To Save Her or Not... Let's All Watch the Show
"If you want your physical body to advance, you need to eat well and be well-fed!"
At the Sharku Manor, led by Ian, a long dining table was set out, laden with a variety of delicious foods.
Of course, it's not obtained by using a [Tasting Spoon].
Instead, they invited several top chefs from Ejin City and used rare ingredients from various countries to create top-notch dishes!
Large portions, delicious taste, and filling!
Of course, the price is not cheap.
This meal alone cost approximately two million Jenny.
Although the Xierku Family is temporarily in charge of this expense, Ian is somewhat embarrassed, after all, the Dawn Organization currently has very little disposable funds.
However, with the props available, he wasn't worried about not being able to repay the money later.
Just eat as much as you want.
"Awoo!"
"Awoo!"
Then, at the long dining table, Ian Uvogin and the others opened their mouths in astonishment.
The next moment.
With a forceful inhale, "whoosh," "whoosh," "whoosh," a large amount of nutritious and delicious food flew up from the table and was sucked into the stomachs of everyone present.
It took... less than three seconds!
"Belch!"
Soon, Machi and the others, who seemed to have smaller appetites, covered their mouths somewhat embarrassedly and let out a burp.
As for Uvogin, Franklin, and the others, they still looked like they hadn't had enough.
How are you feeling?
Feeling the warm, growing energy inside his stomach, Ian excitedly asked everyone.
At this moment, each of them had swallowed a small piece of the Black Hole Fragment, just the right amount to help them increase their food intake and absorption capacity, thereby strengthening their bodies!
Uvogin looked down at his slightly bulging belly, his eyes filled with joy.
"Very nice!"
"I can feel the food I just ate being digested and absorbed, and a continuous flow of energy is surging into my body and limbs!"
Chrollo, standing to the side, also looked at his hands and feet with some surprise.
"That's right, energy is flowing through my limbs and bones, and... although it's very weak, I can definitely feel my strength growing!"
Clearly, before swallowing the "Black Hole Fragments ".
Even if they eat a lot every day, they have never felt their power growing so clearly before!
If we're talking about ordinary daily diet...
An increase in physical strength measured in 0.01 units over a single day is imperceptible to the body.
So, after using the "Black Hole Fragment" and pairing it with high-quality food rich in nutrients, the body's strength increases by about 0.5 units within a short digestion period of less than an hour.
Vastly different absorption ratios will naturally cause significant changes.
"This looks so interesting... I want to eat like this too..."
Eluna, standing to the side, looked on with envy, her mouth practically watering, completely disregarding her image.
Aimina sighed and rubbed her forehead, feeling helpless towards her younger sister.
Despite her advanced age, she always acts like a child who never grew up. She was too embarrassed to ask Ian for a Black Hole Fragment just because of this guy's gluttony...
For Ian...
The most important thing right now is to learn from Uvogin and the others, and grow together, gaining a lot of combat experience and skills.
After all... the near-disaster he experienced before was something he remembered vividly.
Even though he can currently amplify his strength to an extremely high level using items, it's not impossible for him to unexpectedly stumble and fall.
Even a physical being as powerful as the Meruem was still killed by a Poor Man's Rose.
At the very least... until you obtain an item that grants unlimited life-saving abilities, you must never let your guard down.
Based solely on Ian's understanding of the nature of those high-ranking human leaders in V5, he could comprehend the extent to which they would do anything, no matter how outrageous, if provoked.
If the other party realizes the potential threat he may pose.
A single nuclear weapon could silently obliterate the entire Ejin City; it's not like the other side couldn't do it.
If the other party really did that, then I would die a very unjust death...
Unless you put on a [Disaster-Repelling Sticker] every day.
Otherwise, if such a sudden attack were to occur, it would be the unpredictable and unexpected event that Ian fears most.
Just then...
Ian's phone rang, and the butler from the Sharku Manor handed it to Ian.
After taking the phone, he frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then answered it anyway.
"Netero, is there anything I can do for you by calling me?"
On the other end of the phone, Netero spoke with a grave expression.
"Ian, I have a favor to ask..."
Ian was really worried about this.
The last time Netero called, he tricked me into going into the Ruins of the Gandor Dynasty, and it took me two days and two nights to finally resolve the problem.
Although the result was good, gaining the help of Aimina and Eluna was still a good outcome.
But the last experience was truly... mentally and physically exhausting...
"Um... Netero, I've been focusing on my training lately, so if you need anything..."
Before he could finish speaking, Netero pleaded.
"I understand your thoughts, Ian. The situation is truly urgent, and only you Ian, can help me..."
Then, Netero recounted Sashado's appearance in the Republic of the Congo.
At the same time...
He also explained the unexpected situation his disciple Biscuit encountered while investigating the other party on a mission he had assigned.
After listening...
Ian was surprised.
Sashado's appearance, though somewhat sudden, was actually expected.
Since the other party escaped through the [Netherworld Gate] and made threatening remarks, they will surely return one day.
Although it was somewhat surprising that the other party recovered from their injuries in such a short time, it's nothing to worry about.
What truly surprised Ian was...
That guy Biscuit just happened to be in the country where the other party appeared...
This female Nen character from the original work, as a disciple of Netero of the Shingen-ryu, leaves a very deep impression. She can be considered the master who led the protagonist and Killua onto the right path of Nen Ability training.
For now, listen to Netero.
It's quite obvious; they probably encountered Sashado...
Not long has passed.
With his [Anywhere Door], he certainly has a chance to get there, and at least... there's a high probability he can save the other person.
If we ignore it...
Relying on others, it's unlikely they'll get there in a short time, and by the time they arrive, Biscuit will probably be dead.
To save the other person or not...
For Ian at this moment, it's a choice.
It's more like a question that the world is currently posing to Ian.
It means watching the other person die and witnessing the world's plot change drastically.
Whether it's saving the other party or creating a dramatic, fateful outcome for the plot, Ian transforms into someone who propels the world stage towards the original storyline.
"Sigh, Netero, this... this is really putting me in a difficult position..."
Ian shook his head and spoke with great difficulty to Netero into the phone.
On the other end of the phone.
Netero's expression was solemn, but his slightly aged eyes were very calm. The old man's experiences enabled him to accept any outcome with equanimity.
Ian glanced at the crowd in front of him; they all stared at him calmly.
They support Ian's decision, whichever way he chooses.
Ian's lips curled up slightly, then he glanced at Uvogin and chuckled softly.
"No matter what, she's Uvogin's senior sister; we can't just sit idly by and do nothing..."
"Okay, send me your exact location, we'll meet up with you first, and then we'll go together... to rescue them!"
Hearing Ian's words.
On the airship, Netero breathed a sigh of relief, a look of satisfaction in his eyes, and said softly.
"Then I'll leave it to you, Ian. I'll have Beans send you the location. Thank you for your help..."
The Beans next to him listened excitedly to the phone call.
Upon hearing Ian's agreement, she couldn't help but gently wipe the corner of her eye.
Great... Biscuit is saved!
After hanging up the phone.
Soon.
On Ian's phone, some coordinates were sent.
He glanced at everyone and smiled.
"Looks like we're in trouble again, but this time it's not a big problem. We'll just rescue them and run!"
"As for that troublesome and formidable enemy, how V5 deals with him is none of our business. Let's all go... and watch the show..."
