Courier Partnership X the Twelve Zodiacs

Kevin looked at the other person suspiciously, reached out and took the business card, examining it carefully.

The business card displayed a simple company name, a phone number, and listed its business scope: international logistics and transportation, handling only small goods weighing no more than 200 kilograms, guaranteeing safety and confidentiality, and delivering to various regions, including Forbidden Zone and prohibited areas.

"This isn't about leaving, is it?"

Locke looked at Kevin and said with a smile, "You know my Nen ability, so I have nothing to hide. This job is perfect for me, isn't it?"

Indeed, using the other party's Nen ability for clandestine small-scale cargo transport can certainly ensure secrecy.

In addition, his experience and skills can ensure the safety of the goods to a certain extent.

Without knowing the other party's Nen ability, it is almost impossible to intercept supplies from them, as it might be difficult even for a person to detect it.

If Locke operates in the shadows, he can easily avoid trouble.

"So that's why you want to get Hunter License?"

Locke smiled and said, "Of course, having Hunter License will make my work much easier."

Do you own a private Airship?

Without this, the delivery speed would be difficult to guarantee.

"Of course."

Locke stared at Kevin with a "you underestimate me" look on his face, then said with a hint of pride, "My Airship is the latest model on the market, custom-made by me. It's faster than most civilian and commercial Airship on the market, and can even rival some military Airship."

After listening to what the other person said, Kevin pondered for a moment.

He seemed unable to find a reason to refuse.

Compared to outsourcing logistics to an ordinary company, Locke, who possesses special Nen ability, seems more reliable.

After all, Kevin knew his capabilities, and compared to regular logistics companies, he was indeed more reliable.

Moreover, the two sides now at least have a certain foundation of trust.

"Okay, let's discuss the details of the collaboration."

The most important thing, of course, is the price of each order.

Locke looked at him, shook his head, and held up one finger, saying, "I can transport your goods for free, but I want [supplier] status."

Kevin looked at the other person and shook his head directly.

"No, you should be able to tell that I set up this shop for a specific purpose. If you can't provide the materials I need, you won't qualify as a [supplier]."

If that's the case, Kevin would rather spend more money, and Locke isn't his only option.

The Hunter Association has Hunter x Hunter specialize in handling such transport requests.

As a Hunter x Hunter and a member of the Hunter Association, Kevin knows how to make full use of the resources available to all kinds of Professional Hunter.

In essence, Kevin doesn't need to worry too much about logistics.

However, Locke's Nen ability is indeed unique, so Kevin is still willing to discuss the cooperation with him in more detail.

Locke remained silent for a moment after hearing Kevin's refusal.

He had a good eye; after all, he had personally experienced Kevin's prowess and knew that Kevin's strength was not to be underestimated.

He genuinely approved of Kevin's medicine, especially since he had carefully read the product description.

Kevin's medicine undoubtedly has enormous development potential.

It would be unwise not to establish a cooperative relationship with such a high-quality partner in advance.

"How about this, I'll handle all your logistics requests free of charge from now on. Not just transporting medicine, but I can also handle other goods that need to be transported."

"I'm sure you have regular suppliers, and I can help transport the materials they provide to you."

"I only have one request: there should be no limit to the amount of materials you can obtain from me each year. I will find a way to acquire the currency I need and also find a way to purchase materials to exchange for potions."

Kevin was somewhat confused upon hearing the other party's suggestion.

He looked at Locke, his face full of doubt, and asked, "So why do this? What's the difference between your request and asking for a Black Card?"

It offers more discounts than a regular Black Card, but these discounts are limited. The main difference is likely the increased drug allowance, but there's not much difference in essence.

Kevin simply couldn't understand what benefit Locke could gain from such a clause.

If all you want is a Black Card, there's no need to go through all this trouble. If Locke just offers a slight discount on the shipping costs, Kevin could easily provide the Black Card.

"Why? How do you explain this? Maybe it's because I'm good at judging people? I think I have a pretty good eye for people."

"In my opinion, you are a very capable person, and these potions are also excellent."

"Therefore, I hope to establish a deeper cooperative relationship with you. Perhaps it won't bring me any obvious benefits in the short term, but what about Fang Yi?"

"You don't seem like the type to hoard profits. As long as we cooperate closely enough, I'm confident I'll get a share."

After hearing Locke's words, Kevin felt even more puzzled.

You trust me that much?

"Trust? Not really, it's just a simple gamble."

Locke said with a smile.

"Moreover, with the supplier qualification, the amount of medicine I can obtain each year, even if I sell it at a high price, will still generate substantial profits."

"Fine, whatever you say."

Kevin simply handed over a contract, and then made some modifications based on Locke's suggestions.

For him, there was no harm in doing so.

What does it matter what Locke's true purpose is, as long as it doesn't harm his own interests?

Kevin gave Locke a new, specially made Black Card, and then handed him the potion for which Locke had previously paid a deposit.

Locke took the potion, picked up a vial, opened it, and drank it on the spot.

"Wow!! The effect is even better than I expected!"

Locke looked at the Nen Aura surging around him and burst into laughter.

Kevin stared at him, exasperated. This guy was too reckless; he just drank the potion as soon as he got it.

"Haha, I told you I had good taste."

It seems Locke is very satisfied with the potion's effects.

Only then did Kevin notice Locke's change and said, "You're stronger than before."

Locke replied matter-of-factly, "Of course, didn't you say that Nen ability can become stronger through training?"

I won't let the humiliation of the last Hunter Exam go to waste; I yearn to become stronger.

Indeed, this guy has a very strong competitive spirit.

After discussing the details of their collaboration, Locke took his leave.

Kevin leaned back in his chair.

Now that things have been settled here, the Pharmacy can officially open for business.

He took out his phone and sent out the pre-edited text messages one by one.

At this moment, Kite is searching everywhere for her master's whereabouts, while Xiahara is enjoying a hearty meal in a grand hotel, and Men Qi is picking and choosing the dishes on the side.

Biscuit, who was leisurely enjoying the night view and sea breeze on a beach, also received a text message from Kevin.

Meanwhile, at the Hunter Association...

The Dog of the Twelve Zodiacs, named Qiduo, was walking down the corridor carrying some documents.

She went straight to a Meeting Room, pushed open the door, and went inside.

Several members were already seated inside the small Meeting Room.

Qiduo glanced around and, finding that not everyone had arrived yet, went straight to her seat and sat down.

Just then, my phone vibrated in my pocket.

Since the meeting hadn't started yet, she immediately took out her phone to check.

It turned out to be a text message from Kevin.

If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, she might have actually taken out her Member Card and swiped it on the machine.

"It's rare to see you using your phone before the meeting starts."

The speaker was a woman dressed in a black, form-fitting dress; her eyes were like snake pupils, and her appearance had a somewhat eerie quality.

The Gell now Illumi.

Qiduo simply smiled and said, "The meeting hasn't even started yet." She then silenced her phone and put it back in her pocket.

The Meeting Room wasn't just occupied by the two of them; there was also a member of the Twelve Zodiacs.

This man had a peculiar double braid hairstyle, wore red clothes, was burly, and had a fierce face; he was none other than Dragon Yi Porto.

Just then, the door was pushed open again.

A woman dressed in a fresh and beautiful style, with feather decorations on her clothes and small wing ornaments on her shoulders, walked in.

Rooster) and Koto).

Thus, the four members of the Twelve Zodiacs have gathered together.

Qiduo got up and walked to the whiteboard.

"We've gathered everyone here as instructed by the Chairman."

"So what's the important matter this time?" Koto asked, leaning on the table with one hand and looking at the whiteboard.

Illumi crossed her arms over her chest, her full breasts heaving as she quietly awaited Qiduo's narration.

Porto, however, remained upright in his seat, exuding a distinctly military bearing.

"It seems to be a further escalation of the issues discussed at the meeting in the Kakin Kingdom a few months ago."

As she spoke, Qiduo distributed the materials in her hand to everyone.

Aunt took the documents, her initially indifferent expression gradually turning serious. After reading them, she frowned and said, "So this is what it is. I've been hearing about it for the past two years, but I didn't expect it to get so serious now."

Has this problem existed for so long?

Illumi frowned, somewhat surprised, as she didn't know much about this.

After all, this matter might have some connection to her professional field, but such a connection is extremely limited.

Porto looked at the documents in his hand, his brow furrowed, his expression remaining serious.

"Those scoundrels who do such things can already be classified as terrorists."

He is one of the few Three-star Hunter in the world, and Terrorist Hunter known for his strength.

The data they have at this moment shows the increasingly serious problem of "Environment-Destroying Organisms" in recent years.

"Sure enough, when I first saw this kind of news, I suspected it was the work of some ignorant fools," Koto complained.

This world is full of colossal beasts, as well as various highly dangerous Demonic Beast, and there are quite a few strange and wonderful creatures.

However, these creatures mostly live in remote, uninhabited areas, which are classified as "Forbidden Zone," "Demonic Realm," or "Secret Realm" within the Association.

Apart from a few Professional Hunter, very few other people venture into these areas.

Not to mention ordinary people.

Even if there are ordinary people who are brave and enjoy hiking in the wild, there is no need to worry.

After all, their numbers were small, and their loss in these dangerous areas was entirely their own fault.

Those that approach the city's Boundary are mostly highly intelligent magical Demonic Beast, who to some extent coexist with humans.

The Association even has connections with many intelligent magical Demonic Beast.

In any case, there won't be any extremely dangerous monsters; even if there are, they will be eliminated by the actions of those with various abilities.

It is unlikely to cause any serious damage.

The data shows that these enormous and destructive "Environment-Destroying Organisms" that were sighted or even hunted were actually man-made biological weapons.

Moreover, they come in various shapes and sizes, and were deliberately placed there.

"The fact that they're only now letting us handle this is probably due to a power struggle among those corrupt politicians. They're a disgusting bunch."

Illumi's tone was full of disdain.

This kind of thing is easy to resolve; the fact that it's dragged on until now is basically due to buck-passing among the parties involved.

Those involved in biomanufacturing definitely receive funding from various parties. "Alright, the Chairman has instructed us to take charge of coordinating and resolving this issue."

Qiduo directly explained the task.

To some extent, it's simply that the Chairman is too lazy to deal with such a boring task and leaves them to clean up the mess.

This isn't the first or second time this has happened; you'll get used to it.

More than two weeks have passed since its release, and Red Stone Pharmaceuticals' name has spread all over the world in a short period of time.

Kevin leaned against the wall of his shop.

At that moment, a television had been placed in the corner of the shop, and he was watching the news.

The television was undoubtedly showing interviews with Light, along with various related news reports and footage of people rushing to buy the drug.

"Do you have any concerns about this newly launched drug product?"

In the live television broadcast, a reporter randomly selected a customer from the crowd queuing outside the pharmacy for an interview.

As you can see, most of those queuing are men, but there are also quite a few female shoppers.

"Worried? Worried about what?" The customer being interviewed looked bewildered.

Aren't you worried about whether the medication will be harmful or have side effects?

Upon hearing this question, the buyer realized that an interview and filming were in progress.

"Is this a live stream? Get away, get away, don't film me."

He quickly covered his face with his hands and turned his head to the side.

Judging from his youthful appearance, he would probably feel quite embarrassed if his friends knew he had come to buy this kind of medicine.

It was then that Kevin noticed that many of the people who came to buy medicine were wearing masks or had made some kind of simple disguise.

Watching the interview on TV, Kevin shook his head helplessly.

This scene has been going on for several days.

After all, Light invested a lot of money in promoting GG.

Similar cases are not uncommon.

But this time, many people who experienced it firsthand gave it high praise.

Through the internet, various information interviews, and the extensive promotion on television channels that Light had specifically arranged, the drug's popularity increased rapidly.

Not only was it being reported on television, but even the pharmacy downstairs from Kevin's shop was now completely packed with people.

Light is very busy right now.

He's now a rising star in the business world.

However, compared to truly remarkable individuals, they are merely ordinary; it's just that everyone values the future prospects of their company.

"Luckily, we made preparations in advance, which at least allowed us to cope with the initial buying frenzy."

Previously, most of these products on the market were counterfeit goods bearing the GG brand name.

Now that a truly effective product exists, it has naturally received enthusiastic support from everyone.

Once this wave of enthusiasm subsides, the situation will stabilize.

Things will stabilize by then.

In any case, the company's reputation has been established.

Although the company is not yet listed, its estimated market value is steadily increasing.

Kevin stopped paying much attention to it; as long as he could make money, that was enough.

Just then, the shop door was pushed open.

A little girl in a pink dress rushed in happily.

Uncle! I've come to see you!

Nion ran in with a grin, looked around the small shop, and then her face was full of disappointment.

"What? There's nothing here?"

She asked, her face full of confusion and disappointment.

Kevin rolled his eyes. "It's nothing, this isn't a toy store."

Kurapika, who was following behind Nion, also looked around.

It has to be said, this place certainly doesn't look like a legitimate shop.

The two women, along with the two maids who followed them in, suddenly made the already small shop feel crowded.

Fortunately, the two bodyguards standing at the door didn't come in, otherwise we probably wouldn't have been able to turn around here.

Nion watched as she swept her hands across the bookshelf.

"There are so many books I can't understand, but why are there so many storybooks?"

Nion asked, puzzled.

Because I'm also Phantom Beast Hunter, although he's never done anything related to his profession.

However, according to available intelligence information, many strange Beasts are closely related to local folklore or various legends.

This can be used to find the underlying logic.

"Alright, alright, there's nothing fun here. Kurapika, take Nion somewhere else to play."

Kurapika nodded and pulled Nion away, preparing to leave.

As she walked, Nion muttered to herself, "How boring. I even made a special trip here."

The maid next to him smiled and said, "It's alright, we're just in the mall, might as well browse around."

Upon hearing this, Nion nodded.

They came quickly, and they left quickly.

The once quiet shop, which had just experienced a brief period of bustling activity, has returned to its tranquility.

Kevin leaned back in his chair.

"Indeed, I can't stay here every day."

His small pharmacy couldn't possibly become an overnight sensation like Red Stone Pharmaceuticals.

Kevin didn't intend for it to become too popular.

But it won't work if no one takes care of it.

He was willing to stay here mainly because he wanted to experience what it was like to be a shop owner.

He had never had a similar experience before.

But after a few days, I started to get a little bored; spending all day reading here wasn't a good idea.

We need to recruit someone, preferably a Nen user.

Kevin glanced at his watch.

"It's already three o'clock, time to go home."

Now that he's the boss, he can decide when to leave work.

As he spoke, he turned off the light, walked out of the shop, and casually flipped the sign at the door over, revealing a business number.

Just then, he saw Kurapika and the others who had just left; they were strolling around in a shop not far away.

Kevin walked straight over.

"Uncle, what's wrong?" Kurapika asked, puzzled.

"It's nothing, I'm just off work."

"Get off work?"

Kurapika paused for a moment, then turned to look at the shops in the distance that had already closed.

"How are things going at the company?"

Kevin suddenly asked with a smile.

Hearing this, Kurapika smiled and said, "It's a bit tedious, but it's also a great learning opportunity."

Kevin didn't ask further about the issue of gang surveillance.

After all, he had entrusted this matter entirely to Pairo and the others, so naturally they were left to handle it themselves.

Meanwhile, the Ritz Family, which was originally the superior of the Nosra Family, only learned of the situation after receiving reports from other Little Black families.

"You mean, the Red Stone Pharmaceuticals that was reported on TV is Nosra's company?!"

The eldest son of the Ritz Family, doubting he had misheard, pointed to the news playing on the television next to him and asked.

The head of the small family who came to report the situation nodded with a fawning expression.

"Yes, boss, you don't know this, but recently he gave a detailed report on what Light has been doing over the past few months."

Originally, this information did not need to reach the ears of the eldest son of the Ritz Family, and he usually did not have the energy to pay attention to such trivial matters.

But this time the situation is clearly different.

"I understand, you may leave."
