Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Instead, they arrested his mother on charges of "disrespect" and cut off her hands and feet.

There are no doctors in the slum, only a witch. Qi Peixin's father hopes the witch can save his only wife.

Then the witch bled her all night, and Qi Peixin watched as his mother gradually turned into a cold corpse.

The dim candlelight that night continued to torment the seventy-year-old Qi Peixin like a nightmare, like a strong leather whip soaked in salt water, lashing his face again and again.

There is no hell in the slums; living there is hell.

The poor, tanned black by the sun, desperately ate the garbage left behind by the nobles, desperately reproduced, and desperately defecated.

Like catfish in the mud, they eat whatever is available, mate when they are full, and then drag the whole swamp down until there is nowhere left to stand.

But there was no other way, because outside the quagmire was the territory of "people"...

Qi Peixin was in his thirties, or maybe his forties; he couldn't remember.

That day was a bitterly cold winter. Seven of his thirteen uncles froze to death, and his father also escaped from hell while shivering.

His hands and feet were numb from the freezing rain, and in a daze, he saw a clean-clothed child chasing a ball to his tent...

The nobleman's blood was hotter than the poorman's, and the hard-won warmth and food helped him get through the most difficult winter.

It also destroyed his chance to continue living a miserable life in hell.

What did he do next?

Qi Peixin's memory was getting worse and worse. He couldn't remember what happened afterward. He only knew that his left eye was completely gone and his right eye had almost lost all its vision.

When he woke up, he discovered that he had gained some kind of magical power.

With this power, he traveled far and wide, killing many people and gaining some followers. Later, he arrived on the continent of Eurubian and settled there, where he was reborn.

But what he could never forget was the Kakin nobles, especially the royal family, who looked down on the crowd from their high and mighty homeland!

'Huh? What's wrong with me?'

Inside the strange fish, Qi Peixin seemed to wake from a dream; he had just been lost in memories again.

As people get older, they tend to endlessly reminisce about the past, much like an old dog that can no longer move always likes to lick its broken leg.

Several days ago, his old friend told him that the twelfth prince of the Kakin royal family had secretly arrived in Yorknew City, where he lived.

He was overjoyed.

In the twilight of his life, he finally had the chance to fulfill his long-held dream and kill one of those blood-drinking monsters.

He made all the necessary preparations, even hiring a true friend of many years to kill the prince.

But his plan failed, everything went smoothly, Carl was killed, and his family business was overthrown by an unknown force in just a few days.

At the end of his life, Qi Peixin, who was born with nothing, once again lost everything.

But he was unwilling to die like this, so he brought his last followers to Southpis for one last gamble!

After infiltrating the building, Qi Peixin had his last old friend, Kantigala, activate his abilities to seal off the entire building.

Kantigara told him that the target was a group of one man and two women, and it was unclear how many Nen users were involved.

But it doesn't matter...

'My "Catfish Rebirth" technique is now activated. The nutrients from these people should be enough to raise about 21 to 30 "Weird Fish"...'

His ability allows him to materialize man-eating, multiplying "grotesque fish," each of which possesses the power to tear apart a Nen user's "Entanglement."

He hid inside a fish and continued searching for lone living people.

'Were those four people security guards here? Oh well, they'll all become food for the [Strange Fish] anyway, and Nen users will get even more nutrients...'

Qi Peixin didn't know what was going on with those people, and he didn't care.

Now all he has to do is wait for the right opportunity, and then kill that prince of Kakin...

The first floor at this time.

In a fit of rage, Lakshya smashed a strange fish that was charging at him. This fish had actually managed to kill another male team member while he was bandaging Marol's wounds!

Thus, this mercenary group, which came to hunt down Dia, lost two members, and its deputy captain was crippled.

This eerie white mist not only blocked his vision, but also helped these strange fish conceal themselves!

'Should I use [Circle]...? No, it consumes too much energy. Including that guy who calls himself Qi Peixin, I still have to fight at least two more enemies...'

Lakshya walked up the stairs leading to the second floor, with Marol behind him, analyzing the current situation in his mind.

Although he was furious, he did not lose his temper. In such a critical moment, it is even more important to remain calm.

"Lak...shouldn't we have accepted this mission...and come all the way here to kill that Dia..."

"I took on the mission last time too... and ended up causing everyone to die... and all I got in the end was a broken rock..."

Maror followed behind Lakshya and suddenly spoke slowly.

"Stop talking nonsense, we haven't lost yet."

Lakshya didn't even turn his head; he knew Maror had relapsed into his old ways.

Once they get into trouble, they regret taking on the task in the first place, and don't even consider the possibility of winning.

There's no guarantee of success for mercenaries when they take on missions; if you're afraid of everything, you might as well go home and open a restaurant.

Marol opened his mouth, but ultimately remained silent.

'Is this fog also Qi Peixin's ability...? No, the difference is too great.'

'Could it be the ability of the person who sealed this building? Possibly, but it's uncertain, and we can't find the ability user's true form...'

Lakshya found the situation increasingly troublesome as he analyzed it. Before the target even appeared, they had been hit by a series of attacks from an enemy with unknown motives.

But it doesn't matter. As long as we can find the opponent's true form, we are confident that we won't lose if we confront him head-on!

Once the thick fog dissipates, Qi Peixin's abilities will be nothing more than a slightly disgusting horde of magical beasts...

"Marol!"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Let's kill everyone here, collect our reward, and then go eat hot pot."

"...Yes! Eat it all, including Mark's and Alice's portions!"

Marol's gaze hardened again as he looked at Lakshya's composed back. He vowed to complete the mission and avenge the two newcomers!

But deep in the thick fog, unseen by them, lies an inconspicuous corner.

The golden phantom slowly disappeared, revealing Dia with deep, dark eyes and a gloomy expression...

'Want some hot pot...? Then let's boil your heads...'

Chapter Thirty-Four: The Prince's Possessiveness × The Belated Sang

Diya silently stood up and waited a moment before signaling to Mumu Ze and Pokson that they could speak.

Just now, when they reached the corner of the stairs, the other person's path overlapped with theirs.

Diya then led the two women around a corner and hid in a tea room on the first floor.

I intended to wait quietly until they left before going to the agreed-upon location to find Drogba.

I never expected to hear such words...

'So they were actually after me? The mercenaries Qiduo mentioned the other day were them, weren't they...?'

Dia's face was gloomy. It was precisely at this time, on the last day, that these inexplicable enemies appeared like a swarm of cockroaches crawling out of a smashed garbage dump.

Behind him, Mumu Ze held Wuwu, looking bewildered. Were those people after Mr. Dia? Were there more than one group of enemies?

Compared to the bewildered Mumu Ze, Pokson was clearly much more experienced.

Even now, neither the chilling sound from the third floor nor the mysterious white creature that bastard pulled out of her hair and could spew mist is something she can understand.

But one thing is certain: she is currently the person on the field who knows the least information...

Even the twelfth prince seems to know at least some things.

And she, Poxon, had only just learned that bastard's real name.

Indeed, it was only belated that Pokson realized that the name "Bai Lianna" was probably a lie.

In other words, that day I not only lost all my savings and my past, but I didn't even get the other person's name...

From now on, let's call him Bastard Dia...

Poxon was on the verge of tears, especially in the current situation.

Obviously, it's impossible to expect the Twelfth Prince to patiently answer her questions, who is just a lowly private soldier. Should she ask that bastard?

She didn't think the other person would be interested in answering.

This raises the question: how did she manage to save her life under these circumstances?

A sense of crisis—Poxon felt a sense of crisis he had never felt before.

'What to do? What to do...'

Miss Poker's brilliant mind was working at an unprecedented speed.

Dia's considerations were not as complicated.

'With both of them with me, we're basically unable to fight... I need to find Dero right away!'

Diya acted decisively, realizing he couldn't linger any longer. He immediately grabbed the two people beside him with both hands, and then hoisted them onto his shoulders!

'Eh? ? ? '

Pokson instinctively struggled, only to find that Dia's arm, which wasn't particularly muscular, was like cast iron, holding her firmly in place.

She turned her head to look, but could only see Dia's back and the floor and walls rushing past.

With a leap, he jumped across walls and floors at incredible speed, crossing several obstacles and dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.

Just as she was shocked by the strength that Dia's seemingly unassuming body possessed, she caught a glimpse of an unfriendly gaze out of the corner of her eye—

It's the twelfth prince!!
