"…The above is the complete report of this operation."
After Peng Si finished speaking, she lowered her head and stopped moving. In front of her, a short old man was stroking his beard with a smile. He nodded with satisfaction, then looked forward and couldn't help but sighed softly.
"Oh my, I never thought it would become such a big deal... This is really interesting."
"Is this an interesting question, President?"
Hearing the old man's words, a burly man beside him widened his eyes and pointed forward. His face was pale, and even his hands were shaking slightly.
"One third of NGL's territory has been wiped out!!"
That's right, in front of them, where there used to be a forest, there was now only a bottomless abyss. The dark, seemingly endless abyss shattered everything. The forest, the earth, and everything that lived on it were completely destroyed. Except for this huge pit that seemed to be so deep, there was nothing left. At this moment, the sea water from all around was rushing in like crazy. I'm afraid that in a while, this place will be completely submerged by the sea water.
NGL's territory is not small. This part is almost equivalent to the land of several small countries. However, it was destroyed by a single blow... If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they wouldn't have believed it. In fact, even if they saw it with their own eyes, they still... couldn't believe it.
"It's really too dangerous..."
The sturdy man stared at the pit in front of him, and he didn't even feel his body trembling. Although hunters do have strength beyond ordinary people, is this kind of strength really something humans can do?
Just one strike can cause such great destruction. Is it really possible for humans to do this?
After receiving reports from hunters outside, they determined that extremely dangerous Chimera Ants had entered NGL. In order to avoid accidents, the Hunters Association finally decided to adopt a strategy of sending a small number of elites, with the president leading two people to carry out an elite decapitation operation on the Chimera Ant Queen.
But when they arrived... there was nothing left.
"We must inform the association immediately, and then..."
"And then? What are you going to do?"
Hearing the burly man's words, the old man stared at him, and the latter swallowed.
"We must put those two people on the most dangerous list for monitoring... otherwise..."
"I object."
At this time, the man in a suit standing next to the old man interrupted the burly man directly.
"Look at everything in front of you. Do you want to destroy the Hunter Association?"
"But...how can we leave such a dangerous thing unattended? What if something goes wrong...!"
"So you want to take the initiative to start a war? Even if we take a step back and fight him head-on, how many people do you think the Hunter Association will have to sacrifice to kill him?"
"But...are we just going to leave it like this?"
"Okay, let's stop here."
The old man sighed and interrupted the quarrel between the two.
"At that time, it was my mistake not to let him join the Hunter Association. I was aware of this at the time, but I did not take any measures to make up for it. The responsibility lies with me."
"President?! But..."
"That's enough."
The old man waved his hand again, looking at the huge pit in front of him. He was the commander behind the previous hunter test and the president of the Hunter Association, Netero. At that time, Fang Zheng was angered by the gourmet hunter and gave up the hunter test. At that time, Netero felt uneasy intuitively. Unfortunately, he was dealing with other people's problems at that time, so he didn't go to Fang Zheng immediately. As a result, when he finished dealing with the matter over there, Fang Zheng and Katima had already left.
Now it's like this again...
Thinking of this, President Netero pondered for a moment, then looked at Peng Si who was standing next to him.
"Your name is...Pence, right?"
"Yes, President."
"Do you think he will join the Hunter Association?"
"this……"
Hearing President Netero's question, Pence hesitated for a moment.
"I think... probably not."
"Oh? Why?"
"Because... I had suggested to that gentleman before that we wait for the association to send support before taking action. He said that if we waited for the association to make a decision, we wouldn't know when it would be, so it would be faster for him to do it himself..."
“Ooooo…!”
Hearing this, the old man did not react, but the two subordinates behind him turned pale. Although the other party's words were unpleasant, they knew it was the truth. You know, this time they also spent a lot of effort to finally get the association to agree to let President Netero and two people form a small elite force to come. If it weren't for the troublesome meeting at the Hunter Association, they would probably arrive here faster. As a result, due to factors within the Hunter Association, they had to delay their departure.
But by the time they arrived, Fang Zheng had already settled everything.
So what they said is really correct.
But it is very hurtful to say this...
In fact, Peng Si was more tactful in her words out of consideration for the president's face. Fang Zheng's original words did not give the Hunter Association that much face.
Of course, he doesn't need to give face to the Hunter Association.
"Okay, let's go back."
President Netero once again looked at the bottomless pit in front of him, then turned and left with his hands behind his back. But it was obvious that things would not end like this.
The lightsaber Fang Zheng made at that time was seen by almost all observation agencies around the world, and some even suspected that it was some kind of new missile. In fact, similar reconnaissance reports have been passed on to the Hunter Association.
Now NGL is completely destroyed. In fact, through interrogating those rescued by Pence and Katima, everyone learned that the so-called NGL Nature Reserve is actually a cover. The rulers here use this as a cover, but in fact they are secretly processing and manufacturing drugs. After all, in this reserve that is completely natural, you can't tell what people are growing, and if you dig holes in the mountains to manufacture drugs, you won't be discovered.
It’s just a pity that these guys were captured during the initial Chimera Ant attack and fed to the Chimera Ant Queen to be eaten as meatballs.
So now NGL is in a state of anarchy and can only be temporarily managed by the Hunters Association. But the truth cannot be hidden, especially since one-third of NGL’s territory has been lost. We are not blind, so you have to have an explanation.
President Netero has only one suggestion for this.
"Report the truth."
"Report the truth? How can this be possible?"
After hearing the president's decision, the burly man quickly expressed his objection, however, the man in the suit pushed his glasses.
“That’s one way to do it.”
"How can this be a solution?"
The burly man immediately glared at the man in the suit with dissatisfaction.
"If people knew that someone could destroy one-third of NGL's territory by himself, have you ever thought about what the world would become?"
"But we have no other choice."
Looking at the burly man who was angry at him, the man in the suit spread his hands.
"The other party is not a member of the Hunter Association, and we cannot restrict his actions. Even if we find an excuse to conceal his behavior this time, who knows if he will do similar things in other places in the future? One lie requires countless lies to cover up. Doing so will only make people doubt the credibility of our Hunter Association."
"but……"
"I have made my decision. Report truthfully."
President Netero interrupted the two's argument.
"This matter will be classified as confidential, but hunters who are qualified to view it will be informed. The same goes for other countries. It will be classified as highly confidential information and only they will be allowed to view it themselves. Other than that... we don't need to do anything else."
Having said that, President Netero also smiled bitterly helplessly.
"After all, the other party is quite famous."
“…”
Just as President Netero said, if Fang Zheng was just a nobody, then everyone would still doubt whether the Hunter Association was making up stories. But in fact, although Fang Zheng had not been in this world for a long time, he was already a well-known strong man. Apart from other things, the fact that he destroyed the entire Phantom Troupe by himself was enough for him to brag about for the rest of his life. So others might still doubt the destruction of one-third of NGL's territory, but if it was Fang Zheng, considering that he could destroy the entire Phantom Troupe by himself... it seemed that it was not unacceptable?
As expected, afterwards, the NGL Chimera Ant situation report issued by the Hunter Association immediately caused a sensation among senior officials of various countries.
Everyone’s first reaction to this information was that it was fake, it was so fake.
Many countries also have hunters serving as bodyguards or assistants to their rulers, so they also asked their confidants, and the answer they got was naturally that basically no Nen user possessed such ability, at least they had not heard of any.
But... the destruction of one-third of NGL's territory is an established fact, so you have to give a reason, right?
It's like the saying goes, if an animal looks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then it's a duck.
NGL is currently being temporarily managed by the Hunters Association, and other countries are also sending in additional personnel to conduct investigations, or simply looking for Fang Zheng to confirm - but the other party is really elusive, coming and going without a trace, so you may not be able to find him, right?
However, as long as someone is willing to look for it, it can always be found.
Soon, Fang Zheng received an unexpected invitation from the king of a small country, hoping that he could join the expedition team and explore... the Dark Continent together.
