Hunter x Hunter: Infinite Growth

Wright's eyes widened in shock when he saw the paper.

He remembered the prophetic poem.

The black letter—yes, it was the mission notification received at midnight, and it matched the task of delivering a verbal message.

[The jackals, unable to resist, headed east, taking their claws with them]—isn't this exactly what they did this morning?

He unconsciously turned to look at Kevin, who was sitting on the stool.

[A newly born beast, disgusted, will suffer physical pain if it speaks recklessly], indeed, this is a true reflection of his current situation.

Perhaps because he had just spoken, he was hit harder than the others after being thrown over, but fortunately, his life was not in danger.

At that moment, Kevin was asking questions with increasing impatience.

“You, I’m losing patience.” Kevin pointed his finger at Wright.

Wright's thoughts raced, and the words from the prophetic poem kept flashing through his mind.

He hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

"I'm sorry. We didn't mean any harm, really we didn't. We're just here to deliver a message. I don't even know the specifics of what we're supposed to tell you."

Wright honestly told what he knew.

At this point, it's unlikely that anyone will blame him.

Kevin finally withdrew his foot and nodded slightly. Then, he lowered his head and looked at the person who had fallen in front of him.

"What's your name again?" Kevin asked.

The boss, who had been severely reprimanded by him earlier, had now woken up, and the pain all over his body made him groan involuntarily.

Upon hearing Kevin's question, he answered timidly, "Bruto, my name is Bruto."

“Yes, Bruto, now you can tell me what you’ve come here for.”

If Kevin hadn't genuinely sensed no murderous intent from these people, the scene would likely have been far more than just a chorus of wails.

Bruto nodded quickly, enduring the excruciating pain, and said, "I have come to find you on the orders of Salo Tedolca, the sixth son of the Tedolca family."

Salo Tedorka...who is that?

To be honest, Kevin had no recollection of this, since his original memories were fragmented and unimportant memories were not preserved.

Moreover, he was certain that he had never had any dealings with this seemingly powerful mafia family.

"What did he want to say?" Kevin pressed.

“Lord Salo said, said…” Bruto stammered.

"Stop stammering," Kevin urged.

"He said he hoped you would go back and asked if you had had enough fun outside. I didn't say that; I was just relaying the message."

He also said not to think that having some power means you can do whatever you want; your little bit of power is insignificant in his eyes.

He asked you if you really wanted to betray him?

Go back and continue to serve him, and he will forgive your betrayal.

"Otherwise..." Bruto hesitated again.

Kevin frowned, and seeing this, Bruto hurriedly added cautiously, "Otherwise, he'll have to resort to some tough measures, and don't blame him for not informing you beforehand."

After hearing this, Kevin nodded slightly, then asked in confusion, "Tell me, who exactly is this Salo?"

Kevin roughly guessed that this person was probably one of the original owner's former benefactors.

After all, the original owner was conducting research at the time, which required a large amount of various materials, and maintaining the collection of these materials required a huge amount of funds.

Even though the original owner was a pharmacist who graduated from a prestigious school, acquiring so much wealth was by no means easy, and naturally, she had dealings with local underworld families.

At that time, most of the various potions produced by the original owner were sold to this family, and only this family in the area could buy them; he was not allowed to sell them to others.

Kevin deduced this information from reviewing the ledgers and records of various material transactions, but the original owner did not keep detailed records of who the transactions involved.

Clearly, the original owner was more focused on biopharmaceuticals and only made simple notes about other things without paying much attention to them.

I never expected them to track me down here. This is really troublesome.

But upon closer reflection, this makes sense. Since the other party knows about Nen abilities, they are naturally aware of the rarity of Kevin's Nen ability, and the benefits this ability can bring to these mafia families are self-evident.

"The Terdorka family is one of the Ten Elders who manage all the world's gangs, and the current head of the family is one of the Ten Elders."

"And Salo is the sixth son of this ten old men," Bruno explained.

That sounds really impressive.

Upon hearing this, Kevin dusted himself off and got up to walk out the door.

As he walked, he said, "Go back and tell your boss that the previous cooperation is over. I hope we can part ways amicably."

I'll let you off this time, as proof that we parted amicably. If there's a next time, make him wash his neck clean.

Bruto didn't dare say anything more and could only nod obediently. They really couldn't afford to offend this young man.

"Phew, that monster is finally gone."

"That's terrifying, who exactly is he?"

Just as the people in the room were complaining quietly, Kevin's voice came from the doorway again, which made the gang members in the room instantly fall silent, like chickens with their necks being choked.

"By the way, remember to pay up the money honestly. You have to compensate the hotel staff for making such a mess of the room."

Also, please settle my room fee as an apology.

"Yes...yes!" Bruto hurriedly responded loudly, afraid that if he answered too slowly, he would provoke Kevin again.

Only after confirming that Kevin had really left did a series of heavy breathing sounds come from the room.

"This is incredibly unlucky; the information they gave us didn't mention how amazing this guy is at all."

If he had known he was this capable, he would have come much more politely.

Chapter Sixty-Two: Understanding and Responding to X

"This is really troublesome."

After leaving the hotel, Kevin walked down the street, looking depressed.

He had originally planned to enjoy the city, but this happened instead.

It's truly disgusting that gangs are legal in this world.

In his original world, although some countries legalized gangs, there were only a handful.

Surprisingly, in this world, all countries recognize the legitimacy of gangs.

"This damn world is absolutely awful," Kevin couldn't help but complain again.

However, he originally possessed Nen abilities and was once considered a subordinate of a mafia boss named Salo.

To be precise, it was just the other party's wishful thinking. The original owner of this body was not actually interested in these things; he would work for whoever could give him money and resources so that he could focus on pursuing his dreams.

Based on his current identity records, it wouldn't be difficult to find his whereabouts.

After all, he is now just an ordinary high school graduate, nothing special. Moreover, there are many video recordings of his battles in the Sky Arena.

This means that the gangster boss who knows about Nen abilities—Saro—must know that he is now quite powerful.

Perhaps that's why they only sent some ordinary gang members today to deliver what they call a "friendly message."

Kevin didn't think the other side would give up so easily.

After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and made a call.

"Hey, it's me."

"Kevin? What happened?" Yun Gu asked directly on the other end of the phone.

"Well, it's a small matter. You know I don't have any memories of the past, but those things still affect me."

"Don't make it sound so mysterious, it's about those old gangs, right?" Yun Gu immediately guessed the reason.

"Haha, you're really perceptive, that's exactly it." Kevin chuckled.

After all, when she first met Kevin, it was Yun Gu who was in charge of investigating his information, so she naturally knew about his past experiences.

Yun Gu immediately understood that Kevin might need help and said directly, "If you need any information or advice, I'll use the Hunter Association's intranet to look it up for you later and then send it to you via email."

Also, if you don't want your whereabouts to be so easily tracked anymore, then hurry up and become a hunter.

Once you become a hunter, you can travel by hunter's license, and the information on the hunter's license is stored in the hunter's intranet.

The Ten Elders had neither the authority nor the ability to access information within the Hunters.

Ultimately, they are nothing more than subordinates used by those in power to handle matters that are inconvenient for them to handle personally.

Aside from top-tier hackers, only V5 has the capability to query hunter information.

As long as the hunters do not threaten their rule, the V5 will generally turn a blind eye to their illegal activities.

In name, the Hunter Association is a non-governmental cooperative organization, but in reality it is nothing more than an appendage of a major power.

"No problem, I've already signed up."

"That's good, I'll send you the information in a bit."

"Thanks, see you later."

"it is good."

After the call ended, Kevin put his phone away.

Although he hadn't received the email yet, based on the brief conversation just now, he was basically certain that the so-called Ten Elders or gangsters were nothing in front of the Hunter Association.

Yun Gu is a member of the Shingen-ryu school of martial arts and has been influenced by Bisky for a long time, so he definitely knows and understands much more than ordinary members of the Hunter Association.

The email arrived on my phone very quickly.

The email contained detailed information about Salo and his family, similar to what Kevin already knew, but more detailed, even including the extent to which Salo was valued within the family—which could be described as insignificant.

Although the Tdorka family occupies one seat among the Ten Elders, the number of family members is only twenty.

These gangs are basically all affiliated with the Tdorca family. Salo Tdorca is only the sixth son of the family and is not highly regarded.

The email even mentioned the Nen user team directly under the Ten Elders—the [Shadow Beasts].

This means that even if Kevin wreaks havoc on the gang, he will only face retaliation from this Nen team.

"They even have information on some members' Nen abilities. That's amazing." Kevin was surprised that Cloud Valley provided such comprehensive information.

Looking at this information, Kevin made a judgment.

Even if he finds Salo's place now and kills him, it won't bring too much retaliation.

The losses are not enough to warrant the deployment of the [Shadow Beast], so it's not worth it.

Kevin believes that these Nen members of the [Shadow Beasts] should be quite strong based on their stats.

Of course, this is just a theoretical analysis; true strength can only be known in face-to-face combat.

Regardless, this information gave Kevin a sense of security.

"In other words, he might spend some money to hire people to invite me back."

Judging from his financial situation... he can't afford a high price. Pshaw, I thought he'd messed with some big shot.

After figuring all this out, Kevin couldn't help but complain.

He was genuinely intimidated when Bruto mentioned the ten most powerful families that controlled the world's mafia, and he thought he had messed with something extraordinary.

This is clearly taking advantage of his lack of understanding of the world.

However, we still need to be vigilant.

There's a section for querying information at the end of the email; you can check there to see who will accept the task and "invite" you.

"What a disappointment." Kevin had been looking forward to having a good time exploring this big city.

……

Inside the hospital room, Wright lay on a private hospital bed. He had only broken a few bones and had not suffered any fatal injuries.

At this point, they had booked most of the hospital, and the people lying there were all gang members who had been punched away one by one by Kevin.
