When he heard about Nitro's death from the bean-faced man's intermittent narration, King's face tightened, which was a rare sight.
He, who was not good at comforting people, barely managed to take care of the bean-faced man's emotions. It took him a lot of effort to calm the bean-faced man down.
"Bean-Faced, since it has already happened, even if you cry now, Nitro won't be able to come back. Moreover, the situation on your side does not allow you to slack off at all. The burden of dealing with this matter cannot be placed on Kita Yoshida alone."
"I … know."
"If you know, then quickly share the burden with Kita Yoshida. The current twelve …"
King paused. In the end, he did not reveal the shattered situation of the Twelve Earthly Branches. Instead, he changed the topic and said seriously, "In short, desperate times call for desperate measures. I suggest that you let Kita Yoshida take on the role of interim president as soon as possible."
"Yes, I have the same idea. But, King, are you guys not coming back?"
The bean-faced man sniffled, his voice full of anticipation.
"I'm afraid not."
King leaned against the wall of the passage made of stone and tilted his head slightly, looking at the end of the passage.
There was a large living room arranged for them to beat up the enemy guests. Most of their teammates were there.
"Okay …"
The bean-faced man was very disappointed. He really hoped that King and the others could quickly return to the association. That was equivalent to an absolute cardiac stimulant, whether for the other members of the association or for Kita Yoshida.
King pretended not to hear the bean-faced man's disappointment. "That's all for now. If anything happens, remember to inform me immediately."
"Okay."
Then, the call ended.
King put away his phone and frowned.
"Luo, Luo, where did you run off to at this juncture?"
After a while, King sighed softly, rubbed his temples, and began to organize the information he had recently received.
Back then, they had rushed over to beat up the enemy guests as quickly as possible. In essence, it could be considered a quick rescue.
However, at that time, the motive for coming to the rescue was the large number of manifestations gathered at the bottom of Withered Slaughter Mountain. Among them, there was no lack of special individuals mentioned by Luo, and not Jegg, who ultimately caused the real damage to the enemy Hakkas.
Moreover, in terms of identity, Jag was a member of the same family as the one who had beaten up the enemy guest. He was also someone who should have died a long time ago.
Not to mention what information Maha had unilaterally hidden, what motive did Jegg have? First, he easily injured Maha, then injured Qi and kidnapped Aluja.
As a member of the enemy's Hakka family, what kind of temperament did he have to seriously injure Maha at that time?
Even though beating up an enemy was not something that could be judged by common sense, Jin still could not put himself in Jag's shoes and think about this matter. He could not even put himself in Jag's shoes.
Putting these aside, Jag had disappeared into thin air from Zhan Di Ke's house, and the apparition at the foot of the mountain was slowly fading away. These two phenomena also brought about many problems.
Originally, this information should have been passed on to Law at the time, but they didn't know where Law went, and even Nick's ability couldn't find any trace of him.
"Nitro …"
In the flickering candlelight in the passage, Jin muttered to himself.
Who was the man who killed Nitro?
Even though there was no clear evidence pointing to Jag, Jin, who had always been more particular about evidence, had already determined that the man was Jag.
"According to Melouheim's evaluation, is Jag stronger than Law?"
Jin felt an inexplicable pressure and walked towards the living room. Before he left, he secretly looked in the opposite direction.
After Jin left, Kurapika, Pyro, and Jie walked out from the corner.
Pyro winked at Jie and said with a smile, "Jie, your dad always gives me an unfathomable feeling. He should have noticed us just now."
"Uh …"
Jie didn't know what to say for a moment. He didn't feel like Jin's son, but more like a friend despite the difference in age.
Kurapika looked in the direction Jin left and said, "Even though I didn't hear it clearly, it doesn't sound like good news."
"Yeah, I feel the same way." Pyro nodded.
"No matter what the news is, we'll know once we hear it."
Jie wasn't completely simple-minded, but he always solved problems in a straightforward manner.
Kurapika and Pyro exchanged glances and saw amusement in each other's eyes.
Indeed, it was better to listen to the news live than speculate here. Even though it was a little inappropriate given their status, Kurapika didn't want to miss out on too much information in the current situation.
"Let's go to the living room."
"Wait a moment, I'll inform Qi."
"Okay."
Cool Lapika and Pyro watched as Jie disappeared into the distance.
After a few rings, Pyro said in a low voice, "Bad news comes one after another. It's overwhelming."
Coldness flashed in Kulapi's eyes as he said calmly, "The balance that existed between the six continents and the Dark Continent in the past has been broken, which means that most people can only prioritize 'self-protection'. Therefore, no matter what accidents we encounter in the future, we have to consider 'self-protection' as our top priority."
Pyro looked at Kurapika with amusement. He chuckled and said, "Actually, I'm not that worried."
Kurapika looked at Pyro in confusion.
Pyro said seriously, "Have you forgotten? My telekinesis. "
Kurapika froze for a moment. He said subconsciously, "Time Tinker …"
"Yeah." Pyro looked at his right hand and said, "Even now, I still can't see the upper limit of my Time Tinker ability. Kurapika, do you know what this means?"
"Unlimited possibilities?"
"That's right."
Pyro nodded. He said seriously, "But the prerequisite is that I have to continuously improve my ability. It's going to be a long process."
Kurapika frowned. "The restrictions are already so strict. If you improve your ability further, won't you have to bear even harsher consequences?"
"As long as it doesn't endanger your life, it's acceptable, right?"
"…"
Kurapika was speechless.
Pyro smiled and didn't continue the topic.
Kurapika was his only surviving clansman and the only person he could talk to.
However, ever since his resurrection, there were some things that Pyro had kept to himself.
He was a dead man to begin with. The fact that he was still standing here was no doubt a miracle that transcended the limits of telekinesis.
Sometimes, Pyro would think about the origin of this [Miracle].
He had come back to life in an incredible way, and he had mirrored an even more incredible telekinesis in his mind.
Could this miraculous phenomenon be the result of following the trajectory of fate?
.....
Ezhen Continent was the largest of the six continents. It was also the continent where the Kajen Empire was located.
On a deserted beach, a small boat the size of a pod was lying on its side. A series of footprints stretched from the boat to the shore.
Not far from the footprints were the corpses of many deep-sea humanoids. They had all died in the same way, with only a small amount of blood spilling out of their bodies.
No matter how gruesome the deep-sea humanoids' deaths were or how many corpses there were, the footprints were undamaged.
