From Hunter x Hunter to Supreme Will

In the office at the headquarters, Bean Face Man took out a document from the fax machine and placed it on Netero's desk.

The president stood in front of the French window, looking at the city scene, lost in thought.

After hearing the voice, he turned around, sat down, and picked up the information.

The paper was filled with information about the Chimera Ants... such as some of the ants' habits and characteristics, including the fusion of genes from other creatures, class sequences, etc., and naturally Catwoman was also mentioned.

"Kate..."

Netero asked as he watched.

"Killua said... that catwoman's strength was terrifying. In order to cover his and Gon's escape, Kate chose to stay behind... Now her life or death is unknown, and she cannot be contacted." The bean-faced man recounted the story truthfully.

Then, put the file down.

Netero took out his cell phone and dialed the number.

Then, he contacted Killua.

Ask some questions in person.

"You mean... Kate didn't even have time to react and was seriously injured after just one encounter?" After listening to Killua's description, Netero narrowed his eyes and confirmed with a smile.

"Yes."

Killua responded.

Even though the situation was dangerous, Netero still felt fear from Killua's frightened tone.

"Thank you for your hard work."

The president comforted.

"So who do you think is stronger, me or that ant? Judge based on your intuition..."

"Is that so? Wow... That's really exciting."

Obviously, Killua gave the answer.

"You guys should leave first and wait for the association's next arrangements."

After chatting for a while, Netero hung up the phone.

Then, he looked at the bean-faced man and said, "Call them all here... everyone."

"Yes."

The twelve Earthly Branches!

……

At noon, in the conference room.

The twelve Earthly Branches gathered together, and even Jinfulis and Pariston showed up.

Everyone has heard about Ant, and Kate...

Kate is very likely dead now... But Jin, as a teacher, was unmoved. Not long after entering the room, he fell asleep sitting on the chair.

This scene made several thoughtful women such as Yorkshire, Crook and Gailu very unhappy.

They didn't see any worry or sadness on this man's face...it was so, so bad!

No wonder it's so annoying!

Soon, the president arrived late.

It was said to be a discussion, but in fact he was the one who gave the order unilaterally and made arrangements regarding the Chimera Ants.

Jinfulis still seemed a little absent-minded, and Pariston, who was sitting opposite him, also had a smile on his face.

Neither of them came today to discuss the matter of ants.

Because... they had already expected what would happen today.

Jin looked at Pariston with a calm look...

Drop drop…

In less than ten minutes, Netero had arranged everything. Just as the meeting was over and everyone was about to get up and leave, the old man's cell phone suddenly rang.

Jinfulis's expression changed.

Pariston also focused his attention on the president...

At the same time, a feeling rang in their hearts: Here it comes!

"Is that Oboro?" Netero answered the phone and laughed in public.

"Wow...it seems you know everything..."

Everyone looked at the president chatting with Long, and each had different thoughts in their mind.

Long...hasn't appeared in the association for a long time.

Including Men Qi and others.

The association currently has no idea what Long and his team are doing... and where they are.

But at this sensitive time, the call came...

"Have you been to NGL?"

After a while, Netero raised his eyebrows, and the expressions of the Twelve Earthly Branches also changed.

Then, the president turned on the speakerphone of his cell phone so that everyone could hear Long's voice.

It seems... it was Long who asked him to do this.

"I'm at ngl now!"

These words from Long made Pariston and Jinfulis straighten up at the same time.

"I have a more detailed document on the Chimera Ants, and I have sent someone to deliver it... We must be cautious in defeating the Chimera Ants. If you, the President, are to personally take charge, I hope that all members who are to carry out the mission, including you, will receive targeted training first... because these ants are more dangerous than you think. I heard about Kate's situation... The ant he encountered was a member of the King's direct guard. To be honest, even with your current condition, the chances of winning in a head-on fight... are not great."

"..."

The room was silent.

Silence fell.

Pariston seemed calm on the surface, but in fact his heart was in turmoil.

Hazy in ngl?

impossible!

The greater possibility is that he is sneaking to a certain sea area in the Dark Continent. Could it be that I guessed wrong?

Pariston didn't care about the matter of ngl and the ants... All his energy has been transferred to the search for evidence of Long's smuggling. He has found out that the Fields family has a private waters in the Republic of Batocchia, which is the location of the Hero Island. Not long ago, there was indeed a ferry, in the name of a company under the Fields family, that passed through the blockade of the Ferry Office and returned within a certain period of time in the name of exploiting offshore resources.

He had already obtained the list of people on the ship, including Menqi, Gabwich and the other two. Although they were disguised and used pseudonyms... Menqi had previously gone to Kakin to give Kate information about the Chimera Ants, but it was clearly a smokescreen.

The actual starting point of their smuggling route... is the Republic of Batocchia.

Moreover, with the current power and influence of the Fields family, they can force V5 to make some concessions, that is, the exploitation of offshore resources... It's just that the ship went and came back, and the number of crew members might be the same, and the names and appearances might be the same, but it is not clear whether they are the same people.

It is entirely possible to do this with Long's ability.

but why?

Why did he admit in person that he was in NGL at this very moment?

"He... said that to everyone to disguise the fact that he had gone to the Dark Continent and delay time... There can be no signal outside the scope of the human world... He hopes that the association will focus on the ants. Calling at this time will make people believe that he is near NGL. In fact... it is very likely that it is some kind of ability, or... it is not him!" Pariston said secretly.

"I'm still confused... There were only three people, Men Qi, on the boat, which made me think it was a fake, but it was actually true..."

There is a high probability that Kate is truly... dead!

After hearing Long's words, an idea suddenly popped up in Jin Fuli's mind.

The face that originally had no emotion finally had a hint of...heaviness.

The murderer who killed Kate was the ant...

But the person who blew away Kate's hope of survival might be Long!

Jin…guessed it.

Although... not sure.

Because he didn't know the limitations and specific effects of Long's soul connection ability...

Of course, Jin is not to blame, because the main cause of Kate's death was ants.

However, Kate's soul is likely to...

Before coming here, Jin had already read the information about the Chimera Ants...

He noticed something.

Since human genes have been integrated, judging from the behavior of the ants, some things are also added... and cannot be gotten rid of.

There is a clue that has emerged...

soul!

The host's regret that already exists in the genetic cells...a kind of human consciousness.

Chapter 216 Declaration of War

"Impossible! How come you are in NGL? If you were there, why didn't you report to the association?" Without waiting for Netero to respond, Yorkshire stood up and questioned.

"Is it Yorkshire?"

On the phone, Long smiled softly, "Sorry, I just got here."

"You just arrived? If that's the case, how could the information you have about ants be more detailed than what the association has?"

Yorkshire sensed that something was wrong, smelled something.

How to explain...?

If he had known about the Chimera Ants earlier, it would have been reasonable for him to tell the association before Kate did... That way, unnecessary casualties could have been avoided.
