Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

The middle-aged man felt a great weight lifted from his heart and finally relaxed a little.

The next moment, Cureasapano's words caused another weight to rise in his heart:

"However, he said that this matter touched on Mu Muze's bottom line, and that if he alone tried to dissuade him, it might still be impossible to avoid huge bloodshed and reckoning."

"Then, what should we do?"

The middle-aged man became anxious.

Who knows if this bloody purge will end up on him?

"Don't rush,"

Cureasapano calmly said:

“We have already discussed it and will summon all the nobles in the next few days, whether they are in exile or abroad, or living in seclusion. They will all be summoned to New Delhi.”

"When the time comes, all the nobles will put pressure on the new king together, and with Dia's advice, even the new king will not be able to ignore this force. This matter will be over. As long as you stop courting death, the prince will not keep bothering you."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man finally relaxed a little.

Upon witnessing this scene, Cureasapano's eyes held an even deeper level of mockery.

Just then, a gasp suddenly rang out in the council chamber:

"His Majesty!"

The two paused, both looking toward the dais in the council chamber.

really.

There, Naspi stood quietly, supported by his body.

Surprisingly, Naspi now looks like a white-haired, wrinkled, old, and tired man!

Naspi's eyes were cloudy, his steps were unsteady, and he was being supported by another person, occasionally letting out a muffled cough.

In just a few hours, he looked like he was nearing the end of his life.

This sight instantly stunned everyone who was unaware of the situation. Whether officials or nobles, they all looked at each other in bewilderment, at a loss for what to do.

Mumu Ze, who was supporting Naspi, was no less surprised than they were, but in front of so many people, she couldn't show any undignified expression.

Today, Mumu Ze wore a royal blue silk jacquard dress that covered her chest to below her collarbone. She wore white gloves and a solemn crimson cloak held up by a dazzling gold tassel, making her look dignified and majestic.

After a brief commotion, the council chamber quickly returned to solemnity.

The people in this council chamber today represent all the important departments, large and small, of the country; it is the true power center of Kagin.

They all fell silent.

The silence lasted for a full ten minutes before being broken by a slow, dry sound.

The voice was chanting an ancient song that all the Kakin people had heard:

"When my days are over, please let me know, Motherland, Motherland, I have given my all for you..."

The crowd was silent, and the song echoed repeatedly beneath the dome, lingering and swirling.

The children's songs, when listened to at this moment, evoke only solemnity and tragedy.

Naspi softly sang a ballad, shaking off Mumu Ze's support, and walked shakily to the front of the stage.

He calmly looked from the first row to the last.

From the royal relatives to the heads of the three major institutions, they all stared intently at the old king, silently awaiting his decrees, their gazes heavy.

Ha, they don't know yet.

In a daze, Nasby seemed to return to thirty years ago, when he was in his prime, full of vigor and spirit, and had conquered the people and his subjects with his martial virtue and wisdom.

Only talent can win people's support.

Now, weakened by the backlash, he is on his deathbed; it's time...

Nasby carefully considered his words, licked his dry lips, and slowly began to recount his achievements over the past year:

"In the past year, our crop yield has reached 100% of last year's..."

Everyone listened quietly as the king gave his routine report.

This is the thirtieth time since Kakin became secular.

I don't know how much time has passed.

The old king finished his report for the year, and the room erupted in enthusiastic applause.

After a while, the applause gradually subsided.

The king did something unusual—

He bowed to the seated crowd, followed by a slow second bow. At this point, some people realized what was happening, and applause began to emerge.

With the third bow, applause began to erupt throughout the hall.

"Clap clap clap..."

Everyone stood up and applauded the king who had held supreme power for thirty years.

At the same time, more people have shifted their attention to Mumu Ze.

"..."

Mumu Ze strangely adjusted his heavy crimson velvet shawl, the golden tassels swaying twice in front of his fair collarbone.

I don't understand why these people are staring at her.

Mu Muze didn't understand what the people below were thinking, nor did she feel nervous; her thoughts had long since drifted far away to who-knows-where.

……

Kajin First Military Hospital.

Diya paused, straightened her clothes, and pushed open the door to enter the ward.

The ward was pristine white, the beds were neatly arranged, and sunlight streamed through the glass, accumulating on the blankets, flowing and solidifying, creating a tranquil atmosphere as if time itself had stood still.

Qiduo sat quietly by the bed, her legs tightly pressed together. She wore her signature white and green dress, the neckline conservatively covering her neck, with a small golden cross hanging down, like a blooming peony.

Beautiful, sublime, conservative, serene, and aloof—this was Dia's impression of the person before her.

Qiduo looked up once, then lowered her head again, remaining silent.

She was very annoyed.

"Sherlock isn't here?"

Dia walked over to Qiduo and asked casually.

He said the person he was waiting for had arrived and he needed to meet him, so he left first.

"Is he alright?"

"It's nothing, just a mild concussion, nothing serious."

How did you manage to invite Poxon to work with you?

"She has the ability, and besides, she herself doesn't want to remain a vassal of Mumu Ze forever."

"A vassal? I don't think Mumu Ze would mean that."

“But legally speaking, that’s how it is. Pokson is Mumu Ze’s property in a legal sense, and it’s the part that can’t be separated even under divorce law.”

The two talked in a disjointed manner, mainly consisting of one person saying and the other answering.

Dia was a bit overwhelmed.

It's not because Poxon can't be awarded to him.

Instead, it was Qiduo, who was sulking in front of him, whom he was seeing for the first time.

My impression of Qiduo has always been that she is straightforward and generous, with a chest that is completely disproportionate to her bust size, to put it bluntly, she is like a paladin.

What are you angry about?

Dia decided to ask directly.

"You also think I should be angry, right?"

Kido asked with a hint of sarcasm:

"It seems you're not so arrogant as to be unaware of your own problems, my Mr. Paramecium."

"For example?"

"For example, since we met, do you remember how many lies you've told?"

Qiduo gritted her teeth; the more sarcastic and biting the words were, the more agitated and uneasy she became.

This was never her preferred style.

Dia sat down, pretending to think, but actually trying to calm Qi Duo down.

"Can't figure it out, huh? Have you been talking too much? You're such a viper, a ghost, and a Helicobacter pylori bacterium!"

Qi Duo was furious when she saw him looking like he was really going to count, and she wanted to gather up all the insulting words in the world to give him a good scolding.

But when all the words come to mind, only a few bland adjectives remain.

"Am I not worthy of your trust?"

Even with her unwavering resolve, Qi Duo felt a pang of grievance and bitterness when she uttered those words.

Logically speaking, such emotions shouldn't exist in her at all, but emotions are often beyond our control.

"..."

Dia was speechless for a moment.

Kido stood up in disappointment, walked towards the door, and said as she went:

"I got too carried away. I'll reflect on my actions. You should go and deal with more important matters..."

"and many more."

Dea helplessly called out to Qiduo, who was fleeing with her head covered:

"I never said I was going to hide it from you."
