Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Even on the surface, the human seemed quite relaxed, as if he had no burden at all.

'No, this must be told to the other division commanders and the Queen. We need to move as soon as possible…'

With a solemn expression, Merleon slowly turned transparent and disappeared.

Kajin State Guesthouse.

The staff are busy arranging the tea sets.

At this time, in addition to Kakin's national flag, another country's small flag was also hung in the state guesthouse, indicating that it was during a visit by a foreign leader.

The country visited was the ancient Ganyu Kingdom.

Unlike the parliamentary chambers used for formal diplomatic receptions of foreign guests, the main function of the state guesthouse is informal meetings and banquets.

The reason for choosing this location.

On the one hand, it was because the old king had not yet abdicated, and the special envoy from the Kingdom of Guganyu had specifically stated that he was there to congratulate the new crown prince, so it was inconvenient to do so in the council chamber.

On the other hand, this meeting was not about discussing serious topics such as cooperation, but rather about expressing international support for the change of Kakin regime; it was more about formalities than substance.

"Kalim, where is the Guganyu delegation? Is their journey going smoothly?"

Busy.

A tall, thin official seized the opportunity and asked another short, stout official in rapid succession.

As civil servants of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, their work today is especially important, and their responsibilities are especially heavy.

"Let me tell you, today is the first time that Kakin has sent an envoy to our country since Kakin and Guganyu fell out 20 years ago. If you mess this up, your whole family won't be enough to go around in the executioner's block!"

The tall, thin man was sweating profusely as he worked, occasionally giving instructions. If the waiters were too slow, he would personally set out the tables, chairs, and teacups.

The short, stout man, Kalim, was on the phone when he heard this, so he quickly hung up and said:

"Don't worry, Stella. The other side also attaches great importance to this diplomatic mission. They have deployed top-level security personnel to assist, and there are at least three contingency plans for every step. There's no way things could get stuck."

"what?"

Upon hearing this, the tall, thin man, Stella, exclaimed in surprise:

"Level One Security? Are you sure you're not mistaken? That's the security detail for national leaders! On the list Gu Ganyu gave us, isn't the highest leader only a vice-ministerial level foreign minister?"

"No mistake, but their list is incomplete..."

beep--

Kalim's voice was interrupted by a short horn blast, and the two instinctively straightened up and looked toward the door.

That horn blare meant that the people above had arrived!

Anyway.

What happened next was beyond their control.

The heavy, reddish-brown door was slowly pushed open.

A tall, slender figure walked into the hall first, his gaze calmly sweeping over the surroundings, all in the sight of everyone.

The young man was handsome and had an outstanding presence, making him exceptionally eye-catching.

'It's him...'

Stella and Karim exchanged a glance, both recognizing the young man's identity.

New Delhi Underground News—

The young man named Dia will be the future regent; we must hurry and curry favor with him.

'It seems he'll be the main person in charge of receiving foreign guests this time; the Crown Prince will probably just make a brief appearance and leave.'

After all, from a diplomatic standpoint, a mere foreign minister from the Kingdom of Guganyu is indeed not worthy of being received by the Crown Prince throughout the entire process.

However, since the other party specifically requested a meeting with the Crown Prince, it would be appropriate for the future regent to act on their behalf.

Closely following behind him was Mumu Ze, dressed in a bright yellow traditional Kakin suit, who kept yawning.

Because it was a formal diplomatic occasion, she also wore that heavy crimson cloak, with golden tassels adorning the curves of her chest.

For some reason, she walked particularly slowly today.

He also appeared listless.

It was like an honest villager who had been sexually exploited by a succubus for five hours and twenty minutes.

Mumu Ze sat down listlessly in the main seat, her quiet and lovely face filled with exhaustion, and said in a drawn-out tone:

"I'm so tired, my whole body aches."

She wrapped her arms around Dia's arm, leaning half her body against him like some kind of soft, squishy creature.

In fact, the bodies of Nen users are still very fragile without years of rigorous training and without using Nen to protect themselves.

Even during the Hunter Exam in the manga, Illumi, who had undergone the Zoldyck family's brutal training since childhood, was able to have his wrist broken by Gon's forceful squeeze without using Nen. At that time, Gon hadn't even experienced the "Trial Gate" yet.

Diya did not sit down, but stood to the left of the main seat, letting the other woman hold her hand, and said helplessly:

"So why did you insist on coming?"

Although it was an important diplomatic occasion, it wouldn't have been impossible to simply say that the Crown Prince was unwell and send a few high-ranking officials in his place.

As a result, after hearing about the afternoon's schedule, Mumu Ze immediately got out of bed.

She even put a lot of effort into her outfit and makeup, which was quite perplexing.

"intuition."

Mumu Ze answered succinctly.

However, this answer only made people more confused and did nothing to help.

Their nonchalant behavior only served to confirm the rumors in the eyes of others.

As Diya and Mumu Ze arrived, not long after, another long horn blared.

This means that the envoy from Gu Ganyu has also arrived.

As several sharp-eyed, imposing guards entered the hall, the Guganyu delegation, surrounded by Kajin's welcoming officials, arrived before Mumuze.

Five people from the ancient Ganyu Kingdom attended this meeting.

This included the second-in-commands of various departments in the ancient Ganyu Kingdom, as well as a foreign minister named Mingduo.

According to the regulations for state visits of the ancient Ganyu Kingdom.

A delegation led by a vice-state-level official is limited to no more than ten people, while a delegation led by a state-level official is limited to no more than six people. Accompanying staff are not included in this number, so the delegation was relatively small.

However, Dia didn't pay any attention to it.

It's possible that the ancient Ganyu Kingdom is still harboring resentment over the falling out 20 years ago, so they only sent a small group of people as a probe.

"Get up."

Diya gently nudged the drowsy Crown Prince.

Mu Muze seemed to wake from a dream, stiffly stood up, and walked forward instinctively.

The Foreign Minister of the Ancient Ganyu Kingdom was an elderly man with white hair, a square face, narrow eyes, and a kind expression. Upon seeing this, he placed his right hand on his chest and respectfully said:

"Your Highness, I extend my sincere greetings on behalf of the ancient Ganyu Kingdom..."

Behind him were four officials, three men and one woman, dressed in sharp black suits with serious expressions. After he finished his greetings, they introduced themselves one by one and offered their greetings.

Formal diplomatic procedures are very lengthy and cumbersome, while informal occasions are much simpler.

After the introductions, Stella led the envoy to his seat, and then all the other people were led out, leaving only two guards from Kakin and two guards from Guganyu.

The reception room of the state guesthouse suddenly became empty.

Mumu Ze checked the appearances of the five envoys again, then looked bored, yawned, and sat back down in the main seat.

There's nothing noteworthy.

The rest is up to Dia.

"...I'm sorry, she's not feeling well. I'll handle the rest of the procedures."

Looking at the now-dead, lifeless girl Mumu Ze, Diya shook her head helplessly and said to Minister Mingduo, who was sitting in the chair to the side.

He couldn't understand where the dignified and gentle prince had gone.

"It's okay, no need to go through any procedures."

An unexpected voice rang out, but it did not come from the Foreign Minister; rather, it came from the only female official in the Kakin delegation!

With an air of absolute authority, she effortlessly issued orders to her nominal superior, the Minister of Mingduo, as if she were the true ruler.

Dia blinked.

The scene before him left him somewhat bewildered.

Are the officials of the ancient Ganyu Kingdom so audacious as to openly issue orders, bypassing the vice-national-level leader?

But then he witnessed an even stranger scene—

Mingduo, the nominal vice-national leader and foreign minister of the ancient Ganyu Kingdom, actually ignored the officials who openly overstepped their authority and issued orders!

He had closed his eyes, pursed his lips, and lowered his head, seemingly asleep, but his steady, short breathing betrayed that he was still awake.

"Minister Mingduo..."

Dia raised an eyebrow, about to speak up and "wake" the other person, when she was interrupted by the female official who had spoken earlier:

"Don't waste any more time, Dia. He dares not know anything about what happened here."

Does she know herself?

The thought flashed through Dia's mind, and she instinctively looked at the female official.

Both their appearance and voice were completely unfamiliar to them.
