From Hunter x Hunter to Supreme Will

"Don't worry, the old man is not in danger. He is Isaac Netero... Besides, the enemy's revenge target is not the Association, but V5! The leader is called Jade, the leader of the Hunter Association's underground organization in the past. He will not take the president's life easily... What he wants to do is to make the old man reveal the truth that was concealed back then. As long as the president disagrees, he will not die for the time being... But he may suffer a little torture."

Oboro explained in a joking tone.

"you know?!"

Yorkshire was shocked.

"Not only do I know, Pariston must also know the other party's origins... Let him solve it. I'm very busy now."

Long replied and was about to put down the phone.

"hazy!!!"

On the other end, Yorkshire yelled angrily.

Hao pulled the phone one meter away from his ear...

"Although you are a three-star hunter, you are still under the management of the association. I still have the right to issue orders to you! Nothing is absolute. Now the president is in danger, and other members of the association have been kidnapped and their lives and deaths are unknown... You must come back and cooperate with us to deal with this matter!"

"Well...it seems that Pariston is not going to care."

Long heard it...That's right, as an opponent.

Netero was stuck in the quagmire, which was a scene that Pariston was happy to see.

"He asked you to come to me, didn't he?"

Long said it lightly.

"..."

Yorkshire remained silent, which was considered as his agreement.

"Aren't you Twelve Earthly Branches a little too useless? It was a wise decision for me not to join you in the beginning..." Long smiled, not caring about Yorkshire's self-esteem and feelings at all, and said word by word: "This is obviously a good opportunity to show your abilities... to consolidate the prestige of your Twelve Earthly Branches within the association, but... in the end, you just handed it over to me! This is not okay... It's really worrying to hand over the management rights of the association to you."

"I don't have any idea about power, but now I have to think about it. If there is an opportunity in the future, why not let me be the president? I feel... I will do a good job, at least I can train your abilities... Otherwise, your business capabilities and management status are not well matched."

"Hazy, you've had enough!"

Yorkshire said coldly: “We just want to minimize the impact of this incident as soon as possible, which concerns the president himself, to avoid more trouble.”

"Don't be so stubborn."

"..."

"If you can rescue the president, I can consider nominating you as a candidate for the next president at some point in the future. Anyway... you have been eyeing the position of president for a long time, right? Isn't this your goal?" Yorkshire stopped beating around the bush and spoke bluntly.

"Finally figured it out?"

Long did not deny it.

His plan had been figured out by Jinfulis and Pariston early on, but the Twelve Earthly Branches were still kept in the dark. After so long, Yorkshire, as the think tank of the Twelve Earthly Branches, finally figured out what he wanted. From this point of view, this woman still has an excellent mind.

But compared with the other two, he is far inferior.

Yorkshire used the candidate for the guild president to let Oboro take action because she believed that as long as Netero was alive, Oboro would never have a chance.

She had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

"It's understandable that Pariston didn't intervene and just watched the fun from the sidelines. If the president is really in danger, Jinfulis will also show up. In other words, you don't have to worry about it at all. Have you ever thought about... the president has been arrested, but V5 has not made any statement and let the association handle it on its own. Why is that?" Long reminded.

"Long, if you don't return to the association immediately, we will jointly write a letter to the higher-ups to apply for an exception to cancel your membership in the association!" Yorkshire threatened.

"Do you think... it's useful?"

Long laughed out loud.

"..."

Yorkshire.

"Alas... Pariston was just teasing you by asking you to come to me."

"Really...since you are so pitiful, I will be kind enough to help you this time."

Long sighed softly, then hung up the phone.

Then, he put away his telepathic ability, and the mist in the forest below suddenly dissipated.

The venue was restored to view.

"team leader?"

Seeing this, several people who were still training in combat quickly approached Long's location, not knowing what had happened.

Long jumped down from the tree and clapped his hands, "I need to go back to the association."

"For that?"

Men Qi thought of something.

They had also heard about the recent unrest within the association... which had caused quite a stir. After all, Netero had been captured, and the other party had sent one of their men to break into the association's headquarters, where he was burned to death in public, and a video of Netero being imprisoned was played.

Although the outside world doesn't know about this yet... the enemy's declaration of war makes the hunters feel uneasy.

Oboro had told them not to worry, that this was just an incident and would soon be over... Netero would also return safely.

Now it seems...it is estimated that the Twelve Earth Branches have appeared.

"Didn't the captain say we shouldn't worry about it?" Anthony glanced at Long.

"Netero is restricted by some kind of oath and restriction... but this ability comes at the cost of self-sacrifice, in other words, there is a time limit. If the truth about the 'shadow' is not revealed by the association when the time is up, the other party might really kill him. And V5, the real perpetrator, is just watching the show... watching the old party of the era vent their anger on the Hunter Association. They really don't take the Hunter Association seriously at all..."

Long rubbed his hair. "The old man can't die yet. Although the probability is very small, it is not absolute... If he really gets into trouble, it will be troublesome if he and the ant king don't have one-on-one in the big scene later..."

Long has already told his teammates some of the situations he had predicted.

Of course, this is said in the name of conjecture.

Men Qi and his companions were surprised at his knowledge of Chimera Ants, but they believed him more.

So many incredible things have happened to Long that everyone has gotten used to it.

"Even if you don't have to show up, the association can handle it, right?"

Men Qi raised his eyebrows, "Is this organization called Shadow very powerful?"

"They are just so-so, all rotten fish and shrimp, except for that Jed... The association can definitely handle it, but Pariston obviously did something to make the Twelve Earthly Branches feel helpless in the association. That person likes to do this kind of disgusting things... It seems that he is very happy to see others get anxious and angry."

Long curled his lips, "That's all... I'll go first and be back soon."

After saying this, Long waved his hand and walked away.

"Is there something wrong with that vice president's brain? He is also a member of the association. He watched the association fall into danger and did something that was detrimental to the association...what benefit does he get?" Anthony spat.

"Mice just like to hide in the dark and gnaw on things everywhere..."

Fant smoked a cigarette and said lightly.

……

Long agreed to come forward.

It’s not for Yorkshire… Of course, there’s also a bit of favor involved.

Originally, in his plan when he first joined the association, Oboro was not sure whether the characters from the movie would appear... but he later learned about Netero's deeds in promoting the Hunter Association, and did glimpse some clues.

Some of it was obviously erased.

It was during the early days of the Association’s rise… Now there are traces, Netero’s famous achievements all happened later.

You know, if the Hunter Association wants to reach a certain status, it must be recognized at the international level, which means... the rise of the Hunter Association cannot bypass the governments of various countries. In this way, the Association must also deal with politicians... and once it involves the government, and asks countries to issue documents to promote and recognize the hunter system, it will definitely be hindered.

The rise of the Hunter Association is inseparable from V5's care and backdoor relations. This is one of the reasons why the Hunter Association now obeys V5's instructions... If Netero wants to have a certain social status and obtain various benefits and rights for hunters, he must bow his head.

If you want to promote something, even with the endorsement of v5, it is far from as easy as you think.

Judging from the fact that the Fields family controls the governments of various countries, many countries... are not under the actual control of V5.

In the early days, faced with some international obstacles, V5 was unable to solve them openly... so the organization "Shadow" came into being.

When Long realized this, he guessed that Ying might appear...

At first, he wanted to recruit Jade and others. After all, these people hated V5 very much, so he could use them as a trump card or a surprise weapon. But now, Long no longer had this idea, because the bloodline of Jade and the descendants of those "shadows" was of no use...

In terms of ability, except for Jed who is relatively outstanding, the rest are just trash.

Moreover, they have too few people... Especially after the Fields family unified the world's gangs, Long realized that Jed and others might not be as dangerous as the Brigade, let alone shaking up a country... They just look intimidating.

Long now has a more thorough understanding of the true power of this world.

Humans...are social creatures, and what is terrifying...is the country.

It is a huge ethnic organization.

Compared with this, the reappearance of the 'shadow' is just a faint flame that has been rekindled.

However, Oboro is more interested in the energy of the Grudge... Plus, if he gets rid of these people, he can also collect some souls and black mist, which can be regarded as making some extra money.

That woman in Yorkshire is indeed quite pitiful.

……

The association's headquarters building.

In the conference room, Yorkshire put down his phone, clenched his fists, and looked unwilling.

She was undoubtedly humiliated by the phone call just now, which made her face blush and feel powerless.

Because what Long said makes sense...

She really didn't want to contact Long...unless it was absolutely necessary.

In other words, whether it was Long or Pariston, from the beginning, Yorkshire planned to handle this matter with her own ability, but she didn't expect that she would be restricted everywhere and couldn't do anything. Many people in the association used various reasons to make it impossible for her to make arrangements and issue orders without finding loopholes.

The number of people she could mobilize was very small.

Yorkshire knew that it was Pariston who was behind this...she had no choice but to call Long.

Compared with her personal feelings, she cares more about the association.

We can't go on like this, otherwise the impact will get bigger and bigger.

Another point is that she was really worried about the president's danger. Even though Long said that nothing would happen, she was still worried.

In the end...I still have to rely on Long.

"How's that? Did he agree?"
