Hunter x Hunter: Call Me Master Inventor

"You need to understand, there are far too many vested interests involved in the mining industry here..."

von Claydot:

"Anyone who profits from this industry chain won't just stand by and watch you act recklessly here."

"They will do everything they can to stop you..."

"So what?!"

Mitchell blurted out:

"If I were only here out of fear, I wouldn't have come here in the first place!!"

His eyes were incredibly firm.

"Even when I started down this path, I had already considered the dangers and difficulties involved."

"But I won't give up, I'll keep going!!"

The way von Klay looked at him:

"I have no doubt about that."

"I can sense your inner thoughts, awareness, and beliefs."

"But that's not what I meant..."

von Clay shook his head slightly:

"If there are difficulties, just overcome them; otherwise, what kind of difficulties are they?"

What I'm trying to express is the most fundamental difference between you and them.

"I just want to ask you one question~"

von Klay looked at Mitzuston:

"Would you ever resort to illegal means when gathering evidence or apprehending criminals...?"

"Absolutely not!!"

Before von Clay could finish speaking, Mitchellston shook his head without hesitation.

"I am a lawyer! A lawyer who upholds the law!!"

As a lawyer and a crime hunter, I would never do anything illegal or disorderly.

Even if doing so would greatly facilitate his search for evidence and arrest of criminals, he would absolutely not do it.

Some things are like Pandora's box.

Once it's opened, it can never be closed again.

For someone who upholds the law, there is absolutely no way he would cross this bottom line.

This is something more important than his life.

"As expected~"

Von Clay looked completely unsurprised:

"You are indeed able to stay true to yourself and your own will."

"But that's precisely why your actions will be even more difficult."

"And more importantly~"

von Clay said softly:

"You yourself wouldn't take such a approach, but the enemies you'll be facing are ruthless and unscrupulous."

"They will use any means necessary to stop you, to control you, even to the point of eliminating you."

"Even though I know you're not afraid of such challenges..."

Seeing that Milstein was about to say something, von Clay shook his head and interrupted him:

"But I don't have a high opinion of your actions and the future outcome in this matter."

"You have your own bottom line that you insist on and that cannot be broken, but your enemies don't care at all."

"One is to impose constraints on oneself, the other is to do whatever one pleases without restraint..."

"Well then, I can only wish you good luck."

Von Klay once again expressed his skepticism.

And that's exactly what ultimately happened.

Anida's father, in the end, wasn't taken to court by Mizziston.

Instead, he was assassinated by members of the Zoldyck family.

This practice of double-crossing and resorting to violence to destroy the Spicy Mountain mining industry was the only way to end it.

In retrospect, it's quite ironic.

"I will win!"

With a tap of your finger, you can instantly travel to the wonderful world of Chapter 108, "A Road with No End."

Mitchellston's determination remained as firm as ever.

Even though he knew that what von Clay said was true and that he was being kind and friendly in a roundabout way to remind him.

But he remained unwavering and stubbornly insisted on doing this.

"Some things just have to be done by someone."

Mitchell clenched his fists and said, word by word.

"I agree with that, but~"

Von Clay glanced at him, then looked up at the distant sky:

"This shouldn't have been your job."

Yes, even Mitchellston could clearly see the harm and evil brought about by the ore in such a spicy mountain.

Von Clay absolutely refused to believe that the higher-ups in the V5 organization would be unaware, unclear, or ignorant of this.

Unless they are all blind and deaf, but that is obviously impossible.

They turned a blind eye and did nothing, even pretending not to see it.

Perhaps they also have a share of the profits from this spicy mountain.

They are also part of the chain of interests.

They might only be able to deal with Spicy Mountain once they've squeezed all their profits dry.

Then they can take this opportunity to expose the crimes of Spicy Mountain to the public, and then act on behalf of the righteous side.

Once again, they reaped positive publicity through Spicy Mountain, extracting the last remaining value from it.

Everything was so perfect.

If Mitchellston wanted to make a move against Spicy Mountain at this time...

Perhaps, besides the resistance from within Spicy Mountain itself...

"You may even face pressure from within the Hunter Association."

"How is this possible?!"

Mitchell frowned, still somewhat skeptical.

"You need to understand that this world isn't just about black and white..."

Von Clay looked at Mizeston's attire and smiled:

"Perhaps it's just a delicate ash."

A delicate...

Is it gray?

Mitzusten pondered von Clay's words, and the more he thought about it, the more it seemed...

It seems to make more sense than it appears!

"I think the final outcome of this heinous farce is..."

Von Clay turned away, leaving Mitchell with his final words:

"It will end in a vicious cycle of assassination, where the thieves devour the thieves and violence reigns supreme."

Sometimes, the forces of justice are far more effective than the forces of the dark world.

Mitchellston's brows were almost twisted into a knot.

He didn't quite agree with that explanation.

He wanted to retort again, but suddenly realized that von Clay had already walked away.

"Who are you?!"

Mitchellston asked in a loud voice.

"My name is von Clay, and I am an 'inventor'."

A faint sound came from afar.

von Clay...

"inventor"?!

Mitchellston went over the name in his mind several times, but he couldn't make any impression on it.

He was certain he had never heard of this person before.

"And... he calls himself an 'inventor,' which means..."

Just as the thought crossed Mizaston's mind, he heard a soft voice drifting from afar:

"If you encounter danger, take those pills immediately. They might save your life in a critical moment..."

A faint, almost inaudible sound drifted by, and then vanished completely.
