Having finally seen Sean off, Bert couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness whenever he mentioned him again.

He'll never forget that enormous ice dragon in his lifetime.

"Hehehe~ Although I'm old, I'm not as weak as you think."

“At least, I could teach you a lesson with one hand.” The old woman’s cloudy eyes flickered. “But if by ‘kid’ you mean that particularly tall guy…”

"To be honest, he really stumped the old woman."

The footsteps behind the stone gate faded into the distance. The old woman narrowed her eyes. Her children wouldn't lie, so if she was the one who let the person go, then someone must have done something to her back then!

"Haha, really?" Captain Red Nose was not surprised at all. He sighed and said, "It seems that nothing can stop a man who can defeat a storm with ease. Not to mention you, even the Fierce Fox family would probably be in trouble."

Wait, "What defeated the storm?"

Although I'm old, I'm not blind or deaf! Please explain this to me!

"Don't you understand the literal meaning?" Captain Red Nose said calmly, "It's that guy you mentioned who's exceptionally tall. He shattered a storm comparable to 'Poseidon' in one move."

Bert clicked his tongue and said, "You didn't see what happened. I've been sailing all these years and I've never seen such outrageous people."

"That's why I came over, to have a word with you."

Captain Red Nose recounted everything that had happened that day.

Then there was silence on the other end of the phone, only the increasingly rapid and heavy breathing and heartbeat could be heard.

"Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump." My heart is pounding wildly~

The old woman was shocked; it was irrefutable proof that he had tampered with her!

Can she shatter a storm with a single blow? That kind of power wouldn't be difficult for her to overcome.

"Have you obtained his identity?" The old woman took a deep breath, came to her senses, and reminded him, "Bert, such an outstanding genius should be reported to the higher-ups."

Captain Red Nose, with his newly acquired pipe dangling from his lips, took a deep drag and exhaled a smoke ring: "I've already reported it, but guess what?"

"They said they understand."

The old woman frowned, somewhat surprised, and said, "This reaction is rather lukewarm."

"Hey~ bland?"

The red-nosed captain sneered: "The one who said that is the chairman! Who do you think it is?"

!!!

Old woman: "."

He opened his mouth, but was speechless and choked with emotion.

The weight of words depends on who says them.

In the world of "professional hunters," I've never seen anyone whose words carry the weight of Netero's!

"If my memory is not bad, I remember that even the chairman's son, that man who is more than Yang De, didn't have this kind of treatment back then."

Beyond Netero, Portobello Gigant, and Biski Kuruga are all pillars of the Hunter Association that the Hunter Association is proud of. While King once enjoyed the same treatment as Netero, his laziness meant he was either absent from work or on his way to be absent for 360 days out of 100 years—truly shameful to admit.

“Now I have it,” Bert murmured, exhaling a smoke ring.

Then, the phone fell into an eerie silence.

No one spoke.

After a long while, having processed this shocking news, the old woman couldn't help but sigh and say, "Since the guild leader has stepped in, it means that the boy's identity is not simple."

"What's his name?"

It's not easy for someone who's old and half-buried to still have a sense of curiosity.

"Sean Zoldyck! The author of the popular manga 'Ninja Turtles' and 'Pirate King'—this case."

? ? ? !

The old woman in this case didn't hear anything about "Pirate King"; she only noticed three words—Zoldyck!

Indeed, a great reputation is well-deserved. "If he's a genius from the Zoldyck family, then it's not hard to understand why he could do something like this."

It's not hard to understand.

Captain Red Nose took out his pipe and tapped it on the gunwale. "I heard that the Zoldycks have sent three this time."

"They don't get along, this is going to be interesting."

“Three?” The old woman raised an eyebrow. “That white-haired little boy named Killua, I just saw him yesterday.”

"Who else but him?"

"The second-in-command of the Zoldyck family, I suppose." Captain Red Nose squinted and said, "The chairman mentioned him. He seems to be using an alias—something like Jitaraku. He came with that magician who killed the examiner last year."

"No wonder." The old woman's dim, yellowish eyes flickered faintly, and she chuckled.

"Both the Zoldycks and the magicians."

"Bert, this old woman has a feeling that something terrible might happen during this hunter test!"

I had sensed this long ago. The red-nosed captain gazed out to sea.

As evening fell, waves suddenly rose on the vast sea, whipping up a fierce storm.

Clearly, another storm is brewing!

Shock

"Oh, I see."

"I'll pay attention."

"Killua? He's here."

"Should I take him home now?"

"No need? Okay."

Goodbye, Dad.

"duo~"

In a secluded corner of the Hunter Exam venue.

A man with nails stuck in his face hung up the phone, looking slightly dazed.

He was dressed in green, sported a bizarre blue mohawk, had eerie purple skin, and his fingers extended out with long, sharp nails like knives. His stiff face, perhaps due to the numerous darts inserted into it, always maintained a smile.

Jitala Ku—the mysterious candidate number 301. No one knows his background, only that he might be dangerous, because he's spending time with a notorious psychopath.

Candidate number 44 – The Mad Magician Hisoka!

"Oh ho... ho... ho... your absent-minded look is truly captivating, Illumi."

"Swish~ swish~" The playing cards spun and flew rapidly in Hisoka's hands.

The magician's hair was styled on top, making him look like an adult. His face was painted with light makeup in the shapes of teardrops and stars, and a large "heart" and "diamond" were printed on his chest. Just like him, he was unpredictable and capricious.

Illumi seemed to have no intention of hiding anything from his friend, casually revealing, "Just got a call, my jerk is coming too~"

"You mean Killua over there?" Hisoka's eyebrows curved into a smile, and the corners of his mouth stretched into a deep grin, making his face look eerie and terrifying.

He waved his hand dramatically.

"No, no way! Apples that are too young will taste too sour."

Then, after a pause, she stuck out her tongue and licked her lips, gazing at Illumi with a look of fascination, and said, "If this is what you ask for, even if it's sour, I'll eat it!"

"If you dare touch him, I'll kill you!" Illumi didn't even look at Hisoka, as if he were talking about something insignificant.

However, the killing intent that suddenly erupted from him was so thick that it was impossible to dissipate.

"Is that so? Within reach." Hisoka narrowed his eyes, his body began to tremble, and he couldn't help but want to laugh maniacally.

Ah~ As expected of the red apple I set my sights on, it looks so tempting~ I really, really want to eat it right now!

"Swish, swish, swish~" The playing cards were flipped faster and faster, and finally "snap" they came together... The magician finally took a deep breath and calmed down.

He pinched his chin with one hand and grunted, "Since it's not Killua, then it can only be Sean Zoldyck, the one you're so obsessed with."

"How about it? Killua can't kill him, but I can, right?" Hisoka hooked his arm around Illumi's neck, breathed into his ear, and his smile gradually turned sinister.

Illumi glanced at him expressionlessly: "Of course, if you can do it."

"Oh ho ho ho~ That's so exciting~"

With a "whoosh," the playing card was suddenly pulled apart, its edges sharper than steel knives, gleaming with a deadly cold light.

Hisoka released Illumi, licked his lips, and squinted at the distant horizon.

It has deviated from the question-and-answer town.

Two hours had passed since Sean and his group left, and they still hadn't emerged from the path leading to the cedar trees at the summit.

Leorio was already exhausted, so he immediately gave up and squatted down on the ground with his briefcase.

"How much longer until we get there? I'm exhausted. Maybe I should take a break."

I don't know what this guy ate to grow up like this. He looks very tall, but he has the worst physical fitness among us.

"Thump~ Thump~ Thump~" Two whirlwinds appeared on his feet. Sean effortlessly seemed to be walking, but in reality, he was flying thanks to his [Wind] ability.

He strolled leisurely, glancing at Leorio. He had already thoroughly understood the physical abilities of the three little ones when they first met.

Gon's physique is 75, Kurapika's is 61, and Leorio's is a ridiculously low 15, barely exceeding 30. Just as he said, he's nothing more than an ordinary person.

In the original story, after finishing their exams, the group visited the Zoldyck family, but they couldn't even open the first of the seven gates and needed special training from Kaito Kid. This shows that they were truly beyond useless.

"Almost there, Leorio, just hang in there a little longer." Kurapika and Gon stood side by side, closely following behind Sean, and he said in a deep voice, "The Hunter Exam is held in different places every year."

"If we want to get through here, we have to find the tour guide that Grandma mentioned earlier."

"Only they can lead us to the examination venue."

Xiao Jie then asked curiously, "What do tour guides look like? Will they make things difficult for us like that old lady from earlier?"

"This..." Kurapika had no idea.
