Professional matters should be handled by professionals.
This is the consensus of every country regarding certain phenomena.
Therefore, even the five most powerful countries in the world, when facing relatively challenging problems, will directly commission the Hunter Association to resolve them.
With the coverage of Stargazing over the entire area and the dangerous entity Libra within the Nen Space, the threat level is significant and cannot be ignored.
Hence, it is basically a certainty that the country would seek the assistance of the Hunter Association.
Before that, Cheadle, as one of the involved parties, had the obligation to report the specific reasons for this incident to the association.
However, she would conceal the secret about Moses, treating it as if everyone else, except her, was trapped in the Stargazing's space.
After dialing the number, it was answered after several tens of seconds.
As soon as the call was connected, Netero's iconic laughter could be heard from the phone.
Hearing this familiar laughter, Cheadle's body subconsciously tensed up.
It's because she was about to lie to the Chairman whom she had always admired and respected.
"Chairman, there's something I need to report to you."
Cheadle got straight to the point, trying to make her voice as calm as possible to cover up her inner turmoil.
"Hoho."
Netero's laughter came through the phone, "Such a formal opening, seems like it's something important."
"Well, I can put aside what I'm doing and listen to what you have to report."
"Chairman."
Hearing this, Cheadle hesitated and said: "If there's something urgent on your end..."
"Hoho."
Netero said lightly: "It's just a challenge to drink a liter of soda using a twenty-meter straw, not something urgent. I can stop what I'm doing and hear what you have to report first."
"..."
Cheadle was stunned for a moment. Envisioning Netero's playful demeanor, she sighed inwardly.
Then, she reported the events happening here to Netero.
Throughout the whole process, Netero said nothing and listened quietly to Cheadle's report.
"Well…"
After hearing the report, Netero started pondering.
Cheadle didn't speak, waiting somewhat cautiously for Netero's response.
For her, who has high self-esteem, concealing some facts in important reporting content is tantamount to a great mistake.
"Cheadle."
After a while, Netero's slow and deliberate voice came through the phone: "Sometimes, you shouldn't force yourself too much."
"Uh…"
Cheadle's breathing slightly hitched.
She understood the implication in Netero's words, and figured that what she tried to conceal was probably noticed.
"Hoho."
Netero chuckled and seemed not to mind Cheadle's behavior. He then said seriously: "Anyway, I'm coming over to your side now."
"Eh? Chairman, you will come in person?"
Cheadle was shocked and confused.
With the abundance of talent in the association now, any troublesome or challenging tasks wouldn't necessitate the Chairman's personal involvement.
Reporting this matter to Netero in advance was merely to let the association prepare in advance, so she didn't expect Netero to come personally.
"After all, it is a rarely seen Post-Mortem Nen Space. If it is not resolved as soon as possible, it will be even more troublesome when it turns into a 'Mystic Realm'. Moreover, according to what you said, the threat level of that Post-Mortem Item is also not to be underestimated."
Netero rarely dropped his usual nonchalant attitude and spoke with seriousness.
"I understand…"
Cheadle looked serious, then suddenly changed the direction of the conversation and asked: "Chairman, there's one more thing… What are your plans regarding the remnants of the Seirin Group?"
"…"
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
After a long time, Netero's slightly helpless voice came through: "Although they were my former colleagues, they have completely separated from the association now. Therefore, the rules in the Ten Hunter Articles can't be applied to them."
He didn't say 'former colleagues of the association', but 'my former colleagues' instead.
This is because-
Netero was also a member of the Seirin Group before taking up the position of the Hunter Association's Chairman.
"Understood…"
Cheadle did not continue to dwell on this topic, and said softly: "I will wait for you here."
After a casual exchange, the two ended the communication.
That night. Netero boarded the association's private aircraft and headed towards Cheadle's location.
At the same time.
Wearing only a pair of boxers, Moses walked along a small path towards the nearby village.
When passing a farmhouse on the way, Moses stopped. Using the faint light of the night, he looked into the courtyard of the farmhouse.
In the middle of the courtyard, there is a clothesline set up with wooden poles, with many clothes hanging on it.
Moses hesitated for a moment, closed his Aura nodes, and entered the courtyard in Zetsu state.
He glanced at a big yellow dog sleeping beside the gate, and slowly took a set of clothes of similar size from the clothesline. He then left a large denomination banknote and quietly left the courtyard.
After putting on the clothes he 'bought' from the farmhouse, Moses quickened his pace, reaching the village under the cover of the night.
At this time, it was already late at night.
The quiet village, devoid of entertainment facilities, is silent, with not a single soul on the road and lights were scarce.
Moses went to the grocery store first, and slipped a few banknotes into the crack of the door.
This is the money Hawk owes for tobacco and alcohol, which was originally intended to be settled at the end of the month.
Afterward, Moses went to the butcher shop and the grain shop one after another, settling Hawk's debts one by one.
After completing these tasks, without looking back, Moses quietly left the village.
"212 Turmeric Street, Spice City, Covariant Law Firm, Lisha…"
This is the information written on the note provided by Cheadle.
According to what Cheadle said, Moses needed to find this person named Lisha, who seemed to be a professional lawyer.
"Spice City."
Moses carefully put away the note.
Not knowing if Cheadle explained everything properly to this Lisha, Moses considered it necessary to keep the note.
After all, the handwriting on the note is the most powerful evidence of his identity.
"The travel expenses are completely sufficient, the problem is..."
Moses glanced at the remaining money, muttering to himself with embarrassment: "Does Cheadle know that I don't have an ID card?"
Moreover, Moses, who has been an introvert for a year and spends most of his time reading books in the temple, does not know where Spice City is located, let alone how far away it is and how to get there.
However, with sufficient travel funds, these things are not considered difficult.
What truly stumped Moses is—
He has no ID card. In a sense, he is like people from Meteor City.
So even if he has enough travel funds, he can't buy an airship ticket to Spice City.
"Let's go to the nearest city first and see if there is a place to get fake IDs."
Moses roughly determined a direction.
Before leaving, he looked back at the Nen Space standing under the night sky.
'Stargazing…'
He has a general understanding of this ability's principles.
For Nen Exorcism, the most crucial method is not transferring them, but rather the process of sublimating them.
In this process, besides the risk that Nen Exorcist bear, there is also the challenge of not being able to digest the transferred Nen before a specific 'countdown' expires, leading to the Nen rebounding on oneself.
As for Elena's ability, Stargazing, after storing the Nen into her space, she will use the "time dilation" mechanism to eliminate the time limit factor, thus providing sufficient time to digest the transferred Nen.
Now, this ability has become stronger after her death, and it seems the intensity has further grown...
There's no need to elaborate on the size of the space. And it can even encompass "living beings" now.
As for the "time dilation" mechanism, after further enhancement, it is likely close to the point of "time stop".
Therefore-
That's why Hawk's Nen, which is isolated from the outside world, did not disappear.
'Ah, that's right.'
'That Nen Exorcist…'
Moses looked back again, expressing silent condolences in his heart.
