But in this special period...
Things were different.
"Loki... that Loki who attacked the Hunter Association... he's also in East Gorteau? Is he also targeting the Chimera Ants?"
At an intelligence point that only catered to Nen users, a professional bounty hunter saw this news and was enraged.
"If that person wanted by the Hunter Association solves a problem that the Association can't handle, we professional Hunters will be too embarrassed to call ourselves Hunters from now on!"
The man said loudly.
The other Hunters and non-Hunter Nen users at the intelligence point looked up at him.
The muscular man tore up the intelligence report.
"If the Association can't solve it, then we'll handle it ourselves. Are we professional Hunters worse than a wanted criminal?!"
"Anyone want to join me? Eliminate the Chimera Ants and capture Loki! Let the Association see that the Hunter Association isn't useless without Chairman Netero!"
"What Zodiacs, what Ging and Razor... they're all old-fashioned Hunters. It's time to show them the power of us rookies!"
The professional Hunter who shouted those words was named Chris.
He was considered the strongest of the new generation of Hunters.
Although the number of Hunters wasn't too high, any Hunter who hadn't made any contributions was basically considered a rookie.
These rookies generally weren't very strong.
The truly talented rookies had already made a name for themselves.
However, the Hunters who hadn't made any contributions but were still called "rookies" didn't think so.
They felt that the older Hunters had stolen the opportunities that should have belonged to them.
The world was only so big.
There were only so many opportunities.
The Hunters who had become professional Hunters all possessed a certain level of Nen talent.
They believed that they were talented and deserved to shine.
The reason they were unknown was because too many older Hunters had taken all the opportunities, leaving the "rookies" with no chance to prove themselves.
They didn't think they were weaker than the older Hunters.
In fact, Hunters like Chris, who had been in the Hunter Association for over a decade, believed they were already very strong.
So this time, in the eyes of Hunters like him, was a great opportunity.
Since the famous Hunters in the Association couldn't do it, they, the rookies who hadn't had a chance to shine, would prove them wrong.
Chris's words ignited the fighting spirit of many Hunters at the intelligence point.
"That's right! What monster Loki? He's just a kid. What use is his power if he can't use it?!"
"Exactly! Those useless Zodiacs are in charge of the Association. Hmph! If it were me, I would have sent a large number of Hunters to deal with the Chimera Ants and Loki!"
One by one, the Hunters, driven by fame, money, and the desire to prove themselves, echoed Chris's words!
Chris looked at the crowd gathering around him.
"Good! This is our chance, the rookies' chance, to make a name for ourselves!"
"We'll continue to call on more rookies to join us!"
"The invading creatures, Loki... we'll take care of them all!"
Chris's call to action had begun! Hunters around the world received Chris's invitation.
Some remained rational, but many were swayed.
After all, if they could really deal with the Chimera Ants and Loki...
The rewards would be immense.
Fame, wealth... they could have it all.
In just one night, almost a third of the Hunters, regardless of their reasons, had joined Chris's team.
Hundreds of professional Hunters gathered, creating a powerful force.
Many non-Hunter Nen users also joined the Hunter Association's massive extermination army.
The hundreds-strong team gathered in a town near the East Gorteau border.
There was only one day left until the time Loki, Ging, and the others were scheduled to begin their operation.
Hearing the news that this self-organized extermination team of Hunter Association members was about to take action, Cheadle was furious.
She had explicitly told all the Hunters not to go to East Gorteau without permission.
It was home to dangerous creatures.
But at this time, the Chairman's influence was evident.
If Netero were alive, a single word from him would have been enough to make the members of the Hunter Association obey, even if they were dissatisfied.
Because Netero himself was a legend among Nen users.
The strongest Nen user in the world at one time.
But now... Cheadle, as a Zodiac, didn't have the same influence as Netero.
If two Zodiac members hadn't been killed by Loki and Chrollo, the Zodiacs would still have been very authoritative.
But the deaths of two Zodiac members had greatly diminished the Zodiacs' authority in the Association.
The culprit still hadn't been caught.
Under these circumstances, even if Cheadle issued orders in the name of the Association, they would have no effect.
Cheadle sat in her office.
She almost wanted to smash the computer in front of her.
"Those idiots! They're all so self-righteous! Do they really think the Chimera Ants and Loki are easy to deal with?!"
"They should look in the mirror! Guys who haven't even completed basic training are running off to join the fun!"
"A hopeless bunch of idiots!"
Cheadle's rage made the Bean sigh helplessly.
The Bean even thought, 'If Ging-san were here, he wouldn't be angry in this situation. He would calmly analyze the situation and its origins!'
"Cheadle-san, please calm down. Could there be something strange about this?" the Bean asked.
Cheadle couldn't calm down at all. "Strange? What's strange? Those idiots are just going to die!"
Seeing that Cheadle was constantly complaining and couldn't calm down, the Bean could only silently leave and report the situation to Ging on the front lines.
Already troubled by Gon, Ging became even more annoyed after receiving the news from the Bean.
Ging didn't know how to solve this problem.
Should he stop those people from going there? They didn't have much time left. Just carrying out the extermination plan was taking up all his energy.
Unable to think of a solution, Ging ended his communication with the Bean.
He looked at the others, their faces grave.
They had naturally heard the previous conversation.
The phone wasn't quiet.
Morel and Knov sighed helplessly.
"Just carrying out the plan was already a headache. Now these idiots are coming," Morel said.
Now, not only Morel, but even the usually calm Knov sounded heavy. "Ging-san, it seems we have to start the plan early. Otherwise, our hard-earned plan might be disrupted."
Hearing their words, Ging looked up at Loki, who was sitting quietly on the top of the tree. "Loki, what do you think we should do?"
A large number of Hunter Association members had gathered, deciding on their own to exterminate the Chimera Ants.
Although the Bean, while relaying the message, had only said that they were coming for the Chimera Ants, considering Loki's presence...
He hadn't mentioned that they were also hostile towards Loki.
But even if the Bean hadn't relayed those words "accurately," Loki didn't believe that the Hunters who were coming to East Gorteau had only one goal.
Loki could sense that this matter wasn't as simple as the Bean had said.
The Hunter Association was a very free organization.
Its cohesion wasn't very strong.
Almost a third of the Hunters had gathered overnight.
Loki didn't believe that there was nothing behind this.
Someone must have been pushing things to make them turn out this way.
And these assembled Hunters seemed to be below average in strength.
Then, their coming to exterminate the Chimera Ants was practically suicide.
Thinking this, Loki smiled faintly.
He jumped lightly from the top of the tree and landed on the platform.
