Early morning.

The bright morning sun shone down, illuminating one side of the Manor, and its golden light fell on the windowsill.

A beam of golden light pierced through the gap in the curtains and fell onto the bed, landing squarely on Kevin's face.

Kevin, who was fast asleep, had to raise his hand to shield his face, but this almost woke him up.

Her soft, white arms clung to him, her fingers gently caressing his cheek.

The blankets were disheveled, and a fair, white thigh was wrapped around his body.

Melusina was still fast asleep, with half of her body resting on Kevin.

Kevin looked down at Melusina's sleeping face and couldn't help but smile knowingly.

The tenderness of last night involuntarily came to mind.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

A hissing sound came from beside him, startling Kevin and waking him from the cozy morning.

He suddenly turned his head to look.

Little Wang's enormous snake head stared at the two of them.

When did you run away?

At this moment Melusina seemed to wake up as well, resting her face against Kevin's chest, showing no intention of getting up.

Hearing Kevin's words, he replied, "I can't keep her out of the house; she sneaked out last night."

Fortunately, the Gluttonous Snake has a long lifespan, so it doesn't matter if she stays in one place for a long time or is hidden in Melusina's Nen Aura.

After all, they are predators in the Dark Continent, possessing extremely strong patience.

So even though she had sneaked out, she didn't wander around the Manor aimlessly; instead, she stayed right next to the bed.

To be honest, her obedience put Kevin and his partner at ease a lot.

However, being frightened by this stupid snake killed all my morning desires.

Embrace!

How can you indulge in such a tender embrace!

Calm down!

"Should we get up?"

Hold me.

That wretched woman ate breakfast.

With a rosy complexion, glowing skin, and unusually good condition, Melusina was forcibly dragged away by Biscuit and the others, clearly to have a talk with them.

Kevin, recalling yesterday's events, roughly guessed what was going on when he Biscuit's puzzled look.

Several men from the Manor gathered together and went to the lawn.

Kite looked at Kevin and said, "Now that you've returned safely, it's about time I left."

After learning about Kevin's situation from Kim, he also went to great lengths to help Kevin.

Only after confirming that Kevin might be returning did he stay at the Nosra Manor in Kurapika's place for a period of time.

He also wanted to make sure Kevin was safe.

Now that Kevin has returned safely, he naturally has to leave.

Hearing this, Kevin smiled and patted him on the shoulder, without saying anything more or asking him to stay.

He had already heard a lot from Kurapika and knew that the other party had been very busy with his affairs.

Afterwards, one should naturally thank the other party.

"Speaking of which, I never expected you to be Jin's apprentice."

At this point, Kevin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

It was such a coincidence.

Who would have thought that the friend she met at the Sky Arena would be King's apprentice, especially since Kite had previously talked to Kevin about her master, including the trials of finding him.

Who would have thought that the other person would be talking about gold?

Come to think of it, Kevin never actually asked the other person's master's name, and they just missed each other by sheer coincidence.

Hearing Kevin's words, Kite recalled the incident with a touch of helplessness, shook her head, and said with a hint of amusement, "Yes, when King received the news of your disappearance, he brought me to the Nosra Manor, which gave me quite a fright."

That's when I found out that you and Jin actually knew each other a long time ago. I never even thought about it.

However, because of this relationship, their friendship grew even stronger.

Both Kevin and Kite basically guessed it was Kim, and it's very likely they knew that the two had known each other for a long time.

They even guessed that Kevin and Kite wouldn't discuss this kind of information, so they just casually chatted between the two of them.

They might have been secretly laughing at the two of them back then.

"Since you've already completed the trial, Jin must have helped you develop your Nen ability, right?"

Kite nodded, thought for a moment, and said with a smile, "A very interesting Nen ability. I'll let you see it sometime."

Upon hearing this, Kevin couldn't help but smirk and lightly punch the other person with his fist.

"Haha, then I'll have to look forward to that day too."

After saying that, he thought for a moment and asked curiously, "Now that you've completed your apprenticeship and are a Hunter x Hunter, what are you planning to do now?"

He was somewhat curious, but more interested in seeing if he could recruit Kite.

The main issue was that he wasn't sure if Kite was part of Kim's team, nor was he sure if Kite was interested in the Dark Continent.

Not everyone is interested in the Dark Continent, but you can judge their interest by what kind of Hunter x Hunter they want to become.

"I had already planned it out, but I didn't take action because I needed to find gold. I had already made preparations for all the related matters."

Kite said, glancing in one direction of the Manor.

The group looked in the direction Kite was pointing, but couldn't see anything except the dense forest behind the Manor.

But the direction they were looking in was immediately obvious to everyone.

Because that's where they raise Charge Beast.

It is said that many Golden Chicken had already been transported here and raised in that area when Kevin went missing.

Anyway, Squala was in charge of all of this. Having spent several years at the Nosra Manor, he had become increasingly skilled in this area and was already quite adept at it.

Judging from his appearance, it seems he intends to continue working at the Nosra Manor.

After all, it's safe here, the employer is easygoing, the pay is good, and my girlfriend works here too.

He had no reason to leave.

"I'm preparing to become Biological Survey Hunter. I actually started doing that work while I was searching for gold."

The Kakin Empire's relevant department had contacted me before; I was originally planning to go there after completing the new trial.

He didn't say much more after that, clearly because Kevin's matter had been somewhat delayed.

Kevin didn't say much, he just smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"A biological survey? Good luck! Maybe we'll have related missions to collaborate on in the future."

After all, Kevin is Phantom Beast Hunter.

Furthermore, Kevin will begin preparations for his journey to the Dark Continent. These preparations could begin several years or even more than a decade in advance.

Therefore, it's quite normal for them to have mission connections with Kite.

Moreover, biological surveys.

Kevin inexplicably thought of the Chip hidden in his body; couldn't he just scan it and investigate directly?

But thinking about it, Kite, like Kim, probably enjoys the process.

"How's that place?"

Kite finally asked the question.

After the question was asked, everyone around except Kurapika perked up their ears.

Although they are not core members, they are already trustworthy members.

They had collaborated on matters during the nearly one year Kevin had been missing, so they were naturally aware of some of Kevin's circumstances.

Why are you two interested?

Kevin looked at the Basho and Goreinu and asked with a smile.

These two could almost be considered bodyguard Hunter x Hunter, or bounty Hunter x Hunter.

Basically, I just follow my own preferences, work, and make money on the side.

Judging from this, Chairman likely be working at the Nosra Manor for an extended period of time.

After all, they know Kevin, and Kevin will help them become stronger. The benefits and treatment are top-notch, and there's very little to do, so it's not troublesome at all.

Simply put, almost no one would refuse a job like this, especially since they don't really have any goals of their own.

Upon hearing this, Basho frowned.

"I knew about the Dark Continent before, and I was quite surprised. How could anyone not be curious about something like that?"

Goreinu nodded in dissatisfaction from the side.

"Exactly! Who would have thought that the society we know is actually just a small archipelago in a lake?"

Unlike the others, these two genuinely didn't know about the Dark Continent, and learning about it truly shattered their worldview.

You think humans are the masters of the world, but in reality, humans are just Chimera Ant in a small area.

Kevin smiled upon hearing this answer.

If you're interested, that's good; I'm just afraid you won't be.

Thinking this, he led the group on a leisurely stroll around the Manor, chatting about his experiences over the past few days.

After he finished talking.

Apart from Kurapika and Gowen, who had already heard it once, the rest of them fell into deep thought.

Giant Bird that blot out the sky, Sand Worm that destroy the entire area's environment, towering mechanical High Tower, Rain Cloud that speed up and slow down time with the Raindrop, the nests of strange snakes, and a paradise for giant beasts.

All of this is completely different from the human society we know.

After hearing this experience, I was deeply moved and couldn't stop thinking about it.

Kevin didn't disturb them, standing to the side observing the group.

First is Gowen.

Gowen's family and environment from childhood instilled in him a strong sense of Knight, which in turn strongly influenced his Nen ability.

The Seven Knightly Virtues.

It must be said that Gowen's Nen ability is actually very powerful. As his strength increases, his Nen ability will also become stronger. Moreover, there is no need to add anything extra; he only needs to make the equipment he conjures more powerful.

Moreover, his actions earned him respect, and the man acknowledged him as his lord.

Although it sounds a bit childish, Gowen is serious.

As long as Kevin's behavior doesn't cross Gowen's line, he will remain true to himself.

Kevin himself would never cross those intolerable lines.

Therefore, Gowen will definitely join his exploration team.

Because in a sense, this is the lord's expansion of territory, just like in Knight novels where the lord follows his Lord to conquer new lands.

Earlier on the ship, Kevin said he wanted to organize a team, and Gowen got really excited.

The candidate possesses excellent talent, willpower, character, and ability.

Kurapika be honest, Kurapika still doesn't know what he's up to.

The first priority is definitely revenge.

But as the Nosra Manor family group grew stronger, revenge was no longer a pipe dream.

Although the hatred remains, the dark pressure in his heart is no longer there; he only needs to wait for the right opportunity to wipe them all out in one fell swoop.

Furthermore, the influence and connections of the Nosra Manor are already considerable, so it wouldn't be difficult for them to reclaim all the attention.

In general, Kurapika no longer needs to focus all his energy on this aspect as he did in previous years.

However, Kurapika's Nen ability is indeed useful.

Although Kevin couldn't be sure, he roughly knew that Kurapika was the kind of person with a strong spirit of exploration.

It was precisely because of their yearning for the outside world that they sought to leave the former hermitage of the Kurta Clan.

Knowing about the Dark Continent made him yearn for it.

This is also a very qualified team member.

He looked at Pairo, who was deep in thought on the other side.

Unlike Kurapika, the hatred of his clan's annihilation has immersing Pairo almost entirely in dark resentment.

He witnessed the annihilation of his tribe, the cruel scene; he witnessed his mother's death; he witnessed his father's final farewell.

It's fair to say that the hatred in his heart is several times greater than that of Kurapika.

From Kurapika, Kevin also learned about Pairo's childhood.

Because he saved Kurapika when he was a child, he was physically weak due to an accident, which made him not good at sports and instead focused more on studying.

In terms of wisdom and composure, Pairo is indeed far superior to Kurapika.

But the deep resentment made Pairo somewhat extreme.

Rosana and the others had all noticed this, and over the years they had been trying to guide and comfort her, which was certainly much better than at the beginning. However, as long as the hatred remained, the darkness in her heart would never disappear. Even if the hatred was resolved, a sense of regret would remain in her heart.

His Nen ability will also be useful in the Dark Continent, where many beasts have eyes.

Moreover, they have strong investigative capabilities.

Take him to the Dark Continent to divert his attention and prevent him from becoming increasingly misanthropic if he stays in human society.

As for Basho and Goreinu...

These two abilities are definitely useful, especially Basho's ability, which can be described as versatile.

Goreinu's abilities are well-known; he is an excellent support in battle.

Now that I've developed some curiosity about the Dark Continent, if I can entice 1 more, I should be able to get him to join the team.

After all, these are people whose abilities are suitable and whose backgrounds are well-known. When Kevin is building a team, he will naturally consider them first.

As for Kite, let's not rush it. Judging from her appearance, she's definitely interested. Plus, as a Biological Survey Hunter, she should be able to be brought into our team after accumulating some work experience.

Of course, he might also join Kim's team, but Kevin isn't pressuring him on that.

Anyway, according to the agreement, they will Accompany.

Thinking of this, Kevin couldn't help but think of Shalnark, and he scratched his head in a somewhat embarrassed manner.

That's the real problem.

She's a genuinely naive girl who works purely out of personal interest.

Born in Meteor City, he has no personality traits, and his moral compass is extremely low, or even nonexistent.

Its capabilities are very strong; it can be said to be the strongest logistics team.

The problem is that it's a casual thing; she stayed at the Nosra Manor because she liked it and didn't find it boring.

But taking them to the Dark Continent is a different story.

There's still a lot of work to be done.

To be honest, Kevin really doesn't want to let go of someone like that.

After thinking about it, he suddenly realized...

Everyone at the Nosra Manor seems to be incredibly talented.
