Chapter 67

"I don't understand! If Pairo can easily earn a lot of money with his abilities, why would he take such huge risks to accept commissions from warlords and extremist groups to carry out terrorist attacks?" Allen's face showed a puzzled expression.

After all, even if the warlords and extremist groups offered high commissions, they couldn't possibly match the substantial earnings from providing important materials to the wealthy Hunter Association.

Moreover, due to the special nature of Nen abilities, this business is a complete monopoly, with no need to worry about any technical leaks.

Kido turned around and stared deeply into Allen's eyes, taking a full minute before answering, "Pairo isn't doing this for the money! He wants to take revenge on society.

Because he was originally a secret chemical weapons researcher in a small country. One day, due to the pressure from V5, the entire base was abandoned by the higher-ups, and the self-destruct mechanism was activated.

Including him, all the researchers were trapped in the laboratory for a whole month, surrounded by the terrifying toxic solutions and gases they had created themselves.

In the end, out of more than 300 people in the base, only he survived and awakened his Nen ability.

Since then, this madman has been accepting commissions under the guise of employment, carrying out terrorist attacks all over the world, spreading pain and death to vent his inner anger.

Even among A-rank wanted criminals, Pairo is one of the most dangerous and deranged.

So by taking him out this time, you've eliminated a huge threat for the Association and V5. I'm sure many people will secretly breathe a sigh of relief."

"A pitiful political victim? His life is truly tragic," Allen sighed slightly.

As for sympathizing with a madman who has killed hundreds of innocent civilians just to take revenge on society, anyone with a functioning brain wouldn't have such thoughts.

In fact, what he hates the most is when people deliberately use so-called "tragic childhoods or lives" to stir emotions, forcing evil actions to be justified as some kind of "reasonable revenge," thereby whitewashing the "scum" who have committed heinous crimes and eliciting cheap sympathy.

People must take responsibility for their actions and be prepared to pay the price for their mistakes.

If you commit a crime, you must be prepared to go to jail!

If you kill, you must be prepared to be killed!

So when dealing with dangerous criminals like the Phantom Troupe or B-rank and above on the Hunter website, Allen would never show the slightest bit of mercy.

Kido undoubtedly noticed the cold, merciless look in his eyes and sighed with a light laugh, "President Netero was right! You are a born Hunter! Once you confirm your prey, you never give up and are never swayed by external factors. If I'm not mistaken, you're going to hunt down the dangerous criminals on the wanted list next, right?"

Allen nodded without hesitation, "Yes! I will eliminate all the wanted criminals on this map. Oh, by the way, your specialty in the Association is in drug and medical research, right?"

"That's right! What, do you need medical assistance?" Kido's animal ears twitched slightly.

"No! I accidentally obtained something interesting and hope you can help me test it to see what it's for." Saying this, Allen took out a crystal that emitted a greenish glow from his backpack.

"What is this?!"

Kido undoubtedly sensed the pure life force contained in the small crystal and became extremely excited.

"I call it Life Essence! As long as you agree to share all the research results, it's yours now." Allen proposed the exchange.

"Life Essence... the name is truly fitting. I agree to your terms!" Kido accepted without hesitation.

Because for a medical expert, she couldn't resist the temptation of the small crystal and was eager to uncover its secrets and develop a drug that could heal all injuries, diseases, and even reverse aging.

"So the deal is done! Here's my phone number. Call me whenever you have any progress. If there's nothing else, I'll be on my way. Bye!" Allen waved and walked toward the train station without looking back.

However, before he had walked far, Kido couldn't help but ask loudly, "Where did this Life Essence come from? Is it related to your ability?"

"Hehe, that's a secret for now. But if you need it, I can provide a little more, though not much."

Clearly, Allen was using Kido's expertise in pharmaceutical development to figure out what "Life Essence" could do.

After all, just from the name and the monster it came from, it's not hard to guess that it's related to plant essence and life force. Combined with certain special Nen abilities, it might produce some incredibly powerful drugs.

Professional matters should be handled by professionals!

As for whether he would be targeted by the Hunter Association's upper echelons and V5, he didn't care at all.

Even if they knew, what could they do?

The world of professional Hunters is full of all sorts of incredible things, and the human world is just a tiny part of it. There are vast, unknown regions outside.

At worst, he could attribute it to special Nen abilities or the Dark Continent, then make a deal with them and exchange it for something he wants.

...

Just as Allen boarded the train and headed toward his next target, in a hotel room in a small city over a thousand kilometers away, Luna was sitting with another woman wearing a black tank top and a slightly muscular build, staring directly into each other's eyes.

Luna's eyes seemed to be playing something, while the other woman was watching the images in her eyes.

They stared at each other for a full ten minutes until the images in Luna's eyes stopped flashing, and they both collapsed on the bed, drenched in sweat, as if they had been drained of energy.

About five minutes later, Luna recovered from her exhaustion and asked breathlessly, "How was it, Rais? Did you see clearly?"

"Yes! I saw clearly! He's very strong, like a monster! Neither the Ghoul Zebro nor the Mad Chemist Pairo is a match for him. His Nen ability probably involves taking others' aura and abilities under certain conditions. That's why he has such terrifying Nen at his age," the woman named Rais said, unable to hide her amazement.

"Do you think he's the one we've been looking for?"

Luna struggled to get up from the bed, her eyes fixed on her friend, filled with tension and anticipation.

"I don't know! But I'm sure he's much stronger than our enemies. Maybe... this time we can finally achieve our long-held wish and avenge our fallen comrades," Rais said, her face showing unmasked hatred and anger.

"When do you plan to set out to talk to him face-to-face?" Luna asked impatiently.

Rais took a deep breath and shook her head lightly, "Not yet! It's not the right time. After he deals with all the wanted criminals on the map, he will definitely contact us."
