Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

It seems like they mistook him for Kuroro?

I was thinking of giving her a quick death since her whole body had turned to charcoal, but before that happened, she suddenly seemed to have let go of her resentment and breathed her last.

Oh well, I'll just consider it a good deed done in secret.

Dia, who preferred to avoid killing if possible, shrugged and didn't care about what had just happened.

He then noticed the white radish lying quietly on the ground not far away.

So Dia thoughtfully stepped forward, picked it up, and weighed it in her hand. She estimated that this amount would be enough for four people to cook.

The bomb that the [Bulging-Eyed Fish] suddenly spat out did surprise him, but thanks to the power of time stopping, he managed to knock it away behind Little Drop without any serious injury.

But Dia had to admit that if he had been hit by this sudden attack at close range, probably few people besides him would have been able to escape unscathed.

This made him retract his assessment of the [Bulging-Eyed Fish] ability as a fourth-rate skill; it was a very powerful ability, and Kuroro's judgment was commendable.

Just then, Dia suddenly frowned. He felt the ground beneath his feet... trembling?

Without warning, a strong wind swept in, ruffling Dia's hair.

At the same time, a hasty sentence was also carried on the wind—

"Mr. Dia, don't resist, let the wind carry you up..."

It was Vincent's voice. Although it was slightly distorted by the wind, Dia recognized his magnetic and iconic voice immediately.

Although we don't know what happened, Vincent's haste must mean it's something serious, so it's best to do as he says.

So Dia relaxed her body and let the wind carry her into the air.

It wasn't until he was halfway up in the air that he realized why Vincent was in such a hurry—

The unidentified bomb happened to hit a huge container inside the factory, and from the cracks created by the blast, thick, scalding hot syrup was continuously flowing out...

Chapter 102 Black Tide × Heavy Rain

Dia was swept into the air by the strong wind, but he had no time to pay attention to this strange experience.

The reason was the huge syrup storage tank not far away that had been damaged by the bomb and had a crack in it!

'If all the syrup from such a large storage tank overflowed, this entire street would probably be flooded!'

Dia couldn't quite understand why, if the bomb had hit the tank wall, it had only created such a small hole.

Moreover, based on his observation just now, the bomb only affected the outer shockwave.

Suddenly Vincent, also riding the strong wind, appeared beside Dia and said:

"That storage tank looks like it was only built a few months ago. It's impossible that it's been neglected for years. The only way to explain this partial crack is that they cut corners during construction."

His eyes were serious as he silently began calculating the data for the storage tank in front of him.

"It's about 15 meters high and nearly 27 meters in diameter. Even if it's not full, the total amount of syrup it stores is estimated to be close to..."

"800 million liters?"

Vincent and Dia were both somewhat taken aback by the calculated data.

"Isn't the anniversary coming up soon? Why is there still so much syrup stored here instead of being used to make [Hard Tooth Candy]?"

Vincent, who had worked as a civil servant in Pattaya for three years, was somewhat familiar with the local customs, but not so much with what had happened in recent years.

Upon hearing this, Diya suddenly remembered what Lu Ren had said in the alley yesterday and understood everything:

"The syrup factory has a new manager, and the new manager wants to cancel the tradition of distributing syrup on anniversaries!"

Hearing this, Vincent understood the cause and effect, but he still didn't understand—

It's been almost a year since Heroes' Day. If the new factory manager intended to cancel this custom from the beginning, why prepare so much candy?

The "hard toothpaste" made with this syrup doesn't taste nearly as appealing.

You have to understand that food has much stricter storage requirements, so if it's produced but can't be sold, then just sitting in a warehouse is a waste of money.

No shrewd businessman would do something so stupid.

Unless...he has a greater interest to gain?

Unlike Vincent, Dia didn't think that far ahead; he simply stared intently at the crack in the tank.

There, syrup kept seeping out.

Immediately following was a sickening metallic tearing sound, and the crack suddenly widened in Dia's eyes!

"Quickly! Evacuate the crowd first!"

Dia's eyelids twitched, and she decisively shouted to Vincent:

"If that syrup got on an ordinary person, they would either be burned to death or suffocate!"

A deafening roar of wind.

Without hesitation, Vincent unleashed his full power to increase the wind speed, and the two figures vanished from their spot.

During this sensitive period, if a large number of residents are injured, it will only cause a surge in hospital traffic, posing a threat to their mission.

…………

Wolniu Supermarket.

The cashier yawned as she cleaned up the broken glass on the floor.

For some reason, she went to the restroom, and when she came back, the supermarket door was completely shattered, leaving behind shards of glass all over the floor.

While she was in the restroom, she heard a loud noise coming from outside, but now the area outside the supermarket was shrouded in thick fog, like a brick wall, and she couldn't see anything.

So the cashier decided to avoid trouble and slowly started cleaning up.

"ah!----"

The cashier looked up alertly and gazed towards the door.

She thought she heard a terrified voice coming from the mist.

A sense of foreboding washed over her, and her instinct was to turn around and hide back in the bathroom...

Swish!

A large hand suddenly reached out from the fog, grabbed her arm, and dragged her into the fog in an instant!

"what!--"

Under the immense force of the drag, the cashier was powerless to resist and could only passively utter terrified cries.

Dia casually tossed her into the air.

Immediately afterwards, the cashier felt her body lighten and watched as she lifted off the ground!

'Oh no, am I going to fall and die?'

Before she could completely succumb to despair, a gust of wind, accompanied by a chorus of terrified screams, suddenly swept her away and flew into the distance.

When she could clearly see what was happening before her, she was stunned—

It was a long line of people being swept up by the gale!

Some of them screamed, some cried, and some were not even dressed properly, but they were all swept away by the gale and flew to the west towards Chuangjing Road.

west?

Why the west? A question suddenly popped into the cashier's mind. She even forgot that she was dozens of meters in the air and subconsciously turned her head to look east.

What came into view was a huge tidal wave that had appeared out of nowhere on the street.

The tide was an eerie dark brown, carrying a heavy sense of oppression, like a black wall approaching the other end of the street.

Almost instantly, the location she had just been standing in and the supermarket were swallowed up by the tide, which swept away everything in its path.

The incomprehensible scene filled her with immense fear, her body completely frozen, leaving her helpless as the raging wind swept her away at high speed.

At this moment, Diya was weaving through the fog, with the surging black tide behind him. He quickly called upon his spirit beast:

"Fog! It's going to rain soon!"

In this frigid weather, a downpour would be enough to completely solidify the syrup before it could spread.

What he needs to do now is to quickly take away the last group of people he discovered within his [Circle] domain.

Relying on the detection of the circle, Dia didn't even look at the road. When she reached a corner, she turned around without hesitation.

There should be two adults and five children…

Dia calmly calculated the number of people he would take with him, but the person around the corner surprised him.

"Mr. Dia?"

Lu Ren stared in surprise at Diya, who had suddenly appeared before them at a speed he couldn't even see.

This gave him a lingering fear. If that speed had been from an enemy attack, he wouldn't have been able to react at all. Luckily, it was someone he knew.

After a brief moment of surprise, Dia didn't waste time explaining, but simply said:

"Relax, don't resist."

He then darted forward, grabbed Lu Ren and another unfamiliar man by the hand, and suddenly threw them into the air with a burst of strength!

This was a solution he and Vincent came up with in a short time: Dia, who was better at [circles] and ran faster, would be responsible for searching for ground targets and throwing them into the air.

Vincent, meanwhile, used his full power to "blow" the thrown crowd toward another street, while ensuring they didn't collide in mid-air or suffer secondary damage.

With the two working together, this tactic immediately proved effective, clearing out a population vacuum around the sugar jar.

Chapter 103 An Unexpected Move × What Was the Purpose?

After hearing Diya's words, Lu Ren decisively relaxed his muscles, calmed his breath, and let Diya throw him into the air.

He felt that Dia, who was so kind to children, would never do anything to hurt him.

Furthermore, since they are all hunters, harming their colleagues is an open challenge to the "Ten Hunter Rules".
