Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 155 "The absurdity felt by the ten old men"

Pariston leaned on the railing, his eyes narrowed, like a crescent moon in the night sky.

"Go on. There will be endless troubles following him. It doesn't matter if you are dominated. Gather up your courage and approach him."

The ease in Pariston's words was as if he was urging Xiyou to go on a date with Germain.

"Huh?" Xiyou's voice became a little higher, and then lowered again, "In this case, even a fool would know that someone is plotting behind the scenes, right?"

"Yeah." Palliston nodded, "Isn't this great?"

"I don't know."

"Haha." Pariston laughed without any laughter. "He is actually the same as us. For him, the most troublesome thing is to be targeted by V5 and President Netero."

"He has the strength and ability. I believe he can see that in the entire six continents, we are the only ones who truly have the power to protect and support him."

"We are of the same kind, he will understand soon enough."

Xiyou muttered for a while on the other end of the phone, and replied: "Okay, okay, I'll give it a try. This time I need some of your resources. If it gets out of control again, don't blame me."
-
half an hour ago.

The island was under a torrential rain. Although it was violent outside, it was peaceful inside. Both men and women had humble smiles on their faces.

Wright Nosra had been invited to this grand dinner, and at this moment he was moving back and forth among the various small circles in the hall, engaging in necessary socializing.

However, the people he really wanted to talk to, especially in front of so many people, were naturally the big shots who had just finished their speeches and returned to the second floor.

The ten old men are the leaders of almost half of the gang forces in the six continents. They possess unparalleled power and monstrous behavior.

Those who are not core members cannot imagine how important the affairs that the ten old men deal with every day are, as they concern the circulation of most of the dark world.

Wright's eyes were burning with anger. He knew that he couldn't join the core group of the ten old men yet, but as long as Nion was there, he would be able to join the core sooner or later.

There must be a chance.

Now all you need is a little patience, yes, a little patience, the ten old men will eventually realize the importance of the Nosra family and his abilities.

By then, the Nosra family will be able to soar to the sky.

At the same time, in the spacious room on the second floor, ten old men sat around a round table, smoking and talking about topics related to the Nosra family.

"The Evil Wolf just called. The daughter of the Nosra family, Nion Nosra, is also at the scene and has been held hostage. She is now asking for instructions. What do you think?"

"Nion Nosra? Ah... Why is she there? Is there a problem with the intelligence? Or is it an accident?"

"It's highly likely that we were used as a tool. We can dig deeper into this later. But the most important thing now is to kill Germain."

"The Yin Beasts are very confident. They admit that Germain has some ability. Three or four Yin Beasts really can't defeat him, but once they come together, the outcome will be decided."

"It's just that, in this final situation, there is the unexpected factor of Nion."

The ten old men will never forget that German and his companions killed more than half of the Yin Beast members a few months ago.

This caused the Yin Beast to become a laughing stock for a period of time, and as a result, the prestige of the Ten Old Men was greatly affected, and its external deterrent power also decreased a lot.

If they had not promoted new members in a timely manner and made an example of them in a swift and resolute manner, there might have been chaos within the gang for a while.

They always remembered this shame, and they believed that everyone in the entire dark world remembered it and was paying attention to how they would deal with German.

However, that German was so elusive that even their intelligence network could hardly track him down. Even crazy people like Meteor Street and NGL had to cooperate with the ten old men to have a chance to spread the killers from Meteor Street and the "DD anesthetic" produced by NGL to the whole world.

They needed the help of the ten old men, so when they were doing business with them, they restrained their madness towards outsiders.

This was a cooperative relationship that the ten old men were quite proud of. This special attitude gave them enough face and also made them have the arrogance to control most of the dark world's business.

However, there is now a person who has pulled down their faces with bare hands and trampled on them, making the identities of the ten old men no longer so sacred and supreme in the dark world.

No matter what the conflict was caused, it doesn’t matter. In short, German must die.

Soon, the ten old men reached a consensus at the round table.

"I heard that two Yin Beasts have died. It's probably because of that Nion that our people are tied up... We can't delay any longer, let's do it."

"Well, I know Light Nosra. He is a coward. I will give him some compensation in the future. For example, I will let him have some connection with the low-class trade with the Kajin Empire."

"Haha, he still made money from it."

"Yeah, he made money."

So the order was given.

After all, this is just a small matter. Since German showed up tonight, he must die, and the treatment of Wright is nothing.

The ten old men began to discuss more important matters, such as paying heavy taxes to V5 in exchange for numerous gangs that exist as legitimate companies or associations, or conflicts with certain forces or gangs.

Because of this nonchalant attitude, when the news of the tragic battle results on the Twin Bridges came, the ten old men felt it was absurd.

How could such a thing happen in the world?
All the Yin Beasts, plus most of the elite gang members, just died on that bridge?

Germain escaped and disappeared again?
The ten old men frowned, and the room fell into deathly silence for a moment. No one spoke, so much so that the guards not far away could sense the atmosphere and controlled their breathing.

"Soon, the news will get out." Finally, one of the ten old men spoke up. "Whether we like it or not, those idiots have failed again."

"It seems that all the generous treatment we give them is in vain... It's troublesome, someone is ready to make a move again."

"They dare?! As long as the ten of us join forces, they can't do anything. Now the key issue is, what should we do with this German?"

"Time and again, he treats us as if we don't exist? If we give him more courage, won't he come to assassinate us?"

When one of the ten old men mentioned this possibility, it almost immediately awakened the other ten old men. This chilling sense of crisis finally forced them to make a decision immediately.

"We must fully support the Phantom Troupe." Another of the ten old men said, "I heard that there is a grudge between them. It seems to be an internal conflict. German killed several of them."

"As for the Zoldyck family, we can spend some more money to ask them to help. The most important thing is that we can't let Germain live any longer. As long as he lives, we won't be able to sleep or eat well."

The ten old men discussed for a while, and then they heard shrill cries coming from downstairs. They listened for a while, frowned, and ordered their subordinates to go and take a look.

The subordinates came back to report that everyone who came to the party in the hall downstairs had received the news, and Wright also learned about the tragic death of his daughter Nion, and almost fell to his knees with a mental breakdown.

"Wright seems to be crazy." The subordinate said to the ten old men, "Such as 'the previous prophecy has come true', 'prophecy cannot be avoided, it will eventually come true', and it will be 'fulfilled in a more tragic form'."

The ten old men frowned, but didn't care too much. They waved their hands and asked their subordinates to deal with Light Nosra's affairs.
