Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

Government, organization, mercenary, hunter, martial artist, warrior.

They don't even take them seriously.

Kuroro was no exception, but what made him stronger than others was that he clearly understood what authority represented.

But he remained fearless, because he would do everything in his power to get what he wanted, no matter what it took.

This is the ultimate skill of a thief.

'One of the conditions for an ability to evolve and gain a new ability is that the thief must be present.'

Secondly, they must steal a treasure of the [Second National Treasure] level.

Thirdly, the thief must escape unscathed to complete the evolution.

A man wearing a mask was deep in thought, staring at the book in his hands. His gaze was deep, his demeanor was quiet, and he was dressed in an ordinary down jacket, making him inconspicuous in the crowd.

'If development is forced, many restrictions will likely be imposed.'

In other words, this operation is a must-win, but its difficulty has likely exceeded previous plans…

Kuroro recalled the spying gaze from afar last night. He couldn't pinpoint the source of the gaze, so the distance between them must have been quite great.

Such eyesight is truly astonishing from an observational perspective alone.

In other words, if he wasn't mistaken, the other party must have used a Nen ability for remote surveillance that he couldn't directly detect.

'Did they discover my whereabouts, or is the entire city simply under surveillance...?'

Kuroro guessed that the gaze probably came from the initiator of this operation, namely the government department of the Mingbo Republic.

Then we can't just call Uvogin and Franklin over on short notice, since their appearances are recorded by governments around the world.

In contrast, his appearance has not been documented extensively.

Although he can use the [Transfer Student] ability to sneak into the city, the ability will automatically dissipate as soon as he activates [Thief's Secret].

Your companions' appearances will be directly exposed to the enemy's surveillance, at which point you'll have no choice but to fight your way out of the city.

The operation was planned as a strategy of outsmarting the enemy from the outset, so he made almost no contact with the combatants in the brigade, except for the newly joined Number 4...

Kuroro thought of Number 4, who never concealed his desires. He didn't actually dislike this straightforwardness, which Number 4 would call "pursuit."

He even seemed to enjoy it.

Although this operation brought him into the city, they never saw him again after shaking him off inside. They had no idea what he was doing...

It doesn't matter, anyway, I don't completely trust those two newcomers yet.

The same goes for Number 8. Her ability can be used to temporarily hide the stolen gems. Although she has no intention of leaving, Kuroro, out of a lack of complete trust, lets her go.

According to the intelligence gathered by the knight, the operation was led by government departments and definitely involved Nen users.

However, in terms of combat ability, the Nen users of the government that Chrollo encountered were generally unremarkable.

In other words, with a little care, it is entirely possible to outsmart the enemy and escape unscathed with everyone.

The premise is that no other forces are involved, such as hiring some high-level hunters, otherwise it will be much more troublesome.

However, although we don't know when the gems will arrive, at least their location is certain...

'Due to its unique geographical location, Pati City has no military presence, so those transporting the gems would certainly not enter the city in broad daylight.'

According to the information provided by the swordsman, there should be an underground passage beneath Patt City…

Chapter Sixty-Eight: Empire State Building × Actions by All Parties (Part Three)

"Mommy, Mommy, come and chase me... Ah!"

On Xiqiang Street, a cute little girl ran and shouted as she played with her mother.

Just as she turned around excitedly and called for her mother to catch up with her, a stone under her feet caused her to suddenly lose her balance!

Her body involuntarily fell to the ground, letting out a scream.

Upon seeing this, her mother, who was standing behind her, felt a chill run down her spine, and a look of terror almost popped out of her eyes.

At the critical moment, a clean leather shoe suddenly appeared in front of the little girl, deftly hooking her belly and tossing her upwards.

Before she could react, a large hand grabbed her collar and gently placed her on the ground.

"Watch your step when you run!"

A slightly thin voice reached the little girl's ears, causing her to subconsciously look up.

What came into view was a tall, red-haired man with narrow eyes, a handsome face, and a slight smile.

"Ah, okay..."

The little girl answered blankly, as if she hadn't come to her senses yet. At that moment, her mother rushed up from behind and hugged her tightly.

The girl's mother mumbled something, and after checking on the little girl, she thanked the man profusely.

Hisoka casually replied a few words, and after the mother and daughter left, he began to ponder:

'I've searched for ages but can't find any trace of the leader...'

'Did you use some kind of disguise ability?'

At this moment, Hisoka, unusually, let down his usual high-flying red hair and wore a beautiful formal suit.

He turned around, found a bench, sat down, crossed his legs, and watched the street and the various pedestrians with great interest.

Just then, a howling wind suddenly reached Hisoka's ears, causing him to look up sharply.

'Such a powerful aura…'

Hisoka narrowed his eyes, his already long and narrow eyes shrinking to slits. He looked at the tall building in front of him and thought:

'The Empire State Building? It's only full of bored bureaucratic elites…'

'Let's go in and take a look; maybe we'll find something unexpected?'

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

'Uh...where am I?'

Shi Ba opened his eyes in a daze and saw the moving scene outside the window.

This is……

In the car? Then who's driving?

She turned her head in a daze and saw a familiar face. That face, which should have been full of unease and timidity, now looked incredibly calm.

Shi Ba: ! !

"Mommy? No, who are you?!"

The image of being knocked unconscious flashed into Shi Ba's mind. From that position, the only one who could have attacked her back was the young man driving the car in front of her!

Incredulity, disbelief, tension, and the pain of betrayal intertwined in Shiba's mind.

Almost instinctively, she drew the pistol from her waist, released the safety, pointed it at "Mob's" head, and let out a sharp shout!

"answer me!"

To everyone's surprise, Maggie didn't even move his head, but simply said a sentence to himself in a calm voice:

"I am Machi, isn't that the name you gave me, Boss?"

"Put the gun down, it's useless to me. Think about what just happened."

Maji's calm voice seemed to have a magical power, making Shiba relax a little involuntarily.

What just happened?

She recalled the terrifying black and white figure; if Maggie hadn't taken her away, she probably would have died at that person's hands.

So it was her best friend who saved her.

but……

'That's not how it is with a friend...'

Shi Ba opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but the facts before her reminded her—that's exactly what her best friend was like.

Despite still refusing to acknowledge the dramatic changes in her comrade in such a short time, the gun in her hand gradually lowered.

Her thoughts drifted back to a few months ago when she was on an assassination mission in Tongnan City.

After completing the assassination, she should have left immediately, but she felt uneasy.

So she decided to stroll around Tongnan City at night before leaving.

It was a rainy night when she encountered a bewildered boy on a street corner. Later, during her questioning, she discovered that the boy had lost his memory.

On a whim, she took it upon herself to give him a name and brought him into her team.

Later, no matter what the mission was, she took him with her, but the boy named Maji was always unwilling to kill people with his own hands.

She thought this situation would continue indefinitely, or that one day her best friend would suddenly decide to kill someone, or that one day she would be killed herself.

Until a few hours ago...

She suddenly felt her worldview of over twenty years shattered. The thought of that black and white devil filled her with a sense of powerlessness. She asked blankly:

"Where are you going...?"

"I need to get some things sorted out in Patt City."

Maji's calm voice came through, carrying an unwavering determination.

November 5th.

The top floor of the Empire State Building.

Vincent Cayman held a glass of red wine, gently swirling it. The blood-red liquid rippled outwards in concentric circles.

Holding the phone in his other hand, an arrogant voice came from the other end:

“Cayman, remember this: if it weren’t for Lord Yangde, you would always just be Cayman, not Vincent.”
