Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

He then stood up and muttered under his breath:

"You can sell it for a good price by just covering it with tape... This is all state property..."

Without even glancing at the bewildered soldiers, he walked alone into the endless night, wading through puddles in the rain...

Chapter 453 The Crown Prince × Poxon's Resignation

At the end of March.

The torrential rain that lasted all night washed away all the tragedy and despair. No matter how many people were saddened, the world continues to move forward.

At 6:41 AM, when the sun rises,

The people of New Delhi have received incredibly good news—

The new vaccine has been put into emergency production, and the epidemic is about to end.

According to sources, this production will be overseen by the newly appointed Crown Prince, Prince Mumu Ze.

People cried and hugged each other at home, and laughed and cheered.

Dawn has arrived, and sorrow is gone.

Countless people are looking forward to it.

Looking forward to the day it all ends.

We await the day when the children can run in the sunshine again.

……

Miss Poker's Morning

They spent the time silently in the kitchen.

She seemed unusually focused today.

"Bread, ham, milk—breakfast shouldn't be too much. One egg for everyone, Miss Qiduo, one for that bastard, and one for me…"

Let's use the water from boiling the eggs as egg drop soup to nourish His Highness the Crown Prince...

Pokson calmly rolled up his sleeves, openly and without any attempt to hide his dissatisfaction with someone.

Today, she unusually took off her previous drab military uniform and changed into a white French lantern-sleeved shirt, with a black belted vest over it. The smooth and beautiful lines cinched at her firm and flat stomach. She wore black straight-leg trousers, which thankfully covered her ankles as well. The overall black and white color scheme had a somewhat ascetic feel to it.

Previously, Pokson had been too lazy to take care of himself, since everything was required for the mission.

But things are different now; she's ready to moisturize.

Since she no longer needs to fulfill the duties of a soldier, she should at least fulfill the duties of a young girl—take good care of herself!

However, unlike the stereotypical cute woman, Pokson doesn't like that sweet style, and it also overlaps with the current Crown Prince.

Moreover, she was not a "glamorous" woman in the conventional sense; Miss Poker was self-aware of this.

Her features had a youthful and delicate quality; her two dark eyes appeared rather large; her nose was small and cute but not prominent; yet she was 1.7 meters tall and had short, boyish hair.

Her sensitive and slightly arrogant personality also gave her a special leader-like quality—a natural detachment and clarity.

Such a temperament is often not likable, but fortunately she also has a healthy body...

Pokson absentmindedly tapped the side of the pot, his left hand seemingly casually brushing across his chest, a slight smile playing on his lips as if he were thinking of something.

"I heard you're planning to resign?"

Pokson paused in his work, blinked, and after a while turned around to look.

Dia calmly stood with her hands in her pockets, looking at the beautiful woman dressed as a man before her:

"Didn't you just get promoted to major? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Fortunately, he didn't notice.

Pokson subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, then realized what he meant and replied:

Do you want me to stay?

“Not at all,” Dia shook her head. “I have no intention of interfering with your decision.”

"You could intervene a bit..."

Poxon muttered something, then simply pushed himself up with both hands and sat on the cooking counter behind him, speaking earnestly to Dia:

“There’s no need for me to stay here anymore. The Crown Prince’s guard duties will be temporarily handed over to Momoli, but once she becomes queen, the so-called guards will probably just be for show, after all, there’s the [Time Stopper] here…”

Pokson's tone seemed joking, but there was a hint of resentment in his voice.

Diya's eyes darted around, unsure of how to respond.

The "Time Stopper" that Pokson just mentioned was not a nickname she made up on the spot.

This goes back to 4 a.m. this morning.

An explosive news story quietly spread among Nen users and secret organizations worldwide, with black market intelligence, underground trading venues, and intelligence agencies all updating their data accordingly.

Dia Diego, the former vice president of the Hunter Association and a one-star criminal hunter, is suspected of having the ability to pause time.

This news caused a huge uproar around the world, spreading like a virus throughout the entire underworld in just a few hours.

Countless people engaged in heated arguments and debates surrounding this information, and the veracity of the information became a key factor in the investigations by various organizations and national intelligence agencies.

As soon as the information spread, a "debunking" message appeared on the Hunter website, signed by the current vice president of the association, Three-Star Hunter with Difficult Diseases, Kito Yorkshire.

Of course, her denial did not dispel everyone's doubts.

It's perfectly normal for the Hunter Association to defend its former vice president; this shouldn't be used as a basis for judgment.

At this time, some people completely scoffed at and dismissed it.

They believed it was just a trick disguised as high-speed movement, and that the ability to stop time simply couldn't exist in the world.

Among these people, some particularly meddlesome individuals, in order to verify the authenticity of the intelligence or simply for amusement, offered a bounty on the mercenary's website for information on Dia's true abilities and her head.

The website was then completely wiped out by some powerful force within minutes, and those who had been involved in the incident never heard from them again...

According to insiders, it appears that in that incident, a V5-level major power directly intervened.

As for which country was involved, that's completely untraceable.

However, this also served as a wake-up call for everyone, making them afraid to do anything out of line again.

No one dared to take action against a hunter who was already ridiculously strong, despite the pressure from the Hunter Association and an unknown V5-level superpower.

Of course, Dia receiving such treatment naturally aroused a lot of people's wild imaginations.

These people therefore firmly believed that Dia could indeed stop time.

Regardless of whether this is reasonable or not, the world of Nen is never short of fanatical superstitious people.

They even soon gathered like-minded people and formed a small alliance, claiming to be supporters and advocates of Lord Dia, and had a certain voice in various countries, continents and even within the Hunter Association.

Out of respect, they did not address Dia by her full name, but instead used her widely circulated nickname online—

[Time Stopper]

Back in the kitchen.

"Let's not call you by that weird nickname anymore, my phone's been ringing off the hook."

Dia covered her head helplessly and said with distress.

"Who told you to be so capable, and not to hide it better... Oh, no, that's not right either."

Poxon jumped off the cooking counter, moved closer to Dia, his eyes crinkling into crescents, and said with a half-smile:

"You hid it quite well when you were keeping it from us."

Miss Poker seems a little different today; every move she makes exudes a unique kind of cool and cuteness. Dia awkwardly scratches her face and says...

"You didn't ask me."

"Humph……"

Poxon straightened up, made a soft nasal sound, and ignored Dia's sophistry.

"So where are you planning to go next?"

Diya quickly asked.

"Anywhere is fine with me. I'm a professional hunter, so I have plenty of job offers."

Poxon turned around and grabbed the bubbling egg with his bare hands. His long, slender fingers deftly peeled off the shell and placed it on his plate.

Diya complained:

"So what kind of hunter are you, an egg hunter?"

"Hmm... a music hunter?"

Pokson thought for a moment, then made something up on the spot, but quickly explained:

"However, my offer has nothing to do with this."

"You already have somewhere to go?"

"Yes, there is a non-governmental organization with good salary and benefits. It is located in the capital of a major country. The organization's senior management personally sent me the offer and specifically asked me to work as a secretary."

"Poxon said calmly."

Dia frowned upon hearing this:

"High-ups? Why were you specifically called in and given such importance?"

"I don't know, maybe they just like me?"

Pokson said absentmindedly, his thoughts drifting to a certain prince he didn't like.

Dia snorted coldly and said rudely:

"Hiring people for this reason? I think that so-called high-level person is a vulgar fellow, and must be up to some shady business. What's that person's name? I'll check him out for you. If he's an rude person, I'll teach him a lesson with my fists."

"Okay."

Pokson glanced at Dia in surprise, then walked up to him with great interest and said earnestly:
