Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Most of the Kakin soldiers had an almost ingrained fear of the royal family, and the same was true for Dia; a sense of tension coiled around her like a python.

When Momoko's appearance came into the view of Killua and Gon, the two children were immediately speechless.

This older sister, who used to be so capable and serious, even a little aloof, is now trembling like a quail in front of Diya.

The contrast is quite large.

Diya glanced at the slightly trembling Momo and said:

"Don't be nervous, I know what I'm doing. This isn't your fault, and I won't tell Mu Muze."

“Those who came to assassinate me were just a bunch of worthless scoundrels. I wiped them all out in seconds. I could kill any number of them, so I wasn’t angry.”

"But this matter cannot stop here. It doesn't matter to me today because I was assassinated, but the same thing cannot happen to Mumu Ze, understand?"

Diya's voice lowered, becoming ruthless and cold, her gaze indifferently landing on Momo's brow:

“If you can’t be sure, don’t let her run around. Even if you have to imprison her, lock her up in New Delhi until I get there.”

"If you can't do it, you should know what will happen to you."

captivity?!

Jasmine's breath hitched; how could she dare to do such a thing?!

But Dia's gaze was filled with terrifying pressure, leaving her speechless with a single word of rebuttal.

At this moment, although Diya did not have any real royal status, to her, she was no different from the regent who held power and exercised monarchical authority in textbooks.

Torn between her loyalty to the royal family and her own selfish desires, Momo was caught in a dilemma.

But this process did not last long.

"……Yes."

Jasmine lowered her head bitterly, expressing her submission.

Her loyalty to Mumu Ze subtly shifted, turning into loyalty to Dia's orders.

In the depths of her soul, she seemed to have a premonition that in the future, Mumu Ze's power as king might be eroded to an unprecedented degree.

Moreover, the crown prince would find it quite enjoyable.

What should she do when that time comes?

Forget it.

In any case, he at least wouldn't harm the Crown Prince...

"Take them inside, I'll be there in a bit."

Dia pointed to Kate and her group, who were left standing to the side, and then, after Momoly moved, took out her phone and made a call:

“Hey, is Ikshang a good match… Yes, it’s me, recommended by Teacher Qiduo… Okay, the fee doesn’t matter…”

Beep.

Dia hung up the phone.

A few minutes later, a file was sent over.

The document is short, and its core message can be summarized in one sentence:

The phone had been physically tampered with; some crucial information was being silently intercepted and sent to another number. However, because it was so well-hidden and only a portion of the information was being intercepted, it was extremely difficult to detect.

Immediately afterwards, that number was sent over.

Without much hesitation, Diya used her phone to dial that number.

"Hello, Mr. Dia, good afternoon."

Almost without interruption, the number was answered the instant it was dialed, and a completely unsurprised voice came from the other end, greeting the caller as if it were a casual conversation.

"...Pariston."

Diya was not surprised, and calmly called out the man's name, saying:

"What are you trying to do? Sending a bunch of worthless bastards here to die, what's the point?"

"It's meaningless. They're just bored and always want to play with me, so I want to send them to their deaths."

Pariston chuckled and said:

“Mr. Dia is quite interesting, but I don’t think he’d want to play with me…”

"To be honest, I don't have that weird obsession with making you completely convinced like Jin does. I just need others to be physically subjugated and defeated."

Dia sighed and said:

“If you’re going to say something like, ‘If you don’t want to play with me, I’ll use the people around you to force you to play with me,’ then I happen to know a place deep in the Kuludo rainforest that no detector can find.”

"...Although I don't know what you mean, I can roughly understand what you mean, Mr. Dia."

Pariston clearly sensed a malice, which made him somewhat...excited!

He has always been like this; he can only find happiness in being hated by others, especially by the hatred of the strong.

But Pariston really didn't intend to do anything despicable.

"Anger is not hatred."

Pariston chuckled softly, his tone resolute:

"From the first day I saw you, Mr. Dia, I never thought you would hate me for that kind of thing, just like Mr. Kim."

“You strong people who are so aloof from the crowd, and even from other aloof individuals, will only regard those around you as external objects or possessions, rather than living individuals and lives.”

"Taking someone's chopsticks away while they are eating will only provoke anger, but no one will hate me for it."

"Whether it's that young crown princess or Miss Qiduo, they're nothing more than your chopsticks, aren't they, Mr. Dia?"

"Similarly, the same applies to Mr. Jin's disciple and his son. Harming them will not make me achieve my goal; it will only make me die prematurely with regret."

Dia, with dead fish eyes, listened to Pariston's madness and said:

"so?"

"That's why I'm the most humane one."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'm hanging up."

Dia was getting impatient; if Pariston continued rambling on, he would hang up the phone.

"Alright, then let's get straight to the point."

Pariston, knowing when to stop, changed the subject:

“Mr. Dia, you seem to know a lot of things you shouldn’t know. For example, that flight to the Republic of Locario was very strange.”

"I've heard you have the ability to stop time. Do you also have the ability to foresee the future?"

Chapter 468 The Republic of Localio × Nakoru

"Vice President, the hacker has already deleted all the existing videos on the internet. Apart from private devices that cannot be hacked after being disconnected from the internet, the key evidence has also been released. This matter should not cause any major trouble."

Wearing black-rimmed glasses and exuding an aloof, unapproachable air, Pokson spoke to Kido, who was looking down at her documents:

"However, some of your bad reputations have spread more widely within the association as a result, such as being labeled a schemer or a dictator. Should we initiate countermeasures to deal with this?"

"No need. I can roughly guess who's behind this. It's impossible to suppress. The most important thing is to prevent people from thinking we're openly challenging the Hunter's Rules."

After finishing her work methodically, Qi Duo said with a headache:

"Especially my colleagues from the Zodiac, those brainless idiots actually believed Pariston's nonsense and called to ask me to revoke Dia's hunter qualification."

"A lot?"

"I asked with some concern," Pokson asked.

Qiduo slumped back in the chair, let out a long sigh, and said:

"Everyone else is fine, but it's mainly these three, [卯], [申], and [酉]. They argue that regardless of the reason, judging from the leaked video, Dia killed those bounty hunters who were also hunters without any hesitation, showing that she genuinely despised the Hunter's Ten Rules."

"Even if it is for self-defense today, they may violate the Hunter's Rules for other reasons in the future. For the sake of the association's development, they should be expelled in advance."

Poxon sneered:

"What a ridiculous reason. Wouldn't they fight back when someone points a gun at them?"

"They understand these principles; they just want to find an excuse to disagree."

Qiduo explained to Pokson:

"The Hunter Association's twelve branches are not a monolithic entity, but rather divided into several different camps based on their stances. If we say that Myouya and I are the 'moderates,' then the three of them are the so-called 'reformers' or 'hawks.'"

"Although we don't usually bring conflicts to the surface, my relationship with the three of them is not close, and we even have many conflicting political views."

"For example, on the issue of whether to allow potentially dangerous individuals to join the association, they have always firmly opposed it, on the grounds of maintaining the association's positive reputation, while we have always tacitly agreed, following the president's philosophy of 'education for all'."

“In the past, the chairman made the decisions, but now the chairman runs away after finding out about this, and then they will object if I make the decision.”

"This time, Dia was recorded openly slaughtering those bounty hunters, which gave them an opportunity. It's practically impossible for them not to take advantage of it."

For Xiyou and Pjorn, this was an opportunity that came once in a lifetime.

If they can expel Diya, the former vice president, in one fell swoop, then their reform direction will have made significant progress.

"Do you think their ideas are right or wrong? Just regarding the point about not allowing dangerous individuals to join the association, Poxon?"

Qiduo suddenly asked.

After a moment of contemplation, Poxon did not answer directly, but instead changed the subject, saying:

"You actually think they're right, don't you?"

"...Although I am unwilling to admit it, I do subconsciously disagree with the president's philosophy."

Qiduo sighed softly, a shadow falling over her emerald eyes:

"To a doctor, people are just patients and healthy people, but to a hunter, people can be divided into good people and bad people."

"If someone takes another's life arbitrarily for an improper reason, then they are a bad person. Is such a person really suitable to stay in the association?"

Actually, Qi Duo was thinking of Pariston.
