Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World

"Now we must figure out how to deal with the Shadow Force, rescue Chairman Netero, and minimize the harm and impact."

Halfway through her speech, Miyo Ginta, who was also present, raised his hand to signal, and Kita stopped talking.

"What is this dark record book that the other party mentioned?"

"Can we exchange this for the chairman?"

Yintai said with a slightly confused look, in his heart Chairman Netero's life was undoubtedly worth countless times more than any record book.

Chairman Netero's life is what matters!

"No, we cannot make that dark record book public."

Kito shook her head, disagreeing with Ginta's suggestion.

"why?"

The hot-tempered Kang Jae angrily rebuked him.

As members of the Twelve Earthly Branches, we all took on this position out of respect and love for Chairman Netero.

Why put Chairman Netero in danger when there's such a simple method available?

Therefore, Kang Jae, who was already easily angered, was even more unable to suppress his inner rage.

"Excuse me, let me explain this." The bean-faced man stepped forward to explain.

"After the other party broadcast the live stream, the Hunter Association received a meeting invitation from V5 countries."

“One thing was clear during the meeting: the Dark Book must not be made public.”

"This is a price that neither the Hunter Association nor the V5 nations can afford."

The bean-faced man, unlike his usual calm demeanor, became very serious.

"What exactly is written inside? How could it have such a huge impact after being made public?" Gai Lu frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask directly.

Even among the twelve Earthly Branches, not everyone knows this hidden fact.

Those who know about the Dark Book now are either senior figures who lived through those eras, such as Bisge.

Either they hold high positions and have someone specifically tasked with understanding them, like Kim.

Only a handful of people are familiar with or have even heard of the Dark Record Book among the twelve Earthly Branches.

"It describes the dark side of the Hunter Association; they've done quite a few bad things in the past~"

"Of course there are also V5 requirements..."

"..."

The Bean Man gave a general account of the Dark Record Book and the Shadow Army.

After a long while, the field fell into a deathly silence.

Apart from a few Earthly Branches that they had already heard of, the rest of the people were still digesting the amount of information contained in the bean flour people's words.

The Hunter Association also has a Shadow Squad specifically responsible for the dark side?

It's no wonder they didn't know, since the shadowy figures were dealt with decades ago, when some of the twelve earthly branches might have just been born.

Qiduo adjusted her glasses and continued:

"The Dark Book involves too many things."

"If we make it public, the public's trust in V5 and the Hunter Association will decrease, which could easily cause unrest or even more serious problems."

"So this is not only a requirement of V5, but the Hunter Association would also be better off not doing this."

No one spoke up anymore, because it would affect public order and stability, but they still couldn't accept the decision.

They couldn't just stand by and watch Chairman Netero fall into such a dangerous situation... or even die!

“Lynn is still here, he can definitely handle it!” Pjorn suddenly said.

With Lynn there, Chairman Netero should be fine.

“That’s right, I agree with Pjorn. With Lynn there, Chairman Netero will definitely be saved.”

Gail also agreed with Pjorn.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

At that moment, Lynn appeared on the live stream screen!

……

"Hmph, so it's finally appeared?"

"He's got guts, though."

Jade observed Lynn, who had appeared out of nowhere, with sharp eyes, and especially felt the immense force emanating from the long whip.

This guy...

As night fell, the evening wind howled, fluttering Lynn's black cloak.

With a casual squeeze, the long whip made of resentment shattered instantly.

“I’ll return those words to you verbatim.”

"Since you dared to provoke me, it means you were mentally prepared, right?"

Lynn smiled slightly and spoke calmly.

There was not a trace of panic on his face.

Even when faced with Jade's imposing aura head-on, he remained unfazed, a stark contrast to the four members of the group that had been with him earlier.

The audience doesn't know what the thoughts or grievances are, but they can see everyone's expressions and thus judge who is more confident.

Clearly, Lynn must have been very confident to step forward!

Lynn will win!

Jade sized up Lynn.

Netero's words made him put aside some of his contempt; someone who could be called the strongest in the world couldn't be that weak.

"The strongest in the new world? Then let me see your strength!"

Jade suddenly grinned, revealing a bloodthirsty smile. This time, he had come back from the dead, just to cause destruction!

No matter who it is, anyone who dares to stand in his way will only have one fate!

dead!

As Jade's desire for revenge intensified, the resentment emanating from his body grew stronger and darker in color!

"Netero! You watch me closely, if I say I'll tear him to pieces, I mean it!"

Netero couldn't help but shake his head inwardly upon hearing Jade's words.

The person you're up against is Lynn!

"Oh?"

"Do you want to tear me to pieces?"

"Then let's see if you have the ability."

Before his words had even faded, a surge of Nen energy erupted from Lynn's body, instantly unleashing a powerful pressure that enveloped the arena, creating a strong aura and a rapidly rising gale.

Centered on the ground, strong winds blew in all directions, sweeping up thick dust and expanding outwards in concentric circles.

Immediately, even though he was mentally prepared, Jade's expression changed, and he involuntarily stirred up more resentment.

Chapter 239 A+ Level Super Fall Expert! Divine Skill: Hold the Line!

The next moment, boundless and astonishing mental energy and resentment soared into the sky!

Whether they were present or watching from behind their screens, all the Nen users were watching with [Freeze].

That's... the aura possessed only by the strongest experts at the pinnacle of the six continents!

The boundless energy of thought and resentment seemed endless, pouring out like a vast ocean and covering the entire rooftop.

The difference in Nen energy released in just one second is something that 99% of Nen users couldn't achieve even with their full strength.

boom--

Visibly, the pure white spiritual energy and the dark blue resentment collided, forming a clear dividing line in the center, intertwining and causing a violent collision.

The field was filled with strong wind pressure, and gusts of wind howled past, as if they were going to burst people's eardrums or even blow them off the rooftop.

This was most noticeable to Xiao Jie and his three companions—no, it should be said that it was felt by all five of them.

They had retreated to the entrance of the passage and were standing with Hisoka. Although their features were different, they all showed expressions of astonishment.

Even here, they still felt that if they weren't careful, they would be overturned and thrown off by a powerful hurricane.

"That's... Lynn's strength!"

Xiao Jie stared at Lynn, who stood motionless on the field and whose aura even rivaled that of Jade. Although his body was trembling, his eyes grew increasingly firm.

He subconsciously recalled what Hisoka had said to him back in the Heavens Arena.

……

"As I just said, if you fight ten more matches, you might be able to beat me in the Sky Arena."

"But you won't beat Lynn, not even if you play a hundred more games."

These are Hisoka's exact words.

The fact that this fruit farmer took a liking to Xiao Jie speaks volumes about his talent; otherwise, he wouldn't have taken an interest in him. Given time, he's sure to grow into an outstanding individual.

But time doesn't stop, and Lynn is growing too.

Even among good fruits, there are differences in quality.

Lynn is the most prized fruit on the six continents, a unique existence, and there is no other like it in the world.

Therefore, Xiao Jie and Lynn are not comparable at all.

Gon himself is increasingly understanding what Hisoka said; it is true that the gap between him and Lynn is really huge.

Even so, he will do his best to move forward!

He can't compare to Lynn, but he can surpass himself.

"Hehehehe... How terrifying is this..."

Sensing the two terrifying auras, Hisoka subconsciously lowered his body, his muscles tensing involuntarily, and released his Nen.

His gaze never left Lynn and Jade.

Jade was a stranger, so he didn't have many feelings about him. He simply felt that the other party was very strong, and that his premonition was correct. The culprit was indeed not simple.

But Lynn was different.

He had personally witnessed Lynn's growth from B-rank to S-rank, and every time they met again, it brought him great shock.

The last time I saw Lynn was at the end of May last year, the night of the attack on the capital of Reges. At that time, Lynn showed his terrifying strength and wiped out the troupe by himself.

He was deeply shocked by Lynn's terrifying growth rate at that time and guessed that Lynn would continue to grow stronger.

But to his surprise, he still underestimated Lynn...

He wasn't sure what Lynn's current strength was, but he knew that he could still barely move when faced with Lynn's aura last time.

This time, however, even the slightest presence was enough to stiffen his body, leaving him unable to even breathe and suffering greatly.

"If I were in the center of the arena, I'd probably be torn to shreds by that terrifying clash of auras in no time, right?"

Hisoka uttered a heartfelt sigh.

Lynn's title is absolutely true; he is the undisputed "strongest in the world"!

Lynn, back then, has become the strongest in the world!

Kurapika also strongly agreed with his statement:
