Invitation X Ashore

Regarding whether Kim is like a father figure?

Opinions varied widely.

Based on their understanding of him, people have reached different conclusions, but these conclusions are all consistent.

That means it probably won't work.

It's just that the areas where it's not working are different.

"You mean, you haven't seen your son all these years?" Biscuit asked, looking at him.

Although Jin appeared expressionless and indifferent, the embarrassment hidden in her eyes was undeniable, and she nodded with a forced smile.

"Spray."

Everyone couldn't help but smack their lips.

"Ahem, let's talk about the Chairman's son first."

Since the conversation had already veered off to this point and inexplicably turned to him, Jin quickly steered the topic back to its original position.

"According to my information, the Chairman's son is named Beyond, and he led the last official expedition to the Dark Continent."

Upon hearing this, Morel seemed to have thought of something and asked.

"That time in the Kingdom of Ganyou?"

Jin nodded.

That was decades ago, wasn't it?

He went to the Dark Continent decades ago, and as the leader of a team, which means he was definitely not young at the time.

In other words, by normal standards, the Chairman's son should already be considered elderly.

"That's more like it."

Biscuit, speechless, reminded him, "The Chairman is already at 110 or 120."

Thinking about it this way, it does seem to make sense, and upon closer reflection, it could even be considered having a child late in life.

"It was because his son failed and returned that he was banned, and it is said that restrictions were placed on him at the time."

Unless the Chairman dies, the other party will be unable to travel to the Dark Continent.

Compared to bypassing numerous restrictions through legitimate means, the restrictions and bans imposed on Beyond are far more stringent.

This is because it means that the other party would not even be able to successfully smuggle themselves into the country.

How did you get this kind of information?

This shocked Biscuit, because even she didn't know this news.

Keep in mind that Biscuit is not young, and as the Chairman's apprentice, she knows even more.

Although she knew her master had a son, she didn't expect him to impose such a restriction.

Jin didn't seem to care, and waved his hand dismissively.

"I've been gathering intelligence on this; how could I not know?"

He didn't take this kind of intelligence seriously at all. If someone really wanted to, they could get their hands on it, but no one would collect this kind of intelligence for no reason.

At this point, Jin couldn't help but show some admiration.

"In terms of preparations for the team heading to the Dark Continent, to be honest, this Beyond, is probably the most comprehensively prepared in human society at this stage."

After all, the other side had been preparing for decades.

Even without knowing the details, Jin managed to get a general idea through some piecemeal analysis of the information.

After chatting for a while, everyone...

Kevin asked, "Will my return this time have a big impact?"

Biscuit shook her head very frankly and said clearly, "It all depends on what you bring back. What you brought back this time won't attract much attention."

At least those major countries won't be very interested in you. Besides materials you can use yourself, what you'll bring back are minor problems that have already been brought back once and proven you can solve.

Will this welcome be able to conceal this fact? To be honest, even Jin can't guarantee it.

The capabilities of the Voyage Bureau are considerable; it is a department jointly established by several major countries.

If Kevin's return truly brings something extraordinary, then even with Biscuit and King's best efforts to conceal and hide it, clues will still be found.

But if what Kevin brought is insignificant, then it doesn't matter; even if they discover it, they'll just turn a blind eye.

For the Hunter x Hunter group.

V5 has always turned a blind eye; as long as you don't get involved in things that are jointly Blockade and restricted by several countries, you won't be targeted or affected.

"That's good."

To be honest, Kevin was somewhat relieved.

Going against a national-level power is never a good thing.

Operating the state apparatus, especially in a major world power like this, is tantamount to courting death.

After chatting for a while...

The crowd dispersed.

Biscuit stared at Kevin, circling him with a hostile look in her eyes.

So you want to invite me to join your team?

Kevin didn't hesitate, and nodded with a smile.

"Of course, after all, you are my master, aren't you? And your teaching ability is indeed very strong, your own combat ability is also very strong, and your Nen ability can play an excellent supporting role."

Moreover, she's very experienced; I won't say it outright, lest I upset her.

Don't underestimate Biscuit's Nen ability.

Although it may seem like a purely support role, it becomes a completely different story when paired with Kevin.

Kevin's medicine can provide various forms of assistance, but it offers no emotional comfort.

No potion to relieve fatigue has ever been made, and even if it were, it would only last for fifteen minutes.

Kevin's remedies are undoubtedly superior in terms of enhancing strength, healing, and emergency care.

Biscuit's Nen ability can relieve fatigue, both physically and mentally.

With Biscuit and Kevin's medications, a fairly complete medical support system can be established, plus a dedicated doctor.

A logistics support team was thus formed.

Not to mention Biscuit's strength, which also serves as combat power, making her a dual-purpose character.

Kevin admitted it.

Biscuit couldn't help but take out the gem again and shine it in the sunlight.

His eyes drifted off again.

She loved it.

This kind of gemstone is something that would never appear in human society, but in a vast and wondrous place like the Dark Continent...

All sorts of unknown gemstones.

For a Gem Hunter like Biscuit, the temptation was simply too strong.

Kevin added.

"And I need to build a team. To be honest, to build a satisfactory team, I still need to find the right people."

Those with talent might need your help too.

Biscuit automatically filtered out the use of "you" in Kevin's speech.

Thinking of the three precious gems Kevin currently possesses.

Kurapika, Pairo, Gowen.

In her view, all three were exceptionally talented individuals.

It's even more tempting now.

"Okay, I'll join, but I have to make this clear: I won't listen to you until you set sail; but once you do, you'll be the captain."

Biscuit didn't make any definitive statements; she knew she would need to prepare for a very long time.

Even now, it's still far from being as good as gold.

So there's still a long time to go.

Joining now makes no difference, since Biscuit goes to the Nosra Manor quite often anyway.

"Besides, I can't help you deal with the old man."

Biscuit stated this clearly.

Kevin nodded.

"Then welcome. Besides, you don't trust me at all. How could I possibly go against a respected elder with such a distinguished career for something like this?"

Biscuit this; she had simply mentioned it beforehand.

The original plan was to spend two months returning to the mainland.

But things are a little more complicated than they thought.

Because of the Blockade by the Voyage Bureau, coupled with their prior backup plans, they managed to circle at sea for a full three months.

They finally made it ashore.

"I've already told Little Wang, she absolutely cannot show herself. She has to stay hidden within your Nen Aura. If she dares to show herself, she can forget about eating snacks from now on."

Kevin gave him another piece of advice.

Melusina, standing beside her, smiled and nodded, then waved her hand and said...

"Okay, you've said it so many times already. Don't worry, even if she tries to come out, I'll teach her a lesson."

They had already reached the port and disembarked from Morel's ship.

After saying goodbye to Morel.

Kevin looked at Kim beside him.

Kim seemed to know what Kevin wanted to say, and preemptively spoke with a smile.

"I've already received my payment, so there's no need to thank me. Just consider this a transaction; didn't we also reach a cooperation agreement on the ship?"

Kim's desired reward was naturally the stories Kevin shared with them about the Dark Continent on the ship.

For Jin, these experiences were intelligence, priceless treasures.

Not to mention, this is firsthand information from someone who experienced it firsthand, without passing through any intermediaries, making it 100% authentic.

Kevin smiled at this.

However, Kevin also said, "That's what they paid for their deal with you, and naturally I have to give my own thanks."

However, I don't seem to have many that you'd be interested in. How about this, I'll send you a batch of potions later, some of which will be non-saleable."

This made Jin raise an eyebrow. Of course, he was eager for Kevin's potion; he was a major customer after all.

He didn't actually consume much, but he bought many different kinds and carried them with him just in case.

He knew, of course, that Kevin would have all sorts of exclusive, non-sale items.

Since there would be non-sale items included as a gift, he decided not to refuse.

The two nodded, signifying their farewell.

At this point, only Biscuit and a few others remained.

As for Biscuit, there's no need for excessive formalities; their relationship is already very close.

We arrived at the airport and boarded a private Airship.

Kevin slumped heavily onto the sofa, grabbed the Coke that had been prepared on the table, and took a big gulp.

"Ha! Awesome, finally going home."

Kevin was more relaxed than ever before, completely sprawled on the sofa.

Melusina sat beside Kevin, nestled in his arms.

Biscuit sat opposite them, watching the two with a satisfied smile.

"When are you planning to get married? Do you plan to have a child? If it's a boy..."

She started talking out of nowhere.

Even Melusina, who was prone to romantic fantasies, found these words hard to accept and quickly interrupted, her face flushing slightly.

"Biscuit!"

Seeing Melusina and annoyed expression, Biscuit deepened, but she still obediently kept her mouth shut.

Kevin just smiled and held Melusina's hand tightly.

He is now deeply in love with Melusina; the emotional bond they formed during their shared hardships on the Dark Continent is no joke.

Suddenly, Kevin seemed to remember something and slapped his forehead.

"Oh dear, I forgot all this time. I was planning to chat with Jin about Greed Island."

Greed Island had always been something Kevin coveted, and this masterpiece created by several top Nen user deeply impressed Kevin.

The profound application of Nen ability is simply astounding.

Although I had already gained a deep understanding of the game while playing through it, Jin is, after all, the main planner, and talking to him...

You might have different feelings.

During the three months they spent together on the ship, he hadn't even thought about this incident, and had been chatting with Jin about other things the whole time.

Greed Island? What's that?

Biscuit asked with some curiosity, as if she had heard of it somewhere before.

Melusina offered her explanation, while Kevin and Kurapika provided further details.

Gowen listened curiously from the side.

He didn't participate in the trip to Greed Island, but he had heard about it, because Nion would occasionally bring it up; it was the only thing she could bring up in conversation.

The story of Greed Island is so familiar that everyone at the Nosra Manor is tired of hearing it.

"Oh, so that's how it is. That sounds quite interesting."

Biscuit didn't seem particularly surprised after hearing this; she was simply quite interested.

Do you ever feel old? That you can't keep up with the ideas of young people?

Kevin suddenly blurted out something.

These words immediately made Biscuit's face fall.

"It seems you really want to test my strength."

"No way, haha."

Kevin chuckled awkwardly.

At this point, Kurapika seemed to have sorted out what had happened at the Manor he left over the past few months.

One of the messages made Kurapika's face turn cold.

"What happened?"

Kevin looked at him and asked.

Kurapika looked at the information report in his hand and said, "It's the Phantom Troupe. They committed another crime two months ago, but this time it doesn't seem to be a group operation, so Hisoka hasn't contacted us."

"Phantom Troupe-- "

Kevin muttered to himself.

"Forget it, don't worry about it too much. Just wait for Hisoka's news. Didn't you say his target is that Chrollo? Facing such a group, without our cooperation, he'll have a hard time finding a one-on-one opportunity."

He had already learned about Hisoka's background and the conditions Hisoka had offered.

I wonder when they'll all be together again.

Kurapika clenched his fist and muttered to himself.

He couldn't wait to get his revenge.

Biscuit sat down next to him, thought for a moment, and then mentioned it briefly.

"I've heard of this team, and I've looked into it because of your connection. Their initial goals were strongly related to Meteor City, but their objectives changed a few years later."

Furthermore, the overall number of operations has begun to decrease, although I expect they will likely continue to operate, but you may have to wait a year or two.

A reminder was then given.

"With a notorious criminal organization like this, I suspect their Chrollo's Nen ability might be related to the group's operations."

However, this is only a possibility; Biscuit was merely offering the two a reminder based on her own experience.

Let's not talk about this now, we'll discuss it later.

The most important thing now is to go home.
