Almost everyone standing in the corridor was from the Hunters' Association.
Among them, apart from Paristone, King, and Law, the rest of the 12 Earthly Branches were all here.
In addition, Mo Laowu and Norb were also here, along with their disciples: Pam, Nakulu, and Shouto.
Other than that, there was also Biscay, Dongba, and the mosaic ant Norb had released from the fourth-dimensional apartment — Nick.
Nick was probably the only survivor of the mosaic ant colony.
As a mosaic ant, Nick should have stood out among the crowd like a crane in a flock of chickens, but that was not the case.
The members of the 12 Earthly Branches all had obvious zodiac characteristics. To put it bluntly, they covered the palms of normal humans. To a certain extent, the 12 Earthly Branches were like mosaic ants.
This was also the reason why Nick did not stand out.
At this moment, as a mosaic ant, Nick was naturally surrounded by the members of the 12 Earthly Branches who had finished their visit. Like a rare animal, he bore the brunt of the hostile gazes from the members of the 12 Earthly Branches.
Among the members of the 12 Earthly Branches, only Wei Yang Yinda was still leaning against the glass, looking at the old Nitro on the sickbed with teary eyes.
Even now, he still could not accept Nitro's miserable state.
Standing beside him was Biscay.
That day, she was asked by Law to go and help Jie and Qi Yan, then left and came directly to the hospital when Machi and the others did not need help.
At this moment, she looked worriedly at Nitro through the glass.
As a powerful body cultivator, she could see Nitro's condition with her eyes alone. She would not be surprised if the number representing his life force on the machine suddenly dropped to zero.
It was not a symptom that could be classified as an injury, but a situation that was worse than being on the verge of death.
Could it really be cured?
Biscay could not help but doubt.
Not far from the glass, Mo Laowu and Norb stood side by side, their three disciples behind them.
The way the 12 Earthly Branches surrounded Nick was like a group of junior high school students surrounding an elementary school student. It was simply infuriating.
However, Mo Laowu and Norb chose to watch from the sidelines as Nick was constantly being "persecuted".
The reason why they didn't do anything was because they couldn't interfere, and because they were sure that Nick would be fine.
According to the previous agreement, Nick sold the information of the other chimera ants in exchange for freedom.
After that, the information was verified one by one, and there was no mistake in it, so Nick should be set free.
But the problem was that the person who made the promise was Nitro, and Nitro was still lying in the ward and had not yet woken up.
That was why Mo Laowu and Norb would not let Nick go before Nitro woke up. That was why Nick was here.
If the temporary imprisonment was a restriction on Nick's telekinesis, then Nick's vow was a guarantee of personal safety.
The twelve earthly branches had already learned about Nick and the reason he was here from Norb, so even if they wanted to kill Nick, they could only surround him and exert mental pressure on him.
Nick was no fool. He could see that he was temporarily safe, but he still felt terrible being suppressed by so many vicious fellows.
"Every injustice has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. Go find Melouheim if you have the guts. What kind of man are you to bully an honest person here?!"
Melouheim had already been killed by Law, so Nick was just venting his feelings. On the surface, he was like an obedient and harmless rabbit, obediently curled up in a corner and acting the most vulnerable he had ever been in his life.
"Is this red-furred fox really at the level of a division commander?"
As the most bad-tempered of the twelve earthly branches, Yin Tiger and Kang Zai were probably the ones who wanted to fight the chimera ants the most.
Now, there was a division commander right in front of him, but he couldn't do anything. Moreover, this chimera ant looked very weak.
[You're the red-furred fox. Your whole family are red-furred foxes.] This was the sincerest greeting from Nick's heart.
"Who knows? Maybe he's an exception. If all chimera ants are so weak, why would the president be like that? Plus, only five people returned alive from the mission."
Rabbit Piyoen observed Nick carefully, as if he was looking at an interesting object.
If Nick was used as a reference, the chimera ant really did seem weak. However, the president's condition and the pitifully low survival rate proved that chimera ants were still very difficult to deal with.
[I'm an exception. I'm sorry.] This came from Nick's most unintentional self-deprecation.
"I agree." Ugly Bull Miyston said calmly.
Ge Er the Snake looked at Nick coldly and suggested, "Although we can't do anything to him, it's best to inject him with a paralyzing toxin to restrict his movements."
"Hah, that's what we should do." Chicken Yu agreed.
[…] Nick was at a loss for words as he trembled from the bottom of his heart.
Faced with the unrestrained conversation of the twelve earthly branches, Nick could only resign himself to it. He lowered his head and said nothing.
Damn glasses man. Why did he let me out?!
Nick complained in his heart. He didn't realize that he had been thinking about leaving the fourth-dimensional apartment for the past few days.
Among the entire group, Dongba was the furthest away from the ward. He sat on an empty bench.
He didn't have any feelings for Nitro. He only came here because he was waiting for Law.
Sitting on the bench, he was in a daze. Suddenly, he looked up at the entrance at the other end of the corridor.
Although he didn't use his ability, he immediately sensed that someone had come to the other side of the door with his keen senses trained in the Dark Continent.
The door was pushed open. A blonde man in a striped suit and red tie walked in.
His face was filled with a faint smile. There seemed to be stars circling around his body.
Dongba just glanced at him and looked away. He continued to be in a daze.
He thought it was Law. It's been more than a week. It's understandable that King didn't come back, but why wasn't Law here?
That was what he thought.
The person who came in was Paristone.
He strode over and looked at the members of the 12 Earthly Branch. He smiled and said, "Aiya, you guys are already here. Recently, I've been really busy with the matters related to Eastern Guotuo. However, I'm still the Vice President, so I should do my best."
His tone and the content of his words successfully attracted the attention of the twelve earthly branches members.
Seeing this, Nick heaved a sigh of relief.
"Thank you for your hard work, vice president." Kita Yoshida looked at Paristone. She emphasized the title of vice president.
"It's not hard at all. I'll just take it as getting used to it in advance." Paristone smiled.
As soon as he said this, the gazes of the twelve earthly branches members suddenly turned cold.
Paristone's words not only cursed President Nitro's death, but also indicated that he would take over the position of president.
Facing the unfriendly and cold gazes of the twelve earthly branches members, Paristone acted as if nothing had happened. He strode to the large glass window and looked at Nitro who was lying on the bed.
In an instant, he showed a pained expression. It was as if Nitro was his father.
"It's too fake!"
The twelve earthly branches members looked at Paristone's expression and thought at the same time.
"President, you can rest here and recuperate. I'll take care of the association's matters." Paristone pressed one hand on the glass window and said emotionally.
At the side, Bi Si Ji's forehead was filled with black lines.
The twelve earthly branches members thought: "This guy!!!"
"It's quite lively."
At this moment, a voice was heard.
