Anyway, he already knew what the Navigation Bureau and V5 were planning next~??
However, now,
He personally went to the Navigation Bureau, learned about all the plots, and decided to present the original version without any falsification.
"Old man, would you like to verify it?"
Morin said as he continued sipping his tea, waiting for Netero's response.
o o o
Netero stared intently at the array of items Morin had laid out on the table, his hand stroking his beard paused.
After a moment, he slowly raised his head, looking at Morin.
"It seems I didn't choose the wrong person for my commission after all."
Netero chuckled softly, "To complete the task so thoroughly in such a short time."
"This ability, speed, and efficiency really put this old man to shame, and the entire Hunter Association as well."
He sighed.
Morin modestly replied:
"Old man, you don't have to say that. It's not the Hunter Association's fault. After all, there aren't many with abilities like mine in the world."
"In fact, there is only one, and no other."
These words were quite bold, yet Netero nodded in agreement.
Because in his view, as Morin had said,
To obtain such crucial information from the Navigation Bureau and V5 in such a short time,
Even Ging couldn't achieve it. Only Morin, with his myriad of magical items, could accomplish such an ostensibly impossible goal.
"It seems I truly am getting old..."
Netero suddenly sighed again, "Even in my younger days, I couldn't do such things.
"You are far more formidable than I was back then, Morin."
He looked at Morin, suddenly breaking into a smile.
Now, with talents emerging from the six continents, having a remarkable figure like Morin appear, there is still a chance to resist even in the face of the potential [calamity].
Moreover, Morin practices the orthodox Shingen-ryu martial arts and is a member of the Hunter Association.
His master and disciple are high-ranking members within the Hunter Association.
Whether it's Shingen-ryu or the Hunter Association, having Morin as a pillar ensures they will stand firm amidst any storm.
And with Ging, the two together...
It seems the issue of the Hunter Association and Shingen-ryu's legacy is something I no longer need to worry about.
Thinking of this, Netero laughed more heartily, more freely.
Perhaps it was because of the presence of Ging, Botobai, and others that the Hunter Association could continue its legacy.
Without worries, Netero could then face the Ant King Meruem in battle, even if it cost him his life.
And now, with Morin, an even more outstanding junior—not just in experience, but perhaps even surpassing him in strength—
With Morin joining in, Netero could let go even more.
"So, tell me, what other rewards do you want?"
Netero chuckled.
"Although I promised to owe you a favor, I think it might not be enough for all your hard work and contributions these days."
"I think I can add a bit more."
"You're being so generous, old man?" Morin asked with a smile, "Is this an extra reward?"
"Since you're being so generous, I won't be greedy. Whatever you think is fair."
Morin placed his teacup on the table, "As long as you keep your promise in the future, that's what I value most."
"Rest assured, I've lived many years and have never broken a promise." Netero assured once more.
"That's good, old man. I'll be off then."
Morin stood up, bidding farewell to Netero.
He didn't ask Netero for any additional rewards.
After all, for him, there wasn't much that could truly pique Morin's interest.
Even if there was, he could probably obtain it himself.
He came quickly and left just as swiftly.
Decisive, efficient, without any hesitation.
Netero watched Morin's figure disappear from the room, his eyes filled with increasing admiration.
"The future world may well be in the hands of people like them."
He smiled, then turned to Beans beside him.
"Upgrade Morin's Hunter rank to three stars."
"Yes... What?!!"
Mr. Beans instinctively responded, then quickly realized, looking at Netero with shock.
"Are you joking, Chairman?!!"
---
Mr. Beans spoke urgently, "Currently, there are fewer than ten three-star hunters worldwide, which means it's the highest hunter title!!"
"This title is extremely rare! It's not something that can be casually given as a reward!! To earn the title of a three-star hunter, one must achieve several historical discoveries or create world-renowned achievements!!"
"Even Mr. Ging Freecss hasn't obtained the title of a three-star hunter!!"
Beans advised earnestly.
"Ging hasn't advanced because he's too lazy to go through the procedures, and he doesn't care much about the hunter ranking."
Netero replied calmly, "As for Morin, I can use the [One-Vote Decision] to appoint him directly, without all the cumbersome procedures."
"But..."
Seeing that Netero had made up his mind, Mr. Beans said with a pained expression, "Even if you want to use the [One-Vote Decision], Morin should at least have some significant achievements to show!"
"Promoting him without any achievements would definitely give Vice Chairman Pariston an opportunity to criticize you."
Beans was genuinely concerned for Netero.
"I remember when I became the Hunter Chairman, I did some things that weren't made public, right?" Netero poured himself a cup of tea, gently blowing on it:
"When I became the chairman, those achievements didn't matter. I can casually pick a couple to give to Morin as his accomplishments.
"Moreover, in the list of personnel credited with discovering and restoring the Ruluka ruins that Ging submitted, Morin's name is also there."
"With that, not to mention a three-star hunter, even a U! star hunter would be more than sufficient."
Netero joked casually, but Mr. Beans was greatly shocked:
"Chairman, you're going to give your achievements to Morin?!"
"Why not? No one claimed them back then, and at my age and position, more achievements don't mean much to me."
"Adding another outstanding three-star hunter to the world, well, that sounds good."
Mr. Beans: "??????"
This is truly reckless!!
But who can argue with you, being the chairman!!
You're the chairman, so what you say goes!!
Mr. Beans was speechless and could only follow Netero's instructions.
"But Chairman??"
He made one last effort, "To appoint a new three-star hunter, such a significant matter should at least be discussed with the Zodiacs, right?"
"Yes, naturally."
Netero replied leisurely,
"But it's just to inform them, let them attend the meeting; they don't need to worry about the results."
Mr. Beans:
Is this the style of a chairman exercising the [One-Vote Decision]?
Impressive!!
"Even if the chairman holds a meeting to seek the Zodiacs' opinions, it seems there wouldn't be any issues..."
Beans thought silently.
Within the Zodiacs, the Monkey, Cheadle, and the Boar, Ging Freecss, both have undeniable connections with Morin.
The Dragon, Botobai, the Tiger, Kanzai, and the Rooster, Cluck, also have certain ties with Morin.
The remaining one wouldn't deliberately obstruct this matter.
In essence, Morin becoming a three-star hunter is practically a done deal.
"This is truly the most effortlessly achieved three-star hunter status in history."
Mr. Beans internally mused.
Meanwhile, Morin, soon to become a three-star hunter, left the Hunter Association and went to find Ging Freecss.
Coincidentally, Ging was on Greed Island at the time.
In an underground central location on Greed Island, within a dimly lit small room.
"What brings you here?"
Ging, with an apple in his mouth, leaned lazily on a panda plush chair, with a few bottles of soda on the table beside him. His face was still covered in stubble as usual.
"You still have the leisure to return to this island."
Morin glanced at the display screen standing in the center of the room.
On it was the scene of Biscuit Krueger meeting Gon and Killua.
"Well, this island is your home ground. Since Gon successfully made it here, it's only natural for you, as his father, to come and take a good look."
"But why aren't you watching from Ishkurube and instead came here?"
Morin pulled up a chair and sat next to Ging. "Weren't you watching well enough during the Hunter Association meeting?"
"You knew about the Hunter Exam?"
Ging asked without lifting his head.
"Yeah, your gazes were so intense, it was hard not to notice."
Morin joked.
