Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 250: The Surrender of Chimera Ants

Although German was the culprit for Killua running away from home, Silva now has little intention of blaming German.

After all, it has already happened, so there is no need to dwell too much on the past.

"He got rid of the butler who had been following him, and there was no news of him afterwards... However, not long ago, Illumi said that one of his friends accidentally met a child who looked like Killua."

"So, Illumi gave up on continuing to cooperate with the Phantom Troupe and turned to look for Killua, but he hasn't found Killua yet."

As expected, they are all Killua-con fans.

Illumi gave up the mission because of the suspected news of Killua's whereabouts, and Silva and other members of the Zoldyck family did not express any objection, as if it was a matter of course.

Germain looked at Sheba.

"Are you worried about Killua? Afraid that he'll be in danger if he's out there alone?"

When Shiba heard this, the corners of his mouth curled up and he laughed contemptuously.

"Ordinary people can't hurt Killua. If it's a Nen user, Killua will tactfully avoid him before he comes into direct contact with him. I'm not worried about his safety."

This is a fact. Judging from Killua's reaction when he encountered Germain's release of telekinesis, there is a high probability that Killua has now been injected with telekinesis by Illumi into his head.

The mind needle will stop Killua from attacking an enemy that he has no chance of defeating.

Shiba was very sure of this.

"It doesn't matter if he can't find it now. He will definitely take part in the Professional Hunter Examination at the beginning of next year. Right, Germain? This should be your advice to him."

Shiba's last words were not a question, but a confirmation.

German admitted that there was nothing to hide.

"Yes. I just think that a genius like Killua should be sent out to have better room for growth."

Sheba nodded and walked up the airship's gangway.

"That's true. I don't like to keep him trapped like a pet dog. That will only make him become more and more like Sanmao (the guard dog of the Zoldyck family)."

"His top talent always needs to be realized, and realization requires polishing, which is inevitable."

"However, once his Nen ability is awakened, the opponents he faces will be different, and sooner or later he will be bold enough to attack an enemy stronger than him."

"If no one guides him properly, Killua will suffer a great loss. This is what we are really worried about."

As Shiba spoke, he glanced at Germain meaningfully, and his tall body got into the airship.

Then, as expected, Netero's loud laughter was heard.

"Sheba actually lost? I really didn't expect that... Zeno, I won, what about the bet?"

"President Netero, I didn't make a bet with you, right?" Zeno's tone was helpless.

"It's settled then. The bet will be used to offset part of my debt. Hahahaha..."

The second martial arts competition was not held that day, and everyone was resting on the airship.

The airship belongs to the Zoldyck family and has only one servant on it, a tall female housekeeper named Ziponian.

Ziponian had two thick and big braids and wore a single-rimmed glass on his right eye.

She is the senior housekeeper of the Zoldyck family and takes orders directly from Silva.

This is why Silva did not expel Canaria. He could see that Canaria had the potential to become Killua's direct butler in the future.

For example, it is good that Ziponian obeys Geno's orders, but it would be better if Ziponian disobeyed Geno's orders for Shiba.

Of course, Ziponian will be punished for doing this, but she will gain deeper trust from Shiba.

This is the difference between a general butler and a direct butler.

Most housekeepers can't even eat shit as hot as it is.

Canaria would be willing to die for Killua, that's what Silva wants.

After Ziponian brought dinner to everyone, he left the airship restaurant.

She would not show up unless everyone rang the bell.

At the dinner table, only Netero, Zeno and Silva were talking. Germain was concentrating on enjoying his dinner and rarely spoke.

After a while, Netero suddenly heard a cell phone ringing in his trouser pocket.

He put down his knife and fork, took out his cell phone and answered it.

Netero listened quietly for a while, asked a few questions with a serious expression, then expressed his agreement and hung up the phone.

Zeno and Shiba both looked at him tacitly, only Germain was still cutting steak with his head down.

"It's Mo Laowu's call." Netero took the initiative to say, "Although I don't need it, he reports the latest situation to me every once in a while."

Netero raised his fork, put a piece of steak that looked like it still had blood in it into his mouth surrounded by white beard, and began to chew.

"Hmm... delicious... If I meet Ziponian later, I will have to praise her. Her cooking skills are very good. I like all the food on this table."

Zeno laughed twice in a hoarse voice.

"I think she would be honored to receive praise from the president of the Hunter Association... But, let's get back to Mo Laowu's call, shall we? How is the situation over there?"

Netero stared down at the remaining steak on the plate and pursed his lips.

"How should I put it? Hmm..."

"Mo Laowu and Nobu are in one group, while Nakulu and Xiu Tuo are in another. They are operating separately within the territory of the East Goto Republic, and they are winning battles against the Chimera Ants every day."

"In addition, two more Chimera Ants have joined our side. They are currently in contact with Nakulu and Xiu Tuo, and have decided to help humans get rid of the Ant King and the three guards." Zeno raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"If there were chimera ants that jumped to the human camp before, it was because the queen ant they were loyal to died, and it was the ant king who killed the queen ant and some of their companions."

"They cannot be loyal to such an ant king. One group sided with humans, while the other group set up their own faction."

"Those Chimera Ants that have established their own tribes should have already left this area and spread their activities to the nearby Eurubian Continent."

"Those who are still staying in the East Guotuo Republic should all be the ones who submit to the Ant King. How come there are also surrenderists among them?"

Netero pouted.

"It's simple. They are born from the feeding and mating of the queen ants, and most of them are mixed with human genes. As for humans, you know."

"Even if some members are loyal to the queen ant or king ant at first, their feelings will start to deteriorate later. They will recall their memories of their human days and think of their relatives and friends."

"Most of these relatives and friends died at the hands of the Ant King and the three guards. The desire for revenge will prompt them to make a choice, even overshadowing their fear of the Ant King and the three guards."

Zeno nodded.

"I see. Then Mo Laowu, Nobu, Nakulu and Xiu Tuo did a good job. At least they lived up to the reputation of the 'Chimera Ant Suppression Team'."

In fact, those who played a role in the Chimera Ant Suppression Campaign were not only Mo Laowu and other people on the Chimera Ant Suppression Team list.

Now, there are still many professional hunters who are secretly active in the Republic of East Godo, acting as Netero's "wind ears" and delivering all kinds of latest information.

Sometimes, even if Mo Laowu, Nob and others did not report their location or what they did, Netero could quickly get the exact information through his "super hearing".

In addition, in order to prevent the Chimera Ant disaster from spreading further, professional hunters such as La Ke recommended by Mo Laowu are carrying out extermination operations in places where Chimera Ants are present.

It was the outstanding performance of these professional hunters that forced most of the Chimera Ants that had originally left the NGL Autonomous Region and the East Goto Republic to turn back.

After the queen ant died, they planned to act independently and establish their own kingdom.

It was not until they encountered setbacks in the human world that the Chimera Ants realized that it was not that easy.

The humans in the outside world are not all bad guys.

So they found the ant king and expressed their loyalty to him.

Whether it was sincere or not was another matter, but by simply expressing loyalty, one could gain the evolution of Nen ability from the three guards, so why not?
Chimera ants have an extremely short growth period and possess extremely high talent.

For them, mastering the ability of Nen is as easy as a newborn foal learning to stand.

At the same time, this is also the instinct and talent of wild animals that humans have gradually abandoned after the development of civilization.

And those unknown hunters, the hunters who failed to make it onto the Chimera Ant subjugation team's list, are the unsung heroes who force the arrogant Chimera Ants back to reality.

However, they were destined not to be as brilliant as the Chimera Ant Expedition Team.

The reason is not that Mo Laowu, Nob and others are members of the Chimera Ant Suppression Team.

Instead, they dared to face the most terrifying and top-notch Chimera Ants.

This courage determines the difference between them.

Netero put down his knife and fork, picked up his napkin, and wiped the corners of his mouth casually.

"To be honest, it doesn't matter what happens to Mo Laowu, Nobu, Nakulu, Xiu Tuo, and La Ke."

When Germain heard this, he couldn't help but look up.

Then he noticed that there was an indescribable darkness in Netero's eyes, and he looked extremely cold.

"It's not important how many Chimera Ants they killed or which Chimera Ants they cooperated with. What's most important is how much help they can provide in the final battle."

The dinner ended quickly.

When Netero met Ziponian again, he turned back into the smiling old man.

He praised Ziponian affectionately, as if he had never existed at the dinner.

Ziponian responded humbly, then glanced at German who was walking by.

She was on the airship and noticed the outcome of that irregular battle.

Even though Master Shiba didn't use his full strength due to the rules, it was the same for Germain.

A win is a win.

This man named Germain really defeated Master Shiba.

Ziponian remained silent.

This direct steward of Silva did not show any hostility towards Germain.

On the contrary, she remained respectful in her treatment of Germain.

As a senior housekeeper, she would never do such an unprofessional thing.

She would only hate and be angry when Master Shiba needed her to hate Germain and express his anger.

Similarly, as long as it is Master Silva's wish, she will maintain her duties as the housekeeper of the Zoldyck family in front of Germain and complete her mission this time.

The next day, the second martial arts competition began.
