Resentment Nen Beasts X Unstoppable

Layer.

Celebration Banquet Hall.

"Is this what the upper class is like? Why are they having banquets all the time?"

Melusina and Kevin leaned against the wall of the Banquet Hall, watching the politicians and businessmen coming and going and exchanging ideas.

Biscuit, on the other hand, seemed quite used to it. After going out to socialize for a while, she returned.

Biscuit, a veteran Nen user, had connections with many of the wealthy businessmen and politicians present. After all, Biscuit was Gem Hunter, and gems were generally controlled by these upper-class individuals.

Therefore, Biscuit often takes on quests in exchange for ownership of extremely beautiful and rare gems.

"You'll get used to it. For people like us who don't need to network or expand our connections, banquets are just boring places to eat and drink."

"But for people who need connections and face, banquets are extremely important."

As she spoke, Biscuit looked at Kevin and asked, somewhat puzzled.

I thought you wouldn't attend the first banquet after setting sail.

After all, Kevin just attended yesterday, and given his personality, he'll probably find it annoying and boring and won't come today.

After all, the people at today's banquet are no different from those at yesterday's banquet.

"I don't believe you can't guess. As the departure Succession Ceremony began, these Prince clearly underwent a different change."

Kevin's main purpose in attending the banquet was to get a closer look at the Succession Ceremony.

This is a major power's most prized possession.

Such an event is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and for Kevin to be able to delve into it, even becoming a close observer, is a tremendous gain.

Kevin became even more interested after he sensed a very close connection between this Succession Ceremony and Resentment.

So Kevin is now an observer at the banquet, standing on the sidelines watching each Prince.

As his strength increased, Kevin broke through his limits.

He was able to perceive many things that were previously invisible simply by using "condensation".

Just as only those with keen senses and bodies at their limits can sense Netero's Hundred-Type Guanyin in battle.

He observed in this way until his gaze fell upon the Throne at the very front of the banquet, which was clearly higher than the place where everyone was socializing.

King Nasby Huiguorou sat there, listening intently to the conversation of those around him, while his seemingly kind and gentle face turned downwards.

Seemingly noticing Kevin's self-satisfaction, he slightly raised his wine glass in acknowledgment.

Before Kevin could retaliate, he shifted his gaze to his offspring.

Did you notice anything?

Biscuit asked.

Kevin squinted and nodded.

"He carries Resentment, or something similar, which is not his Nen ability."

This situation is extremely rare.

Or be Curse by Resentment.

They are either attached to or protected by something formed from Resentment.

"But does the Association really provide so many guards for these Prince?"

Kevin asked, somewhat surprised.

The higher- Prince are fine, but the lower-ranking Prince are almost always surrounded by Hunter x Hunter from the Association as bodyguards.

"After all, it's V6. The Association is just providing a channel; these bodyguards are all volunteers."

Although Kevin was standing in a corner, watching the other people at the banquet, the Prince were also glancing at him intentionally or unintentionally.

Soon, the Prince were arranged to exit in order.

What do you think of these Prince? Who do you think will become the new King?

Biscuit suddenly became interested and asked from the side.

"From my own perspective, I lean towards the Ninth Prince and the Fifth Prince."

"Why?" Melusina asked curiously from the side.

"It's just a perception; I can now discern good from evil in others with the naked eye alone."

This is the change brought about by the Furnace Potion.

Previously, one needed to strike someone to inject energy into their body and obtain feedback in order to discern whether they were good or evil.

Now it can be seen with the naked eye.

"Aside from those lower-ranking Prince who are still children, few of these adult upper-ranking Prince are normal; they can all be described as utterly malicious."

"Especially the first few."

Although he didn't have much hope for these upper-class people, it was rare for him to be so full of malice.

The first to be affected is the Fourth Prince, with whom he clashed yesterday, followed by the First Prince, the Second Prince, and so on.

Among these adult Prince, only the Ninth Prince possessed righteousness, followed by the Fifth Prince.

These are the only two Prince still possess an aura of kindness.

That's truly incredible.

According to Kevin's own assessment, the upper class is more of a mixture of good and evil.

Because they possess power, although there may be instances of malicious intent, their power makes it easy for them to act with goodwill once they use it to achieve practical results.

Take that King, for example.

He could be described as having an overwhelming aura of malice, but as a wise and benevolent ruler of a great nation, he was equally kind.

In some ways, it even overwhelmed the bad luck.

One cannot judge a group based on one's own sense of right and wrong.

Judging by his personal character, this King was undoubtedly a wicked man to possess such wickedness.

Judging from the actions of the national leader, the other party is undoubtedly a wise ruler who brought the Kakin Empire to such a position.

Therefore, good and evil are intertwined.

But these Prince, one after another, committed far more evil deeds than good ones.

Just as these Prince were leaving the stage.

The Resentment in the lower atmosphere suddenly intensified, a slight Resentment that even Biscuit could easily sense, and she nudged Kevin.

"I feel it, something—"

Kevin murmured.

Sure enough, a short while later, some strange-looking Nen Beast began to appear around the Banquet Hall.

They wandered through the Banquet Hall as if out of control, and then left.

"The Nen Beast —each one is like Resentment, or rather, they are composed of Resentment."

Kevin gained a new understanding of Succession Ceremony.

At the start of the voyage, he thought the Succession Ceremony was merely a constraint requiring sacrifices, a blood feud between royal relatives.

But now it seems that it's not that simple at all. As a great power, this Succession Ceremony brings with it a power equivalent to that of thought.

"Is this the foundation of a nation-level power? It's truly not to be underestimated."

Kevin could clearly sense that each of these Nen Beast was deeply bound to those Prince.

They seem to be bound by some kind of rule, but that doesn't mean they aren't powerful enough, because they are essentially autonomous individual Nen Beast.

You see, he had just witnessed many Prince who hadn't even learned Nen ability.

Although these Nen Beast absorb the Nen Aura from these Prince in order to maintain their own existence.

However, their specifications are completely incompatible.

For example, those Prince who were still children, one of whom was even a newborn baby.

Even so, the faint Nen Aura they emitted was still enough to sustain the existence of a Nen Beast.

There's absolutely no comparison.

This need for the other party's Nen Aura is more of a connection than a true exchange of energy.

What truly sustains the existence of these Nen Beast is this Succession Ceremony.

"Let's go. We'll leave the intelligence to Kurapika and Pairo."

99

Kevin and the others left.

Only Kurapika and Pairo continued to socialize at the banquet.

After receiving information from Kevin, the two began to get to know the Fifth Prince and the Ninth Prince better.

The King sat on his Throne, quietly watching Kevin and the others leave until they disappeared from sight.

An unexpected variable----

He couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Kevin's presence is simply impossible to ignore.

"Has he finished gathering intelligence?"

The King asked his advisor beside him.

The short, elderly man nodded slightly, took out a thick document, and handed it to the King.

This is all the information we could gather about Kevin; we obtained almost everything through state-sponsored means.

The King quietly turned the pages, his expression growing slightly more serious as he read.

For someone who controls the Kakin Empire, the fact that Kevin's expression changes is enough to demonstrate how troublesome Kevin is.

They control the Red Stone Pharmaceutical Group and a very important Pharmacy within the Nen ability circle.

These two identities are not so bad; they are insignificant to him as a King.

What slightly impressed him was Kevin's strength; he and Netero had teamed up to kill the Ant King.

According to some intelligence, Kevin's strength seems to surpass Netero's. While this information cannot be fully confirmed, it is highly credible.

In addition, Kevin unleashed his Nen Aura on the deck just before departure.

Nasby mentally estimated that Kevin's strength might be even greater than the intelligence indicated.

That would be very troublesome.

The other party definitely has the ability to disrupt the Succession Ceremony.

The Succession Ceremony that will determine the future of the Kakin Empire cannot be missed.

However, based on the personality test results from the intelligence, the other party's personality is such that they would never simply watch the Succession Ceremony succeed.

"Tell Beyond that he should handle the variables he brings himself, and not let them affect my plans."

Inside a room on the first floor.

Beyond sat on the sofa and listened to the message from the King, he couldn't help but grin.

"How are we supposed to be the boss? Are we really supposed to go up against Kevin? He's no pushover."

The teammate next to him, who was wearing glasses, adjusted his own glasses and said with concern.

They also possess information about Kevin, and it's quite possible that their information is even more detailed than the one the King has.

Pariston sat down beside him, a smile on his face, and said in a calm but slightly excited tone, "Oh dear, this Mr. Kevin isn't exactly known for his good temper. If he knew that this Succession Ceremony would sacrifice the lives of two hundred thousand civilians, he definitely wouldn't stand idly by."

"What should the King do? Should he watch Mr. Kevin's interference cause the Succession Ceremony to fail, or should he forcefully stop Mr. Kevin's actions?"

His tone was full of mockery and amusement.

But although there are two choices, there is actually only one.

That is to do everything possible to stop Kevin from disrupting the Succession Ceremony.

"Boss, is he very strong?"

The mercenary sitting some distance away asked curiously. He was in charge of combat within the team, so he was quite interested in this kind of thing.

Pariston interrupted again.

" By Beyond fought that guy for me, but I don't think Beyond ever did."

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions immediately became quiet and serious, and they all looked at Beyond.

Faced with this question, Beyond made no attempt to hide anything, simply nodding and then shaking his right fist as if recalling something.

"I can sense that he's an Enhancement Type, and his combat abilities are definitely not weak. His Nen Aura is incredibly powerful; I even think that the power of his Nen Aura surpasses that of my father."

By Beyond could sense that Kevin wasn't using his full strength, but in the clash of their forces, he was slightly outmatched.

Furthermore, it's important to know that Kevin isn't famous for his so-called Enhancement Type combat skills, but rather for his potions.

That's their main point.

If the opponent uses a potion, to what level will their strength increase?

Beyond himself didn't understand it.

"Enhancement Type, how do you construct a Nen ability capable of creating such powerful potions?"

These potions are undoubtedly products of Nen ability; for these powerful individuals, it's all too obvious.

Correspondingly, the Nen ability required to create such a product must be sufficiently powerful.

Only those with Specialization Type can possess such a power.

They once thought that the person possessing such abilities was likely a naturally awakened Nen user.

In other words, someone with exceptional talent.

Now the opponent has even shown signs of Enhancement Type abilities, and their strength is quite impressive.

This is of great value for further investigation.

"It seems Mr. Kevin has had some extraordinary encounter, or perhaps he possesses an extra Nen ability compared to others."

Pariston chuckled as he spoke, though he couldn't produce any evidence, but based on this reasoning, this was the most likely explanation.

When he first showed interest in Kevin, he had already begun to investigate him.

Everyone around him didn't seem to possess this Nen ability, except for himself.

For many people, Kevin's past is something that cannot be concealed.

His demeanor at the Pharmacy Academy, his graduation with exceptionally high scores, and his past involvement in selling his youthful pharmaceutical products in the shadows of a city in some country.

He's a player who was born with Nen ability.

His later possession of the power of the localization system gave people the impression that he was likely transformed through long-term modifications using his own potions.

"Ignore this order. Our primary objective is to reach the Dark Continent, and we have no reason to engage in conflict with them."

Beyond had already made his decision; as for the King's orders, that was none of his business.

He abandoned his own arrangements within the Kakin Empire because continuing to maintain them would likely lead to a conflict with Kevin.

This would affect Zuta's preparations for ascending to the Dark Continent, which is extremely unworthy.

As for the royal families of the Kakin Empire, their life or death is none of his concern.

Moreover, anyone with a brain would know that even if Kevin had a major conflict with the other party, Kevin wouldn't go so far as to kill them all.
