I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

In contrast, Barbimaina appeared much calmer and more composed. She looked at Jingyang and the other two and asked, "Where did you go?"

Since they didn't appear on the Ferris wheel, it's clear that the tomb has another exit.

Jing Yang casually replied, "Oh, Mr. Arantriel was so kind as to refuse that we chatted about the Hunter Association's past. Ah, the past is gone, let's not talk about it anymore."

Although he wasn't lying, something still felt off about what he meant. Menqi muttered to himself.

"Stop complaining, let's hurry up and find our employer, let's go collect our reward!" Jingyang said with a smile. "Xiao Di, let's go!"

"What reward? Your words are so rude..."

"How can something done by a hunter be called a reward..."

Dagon and the others followed Jingyang, Xiaodi, and Menqi, muttering to themselves. Babimaina stood at the back for a moment, then suddenly turned and looked back.

From behind the window at the top of the tower, Arantriel held up a wine glass and raised it to the distance.

Barbima Inna walked away expressionlessly.

……

Arantriel took a sip of wine and gently swirled it in her hand.

Why does Jin believe that if Hugo had actually taken action and unified the six continents, he would have succeeded?

Because Hugo originally planned to use the full power of Kakin to promote Nen abilities, creating an invincible Nen army and an invincible and powerful nation.

Kakin was a great power in itself. Given the military capabilities of the world three or four hundred years ago, if he had successfully popularized Nen throughout the country, he might have actually achieved the great feat of unifying the world.

But at a crucial moment, Hugo himself gave up and destroyed most of the related records, and went almost insane in his later years.

This was also the part that Arantriel couldn't understand the most when she explored the ruins with Jin.

……

"What's so hard to understand?"

Jin, who was only in his early twenties at the time, said nonchalantly, "Because I can't popularize Nen abilities like he did."

"It's that simple?"

Arantre asked this question before Blanchett & Co. was founded.

Jin laughed and said, "It's that simple!"

Arantell asked, puzzled, "But why? Why can't Nen be taught to everyone?"

Jin stared with dead fish eyes, "If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it!"

“Teacher.” Arantriel just looked at him.

Jin avoided answering, gazing at the distant horizon. "The answer is simple, and also boring. So I don't want to say!"

He turned around and looked back, his headscarf fluttering in the sea breeze. "Alan, I think anyone with a similar perspective would easily come up with this boring answer..."

--------

This so-called True Martial King, even Jin is willing to say that if he puts his words into action, he could really unify the six continents.

On the way to the residence of Sloe, the balding young man from Ochima, Jing Yang thought to himself, could it be that the so-called ample preparations that guy made three or four hundred years ago were actually the widespread promotion of Nen abilities?

Chapter 41 What Whitebeard?

"The empty tomb of the True Martial King..."

Sloe touched his balding head, looked through the videos and photos submitted by Jingyang, Menqi, Xiaodi, and Dagao, and asked them some questions in detail.

After exchanging a few quiet words with the advisors accompanying him, Sloe finally asked Jing Yang and the others, "Is there really no way to get in any further?"

“This…” Da Gao and the others hesitated.

Jingyang said, "Only hunters are allowed to enter."

"If you put it that way, I can easily explain myself." Sloe stroked his hair. There are countless strange and bizarre tales in this world; they have always existed, things that only professionals like hunters can access.

“However, at this point, I’m afraid I can’t set the final reward at the highest third tier,” Sloe said apologetically. “Of course, the results look genuine, so doubling the reward to the second tier of 400 million jenny shouldn’t be a problem…”

The final result is that the basic reward of 200 million Jenny can be paid on the spot; the second tier of double reward will be paid after the data is sent back to Okima for review; and the highest reward of 1000 million Jenny is not impossible to negotiate, but this would require these hunters to go back with Sloe. If they have the patience to wait for the result, perhaps they can actually get a result.

Menqi asked, "How long will the review for the second tier take?"

“If things go smoothly, we’ll have results in a day or two,” Sloe laughed. “A ship will be leaving the port at 8 a.m. the day after tomorrow. If we’re lucky, we can transfer the remaining 200 million Jenny to everyone before then.”

After discussing it, Da Gao and the others replied, "Then let's go together. We can't expect the highest reward, but we can wait for the review results together along the way."

Sloe kindly reminded, "Of course I wouldn't refuse to have you hunters traveling with me. However, once the review results are available, we will immediately transfer the money to your accounts."

Speaking of accounts...

Jingyang suddenly remembered that he didn't have a bank account in the Hunter world!

Although the Hunter world seems to have online banking, where you can transfer money anywhere and travel the world without any obstacles with just a mobile phone—the currency is the uniform Jenny!—there is no account, just no account.

Let alone an account, strictly speaking, Jingyang doesn't even have a real identity right now.

His identity seems somewhat similar to that of his only current subordinate, Shizuku from Meteor City—both are undocumented immigrants…

"Can I pay in cash?" Jingyang raised his hand.

Sloe laughed and said, "After all, the amount is not large. Cash, anonymous cards, online transfers are all fine. However, it may not be possible for everyone to pay in cash."

Jingyang nodded and said, "Then transfer my share to Xiaodi's account. Xiaodi?"

"Okay," Xiao Di replied.

Are you guys that close? Not to mention Sloe, even Dago and the others were stunned.

Menqi knew that Xiaodi had already regarded Jingyang as her boss... but I also have an account, don't I?

……

While Oqima was busy with his finances, the conversation naturally turned to the topic of the True Martial King.

The same topic can be discussed with different emphases by different people. Dargo and his group were clearly talking about something different from Arantriel; they didn't seem to care much about the ambitions of the historical True Martial King, but rather were more interested in the legend of the True Martial King's secret treasure.

At this moment, Kang Jae, who had been quietly acting as a bodyguard, spoke up: "What's the big deal? The treasure of the True Dance King becomes popular every few years, but no one has actually found a single genuine piece of it over the years."

Jingyang gave him a strange look and asked, "Mr. Kangzai, are you also interested in the treasure of the True Martial King?"

Kang Zai gave him an even stranger look. "I'm a treasure hunter, of course I'm interested!"

“But, Mr. Kangzai, the rumors circulating this time about the treasure of the True Martial King are a little different.” Sloe leaned back in his chair and smiled contentedly. “Very different.”

Da Gao and the others nodded in agreement.

Kang Jae was completely bewildered. "How is it different?"

"Don't you watch the news on TV?" Menqi asked in surprise. "Even I've heard about it!"

"I've never heard of that before!" Jing Yang thought to himself. "This is the time to send out the magical little droplet..."

Xiao Di asked curiously, "What news is it?"

Sloe chuckled, opened the laptop on the table, typed away for a while, and then turned the screen to face everyone.

Jingyang looked closely and was somewhat surprised.

The news headline prominently featured the words "Sky Arena," "Suicide," "Mental Illness," and "King of True Martial Arts," while the accompanying photo was even more provocative—it was the top of the Sky Arena tower—outdoors! A bald, muscular man, looking dazed, was holding up his phone, seemingly filming a selfie video.

"This is the video he filmed at the time." Sloe opened the iTunes website, found a video, and opened it. The video cover was the same as the picture in the news just now.

The video started playing, and it was indeed a selfie-style video, just like a vlog.

The wind howled, the camera shook, and the bald, burly man stared at the camera, shouting in a way that was both crying and laughing: "The treasure of the True Martial King really exists!!!"

After he finished speaking, the camera shook even more, accompanied by a rapidly falling shot. Finally, with a dull thud, the camera rolled a few times and stopped on the ground. Several distorted images appeared on the screen, and soon blood appeared at the bottom edge of the frame... Amid screams and gasps from all around, the video ended.

Sloe said, "Alpha = Edward, one of the owners of the Sky Arena."

Jingyang glanced at the video's release date: March 3, 1991. That was four years ago.

Da Gao said, "Gallo, who was captured here half a month ago, must have been affected by this incident as well. Unlike him, who only served as the leader for a few days, this Alpha who committed suicide was a true master who had held the position of leader for a long time. That's why people are so eager to see his bizarre suicide and the True Martial King's treasure that he mentioned before his death..."

It's so boring, it makes my skin feel numb...

It was just a casual question, I never expected it to lead to so much...

Jing Yang glared with dead fish eyes and changed the subject, saying, "Speaking of Garo, he's quite a skilled fighter. If we arrest him as a poacher, won't he escape?"

What he really wanted to ask was, how do official agencies deal with these "superpowered criminals" without publicly disclosing information about those with superpowers?

Sloe said easily, "What's so difficult about that? Even if he's as fierce as a beast, a little bit of anesthetic, muscle relaxant, or nerve drug can make him as docile as a kitten..."

Jingyang was speechless.

"Why are you suddenly bringing him up?" Sloe asked.

“Galuo was caught by her.” Jingyang casually pointed at the innocent Menqi.

Menqi also pointed at him, saying, "Don't look at me. He defeated all five members of Garo's gang. I just picked up the pieces."

Well, it didn't seem that surprising! Da Gao and the others looked at Jing Yang, their emotions stable.

"Ah, the money's here." Xiao Di took out her phone and checked.

Sloe concluded, "Then, the ship departs from West Town Port at 8:00 AM the day after tomorrow."

Jingyang gave an OK sign and left with Xiaodi and Menqi.

……

"Please wait a moment." Da Gao caught up with Jing Yang and the other two at the door. "Well, how should I put it? Without you guys, we wouldn't have gotten double the pay, which is really a bit embarrassing. How about this, tonight at a restaurant in Xizhen..."

Jingyang said, "I live in Dongzhen."

“East Town is fine, East Town is fine,” Da Gao quickly replied.

"I appreciate the thought, but I'll skip the meal; I have other things to do," Jingyang said with a smile. "If you really want to thank me, I can ask you a question."

"Excuse me," Da Gao said seriously.

"Where are Kakin's gang?" Jingyang looked around the doorway. "That cauliflower guy was with us when we came out of the amusement park..."
