Once a Pro Hunter determines their target, they won't easily give up.
This is also why Biscuit quietly found her way to this place.
"See you tomorrow, little brother Kester~!"
A smile appeared on Biscuit's face as she slowly turned and walked away.
After exiting the alley, she came to the pedestrian street and merged into the crowd of people passing by. At the end of the pedestrian street was a two-way road.
At this moment, black cars were speeding along the road, their continuous engine roars and screeching brakes attracting the attention of many pedestrians, including Biscuit.
She looked up at the black cars speeding along the road, estimating there's at least fifteen of them.
"It'll not be a calm night."
Withdrawing her gaze from the road, Biscuit headed towards the nearby hotel.
The day after tomorrow is the gem exchange meeting, and the high-speed car chase she just witnessed seems to foreshadow some upcoming storm.
'Hopefully, it won't affect the gem exchange meeting the day after tomorrow.'
But Biscuit wasn't surprised by this. Because her impression of Spice City mainly focused on two aspects.
One is the numerous gem collectors, and the other is the infamous G-Drug, which went from informal to formal, causing many families to fall apart.
The existence of the former was the inducement for her to interact with Spice City.
The existence of the latter has made Spice City a stronghold for gangs. The gangs rooted here have used legalized G-Drugs to generate substantial profits, and at the same time, also contributed to Spice City's economic benefits, propelling it to the status of a first-class city.
The swiftly passing car convoy just now was presumably affiliated with the gangs.
Who knows what happened to make these gangs so agitated.
However, these things have nothing to do with Biscuit.
She only cares about how to get the 'sapphire' from Moses, and to join in the fun at the gem exchange meeting the day after tomorrow. If she is lucky, she might find one or two gems she likes.
Turmeric Street, Covariant Law Firm.
"At that time, in the eyes of many Pro Hunters in the association, Seirin Group was a group of monsters. Any difficult mission could be solved as long as Seirin Group took action. Gradually, Seirin Group was known as a legend by the outside world."
"Perhaps due to the rise in status or the fame coming from all directions, the former Chairman of the association, who single-handedly founded the Seirin Group, and the increasingly powerful members of the Seirin Group, gradually lost their way."
"They began to think of themselves as superior to others, and over time they developed a notion that... an association gathering numerous powerful Nen users should not be inferior to V5."
"The disagreement started from this point on."
"Some members of the Seirin Group, led by Netero, couldn't agree with the former Chairman's ideology. This internal disagreement and discord ultimately suffocated the ambitions of the former Chairman and those Seirin Group's members."
"Even Master doesn't know the exact details of the struggle at that time. Considering Master's inquisitive nature, she must have inquired about it from Chairman Netero at that time, but Chairman Netero likely remained silent about it."
"Master didn't inquire further into the reasons and only knew that the result of that struggle was Netero taking over the position of the association's Chairman. The Seirin Group, however, ceased to exist and soon withdrew from the stage."
"But in reality, the former Chairman's Seirin Group faction that was defeated in the struggle, did not completely disappear. It was Chairman Netero, considering their past contributions, who gave them a lifeline."
"However... as humans who has been dominated by desires and ambitions, after experiencing a period of expansion, they can't easily return to their original intentions."
"Moreover, Nen gradually strengthens the convictions rooted deep within the hearts of Nen users."
"So those members of the Seirin Goup, who survived the struggle, did not appreciate it. Instead, they shouted loudly about the former Chairman's aspirations, intending to create a new Hunter Association."
"But how could the V5 at that time let them have their way? They directly shattered their slogan with practical actions."
"Since then, the Seirin Goup has completely disappeared from people's sight."
"It wasn't until thirteen years ago that Master came into contact with the remnants of the Seirin Goup in an incident. From this, she learned that the Seirin Goup hadn't perished, but had been lurking all this time."
At this point, Lisha looked at Moses, who was listening quietly, and then noticed Moses suddenly sighing, finding it strange.
How could she know that the reason why Moses sighed is because he was worried that she would unnecessarily pad her answers when responding to questions?
After all, the phone call on the airship had left a deep impression on him.
"The incident thirteen years ago…"
Moses met Lisha's gaze.
"Yes."
Lisha knew what Moses wanted to say, so she directly gave an affirmative answer.
"According to Master, Seirin Group, that has been lurking all this time, is committed to collecting various Post-Mortem Items with strange powers. The Post-Mortem Items that Hawk brought out from the ruins happened to attract the attention of Seirin Group, thus leading to your mother…"
Lisha did not continue.
Moses fell silent at her words.
Through Lisha's more detailed narration, he learned that the Seirin Goup, which only caused a small ripple in the original work, actually had such a past.
'As for the Double-Star Hunter, who, in the election arc, loudly proclaimed to rebuild the glory of the Seirin Goup in the name of inheriting the late Netero's will, they couldn't even be considered as high-quality imitations, and their ultimate fate was being slaughtered by Hisoka.'
'Right now, there's still more than six years until the start of the plot.'
'During these six years of lying low, did the Seirin Goup, which had been dormant until now, experience another demise after being exposed and coming to the surface?'
'That's why this matter has never been revealed since the plot of the original work began?'
'If that's the case—'
'What prompted the Seirin Goup's demise again? Was it due to Cheadle's influence? Or is it Netero's suggestion?'
Moses attempted to find information from the original work, but came up empty-handed. It's because there is too little mention related to the Seirin Goup in the original work.
'Why am I pondering these questions? Is it because, after confirming the strength of Seirin Group, I hope to rely on some uncertain help that may exist in future plot developments?'
Moses's eyebrows suddenly furrowed, and he decisively discarded these distracting thoughts that would only hinder his own growth.
What does it matter if he's weak now?
After countless turns, he will inevitably become strong.
What he should consider is how to become strong as soon as possible.
So strong that the remnants of the so-called Seirin Group lie dead before him.
Moses's thoughts suddenly became clear and resolute.
"Perception is full of expectations for you. Your training efficiency increases by 100% for the next 30 days."
'Eh?'
…
Under the night sky, the Nen Space that covers the entire area stood like an unscalable mountain peak.
An airship from the Hunter Association was parked not far from the Nen space, and a few figures stood nearby.
Among them were Cheadle, as well as Netero and others who had rushed here day and night, along with the Association's only Nen Exorcist.
"I can feel... a risk far beyond the limit."
"No, with my strength alone, it's impossible."
The Nen Exorcist brought by Netero stared blankly at the Nen Space standing in front of her.
