"You didn't have to come."
"You can't get any satisfaction from him because to him, you are just a tool from beginning to end. He never regards you as a human being, so naturally he has no emotions He will abandon you after using you. The reason why he wants to kill you is not because he hates you but after he leaves the human world and goes to the Dark Continent, your existence may cause some accidents."
"Everything he did was part of a long-planned plan, and you were just one part of it."
In the palace of the Kakin Empire, Ging, the current president of the association, appeared in a living room and spoke to the man who was sitting alone on the sofa watching the TV screen.
"Come back with me," Ging urged.
"Oh?"
Pariston turned around on the sofa and smiled. "Are you here to invite me? Or are you here to see me being killed? I thought you always hated me"
"I can't say I hate you, I just can't get along with people like you. You resigned as vice president simply because the association became boring after the death of the president and you wanted to create an opportunity for Oboro and I to face off. But after the ant incident, he never came back and didn't show up in the association. So, your hope was dashed." Ging's eyes narrowed slightly. "If you want to become the president, you don't necessarily have to return to the association to compete with me. I believe he's already fully confident that he can beat me."
Ging stepped forward and said calmly, "Considering what happened between him and Beyond, he will definitely come back Because Beyond is similar to you, but killing Beyond will not only stabilize the situation on the Hunter Association side, but also make V5 retreat or be afraid. Most importantly, today is a live broadcast to the world This is also the stage he needs."
Ging stared at the pictures on TV, her eyes flickering with concern.
At this time, Beyond's speech had ended, but Nasubi was still going on.
Even though the two were in the palace, they could still hear the faint cheers of the huge crowd coming from outside the window.
This seemed to be a day of celebration for Kakin.
"I heard your son is in a very bad condition now As a father, is it really okay for you to just ignore him?" Pariston changed the subject without changing his expression.
"The association is doing its best to treat Gon. I heard that the kid from the Zoldyck family has a way and has already started taking action."
"You secretly transported away 5,000 chimera ant eggs, right?"
Ging answered the question irrelevantly and looked at him, her face unreadable.
"Um."
Pariston nodded and did not hide it.
"Well."
Hearing this answer, Ging scratched her head and frowned, "What on earth are you thinking? Do you really want the whole world to hate you?"
"How could that be? I like you all, I like everyone I am not an enemy of anyone, I love them all." Pariston smiled with narrowed eyes.
"That's because in your eyes, everyone is a toy, a plaything that can provide you with emotional value, so you deformedly love everyone. In your eyes, there is no winner or loser you just enjoy the satisfaction of mind control, making everyone realize that without your permission, they can't achieve any goal you are a contradiction who gloats over other people's misfortunes." Ging directly stripped away his hypocritical mask.
"Then why did you invite me?"
Pariston's smile faded and his face remained expressionless.
"Honestly, I know I'm not suitable to be the president Although you're a terrible person, your diplomacy and speech skills, as well as your sensitivity and control over political power, are among the best in the entire association. This is also the reason why the old man made you the second-in-command. If it weren't for your bad personality, you would be the most qualified person to be the president." Ging spoke truthfully. "The problem is that your life has had no purpose or goal since day one. All your actions and behaviors are to satisfy yourself."
"You really understand me."
There was a cold light in Pariston's eyes, and something else lurked behind his words.
"He will definitely come! Come with me."
Ging looked at the screen on the TV and said in a deep voice, "Even the entire Kakin royal family, plus Beyond can't stop him."
"Seeking protection from V5?"
Pariston saw Ging's intention, turned his head to look at the TV, and said calmly: "It's useless No one can save me. My end is doomed. As long as I am still in the human world, there is nowhere to hide. It doesn't matter where I die, and I think at least today, here It's more interesting, isn't it?"
""
"All of you, including Oboro, may think that I am compromising or giving in by supporting him as the president. But that is not the case In my opinion, people like Oboro are truly suitable to lead the Hunter Association."
Pariston bowed slightly, crossed his fingers, and said in a rare serious tone: "With him here, the association will not go down the old path being controlled by V5 all the time, and can completely break free of control. This time, Kakin is preparing to march into the Dark Continent, and V5 will definitely dump the mess on you again and you won't refuse. If the president were still here, he might be able to take a tougher attitude and turn against V5 but it's only this time, and it won't change the nature of the situation."
"You and the president are both incapable, including myself, but Oboro can do it I originally thought that after he became the president, I would still be the vice president, so that the association would be more interesting. However, now it seems that his plan is coming to an end, and I am no longer useful in his eyes What a pity. I was planning to have some fun with him"
Pariston sighed, a hint of genuine disappointment in his voice.
Ging remained silent.
She knew very well that Pariston had feelings for the association and the president.
That's why she wanted to keep him.
Pariston would cause chaos, but he would not destroy the Hunter Association.
However, the latter couldn't control the desire that grew in his heart that innate nature.
From the time Pariston became the vice president until now, the casualty rate of the Hunter Association members had reached its highest peak in history. This showed what this man had done in private
Distortion distortion caused by personality.
"What are you up to?" Ging asked.
She could tell that Pariston had already accepted the fact of his death.
He wasn't going to escape, and he didn't want to escape.
But given his character, he would definitely satisfy himself at the cost of his own death.
Judging from Ging's understanding of Pariston and his usual style, the only possibility was to destroy Oboro's purpose to make him dislike and hate him.
So it would be impossible to go to the Dark Continent.
"Very exciting, wait and see"
Pariston stretched out a finger and said mysteriously, a look of anticipation and excitement crossing his face.
"You won't succeed."
Ging felt that lobbying was hopeless and gave up the idea completely.
Pariston was also very familiar with Oboro's character but there was one thing: he underestimated the level that Oboro could reach now.
That kind of soul-related Nen ability.
In terms of attainment in Nen, Ging believed that Oboro could surpass Pariston, so based on this point, Ging had a more thorough understanding of Nen, while Pariston obviously did not see the essence of it.
The soul could do so many things.
The key was that Oboro was also qualified to develop this ability to the extreme.
"You didn't tell him"
Ging glanced at Beyond's figure that flashed across the screen and said lightly.
If Kakin and Beyond knew how dangerous Oboro was, they would never dare to conduct such a blatant live broadcast to the world.
"Why would I want to say it?"
Pariston smiled.
He and Beyond were obviously partners
But the lack of this intelligence was enough to destroy Beyond and the Kakin Empire.
"Really."
Ging shook her head.
Beyond was tricked
Pariston's purpose in doing this was very obvious. He wanted Beyond to curse himself before his death and let the entire Kakin royal family realize that he was Oboro's accomplice.
Let all the protagonists on this big stage hate him before he died.
For Pariston, this was simply not very enjoyable.
And now, even if Ging wanted to stop it, it was too late
The reason why he expressed his opinion only now was that Pariston didn't want her to interfere.
There was no word beforehand it was kept too secret.
Asshole!
At this time, in an area within the capital of Kakin.
That was the live broadcast venue.
Countless people gathered here to give their king's speech the most enthusiastic cheers.
"That unknown territory is a rich land!"
"With abundant resources and inexhaustible food, the prosperous future of mankind lies dormant on that land, waiting for us to collect it."
In addition to the huge screens broadcasting Nasubi's gloomy expression, the loudspeakers also carried his speech to every corner, echoing in the sky.
"Ohhhh!"
The surging sea of people became restless, with waves of noise coming one after another.
No one doubted his words.
After all, there was Beyond Netero, a successful person who had set foot on that land before He was the descendant of Netero, the former president of the Hunter Association, and he himself had an experienced expedition team, as well as funding and strength from the country, so he was quite well prepared.
"Carrying the dreams of all mankind, Kakin will mobilize the entire country to head to the Dark Continent!"
When he got excited, Nasubi Hui Guo Rou let out a shout.
He thought he would be greeted with endless cheers and applause.
But something was wrong
After he made the announcement, the shouts from the crowd below seemed to begin to weaken, and then the boiling scene became quiet, and the people went from being excited to being numb, standing there with dull eyes.
Only outside the venue, in a very far corner, were there some sparse echoes, but because of the distance, they were not very clear.
The atmosphere seemed to suddenly shift dramatically
From a hot furnace, it suddenly became an ice cellar.
"Um?"
Nasubi was stunned, looking down at the crowd standing below, and noticed something strange about the people.
At the same time, Beyond behind him slowly stood up from the posture he had been sitting on a big chair.
His eyes were shining, as if he had sensed something, and he opened his mouth in a cold smile.
"Go to the Dark Continent?"
"Who gave permission?"
"The Dark Continent is a forbidden land for humans. It is full of disasters and unknown terrors. Ever since humans came to the land in the center of the lake to establish a country and civilization, in every era there have been powerful countries or humans who wanted to get their hands on that land, but in the end they all died."
Suddenly, an unfamiliar voice was heard from the loudspeaker system at the scene.
At this moment, all the viewers who were watching this worldwide live broadcast were shocked by this sudden change.
Judging from the expression on Nasubi's face, this was obviously not a situation that the Kakin royal family had arranged or anticipated in advance.
Someone had broken in!
"It's Oboro!"
At the Hunter Association headquarters, the Twelve Zodiacs, led by Ging, were stunned at the images and sounds on the TV.
The association held a memorial ceremony for Netero, but Oboro didn't come back to participate He was actually in the Kakin Empire?
Originally, the Twelve Zodiacs were unaware of Kakin's plan to march into the Dark Continent, including Beyond's identity. However, Ging gave them a heads-up in advance, saying that a major event might happen in the Kakin Empire, and Netero also gave the Bean-Faced Man a videotape, reminding Beyond of something.
So, they could see this scene now.
Not just the Twelve Zodiacs.
Also seeing this situation were V5 and other organizations in various countries that were extremely sensitive to the international situation.
Although V5 blocked some signal sources in time, there were still many people who witnessed the live broadcast.
In the square which covered an astonishing area, the crowd slowly parted.
Oboro, dressed in a black suit and holding a microphone, walked out slowly.
Facing a row of black spots on the high slope.
"You don't meet the four conditions of contract, means, qualifications, and permission to go to the Dark Continent."
Oboro was talking to himself.
And moved forward step by step.
At this moment, people all over the world were thinking, "Who is this man?"
"Going to the Dark Continent recklessly will bring destruction to humanity Maybe humans in the future can do it, but not now."
"The national organization headed by V5 issued a treaty a long time ago, prohibiting humans from setting foot on that land."
"This is Kakin not V5's territory."
Above, Nasubi was extremely calm and said coolly, "No one else needs to care about what we do."
"Besides, what position do you have to say this?"
"There wasn't any before, but now there is."
Oboro smiled, "Today, I am here as a member of the Dark Continent, uninvited Since you want to conquer that land, why don't you try to conquer me first? If you can't even handle me, how can you set foot on that land?"
"You? Dark Continent?"
Nasubi thought that Oboro was deliberately making things mysterious in order to ruin the carnival of the Kakin Empire.
"Yes, I think you have already prepared yourself for death, right?"
After saying this, Oboro threw away the microphone.
Because the big screen in the square had gone black, the people from the Kakin royal family reacted quickly and cut off the live broadcast signal.
But it didn't matter. His words had already spread.
Heard by the outside world.
"Oboro, you really are not at all restless You could have survived, but you dared to come to the capital of Kakin alone. You are coming here for me, right? Revenge?" Beyond stepped forward, walked past Nasubi, and suddenly laughed at Oboro below.
At the same time, a terrifying aura burst out from him.
For today's major event, the Kakin Empire's defensive forces were extremely powerful. Not to mention the Fells Family, even the V5 armed forces couldn't intervene.
So both Beyond and Nasubi were very sure that Oboro had sneaked in alone.
Although it disrupted the progress of the plan a little, it was not a big problem.
Because Oboro was now alone in their base camp!
"Kneel down!"
The next second, Beyond's sensory system suddenly failed.
He knelt on the ground uncontrollably and lowered his head.
Almost in an instant, Oboro had mysteriously swept from the square below to Beyond's front and asked in a cold voice.
At the same time, a pair of black leather shoes stepped on the head of Beyond who was kneeling on the ground, and stepped hard.
"Don't think too highly of yourself In my eyes, you are nothing."
"I was just passing by, moving around and cleaning up some dirty stuff."
The soles of Oboro's feet slowly pressed down.
Beyond's body also dropped down, with his forehead pressed firmly against the cold ground.
"Ahhhhhh!"
At this moment, Beyond's muscles were trembling, his face was covered with sweat, and he was roaring at the top of his lungs, exuding an astonishing aura, as if he wanted to struggle.
But no matter how he resisted, it was useless Oboro's leather shoes still stepped on him lightly.
"Shut up."
Oboro said something.
Immediately afterwards, Beyond's soul trembled.
His eyes were dull.
The Nen he released disappeared and the whole person was forced into a state of extinction.
Why?How could it be?
Before he could think about it, blood suddenly burst out of his mouth.
He actually bit off his tongue! Just because Oboro conveyed his will to "shut up".
He did so.
Same as the 'kneel down' in the previous sentence.
"Let's go downstairs and keep Netero company"
After he finished speaking, Oboro's feet landed on the ground with a thud.
Like a loud thunderclap, huge cracks spread across the ground. Beyond's taller and stronger body was like a sandbag that had been hit hard. It pierced through the ground and sank deep into the soil, disappearing without a trace.
"I just walked around the edge of the coastline. I didn't even see the 'door' What are you so proud of?"
The earth shook and the rocks and soil crumbled.
Oboro said expressionlessly.
