Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Miss Poker turned around abruptly, raising her arm as if to pinch him!

Suddenly a bell rang—

Beep beep.

The two turned their heads and saw the voice coming from the security booth.

Pokson seemed to remember something, his expression turned serious, and he walked toward the security booth, pinching Dia as he passed by.

"Hello, this is Poxon."

She calmly replied:

"Hmm...okay...he's already here, just arrived...he brought back two corpses, so I was just helping him deal with the bodies...hmm, I understand."

After hanging up the phone, Poxon turned around and said seriously:

"It was the twelfth prince who came to ask me about the situation. Also, an unexpected phone call came in."

Dia frowned:

Whose call was it?

"Your Highness, Benjamin."

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

Dark basement.

First Prince Benjamin calmly looked into the microphone in front of him, waiting for the call to be returned.

"Were the powers of Ditiba and Lake Liko not successfully recovered?"

"Barusamirko, the captain of the eldest prince's private army, asked."

"No."

Benjamin shook his head, looking at the unchanged number of stars in his hand.

"Isn't that disloyal? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be."

Barusamirkodo.

"I'm afraid that in addition to their loyalty to me, they also have loyalty to each other."

Benjamin said, not at all surprised.

"We must avoid this situation in the future."

Barusamirko calmly said:

"Their capabilities are very useful, but this time we neither recovered the items nor achieved any results, and we suffered heavy losses."

"You can't say that. A husband's loyalty to his wife and a sister's loyalty to her brother are the right values, and we shouldn't criticize them for that."

Benjamin asked:

“Give their parents sufficient compensation, and if they wish to raise more children, give their offspring priority admission to the King’s Military Academy.”

Barusamirko nodded and took out a notebook to write it down.

Ring ring—

The phone on the table rang. The two men exchanged a glance, and Benjamin picked up the receiver.

"Hey?"

"It's me, Diya. His Highness the Crown Prince contacted Mumu Ze so late at night. Is there something he needs to discuss with me?"

Dia held the microphone and asked calmly.

Beside him, Mu Muze sat upright, watching intently as Dia negotiated with Prince Benjamin.

Pokson said he was going to change his clothes, so he's not here right now.

Of course, it's also possible that she's too afraid to look at Mu Muze right now...

Benjamin's voice came through the microphone:

“You should know what you’ve done. The bodies of Titibah and Lake Likko should be with you. Don’t force me to report your attack on my private army to the royal army.”

Dia completely ignored his threats and said:

“His Highness the Crown Prince’s private troops attacked me outside the city. This was witnessed by more than one person. Even if you take a lie detector test at the judicial bureau, this matter cannot be reversed. You should think about how to explain [that thing] to the royal army.”

After saying that, Diya pretended to hang up the phone.

"Wait, Dia, calm down. Let's not make things worse and let the other princes benefit. I know you're angry because of the misunderstanding and the attack, and we will show our sincerity in that regard."

Barusamirko's voice came through urgently; he had taken over the phone from Benjamin and was now in full charge of the negotiations.

"I don't think this is a lose-lose situation. From my perspective, it seems like only you guys will get hurt."

"That's not how it is, Dia. You're a professional, you should know what 'mutual destruction' means. You can report it to the King's Army, and so can we."

Dia frowned, wondering what the person on the other end of the phone was saying:

What can you report?

"Don't you know? Let me remind you, there are people within the Royal Army who have been watching you since the incident at the Royal Palace a few days ago."

“I know, but without evidence, the royal army will not target any prince’s forces.”

Diya was undoubtedly considered to be within Mumuze's sphere of influence, and the King's army's unprovoked attack on him would only break the unspoken rules of royal succession.

Barusamirko calmly stated:

"The King's Army conducted an ability analysis of the invaders that night, and one of the findings was that they believed the invaders were very likely to possess the blade of a [divine artifact]. Dia, if I remember correctly, you have a blade like that in your abilities, right?"

That was on the day that Dia was caught up in the power struggle between the Judiciary and the eldest prince, when Shulikov saw the [scalpel] that Dia had materialized.

"If I'm not mistaken, that scalpel should have some special ability that makes its sharpness comparable to a [divine artifact]. Although this suspicion is not enough to convict you, it is enough to get the King's army to summon you. When you face a professional [lie detector], can you keep your secret?"

'trouble……'

Dia stroked his chin, thinking to himself:

'These people really got lucky.'

The problem is that he doesn't know how sharp the [divine weapon] is.

In any case, the sharpness of the [surgical scalpel] he has materialized now surpasses that of the [divine long dagger] that Xiangpu gave him.

"You should understand now, Dia. You're a smart woman, and we don't expect you to swallow this loss."

Barusamirko wisely refrained from making unrealistic demands, stating instead:

"I just hope you can give us five hours to prepare, and there will be sufficient compensation afterwards."

As he spoke, Benjamin's voice suddenly broke in:

"We swear on the honor of the royal family that we will not go back on our word regarding this matter."

Dia knew that Benjamin valued royal honor above all else, so for him to say something like that meant he was genuinely serious.

But why is this matter so important to them?

Chapter 371 Cognitive Distortion × Blackbola Virus

obviously.

What truly made Benjamin hesitate was not the attack on Dia by his private soldiers.

It was the [unknown virus] released by that private soldier before he died.

It was only under the illumination of the shadowless lamp that Dia was able to discover those tiny microorganisms.

The Kakin Empire maintains extremely strict control over biological weapons, extending this control to the military, medical departments, health commissions, and other national agencies…

Diya organized her thoughts:

Ultimately, this stems from Kakin's outdated medical standards and fear of creating uncontrollable biological weapons. If Benjamin were discovered abusing the virus in Kakin's capital, it wouldn't just be a matter of misappropriating national resources, but a threat to national security.

So this is what Benjamin really fears!

"Ha, five hours? Is there enough time to pack up?"

Diya chuckled and asked a question out of the blue.

"..."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the microphone.

Upon hearing Dia's words, Barusamirko knew that Dia had already guessed the truth about the [virus]. He thought to himself:

'Such keen insight…'

After a long pause, he calmly replied:

“That’s none of your concern, Mr. Dia.”

"In short, as long as you report this to the King's Army five hours later, we can guarantee that no one will suspect you about what happened that night."

Dia, of course, would not admit that he was involved in the matter. He said:

"The people who invaded the palace that day had nothing to do with me."

Mumu Ze couldn't help but glance at Diya.

Seeing his righteous indignation and serious expression, as if he were stating something perfectly reasonable, she couldn't help but think to herself:

'That sounds so convincing, is he really that good at lying...?'

"However, it's good to have less trouble."

Dia suddenly changed the subject, her voice turning somber:

"But I'm thinking, if I really have the ability to force my way into the royal palace, why don't I just kill you all? That would save me the trouble of reporting to the royal army."

“I’m sorry, Mr. Dia, we had already left New Delhi before making this call, so there’s no need for such jokes.”

Barusamirko was not intimidated by Dia at all.

To prevent hackers from intercepting their calls, the eldest prince's communications unit has been monitoring the current calls closely.
