Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Seeing that Qiduo had regained her composure, Dia continued:

"However, I won't hold back then. If you let your guard down, Teacher Qiduo, I won't be lenient."

Based on his understanding of Qiduo, if he didn't add such a comment, she would definitely accuse him of not taking the election seriously.

Upon hearing this, Qi Duo's lips curled into a smile, and she said:

"I should be the one saying that..."

"You heard what I said to [Zi] just now, didn't you?"

Dia nodded and said:

"Actually, I won't let you help me, teacher."

"I know you won't..."

When Dia admitted that she had heard it, Qi Duo's heart finally died. Why did she have to say that? It was too shameful.

Helpless, she could only make up an excuse on the spot:

"I wasn't admitting defeat when I said that. If you dare to think that way, I'll beat you to a pulp, you believe me?"

As she spoke, Qiduo waved her fist and glared at him.

What could Dia say? She could only nod in agreement.

Seeing this, Qi Duo nodded in satisfaction. At the same time, she suddenly noticed the throng of heads not far away, and her heart skipped a beat:

'Oh no, the noise was too loud and attracted everyone.'

Seeing that the situation was not good, Qiduo decisively said:

"I'll be going now. See you in five days. Remember to choose a reliable partner, and especially avoid that slovenly idiot next to you."

gold:? ? ?

'She's been caught in the crossfire even though she's not doing anything; it seems she's really bothered by being eavesdropped on.'

Feeling helpless after being scolded again, Jin could only secretly resolve never to do such a thing again.

Chapter 168 The Biggest Victim × Mother-in-Law

"Don't worry, I wouldn't dare keep someone with such terrifyingly sharp observation skills around."

Diya silently added her own thought to herself.

Traveling with someone like Kim means being prepared for all your secrets to be exposed, but he just doesn't seem to have that thought.

"Oh, right."

Qiduo hadn't walked far when she suddenly remembered something, turned to Dia and added:

“Two days ago, my mother called and asked you to go to Pati. She said she has something to ask you. You can go after you finish what you need to do here.”

After saying that, she ignored Jin's increasingly strange gaze and turned to leave decisively.

"Did Mrs. Yorkshire want to see me?"

Dia stroked his chin, lost in thought.

Qiduo just mentioned "commissioning" this matter, and given her precise word choice, it's highly unlikely to be a slip of the tongue.

That means that what Mrs. Yorkshire actually wanted to see was Dia, who was actually a hunter.

The problem is, why not just approach Kido directly for a hunter's commission? After all, Mrs. Yorkshire is a professional hunter herself.

What could possibly make Lady Yorkshire prefer to entrust the task to him rather than to the three-star hunter, Qiduo?

"My advice is that you should focus on how to handle this election first, and stop thinking about that matter."

Jin, who had been watching from the sidelines for a long time, finally had a chance to speak.

When he saw Dia's expression, he knew that the kid was definitely thinking about what Qiduo had said before he left.

However, Dia was still too inexperienced. If it were King himself in this situation, he wouldn't even think for a second.

Who knows if this is a trap set by competitors to disrupt each other's plans?

Dia shook her head upon hearing this and said:

"What's there to think about in an election? We don't even know the specifics."

"With your attitude, you'd have a hard time even defeating your teacher, let alone Pariston."

Jin said speechlessly.

They went through a lot of trouble to get the chance to compete with those three people, but now they're acting like they're just giving up.

Upon hearing this, Diya smiled and said:

“I never said I was going to defeat Qiduo, Mr. Jin, you’re mistaken.”

"You didn't say it, but in this game between you two, there can only be one winner, and the other will naturally be the loser."

Jin said firmly, his expression becoming deliberately serious.

"Our game? What advice does Mr. Jin have for us?"

"Dia asked in confusion."

He should have kept quiet until he asked, because Jin's face instantly broke into a wicked grin, as if he had been waiting for him to say those words.

Suddenly, he reached out and patted Dia on the shoulder, seemingly casually gesturing towards the crowd outside the corridor, and said loudly:

"Because love is just a game, kid!"

His words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly startling a group of onlookers.

Dia: What is this guy saying? .jpg

Dia, his eyes wide, took a long time to react. Hesitantly pushed away the golden hand hanging on his shoulder and said:

"I'm sorry, although you said that..."

Immediately afterward, a glint flashed in Dia's eyes, and she suddenly spoke loudly and rapidly:

"I'm not interested in baby-faced older men, Mr. Kim, you should look for someone else!"

After saying that, Dia used all her skills in an instant, her figure flashed and disappeared from the spot in a blur.

Jin reacted incredibly quickly. The moment Dia ran out, he realized what she was doing and immediately knew something was wrong. He chased after Dia without hesitation.

'This brat is trying to trick me; I can't let him get away. I have to make him clear his name!'

Jin was much faster than Dia, and even though Dia had a significant head start, Jin was still visibly closing in!

The two moved with lightning speed, quickly reaching a corner. Without hesitation, Dia turned and disappeared from Jin's sight.

'It's no use, you can't escape!'

It was just a corner, not enough to create any distance. Jin didn't even think about releasing [Circle], and simply followed the turn.

'what? '

What came into his view was an empty corridor.

Dia vanished into thin air.

Just as Jin was about to search more carefully, some rustling sounds came from afar—

"Have you heard? That Gold Freecss of the Zodiac signs turns out to have a different orientation..."

"Yeah, yeah, and they even did a public confession. Wasn't the one being confessed to Mr. Dia...?"

"He even got rejected! It's hilarious! He didn't give up and kept chasing after her even after being rejected..."

Cold sweat broke out on Jin's forehead.

'Okay, I'll never come here again!'

Realizing he had been tricked, Jin immediately decided to flee with the train overnight.

The moment the word "train" appeared in Jin Naobao's mind, he suddenly realized what he had forgotten before—

'The airship is already late...'

Silence is the essence of Kim Freecss today.

Thus, the biggest victim of this rare pre-election meeting for vice president has emerged.

------------

Ochima Federation, Special Council for Civil Affairs.

A young civil servant is methodically organizing documents.

As its name suggests, this Special Council for Civil Affairs is a department specifically for handling special civil affairs incidents.

And this department has an astonishing five civil servants plus the only minister (there are no deputy ministers)!

Their offices are as big as university dormitories!

Well, this is actually a tough job.

Unfortunately, the existence of the Hunter Association almost completely negates the underlying logic of their department's existence.

In this society, no matter what it is, as long as you spend some money to hire a hunter, they can basically get it done perfectly for you.

Therefore, individuals, organizations, and even government departments tend to entrust the Hunter Association with their tasks.

Instead of coming to this office, which is not much bigger than a student dormitory, to have this young official handle matters.

Ring ring—

Suddenly a phone call came in. The young civil servant picked up the phone casually, answered it, and continued working on the documents at hand while listening.

Suddenly, as if he had heard something important, his eyes narrowed, and he spoke into the microphone:

"This matter must be clarified, otherwise it may cause incalculable losses! I want to see the intelligence on my desk within five days."

After saying that, he casually tossed the phone aside and continued organizing the documents.
