Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

"I'll risk everything to kill them all."

pat, pat.

Two silent dolls slowly emerged from the previously empty corner of the wall, their pupils gradually turning into pitch black, just like Mu Muze's.

At that moment, a tangible, viscous, ominous aura seemed to rise from the room, violently engulfing everything within!

'Has the prince's power evolved again?'

Pokson was startled and quickly stepped forward to reassure him:

"No, Dia will definitely handle all of this."

But she didn't seem very confident when she said that.

Poxen believed in Dia, but she believed that even if his intrusion into the royal palace was exposed, he could easily escape from Kakin.

But what will happen to Mumu Ze and Pokson after he leaves is hard to say.

“I know he can handle everything.”

Upon hearing Diya's name, the fierceness in Mumu Ze's eyes vanished like a receding tide, and he reverted to his foolish beauty self.

She rested her chin on her hand and said with a troubled expression:

"But if that happens, he'll have to leave Kakin, and then how will we hold the wedding..."

"..."

Poxon narrowed his eyes, watching the prince's expressions change as quickly as turning the pages of a book, and for the first time, a highly disrespectful thought arose in his mind:

'Your Highness, is she...?'

Miss Poker did not mean to insult His Highness.

In normal life, have you ever seen anyone who is frantically trying to kill someone one second and then foolishly thinking about those unrealistic things like getting married the next?

and.

Did you ask for his opinion?

Pokson really wanted to grab Mumu Ze's hair and ask him that question.

But she didn't dare (awkward laugh).

However, Pokson was quite envious of Mumu Ze's personality.

All the bad things and negative emotions can be forgotten as soon as a good thing happens; a natural optimist.

In stark contrast to the pessimistic Poxon.

"Where is Dia?"

It was then that Poxen suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen that guy for several hours.

"He just left, saying he'd come with me tonight, but he needs to find someone to help him pass the lie detector test..."

Bureau of Justice.

Dia followed Caesar into a building modeled after a balance scale.

The building is entirely made of glass, creating light pollution under the sunlight, yet it is also like a series of mirrors, reflecting the appearance of passersby. On the entrance gate, there is a relief of three old men whose names I do not know, with three relief swords hanging above their heads.

Dia looked at the three sharp swords with curiosity in her eyes.

"The law regulates the behavior of people, but the judiciary itself is the one that most needs to be regulated."

Caesar adjusted his glasses and explained casually:

“The law enforcers, legislators, and judges are a unified entity. If no one supervises their actions, the law will become a tool for oppressing the people and a barometer for manipulating people’s hearts.”

"Not to mention the extent of harm that the selfishness and ideological stance of legal professionals themselves can cause to people who trust the system and the judiciary."

Caesar looked up at the sword, then suddenly raised his hand, pointing it straight at him like a knight's lance, and calmly said:

"I will become that sharp sword. Whether I am shattered to pieces or disgraced, at least I will live up to the oath I took when I joined the company—[fairness and justice]."

Is it fair and just...?

Dia seemed to understand why Caesar, despite his young age, was entrusted with such important responsibilities in an institution like the Bureau of Justice.

However, judging from the other party's behavior, Caesar was not a rigid person who blindly followed the rules; on the contrary, he was very persistent in challenging the existing system.

Otherwise, it would be really hard to say what follows.

The two found an empty office and sat down.

"Just say what you have to say. This is an interrogation room for hardened criminals, so there are no surveillance cameras."

Caesar stated it directly.

Dia didn't mince words and went straight to the point:

"Tonight, I'm going to a dinner party where an expert in lie detection might be present. Is there any way to counter him?"

"..."

Caesar's eyes narrowed, and his mind began to race.

The only banquet he could think of tonight was one that King Naspi had decided on the spur of the moment to entertain those foreign experts.

If he remembered correctly, they were a group of hunters who came to coordinate the investigation of the "Invasion of the Royal Palace" incident.

The reason I know about this is because such an investigation should, in principle, be handled by their judicial bureau.

After all, they have the most elite investigators and the most skilled agents, and they are very experienced in dealing with such incidents.

But on the very night they were preparing to intervene, King Nasby personally ordered that the Judiciary not be allowed to participate in the investigation.

Because it involved the King himself, his opinion was placed above existing regulations, resulting in the Judicial Bureau actually being removed from the investigation.

This is a very unreasonable phenomenon.

Then the Kings' poor performance was not unexpected.

Just when the officials in the Justice Bureau thought that they might ultimately have to take action in this matter.

The news from the King's Army was a huge surprise to them—the strategists preferred to hire hunters from the Hunter's Guild rather than let the Justice Bureau get involved.

Many older officials directly denounced the King's Army's staff as "preferring to give to foreign enemies rather than to their own servants."

Only young people like Caesar remained clear-headed and sensed something strange about this illogical situation.

And now, Dia's words have revealed some previously vague details.

After pondering for a while, Caesar asked:

"That matter, was it you?"

"Their investigation was all in the wrong direction."

"Dia said calmly."

In a case involving significant importance, there are people who are not involved in the investigation and bluntly say that the investigators are going in the wrong direction!

Caesar understood.

Just like in a murder case, besides the murderer, who can tell at a glance whether the police have investigated in the right direction?

"...I want to know, what were you doing there?"

Caesar frowned, unable to figure out what Dia was thinking.

With Diya's abilities, as long as she waits for the succession war to begin and wins it, she can enter the palace openly and legitimately.

Why the rush?

Dia said:

"I originally went inside to find something, but instead of finding it, I saw some people who shouldn't be alive."

"Someone who shouldn't still be alive? You're in the palace..."

slam-la-

A strange noise suddenly rang out without any warning.

The two were taken aback, then stood up decisively, their eyes scanning their surroundings warily.

What is that?!

"Does your judicial bureau have a swimming pool?"

Dia asked Caesar hesitantly.

"No, this sound is off, be careful."

Caesar frowned, constantly scanning the enclosed walls around him.

The sudden, eerie sound of the tides put both Dia and Caesar into a state of shock.

Especially Dia, whose rippled radar repeatedly scanned his surroundings, but found no strange signs:

'The ripple sensor isn't reacting at all. Could it be an enemy attack?'

Dia couldn't help but ask:

Have you encountered a similar situation here before?

“I’ve been in the Justice Bureau for eight years and I’ve never heard this voice before.”

Caesar shook his head and calmly said:

"Until just now, I mentioned..."

His voice paused, and he didn't continue speaking.

The two looked at each other and saw disbelief in each other's eyes!

Judging from the timing, the sound of the tide just now was almost perfectly synchronized with Caesar's question about "those who shouldn't still be alive in the palace"!

Could it be that the voice appeared simply because they mentioned the "secrets within the palace"?

"Psychic ability?"

Dia said with a hint of doubt.
