Hunter x Hunter: Call Me Master Inventor

Kim Freecss pushed the business card toward von Clay, and Yinda curiously leaned over to take a peek:

"Iksombai, is that right?"

Yinda had an impression of this name:

"He seems to have passed the Hunter Exam within the last two years, right?"

"Moreover, after obtaining his hunter's license, this guy vanished without a trace."

"Even the master who wanted to find him and teach him Nen was unable to find a trace of him."

"It's as if they vanished from the world into thin air."

"However, it seems that he had already shown some signs of having Nen ability when he participated in the Hunter Exam."

"Considering that this might be an effect of his Nen ability, the Hunter Association did not investigate further after filing the report."

Yes, so much so that the Hunter Association and his Nen instructors couldn't find him anywhere in the world.

This was quite a topic of conversation within the professional hunter community at the time, making people remember this particular figure.

As for this familiar name, von Clay happened to know roughly what kind of person this guy was.

From this perspective, the business card that Kim Freecss handed to himself doesn't seem to have any problems.

But~

Von Klay did not reach out to take it.

"Let's make this clear beforehand."

He looked at King Freecss and chuckled:

"If I join, what will I need to do?"

"For example, what kind of assistance would you provide for your specific task?"

"I always like to be upfront about the unpleasant aspects..."

"What kind of 'ugly talk' is that?!"

Kim Freecss rolled his eyes.

"This is just a small circle of hunters who are all fairly capable and can help each other."

"If anyone needs help, they can call for help from inside."

"Of course, you'll need to negotiate the payment yourself when asking someone for help."

Whether it succeeds or not depends entirely on yourselves; I'm just providing a platform.

Kim Freecss spoke very frankly:

"Even I, if I need the help of hunters with special abilities for some of the follow-up work, will call for help from inside."

"Of course, I will definitely offer a decent reward."

Isn't this just like a job placement platform?!

It's just that the job seekers have been replaced by skilled hunters.

In essence, nothing has changed!

Ging Freecss specifically created this hunter circle, this so-called network of connections and relationships, isn't that it?!

"So, can I understand it as~?"

von Klay smiled and looked at him:

"You think highly of me, which is why you specifically sent me this invitation?"

"nonsense."

Kim Freecss said irritably:

"Even if a regular professional hunter joined, they wouldn't be able to make any difference."

"Just like this big guy, Indah~"

Kim Freecss gave an example on the spot.

"While I do think highly of him, he's not qualified yet."

"So I won't give you my business card for now."

"Let's talk about it later."

He said this to Yinda as a matter of course.

Yinda: "..."

I really want to thank you, but you didn't have to say it so bluntly.

So, do you want it or not?

Kim Freecss held the card in his hand.

"If you don't want it, then I'll have to take it..."

Whoosh!

"If that's the case..."

Von Klay readily and quickly took the business card, then promptly put it away.

"I can't let your kindness go to waste."

von Clay's lips curled into a slight smile:

"It's all for the sake of promoting the Hunter Association's progress and development, and bringing a better era and environment to this world!!"

Kim Freecss: "..."

He suddenly realized that this guy, von Clay, might have a lot in common with that disgusting fellow named Pariston.

He always likes to find some high-sounding reasons and excuses to cover up his true purpose and thoughts.

Of course, there are still differences between the two.

Pariston is the kind of guy who always has a smile on his face, and no one knows what his hidden motives are, making him extremely wary.

As for von Clay, while he also tries to conceal things, it's more about a feeling that you know something but are powerless to do anything about it.

The two are somewhat of opposites, one in the open and one in the shadows; strictly speaking, they might even clash.

Kim Freecss then began to fill in the blanks with his imagination.

However, now that he had given out the business card, he had achieved his goal.

Immediately, he was about to start kicking people out again:

"I will stay here for the next period of time until I have sorted out my thoughts and solved the problems of these two little heads."

"By then, I think you, von Clay, had pretty much hitched a ride with those guys and would know what kind of work I was doing."

When talking about his achievement, Kim Freecss said with great confidence:

"You'll be very surprised then, and you'll look at me with new respect!!"

"You'll be very surprised then, and you'll look at me with new respect!!"

He grinned, and his previously rather lazy eyes instantly became incredibly bright.

Head held high, chest out, eyes sparkling, it was as if this was his original, radiant demeanor.

After all, he's only in his early twenties!

That confident and high-spirited demeanor left Yinda completely stunned.

Even von Clay could feel the overwhelming personal charisma of Kim Freecss.

Well, although this guy is indeed a complete jerk in some ways.

However, it must be admitted that his personal charm makes many people regard him as a companion to whom they can entrust their lives.

Currently, the relationship between von Clay and Kim Freecss has not reached that level.

It remains to be seen whether the two will have the opportunity to work together again in the near future.

But now...

"Yes, the game 'Greed Island' that you developed is indeed a groundbreaking work."

Von Clay looked at King Freecss and praised him sincerely:

"I'll definitely play it properly once it's released."

Kim Freecss's smile froze instantly.

Bon Clay was not intentionally trying to provoke King Freecss.

He genuinely believes that Greed Island is a groundbreaking game.

It would be great if real people could personally enter the game and collect cards to complete the levels.

Take the world of von Clay as an example.

The most classic example of a work that allows real-world humans to enter the game world, even if it's just their consciousness entering the game, is "Sword Art Online".

Then it became a global sensation.

Not to mention in this era when the Internet is just emerging.
