Hunter x Hunter : Germain Joins The Hunt

Bisky spent about fifteen minutes describing the experiences of her team during the three days they spent in the "Ancient Labyrinth City" to the people in the meeting.

The twists and turns of the journey, especially the "Night Stalker Blood Battle" and the "Slaying of the Bloodthirsty Apostle of Pain," left everyone shocked and frightened.

Germain simply listened quietly, offering no additions.

While Bisky spoke, everyone flipped through the photos taken with the "stereoscopic camera" she and Ging used.

These photos could be zoomed in and out, just like phone pictures.

What was even more amazing was that the photos could also restore certain textures, giving a real sense of the roughness and bumps.

It was at this moment that everyone truly grasped the significance of what Germain's team had achieved. They had indeed completed a great feat—they had brought back "hope" from the "Dark Continent."

The former Beyond team had once had the chance to be the first to accomplish this task.

They had already acquired the "Alchemical Plant Metallion," but unfortunately, they failed on the return journey.

Germain's team succeeded because they had the right timing, location, and the right people. They were the ones who made this great achievement.

"This is the situation," Bisky said, her short hair making her look different than usual.

Her tone had changed from its usual playful and cute nature to a serious, respectful one, making everyone realize that she was indeed a senior.

"Germain was the first test subject for the 'Herb for All-illnesses,' and the results met our expectations. As for its full potential, that's something Sanbica will need to explore."

Sanbica, feeling a bit of pressure, shifted her position in her seat.

With her hands resting on her knees and her head lowered, she looked like a shy student carefully listening to a teacher's advice.

However, everyone present knew her medical skills were extraordinary and worthy of the title "One-Star Hunter."

"There's no problem with handing over the 'Herb for All-illnesses' for her to study."

Despite the cute contrast in her appearance, no one doubts that Sanbica can't handle the task—it will just take some time.

Bisky spoke while walking around the conference table in the meeting room.

However, her small frame made it so others could only see her head above the table, giving an eerie impression that her head was floating around the table.

After finishing the round, she finally returned to her seat, which was next to Germain and Shizuku.

"The next important matter is our negotiation with Chairman Netero. I, Menchi, and Buhara will protect a single 'Herb for All-illnesses' while secretly meeting with Chairman Netero."

"I've already informed him in advance, and we've set the meeting location. No matter what, we will have results within a week."

"However, we must consider the worst-case scenario—"

"That is, the three of us are captured, Chairman Netero and 'V5' invade 'Greed Island,' take all the 'Herb for All-illnessess,' and take control of everyone."

Bisky turned to Germain.

"If that happens, we won't need to do anything. Just let them take control of us. Germain, don't do anything reckless."

Germain looked at her. "Why would you think I would do something reckless?"

"I'm worried that you might act impulsively. After all, you're so obsessed with the 'Dark Continent.'"

"The reasoning is simple. We've successfully retrieved one 'Hope,' but there are still four more. They won't be able to resist that temptation."

"In previous 'Dark Continent Expeditions', 'V5' paid a heavy price without any gains. They need us, but from now on, our personal freedom will definitely be limited."

"Germain will certainly be under full surveillance, used by 'V5' as a tool to travel back and forth to the 'Dark Continent.'"

Bisky stared at Germain.

"Because you possess such 'Nen abilities,' you will permanently lose your opportunity to 'explore the Dark Continent.' 'V5' won't risk letting you continue."

"I know you've realized this, and I also know that you might consider taking action against Chairman Netero, which is why I'm telling you not to do anything reckless."

Germain listened without showing any expression, neither agreeing nor opposing.

This attitude made Bisky even more frustrated.

At this moment, Razor, who was sitting across the round table, placed his strong arms on the table and squinted his eyes.

"So... what would a good outcome be for us?" he asked.

Bisky smiled. She had been waiting for Razor and the others to ask this question.

"Of course, it would be if the Chairman and we joined forces, working together, like a nest of snakes and rats, with the same interests..."

"Ahem, in short, he would cover for us, secretly help us, and maintain the status quo for now."

"At the same time, Chairman Netero would renegotiate with 'V5' the agreement to completely block the 'Exploration of the Dark Continent' from years ago, and remove the 'Taboos and Shackles.'"

"The 'Hunter Association' will take the lead, with 'V5' funding it, and humanity will return to the 'Dark Continent.'"

"Meanwhile, our 'exploration' will continue. Later, at the right time, our team and Chairman Netero's team will meet at a certain point, and we'll take back 'Hope.'"

"This way, Germain's 'Teleportation Lantern' will be concealed."

"Alternatively, we can reveal part of it and set it up as a 'lantern that only works within a certain distance,' instead of being able to teleport directly to the 'Dark Continent.'"
