Chapter 394 - It's Lonely At The Top

In order to pass on excellent genes to future generations, the Chimera Ant Queen will collect genes from stronger creatures and continue to eat the species she likes until the species becomes extinct.

Because of their amazing appetite, they eat several times their own weight in a day.

That is why the Chimera Ant is listed as a first-level quarantine designated insect.

As a mutant from the Dark Continent, the Chimera Ant Queen with wisdom and a huge body is even more dangerous and terrifying.

After eating fish, bats, seagulls, crabs, shrimps, and other foods, the Chimera Ant Queen also laid a lot of Chimera Ant soldier's eggs and waited for them to hatch.

On the other side, Gon and Kite also rushed to the Kakin Empire.

After connecting with Mr. Weng, a civil servant of the Kakin Empire who had been communicating with Kite's team, several people also saw the remains of the Chimera Ant Queen found in the Kakin Empire.

In the storage room, everyone also saw the huge claws.

"This guy, conservatively estimated to be more than two meters!"

Killua gave his own judgment as soon as he saw the limbs.

He also took a few more glances at the claws on the limbs.

The sharpness is comparable to that of the three-headed ants he raised at home.

"But this is the meaning of exploration, isn't it?!"

Gon is still full of curiosity and desire to explore everything.

He was looking forward to actually practicing the hunter profession.

It was also his father, Ging, who had been walking on this path, which attracted him and made him keep doing this profession to the point that he left him behind.

The group did not delay too much, and they were not interested in the unrest in the country.

Even if Gon and Killua knew about the affairs between the Phantom Troupe and Kurapika.

But now Kurapika is still in the game of Greed Island and has no time to take care of things outside.

And with Lan's intervention, the affairs of the Phantom Troupe seem to be not so important at the moment.

Killua and Gon knew that the Phantom Troupe was not an ordinary Nen user, and they had also been upgraded to an S-level criminal group.

For such people, they would not take unnecessary risks to have intersections with them.

So, after the group had gotten the remains of the Chimera Ant Queen, they left immediately.

After a short rest, the group continued to move towards the Neo-Green Life (NGL) Autonomous Region.

This is the place where the Chimera Ant landed, which Kite concluded based on his many years of biological investigation experience.

And the fact proved that Kite's inference was not wrong.

However, he doesn't know whether this result is good or bad.

… … … …

At the same time, on the other side, in the headquarters building of the Hunter Association.

"So much trouble!!"

Mr. Beans was sorting out the materials to the point his scalp went numb.

There are still many materials that need to be written, and he is rushing to finish all the work.

Of course, these are not the most important things. There are still many important documents that need to be signed and many important events that require the Hunter Association to attend.

And the person who needs to attend, without a doubt, is Chairman Netero.

But…

"Why is the Chairman doing it again? Why is this still the case?!!"

Mr. Beans was wailing in pain while grabbing his scalp.

Although this happened more than once or twice, every time it happened.

Mr. Beans couldn't help but go crazy.

He couldn't help but grit his teeth, harden his heart, and get angry… He can only get angry...

He was just a poor bean; what could he do?

At that moment, he sighed deeply.

He could only suppress the sadness in his heart, and he continued to deal with a series of things at hand.

As for the person involved, the Chairman of the association, Isaac Netero, who was needed to come forward… was leisurely sipping the fragrant tea in the room.

Of course, he was not without things to do and deliberately putting pressure on the Beans.

At this moment, his feet were supporting the bottom of the tea, his head was on the tray, and there was a phone hanging on his ear.

"So you called me specifically just to talk about something about the little ants, right?"

Netero said while sipping tea.

"This should not be considered a little ant…"

At the other end of the phone also came Lan's rather lazy voice: "The characteristics of the Chimera Ant, I don't need to tell you, I guess you should know it, Chairman?"

"Yes, I know."

Netero put down the teacup and stroked his hooked beard: "It's just that it can devour the genes of other races to combine with its own offspring."

"The worst result is nothing more than eating humans and the Nen users among humans."

Netero laughed: "I really want to see what ants that know Nen look like."

"What if those ants eat the Nen users of the Hunter Association?"

"The Hunter Association will not just sit there and do nothing."

Netero swayed: "But before that, I can't stop a hunter's courage to pursue and explore."

"Not only can the Hunter Association not stop it, but V5 will not stop it either."

Well, what it means is that behind this incident, there is a component of V5's tacit approval.

Even their Hunter Association cannot interfere too much, right?

Lan understood the meaning behind Netero's words.

So, it is impossible to expect the Hunter Association to do anything.

Not to mention that Pariston is the undercover agent sent by Beyond Netero, who was the mastermind behind all of this.

With his cooperation within the Hunter Association, the incident of the Chimera Ant will only be allowed to ferment freely.

Until V5 realizes the seriousness of the problem, then it's time for the Hunter Association to appear.

Lan understood this, and at the same time, he also felt that in addition to this reason.

Netero himself also wants to see what kind of Chimera Ant will be born.

Especially the Chimera Ant Queen, who wants to cultivate the King of the Chimera Ants.

The King, bred by the power and nutrients of a large number of Nen users, is absolutely amazing in terms of strength and other aspects.

After Netero came down the mountain, he founded the Shingen-ryu and the Hunter Association.

Part of the Dark Continent has also been explored.

For him, this world has become a little boring. 

The only thing that can rekindle his interest is another equally matched opponent who can make his blood boil.

He has been in this world for too long, has been the world's number one for too long, and has been lonely for too long.

If he could have a powerful opponent who was not human so that he could unbridledly and unreservedly display all his abilities and strengths… Netero is also looking forward to it.

"By the way, why are you so concerned about Chimera Ant?"

Netero shook his head: "Is this something you need to consider as a mafia?"

"No, I'm not interested in Chimera Ant…"

Lan, who was regarded as a mafia, chuckled: "I'm just interested in the guy behind the Chimera Ant, who is in charge of all this, and what he wants to do with the Chimera Ant."

"Huh?"

"Well, it's what your son, Beyond Netero, and the Kakin Empire want to do."

"So you already know Beyond Netero; yes, I heard that the useless kid is recruiting people everywhere, saying that he is very reliable, but…"

Netero didn't feel any surprise: "As long as a third person knows about something besides the two people, it is no longer a secret."

In his eyes, Beyond Netero is still a child who has not grown up and is useless.

Although this child is already over 60 years old.
