her body subtly, and he said calmly:

"Be content. Bock is suffering more. She had to bind her chest for ages, but you didn't have to..."

"That's enough, just shut up."

With a cold, pretty face, Qiduo elbowed Dia in the waist and stopped talking to this annoying person.

Dia remained expressionless and withdrew her gaze.

My mind began to reflect on everything I had just seen in the square that was noteworthy:

'Celidonish has already learned Nen. Was it because the Phantom Troupe was exposed? Those incompetent good-for-nothings…'

'Furthermore, all the princes' spirit beasts have already hatched, and the thirteenth prince Marayan's spirit beast has grown to an enormous size. Is it the tense atmosphere in the city that makes him uneasy?'

'The woman beside the Fifth Prince must be Longji. How many others are like her, compared to Yang De's daughter?'

'Among the Fifth Princess's direct troops, there are quite a few Nen users.'

and also……

Diya glanced at the Eighth Princess from afar.

Behind her stood a short, burly figure with a powerful aura and fierce eyes, who was warily scanning everything around him, including King Nasby.

The figure was quite familiar to Dia.

It was Brother Kangzai, who was ranked in the "Yin" position of the "Twelve Earthly Branches".

Besides being a treasure hunter, his main job is also as a bodyguard, which is a perfect match for his expertise.

His appearance here as the Fourteenth Prince's bodyguard was due to the introduction of Keita and Dia.

After the Eighth Princess Consort made it clear that she was willing to form an alliance with Mu Mu Ze, Di Ya had been thinking about it.

How can they protect the defenseless Eighth Princess and the infant Fourteenth Prince amidst the current complex war situation?

It's impossible for him to handle everything on his own.

Therefore, considering that the Eighth Princess Consort's biggest bargaining chip was her enormous sum of money, which surpassed everyone else's,

Diya recommended Kang Zai to the Eighth Princess.

As one of the twelve members of the Hunter Association, Kangzai's professional skills are quite outstanding, more than enough to protect a woman and child.

At the same time, the commission offered by the other party is shockingly high.

For the maximum, one-year, 24/7 protection, Kang Jae's offer was as high as 10 billion jini.

This number represents the entire fortune of many Star Hunters.

Even Silva, the head of the Zoldyck family, wouldn't charge more than 30 billion yen on average to kill someone.

Of course, killing and guarding are not the same thing in terms of difficulty.

However, according to Kido, this price was set by Kangzai out of laziness.

If the price were high enough, no one would hire him for such a long guard duty.

However, unexpectedly...

When Kang Jae heard that the task involved protecting a woman and a child and that it would involve minimal killing, he agreed without much hesitation. After rushing around, he finally made it in time for the start of the succession war today.

'The king's speech is almost over. Once it's dismissed, have Qiduo take Mumu Ze back, and then go with Pok to deal with the spider matter...'

Dia's eyes, hidden behind large sunglasses, scanned the dense crowd before her, but she still couldn't find Kuroro.

However, he did not let his guard down.

Because Kuroro has the ability to disguise himself as a transfer student.

slam-la-

The crowd cheered once again, the shouts rising higher and higher, constantly chanting the king's name.

Dia glanced back and saw that the princes and the king had already begun to leave.

It seems the conference has ended.

In other words, the succession battle has already begun...

A glint of light flashed in Diya's eyes.

Since we haven't found Kuroro yet, let's move on to another mission.

His gaze swept across the area, his eyes seemingly casually landing on—

Second Prince, Camilla.

The other person was very tall, with a head of dazzling golden hair that made her stand out in the crowd. Combined with her refined and elegant appearance, she was incredibly radiant.

But this dazzling brilliance will become her death warrant today!

"I have something to take care of. You hurry up and catch up with Mumu Ze and the others."

Dia leaned close to Qiduo's ear and whispered something before quietly following the flow of people and disappearing into the complex alleyway.

Swish swish!

Entering the long, secluded alley, Diya stepped onto the bluestone slab and moved back and forth like a ghost, leaping onto a residential building using the walls on both sides!

'Camilla left in the southeast direction...'

Diya lowered her body, peeked out from the wall, gathered her spiritual energy in her eyes, and looked southeast.

There, countless people crowded together.

A luxury car struggled to move forward through the crowd.

Dia squinted and saw a dazzling gold glint through the car window.

That's it!

Luckily there were a lot of people today, otherwise she would have really gotten away!

Dia sneered.

He was just about to get up and quietly follow the car.

Sudden.

Some strange noises seemed to be coming from the horizon—

Bang bang bang!

No! That's not a strange sound, it's rapid gunfire!

Dia turned her head sharply towards the source of the gunshot—

They were a group of anxious royal soldiers.

Their faces were ashen, cold sweat beaded on their foreheads, and the muzzles of their spears continued to spew deadly flames!

The army opened fire!

Right there in the square where the crowd had gathered, without any regard for the possibility of affecting or harming innocent people, they resolutely pulled the trigger of heavy firepower!

The reason they were ordered to open fire was...

A familiar female figure lay in a pool of blood.

Beside her stood the young Prince Marayan, stunned and weeping.

Mumu Ze's biological mother, the seventh queen, Serwangqi.

death!

'What happened?!'

Diya's heart skipped a beat, and she scanned the scene with suspicion and uncertainty.
