Chapter 52

Once a professional hunter sets their target, they won’t easily give up.

This is also the reason why Bisiji quietly found her way here.

"See you tomorrow, little brother Kester~!"

Bisiji’s face broke into a smile as she slowly turned and left.

Exiting the alley, she arrived at the pedestrian street and merged into the crowd.

At the end of the pedestrian street was a two-way road.

At this moment,

A series of black sedans were speeding along the road, the continuous roar of engines and screeching brakes drawing the attention of many passersby.

Bisiji was also among the crowd.

She raised her eyes to look at the black sedans speeding past on the road, roughly estimating there were at least fifteen of them.

"Tonight is not very peaceful."

Withdrawing her gaze from the road, Bisiji turned and headed to the nearest hotel.

The gemstone exchange was the day after tomorrow, and the speeding convoy that seemed to be chasing something just now seemed to foreshadow some impending turmoil.

She only hoped it wouldn’t affect the gemstone exchange the day after tomorrow.

But Bisiji was not surprised by such occurrences.

Because her impression of Laxiang City mainly revolved around two points.

One was the numerous gemstone collectors, and the other was the notorious G-drug, which had led to the disintegration of many families, from the informal to the formal.

The former was the reason she had any connection with Laxiang City.

The latter had turned Laxiang City into a stronghold for gangs, and the gangs rooted here, while reaping huge profits from the legalized "G-drug," also contributed to the city's economic benefits, elevating it to a first-class city.

The convoy that had just sped past was likely a gang’s.

She didn’t know what had happened to make the gang so anxious.

These matters had nothing to do with Bisiji.

She was only concerned with how to obtain the "sapphire" from Moyou, and to join the gemstone exchange the day after tomorrow, hoping to find one or two gems to her liking if she was lucky.

Yujin Street, Suibian Law Firm.

"At that time, in the eyes of many professional hunters in the Association, the Qinglin Team was a group of monsters. Any difficult commission could be resolved as long as the Qinglin Team took on the job. Gradually, the Qinglin Team was hailed as a legendary team by the outside world."

"Perhaps due to their rising status, or perhaps due to the fame from all directions, the former Association President who founded the Qinglin Team, along with the increasingly powerful Qinglin Team members, gradually lost their way."

"They began to consider themselves superior, and over time, they developed the notion that... the Association, which gathered countless Nen ability users, should not be subordinate to V5."

"The division began from this point."

"A portion of the Qinglin Team members, led by Netero, remained true to their original intentions and tried to correct their comrades' increasingly twisted beliefs."

"Even my master, with his thorough nature, could not ascertain the details of the struggle at that time. He must have questioned President Netero, but President Netero likely kept silent about it."

"My master could not get a clear answer, only knowing that the result of the struggle was that Netero succeeded as the Association President, and the Qinglin Team, in name, ceased to exist and soon faded from the stage."

"But in reality, the Qinglin Team members who lost the struggle did not perish. President Netero, out of old feelings, gave them a chance to survive."

"However... humans dominated by desire and ambition, after experiencing a period of expansion, could hardly return to their original intentions so easily."

"Moreover, the Nen ability gradually strengthens the deep-seated obsessions of Nen ability users."

"So the Qinglin Team members who survived the struggle did not appreciate this kindness. Instead, they shouted the former President’s legacy, intending to create a new Hunter Association."

"But V5 at that time would not let them have their way, directly crushing their slogans with action."

"From then on, the Qinglin Team completely disappeared from people's sight."

"Until thirteen years ago, my master encountered the remnants of the Qinglin Team in an incident, and only then did he learn that the Qinglin Team had not perished but had been lying low all along."

At this point, Liz looked at Moyou, who was listening quietly, and was puzzled when she saw him suddenly sigh in relief.

How could she know that Moyou’s sigh of relief was because he was worried she would add some meaningless chatter while answering his questions?

After all, the phone call on the spaceship had left a deep impression on him.

"The incident thirteen years ago..."

Moyou met Liz’s gaze.

"Yes."

Liz knew what Moyou was thinking and gave a direct affirmative answer.

"According to my master, the Qinglin Team, which had been lying low, was dedicated to collecting various objects with strange powers. The object that Hawk brought out from the ruins happened to attract the Qinglin Team’s covetousness, leading to your mother’s..."

Liz did not continue.

Moyou fell silent upon hearing this.

Through Liz’s more detailed account, he learned that the Qinglin Team, which only caused a ripple in the original story, had such a significant past.

As for the two star hunters in the election plot who shouted about reviving the Qinglin Team’s glory, claiming to inherit the deceased Netero’s legacy, they were not even close to the real thing and ultimately met their end at the hands of Hisoka.

There were still more than six years before the plot began.

During these six years, did the Qinglin Team, which had been lying low, experience another demise after being exposed?

So, in the original plot, they never showed their true colors?

If that’s the case—

Was the reason for the Qinglin Team’s second demise driven by Qido, or was it President Netero’s decision?

Moyou tried to find some information in the original story but found nothing.

Because the original story had very little mention of the Qinglin Team.

"Why am I thinking about these questions? Is it because, after confirming the Qinglin Team’s strength, I’m hoping for some uncertain assistance in the future plot?"

Moyou’s brows furrowed, and he decisively discarded these distracting thoughts that would only hinder his growth.

What’s the harm in being weak now?

After many twists and turns, one will inevitably become strong.

What he needed to consider was how to become strong as quickly as possible.

Strong enough to make these so-called Qinglin Team remnants fall before him.

Moyou’s thoughts suddenly became clear and resolute.

"Your perception is filled with anticipation. Your training efficiency increases by 100%, for 30 days."

Huh?

--------

Under the night sky, the Nen space covering the entire scenic area stood like a towering mountain, unreachable.

A spaceship from the Hunter Association was parked on the ground not far from the Nen space.

Nearby, several figures stood.

It was Qido, Netero, and a few others who had rushed here day and night, along with the Association’s only Nen remover.

"I can feel... a risk far beyond my capacity."

"No, with just my strength, it’s impossible."

The Nen remover, brought by Netero, stared blankly at the Nen space towering before him.
