Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 279 Welcome at the Hunter Association Headquarters
The airship arrived at the helipad of the Hunter Association headquarters the next morning, and from the window one could see that the outside was crowded with people.

As soon as the rotating blades stopped, the airship door opened and the gangway was released and placed on the ground.

A group of people who had been waiting for a long time gathered together immediately. Most of them were members of the Hunter Association, and only a few were other members.

Some people were waiting by the gangway, looking at the cabin door, some were looking down to send messages on their mobile phones, and others were preparing the red carpet and flowers.

When the members of the Chimera Ant Extermination Team, led by President Netero, came down the gangway, the crowd immediately burst into warm applause, whistles, and cheers.

However, the only five people who actually appeared in front of everyone were Netero, Germain, Mo Laowu, Nob, and Nakulu.

Xiutuo will need to stay in bed for a while.

Due to their appearance as Chimera Ants, Pom, Mereon, Ikarug, Wilfin, Brobuta and Sina should not be exposed to the public during this special period.

Now they could only stay in the airship, silently listening to the cheers and excited sounds, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

After the crowd dispersed, people in the know would come and quietly take them out of the airship and place them in a secluded apartment.

The heroes among them will receive flowers and awards, but they are flowers and awards in the shadows of the stage.

Their exploits would not be made public until much later.

At that time, unless there were special circumstances, the spread of their deeds would still be very low.

There is no way around this, after all, there won't be a dedicated writer or cartoonist to write or draw a biography for them.

Leading the crowd to welcome the Chimera Ant Extermination Team members were the Association's Secretary, Bean-faced Man, Kita of the "Twelve Zodiacs", and Micai Istrom Nana.

"Dog" Kita and "Ox" Micai Istrom were the "Twelve Zodiacs" who arrived at the Hunter Association quite early, and they even dropped the tasks at hand for this purpose.

The task at hand was not urgent in the first place, not to mention that President Netero had personally given the order for them to rush to the Hunter Association headquarters immediately.

This makes them come very quickly.

Originally, there should be one of the "Twelve Zodiac Signs" who would definitely arrive at the Hunter Association headquarters before them, and that was "Rat" Pariston.

Pariston is the vice president of the Hunter Association who took office only about a year ago and spends most of his time at the Hunter Association headquarters.

Every time a big event happened in the Hunter Association, he would suddenly appear and show his presence, as if he was the president of the association.

But President Netero has always indulged him.

However, this time, Palliston, who usually appears like a peacock spreading its feathers, was surprisingly absent.

Many people were puzzled by this, but smart people had already guessed what was going on and cleverly chose to keep silent about it.

At the welcoming scene in front of them, everyone's focus was naturally on President Netero, followed by Germain, and then Mo Laowu, Nob and Nakulu.

After talking to Netero for a few words, Qido paused, turned around and walked towards Germain.

She stopped in front of Germain and looked him over quickly, then the "dog girl" intelligently adjusted her glasses and extended her hand to Germain.

"German, I'm Qiduo, nice to meet you. Your performance this time was amazing."

"Thank you. Nice to meet you, too."

Germain shook hands with Kito and then let go.

Soon after, Micaiah Storm came over. The hat and clothes he wore had the black and white stripes of a cow.

The "Twelve Zodiac Signs"' admiration for President Netero is evident. In order to match the titles of "Dog" and "Ox" bestowed by the president, the two took great pains.

Qiduo dressed up as a dog girl, and Micaistrom dressed like a cow, both of which were intentional attempts to get closer to the title.

They are proud of this, and most people in the professional hunter community don't think there is anything wrong with it.

Only the anti-president faction or some neutral factions felt that the personality cult of President Netero was too heavy.

However, even if you want to engage in personality cult, you must have a foundation for it. Not everyone can be like Netero.

President Netero's prestige has been accumulated over decades.

Mitzaistrom also shook hands with Germain.

Neither of the two "Twelve Zodiacs" showed excessive enthusiasm for German, but only made slight contact.

Instead, the bean-faced man, with his white-gloved hands, tightly held German's hand and shook it gently with joy that was beyond words.

He already knew that President Netero had the "Rose of the Poor" installed in his body, and was almost about to self-destruct.

If Germain had not arrived in time and dealt with the "Ant King" Meruem, perhaps President Netero would have really gone to that step.

At that time, the Bean-faced Man will hold a funeral for President Netero.

He was sincerely grateful to German.

Naturally, no one would take the initiative to bring it up at this time. Netero's private request for help from Germain was against the association's procedures.

The ending is good, so the procedures can be completed later.

Mo Laowu, Nuobu and Na Kulu were not left out either, they received praise from everyone.

But they all knew who was the core figure in this Chimera Ant crusade, so they took the initiative to give up their positions to German.

After chatting for a while and letting the newspaper reporter take a few photos, the crowd in front of the airship finally began to move.

Entering the lobby on the first floor of the Hunter Association headquarters, the first people to leave the crowd were the newspaper reporters, who were not allowed to follow any further.

When they reached the second floor, Netero asked most of the members to return to their work posts, and the number of people decreased.

When they arrived at the president's office, only Netero, Germain, Qido, Micaistrom, Mo Laowu, Nob, Nakulu and the Bean-faced Man were left.

The bean-faced man was about to pour tea and water for everyone, when Netero quietly pulled the back of his suit and winked at him with his right eye.

"President...?"

"Bean-faced man." Netero whispered, "Please return the two DVDs I gave you before to me later." The bean-faced man immediately remembered that before the decisive battle of the Chimera Ant subjugation war, President Netero did give him two DVDs of his last words for safekeeping.

Although President Netero likes to play tricks on the Bean-Faced Man, he always trusts him on some key matters.

The information in the Last Words DVD is undoubtedly important.

Netero directly handed them over to the Bean-Faced Man for safekeeping, and it would also be the Bean-Faced Man who would convey them to everyone in the future.

His trust in Dou Mian Ren is beyond doubt.

The bean-faced man nodded and smiled.

"Indeed... they are no longer needed, right, President?"

"Yeah. Not needed for now."

The bean-faced man was startled.

"Eh?! Temporarily? Why temporarily? Is there anything else?"

"Hahaha, I was just joking with you, but you took it seriously again. Go ahead, pour some tea and bring some cakes and biscuits."

The confused bean-faced man was sent away by Netero with just a few words.

Netero turned around and saw everyone standing there, looking at him.

Only Germain walked to the collection cabinet and looked at the rare treasures behind the glass.

"Sit down, sit down."

However, still no one sat down until Netero sat down on the swivel chair in a carefree manner, and then everyone sat down one by one.

German was still in front of the collection cabinet, looking at the collection inside with great interest.

At this time, Netero knocked on the table, attracted everyone's attention, and spoke.

"Qido, Micai Istrom, tell me, is there anything new after you arrived at the Hunter Association?"

Qiduo and Micaistrom looked at each other, then glanced at the others without saying anything.

Netero waved his hand.

"Don't worry about this or that. They are actually related parties. There is no need to hide it from them. Just tell them directly."

Qiduo and Micai Istrom looked at each other again.

Micah Istrom made a "you first" gesture.

So Qiduo cleared his throat.

"After the decisive battle against the Chimera Ants in the early morning of the 23rd, I first arranged for a support airship, and then rushed to the Hunter Association headquarters without stopping."

"I arrived at the Hunter Association headquarters that morning and after meeting up with the Doumianren secretary, I prepared to handle the Hunter Association's affairs."

"But, at this time..."

Qiduo had a strange expression on his face.

"Parishton and Xiyou submitted written resignation letters to Doumianren's secretary and left the Hunter Association. Their whereabouts are unknown."

Mo Laowu, Nuobu and Na Kulu were all shocked when they heard the news and looked at each other in surprise.

Only then did German sit down on the sofa, staring at the potted plants not far away, lost in thought.

Just at this moment, the bean-faced man came back with tea and dessert.

After sensing the strange atmosphere in the office, he couldn't help but ask.

When he learned that Pariston and Xiyou had quit the "Twelve Zodiac Signs" and other positions in the Hunter Association, Doumianren immediately found the two resignation letters.

The two letters were placed in front of Netero's desk. Netero just glanced down at them, then moved them aside and stroked his beard.

"It's still very fast..."

"In fact..." Mizar Ishtom interrupted, "They are not the only ones who resigned."

"I arrived at the Hunter Association headquarters on the afternoon of the 23rd, but on the way, I had already begun investigating the Inspection Department and the Associate Hunters."

"There are many suspicious points in this Chimera Ant campaign, all of which are related to the Inspection Department and the Cooperative Hunters."

"However, when I wanted to investigate several of them, they all left their posts early."

"Their resignation letter arrived later via email. After that, the group completely disappeared."

"Many positions in the review department were vacant, and the department was almost paralyzed. Our people were able to fill the positions very easily."

Micah Istrom pressed the brim of his hat.

"As we all know, the Inspection Department and the Hunter Assistant are Palliston's factions. Their collective resignation is not accidental."

"Besides that, I have always had doubts about the vice president's style of doing things."

"Since he took office, several professional hunters have gone missing, more than in the past few years combined."

He stared at Netero.

"President, do you have any clues about the strange behavior of Pariston, Xiyou, the Inspection Department and others?"
