He grabbed Gon and looked at the others. "You guys stay here and don't act rashly. I... I have some personal matters to take care of." "Ging
He grabbed Gon and looked at the others.
"You guys stay here and don't act rashly. I... I have some personal matters to take care of."
"Ging... Kite... Kite..."
Looking at Gon, Ging felt more troubled than he would facing a thousand enemies.
He didn't have his usual calm reasoning skills. Although he tried to remain calm, his eyebrows, raised involuntarily due to nervousness, betrayed his inner turmoil.
"Stay here and don't wander around. I'll be back soon."
With that, Ging grabbed Gon and suddenly jumped away, disappearing.
He probably went to find a relatively quiet place for the two of them to talk! Ging and Gon were gone.
The gossip was over.
The others reluctantly turned away, each with a faint smile on their face.
The show was over. Knuckle and Shoot continued to prepare, resting and conserving their energy.
But at that moment, Morel's phone rang.
Beep! Beep! Beep! "Hello! Knov, how is it going? Have you infiltrated?"
Morel answered the phone.
But as soon as he finished speaking, his expression turned grim.
It became extremely unpleasant.
Soon, Morel hung up the phone.
Seeing Morel's terrible expression, the others became worried.
"Master, what's wrong?" Knuckle asked, looking at Morel.
Morel looked at Knuckle.
He didn't know how to say it.
"Knov can't infiltrate!"
Shoot was puzzled.
"Because the Ants have used En! to cover the entire palace, and even a large area outside the palace!"
To cover the entire palace with En! How terrifying was the range of that En! Knuckle jumped to his feet. "Master, you're not kidding, are you?"
Morel wanted to say he was joking, but Knov had told him that for sure. He couldn't be wrong.
"It's Neferpitou, one of the King's Royal Guards!"
Loki dusted off his white cloak.
He looked up at the palace.
"Since we can't infiltrate with En, then we'll have to find a way to lure that guard out."
The time-pressed extermination team was finally carrying out their plan, step by step.
Although the process wasn't smooth, it was generally going well.
At least they had reached the final step: allowing Knov to set up the entrance to his four-dimensional mansion inside the palace in advance.
That had been completed.
Knov's final destination was the same as in the original story.
As he was about to continue, Youpi appeared.
Although he hadn't seen Youpi, just sensing Youpi's malicious Nen was enough to stop Knov from proceeding any further.
However, unlike in the original story, Knov hadn't been completely demoralized by Youpi's aura.
Because he had witnessed Loki and Netero's battle beforehand.
His mental fortitude had greatly improved.
The final plan had been completed.
There was only one and a half days left.
After waiting for Koruto to send back as much information as possible, they would launch the operation.
Now, all they had to do was wait.
However, while the plan was proceeding smoothly, Ging faced the most difficult choice of his life.
Gon! Refused to go back, no matter what.
He insisted on joining the extermination team.
Even if Ging didn't allow him to join, Gon stubbornly said that he would go to the palace alone to find Kite.
Gon's determination to find his companion, even in the face of death, was admirable.
But he was too weak.
Against the Chimera Ants, he probably couldn't even beat a squad leader.
Under these circumstances, Ging couldn't agree to let Gon go.
But if he forced Gon to stay, Gon might feel guilty and unable to let go for the rest of his life.
Although Ging hadn't had much contact with his son, he knew this well.
Because he was his son.
On one side was Gon's safety, and on the other was Gon living with guilt for the rest of his life.
Which was more important? This made Ging recall the exam he had faced during the Hunter Exam.
'Your son and daughter have been captured by villains. You can only save one. Who do you save?' Although Ging had passed the exam, he couldn't come up with an answer.
Silence! That was his answer when he passed.
Faced with Gon's request, Ging also chose silence.
However, Gon wouldn't change his mind.
So, in the end, Ging silently relented.
Returning to the platform on the tree, Ging's expression wasn't good.
Gon also looked grim.
The two of them were so somber that the others, who wanted to ask what had happened, silently closed their mouths.
"Ging! Knov sent a message. He's set up the entrance to the four-dimensional mansion. We can move at any time."
After saying that, Morel glanced at Razor. "But because we needed to draw the enemy away so Knov could infiltrate, Loki went out and lured the enemy out. Although there was no actual fighting, the enemy must be on guard."
Ging nodded. "There are always gains and losses. It's good that we were able to complete the plan smoothly. There's nothing we can do if the enemy is prepared."
Seeing that Ging said so, Morel had nothing more to say.
As long as they could successfully eliminate the Chimera Ants, that was enough.
Loki had already returned.
He saw that Ging and Gon both looked unhappy, so he didn't say much.
He sat alone at the top of the tree, watching the setting sun.
Loki's thoughts drifted far away.
Far away.
Outside East Gorteau.
As the Hunters and Nen users who had escaped from East Gorteau returned to the outside world, various pieces of information were constantly being spread.
Even the Hunter Association couldn't suppress it.
Of course, it wasn't being spread to ordinary people. The news was spreading quickly among the Nen users.
The Hunters in the Hunter Association were questioning whether the Association could handle this situation while the Chairman was unconscious. In the eyes of Hunters who didn't understand the situation, it was just an invasion by unknown creatures.
Could the Association not handle it?
Were the Zodiacs, other than Netero, just for show? The reason for this question was the defeat of the first extermination team, led by Kanzai and the others.
From the Hunter Association being attacked by Loki, to the Chairman being injured and remaining unconscious, to two Zodiac members being killed...
The culprit still hadn't been caught.
This was a great shame for the entire Hunter Association, for all professional Hunters.
Now that this had happened again, the Hunter Association had completely lost face.
Many Hunters were even clamoring for a new Chairman election, to find a Chairman who could make the Hunter Association stronger and better.
But holding a Chairman election at this time was practically suicide.
Wouldn't that give the government a legitimate reason to interfere in the Association's affairs?
Helpless, Cheadle could only announce that Ging and Razor had formed an extermination team.
Ging's name still shut up many Hunters.
Although Ging's reputation wasn't good, the Hunters in the Association still recognized his strength as one of the world's top five Nen users.
But the matter didn't end there.
The person who had escaped from East Gorteau and seen Loki spread the information about Loki in East Gorteau.
The reason for spreading it was simple.
Any information about Loki was extremely valuable.
This news originally wasn't anything special.
After all, there weren't many bounty hunters who wanted to capture Loki.
