Chapter 542: The Need for Reputation
The tearing pain from various parts of the body not only showed no sign of weakening, but instead continued to intensify.
Thanks to Moyu's pain tolerance, he was able to talk to Kurapika calmly.
"It's not over yet..."
Moyu turned his eyes and looked towards the direction where the fighting noises kept coming.
A long time has passed since the group of chimera ants escaped.
But the battle is not over yet...
Moyu felt that it was too slow, but he quickly put away this arrogant and inflated idea.
Although he just killed the Ant King and Yupi, this does not mean that the chimera ants are trash fish that can be killed instantly at will.
Kurapika next to him didn't care at all about the battle over there.
Just as he answered Moyu's question just now, he doesn't need actual combat opportunities to become stronger now.
This year's experience made him understand that when it comes to retrieving the eyes of his people, the strength of an individual is far inferior to that of an all-round organization.
So he devoted himself to the underworld, created a gang organization in a short period of time based on his own ability, and also obtained an intelligence channel that he could use.
Only these sharp weapons can help him find the eyes of his tribe.
Therefore, compared to improving his individual strength, his focus is more on expanding "intelligence channels."
In order to let the deceased compatriots rest in peace...
Even if it costs his life, he would not hesitate to do so, let alone fall into the underworld.
Moyu was watching the fighting in the distance, while Kurapika on the side was looking at Moyu.
As if he noticed the strange emotion in Kurapika's eyes, Moyu quickly retracted his gaze towards the battle circle, turned to look at Kurapika, and asked with a smile:
"What? Is there something dirty on my face?"
"..."
Kurapika shook his head, was silent for a moment, and then said in an obviously hesitant tone: "Master..."
"Um?"
"Are you hiding something from me?"
Kurapika kept looking at Moyu's face.
Before asking this question, his mind flashed through various scenes when he met Moyu, as well as the days when Moyu taught him devotedly.
He originally wanted to ask the question directly, "Master, why do you have red eyes?"
But my heart seemed to be clenched suddenly, maybe because I was afraid of getting an answer that would disappoint me...
So in the end he didn't ask the question directly.
Hearing Kurapika's words, Moyu said with confusion on his face: "No, why do you ask so suddenly?"
"..."
Even though Kurapika was always quick-witted, facing Moyu's rhetorical question at this moment, he didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only lower his eyes and suddenly fell silent.
Looking at Kurapika who was silent for a while, Moyu didn't pay much attention, but suddenly thought of the clue about "Fiery Eyes" in the original work.
If I remember correctly, the flaming eyes currently lost are basically in the hands of the fourth prince of Cajin Kingdom.
But Kurapika didn't know about this.
Now that he has decided to help Kurapika find the red eyes, there is no need to hide it.
"By the way, I have some good news for you."
Moyu looked at Kurapika and said with a smile: "It's about the flaming eyes."
"ah?"
Kurapika suddenly raised his eyes, and bursts of bright light suddenly appeared in his eyes when he looked at Moyu.
Could it be that Master is really...
Kurapika's thoughts were shaken when he suddenly heard Moyu's next words.
"I have information about the holder of the flaming red eyes. In the hands of that holder, there are a large number of flaming red eyes."
"!!!"
Kurapika's eyes suddenly opened wide, and his pupils were instantly dyed red.
Although he had specially trained his restraint in accordance with Moyu's request before, when he heard the words "a large number of flaming eyes", no matter how rational he usually was, he was inevitably controlled by emotions at this moment.
"Who is that person who holds it?"
Except for the uncontrollable anger, all other emotions in Kurapika's head were pulled out in an instant.
The question of "whether the master is also a Kuluta tribe" was also suppressed by anger at this time.
Kurapika's reaction was within Moyu's expectation, and he said slowly:
"The information comes from a video on an underground website, and the 'holder' is not an ordinary person..."
"who?"
Kurapika couldn't wait to ask. His eyes were like red moons, exuding murderous intent that was as solid as substance.
Moyu didn't care about Kurapika's interruption and said the name of the holder.
"The fourth prince of Cajin Kingdom."
"..."
Kurapika suddenly fell silent, thinking about the identity of "the fourth prince of Kajin Kingdom" in his heart.
Based on his understanding of the international situation, the countries with the strongest national power in the world today are the Republic of Mingbo, the Kingdom of Guganyu, the United States of Sahelta, the Federation of Ochima, and the United Nations of Berglose.
That is today’s V5…
Although the Cajin Kingdom is not included in the V5, its national power is not weaker than any other major country in the V5.
It is by no means an easy thing to win back the eyes of the people from the prince of such a big country.
The methods used to regain the eyes include deception, threats, money transactions, and even violence...
It does not apply to this so-called fourth prince of Cajin Kingdom.
It would be best if he could transfer the large number of Red Eyes held by this beast without anyone noticing.
But if he cannot do this, or is forced to take more drastic measures.
Then he must be mentally prepared to confront a superpower.
I am afraid that will be a huge price he cannot afford.
Kurapika's thoughts sank into it, constantly thinking about the next actions and steps.
At this moment, in his mind -
there was only the thought of "taking back a part of his compatriot's body".
Seeing Kurapika's reaction, Moyu did not speak to disturb Kurapika's thinking.
He felt that Kurapika needed some time to digest this information. After that, he would collect more detailed information and provide it to Kurapika.
At this moment, the battle on the other side finally ended.
Moyu looked over and saw Killua running over in a hurry.
Except Killua, no one else was seen.
I think it was because Killua ran over immediately after the battle.
The reason why he didn't run to Moyu from the beginning like Kurapika did might be because Killua made the judgment that "he must be there to help".
This is probably the case.
Even if Killua's "Super Speed · Lightning" at this stage is not powerful enough, it can still exert a terrifying restraining force.
With him helping in the battle, the Chimera Ant Suppression Team can greatly increase the fault tolerance rate.
After this joint battle, the team members, such as Moruowu, Nobu, and Nakulu, all recognized Killua's ability from the bottom of their hearts.
The members of the Chimera Ant Suppression Team arrived at the scene one after another.
Even Netero, who had received simple treatment and rest, was among them, but he still looked old and dying.
It seems that it will take some time to recover, and it is possible that he will never be able to recover to his previous state.
After everyone arrived, they all looked at Moyu sitting on the load-bearing column.
The difficulty of this operation was more difficult than expected.
It was undoubtedly the most difficult task they had encountered since becoming professional hunters.
They had already prepared for the worst, but they didn't expect Moyu to suddenly show his power and turn the tide...
It can be said that Moyu was the biggest contributor to the campaign against the Chimera Ants, without a doubt.
Everyone's eyes were focused on Moyu, the biggest contributor, but Moyu looked at Netero.
In Netero's eyes, Moyu saw a trace of indescribable complexity.
But no matter what, Moyu sincerely hoped that Netero could recover.
Whether it was his body or his spirit...
A few hours later.
The Hunter Association's spaceship came directly to the sky above the Donggudo Palace.
In addition to the Hunter Association's spaceship, there was also a spaceship from the Ferry Administration, which was directly under V5.
They came for the body of the Ant King.
At present, the Chimera Ant has been defined by the Ferry Administration as a disaster from the Dark Continent.
Therefore, the Ferry Administration needs to take action on the sealing and research of the bodies of the Ant King and other Chimera Ants.
Of course.
From the perspective and position of the Ferry Administration, the Hunter Association will certainly not be stingy with rewards for its outstanding performance in this campaign against the Chimera Ants.
Soon——
The people of the Ferry Administration carried away all the bodies of the Chimera Ants, including the Ant King and his direct guards, and then left the palace without stopping.
The whole process was neat and tidy, without wasting any time.
"I don't care what method 'V5' wants to use to calm this incident. Anyway, I have only one request."
In the Hunter Association's spaceship, Moyu and the bean-faced man sat opposite each other.
The bean-faced man habitually wiped the sweat with a handkerchief and asked weakly:
"But... the above means to block the news as much as possible, and not let the public know too much about the Dark Continent. The Association also agrees with this way of handling it..."
"Little Bean, do you think that under the current situation, the relevant news about the Chimera Ants can be completely blocked?"
Moyu asked calmly.
Blocking the news can make big things small and small things nothing.
If it really can't be resolved, find a "temporary worker" to take the blame.
For example, the Hunter Association this time...
If this Chimera Ant crusade fails, or if a huge price is paid in the mission, in the end, only the Hunter Association will be held responsible and blamed.
This is the official practice.
If the only "disaster" invading the six continents is the Chimera Ant, then Moyu has no objection to the "blocking of news".
But there are currently several "disasters" raging in the six continents, and they have not been resolved.
Many forces and small groups in the private sector have heard some news.
Even in some popular blogs on the Internet, there are many topics about "disasters" being discussed.
In this case, even if V5 has a lot of power, it is impossible to block all sources of news.
Not to mention those areas outside the jurisdiction of V5.
For example, the Kingdom of Kakin, which is independent of V5 and the International Alliance.
News and topics related to "disasters" have reached the point of being unrestrained in the private and online environment of the Kingdom of Kakin.
And the official does not seem to care about the spread of these "news" at all, so there is no blockade.
At this point, V5 still wants to block the news of Chimera Ants...
In Moyu's opinion, it doesn't make much sense.
He hoped that V5 could use this incident to let the people of the six continents accept the existence of "disaster" in advance.
Of course.
Moyu had such an idea, which was actually related to his selfishness.
The reason why he hoped that V5 could disclose the relevant information of the Chimera Ant incident was nothing more than to gain a huge amount of fame.
It was not that he was greedy for fame and fortune, but only a huge amount of fame could allow the "Legend Road Monument" to condense new purple beads, so that the second counter-position cornerstone could be born.
Moyu deeply realized the value of the "counter-position cornerstone" in the battle with the Ant King.
So how could he miss the opportunity to quickly condense the second counter-position cornerstone.
With his performance and contribution in this incident, even if he could become famous all over the world because of this incident, it was what he deserved.
So when Moyu made a request to the Bean Face Man, it could be said that he had no pressure.
Faced with Moyu's request to be announced to the world, let alone the Bean Face Man, even those people in the Hunter Association Committee would definitely feel embarrassed about it.
The bean-faced man didn't know how to answer Moyou's question, and he just felt that his sweat was oozing out faster and faster.
To be honest...
The bean-faced man didn't mind letting Moyou get the due reward and fame from this incident.
But as a civilian organization, the Hunter Association couldn't ignore the requirements issued by the "official".
If they insisted on satisfying Moyou's requirements, they would definitely not be able to explain to V5 afterwards. The worst result would be that the Hunter Association would fall apart under the pressure of V5.
"Forget it..."
Seeing the sweat flooding on the bean-faced man's forehead, Moyou shook his head.
The Hunter Association has a transcendent status and power in the civilian world, but in front of a behemoth like V5, it has no say at all.
So it is unrealistic to let the Hunter Association go against V5.
Anyway, with the achievements of this mission, it is enough for him to get the title of "three stars".
After that, let the Hunter Association do a good job of publicity, and it should also be able to get a lot of reputation.
"I won't mention the public request again, Xiaodouzi, stop sweating, it's almost flooding."
"..."
The bean-faced man first breathed a sigh of relief, then laughed bitterly.
Moyou suddenly got up from the sofa, walked to the window, and looked at the blue sky and white clouds outside the window.
"Xiaodouzi, after the performance is calculated this time, I want the position of 'Shen Monkey'."
"Huh?"
The bean-faced man looked up at Moyou who was standing in front of the window.
Ever since Xiyou died in an accident, the position of Shen Monkey in the twelve earthly branches has been vacant.
Originally, I had to worry about who could replace this position, but I didn't expect Moyou to take the initiative.
In the opinion of the bean-faced man, there is no one in the association who is more suitable than Moyou to fill the position.
"I will report this to President Netero!"
After the bean-faced man reacted, he responded quickly.
The process of selecting new members of the twelve earthly branches is still quite cumbersome.
But if it is Moyou, it will be done with a simple process!
