Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

With Diya carrying Poxon, who had already fainted from the impact of the landing, they suddenly burst into the crowd from a direction no one had ever expected—the rear.

"Mr. Dia!"

Upon reaching the crowd, Diya ignored Mumu Ze's excited exclamation and instead spoke seriously to Drogbada:

"Let's go first, things are about to get really troublesome here."

Then he turned to Mumu Ze and said:

"Your Highness, please return to the hotel immediately."

Upon hearing this, Mumu Ze sensed the seriousness in Diya's words, so he suppressed his emotions and obediently followed the guards to run quickly towards the caravan.

However, along the way, she would occasionally steal glances at the unconscious Pokson, who was being held by Dia:

'What happened inside... I'll ask Miss Poxen about it later...'

'By the way, why is Mr. Dia carrying her around like this? Shouldn't someone else be able to carry her now that we're here...'

At this moment, Dia hurriedly jumped into the convoy and told the driver to start driving. She didn't care about those minor details. She tossed Poxen to the back seat and sat in the passenger seat herself.

His statement that things would get complicated here later wasn't unfounded.

Just now, when he jumped out of the window, he took advantage of the altitude and quickly spotted more than one ability user with obvious Nen fluctuations.

Fortunately, he immediately used the [Absolute] skill to reduce his presence and successfully disappeared into the night and dust while the building collapsed and attracted the crowd's attention.

But those Nen users are undoubtedly a problem; getting entangled with them could eventually escalate into a bloody conflict.

Although Dia's ripple reserves have recovered somewhat over time, it would be unwise to engage in another group battle in an open environment.

'It's a pity that the [Atmosphere Creator]'s abilities haven't been fully developed yet, otherwise…'

As Diya watched the scenery outside the window move backward, she thought to herself casually.

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

The news of the collapse of the Southpis auction house ignited the entire Yorkshire syndicate.

As a long-established auction house, Southpix is ​​arguably one of Yorkshire's largest auction houses.

Southpis auctions have hundreds of lots every day, and almost everyone qualified to enter the auction is either very wealthy or very powerful.

Now, its venue has been completely reduced to ruins.

Hundreds of precious auction items were buried directly in the ruins, and countless others were damaged in the process.

Most importantly, all of the hundreds of distinguished guests who participated in the auction were dead…

The bodies of those wealthy and powerful guests had vanished without a trace, leaving only a massive amount of blood mixed with sand and gravel, and white bones and hair visible everywhere.

As expected, the sensational effect gradually spread from Youkexin to surrounding cities and even the entire country.

Meanwhile, Diya, who may be the only one who knows the truth, has already caught up with the airship arranged by the Kakin Empire overnight and is flying back to the Kakin Empire.

After a full night's rest, he had finally recovered most of the energy he had expended in yesterday's battle.

Now he sat quietly in the single room that Mu Muze had specially arranged for him, and began to sort out the details of this incident.

He already knew most of what Qi Peixin and Kantigala were about, but he had no way of knowing anything more.

With the person dead, all is over, and he had no desire to investigate further.

But Dia couldn't pretend that the few mercenaries who came after him hadn't happened.

Right now, only two ordinary mercenaries with Nen abilities and their rookie team members are coming for him. What about later?

What if those mercenary groups of dozens of people fighting on the battlefield also attacked him?

Although the possibility was small, Dia didn't want to take any chances.

Therefore, the best approach is to directly find the person who placed the bounty on him.

Eliminate it at its source!

This is why Dia went to search the bodies of the two mercenaries at the end.

After the body search was completed, Dia found some jenny on them, a large-caliber pistol with some bullets, and two other things that he considered most valuable—

Two cell phones that looked very durable, and a square box about the size of a palm.

The box was encased in a strange metal, piece by piece, like a small shipping container.

The box was completely assembled from the seams on the surface, and there was no switch to open it. Diya felt that this box... looked familiar?

Chapter Forty-Six: Kakin! × Kakin!

Looking at the familiar shape, Diya had a guess about how to open the box.

But there's no rush. Let's check those two phones first and see where this box came from.

If there are any cursed items inside that cannot be exposed to light, it would be very troublesome for him to open them rashly.

With that in mind, he began to turn on both phones one by one and check their chat and text message content.

"...Independent mercenary groups...civil war..."

“...Lakshya...Maror and...Raka Buzir…”

"...a stone..."

"..."

Snapped!

Diya slammed the flip phone shut, her expression turning grim.

'Raka... Buzier?'

Indeed, the phone clearly displayed the name of the bounty hunter—Raka Buzir, a name he vaguely remembered.

In that secret court hearing, the judge convicted Officer Sanley of tax evasion. During the cross-examination, the person with that name played cards with Sanley and ultimately lost to him 1,700 jenny.

Judge Bell mentioned at the time that his identity should be... a foreign trade merchant?

With whom are we doing foreign trade?

Judging from the current situation, it should be related to foreign trade with Kakin.

Because in the chat logs, when Lakshya asked about the other party's origins, Laka Buzir explicitly mentioned that he was a Kakin merchant living in the Republic of Minbo.

There wasn't much information left on their phones, just a few messages exchanging identities and discussing payment.

It must have been after Qiduo hired a hacker to hack into Laka's account on the mercenary website that he contacted a mercenary team that was interested in him.

However, since he could no longer post bounties on the website, he had no choice but to contact each other via private phone numbers. In order to gain each other's trust, they exchanged their real information.

These details are not important; what matters are the subtle pieces of information revealed in their chat logs:

"...Well, it doesn't matter whether it's real names or not, if you fail..."

"...I've invested all my savings...if it doesn't work..."

It's clear that Rakka Buzir's decision to offer a bounty on him wasn't his own; it's more like someone was holding a gun to his head.

The pressure had even reached the point where he was willing to give up and not care about anything anymore!

Who on earth is trying to kill me?!

Diya half-closed her eyes, gazing intently at the phone.

These clues alone are far from enough to identify the person behind it all, and based on the deadline mentioned in the left-behind message, they should have received news of the assassination's failure by now...

"Doo-oo-oo-oo—"

It was Diya's Beetle phone. He picked it up casually and answered. A familiar voice came through:

"Hey, Dia, something seems to have happened in Yorknew City. Are you alright?"

"Teacher Qiduo, I'm fine. I just happen to have something I'd like to ask you for help with. Last night..."

Qiduo really came to the rescue, and Diya quickly seized the opportunity to tell her what happened last night and what she had just discovered on her phone.

To everyone's surprise, after listening, Qi Duo said in a strange voice:

"What a coincidence... about that Laka Buzir you mentioned..."

"He just committed suicide."

Meanwhile, far away in the Republic of Mingbo, Qiduo changed into a smart and capable outfit, tied up her long green hair, and was talking to Dia on her cell phone.

She was in an abandoned building, next to a corpse, with a pistol lying on the ground beside it, the muzzle still smoking.

The fallen corpse still bore the marks of fear and a strange sense of relief on its face.

Qiduo briefly recounted her actions from the moment she discovered the bounty, from commissioning a hacker hunter to find the target's true identity to locating their position, and finally, directly confronting them.

The most troublesome part of this process was locating the other party's position, which took a long time. If that person hadn't been communicating with the outside world, it probably would have taken even longer.

It was precisely because she was so busy finding the guy who offered the bounty that she didn't notice the news about Youkexin last night.

She finally found the location where the other party was hiding, but just after she had dealt with their security, she heard a gunshot from upstairs.

When she arrived at the scene, the man had already committed suicide by shooting himself.

Helpless, Qiduo could only hope that the hacker hunter could find clues on the computer left behind by the other party.

Surprisingly, it actually happened; the person hadn't wiped their computer before committing suicide.

'He probably left these clues with some kind of vengeful intent before he committed suicide.'

Qi Duo narrowed her eyes and saw the secret records pulled up by the hacker hunter, which mentioned phrases like "If you fail, just commit suicide" more than once.

The text uses some kind of military encrypted script, but it is a very common type and not the kind used exclusively for classified documents.

Despite being incredibly learned, Kido, though far less knowledgeable in military science than his colleague from the Zodiac and a military expert, Poteber, could still recognize the script.

With her still amazing reading speed and ability to summarize and organize, Qiduo quickly organized all the important points.

It was at this moment that Kito was about to take out her phone to tell Dia about her discovery when she saw the big news that happened in Yorkshire the day before.

Qi Duo, who knew the location of Dia's mission perfectly, was startled and quickly made the call.

"In short, there is not much usable information in the entire document. First of all, the person named Laka Buzir is not using his real name, and his true identity is unknown."
