Swardani City, Hunters Association's headquarters.
After the oppressive gaze disappeared, everything returned to calm.
Moses felt somewhat puzzled by this.
He thought of Netero, but without evidence, he could only temporarily set this matter aside.
Pyon, however, seriously pointed out the possibility that there were enemies of Moses in the association's building.
This somewhat irresponsible, half-joking remark didn't need further investigation or verification.
"Don't worry, with me by your side, your 'enemy' definitely won't dare to make any reckless moves."
Before leading Moses into the Hunter Association's headquarters, Pyon confidently gave this assurance.
However, this assurance only lasted for less than ten minutes.
"Kester, go sit on that chair over there for a while. I'm going to attend a meeting and will be back soon."
When she suddenly received a call, she hastily instructed Moses, then turned and left.
Left in place alone, Moses could only watch Pyon leave.
"A meeting…"
Looking at the direction in which Pyon left, certain images emerged in Moses's mind.
A seat in the meeting room that has been vacant for thousands of years…
Netero dozing off while picking his ear,
Pariston enthusiastically causing trouble...
Finally, there is Cheadle earnestly wanting to resolve the issue as soon as possible.
These images, constructed by Moses's 'cognition' flashed through his mind.
'Because the actual danger of Swamp Man is greater, the focus of the Hunter Association... has temporarily shifted from the Nen Space issue to the Swamp Man issue.'
'With the capabilities of the Hunter Association, they should be able to control the situation soon.'
Moses thought to himself, then took out his phone and dialed Sanbica's number.
In just two seconds, the call was answered.
'So fast…'
Moses was surprised and thought that Sanbica might not be busy at the moment. It's very likely that she was playing with her phone during break time, which is why she could answer the call so quickly.
"Sanbica, do you have time now?"
Although he thought so, Moses asked as usual.
"I do."
Sanbica's soft voice came from the phone.
Moses leaned against the corridor wall and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"Not yet."
"Are you hungry?"
"Mmm… a little."
"I just arrived at the association's headquarters, how about we have a meal together? My treat."
"Sure."
"Then, I'll wait for you at the elevator on the first floor."
"Um."
The call ended.
Moses put away his phone and walked towards the elevator.
There's no way he would just wait here for Pyon to finish the meeting.
Meanwhile…
In the office area outside the laboratory.
Sanbica slowly put away her phone.
Not far away…
A mature woman in a white coat with wavy hair was walking over while holding a cup of coffee.
"Sanbica, you want to go out?"
She had noticed Sanbica's phone call just now.
Although the words Sanbica used to reply to the incoming call were concise to the point of leaving her speechless, she could still barely tell that the caller wanted to invite Sanbica out for a meal.
"Um."
Sanbica stood up from her seat and nodded towards the woman.
The mature woman teased: "Is this a date?"
"No."
Sanbica quickly shook his head.
The mature woman did not question her further and suggested: "Since you're going out, take this opportunity to take a day off."
"No, I still have a lot of work to do."
Sanbica shook her head again, and then looked at the various documents that needed to be processed on her desk.
The mature woman smiled helplessly when she saw this.
She knew about Sanbica's work responsibilities under her jurisdiction, and in reality, they were already completed.
It's just that Sanbica loves this profession, so she was unwilling to be idle at all.
"Go."
The mature woman didn't say anything more and smiled as she pushed Sanbica out of the office.
On the first floor of the association's building. Moses stood not far from the elevator, waiting for Sanbica to come down.
Ding-
The elevator's door opens, and Sanbica walked out of the elevator.
Moses followed the sound and looked at Sanbica, who is still fully covered as ever.
"Sanbica, here."
Moses waved his hand to call her.
Hearing Moses's call, Sanbica's eyes curved slightly and she walked over quickly.
"Moses."
She came to Moses with her head slightly lowered, seeming a little restrained.
Moses smiled and asked: "Is there a famous restaurant nearby?"
"I... don't know."
Sanbica replied softly.
Sometimes, she would forget even to eat, let alone pay attention to good places to eat.
Seeing that Sanbica couldn't give any suggestions, Moses thought for a while and suggested: "Then let's stroll around nearby. If we see a place we like, we can go in."
"Um."
Sanbica readily agreed.
Subsequently, the two left the association's building and began wandering around.
After walking for a while, Moses's gaze swept over the passing crowd from time to time.
In this short distance, he had already sensed the auras of four Swamp People.
Since Davidson had held a book signing event in Swardani City before, after more than a month of discreet spreading, it is not surprising that Swardani City, one of the 'birthplaces', would become a heavily affected area.
"Moses, what's wrong?"
Sanbica keenly sensed Moses's strangeness.
Moses smiled and said, "It's nothing."
After saying that, he pointed to a ramen shop on the street that seems to be doing very well and asked, "Sanbica, how about that place?"
"It's fine with me."
Sanbica glanced at the ramen shop Moses was referring to. Through the glass doors and windows, she could see a lot of customers inside.
"Then let's go to that one."
Moses made a decision instantly and led Sanbica straight to the ramen shop.
Entering the noodle shop, they were guided by a waiter to the seats near the window.
"Take a look at the menu."
Moses pushed the menu towards Sanbica.
Then, he glanced around.
In this spacious ramen shop, almost every seat was occupied by customers.
'13…'
Moses sensed the aura of 13 Swamp People in this ramen shop.
This shows how serious the spread was in Swardani City.
It must be known that this place is near the Hunter Association's headquarters.
After discreetly withdrawing his gaze, Moses took the menu pushed over by Sanbica and, to the astonishment of the waiter, ordered ten bowls of ramen in one go.
After the waiter turned around and left, Moses took out the bank card that Sanbica had given him before and pushed it in front of Sanbica.
Sanbica first looked down at the bank card, then raised her head to look at Moses, with a hint of confusion in her eyes.
"Sanbica, help me initiate a commission to the association."
Facing Sanbica's confused gaze, Moses said calmly: "I want to find a wanted criminal named Dis Mendeck. There is more than 40 million Jenny in this card, which should be enough."
"Okay."
The confusion in Sanbica's eyes quickly faded away, and she nodded in agreement at Moses's request.
After a while…
The waiter brought eleven bowls of ramen one after another.
Moses buried his head and wolfed down the food without caring about his image.
Seeing Moses's eating posture, Sanbica's dark eyes revealed a hint of amusement.
Half an hour later…
Moses finished eating the ramen and let out a sigh of satisfaction.
"Ring, ring—"
At this moment, his phone suddenly rang.
Moses wiped his mouth with a tissue and then took out his phone.
On the screen, the name 'Bunny Girl' was flashing.
'It's Pyon calling…'
'Is the meeting over?'
Moses wondered.
