Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 188 "Intentions to be conveyed through Gold"

The shabby sedan was roaring along the desert road, the car stereo was playing some very exciting rock music, and the lead singer was roaring at the top of his lungs.

"We-will-we-will-rock-you-!"

"We-will-we-will-rock-you-!"

If we ignore the crowded situation in the car, perhaps with this timeless song, this journey would be considered a good family trip.

The driver was Kate, a woman with flowing silver hair and a dull temperament. She hardly spoke a word.

Jin was qualified to sit in the passenger seat and acted carefree.

As for the other five people, they had to endure the humiliation and squeeze into the back row.

The back seats from left to right are Xiaodi by the window, Germain in the middle, Shira, and Kurapika by the window on the other side.

Kurapika was squeezed into the window seat.

Xiaodi took the initiative to ask for a window seat, saying that she wanted to see the scenery outside the window. She was the only one who was really prepared to treat the "Journey to the Kajin Empire" as a trip.

The four people's shoulders and thighs were put together, with almost no gap.

The car was definitely overloaded at the moment, but there was nothing they could do since Kim and Kate only drove a shabby sedan and their jeep was cut in half by Bi Yangde.
Just squeeze in, everyone accepted this.

So where does the last person of the five, Biscuit, sit?
With her originally strong body, she certainly couldn't even squeeze into the carriage, so she turned back into a petite shape.

After getting on the bus, in order to save space, she, who was as big as a girl, had to sit on someone else's lap.

Although it is not very elegant, it is more feasible than squeezing five people in the back row.

Biscuit looked left and right, and finally prepared to sit in German's arms as if nothing had happened and enjoy the treatment like a princess.

She is in her fifties and just wants to enjoy herself occasionally, what's wrong with that?
But Xiaodi intervened at this time. Without saying anything, she reached out and hugged Biscuit on her lap like a doll.

"Eh--"

Biscuit struggled a little, then felt that the little chubby girl was quite comfortable lying in her arms, so he lay down obediently and stopped moving.

The vehicle had been away from the battlefield for half an hour, and everyone relaxed a little and started chatting.

Biscuit leaned comfortably on the warm "cushion" and looked like he was about to fall asleep.

"Jin, isn't it time for you to tell me? How did you and Kate end up here? Don't tell me this is a 'coincidence' or something like that."

At this time, Jin reached out and turned down the volume of the stereo, making the car a little quieter, but there was still some sense of the traveling atmosphere.

He liked this atmosphere very much, and when he heard Biscuit's question, he just smiled easily.

"No, no, when it comes to 'cheating', Bisquis is the expert in this area. I won't teach an expert how to cheat... Kate and I appearing here is really not a coincidence."

"Coincidences are unintentional, and we were looking for you on purpose. We just happened to run into you here."

Biscuit stuck out her upper body with interest, like a snail sticking out of its shell, but she was quickly hugged back by Xiaodi.

"Hurry up and tell me, hurry up and tell me, don't keep me in suspense."

Jin held the back of his head with his hands in relaxation and looked at the people in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

“The story begins in early August.”

"I was on an isolated island, studying an ancient ruin with my team. That night, when I returned to the camp, I found a notebook among the materials I read every day."

"The notebook contains information about 'German' and his companions, and provides a lot of indirect evidence, trying to prove to me that German and his companions have the 'means to travel to the Dark Continent'."

"The indirect evidence is the corpses of the monsters that you secretly cleared out in the black market. Many of them are very similar to the monsters recorded in the New World Chronicle: East."

"You should know "New World Chronicle: Eastern Chapter", right? Well... it's good that you know it, so there's no need to explain it in detail."

"Finally, the end of the notebook mentioned Germain's whereabouts, pointing to the Kakin Empire. It also predicted that Germain was going to meet with a man named 'Bijand', and that the meeting and negotiations would end in failure."

When Bisiji heard this, she couldn't help but sit up straight with her petite body, but was hugged back into Xiaodi's arms again.

"Who gave you this notebook? How did you know that the negotiations between Germain and Bijand would definitely break down? What is its purpose?"

Jin still kept sitting with his hands on the back of his head, but he was more relaxed and pulled his legs, which were still in shoes, back onto the chair, sitting cross-legged like that.

"The notebook didn't leave any other information, and I couldn't find out who had entered my tent before."

"As for 'foreseeing the future', if it's not 'psychic ability', then it must be that he knows the nature of Germain and Biyangde very well."

"This person must have had direct or indirect contact with Germain, Biyangde and me for some time, and he has rich experience, enough to judge that Germain and Biyangde will not be able to cooperate due to their different styles of doing things, and I will definitely be very interested in this matter." "In addition, this person has a very large intelligence network, and there are many people with outstanding abilities who are willing to work for this person, so that he can obtain information about me, Germain, and Biyangde at the same time."

"But even though this person possesses such power, he didn't deliberately 'command' me on what to do. It seems that he really just kindly placed the 'Dark Continent Intelligence' that I care about here."

"Biscuit, I believe you have heard who I am referring to, right? I think his purpose is also very clear."

Jin touched his nose and curled his lips, looking helpless.

Biscuit was originally feeling warm in Xiaodi's arms, but after hearing these words, she felt even hotter, and even sweat started to appear on her forehead and neck.

She remembered this familiar feeling of embarrassment, the embarrassment of slacking off during practice and then being caught...

Biscuit couldn't help but cover his face, and the tips of his ears felt hot and red.

Xiaodi felt the body temperature of the "doll" in her arms rise rapidly, and it fell into a strange silence.

She placed her chin on Biscuit's head and became curious.

"Biscuit, who is that uncle in front of you talking about? Are you familiar with that person?"

Even someone like Jin, who was always calm in the face of adversity, couldn't help but be stunned at this moment.

"'Uncle'...ah, well, I'm in my thirties, and I'm at that age..." He crossed his arms and pouted stubbornly.

Biscuit covered his face for a while, then rubbed his cheeks hard, rubbing them red, before finally poking his head out of the "snail shell".

"The only person who can do such a thing, and in such a reckless way, seemingly giving you a choice but actually forcing you, is President Netero."

Shira, who was listening in confusion, was shocked when she heard the name of the president of the Hunter Association.

She tried to stand up in astonishment, but she forgot that she was inside a car.

With a "bang", Sheila's head, which was wearing a headdress that looked like Mickey Mouse ears, hit the roof of the car. She hugged her head in pain, bent over and sat down.

Kurapika had heard about the legendary President Netero from Germain, Biscuit and others.

He was surprised to hear his name here, but his attention was attracted by Sheila's series of actions.

"Sheila, is your head okay? Do you need me to use the "Healing Thumb Chain" on you?"

Silla shook her head, then rubbed her head and sat up, looking quite aggrieved.

For some reason, Kurapika's words, which were clearly sincere and caring for her, sounded like he was scolding her for being stupid.

She hypnotized herself in her heart: I chose it myself, I chose it myself, I chose this path myself... I don’t regret it, I don’t regret it, I definitely don’t regret it...

Bisiji glanced at Sheila, and after confirming that Sheila was okay, she chose her words and then pointed to her ears.

"Do you know that President Netero has a nickname called 'Wind-Earing'? This is because he can always inexplicably know other people's whereabouts and guess their next move."

Biscuit let out a long sigh.

"I actually thought that sooner or later our affairs would be discovered by President Netero, but I at least hoped that it would be discovered after we got one of the "hopes". This way, we can take the initiative by acting first and reporting later."

"Unfortunately, it was discovered."

"However, after President Netero got to know the basic situation, he did not immediately stop the negotiation between Germain and Biyangde. Instead, he sent a message to Jinfa first. I'm afraid that after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to give us a chance."

"To put it bluntly, the President Netero I know is this kind of person. If we can achieve results, that is, bring back "hope" safely instead of "disaster", he will approve of our private actions."

"If we fail, he will take action to fix the situation. He will punish and dismiss us, and at the same time he will do to Germain what he did to Bijand - put him in chains."

"If I'm not mistaken, President Netero must have set a deadline, such as completing this A-level mission before January 1999."

"He is like this. He often gives me or my subordinates tasks that should take a year or two to complete, but he tells them to be completed within one or two months."

"It's clear what President Netero wants to convey."

"'I can pretend not to see it, and I can also obtain all the "permissions", "qualifications", and "contracts" for you afterwards, but the premise is that you must take back "hope", not "disaster".'"

Netero never mindlessly rejected the members of the Hunter Association from exploring the Dark Continent, because he knew that the desire to explore the Dark Continent was in the nature of hunters and could not be stopped at all.

What he wanted to reject was Yang De's method of "clearing mines with human lives".

Otherwise, before "hope" can bring about change in human society, "disaster" may have completely destroyed the order of human society.
