Banquet X Uninvited Guests
Nosra Manor.
At this moment, the entire Manor was bustling with activity.
With Kevin and his exploration team returning, a banquet is a must.
Generally speaking, such banquets should be handed over to someone else to handle.
However, chefs like Men Qi, who had already experienced the Dark Continent, were clearly unwilling to hand over the reins to others at this time.
So they took over hosting.
They busied themselves in the kitchen.
"These types of meat are low in nutritional value, but they taste pretty good, so choose them."
Buhaci was picking and choosing from the items nearby.
They were mainly selecting crafting materials brought back from the Dark Continent.
After all, this banquet was meant for everyone else in the Manor to enjoy together.
Therefore, there should be no excess of nutrients.
It needs to be delicious, and also reflect the unique characteristics of the Dark Continent.
These materials naturally need to be carefully selected.
As for Thick White Milk, absolutely not a single drop can be added.
For the others in the Manor, it was still too extravagant.
Meanwhile, they were in the living room.
Everyone had already gathered.
Kevin looked at everyone and said.
"Although I know everyone has just returned and is eager to get back, it's clear that we can't be separated anytime soon."
Hearing this, although everyone felt regret, they still nodded, as they had already discussed this point on the ship.
Whether it's facing the pressure of the potential arrival of V6, or the uncertainty of a potential disaster.
They all need to stick together temporarily. Only after all these issues are resolved will they be truly relaxed and free.
"Are we just going to wait like this?" Light couldn't help but ask from the side.
He couldn't remain calm like Kevin and the others.
Kevin nodded.
"We can just wait here. If nothing unexpected happens, our information has already reached the International Voyage Bureau, and the Chairman won't be able to keep it a secret for long."
After talking for a while...
Kevin asked, "Is there enough medicine?"
Upon hearing this, Light realized what had happened and shook his head.
"We've run out of them long ago, and the Pharmacy closed down a long time ago, leaving only the potions you specifically reserved for me to improve my network."
After all, Kevin and his team spent more than three years traveling back and forth this time.
The remaining medicine was naturally insufficient.
"Then let's reopen the door. It'll also serve as a reminder to some people that I'm back."
Upon his return Pairo took over the matter immediately.
We'll talk about other things later.
Soon, night fell, and a banquet was held at the Manor.
Beside the road leading to the Manor, at the Gate at the foot of the mountain.
Three cars, bearing distinctive license plates and flags, drove straight toward the Manor and stopped at the Gate.
The soldier standing in the guard post at the entrance frowned.
Upon receiving the order from the person next to him, he immediately raised his gun.
"Who is this? This is private property. Without an invitation or prior notice, please leave!"
The door of the lead car opened, and an elite man in a suit stepped out.
Wearing glasses, he frowned and observed for a moment, completely ignoring the soldier.
Instead, he looked at the muscular soldier inside the Gate, his arms crossed over his chest.
Stare at him.
He said, "I am an officer from the Saheltar United Nations' International Security Department - Dangerous Counter-Terrorism Force, you can call me Tedivara."
The soldier he was staring at was the commander of ordinary soldiers; they were from the Red Stone International Security Department, which was established by Red Stone Pharmaceuticals.
This is the boss's place.
"Regardless of your identity, I have not received any notification that you are coming, so please step back and wait, and stay a kilometer away from the door."
In the past, we would naturally take over the communication, understand the situation, and then decide whether to allow passage.
But things are different now.
Martial law is currently in effect.
Even if something comes up, it has to come later.
Upon hearing this reply, the official frowned.
Just as I was about to say something, the door of the car behind me opened again, and this time a relatively young-looking person stepped out.
They walked down, dressed in the traditional clothing of Saheluta.
"Bodor, I have a mission to complete, so you'd better call your boss."
The soldier known as Bodor was startled to see the man descending.
His eyes narrowed slightly.
Finally, he gave the officers at the police station a wink.
The other party nodded, indicating that the boss had already been notified.
A shuttle bus arrived shortly after.
The person who stepped down was Daznuer, the main person in charge of security at the Manor.
He looked at the three cars outside the iron gate, then at the two people standing outside the iron gate.
One of the officials, who appeared to be an ordinary person, had an arrogant demeanor, suggesting he held a high-ranking position.
The other guy, dressed in traditional clothing, was a Nen user; his face looked somewhat familiar.
The official repeated what he had just said.
Daznuer simply watched the two of them.
"This isn't Saheluta. Whatever the issue, it shouldn't be your place to manage it, right?"
And what international counter-terrorism department does Saheluta have? I've never even heard of such a department.
Not to mention that the place they are in is just a small country, and Red Stone Pharmaceuticals has a great deal of influence in the entire country.
The other party definitely bypassed the local government departments.
That's completely illegal.
"The situation is urgent. We have V6-level authorization, granting us supreme authority to pass through and make arrests."
Hearing this, it was clear that the other party intended to use force.
Daznuer frowned, and the atmosphere around him immediately became tense.
The soldiers standing at the door had their hands on the triggers.
A man dressed in traditional clothing took a step forward.
"Daznuer, I know you, and I admire your loyalty, but I don't want to resort to excessive violence, so please let us in, okay?"
Bodor whispered something in Daznuer's ear.
Daznuer then remembered who the other person was.
"I see. So you're Kre, that infamous wild dog. I don't recall ever becoming an official of Saheluta."
Faced with the other party's threat, Daznuer retorted without any politeness.
Kre was a Hunter x Hunter, but that was five years ago.
The other party later became a terrorist.
Logically, in such a situation, they would be eliminated by the Hunter Association, which would then hunt them down and eliminate them.
Because they are terrorists, such matters are generally handled by Porto.
But as you know, everyone was busy with the Kakin Empire at that time, and nobody paid attention to this minor character anymore.
After the Twelve Zodiacs went to the Dark Continent.
A period of inactivity has occurred.
That's when the other side became active.
They also formed an international mercenary group, which was labeled as terrorists in some countries, but in others they were simply hired hands.
However, it's certain that he's on the Hunter x Hunter's internal wanted list.
It has now clearly been incorporated into Saheluta.
"Sigh, there will always be people like you in this world who are not afraid of power and cannot understand human language."
Kre twisted his neck and said with a helpless expression.
Just then, Daznuer's communicator rang.
The sound from the communicator broke the tense atmosphere.
"Boss—Lord Kevin."
Daznuer thought it was Light, but to his surprise, it was Kevin's voice coming from inside.
Their voices immediately became more respectful.
"Let them in, all of them."
"Yes."
Daznuer nodded directly.
He hung up the communicator, glanced at the crowd, waved, and the Gate opened.
"See? Your boss is definitely more sensible. Otherwise, you guys would only be fit for security guards."
Kre made a couple of sarcastic remarks.
However, Daznuer just stared at him.
Show some respect, you stray dog.
"Oh? Interesting. The person you were speaking to with such respect and deference, could it be your boss? That guy named Kevin?"
Daznuer stared at him as if he were looking at a dead man.
"I told you to be respectful."
"Oh.
The two people opposite them got back into the car.
Daznuer got back into the shuttle bus, which led the way, taking three cars up the mountain.
We arrived at the entrance of the Manor.
A group of people got out of the three cars.
The Manor the Gate opened, and the butler and maids were already waiting at the entrance.
"Wow, how impressive! No wonder he's a world-renowned tycoon."
Kre chuckled twice and said.
Then he glanced at the people inside the Manor, raising a slight brow.
Whether it was the butler, the maid, or anyone else, they were all Nen user.
As I walked in, I became increasingly apprehensive.
And they actually let them all into the Manor, their attitude completely different from when they were at the gate.
However, as they approached the main building of the Manor, Kre suddenly froze on the spot.
"What's wrong?" the official next to him asked curiously.
Kre stared wide-eyed ahead.
He felt as if what lay ahead was the lair of a ferocious beast, and he didn't know when he had stumbled into it, with a sense of danger emanating from all directions.
At this moment, the hairs on his body stood on end, and goosebumps rose on his skin.
Ahead! Ahead! Something terrifying is happening!
He turned his head and looked at the butler leading the way.
The butler simply looked at him calmly, while the maid beside him remained composed.
Only Daznuer stared at him as if mocking him.
"Aren't you leaving, friend?"
Daznuer asked with a chuckle.
"Snort!"
Kre snorted, as if to encourage himself.
Then walk forward.
Until the Gate was opened.
"That's what the butler said."
"Sir, the guests have arrived."
When these people entered the living room.
At this point, not only Kre, but also his entourage and officials noticed that something was wrong.
Almost everyone held their breath.
At this moment, in the living room, the banquet had just ended, and everyone, having eaten and drunk their fill, was chatting in various places in the living room.
When this group of uninvited guests barged in, everyone's eyes were fixed on them.
What is this experience like?
Kre couldn't say it.
He had never encountered such a situation before.
Just a glance.
It was merely the gaze of the people in front of me.
His mind was almost blank; he was acting entirely on instinct.
Not just one glance, but many.
At this moment, he was like a rabbit that had strayed into a pack of wolves, or a young deer that had wandered into a tiger's den.
Completely powerless to resist.
But they are unaware of it.
Everyone was watching them like that.
Look at how arrogant and domineering they were down below, while those above remained silent and trembling with fear until now.
Even here, they couldn't speak anymore.
Unfortunately, no one came to their rescue at that moment.
The atmosphere in the entire living room was like a gravity room without air, yet gravity seemed to be directed at them.
I'm already feeling overwhelmed and can barely breathe.
Sweat involuntarily trickled down my forehead.
The man got up.
Kre, who had regained some of his thinking ability, didn't dare to look directly at it and just stared blankly into thought.
The man with a gentle face and a tall, upright figure walked towards him.
Kevin simply stood in front of them.
It seemed to instantly block all view.
At that moment, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and gasped for air.
They made a complete fool of themselves in an instant.
Kre, panting heavily, stared wide-eyed at Kevin in front of him.
There was not a trace of the imposing presence they had just displayed at the entrance.
It took him a while to catch his breath and recover.
Looking at Kevin.
"You've all come here so late at night, is there something you need?"
Kevin asked with a smile.
Kre swallowed hard.
"We are members of the Danger Counterterrorism Squad of the International Security Department of the Saheltar Republic."
"You are all Exploration Team that has returned from the Dark Continent. However, according to the latest conditions, those who return from the Dark Continent must be subject to supervision and investigation. Only after all dangers have been eliminated can they be granted freedom."
"You landed without authorization, which constitutes an act of terrorism. Therefore, please come back with us for investigation, including all your belongings."
What else is there to say? It's blatant robbery.
Nobu adjusted his glasses, stepped forward, and said, "I don't recall having this rule. When was it established? Why haven't I received any notification? The Hunter Association is completely unaware of this matter."
As he spoke, a dangerous glint flashed in his eyes as he stared at the other person.
He asked in a serious tone.
"So are you falsifying your departmental information? Or are you not even government officials of Saheluta at all?"
As he spoke, he prepared to use force, seemingly intending to arrest them first.
Feeling the pressure, the official next to him immediately shouted loudly.
"Wait a minute! We were indeed ordered by the government to come here, this is my work ID!"
As he spoke, he took out his ID from his pocket and handed it over with trembling hands.
Nobu took a look, and it really was.
"Although the documents are genuine, I have never received any relevant legal documents, nor have I heard of the establishment of this department, and I do not understand your authority."
"In this situation, we have the right to understand all the circumstances and then decide whether to accept your investigation."
At this point, the other side wanted to say something.
Kevin walked forward.
This immediately startled them, and they all took a step back.
However, Kevin ignored them and walked straight towards an ordinary-looking person in the group.
Hello.
The ordinary official, who appeared to be just a follower, looked at Kevin walking in front of him and seemed to be startled.
Kevin put his hand on his shoulder and held him firmly.
He turned to look at Kre and the leading official.
Do you still accept Demonic Beast in your team?
"What?"
Before they could even react, the other party knew they had been exposed.
The fear on his face vanished instantly, replaced by a calm, expressionless face.
The change in his demeanor immediately alerted everyone to the problem.
The people around immediately moved away.
"Parasite People! Damn it!"
Kre made an even more exaggerated sound than before.
The officials nearby even screamed.
Seeing this thing seems even more frightening than the pressure we just felt.
