JOJO hiding in the hunter world

To be fair, a Hunter License does have many benefits, so it's no wonder that countless capable people from all over the world participate every year.

Because Eiichiro Yamada had just announced the unconditional donation of over 200 billion in assets to the National Welfare Foundation, reporters from all over the Sakura Country flocked to two locations.

One was the Yamada Group's office building, hoping to interview Eiichiro Yamada himself up close. A large portion also went to the headquarters of the Ten Million Foundation.

The entire nation was very concerned about the destination and use of such a large sum of money.

Within an hour, a vast number of reporters had surrounded the Yamada Group and the Welfare Foundation.

Several hundred men and women blocked the entrance of the foundation, the women dressed smartly, holding microphones, pushing forward like aunties fighting for discounted groceries.

Behind them followed several cameramen, also struggling to advance through the narrow gaps.

However, the foundation's doors remained closed. The security guards couldn't stop the crazed reporters and had to close the doors to protect the safety of the foundation's staff.

They'd do anything for a headline. With so many people and no organization or discipline, accidents could easily happen.

The foundation had learned from past experience. Last time, when the head of the Yoyogi Zaibatsu made a donation, the foundation's poor organization led to two security personnel being disabled and several others injured.

Having learned from that lesson, they couldn't let the reporters in so easily.

But the foundation wasn't ambiguous either. They were also inside the building, doing everything that the reporters could do, one thing at a time.

They were walking the reporters' path, leaving the reporters with no path to walk.

The foundation's official account immediately released a statement, saying that the money hadn't arrived yet, estimating when it would arrive, and where the money would be used…

Although the leaders of the foundation were somewhat panicked, they quickly calmed down and broadcasted the news to the entire nation.

It was clear that the leader giving the speech was also very pleasantly surprised, unable to maintain his usual elegance, and unable to hide his smile during the national broadcast.

In the end, he was smiling as he broadcasted the news. Anyone with half a brain would know that he was thinking things like his career was now stable.

The higher-ups weren't very clear about the use of the money; the regulations weren't very detailed, giving a feeling of pie-in-the-sky promises, and the content was somewhat vague.

Jon's intuition told him that some things could be done in these areas, and it was very possible to embezzle some of the funds.

It took Jon and Shuichi Yamanaka a long time to find a parking space. The surrounding area was full of television station vehicles.

The police had already blocked the road. If it weren't for that Hunter License, they wouldn't even have the qualification to get close.

But the doors and windows were all locked, and there were reporters outside, making it impossible to enter.

Now the police were driving out the gossip and entertainment reporters, leaving only reporters from large, well-established television stations.

Jon and Shuichi Yamanaka had the Hunter License, this 'get out of jail free' card, and the police didn't dare to casually chase Jon away.

Only then did Shuichi Yamanaka and Jon have the opportunity to enter the Foundation as the first people who could contact and interview the Foundation, just like those reporters.

It took a full half hour to screen out those miscellaneous reporters.

This also made Jon somewhat suspicious. Since it was led by the Foundation, why didn't they prepare earlier? Why make it so troublesome now?

Human perplexing behavior.

Perhaps they wanted to put on a full show, to make it as realistic as possible. It wasn't impossible.

After a round of screening by the police, Jon, Shuichi Yamanaka, and a group of reporters walked into the building where the Foundation was located.

In fact, the building's footprint was small, and the height was also very low (compared to the surrounding buildings).

Everyone was led to a conference room. The reporters and photographers all sat down in rows, and everyone was very excited. They were about to witness a great moment.

Such a large amount of donation was rare in the world, but it was the second time in Sakura Country. Now most Sakura Country people could boast to the outside world about how conscientious their capitalists were and how they were giving back to society.

Before long, the person in charge came in to answer questions from the reporters.

Everyone was asking all kinds of tricky questions, but Jon and Shuichi Yamanaka were calmly playing with their phones, listening to music played by MP3 with their headphones on.

Exposing these things now would make everyone unhappy. It wasn't worth it. He still needed their help.

Jon only had a chance to ask questions after the press conference ended.

At first, the security guard wanted to drag Jon away. The press conference was over, and any further presence would be considered harassment.

“We are professional Hunters. We are here to discuss cooperation. I know that your government has already had contact with the youkai side, right? How much do you actually understand?”

The person in charge frowned, very puzzled. “Sir, you’ve asked the wrong person. We are a welfare foundation, not a police inspector from the Search Division.”

“As far as I know, although supernatural events have occurred frequently in Sakura Country in recent years, and youkai have emerged one after another, I want to make a connection…”

“The Search Division has indeed reached partnerships with many shrines and temples, and has hired many consultants. They have already formed Search Division Five. You’ve come to the wrong place.” The spokesperson prepared to bypass Jon and leave.

If Jon wasn’t a Hunter, coupled with the joy of being promoted and the superficial skills of a politician, he would have lost it a long time ago.

It was only because Jon was a Hunter that he didn't want to create problems at this time. He was sure he could get promoted as long as he didn't make any big mistakes now.

“I’ve already figured out Mr. Eiichiro Yamada’s physical condition. Are you sure you don’t want to talk?”

“There’s nothing to talk about between us. I think you’re someone who doesn’t understand the situation.” This person was obviously a little angry.

“You can doubt us. I really don’t know about the youkai. It’s very possible that these are all pranks by people with ulterior motives or absurd urban legends.

What connection does Mr. Eiichiro Yamada have with youkai? This is shameless slander. He’s not in good health, but he has a passionate heart. He donated so much wealth to the country. He’s a truly great philanthropist.

We are the government, not a terrorist organization. How could we possibly use the power of youkai to threaten our own citizens? This is nonsense. This is slander against the government.

I won’t allow anyone to insult his kindness and good deeds like this. You must apologize to him.”

Looking at the righteous expression on his face, looking at Jon as if he were some kind of social garbage, a foolish person was not worth planning with.

Did he really not know?

Jon had just used Atum’s Mind Reading to observe, and what this person said was indeed the truth.

It seemed that the other side's level was too low and they were not qualified to know deeper information.

Jon immediately apologized and asked for the contact information of his leader.

Then Jon and Shuichi Yamanaka immediately drove to the Kyoto Police Headquarters in Sakura Country.

Even if Hunters wanted to meet Kiyohara, the Chief Superintendent of the Kyoto Police, it would be extremely difficult. His position was equivalent to the Director of the Provincial Public Security Bureau in Chong Country.

Fortunately, Jon's identity was not ordinary. The title of One-Star Criminal Hunter was still somewhat useful. With this identity, he finally managed to arrange a face-to-face meeting with Chief Superintendent Kiyohara.

Shuichi Yamanaka was still driving. Jon was not old enough and did not have the opportunity to get a driver's license. Even a Hunter License could not exempt him from the punishment of driving without a license unless there were special circumstances.

Furthermore, because of Jon's left hand disability, Jon would not be able to obtain an internationally recognized driver's license even when he reached the age.

Originally, Shuichi Yamanaka was helping Jon to familiarize himself with the situation. Now they were teaming up. It was really inconvenient to not have a car in Kyoto.

Even if he called a taxi, Jon still had reservations. If he really got involved in some dangerous world, he might not be able to protect ordinary people.

Investigating the youkai's secrets was definitely dangerous, and Jon was too embarrassed to involve ordinary people who were not prepared in the trouble.

Jon regarded Shuichi Yamanaka as a driver and guide, not expecting him to play a big role, as long as he was on the sidelines, not dragging him down.

Shuichi Yamanaka also regarded Jon as a backer. It was now easier to do some things that he didn't dare to do before, with Jon taking the lead.

In fact, he had thought about these guesses before, but he really couldn't find anything about this foundation, and those Chief Superintendents didn't pay attention to him at all.

They treated each other as tools.

Jon was also a relatively ideal teammate, who could be controlled with a little guidance in his words.

Moreover, the reputation of a One-Star Hunter was still very guaranteed, and he was someone who could be entrusted with his back.

It was impossible to figure out the origin and secrets of the youkai alone. Shuichi Yamanaka had his own team, which was his place disguised as a headhunting company.

He had gathered several like-minded teammates, most of whom were responsible for collecting information and logistics.

He also had cooperation with some professional Hunters, but after such a long time, there was no progress at all, and many people had given up.

He could only retreat to the second best and look for Hunters without licenses (unlicensed Hunters, capable people who had not passed the exam, calling themselves Hunters).

In recent years, even these powerful capable people were a little too expensive to hire, and the company was forced to really do headhunting, and its reputation in the industry was gradually increasing.

The mystery exploration mission, which was its main business, had been silent for four or five years, and no one invested.

Now, Shuichi Yamanaka really wanted to keep Jon, such a powerful and easy-to-deal-with teammate who didn't even cost money.

The two of them, each with their own ulterior motives, took nearly an hour to get to the Kyoto Police Headquarters.
