From Hunter x Hunter to Supreme Will

With his absolutely powerful self and overwhelming authority, he will get... the 'freedom' he has always wanted!

Chapter 222 Save or not?

Long and his two companions stayed in this town for a few days, equipped themselves with simple equipment, and then set off for Dongguotu.

During this period, Long contacted Bisiji.

I learned that President Netero's condition has almost been adjusted.

Xiaojie already knew about Kate... The child didn't say it, but Biscuit could tell from Xiaojie's expression that Xiaojie was aware that Kate was dead.

The news of Kate's death has not been announced to the public yet, which may be because Netero is protecting Xiaojie.

But Gon is no fool... He hangs out with Killua all day, and he can get a clue from the latter's reactions and words.

Killua can't hide things from Gon...

However, Biscuit said that Xiaojie was in a good mood. Maybe he didn't want others to worry, or maybe he felt that the fight against the Ant King was about to begin and he didn't want everyone's attention to be focused on himself.

After hearing this, Long smiled knowingly.

This is indeed Xiaojie's character.

Of course, Biscuit also asked about some things about the Oboro team, such as whether he was in NGL... the matter of the Chimera Ants, whether he had anything to do with it, etc. Oboro did not hide anything and said frankly that he was indeed nearby, and the president was also aware of this... He would not participate in the missions and actions of the expedition team.

This made Biscuit quite dissatisfied...he felt that Long was shirking responsibility.

Because if Long was there, it would undoubtedly be easier for them to deal with the Ant King, and the casualty rate would also be greatly reduced.

Oboro only told her to seek the president's opinion. If Netero asked him to participate in the operation, he would naturally accept it...

After hearing what Long said, Bisiji was speechless, but his tone was very resentful.

After all, at the meeting on the crusade, Netero had said personally that with him taking action, there was no need for more people to risk their lives and join in.

If it weren't for the previous relationship between Gon and Killua and Kate, the president wouldn't even let the two children come forward...

"The president knows everything about me... He is making a bet with me. Besides, what he cares about most is the association... not individuals." Walking on the road away from the town entrance, Long said to Biscuit on the other end of the phone with a smile on his face.

"Long, what did you do?"

The old woman sensed the hidden meaning in his words and her voice sank.

"I think he will die at the hands of the Ant King, but the old man doesn't think so... Maybe my affairs can be hidden from some people in the association, but you can more or less guess some of it." Long walked on his own, with Anthony and Fant on his left and right. "Putting aside Pariston and the Twelve Earthly Branches, what do you think will happen if I leave the association, become a crime hunter, or break up with others...without the president?"

"..."

Biscuit lost his voice.

The Association will be in chaos!

Even if calm is restored, it may take a long time.

"Long, I'm warning you..."

Biscuit took a deep breath. The current Long was no longer the little brat she had seen at the Sky Arena. "Don't attack the president. If you do... I will kill you! I swear..."

"What are you thinking? Don't get me wrong. I said the president was going to die simply because he had too much on his shoulders. I had no intention of doing anything tricky when he was fighting the ant king. Just like I said, in terms of pure strength, the president can't beat that monster..."

Long smiled dumbly and explained, "I'm telling you this simply because I think you have a good relationship with Mo Laowu and Nuobu. If something happens to the president, from the perspective of the entire association... I hope you can convince these two people, as well as some senior veterans in the association, to support my promotion."

"If something goes wrong with the succession, it will be bad for everyone. Besides... this is also what the president doesn't want to see, you know?"

"..."

Seeing that Bisiji didn't respond, Long raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why? You don't believe that the old man will fail?"

"You know me...I never lie."

"President, it's impossible to fail." Biscuit said firmly.

"Yes... He will also complete this mission 'successfully'..."

Long emphasized the word "perfect" and said, "But you will support me in the future, right?"

"will not."

Bisiji's voice was a little cold, as if at this moment, the two of them were just colleagues and there was no emotional connection between them.

"Management matters are between the Twelve Earthly Branches and the Association's top management. They have nothing to do with me."

"Ugh."

Long sighed, as if he had expected Biscuit to answer like this.

"I just need you to keep an eye on Nobu and Mo Laowu..."

beep.

After Long finished speaking, the phone went busy and Bisiji hung up.

"Didn't you agree?" Anthony on the side glanced over and asked.

"There was no direct response and the attitude was rather vague...but I think she will understand." Long smiled.

Put your phone away.

"It doesn't matter... I just want to take the position of president relatively smoothly and peacefully... This way, it will be better for everyone. But if you want to make a fuss, then each of us will use our own means."

Hazy said calmly.

He was not worried about Bisiji... Even if he didn't help him, Bisiji would not turn against him. At most, he would just watch from the sidelines.

However, if an older generation hunter like Biscuit could stand up, it would undoubtedly be more beneficial to Long.

"gone."

After thinking about it, Long greeted him.

The three of them immediately quickened their pace and sped away from the ground.

Long had actually met Xiaojie, but the latter did not notice him.

At that time, Xiaojie was dating Pangmu...so it was inconvenient for Long to disturb them.

In the process of communicating with Biscuit, the latter revealed that Xiaojie said that even if Kate died, her body must be found... but this is no longer possible. In the original work, Kate died at the hands of Catwoman and was kept as a "collection" by Neferpitou, so her body was preserved... and now, it is most likely eaten by the Queen Ant.

Xiaojie insisted on participating in the mission in order to see it through to the end and fulfill his long-cherished wish.

But now there is no Catwoman...

I don’t know if Xiaojie will turn evil again.

If he hadn't turned evil, he wouldn't have lost his mind and become an ordinary person, and there wouldn't have been a plot where Killua took the risk to bring Alluka out... Or, maybe several protagonists would have boarded the Black Whale and reunited with Kurapika.

As for Zai Luo, Long didn't care either.

I guess he has already left... and headed for Meteor Street.

……

Long had been to Dongguotu before, so he was very familiar with this closed small country.

The situation here is much better than that in NGL. When I came to complete the mission of the Bozwa people, I felt that this land was very barren. Now I realize that at least this country has a complete system and military management, although it is a dictatorship.

But it is also a complete country.

Unlike NGL, which merely gathered a large number of armed forces.

NGL was established only a few decades ago... As a country, it is still too young.

However, Dongguotu had several kings.

Stepping into this land again was not as tedious as the last time, because the checkpoints or borders had long been unguarded... Along the way to the royal city, there were many abandoned villages and towns, and the residents had long since migrated... Some ran away, and some may have met with accidents before they could even run away.

The country changed hands, the entire royal city fell... What the Bozwa people couldn't do with the power of the ritual was now accomplished by just three ants.

In other words, it was just the work of Pufu, a member of the king's personal guard.

There are still many Chimera Ants that came from NGL in Dongguotu... All of them, without exception, have their souls harvested by Long.

The terrain of Dongguotu is also mountainous, but the royal city is built on a vast plain.

It was built in a very grand and majestic manner. The entire city was a square frame located on the ground. The buildings in the city were lined up one after another, full of exotic style.

Due to the dictatorial political situation in East Godot and the king's extravagant lifestyle, he was willing to spend a lot of money to decorate the little piece of land where he lived.

The country's limited resources have been almost completely exploited and sold...

"The combined territories of NGL and Dongguotuo are enough for the Firth family... but it's not good to call it a country. V5 won't make concessions blindly. Let's use NGL as a precedent to test their attitude. If it works, it would be great... even if it's just an empty title, it's still a country."

"If that doesn't work, we will order a special zone... to turn these two pieces of land into the 'world factory'..."

The next day, under the cover of night.

With thoughts running through his mind, Long led his two teammates to a place several dozen miles away from the royal city.

Standing here, one can already see the shadows of the royal capital's walls in a line in the distance.

But there are no bustling lights and noise of the city like in the outside world.

"It's so quiet... so quiet it's a little scary."

Anthony pursed his lips and said, "So, since we got close to the Royal City, we haven't seen any living people, right?"

Although Chimera Ants occasionally appeared throughout the country, the people of Dongguotuo did not die or flee. There were still many survivors. The three of them met many of them in the past two days. They also learned from a local that the new king was looking for top talents in various fields in Dongguotuo to come to the palace for an audience.

“Ants are ants…”

Long collected his thoughts, looked ahead at the capital city under the night sky, and said lightly: "He has occupied the magpie's nest. Although he has become the ruler of a country with brute force, he does not know how to manage and operate it." To put it bluntly, he has just occupied a palace alone and called himself the king.

For example, the loss of borders, the loss of nationals, etc.

From the perspective of ants or livestock, if they seize human territory, they will naturally become the king, no problem...

But judging from human background, it is definitely the worst.

"But he does have the potential to become a qualified king."

Then, Long changed the subject.

"Captain, are you praising it or belittling it?" Anthony was confused.

"It is trying to understand humans... or you could say, learn from them. It is not blindly launching wars or directly expanding its territory, which means... it is still prepared." Long said softly.
