Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

"It's actually true..."

With a complicated expression, Momo put the phone back.

This white-haired brat who appeared out of nowhere was actually Dia's disciple, and a member of the famous assassination family, the Zoldycks.

It stands to reason,

Under no circumstances should she, as a guard, allow assassins to approach the palace.

But just now on the phone, Killua's identity was confirmed through his conversation with the Crown Prince.

He also received an invitation from Mumu Ze.

'Sigh...we can only take it one step at a time. If something unexpected happens, I'll protect His Highness the Crown Prince, even if it means death.'

Even so, Momo looked at the three people in front of her.

A white-haired man with a cold demeanor, a green-clad kid looking around curiously, and a white-haired kid with a smug look on his face.

What they have in common is that layer of undisguised entanglement.

Skilled, solid, and resilient.

Without a doubt, even though the two kids looked to be only teenagers, they were far more skilled at manipulating ki than she was.

Considering their ages, the difference is probably not just in their training level, but more so in their natural talent.

If a fight really breaks out, can she beat those two children?

'But considering that the white-haired brat's teacher is Dia, it doesn't seem so strange. That guy isn't much older than me, yet he's already as strong as a monster...'

It should be said that only monsters can get along.

"Remember, the person you're looking for isn't here. So, His Highness the Crown Prince will be summoning you. When you see His Highness, remember to keep your distance. You are not allowed to get too close to him, nor are you allowed to do anything impolite or disrespectful to the royal family..."

Momo gave a long list of instructions, until Xiao Jie's eyes started to water and blue smoke began to rise from his head, before she reluctantly stopped and said:

"Then come in with me."

"I'm sorry to bother you."

Kate, as always, was quiet and reserved, and calmly offered her thanks.

Actually, he didn't want to come.

But not long ago, after he mentioned the name Dia, Killua became very excited and wanted to find out more, saying that it must be his teacher himself.

Killua wanted to go, so Gon naturally couldn't be left behind and eagerly followed.

But Kate knew very well.

Gon was born on the remote Whale Island and was unfamiliar with those complicated court etiquettes, as well as the human nature of those royal children. Given Killua's background, it was even less likely that he would have much respect for the Kakin royal family.

If they are left to their own devices, they might anger the new emperor somewhere and end up being beheaded.

Even if it's not that serious.

But if something like that happens, he might be forced to leave Kakin, and then he wouldn't be able to explain it to the partners he had gathered before.

However, they stopped after walking only a short distance.

To be precise, they were stopped.

Beheld by a cloud.

Everyone stared in disbelief as the cloud slowly descended at the palace gate, from which a young man jumped down.

"Dia?"

Killua's eyes widened, and he exclaimed the person's name in surprise.

Dia merely glanced at him and said indifferently:

"Remember to call the teacher next time, or I'll send you home."

"Take me home? Fine, I'll take you..."

Upon hearing this, Killua instinctively wanted to retort.

But as soon as he said it, he remembered something and fell into deep thought.

Going back now would probably mean certain death...

"Teacher Diya, why are you back?"

Killua immediately changed his tune, abruptly changing the subject.

"Is there a problem with the flight?"

Momo knew more than Killua, so she looked at Dia, who had suddenly returned, and asked.

"Yes, someone leaked my flight information and arranged for several people to ambush me on the flight. I killed them, so I decided to come back and check it out."

As she spoke, Dia walked toward the bewildered Jasmine.

"Leaked flight information? Impossible, I'm the only one who's ever had access to your flight information..."

Jasmine subconsciously denied what Dia had said.

But in the next instant, she suddenly realized what was happening and stared in astonishment at Dia, who had walked up to her:

"You doubt me?!"

As soon as she uttered those words, the atmosphere around her seemed to tense up instantly.

Killua and Gon exchanged a glance at the sudden situation, their eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment.

Judging from the brief conversation between Dia and Momo, it seems that Dia has been betrayed, and Momo is the most suspicious person.

But this seems to contradict their intuition.

Although they had only known Momo for a few minutes, she didn't seem like the kind of person who would betray others.

Could there be some misunderstanding?

The same thought also popped into Kate's mind.

As a seasoned professional hunter, he believed he had a good eye for people. Although he wasn't as good as Jin, who could see through people's true nature, he didn't think Momo would be that kind of person.

However, he also sensed that Dia was not a simple person.

Both his demeanor and his words and actions conveyed a sense of familiarity—just like his teacher, Kim.

Considering that Killua said that Dia and his teacher King were also good friends, it's normal for him to have this feeling.

With this familiar feeling,

Diya easily made Kate, whom he was meeting for the first time, subconsciously develop a liking for him and not think that the other party might make a misjudgment.

Therefore, at this moment, his intuitive judgment of the two people was contradictory and divergent.

'Is it a misunderstanding... or is someone sabotaging this?'

Kate keenly sensed something unusual.

After a very brief moment of consideration, he decisively spoke before Dia could, trying to ease the atmosphere:

"Please don't rush into an argument. I think there must be some misunderstanding. It would be best to communicate more before drawing a conclusion."

That's all he could say.

Ultimately, this is also Diya's territory, and Kate has no right or intention to stop them from doing whatever they want to that female soldier.

Moreover, in terms of strength, Kate wasn't confident she could easily face a master like Dia.

As soon as he spoke, Dia turned and glanced at Kate.

The hunter who died a gruesome death in the original story but was resurrected through his abilities is now standing safely behind Killua and Gon, quietly watching him.

He seemed to be trying to ease the tension.

However, Dia actually had no intention of making a move.

He shook his head and said calmly:

"I didn't misunderstand anything."

"I trust those I employ. Since Poker recommended you before he left, I won't doubt your loyalty. However, there are some things I need to investigate..."

As she spoke, Dia stretched out a hand and opened it in front of Momo:

Give me your phone.

Momo hesitated for a moment, then took a thick black cell phone from her pocket, placed it in Dia's hand, and stammered:

"...This is a special cell phone used by the Royal Army. Every message and call passes only through the Royal Family's internal communication channels. Even the cyber forces cannot monitor it. It is...top secret..."

"What you're saying sounds like you're courting death."

Diya opened her phone, grabbed the other person's finger to unlock the fingerprint lock, and said casually.

Momo keeps saying that she won't be monitored or have her information listened to, doesn't that mean she deliberately leaked the information?

Jasmine said hesitantly:

"That's not what I meant... but this matter... maybe I made a mistake somewhere, it's not like the cyber force betrayed the country..."

Her colleague, Acrylic, is currently in charge of the cyber unit. If this matter is investigated, he could easily be accused of incompetence.

No one cares whether he has just taken office or not. Such a serious accident will definitely be a huge obstacle to his takeover of the cyber forces.

And this is very likely her fault.

Although Momo couldn't understand how those top-secret messages could have been leaked.

'No, I can't let my comrades pay the price because of my negligence…'

Just thinking about the serious consequences made Jasmine's back almost soaked with cold sweat.

Momo knew all too well how important Dia was to Mumu Ze.

If the Crown Prince finds out about this, she and Acrylic could face imprisonment, and even their families could be implicated.

Even Poxson couldn't help them much with this.

She was almost gripped by fear, her whole body trembling.
