Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

He looks more like a beggar than a bodyguard.

However, although he looked disheveled, Kang Jae knew that he was only slightly injured.

For Kang Jae, who is used to fighting by constantly getting injured and pushing his body to its limits, this injury is really nothing.

This was partly due to his good luck, or perhaps it was intentionally controlled by Dia; none of the most powerful electric orbs hit him at that time.

It was only when the large ball landed and split into countless smaller electric balls that it caused him some trouble.

In fact.

If it weren't for the fact that as soon as they moved their bodies, those wildly jumping electric balls would have instantly turned the three princes and the queen in the pit into charred corpses.

Kang Jae had already moved far away from this place thanks to his powerful legs, so he wouldn't even get a shock.

He turned back and looked carefully at the pit he had just left, then stretched out his fingers and counted carefully:

"1...2...3...4, none of them were injured."

"Are all those things outside... over?"

Princess Oit cautiously peeked out, and Prince Wabul in her arms also propped his head up like his mother.

"Now it's over... the flags have been raised... the flags have been lowered... anyway, it's over."

Kang Jae wanted to say a certain idiom, but he forgot it, so he shook his head and said:

"You all stay here for now. We'll know if there will be a second time when Dia arrives."

Whoever you say, they'll come.

No sooner had Kang Zai finished speaking than Diya's figure appeared from some unknown corner.

He greeted us with a relaxed smile, as if he had just finished a trip.

"Kang Zai, call the Eighth Princess and the others out. It's over."

As Dia arrived, the thick clouds hovering over the square gradually dissipated, and the continuous rumbling thunder also disappeared without a trace.

Kang Jae gestured towards the pit. Upon seeing the gesture, the Eighth Princess breathed a sigh of relief, quickly climbed out of the pit, and began to dust off her body and straighten her disheveled clothes.

"Have the others been killed?"

Kang Zai, who had no penchant for watching women tidy their clothes, turned to Diya and asked.

Although he asked, Kang Jae didn't really think anyone could survive.

Lightning is inherently deadly. Even professional Nen users rarely undergo training to withstand electric shocks. If they are hit by lightning, it's basically game over.

If Dia uses this move without any scruples, then she must be aiming to wipe out the entire enemy force.

But unexpectedly, Dia said:

"They spared two lives; they did help in some way."

Did you help me out in any way...?

Kang Jae suddenly grinned.

It's not about annihilation; it seems Dia doesn't like indiscriminate killing. I wonder if it's his true nature or something he learned from Qiduo.

After all, Qiduo herself has a style of avoiding killing if possible.

"And what about them?"

Kangzai suddenly pointed to the large pit, where Kadjo and Fugates were crawling out, covered in dust and dirt.

As soon as they returned to the ground, they looked warily at Kangzai and Diya, who were staring at them.

"Hmm...killed?"

Dia touched her chin, seemingly hesitant, and said.

"Huh!?"

Both sisters heard Dia's words, and Fugates instantly panicked, her face turning pale. She instinctively blurted out:

"No, don't kill us!"

"Whatever you want, we can give you. I'll go talk to Mother Holy Child..."

"Money, we have plenty of money, you can have it all! Or at least spare Cadjo's life..."

The more Fugates spoke, the more desperate he became, as if his mind was in a knot.

a moment.

She felt as if the man before her had turned into an indistinct gray mist, and behind the mist, his bloodthirsty eyes scrutinized her inch by inch, contemplating how to skin her alive, tear her apart, and dismember her...

Suddenly a hand blocked her way.

Frogez was abruptly interrupted and looked around blankly.

It was Cadjo who stopped her from speaking.

Kadjo stepped forward, blocking Fugates's view, and said in a cold voice, his tone fierce but his voice weak:

"Just tell us what you want. There's no need to try to scare us with those tactics."

"If you really wanted to kill us, there was no need to save us in the first place!"

Reminded by her, Fugates also realized what was going on.

Yes, wasn't it this person who saved them just now?

If he killed them as soon as the crisis was over, wouldn't his actions just be superfluous?

With this in mind, Fugates's tense mood finally eased.

Diya and Kangzai exchanged a glance, as if to say:

"Why don't you go through the trouble of taking two more burdens with you?"

Kang Jae turned around and walked toward the Eighth Princess without hesitation, as if someone was chasing him.

His attitude was also very clear: let Dia decide for herself what to do.

He did not get involved in the struggles between the other princes, nor did he kill anyone else; his only job was to ensure the safety of the Eighth Princess and the Fourteenth Prince.

Anyway, given Dia's attitude, she probably won't actually kill him.

"Tch, what a disloyal bastard."

Diya pursed her lips, no longer expecting Kang Zai to take over.

The red glow of the setting sun fell on the devastated square, like a candle gradually burning out, the light slowly dimming, foreshadowing the approaching night.

chi...

Suddenly, Dia felt a slight tremor in her heart, as if she heard something, and heard a very faint noise coming from it.

If it weren't for Diya's excellent hearing, she might have missed it.

The noise was a churning sound, like an engine, along with the sound of numerous wheels rubbing against the ground.

At times like these, there's only one possibility for vehicles traveling in a group.

'The King's army sent people to clean up the ground...'

Diya silently checked the time.

It's 6:30 pm now, and the King's Army will probably arrive in a minute or two, so we need to hurry.

He turned to look at Cadjo, suddenly crossed his arms, and said calmly:

"Now that you know who saved you, is this how you respond?"

Before the King's army arrives, he needs to deal with these two people and make them cooperate obediently so they won't cause trouble for Mumu Ze and him in the future.

"..."

Kadjo and Fugates were stunned by what they heard and looked at each other in bewilderment.

weewuu～weewuu～

The piercing wail of sirens suddenly echoed through the quiet streets and alleys.

Residents who had been cowering in their homes because of the chaotic gunfire coming from the square breathed a sigh of relief. Some of the bolder ones even dared to slightly open their windows and look out onto the street.

The screams, gunshots, and explosions echoed throughout the square all day, and even on streets far from the square, the stench of blood could be smelled.

Even if you can't see what's happening over there.

But anyone with a brain can guess the danger involved.

These ordinary people are unable to protect themselves, and they cannot escape the control measures imposed by the epidemic.

So all they could do was lock the doors and windows and pray that the situation wouldn't escalate further.

But it doesn't matter now.

The arrival of the police indicates that the government has begun to intervene.

Military vehicles, police cars, and special vehicles from the Justice Bureau lined up in a long procession, heading towards Xiangxueli Square.

In the Justice Bureau's official vehicle, the newlyweds nervously looked out the window.

One of the long-haired female newcomers swallowed hard and whispered to the senior in front of her:

"Brother Caesar, what happened in this operation? Why... did the Royal Army, the Justice Bureau, and the Police Department all get involved?"

Caesar sat alone in the passenger seat and calmly said:

“Some important people have died. Don’t go near the bodies. It’s best not to even get out of the car. Wait until the King’s army has finished dealing with them before you come out.”

The new female recruit who had just called Caesar "senior brother" nodded blankly and obediently replied, "Okay."

Caesar looked out the window.

Next to their convoy were three police cars from the New Delhi Police Department.

The lead police car, with its flashing red and blue lights and blaring sirens, silently drove toward the square, just like a routine police dispatch.

The original plan was to keep a low profile during this operation to avoid causing an uproar.

But someone in the car, as they approached the square, suddenly turned on the siren, seemingly for some purpose.

It's not that we can't use sirens now, but using sirens will alert those causing riots in the square, making them alert and even causing them to flee.
