Hunter x Hunter: Tonight, Germain joins the hunt

Chapter 484 It's not that I don't believe you, I just want to broaden my horizons
With Xiutaina's introduction, everyone got to know many officials from the International Ferry Permit Office who came from afar, many generals, and the protagonists of this evening party.

The highest commander of the reinforcement force, Admiral Mike, was wearing a pair of frog-shaped sunglasses, a huge corncob pipe in his mouth, and a military uniform, standing there with his hands on his hips.

At the age of 65, he is smart and capable, with a vigorous and confident demeanor.

All those standing next to him were heavyweights of the banquet, one of whom was Princess Oit.

After Shutaina had introduced German and others one by one, Admiral Mike took the pipe from his mouth, laughed heartily, chatted with President Netero, and encouraged German and others.

Then, he pointed to Princess Oit beside him and said with a smile: "We are trying to comfort the princess. She is a little frightened. I told her that with our fleet coming, her legal status will be guaranteed."

"I have no doubt about it." Princess Oit dressed up for a rare occasion, trying her best to look like a princess of the Kakin Empire, and she smiled.

Among the king, queen, and prince of the Kakin Empire who arrived in the New World, she was the only one left alive, and this was an unshakable result.

This did not make her lose respect, on the contrary, Admiral Mike gave her the greatest preferential treatment.

This preferential treatment is not only due to Princess Oit's strong character and respected status, but also because of the consideration of the Kakin Empire.

Although the Kajin Empire is in turmoil, it has not completely collapsed. Princess Oit's trust is still worth fighting for. Maybe she can become one of the chess pieces to control the Kajin Empire.

The party unfolded slowly with melodious music. German looked over and happened to see Melody playing the flute in the band.

Melody also saw German and nodded slightly to him.

It seems that her beautiful melody was recognized by many nobles and wealthy people, so she was invited to perform at the party.

It can be said that listening to the melodious flute music makes them feel that they are still superior, and they believe that the middle and lower class people cannot possibly understand the true meaning of this beautiful flute music.

They even resented the fact that Melody was played on the radio every night on a flute for the entire Coast Fortress to hear, thinking it was playing to a deaf ear.

Melody's attitude towards this group of self-proclaimed noble people is not to take the initiative, not to refuse, and not to take responsibility. She still does what she should do every day - comforting people's hearts.

It can be said that the melodious flute music played a big role in preventing a second major chaos from breaking out in the coastal fortress over the past few months.

Admiral Mike had no intention of discussing serious matters with them, and German and the others did not want to stay around him to flatter and be polite, so they said goodbye and left the circle.

They formed their own small circle at the party, and although they were dressed formally, they still couldn't fit in with today's scene.

Unlike the nobles and wealthy people who were still chatting, they ignored the strange looks, picked up their small plates, and gathered around the long table to taste the delicacies.

President Netero was the first to take the lead in doing so:
"It can't be wasted. They used all the food in the warehouse, plus what they brought with them, to hold the party."

Upon hearing this, Mo Laowu and Xiaodi no longer had any reservations and just picked out the dishes they liked and put them on the plates. They were a little more reserved than Siji, but they also ate with great relish.

German picked up a piece of seafood that was placed on a pile of ice, dipped it in the sauce next to it, and put it on his plate.

After thinking for a while, he walked to President Netero and asked, "President, what are you going to do next?"

"How do you do it?" President Netero asked knowingly. After swallowing a mouthful of lobster meat, he slowly said, "Of course, do nothing."

German picked up the meat slices with chopsticks - there were tableware from all countries and regions here, including knives, forks and chopsticks. He put it in his mouth, and the spiciness of mustard quickly rose to his nose.

But he held back. After a long while, when the spiciness had worn off, he blinked and figured out what President Netero meant.

President Netero certainly did not intend to respond passively. From the fact that he released two types of "hope", it can be seen that he did not intend to completely give up power.

But under the current circumstances, it would be best for him to do nothing.

The more he did, the more mistakes he made. He just had to do his job as the president of the Hunter Association, support V6, and protect the rights of professional hunters.

If Admiral Mike wants a lavish party, then have it; if he wants something ambitious, then support it; if he wants something else, then provide a plan.

President Netero never intended to become the "king" of the New World.

He had no such ambition, and he knew from the beginning that it was impossible. All he wanted now was more say.

Everyone ate and drank like this, not fitting in with the surrounding circle. Occasionally, Princess Oit, Xiutaina, Melody and others would come over to say a few words, but that was all. The party ended unknowingly when they were full of food and drink.

The rest of the invited guests left one after another, and Princess Oit returned to her residence under the escort of soldiers.

Of course, German and others were kept by Admiral Mike.

Admiral Mike, Xiutaina and others took them away from the party venue.

Only then did everyone realize that on this floor, the front was the party venue and the back was his office, and the two were almost the same size.

In addition to them, there were many soldiers armed with guns in the office. They were like executioners behind the curtain, and they would take action as long as Admiral Mike gave an order.

Of course, this would happen, so Admiral Mac is probably crazy.

Admiral Mike first praised everyone for their important role in quelling the chaos and maintaining order, and then praised German and others for their achievements in retrieving "Hope".

He promised to report these truthfully to V6 and give them corresponding rewards.

However, in the "voice of the heart" that German sensed, Admiral Mike had a different face.

Admiral Mike will indeed send a fleet back to the Six Continents to report on the situation in the near future.

But he will magnify his own role in the report and weaken the role of others.

Admiral Mike will take most of the credit for President Netero's efforts to stabilize order over the past few months, and will also regard the German team's recovery of "Hope" as a result of his strong support.

Even from the perspective of time, his fleet was still on the sea heading to the New World, so such a thing was simply impossible.

But he knew how to make it work.

Germann heard all of this confusing right and wrong.

Admiral Mike thought he was hiding his true intentions, but in his eyes, they were like a child performing a cartwheel in front of him.

He finally understood why President Netero looked so confident. It seemed that President Netero had seen through Admiral Mike.

Everyone realized that it was only a matter of time before this guy messed things up, and then there would be a lot of room for maneuver.

Admiral Mike spoke proudly for a long time before he stopped, took a puff of his pipe, exhaled the smoke, and his sunglasses shone in the light.

"If I'm not mistaken, the cause of the chaos was that the Kajin royal family's egg-in-pot ritual went out of control, summoning many terrifying mind beasts and starting the night of slaughter, is that right?"

President Netero answered on behalf of everyone: "That's it."

This was the result of the investigation into the cause of the chaos that the Hunter Association announced to the military, and there was no mention of concepts such as the "God of Grudge".

What they announced to ordinary people was even more concise:

The rebels, dissatisfied with the second prince's succession to the throne, released many terrible monsters, which, together with the various monsters that already existed in the New World, created great chaos that night.

"That's terrible..." Admiral Mike said, "But, this makes me have some questions."

"What questions?"

Admiral Mike turned his head and looked at German: "The protagonist who finally resolved the chaos and regained "hope" was this German, right?"

President Netero smiled and glanced at Germain, then replied, "Yes."

"President Netero, I remember that when I was a child, you were already the most powerful Nen user in the world. So, he is stronger than you?"

"Hahaha... That's true. I'm old after all, and young people will always be better than me."

Admiral Mike was also laughing: "If I could see it with my own eyes, it might be better... Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't believe you, I just want to broaden my horizons."
